 PUBLIC INERTIA
Market Affected by Rus- sian Situation and Cues
 tiOn of War Taxes

New York, July 2S.-The cratic and conflicting reports that have appeared in the stock market in recent weeks were again manifest in today's circum- scribed market. Prices receded from last Saturdays slight advances for more or less specific reasons, although specula- tive issues yielded mainly from sheer inertia public interest being at lowest ebb
 The more favorable statements, with its strengthening of reserves and the easier money market as seen in the re- neVal of call loans at per cent were more than counterbalanced by fresh concern respecting the Russian situation and the time-worn question of war prof its and taxes.
 Steamship shares, which furnished far more than their usual quota of the day s moderate operations. were almost the only strong features of the first half of the session, rising an F to points on signs of settlement of the ship building controversy These gains were more than surrendered later as a result of Washington advices to the effect that the administration is to act with this countrys allies in effecting ma terial reduction of prevailing marine freight rates. Movements in other stocks, including the important industrials and war descriptions, were attended by all most steady attrition, gross declines ranging from to 4 points in rails, metals, motors and the more volatile specialties.
 United States Steel reacted from it's top price to 1231s to 121, closing at net loss of IA points, the Bethlehem Steels, new and old, fell 2s4 and points, re- spectively, and others of the same group an average of 2 points. Oils yielded l to 31s and sugars l to 2.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. July 23.-Further rams in Texas, where they were needed, oe- cured over Sunday so that now prac- tically the entire state has had rain. Through these constant showers, breaking the drouth, the weather con ditions have lead to slow liquida- tion by outsiders. who have bought cotton at high prices, but it is also so be noted that the cotton trade as 6 whole appears to be changing it's view of the situation by the breaking of this drouth.
 Questions of finance and transporta- tion are being brought to the front while some go so far as to suggest that possibly the government was tine largest buyer at the top of the market for yarns and cloth. Today the decline has been very slow and orderly, evil depces of continuous liquidation or hedge selling.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, July 23.-Corn prices ascended today to the highest point yet this sea- son. Distillers competed sharply with other industries for the limited offerings available. The market closed nervous at a net advance of 1sc to 1bc, with Sep tember at S1.632t and December. at si.l6A to $l.17 Wheat gained 334c to 4c; oats finished unchanged to 1ac lower and pro visions up 12c to FOG.
 The evident scantiness of reserve corn stocks appeared to simulate urgent de- mand for supplies for immediate use. At times influential houses dld considerable selling, especially whenever prices seemed to be perhaps on the verge of a radical advance. In all such cases. however, the absorbing power of the market quick ly restored an upward slant to quotations.
 Wheat rose in accord with the improved outlook for the establishment of a gov ernment minimum price of S2 a bushel at primary centers. Bullish crop reports from North Dakota and Canada likewise re- ceived attention, and so, too, did advices that miilers were free buyers at St. Louis. Besides it was said the winter harvest in the central portion of the belt had been delayed by wet weather
 Unwelcome rains and many reports of oats having been blown down made. the oats market strong the greater part of the day.
 Provisions jumped on account of ad- vances in corn and hogs Shorts covered freely especially in pork, which scared to the topmost figures ever known, $41 30 barrel for delivery this month.

SHANGHAIER SHANGHAIED


 The story goes that Big Roger was entertaining a huge Swedish farmer from the San Joaquin valley who de- clined to be overcome by liquid refresh ment.
 When the time came for the usual Knocking out ceremonies the Swede was still in possession of all his faculties, and he had a great many. So Big Roger suggested that they ''go out to the ship where they could get some real beverages. q
 The guest was nothing loath, but as soon as he was on board Big Roger pinned his arms, shouting to some man aloft Send down the rope; I've got a good one"
 When the rope appeared the able Swede wrenched himself loose, fastened the line securely about his host, and shouted "Heave -ho! or words to that effect, and up went bad Big Roger! The gentleman who hoisted him, having been roughly treated by Roger in the past, saw chance to wipe out old scores, so that was the end of the King of the Crimps.
 I thought this story as good one as any to reflect upon while slipping my punch at the exchange. There are other picturesque eateries and drinkeries, but they are not lying about in plain sight. They have to be dug out from alleys and the queer, characteristic streets of San Francisco which turn up suddenly at one end or at both, as if they were pasteboard and had been bent up squarely to keep out the draught or something. ARTISTS AT LAMLIGHTERS These astonishing hill streets afford lovely little residence spots, some (take Russian Hill, for instance) where you can rent a four-room bungalow for S2u month with dear cutie garden, view of the bay and golden sunsets to make an artist water at the mouth. The Bologna, nicknamed "Bejin's," is one of San Franciscos color places where real Bohemians hang out, paint ing pictures on the walls when dinner money is scarce or getting a job as city lamplighter if there's no wall space left. l wondered at the number of intellectual looking lamplighters saw in the streets until 1t was explained to me that it is q favorite job for artistic hard-ups. Bodinis barn is another haunt o1 those who are eager to boheme. I un- derstand there are haymows and set ting hens and walters in cowboy garh who hold you up for your order at the point of d gun And there is the White House Tavern, a basement entered through a-ceiling where the meal costs 35 cents and you have to reserve your place in advance or you'I be crowded out by bankers and judges and midi nettes.

 BANK EXCHANGE FOR DRINKS
 The Barbary Coast did not seem to me a pallid imitation of the Bowery as has been said. 1t is the Bowery of 1S80 plus a certain vague foreign flavor like a Honolulu cocktail.
 Speaking of cocktails brings me to the the reason I included the Bank Ex- change among the colorful spots of San Francisco. This institution is not a financial mart but an ancient drinkery. IL escaped footing during the days of martial law after the fire, SD the story goes. because the militia mistuok it for government property. 1t sounded like it, anu it looks like t.
 Cfti few months ago women were admitted to the ba- of he Bank Ex change as feely as men were Sn@e the reform. wave the femI line patrons take til, ec steps to the left, where thy inn bibe their "pisco punches" in a small alcove with chairs but no tables. The pisco punch is a drink of mysterious in gradients and uplifting qualities, very gentle tasting, with tang of lime juice.
 When you sit in the Bank Exchange you are ill the heart of a region of rich ly romantic memory. Ancient ships mol der in the ground beneath you. For there weren't any wharves in the old, bold days. Whenever they wanted a wharf they'd just sink some storm bat tered trader, lay beams on top and load from that.

STRIKE OF JANIToRs m LOOP
OFFICE BUILDINGS SPREADS

The loop JanitOrs' strike was start
ed last night when the janitors and
their assistants in the Conway, PeO-
pies Life, Ashland Block and Insur-
ance Exchange quit.
According to union officials, the
managers of these buildings refused
to listen to their appeals for a raise
of $40 month for janitOrs.
Most Of the scrubwomen in build
ings also went out in sympathy with
the janitors. Their wages are too
small, they claim. Hundreds Of
offices were unscrubbed this morn
ing.
JanitOrs and scrubwOmen of the
Continental and Commercial Nation
al Bank building joined the strike to-
day. Here 1876 janitors and so scrub
women are affected, the largest num-
Der employed in any Office building
in Chicago.
1t is expected that by tomorrow
the strike will affect every building
that has not signed up with the
union.
