EARLY STRENGTH
 HAD ITS EFFECT

All Export Demand Was Slow and Bids From Abroad We're Some

By Auoelated Prss


 Chicago, August z6.-All grains were at- fected by the early strength in wheat to- cay, but the best prices were not main tained, a reaction carrying prices toward lower levels. At the finish wheat was unchanged to IF cents lower. with De- cember 2.33A to 2.S31k and March 22s Corn showed a net loss of Ac to 1asc and oats were off 1s to 1ac. Provisions. however. ruled strong at 12hc to soc ad- vance. Strength was shown early in the wheat market but the decline in other grains served to temper bullish senti- inent Weakness at Minneapolis also had some effect here. December showed firm undertone, but did not maintain it's advance, while March was under pres sure, there being buying of the former and selling of the latter, which caus .i material spread between the two de- Iiveries.
 Export demand was slow and bids from abroad somewhat lower.
 There was free selling of corn, but it was impossible to get higl prices for fu- lures. After weak start, the marx x .allied, but again weakened quickly and closed near the lowest level of the day.
 September which was tight at the opening, dropped sharply and the general sentiment became bearish. Country offer ings were somewhat larger, but the cat situation tended to prevent sales to ar rive. Crop news was given little atten- tion.
 Oats were firm early on short covering but weakened later with corn.
 Provisions showed a stronger tone on the strength in foreign exchange and an advance of 15>so 25c in hogs. Offerings, however. were limited, and shorts were eager buyers.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, August 26.-(SpeciaL)- When the Lincoln National bank passes into the control of the Irving National bank, the combined resources will be approximately $325,00UUOU. The con lrol Will probably pass within the next thirty days, although the opinion con tlnues until the first of November. This consolidation will make the single in- stitution one of the largest of Amer ican banks and no sentimental reason or any pride in large figures has led to this consolidation. Behind the brief statement of the resources of the two ins aitu lions and the aggregate re- sources when they are combined is significant tendency of the times. A few years ago banking combinations were somewhat rare. Today many are in progress or contempla tion, and Chiefly for the reason that financing propositions, enormous in magnitude, are to be considered in the near future. They will be of d kind which com paratively small bank could not share in. The need will be great for large resources, abundant capital and facili- ties for accepting the opportunities which are sure to arise.
 Some of these opportunities will come in the form of heavy financing proposed by foreign nations or the people of foreign nations to the United States. Some of them. especially rail- road needs, will entail the utilization of funds rising into the hundreds of millions. The natural resources of the United States, hitherto not sufficiently exploited, will need for their develop ment funds in large amounts, and there will be profitable opportunity for financing these propositions, as well as reasonable profit for those who en- ter the market for the sake of securing funds.
 There are one or two incidental fea- lures associated with this proposed oonsolidation which have occasioned considerable comment For it looks as though Lewis Pierson,, who Is presi dent of the Irving National bank, had with much strategy secured the con- trol of the Lincoln and in doing that has entailed for the Sillman interests which it has held for some twenty years.
 IN NEW HANDS
 The prestige and ability which are characteristic of the Stillmans, who control the National City bank, are soe great that it would have been thought impossible for any one to reach in and take over the Lincoln Ma tional bank, which for so many years the Stillmans have controlled. The late James Stillman bought the prac tical control of the Lincoln bank about twenty years ago. By so doing he brought that bank into family associa tion with the National City, and the common belief has been that this was a relation which could not be broken But it has been. Either the Stillman interests were willing, which is very doubtful, or else MT. Person, with a shrewdness which has characterized his management of the Irving bank. stepped in and secured enough of the stock or pledges for enough of the stock to give the Irving National bank control. When consolidation Is com pleted the probabilities are that the
