Trading on the stock exchange was

steady, but the attraction to sell van

business was reduced to few trans

TREASURY IS TO HELP
FINANCE COTTON CROP
Mr.. McAdoo Announces Plan to De-
post $15,0 ZOO, 900 in Three
Southern Banks.

The federal reserve board and Secre-
tary McAdoo have Joined in a program
to aid in handling the cotton crop of
the south in order that the difficulties
Of last year be not again experienced.
The board issued new regulations
authorizing federal reserve banks to
give special rediscount rates on promis-
sorry notes secured by warehouse re-
ceipts for staple agricultural products,
with the restriction that member banks
which avail themselves Of this rate
must not charge more than 8 per cent
to the borrower.
Gold for Southern Banks.
Mr.. McAdoo announced he would soon
deposit 100000 in gold in each of the
federal reserve banks at Richmond.
Atlanta and Dallas. In a statement the
Secretary said that If conditions show
ed the need of deposits elsewhere to aid
in handling any other crop he would
extend similar government aid.
The new regulations are broad enough
to apply to all staple readily marketable
crops, but 1t is the cotton crop which
has given concern Of late. The board
announced that the reserve banks in
Atlanta and Dallas already had requested
a rediscount rate OF 3 per cent on the
sort Of paper approved in the regulations.
Sum Is Relatively Small.
The announcements followed meetings
that have occupied the time Of the board
and Mr.. McAdoo most Of the last two
days. Although when the Secretary
originally proposed deposits of govern
ment funds in southern reserve banks
alone, many months ago. the plan was not
favored by several members of the
board, 1t was not opposed during the
recent discussions.
Some members indicated. however, that
as the total cotton crop probably would
be worth about $500, 000, 900. they did not
think $15.oo0.ooo would go far toward
handling it.

SERBIA ACCEPTS
ALLIES DEMANDS
Athens, So Reports, But De-
cIares Contact With Greek
Frontier Is Desired.
NISH SAYS FINAL DRAFT
OF REPLY IS NOW READY
Rumanian Action Prevents Further
Shipment by Germany Of
Money to Turkey.

LONDON, September 4-The English
public has again turned its attention to
the diplomatic situation in the near
east
1t Is announced officially at Nish that
the final draft Of serbia's answer to the
note of the quadruple entente Is ready
and will be presented shortly. 1t is
presumed here that the reply on the
whole will be favorable in regard to
concessions to Bulgaria, although little
hope Is entertained that Serbia will
grant her late enemy all the territory
demanded in Macedonia.
Wants Contact With Greece.
However. Athens announces that
entente proposals for territorial con-
cessions to Bulgaria. with the reser-
walton that the new Serbian frontier
remain in contact with Greece in some
part.
Advices from Sofia indicate that I'M
less the whole of Macedonia Is con-
coded there is little chance of re-es-
tablishment of the Balkan league. 1t
is pointed out in official circles at the
Bulgarian capital that compliance with
the program of the entente allies means
actual participation in the war, while
agreement to the request of the central
powers implies merely friendly neutral
ity, expressed in permitting the ship
ment through Bulgaria of arms and
other war supplies for the Turks.
Hats Transit Of Gold.
THE Russian government has stopped
further export of cereals and the
transit of gold through Rumania, the
effect of the decision being that Ger
many will be unable to send more
money to Turkey" says the Bucharest
correspondent of the Times. The gov
eminent will advance so per cent of the
value of the crops to producers in Or
der to avoid a crisis"

HEAVY RUSH OF SELLING
SENDS GRAIN DOWNWARD
Favorable Weather Reports and De-
sire to Unload Affects the
Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, September 4.-Large cash
acceptances overnight and desire of
longs to unload before the double holi-
day-Sunday and Labor day Monday
caused a general rush of selling that
sent wheat of from y to III at the
start today. with September at 94h to
e5; December, 911a91A, and May. s5A
to 90. The greatest selling pressure
was in September. The market was
poorly supported all around. An easy
Liverpool market, unchanged to 2
pence lower, also operated to ease
prices here, as did the favorable wealth
er situation in the domestic wheat belt.
Drives Corn Down.
Favorable weather sent corn down
under heavy selling, opening prices
being unchanged to y lower, with
September at TN to 71B, and De-
cember at SIX to IS. Liquidation by
commission houses continued and
prices eased off little further. Local
traders pressed the bear sentiment.
oats followed other grain downward.
but offerings were readily absorbed on
resting orders
Advance in Provisions.
Buying of October ribs by large deal
ers served in the main to advance pro-
visions. September and October pork
were particularly active, and at the
opening were 10 cents higher. partly
on the f1rmer tone of hogs. Ribs were
firm and steady to 5 cents higher, and
lard was up 2k to 5 cents under good
demand. December pork. which opened
b cents lower on light demand, was the
only item in the provision list to show
decline at the start.
There will be no session Of the board
Monday: Labor day holiday will be
observed.
Market Closes Steady.
Under continued selling pressure the
wheat market declined further all
around. There were slight rallies just
before the close and the market closed

September at "a. December s0%a9ON

Unprecedented Decline in Foreign
Exchange and Subsequent Recov-
cry Feature of the Week.

NEW YORK, September 4.-The light
est trading Of the week attended today's
operations with few changes Of import
ance. Leading railways were completely
neglected, there being no quotations for
Union Pacific or Reading during the first
fifteen minutes War shares moved slug
gishly with one point gains each for

at SO and Goodrich at 50, with decline
of as much for Lackawanna Steel at 6s7t.

Colorado Fuel rose minor fractions. with
similar declines for Pressed Steel Car and
American Can. London's market for
Americans was extremely dull, with
Union Pacific off Ia at 1913.
Foreign Exchange Market Feature.
The event of the week, because OF
it's general bearing upon the financial
situation, was the unprecedented de-

Comment on Business Situation.
There still remains a difference of

actual state of business throughout the

likely to become more pronounced as
CROPS enter the harvest season.
Railroads continue to submit more
satisfactory statements of earnings:
though again largely at the expense OF
economies. Some Of the smaller trans
nortation lines also show better re-
turns. Postponement for sixty days OF
the decree of the commerce commission
ordering the anthracite roads to reduce
carving rates impaired some strength
to the coalers and allied shares.
