which was very full of fruit, bent its

Madam Pig. YOU seem 10 enjoy

New York. July 20.--The greater

days proceedings either worthy OF

was the same curious and conflicting
mixture without any real net results.
The turnover was about on the same
small scale as il was the two preceding
days, although the volume of dealings
during. the first hour were little in ex-
cess of yesterday and Monday. 1t was
OBVIOUS. however, that much of the
Improvement registered in that period
was due to short covering, and II was
az the same time again strongly en-
phasized. otherwise the buying demand
was of dimunitive proportions.

BONDS
Commodity Markets
GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, July 20.-Wheat started Mc
to 34c higher for September and un-
changed to 1ac higher for December.
Early prices were bit firmer on scat
tered buying with Northwest and wire
houses on the selling side. Wheat re-
ceipts inspected yesterday were III
cars; last year thirty five cnrs. The
cash market was about steady, rela-
lively, with red and choice hard a shade
easier. The seaboard reported half
million bushels worked abroad and
Japan was said to have taken million
bushels at the Gulf.
Weather reports show lower temper
atures, but little precipitation in the
West and Northwest.
Deliveries are expected to be made in
cars on track today and the big aggre-
gate hedging sales, due to the large
movement, coupled with the fairly bull
ish world situation. are expected to re-
suit in a nervous market. Deliveries of
July contracts this morning were 80 900
bushels.
Corn started sc to 3sc lower for
September and %c to Ac lower for
December. Commission houses were
selling at the start with cash interests
buying especially December. Trade was
moderate.
Oats started 1sc to Nc higher for
September and &c higher for Decem-
Der. Trade was light with commission
houses on both sides Of the market.

L. G.. |. YIELDED ON
MODERATE SELLING
Yelled Assurances Of the Main
tenance of the Pennsy
Dividend

Moderate selling of L. G.. l.. which
dipped to "a. and the firmness of Penn
sylvania Railroad were about the only
real features of the dull midsummer
trading in the local market. There was
fairly good demand for the Philadelphia
Electric shares, otherwise the dealings
were absolutely fPatureless.
The seeming antagonistic attitude as
sumed by Mayor Moore at the gas hear
ing yesterday accounted for the heav-
mess Of L. G.. |. 1t took the financial
community rather by surprise. although
the Mayor did not in any way commit
himself as to his decision on the Coun-
cilmanic ordinance which would give the
company immediate relief. Apprchcn-
sion was tempered to some c:t-nt by
the rather poor showing made by the
opponents to the ordinance at the sec
ond meeting today.
In the meantime the majority senSibly
determined TO stand on the sidelnes
until the Mayor announced his final
decision. 1t was suggested in the event
of a veto that a conference be called by
the company, members of City Council
and the Gas Commission, so that some
measure more acceptable to the Mayor
be arranged for relieving the company.
The frmness of Pennsylvania Rail
road could be traced to carefully veilcd
assurances given by interests close to
the management that the present I per
cent dividend rate would be maintained
and there was little danger Of tho di-
rcctOrs deferring action next Wednes-
day as had been hinted.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, July 20.-The local coffee
futures market opened at Il net decline
of To S points this morning on dis
appointing early cables from Brazil.
Trade houses and scattered interests had
contracts to SELL while n prominent
local importer absorbed some Of the
September offerings, attributed as being
against sales of actual coffee. This in :
terest, however, was good buyer of
ney crop months.
At midday the market was dull, few
orders being in evidence on either side
and prices being virtually at initial
levels. Rio reported II clearance to
Europe of 2S.000 bags, reducing the
stock at Rio to 1,270,0 900 bags. Pri =
vat" cables from Santos say market
cannot decline. owing to Government
support and exchange on London Is ex :
pcctcd to advance"
At the same time holders of coffee
there appear to be little anxious over
their position in connection with the
later months, and have been inclined
to reduce firm offers slightly. trying to
feel out the market. Receipts are
heavy and stocks large.

COTTON MARKET

New York. July 2O.-An easier open :
ing occurred in the cotton market this
morning, with first prices to 10
points lower, due to Wall street and
local selling, and poor cables. Probably
much of the New Orleans and Eastern
Belt buying that took place on the
opening call was due to showery weather
in the belt
After the opening the market was
steady, with prices about or points
under last nights close.
There were fourteen notices in cir
culation this morning. Liverpool re-
ported sales OF 800 bales for export and
was seller of October here. The trade
was fair buyer.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 1900 bales. against
II $50 bales week ago, 5513 bales n
year ago and 27,170 bales two years
ago.
