WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. Aug. 4.-Dun's Review
tomorrow VIII say:
Actual and prospective regulation or
commodity prices has remained the
dominating factor in many industries
and in securities markets, and in
certain raw materials and manu-
factured products decisive readjust-
ment has resulted from other than OIL
ticial action.
In contrast to the former rapid ana
practically general upturn. more re-
cessions than advances now appear in
wholesale quotations and the pos
siblitics Of further downward re-
visions enter largely into calculations.
Where continued Yielding is fore
shadowed either because of accumula-
tions of supplies or for different rea-
sons. buyers are not disposed to
operate except at concessions by SELL
ers, and where there IS uncertainty as
to the changes to be effected, as in
steel and iron. new business is still
waiting.
Increasing caution in entering upon
forward engJEcments has become a
more conspicuous feature; yet the
abatement of the rush 10 contract
ahead at almost any figure has made
the situation more wholesome, and
il is an indication of confidence in
the future that comparatively few
cancellations OF orders are reported.
With the crops turning out better
than previously seemed likely, and
with farm staples bringing highly
remunerative prices, the purchasing
power in the agricultural regions
shows no diminution. and in the large
centrals it is well sustained by fun
employment Of labor at record wages.
The scarcity of skilled hands, and
the strikes at scattered points, still
act as a brake on manufacturing anu
the chief problem confronting most
producers, as it has been for some
time, is the difficulty of making de-
liveries with the desired promptness.

STOCKS MAKE GAINS
Oi7 IN N. Y. EXCHANGE
Covering by Short Interests Given
as Cause for Better Trend.
(By TN. IpternatioaaI News Sc,

(By the International News seryiee.)
New York, Aug. 24-The stock mar
ket today showed a sharp and de-
cisive reversal in trend and with the
forward movement which advanced
prices one TO three points in both the
industrial and railroad lists was a di-
rect reflection of overnight improve
ment in sentiment.
The prime cause was the announce
ment from Washington fixing the
price of anthracite coal
Although there is said to be some
quiet investment buying, it is probable
that the advance in securities prices
today was largely due to the absence
Of pressure and the covering OF shorts
by way Of adjusting accounts for the
weekend. The entire list moved for
ward from the outset, with here and
there an exception, but the volume OF
trade was much smaller than yester-
day.
In the afternoon the movement was
stayed, but lack of pressure by the
bear traders. prevented extensive re-
action. The steel and copper groups
gained one or two points and the oil
shares rallied from yesterdays weak
ness. The shipping, motor and to-
bacco shares were conservatively
strong. The munitions and equipment
issues were in good demand Such
specialties as Wilson and Company,
Pittsburgh Coal. Great Northern Ore,
and 50 on, made gains OF two to five
points. Reading with three point gain
led the rails and was followed closely
by Rock Island. Missouri Pacific, Eric,
New York Central and st. Paul.
In the late session prices receded
somewhat from the top, but changes
were not considerable, except in the
tobacco shares. Trading died down
to a mere drifting course.
Financial circles were interested in
the Endorsement by Secretary McAdoo
of the renewal of British issues here
by conversion into short term British
trea sury bills.

COTTON MARKETS.

New York, Aug. 2i-sharp declines were re-
corded in the cotton market TODAY, due TO
heavy selling from Wall street and the South
brought about by bearish spot advices from the
South. At one time prices were 81 TO % points
lower. and only a slight rally from this point
was made before the close. The weakness was
augmented by the fact that stop losses were
uncovered at the 23-ccnt level, and then again
at the Zls-cent level. and the demard in the
market was 20 small that the pressure could not
be taken care Of.
Tha market started fairly steady, with prices
on only II TO % points, due mainly to a sup

ed by the County Court in quarter
" session next Monday, will be the
election Of a sheriff to fill out the
unexpired term Of Sheriff j. F. Mar
