New York. Aug. 81.

New York. Aug. 81.
Nearly all the interest on the Curb
today was attached to trading in bonds,
with the Russian issues attracting most
attention. the 6Rs selling at 61 to 62
and the 5ks were traded in at 50 to 60.
AT the time of the announcement of the
Government issues by the revolutionary
Government the Y S sold as low as 35
Belief prevails that these issues will
be taken care of by our Government in
connection with the present steps to re-
store order in Russia. Federal Farm
Lands 5s were also active and strong,
advancing * to the new high of los.
There was increased activity in
trading. with pronounced strength
shown in Chevrolet, which sold at 140
to 141 during the forenoon, buying being
based on the belief that the distribution
and payment for the present shares in
General Motor stock is close at hand.
Some of the oil stocks also showed
strength, Pierce Oil advancing to 1875.
War stocks continued unchanged from
their established low trading levels.
Aetna Explosives selling at 12% and
Submarine Boat at 1914 and 1914.

UNDERTONE IS EASIER
ON COTTON EXCHANGE
Price Movements Less Erratic,
Selling Comes From Good
Sources

-NeW 1Orh, aug. q,
Price movements were less erratic on
the Cotton Exchange today, and during
the greater part of the session the un-
dertone was easier. The weekly weather
report was without apparent influence.
due to the fact that the daily advices
had prepared the trade for what was
to come.
Whenever the market showed n ten
dency to rally offerings increased. and
in this way the upward movement was
held in check. As a matter of fact a
number of important observers main
tained today the selling could be con-
sidered as coming from good sources.
The early advance of some II to 20
points attracted scattered realizing in
advance of the weekly crop report
This proved quite as bulish as expect
ed but had evidently been pretty well
discounted and after its publication Oc-
tober sold off to 31.9Sc and January to
3l.35c, or about points under last
nights closing figures and 20 to "a
points from the high level of the morn
ing.
Local spot brokers reported no change
in the situation. with domestic spinners
still holding off. but there was also an
absence of hedging from southern
sources, which rendered sellers cautious,
and the dip, after the publication of
the weekly report, was followed by
rallies on covering by shorts

HIGH PRICES REACHED
IN THE CORN MARKET
Business Extraordinarily
Large-Offerings Well Taken
Care Of-Oats Active
Chicago. Aug. II.


Business was extraordinarily large IN
the corn market today and prices touch
ed new high records. but the movements
did not reflect to any appreciable ex-
tent the big volume of business.
Whenever the prices showed ten
dency to advance sharply on outside
demand and possibly covering of shorts.
profit-taking developed on a large scale.
Offerings were we'll taken, however. and
the reactions at no time were impor-
tant.
The Governments weekly weather re-
port was about a standoff, with some
traders maintaining it was more bullish
than expected.
Price movements were rather narrow
in oats when comparison Is made with
other previous days. Trading was ac-
tive and commission houses had good
orders on both sides at different times.
Most of the supply. however, was profit
taking and the demand absorbed this
selling remarkably we'll.
August corn started at S1.65 and rose
to s1.651a. later dropping to s1.631a.
where it closed, compared to S1.6+h on
Tuesday. September opened at S1.65h
The high was $1.66A the low S1.63&
and the final S164ls q 1.64, a decline
of 1sc. October was quoted at $1.67
in the initial trading, and rose to
sl.678, later reacting to s1.65. The
final was s1.653s l.65la. against
s1.65s yesterday.
August oats opened at 72Esc. The
top was 73c and the bottom II sc. 1t
closed at 72C, a loss of 1sc. September
started at 1850, rose to 1880. and
then dropped to 727c, ending at 721a a
725sc, compared with 1870 on Tues
day. October was the highest in the
initial sale at 75Ac, falling to 73%
and closing at 74B @74Ac, loss OF
