NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The New

day said:
The attitude OF this government to-
ward wheat distribution and price
control through the instrum
of Mr. Hoover and the commission
headed by President Garfield Of Will
liams college, occupied the thoughts
OF Wall street today quite to the ex-
clusion of most other things.
The natural sequel was a pronounc-
ed continuation Of the strictly pro-
fossional character OF the stock mar
ket and an utter absence of initiative
until late in the afternoon when short
covering caused rapid advance.

be delighted with the music Of the
