CANDID OPINION.

AS long as a man is winning he is
pretty sure to believe that luck IA
vors those who deserve the things
which are good.
1t is not until after she has broken
somebody's heart that a girl begins
to have serene confidence in herself.
One of the worst things about fun
ts that it doesn't seem funny II we
can afford it.
Loves only dream frequently ends
by being a nightmare.
Always there are plenty Of fools
to do the foolish things which are
waiting to be done.

Are you, dear?"
Yes, l notice it more and more ev-

"Of course l do. I've been sorry
ever since we had him christened that
we didn't give him your name"
Sweetheart, you don't know how
happy you make me by saying that"
"And, Harry, dear-I found the love-
Hest hat today. don't believe l ever

to pay that much for a hat?"

MISSOURI PACIFIC
AT NEW LOW PRICE
Stock Declines to 95s on Heavy
Observation-Disclosures Confer
on |. & g. N. Notes.

By selling down 10 90, yesterday on
the Stock Exchange Missouri Pacific
established a new low record. The
record, made more than twenty years
ago. and loss Of ! Z points, compared
with Thursdays last sale. The selling
continued heavy, more than 4l.70O
shares changing hands. The highest
price a. which Missouri Pacific has
ever sold was in September, 1902, when
il touched 1852.
Wall Street continued its search for
reasons to account for the persistent
weakness in Missouri Pacific shares,
and the one most generally accepted
was that drastic Encouragement of
the compGny's finances is contemplated.
Reports that the road has been accu-
mulating big floating debt were semi
officially denied

STEEL ORDERS GREATER
Gain for June 34,597 Tons,
First Since February.

Untitled orders on the books of the
United States Steel Corporation for
June, as reported yesterday, showed an
increase for the first time since Febru-
airy. On June 80 the untitled orders
amounted to 4032,S57 tons, compared
with 3,o9S $50 on May 81. or gain of
1857 tons. As against the orders on
hand June so, 1918, however. there was
a decrease of 1,774,460 tons.
The Steel Corporations June state
ment was considered particularly IA
vorable in view of the fact that for
May a decrease of more than 275,OOO
tons was reported. In June orders were
at an average rate of about $1,000 tons
day. compared with only about $4,000
tons a day in May. Shipments last
month were about $4,000 ions day,
compared with 10000 tons day in
May.
Steel authorities predict that if the
Steel Corporation can show an increase
in untitled orders this month II VIII
mean good business in the fall and
winter.

PRICE MOVEMENT
IN COMMODITIES
Wheat Loses an Advance
Corn Eases Off,
Oats Still Higher.

Export business amounting TO about
100000 bushels for the week, with
charters for freight room making as
far ahead as October, with the help OF
additional black rust stories, was not
enough to overcome the depressing ef-
feet on prices of the food of new
wheat on its way to market, and the
local market, which was at an advance
in the early dealings, became weaker,
with the close easy. net so. sc down
Corn went to new high figures for the
season early in the day, but buyers
would not follow the scale up, and
weakness developed. with the close net
sc up to sc decline. Oats held
steady all day, although the decline in
corn caused little saggy feeling, but
prices were net b@ sc higher at the
close.
There was nothing of moment in
the coffee trade. Europe was lower,
cost and freight prices were 10 points
off and the local market, after a dull
session, closed , to points below
Thursdays finals.

BALANCE OF TRADE
STILL FAVORS u. S.
Less than Last Year, but
4O0,000,00O to the
Good.

Washington, July TO- connection
with "the recent phenomenon of an
excess of imports over exports IN
April and May the Department OF
Commerce, in statement to-day on
the commerce of the world and inter
national balances of trade, announced
that the net export balance Of the
United States probably would exceed
SlcO,000,O00 for the current fiscal year.
This would be about S250,000,000 less
than last years balance.
The department pointed out that a
large proportion Of the older and more
advanced nations show an excess of i'm
ports over exports of merchandise.
Canada shows balance on the import
side. but nearly all other American
countries show larger exports.
THE worlds commerce. as far as
ascertainable," said the departments
statement, "approximates 100000. 000,-
GOO. imports being $2l ,000,000.000 and
exports S19.000.000,U00. The excess of
$50 O.O00,000 on the import side is ac-
counted for in part by the fact that
many importing nations include in
their import values the costs of inland
freight, insurance and other charges,
and in some degree to the closer
scrutiny of import values, which are
frequently the basis of customs rev.
enue. Obviously the figures have no
reference to purchases by travellers
and invisible trade settlements. usually
omitted from statements of commerce.
but necessarily constituting an i'm
portant factor in the balance sheet Of
nations.
"The aggregate imports of the sew
,enty-five principal countries and col
'Onies of :he world in 1912-1913 were
valued at S20.S45. 100000 or S2,117 .000.-
900 more than their exports. In this
vast theatre of international trade the
United States plays an important role,
having bought 10 per cent of all the
goods which the leading nations ex
ported. and having sold l41s per cent
of the merchandise which they pur-
chased in the markets Of the world.
considering the commerce of the
United States from 1920 to 1918. it is
noted that the aggregate excess of ex-
ports over imports of merchandise in
the 124 years in question was SS,3l2.
100000, and the aggregate excess Of
exports of gold and silver over imports
thereof 81 sos, 100000. In the eighty
five years prior to 1875 imports usually
exceeded exports of merchandise. In
the forty years since 1874 exports have
almost invariably been larger than i'm
ports. In the movements of gold and
silver the balance of trade shifts more
frequently from one to the other side
of the ledger, and in the last decade
imports of specie have about equalled
exports

SUMMER TRADE DULL
Most Activity in the West
Raw Wool High.

Commercial agencies find trade best
IN the West, where the crop movement
is beginning to make itself felt. Mid
summer dulness is prevailing in many
lines, though raw wool in Boston is
reported active at high prices.
Commercial failures, while fewer
than in the week before, are more
than in 1918.
"Dun's Review" will say to-day:
"Irregularity still characterizes the
business situation. Favorable reports
predominant and general conditions af-
ford encouragement, although the
volume of new business is of moderate
proportions. Manufacturers of textiles
arc endeavoring to meet the slackened
demand by curtsiling the output, and
stocks of goods are said to be in a
well liquidated position.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 293, against $40 last
week, $50 the preceding week and 23S
the corresponding week last year"
"Bradstreet's" has the following:
"Midsummer dulness is present in
many but not all lines. and optimism
as to the future still finds most express
sion in the sections which have gath
cred expect to gather large crops.
The weeks business, though broken by
holiday, seems TO have been good
in the West and slow to dull in the
South and East. Drygoods and wear
ing apparel have led in Western trade,
but there is a change for the better
reported in the building material
trades in that section. Exceptions to
the quiet in the East are found in the
raw wool trade at Boston, which is
active at high prices, and in the cot
ton goods trade. where sales Of con-
vertible goods are reported enlarging
and where sales of wash fabrics by
iobbers are good"
