Shipments of steel have increased
materially during the last few days,
but there is still large accumulation
at producing points.
Freer receipts of coke. though still
lar below normal, and bettered traffic
conditions have resulted in iron show
ing to better advantage in the last
week.
There is comparatively little demand
for lead. Consumers of copper are we'll

Wheat.--Tho trade is taking an &C.
tive interest in the agitation at Wash
lngton pointing to an increased price
tor wheat next season. Reports YES
terday said that member of the food
administration in arguing against an
advance had called the attention Of
farmers to the fact that while some of
the other grains are selling proportion
ately higher than wheat at present
they have no fixed minimum price such
as exists in wheat, and. moreover. there
IS possibility of some action which
might tend to lower the value Of these
grains.
Corn-A firm undertone prevailed
yesterday. Underlying conditions in
the market arc regarded as distinctly
strong, but much of the firmness was
borrowed from oats. In the West the
trade was rather inclined to take q
bearlsh view of the renewed EMBARGO
against shipments to the East. as it.
was expected to bring about some ac-
emulation at Western points. At the
same tlmc it is recognized that the mo-
lmcnt the embargo is lifted Eastern
buyers stand ready to absorb q large
amount of corn, and it is apparent that.
the distribution will be liberal for some
'.1e to come: Cash prices continue to
fold most of their premiums, and the
way the recent large receipts have been
disposed of shows that the needs of the
country arc great, without taking into
account the problem developed of an
active export demand.
Inc movement at interior points last
week was most encouraging. Receints
Tor h the six days amounted to II 1865 900
~. phusnels, which compared with 7,19S, 900
the previous week and 5,1S7,Oo0 for the
corresponding week year ago. It was
thought highly probable that the move
ment this week will again be large.

cording to an announcement made
yesterday by Charles ]. Columbus,

Practically every day we receive
an announcement from business

the Saturdays in July and August in
lieu of the later closing in the other
days Of the week." says Mr.. Co;um-
bus.
This arrangement seems to meet
with almost unanimous approval 1t
would give governmental employees
and others an extra hour for five
days of the week and would afford
store employees two whole days to
rest. The business houses that have
entered into this arrangement feel
that they are doing q double service.
First OF all, to the government chi
ployes in providing an additional hour
in which they can meet their needs
and secon1. in affording employees an
additional recreation period over that
of any previous year. In former
years the July and August hours have
heen from Sis 10 8, with n half day oiI

be 9:l5 until 6. with full day holiday

ing speciality houses. and all but three
of the jewelry stores have announced
their intention to close all day on
Saturday. providing the three who
