Volume of Business Falls Off to Small Proper
tions, and Fluctuations Are Narrow and Unlm-
Notwithstanding as to Future.

New York, June 26.--The feature of
the market the past week has been
tre backing and hlling character Of
the fluctuations within narrow
range, This has been due to the con-
dieting weather and crop reports, and
the mixed character of the trade re-
ports from the milling districts and
dry goods centers The result has
been to confuse traders opinions on
the Immediate future course of prices
TO such an extent the volume of bust
ness has fallen off to very small pro-
portions, and fluctuations are narrow
and uninlportant.
The Weeks Rnngc of Prices.
From the low level of prices reached
last Friday afternoon. when there was
so much selling on the news of the
Federal indictments against the lead
ing bull interests. there was a steady
recovery. which continued throughout
the early part of this week This
carried prices UP 80 to 45 points for
the old-crop options, and 80 to rs
points for the new-crop months. with
the high level reached on Tuesday
and Wednesday. Then July sold at
1923. August 1920. September 1881,
October 1868, December 1898, and
January lz,3i. these prices We're
made chiefly on covering of shorts,
and renewed buying by local and
Southern operators. Since then prices
have reacted is to % points, on scat
tered reselling, and some liquidation in
July from traders following the posi-
ton of the bull clique The falling
off in the SPOT demand at Liverpool,
and the reactionary tendency of that
market and the poor trade reports
from New England and Southern
mills caused this selling. Reports of
poorer crop accounts than recently,
and the absence of needed rains all
over Texas, however, braced UP the
market yesterday, and 1t showed
better undertone at the close. with
July then ending at 1908, August 14.74,
September 1928 October 124S, Decem-

HARVESTING
NATURAL ICE
Dealers in Natural Product
Are Having a Great and
Good Harvest

There is rejoicing among ice dealers
who have storage houses near lakes and
rivers In Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In the protracted cold spell the water
has frozen TO a thickness OF about fifteen
inches in some sections, and harvesting
has begun. Tho ice ~ thicker than it
has been for many years. and there Is
every reason 20 believe that a supply
sufficient 20 meet a great deal OF the
demand OF this city next summer will be
stored.
In the pocono Mountain region. in Mon
roe and Carbon counties. Pennsylvania
from which some OF tho local supply II
secured. an excellent crop Of Ice Is being
cut and stored IN nearby warehouses. The
quality Of the ice IS very encouraging.
and blocks OF uniform thickness OF
- IA inches are being harvested. Much
OF Il q being shipped direct 10 this
city.
Most OF the big companies store tho Ice
taken from lakes and rivers by means
OF machinery. After Il Is sawed Il rs
noated 10 an elevator incline and hoisted
into the houses. which are built under
ground and have wooden roofs. AS tue
blocks ascend the elevator they are shaw
ed by planes TO uniform thickness so
that the storing can be affected with
more precision and the greatest quantity
put into a given space. The shaving
also rds the ice Of any snow or dirt
coating which may have frozen into it.

HINTS ON SAVING.

Here are few hints on how not to
save:
1. Don't go without your lunch, even
once; It will injure your health.
2. Don't walk home after a days
shopping: you can save money later,
but never a new constitution after your
one and only one has been UNDER
mined.
3. Don't sew in the twilight. Artificial
light is cheaper than the bill Of an
oculist.
4. Don't wear thin clothing on cool
days; flannel is cheaper than medi-
cine.
3. Don't use cheap soap. It will
necessitate an expenditure in cold
cream. etc, to remedy the harm upon
the skin.
6. Don't try to do the work of the
upholsterer or carpet layer. You may,
if you do, never feel again like trying
a piece Of hard work.
a. Don't overwork; nobody will thank
you sufficiently for Il and nerves and
temper may be permanently ruined.
