CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Proht-taklng by pro-

morning after fresh high levels for the sea-

to further bullish crop news from the North

aggerated.

BOND MARKET REMAINS DULL
Demand for Municipal and Territorial
Securities Continues

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-The dullness In
the bond market usual in midsummer which
characterized the month of July became
even more pronounced In the week just
ended. This development was coincident
with successive declines in rates for money.
Fixed date funds are now down a full
l per cent from the level OF the sporadic
furry of about month ago and prime COM
mercial paper Is now down to a maximum
half per cent below the level prevailing
about two weeks ago.
In view OF the generally appreciated fact
that the wealthy investing class Is now In
very slim attendance in the large cities of
tho country owing TO vacations the dullness
OF the bond market as a whole does not call
for comment.
The demand for high grade municipal
and territorial bonds which marked the
month OF July continues on the contemplated
change in the income tax incorporated in
the new revenue law.

At the end OF the first hour the market
for coffee futures was quiet and unchanged,
with little selling for foreign account due
probably TO a slightly easier feeling in the
Brazil markets, Trading on the exchange
has recently ruled so light that there has
not been much incentive TO attract outside
support and fluctuations have held within
a comparatively narrow range. There was
a fairly good demand for spot coffee, with
