Railroad Situation Has Dampen.:
 ing Effect on Quotations

Wall Street. Stocks were under pressure at the outset of roday's dealings as a result of threatened railway strike. Leading rails were most affected, Reading and Union Pa cific losing a paint or more, with frac- issues. United States Steel and associated industrials yielded substan- itals fractions. and metals, Central Leather and the prominent specialties were heavy. Supporting orders soon materially reduced the larger losses of the opening.
 The rebound of the first half hour gave way to another selling move ment in which important stocks. in- cluding rails, fell to lower levels. Traders were active in the decline. using such leaders as steel, coppers and shippings to depress values else where. New York Central. Reading, Lehigh Valley and Union Pacific showed greater heaviness with minor rails. Shippings and oils also re- acted with equipments. Dealings slackened on the second setback which induced some short coming. 5sz ny AA1u.uhy SC0cA, H4I1nSSs OIdu Copper and Central Leather had made full recovery with one point gains in Industrial Alcohol, General Motors and Cuba Cane Sugar. oBnds were irregular.
 Further gradual recoveries were made in apathetic trading of the ear- ly afternoon. Shippings, American Sugar and International Paper were the strongest of the issues Rails also hardened with steel, and metal group.
 Ciose-Eariy losses were almost en- tirely effaced in the additional recov- cries of the final hour. The closing was firm.
 Sales were estimated at 500,000 shares.

The need for something to fill the
soldiers time after their days -rou-
tine has been met by national move
ment and soldiers camp in the
United States and perhaps even for
the American troops In France.
The idea originated with the Com
mission on Training Camp Activi-
ties, appointed by President Wilson.
His Commission has found that
even with the rigorous pace which
the men in training are put through,
they have some time which hangs
heavily on their hands. To meet this
condition, Raymond B. Fosdick,
chairman of the commission on train
ing camp activities, suggested that
central libraries be established for
the soldiers camps and environments.
The Secretary Of War, whose ad-
vice was asked, responded by ap-
pointing ten nationally known men
and women to constitute g Library
War Council to assist in providing

every cent of the $1,000, 900 win be

On The Boards

A few devotees Of the audible stage
enjoyed a sex drama Monday night al
the Murray.
That the audience could enjoy any
sort OF play with the thermometer
at so or so was splendid comment on
the ability OF the players.
There should have been larger
audience. Harry North, who Is an
actor of rare finish. has gathered a
talented group of players under the
name of the Murray Theatre Players
He Is a skilful producer and so far
Manager Murray has provided him
with sterling vehicles.
The piece this week, Common
Clay" Is a recent Broadway success
II Is above the average OF stock re.
leases, to borrow a phrase from the
Pickering stage.
1t has stirring emotional qualities
and several big" scenes. Only care
full work in some Of the major situa
tons saves II from the ruck of sex
dramas. however. It's philosophy Is
weak-however. that has been attack
ed by ADLER critics when 1t was making
a record run with Jane Cowl In the
lead in New York
But, 1t Is absorbing. and as it was
presented in its Richmond premiere ii
has merit far and away beyond the
average stock company.
One defect was noticeable in the
first performance and that probably
was due to the effect of rowe Of empty
seats.
There was difficulty in hearing some
Of the players This particularly was
true of Helene Reid. who played Mrs,
Fullerton. and Joseph Stanhope, who
played Richard Fullerton, father of
the hero.
Stanhope was better last week in
his part OF the brewers son in Hit
the-Trail Holiday"
Jack Boyle was satisfactory in his
part of Hugh Fullerton. the gilded
youth who refuses to wed the heroine
after he has betrayed her. He was a
trifle old for the college lad part in
the first act.
Patty Mckinley was surprisingly
good In the female lead Her perform
ance Monday night indicates she does
emotional parts better than the in
genues.
Harry North ia a pleasing actor. He
knows how to act and he doesn't strain
situations. He portrayed Judge Filson.
The story Of the play is too compli.
Gated for immersion in this review.
The theater is cool.

VEGETABLE AND
FRUIT MARKETS
RECEIPTS SMALL
Unusual Demand for Green
Goods Helps to Keep the
Price Up.

Fruits and vegetables are scarce
this week and there is an unusual
demand for vegetables and fruits.
This is occasioned by the fact that
meat is very expensive. and also that
many persons are on vegetable diet
in the summer.
Cabbage and beans are plentiful.
Cabbage can now be bought for 2
10 4 cents a pound. This compares
very favorably with the fifteen cents
n pound paid last winter. Green beans
are retailing at Ave cents pound.
Fresh asparagus. egg plant, and eau
liflower from Michigan have been re-
ceived. The supply is limited but the
vegetables are of excellent quality.
Home grown corn from Ohio is on the
market, selling for thirty-five cents a
dozen.
Farmers Are Pleased.
Home grown potatoes are now on
the market They have not been re-
ceived in large enough quantities to
affect the price. They are selling for
three to four cents a pound. Farmers
are we'll pleased with the crop and are
digging more all the time. The pota-
toes are OF excellent quality, and good
S,ze.
With the exception Of blackberries,
the berry market is about ended. Home
grown blackberries will be in the
rs~-ket next week. The crop looks
good and big supply is expected.
Home grown apples are coming in
market. They are inferior in quality
and the supply is limited. Peaches
from southern Georgia are excellent,
Tut the supply is limited. Georgia fruit
growers report only half crop of
peaches. The supply from Georgia
will son be exhausted, but the Ten
nessee crop will follow it.
