RENEWAL OF TRADING
IN FUTURES is FEATURE

CHICAGO, July 17-Renewal of
future delivery trading in wheat has
attracted the lions share of atten-
ton on exchange here this week. The
ease with which ordinary business
methods were resumed after nearly
three years interruption due to world
war enlargement was an outstand-
ing feature of the event. Compared
with first prices. wheat this morning
had fallen IL cents to 10 cents, while
as compared with week ago corn
showed - to rs decline, and oats
varied from 5A off to \. advance,
In provisions the difference for the
week was setback ranging from -
cents to s2.27

STOCKS YIELD MUCH
OF LAST WEEKS GAINS

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE stock
this week yielded much of the
ground gained in the preceding
period. reactions throughout the gem
eral list being attended by lapse
into the sluggishness which char
acterized June's operations.
Trading in bonds was relatively
larger and broader, however, firm
tone prevailing, especially in several
of the newly listed issues. such as
Swiss IS and Belgian 7Hs. in
ed to attract more than a little in
veStment demand.
According to authoritative reports
the backward industrial movement
shows signs of extending from the
textile and leather trades to other
important lines of manufacture,
notably automobiles and related spe-
cialties. Shares of many of these
companies were most susceptible to
pressure.
Credits continued tense. although
some loosening of funds was reported
in the commercial paper market and
at points where the crop movement
is rapidly getting under way. Locally
and at eastern centers generally lit
tie money was available for any but
essential purposes.
The trend of foreignN trade, as in
dictated by increased exports and re-
duced imports, probably contributed
to the further deadlock in foreign
exchange. A little more gold was
received from London, but news that
East India is in the market for the
metal necessitates revision Of esti-
mates dealing with additional ship
ments to this country.

MARKET is INFLUENCED
BY UNEXPECTED FACTORS
Money Stringency, Too Large Industrial
Inventories and Rail Congestion Give
Stock Market Unexpected Setback.

evitably the development of fresh
selling in the wooden, the leather. the
steel and the motor and tire shares
and these points of weakness finally
became too numerous for the market
to resist when coupled with the extra
strain of the Unexpectedly high money
rates. Even stocks of companies do
ing an excellent business and having
bright outlook were carried down
with the rest.
The bull movement in the railway
stocks founded upon the confidence
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will in the near future make
a very liberal award in the matter
of increased freight rates, likewise
cola psed.
This. briefly, is the analysis Of what
has happened during the last week
on the stock exchange. The market is
back in the poSoitiOn which it oc-
cupied a month ago. The strength of
this position is that SO. many issues
are selling low enough to recommend
themselves to investors who go by in
trinsic values and are not so much in
terested in fluctuations.
The Bond Market.
The Improvement in the bond mar
ket which started six weeks ago has
been maintained, although not in
creased amid the depressing sur
roundings of the week. 1t has been
established that there is an abundant
investment fund to absorb new CAPT.
tai offerings on 7H to- s per cent
basis and TO carry them to a respecta-
BILE premium. This is one favorable
aspect of the situation which distin-
guishes it from other occasions of
credit stringency.
The banks and bond houses are not
getting their shelves full of unstable
stuff like they were in 1903 and again
in 1907.
On the other hand. calculations re-
garding the amount of gold that
would be sent here from Europe dur
ing the summer have had to be re-
vised pretty sharply downward.
The story that Great Britain would
take over Frances share of the An
glo-French loan maturing in the au-
tumn has been denied in the banking
quarters that would be most apt to
know of any such transaction. 1t is
now believed that the French govern
ment will meet its obligations by an
offer of new securities put out on SIM
liar terms to those of the Belgian and
Swiss loans which have been recently
foated with such success.
With the American demand for gold
satisfied and with the accustomed
pressure of commercial bills to cover
European purchases of the new Amer
lean crops sterling exchange has lost
all the recovery which it had in June
and at the outset of July.

|OUTLOOK OF CROPS
IS AN AID TO TRADE
Price Issue, However, Still flinders
General Business, Re-
views Saw.

NEW YORK, July II 1SpeciaD.-
The weekly trade surveys note that
an improved crop outlook is affecting
business in constructive fashion. but
the price situation continues to retard
operations in many lines. The preva-
renee OF congestion on the railroads
still tends to check industrial ex-
pansion.
important as the element of rail-
road transportation is. however"
says Dun'S Review, "the price nues
ton remains the orershadowing fea-
ture and now has an increasingly
potent influence in shaping current
ana future business operations. With
the conviction growing stronger
among buyers that the main price
movement will be downward until
more normal levels are established.
hesitation in entering upon forward
commitments has become practically
general, and considerable machinery
is idle in textile mills and elsewhere
| because of lack of orders.
Not only are price declines this
week again in the majority. but open
lngs of new lines of some goods for
advance seasons have been announced
at appreciable reductions in quota
tons. thus demonstrating the changed
attitude of sellers, and predictions of
higher prices to follow in certain
many markets are now yielding
"Ref1ecting the price readjustme nts
and the shrinkage in volume of bust
ness, bank clearings at different
points now disclose a narrowing of
the margin of increase over last
years figures. while the recent rise in
the commercial mortality has been
such as to compel attention"
Midsummer Quiet.
/ Bradstreets review of trade condi-
tions says:
| Midsummer quiet rules in distribu-
tive trade, with wholesale and jobbing
lines showing least movement, but
I1h retail trade. helped by tempera-
!; .ufeS and so-called price reductions,
showing a little more life. Manufac-
turing circles are without much
change, car congestion or lack of
new buying acting as bars to activity.
Collections are rather slower, the
south noting growth in this latter
direction.
The tenor of crop reports is. if
anything. better than before. although
excess of rains in parts of the north
west are noted. In financial lines the
leading features are the continued
stringency of money, the raising OF
call rates, the apparent fiZZling out
of the short-lived mid-year boom in
the stock market, and the lowering OF

The five German surface warships
alIccated to the United States Failed
from Brest July 10 and are due to ar
rive at New York August 3.
The 22.000-ton dreadnaught Ost-
friesland is proceeding under her own
ROVER, but the armored cruiser
Frankfurt and three destroyers are
under tow by the transport Hancock
and three American mine sweepers.
These four ships are incapable of self
propulsion, the Fra nkfurts machin-
cry having been irreparably damaged.
while the destroyers were among the
German vessels submerged at Scapa
Flow.
1t is planned TO open the vessels for
inspection shortly after their arrival
at New York. After remaining there
two weeks, the destroyers will be
lowed to Norfolk and probably to
this city. Whether the vessels will
be sent to other ports for inspection
had not been determined. The Ost-
trieSland may be, as she is able to
proceed under her own power.
Naval officials said today that while
the vessels would be carefully exam
ined by experts. it was doubtful that
much important information would be
CLEANED. Under clause of the peace
treaty the German craft must be de-
stroyed within a year after their ar
rival in this country.

CORNCObS VALUABLE:
USE IN DYE MATERIAL

One OF the most interesting recent
discoveries made has been a new use
for corncobs- The cob has heretofore
been thought to serve no useful pur-
pose Nearly 5000 100000 bushels of
corn are produced in the United
states in a year and that means
nearly 20.000.000 tons of cobs. Chem
lists have discovered in the last few
months, however. that the entire con-
tent of the corncob can We converted
into highly useful products, and COM
riercial plants are now being equip
ped to convert them" says Secretary
OF Agriculture Meredith in a recent
interview.
las many as half a DOZEN products
will be derived from the cobs- One is
quality, said to be better for a num-
Der OF important uses than any adj
hesive previously known. Another is
cellulose, suitable for the manufac-
ture of dynamite and other things
Another is acetate of lime.
Perhaps the most important cob
product will be the very valuable fur
furaL This has been SO rare that it
has sold as high as $50 a pound. A
ton of corncobs WIZ yield about
thirty pounds of furfural and it can
be manufactured in this way today
for 20 cents a pound.
Used in Dyeine.
What is furfural used for the
Secretary was asked.
't'urfural is what chemists call a
basic Intermediary in dyes. That
means you can make about as many
kinds OF dye out of furfural as a good
cook can make things to eat out OF
-four. And the dye industry is a most
important one to the United States. as
has been shown by the war. Pre-
viously we got most of our dyes from
Germany
Il have seen a dozen different shades
of cloth dyed with furfural.
"Furfural is also highly useful in
the manufacture of paints and lac
quers and in the making of bakolite
used in pipe stems and other articles
it is also used as an insecticide and
was even used considerably for this
purpose when selling for $50 a
pound"
