MONOPOLY OF RAW MATERIALS Is A GREA
DUCER OF RAW PRICES.

New York Market
FINANCIAL.

New York, Aug. THE bear faction
contested attempts to continue yester-
days rally in the market Saturday. The
Weekly Trade Reviews, which told of the
economic readjustment in progress, in
fluenced some selling.
Indications that the speculative, posi-
tion of certain stocks was still vul.-
nerable was furnished by weakness Of
low priced oils and other shares which
have been recently under pressure.
A belief that the technical position had
been weakened by yesterdays short COW
ering and desire to tighten holdings
over the weekend assisted the decline.
Pressure was effective in the steels,
motor, paper, shipping, copper, equip
ment and sugar shares, but railroad
issues held up well. Sales approximated
250000 shares.
Little attention was paid ts the more
reassuring foreign news. SteTing ruled
lower but continental bills were mainly
higher.
The bank statement showed rectifi-
cation of recent unfavorable conditions.
Last weeks deficit In the reserves was
turned into q surplus of S15,171 900. The
extent to which brokers' borrowings had
been reduced by the liquidation of
stocks was shown by reduction In the
loan item OF $45, SIS 900.
Prices Of railroad and miscellaneous
bends were not appreciably changed and
Liberty issues continued their irregular
movement. Total sales (par vaiue) ap-
proximated $3 $50 900. United States old
government bonds were unchanged on
call on the week.

SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT
WHEN WHEAT MARKETED

Much improvement may be expected
in Montana conditions if the grain crop
can be quickly marketed, according to
the view of the Monthly Bulletin Of
the Great Falls National bank for Au-
gust, but it is pointed out that no re-
Eurn to normal conditions may be ex-
pected until the national situation has
cleared The following paragraph is
from the Bulletin:
General conditions in Montana have
been extremely quiet during the past
month, with little trading being done in
any line excepting by retail merchants
who have advertised cut-price sales.
Merchants, as a rule, are doing as lit
tie buying as possible, Bank deposits
pyer the state are at low ebb and mon
ey is noticeably tighter than at any
hme for several years past. If the
substantial grain crop can be marketed
quickly and at a reasonably good price,
conditions in Montana will brighten in
the fall and the strain now felt by all
business will be greatly relaxed. There
can be nothing like a return to normal
conditions until the national situation is
better. however"

Montana for this season, arriving at

Improvement in the tone of the stock
market was a favorable feature Of last
week in financial affairs. There was
no marked advance in share prices but
the total daily business was larger, and
a better inquiry for stocks, the latter
being influenced probably, by the
easier position Of the call money mar
ket. Rates softened toward the last OF
the week to 6 per cent with apparently
plenty of funds in sight.
With new wheat coming to market
steadily, the situation as to wheat
prices grows more important to Mon
tana with little more definite as to what
the farmers may expect than a week
ago. The top price in Great Falls ter
ritory on Saturday was $2l6 the
bushel.
Car Supply Problem
whether the car supply will be adequate
when the peak of the harvest movement
is reached AIillers and elevator men
believe if the grain can be kept moving
to the market that fair return to the
farmer can be hoped for. The increas-
ed freight rate, however, is going to
operate against the grower for it has
raised the rates substantially. The
present freight rate on wheat from
Great Falls to Minneapolis is 30 cents
the 100 pounds. Increasing that %
per cent, which is the raise provided in
the new rate, it would then be 45 cents
the 100 pounds.
u Cents Freight. |
There being 60 pounds III a bushel of
wheat, the freight on a bushel of wheat
under the new rate will be 27 cents
the bushel. compared to PIG cents now,
and no matter what the quotation. the
Montana farmer will lack five cents of
getting it because that amount will
have to be charged off to pay the ad-
ditional freight.
With the car supply n bit uncertain,
the price of wheat at the elevator be-
romes to some extent matter of con-
lecture yet and the elevator men are
how studying the subject ot how the
financing Of the wheat will be handled,
a report being expected by the deal
ers this week.

Chicago Market
cRarN AVN PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Aug. There was a dis
position in all the grain pits today TO
even up commitments for the week. The
risk Of carrying lines in either long or
short grain was deemed to be too great
in view Of the critical situation IN
Europe At the close wheat showed net
loss of 2a to 4c, with December S232fs
to 1888 and March $2.351a. Corn was
down u to 3ss cents, oats showed a
decline ranging from A to 1as cents while
provisions were unsettled, pork and lard
being up and ribs lower. =,
Rains led to general selling OF all
grains. there being sharp declines at the
start. Wheat broke sharply but later on
receiving good support rallied and prices
were carried above the low point of the
day. Increasing receipts as well as the
less threatening situation in European
politics were factors which made the
bull side unpopular. The market fluc-
tuated within fair range and there was
some buying of wheat futures credited
to northwestern account
Corn got away to a bad start but a
moderate recovery was noted during the
late trading.
Oats were weak because of liquidation
by commission concerns and local longs.
Provisions were unsettled, easing off
with grain but on the decline there was
buying of lard by a carrier which caused
a fair rally. At the finish pork was
up Is cents, lard showed gain ranging
from to 1914 cents, while there was
a net loss of 5 cents in ribs.

STOCK REVIEW.

New York, Aug. THE stock market
this week suffered from drastic lquida--
tion and bear selling which depressed
industrial shares three to % points, with
partical recoveries at the end. The rail-
road rate increases, big crops, easier call
money and the intention Of the railroads
to spend 10000, 600 for necessary I'M
weight in the face of hurried selling.
The gravity of the Polish situation
and the sensational weakness in sterling
exchange, which fell Is points with a
recovery Of about half the loss were in
strumental in driving down prices to the
years lowest mark.
Railroads were well sustained, the In
vestment inquiry for these stocks serv--
ing to intimidate the shorts in some of
the specialties which were reputed to
have been oversold.
Leaders IN the downward movement
comprised oils, steels, shippings, feathers
and paper issues.

FINANCIAL DIGEST
By THE TRIBUNE
THE WEEK IN BUSINESS

authorized for the purpose of erecting
public buildings, schools, construction Of
highways and other civic improve
ments.
In the last few years this situation has
been distinctly unfavorable, with the re-
suit that this country is far behind IN
its building operations; both public and
private. What is the situation today!
For an answer to this question We may
turn to the reports of the United States
geological survey which gives figures
covering building statistics for about
100 cities in all sections of the country.
We find that we are behind in building
operations to the extent of 1 1-3 times
a normal years building, this deficit hav-
ing accumulated as follows: 40 per cent
in 1917. So per cent in 1913, and p per
cent in 1919.
Material Supply Ample.
Our supply of basic raw materials is
ample to support the most ambitious
building program, but the high cost of
both labor and materials and the made
quacy Of transportation facilities pre-
vent the use of a large part of these
materials Thus is retarded seriously
the work of meeting the acute demand
for houses and other structures through
out the country.
A further study Of the figures above
referred to indicates that there was a
significant decline in building activity in
May Of last year and this development
seems to be principally due to transpor..
tation troubles, and the difficulties Of
financing new undertakings.
There is no general expectation that
by postponing new building for few
mbnths marked savings may be realized
through future decline in prices. Even
though the long desired definite recess
sion in prices develop there is much
ground for the belief that for some
time vet building costs will show at
best but slight decline apart from tenn
porary fluctuations.
Predict Further Advances.
It is believed by many that there will
still be further advances in building costs
generally. AS for the influence of credit
stringency upon building operations,
other lines of business enterprises are
also affected, most of Of which show no
such marked decline in activity as does
the building industry.
The future supply of municlpals IS
undoubtedly tied up with the conditions
above mentioned to an important extent.
Consequently any material change in the
building situation should be taken into
consideration as factor on the market
position of municipal bonds.

The issuance of municipal bonds is
closely related to the condition Of the
building trade. An unfavorable situa-
ton with respect to building material
prices, labor scarcity or transportation
facilities means the issuance Of fewer
bonds, whereas cheap materials, good
supply of labor and the ability to trans
port materials would result in the
prompt issuance Of all municipal bonds
