WASHINGTON, July 31.--Biame for exorbitant coal prices was placed on spectators in a statement today by the National Coal assocition.

Reconsign- ment of cars flor which the railroads are responsible" it continued, permit ted exchange of coal in transit, some times resulting in q "higher price to be tackled on two or three times.''

Corn was down 2Z to 6sk cents with September SEAS to s1.34ss and December $1.20s to $1-20S. Oats suffered a slump from "A to s2 cents, while provisions also were lower
 Cutting of prices occupied most of the time of the traders in the wheat pit There was lack of support, while the selling was general. Prices were the lowest since the government control went into effect. Farmers were report ed to be marketing their grain as fast as they can, while exporters were said to be watching for prices to become more stable

BlSPHAM AND KlNDlER
GIVE JOINT RECITAL
Many Attend Second Of Monday
Morning MusicaIes at Bellevue

A large and enthusiastic gathering of
musically and socially prominent Phila-
delphians heard David BiSpham sing
and Hans Kinder play in joint recital
in the ballroom of the Bellevue STRAIT
ford this morning. The occasion was
the second of the Monday Morning Mt
SiCaleS.
The program was divided into five
groups. Each of the SO'Oists furnished
two of these and the other group was
given by both. This last was a genuine
treat not only to those who knew a great
deal about music, but to those who
came merely because they loved it. '1n
Days Gone BY" poem of Tourgenieff
set to the music of Arensky. was the
number in the gror. that met with great
favor. Most of it was spoken. but the
exquisitely beautiful quality of Mr..
Bispham's speaking voice made of the
number something that was a song even
when it was spoken. The violin cello
obigato by Kinder Blended in with the
number in particularly appealing
fashion.
Kipdler himself in his solo numbers
won great favor with the audience with
his group of folk songs, one from the
Russian, another from the Swedish and
a NeapOlitan number. In his second
group the Cradle Song from Schubert.
the lovely strains of it sometimes soft
as a sigh. left those who listened wish :
ing and wishing that the artist would
play it again.
Of Mr.. BiSphnm's sole presentations
"Edward. highly human and dra-
matte Scotch ballad, met with a great
amount of applause. In his other sole
group "Sandalphin, the poem of
LOngfpllOw set to music by Harvey
Worthington Loomis. was the favorite.
This was entirely rccited. but too much
praise cannot be given to Mr.. Bispham
for the sheer beauty of his so simply
spoken words.
Mary Miller Mount accompanied Mr..
Bispham and Mr.. Kinder.
