STOCKS MOVE SLOWLY,
PRICES SHADE Better

NEW YORK, August 29-The general
list showed fairly good tone at the
opening and some fractional advances
were scored, but soon after the opening
the trend turned the other way and frac-
tional recessions were the order of the
day for the better part of the first ninety
minutes of the session.
Then the market changed front again
and -recoveries, until the end of the noon
hour, were very general practically
marking the return to the best prices Of
the morning.
The advance was probably caused by
an attempt on the part Of some OF the
shorts to cover contracts at the profits
offered, for the street was without news
of importance and the gloom of taxation
and price-fi fixing was as much smoke
screen as ever, so far as new operations
were concerned.

!. Will Be Above So.

The wheat fair price committee was
still in session at noon today seeking
to reach an agreement on the price
for the 1917 crop. There was no In
dication when the price was to be an
nounced.

a late hour without reaching any
agreement.
1t is generally predicted that the price
will be above S2-someWhere between
s2.10 and $3.50. Members who came
here prepared to make fight for a
price of less than 50 have been con-
WINGED that a So price is the minimum
that could be made. and some members
of the committee favor much higher
price than that.
The basic price fixed will be for No.

Prices for other grades and classes will
be left to the food administration,

Three-Fourths Vote to Set Price.

It has been decided to require three
fourths vote to set price, and indica-
tions are that it will take a number OF
votes to decide on a figure. Representa-
tives of grain-producing interests on
the committee have contended for
high price because of the short crop,
arguing that since Congress has fixed
an arbitrary price of 81 for next year $
yield. with every prospect of increased
acreage, this years crop is worth a
much higher figure.
The duties of the committee. it has
been understood. will end with the
fixing of a wheat price. but it is now
suggested that the committee may be
asked to recommend to the food admin
istration fair prices for other commod-
tiles on which producers and the food
administration cannot agree.
The price fixing committee, headed
by Dr. H A. Garfield. president of
Williams College. has twelve members.
representing both producers and pub
lie. 1t has held daily sessions for more
than a week and has received sugges-
tions from many quarters.
