THE COFFEE MARKET.
Members Favor Changing By-lnws
to Permit sugar Trading.

The members of the New York Coffee
Exchange adopted resolutions yesterday
and amendments to the bylaws to permit
trading In sugar futures on the floor Of
the exchange, Originally 1t was planned
to inaugurate trading in sugar futures
on September II the scheme was adopted
but in view OF the suspension OF coffee
business the date for starting these trans
actions has been left open. 1t is not
believed that trading will be started un-
til the exchange reopens for business In
coffee contracts.
The lquidating committee of the Cof-
fec Exchange continued yesterday its
work of effectlng switches into the De.
ccmber position and liduldating open CON
tracts. The latter business embraced sales
OF September at SIS and December AT
7,06, These prices represent the 80
rings and margin prices OF July 30, and
are therefore the lowest at which trades

the committee.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
London Situation.

London cables report that efforts are
being made to settle the speculative ac-
count carried through tho last settle
ment This account, II Ia held. Is the
chief obstacle to the renewal OF business
In public securities. The difficulty of
dealing with this situation will be realized
when the enormous decline that occurred
in the last fortnight OF trading Is re-
called. Brokers In all Continental cities
are In q similar position. Tho banks have
been carrying the brokers and the brokers
are looking to their customers to make
up the differences. Many of the customers
find II convenient to take advantage Of
the moratoria. II II were q question OF
opening up now the position OF the for
eign stakeholder would not be an en-
viable one. Here also the banks are
carrying the brokers. But the brokers have
received material assistance from their
customers in their efforts TO protect the
market position. Much stock has been
taken up and margins have been
strengthened. The question OF opening on
this Is based on the ability OF the bank
ing position to place itself In a position
to finance possible further liquidation on
a big scale

The weakness of such suggestions as

appreciate that while foreign liquidation

held merely to exchange views on the
general financial situation.

Bile time was devoted to the discussion OF

bankers are known to look with consid-

TENNESSEE DIVIDEND PASSED.
Railway and Power Company
Awaits Eject Here Of War,

The directors OF the Tennessee Railway.
Light and Power Company have decided
not to pay the regular quarterly dividend
of u per cent on the preferred stock of
the company due on September l owing
to the conditions caused by the war.
The statement issued 10 the stock
holders regarding the non-payment of the
dividend is al follows: I'm view OF the
present unsettled financial and business
conditions throughout the world brought
about with such startling rapidity by the
general European war the board of direc-
tors of the Tennessee Railway. Light and
Power Company have decided that the
only proper policy is TO conserve in every
way possible the cash resources OF the
company until the effect OF the war upon
the industrial and financial condition Of
the country IL more clearly determined.
The earnings of the past year have
naturally suffered from the depression Of
business but II was reasonable TO assume
that with improving conditions due to
excellent crops and with the completion
of construction work the company could
continue to. pay the regular quarterly
dividends on the preferred stock"

The clarifying OF the wheat export sltu-
alton made further progress yesterday.
In consequence prices gradually rose close
to cents. Clearances from sesboard
ports totalled / 100000 bushels and Brad
streets gave exports of wheat and -four
for the week at 6,940. 900 bushels. A week
ago these shipments aggregated only g.
726, 900 bushels.
Authorities at the Southwest declared
that fresh sales 10 foreigners we're be-
ing underestimated, and there we're ru-
mors OF new business. presumably with
England and France. 1t is difficult to
separate the so-called fresh transactions
from those which merely represent the
transferring OF old contracts to other
parties. Such operations occur daily and
aid materially In overcoming the chaos.
Ihere was quite n little short cover
ing of wheat yesterday Certain traders
had become emboldened to sell the list on
the prospective movement of Amrican and
canadian spring wheat. These interests
ran quickly when II was discovered that
the actual hedge pressure and farm
offerings were not burdensome.
The Modern WiHcr claimed that nour
demand for domestic purposes was still
liberal. This authority also commended
that the SOFT winter wheat crop had been
overstated. Conflicting with recent ad-
vices was the guess Of a prominent Ca

A suggestion.

A letter addressed TO the president OF
the New York Stock Exchange makes
the following suggestion to facilitate the
resumption OF trading I'VE do not owe
to Europe an open market in their pres
ent war scare and a limited number of
stocks at times may be admitted to trad
ing, selecting such stocks as have the
leas. foreign holdings The corporations
should furnish their stock lists Is
proof Of such conditions. In addition
to this, the admitted stocks should be
traded In at first in the exchange unit
Of one hundred sisr~. These limitations
may be increased from time to time as
circumstances warrant But this plan can
be introduced without danger to our gold
and II will create a stability no other
plan would give The opening OF the
exchange to this limited extent would
create great confidence throughout the
country"
