MORE BRITISH GOLD
SOON TO BE IMPORTED
Private Advices From London Init
mate That Heavy Shipments
Will Be Made.

NEW YORK, August 12.-Private ad-
vices from London intimate that the
recent shipment of $20.000.000 gold to
this country via Halifax soon is to be
supplemented by heavy imports direct
from South Africa and Australia.
The Bank of England had a gold re-
serve of about e20.000.000 at Cape
Town, and from three to four million
pounds of gold to its credit in New
Zealand. These reserves. it is under
stood, have been drawn upon to meet
obligations in this country, and ship
ments of the gold are said to be in
transit.
J. P. Morgan & Co. today professed
ignorance regarding these imports, but
would not deny that yesterdays trans
fer from Halifax soon might be in
creased from other sources.

FREE SELLING OF WHEAT
STAYS EARLY ADVANCES
Decided Setback Follows Rise on
Bullish Cables and Unsettled
Weather Reports.

CHICAGO, August 12-Unsettled
weather and bullish cables led to
fresh advances today in the wheat mar
ket here. Rather free selling. however,
in which one of the largest houses on
change took conspicuous part,
brought about decided setback. The
bears made much of the excellent
progress of the harvest in the north
west.
After opening y off to IA up. prices
reacted to well below last nights level
all around.
Corn Sways With Wheat.
Corn swayed with wheat. There ap-
peared to be numerous resting orders
to sell on any bulge. Opening prices
which varied from the same as last
night to y higher. were followed by
moderate general downtown.
Oats showed more ffrmness than
other grain. Wet weather furnished
the incentive.
Packers selling weakened provisions
Higher prices for hogs were ignored
Buying was only of a scattered char
acter.
Subsequently the market turned
strong, with pork leading. The reason
was covering by leading short.
Reports of wheat buying on the part
of mills and exporters, especially at
Kansas City, tended afterward to cause
renewed strength. Cable advices en-
phasized the dependence of Europe on
supplies from the United States. The
close was unsettled. with September
s111k and December 1.09A. and the
market as whole x off to 70 up
compared with last night.
Later the corn market was steadied
by the lightness of country offerings
and by the cool weather. Closing prices
were al Is to y net decline.

|RRECULAR|TY| NOTED
IN THE MARKET TODAY
Obscure Stocks Are Taken Up and
Occupy Most of the Early
Trading.
Rails Are Reactionary at First, But
More Normal Conditions Pre-
vail Later.

NEW YORK, August 12-Some r-
regularity was noted at the outset of
today's trading, in contrast to recent
buoyant openings.
A few of the war specialties regis
tered declines, but these were offset
by further activity in Allis-Cha liners
common and preferred.
Allis-Chalmers common was offered
in an initial lot of $500 shares at 40
to 401z. adding almost points to yes
terday's gain of IN, and the preferred
soon gained 4 points, both selling at
high records.
Bethlehem Steel preferred jumped 9
points to $50, also a new high price for
that stock
Allis-Chalmers Rumors.
The movement in Allis-Chalmers
issues was based on rumors that Beth
lehem Steel interests had acquired con-
troll of that property.
Changes otherwise were mainly frac-
tional
Such hitherto obscure stocks as Rum
ley common and preferred and National
Enameling were taken up later. and,
with others equally inconspicuous, COM
ing at advances of 3 to points
Bethlehem Steel common almost kept
pace with the preferred, gaining 6
points, and Baldwin Locomotive made
similar improvement.
Equipments and Industrials Advance
