Another Circus Coming
Here Week From Today

Already the faring posters of the Al
G. Barnes big Airing Wild Animal
Circus have announced the coming of
that favorite organization to Rich
mond on Friday, Aug -, and conse-
quently there is great rejoicing in
Juvenile circles, and among older per
sons as well, for. the lure of the circus
never diminishes with age.
Now comes Frank Cassidy, the
Barnes press agent, with new and al
Turing stories of the wonders which
have been added to the circus since its
last appearance in this city. According
to Mr.. Cassidy there is little of the
always popular program left this year
During the three months the show
spent in winter quarters at Culver
City, the entire staff of trainers was
busily engaged in rehearsing the
educated animals in new acts. This
means that there are many surprises
in store for circus-goers this season.

The charm and grace expected from

the trick. Best of their numbers was

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Sterling exchange rates, which have
been displaying pronounced strength
since the closing days Of December,
advanced in sensational fashion in this
market yesterday when London sight
drafts touched s3S4%, gain of 5A
day, thereby establishing new high
record on the current recovery.
The market in sterling was strong
all day long and closed at the top. Al
this level the London rate showed n
recovery of 51A cents from the low
point OF last autumn when the London
rate was depressed as result of

upon the spectacular recovery in

most important and significant develon-
rnent in the financial markets at the
'noment' express the opinion that all
ct the foreign exchanges are being
sfntimentally affected by the confer

IN Paris. at which several matters Of
great bearing upon the international
credit situation are being considered

and the Improvement in the exchanges
IN recent weeks is rejecting a belief
that definite steps toward settling this

Strength of Foreign Money
and Weakness of Grain
Markets Get Attention
as Stocks Lose Interest

A heightening of the dullness pre-
vailing in the stock market brourh.
the activity in the foreign exchange
and grain marts in bolder relief. In
the marketplace. for securities little
took place except the routine opera
tions OF professional traders which
serve to keep up the continuity of the
market during such lapses as the pres
ent, when public interest ebbs. After
another repetition Of the familiar rise
in the morning and decline late in the
trading day, the net changes Of indus
trial stocks were insignificant, and
rails tended slightly higher. Profit
taking helped to cause a hardly per-
ceptible reaction in the bond market.
Aconvergence of selling orders from
10th domestic and foreign houses
brought about a further tumblng of
wheat prices, which at the lowest point
of the day revealed loss of cents to
the bushel, after Tuesdays heavy
break. A moderate recovery later rs-
duced net recessions to from 3A cents
to cents busbel. The commodity
markets have been so subject to the
whims of Spectators and have moved
with such marked irregularity of late
that the rationale of day. day move
1nents is not always clear. Fear Of in
creased competition of Argentine wheat
seemed to be the principal cause of the
/ selling. In sympathy, corn prices
slumped to the lowest levels of the
season, losing y to "a cent bushel.

The further rise In sterling, whose
recovery gained fresh momentum was
of more fundamental interest The up
turn was rapid, and the closing quota
tion was the highest of the day. Rates
on Paris, Rome and Berlin moved some
what higher in response to the move
ment of sterling. The climb of marks
brought them to new high for the
movement.
Obviously the hrmness of the Euro
Pean exchanges, or, conversely, the
tendency to reduce the premium on the
dollar is related to the plans Of the
Supreme Economic Council in Paris.
which is now in session. If out of,
this conference a definite understand
ing in regard to reparations emerges
Europe will be relieved of one of its
principal causes of uncertainty. The
settlement of this problem would pave
the way for important financial and
trade operations.
Sterling is in the strongest position
and more sensitive therefore to fac
tors making for recovery. The rise
of sight drafts to s3.s434, gain of
5 u cents from the closing of the pre-
vious day, is associated with other
factors, too. The Offering of bills is

it necessary to bid for bills

German Financing

Public offering of German securities
for subscription by American inve stors
may he made before the end of the
current year, bankers say, provided
there is a definite determination of the
repa ration that Germany is to make
to France and the other Allies. 1t is
the hope of the bankers that this
question will be settled at an early
date, and in some quarters it is felt
that a step in this direction may be
made at the conference now being
held in Paris. German securities,
properly secured and bearing an at
tractive coupon rate, could probably be
absorbed by this market without diff
fculty, in. the opinion of bankers. THE
war is over" said a banker yesterday
in this connection, "and there is no
reason why German bonds with the
right set-up should not sell. Indeed,
they should find a ready sale with

Railroad Outlook Brighter

Although there is nothing in the
current trend of railroad earnings to
indicate early improvement, railroad
men yesterday expressed themselves
as being slightly more optimistic for
other reasons. These include the be-
lief that Congress will pass the Wins
low bill, permitting the Treasury De-
partment to make partial payments on
the amounts owed the carriers by the
government and the prospect that i'm

may result from the hearings before

watched with special interest as hav-
ing a. possible bearing on other ap-
pllcations of similar nature.

General Asphalt

The Street is still guessing about
the source Of the buying in General
Asphalt, which carried the price yes
terday up to 71s4, a new high for the
year. The action of the stock was
similar to what it was last week,
when, after selling as high as II, it met
heavy selling after the word had gone
forth from the floor of the exchange
that it was about to mount still higher.
This, in the opinion of several OBJ
servers, suggested that the pool which
is believed to be operating in the stock
was ready to take some of it's profits.
When the stock appeared strongest
yesterday brokers were told that it
would sell at 76 before the close, but
almost Immediately thereafter the gen
eral market turned weaker and Gen
eral Asphalt declined more than 3
points from its high price. The clos
ing at 50, however. was still 3as points
above Tuesdays last sale. Stories have
been circulated that the Rothschlds,
of London, were dickerng for the
company's Colombian properties, but
have been denied by representatives of
the British bankers

particularly where members of the
board are also directors of companies
from which the road purchases sup

Dealings in the old imperial govero-

admitted to list on the Stock Exchange

 Be good and you'll be happy, but you'll miss devil of lot of fun, is a saying one often hears But had you also thought that you would also avoid a devil of lot of trouble.
 They tell of 6 young man who wanted to marry but didn't know what to say to the girl, that he went to a married friend and asked him what he said before he married. II said yes" replied the married man.
 That young New York sport who paid S1700 for special train from Hot Springs to Texas to go see his girl, is regarded by most people as something of fool. But there are men in Prescott who have spent the same amount just as foolishly, but it took them longer to do it.
