CEREALS MARKET
DULL AND SHADY
Prices Remain Firm and
Trading Is in Narrow
Limits.

CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-The grain market
today was steady. dull. and prices a
shade lower. Trading was within mar
row limits, both as TO prices and sales.
Attention for the moment seems to be
centered in the ..sw York stock market
and the cotton pool.
Wheat opened firm at about last
nights close, influenced by the low tenn
peratures in the Northwest. Early buy
Ing advanced prices Ac. Then mood
of wheat was thrown on the market,
causing a decline of &C from top prices.
On the decline the market received fair
support.
There was little news from the har-
vest centers today. but such bulletins
as arrived here were favorable.
The somewhat lug1bTlOus report Of
the Second National Bank on the crops,
criticising -he figures OF the Census Blu
reau, had no perceptible effect upon the
market II is taken to mean here that
the wise ones in banking circles want
to issue a sort of veiled warning against
speculation, and have put IL into the
crop and trade report
The general condition OF the specula-
tive grain market is good and brokers
are not worrying over the situation.
Most OF them would like 70 see more
but they think that will come

The action OF young Archbold and his

aroused great Indignation. and Charles

ANTI-HUGHES MEN
FEAR MORAL VOTE"
Governor to Be Renamed
Because of Effect of Act
on Country at Large.

That Governdf Hughes was accepted
and given the Presidents Endorsement
for denomination, and because Of condi-
tons foreign TO New York internal poll
tics, is the explanation made on a very
high Administration authority for the
determination that ne snail be renOml-
mated
1t is said that the canvass Of the eIe-
menfs for and against Hughes in New
York did not result in such a prepOn-
derance Of demand. or in such a show
ing Of strength. as would, by themselves
have dictated forcing the governor upon
the reluctant party leaders Of the State.
On the other hand. it was indicated
that there was very little to choose IN
strength, within New York State, as
between Hughes and some other gooG
man.
The factor which decided for Hughes
is declared TO have been outside senti-
ment That is, the fear that II Hughes
were rejected, the pr0gresstves and in
dependents Of the rest Of the country
would take Offense at Il, and knowing
that the President had been the head
of the determining council, would as
sumo that the rejection meant that such
policies az those for which Hughes has
stood were not to be cOuntenanced by
the party leadership hereafter
"A great moral vote throughout the
whole country was conceived 70 be de-
voted TO Hughes, anG TO refuse indOrse-
ment Of him would menace the party
with the loss OF a large and widely scat
tered vote which ardently admired him
for his anti-gam5ling night.
The church vote was believed to be
largely involved in this situation, and
thus the decision 10 take Hughes again,
even though IL means q difficult and
complex fight in New York was en-
forced by consideration OF Hughes
strength nationally.
