ALLIED NATIONS CANCEL ORDERSFOR TWO MILLION
 BUSHELS OF US. WHEAT

Chicago, Aug. 13-Cancellation yesterday by representatives, of the allies of contracts aggregat ting nearly 1000, 900 bushels of wheat, bought for September shipment to Europe was puzzling the grain trade early today.
 Not only were cancellations report ed by Chicago concerns, but some seaboard exporters claimed to have closed out open contracts.
 Canadian exporters also reported some cancellations. James A. Pat ten, a former heavy trade operator, discussing the cancellations, said:
 If peace were in sight, Europe would still need wheat and she would have the credit to get it. The can ce11ation of orders, therefore, would seem to indicate one of two things. Either Europe has found a source of new supply which means Russia; or Europe finds that she cannot pay.''
 It was said that two of the largest firms which cancelled contracts were

CUT IN FREIGHT RATES TO MEAN
 CHEAPER COAL?

Washington. Aug. 13-Ultimate re- auctions in hard coal prices were seen by dealers who have kept in close touch with anthracite production in the interstate commerce commissions s decision making sweeping cuts in freight rates on the product. They eX- plained that the decision was expected to put independents on the same foot ing as companies controlled by the hard coal carrying roads.
 The decision affects freight rates on anthracite coal from the Pennsylva- mia coal fields. Generally lower rates called reasonable are prescribed and the roads are required to establish through routes and publish through rates to be paid by all shippers. The reductions ordered amount to IS cents a ton on shipments of the so-called prepared sizes such as stove, nut and egg coal, from the mines to tidewater, and 10 cents a ton on the smaller sizes of coal. These rates will now be $1.45 and S1.35 a ton. Cuts to in- terior points range all the way from 10 to 80 cents a ton.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR.
Bethlehem Steel Rose and Fell Within
Range of 80 Points.

New York, April 13.-Wi1d and &C
tive speculation in securities was re-
sumed today under lead of Bethlehem
Steel, which rose and fell within a
range of 80 points and closed with a
net gain of exactly one point. Its
high price of 1856 was recorded midway
Of the afternoon session. From that
figure it/grudgingly yielded ten points,
wider proportions, declining to 123 and
finishing at 125.
Ali branches of the stock list, which
had moved forward with Bethlehem
Steel earlier in the day were more or
less upset by the severe break, some
leading issues yielding more than their
gains and closing with net losses. But
for the ene0pItcabIe movement in
Bethlehem Steel, the average of clos
ing prices probably would have been
higher for the current movement in
asnuch as Union Pacific, the Hill
per and other potential issues were at
one tine well above their record lev
els of last Saturday. Copper held
more steady than any other division
of the list, their Improvement being
sustained by another advance in the
selling price of the refined metal. De-
velopments as a whole were distinc-
lively favorable to the constructive
side, including as they did peace ru-
mors from Washington and less Off
cial quarters, additional trade advices
of an encouraging character and an
other large engagement Of gold in the
Orient for transmission to these

Foreign exchange reflected sudden
changes in rates between this market
and Europe, marks falling to the low

velopment was ascrfbed to offerings

ton in the local stock market was a
matter of debate, but that center prob
ably was a seller on balance.
