Show WORLD'SMARKETS WALL STREET. New York. Sept 4 Speculation approached ap-proached a deadlock today and al though the predominating tendency during the morning was downward movements were variable and hided slve. Beare were less confident, fearing fear-ing that the extent of the decline of the last few days and the large short lnt rest now believed to be outstanding, outstand-ing, might lead to a sudden upturn. Operations on the long side were discouraged by the ease by which tbe stocks succumbed to the selling. Weather reports from the cotton crop regions told of a continued lack of moisture In the corn belt, although some rain was reported In sections of the cotton and wheat acreage Special pressure against Reading and I'nTon Padflc undermined efforts to rally the list and caused throwing over of holdings bought to support prices. After the first hours trading had disclosed the hesitant character of the market, efforts to move prices In either direction were virtually abandoned and business all but cam" to a halt Bonds were firm The downward movement In stocks was continued In the first transai tlons today, although pressure was not severe and losses were confined In most cases to small fractions The moBt active selling was In Union Pa cific and Reading, which declined I about a point each; Canadian Pacific also receded a point Southern Pa clflc opened fractionally higher, but quickly gave way to yesterday s low price of SO 3-8.

The upturn up-turn had heen due to hleher cables and to unsettled weather northwest Offerings at first were very lljrht but later the pit supply became excessive, especially for May dellverv Opening Open-ing figures showed a gain of 1-8 to l-2c. a condition which afterward chanced to an equal loss. Drought and heal orer most of the belt gave strength to corn The market mar-ket however, receded a good deal when wheat turned weak. First sales were 1-831-4 to 5-808-4C higher and 6ome of the advance was retained despite free selling by leading concerns con-cerns In oats, support was rather scattered scat-tered and new demand not so important import-ant as for other grain. The market at the outset was 1-8 to l-4c up but' prices after a while sagged to below last night's level. Buying credited to packers lifted provisions. The best call was for the May producL Wheat World breaking records of the spring wheat eased prices. In the last hour, however, the market rose on good buylnc The close was: steady 6-833-4 to lc net higher Corn Brisk demand for cash corn led to new high prices for the sea- J son.
