 NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Selling of stocks was resumed today and for a tune the decline made further head way. The movement was checked, however, before it attained wide pro- portions and in the late dealings the market stiffened, with the closing steady. Sales were 430,000 shares.
 As has been the case recently, pressure was directed against the in- dustrials, and the standard rails were comparatively steady. In the early decline Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, Royal Dutch, Sears Roebuck and various other shares were marked down a point or more. The shorts were apparently none too sure of their position, however, and hesi- tated to press their advaitage.
 A tentative drive at the coppers and motors in the afternoon gave this result, but the last hour brought a moderate recovery. Rails, oils, equip ments and shipping shares were in demand on the late rise, in which there was considerable short cover ing.
 Although the movement as a whole was of small proportions. weakness developed in few spots. American Writing Paper preferred dipped to 201a, the lowest since 1918.
 Central Leather common and pre- ferred yielded about four points each. and these issues, together with Utah Copper, Continental Can and United States Alcohol reached low points.
 Influences governing the trend of speculation were not changed in im- portant particulars by the days de- velopments. The improvement in the -,F rlxn xnr ir, with yesterdays steady weakening. appeared to be due to nothing more than the stronger technical position in consequence of recent selling.
 Heaviness predominated in the bond market, although several of the weak features of yesterday made re- coveries. Central Leather 5s. Chile Copper 6s, Mercantile Marine 6s, Central of Georgia 5s and Oregon Short Line refunding As declined l to IF points. Reading As, Southern Railway As, St. Paul refunding 4hs. and Chesapeake & Chic convertible 4lss and 5s lost substantial frac- tions. Total sales. par value, $I,- S50, ,000.

 DUN'S REPORT

Establishments In a number of important basic depart ments have made further progress and this is materially assisted by ln- creasing resistance to further low ering of values, notably in the cotton woolen and silk goods 'dlvisions' ID which prices are now apparently on a stable basis, and in hides and leather which have benefited by somewhat better demand from manufacturers Advices from New England show further resumption of activity IT shoe manufacturing, with some plants operative at full capacity, ana pro auction in others increasing.

 CHICAGO BOARD
 CHICAGO. Aug. 12.--Wheat dis played unusual steadiness in price today. Hedging and profit taking sales were about evenly balanced by commission house demand based largely on assumptions that export business would develop in sufficient volume to absorb all wheat surplus in this country and Canada On the other hand, export call today ap- peared to have come to halt. Open ing quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to s4 cents higher. with September S1.241s to $1.25 and December s1.271a to SIPS, were fol- lowed by moderate setback and then by a rally to about yesterdays finish.
 Lack of support weakened corn. After opening at 1s cent decline to a like advance. including September at 57A to 57s cents, the market un- derwent a general sag and showed but little power to rally.
 Oats were easier with corn, start ing unchanged to a shade higher, September 36%, and later declining all around.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave firmness to provisions.
 In the last half hour the market declined. Official French and Ca nadian crop estimates were bearish. The close was unsettled, 1a to2 cents net lower, with September s1.2S1z to s1.2S% and December $1-25lz to $125%.

through the centuries.
The urge 10 give presents at least
once year was felt even before
Christmas and Santa Claus came into
the scheme OF things. and the ancient
Greeks. Chinese. Egyptians and Rom
ans rendered their gifts TO one anoth-
er on the first day of the year. Kings
got into the habit Of receiving extra
gifts from their subjects on these davs
and liked it so we'll they began ex-
torting larger and larger sums. This
practice got so bad in Rome under the
Caesars that Claudius called halt.
1t spread to other countries, how
ever. and the English had their New
Years celebration spoiled annually by
rapacious sovereigns until Queen
Elizabeth's modest demands OF her
subjects cut gifts down to a minimum
In those days the celebration OF New
Years Day had become worldwide.
With variations to suit all nationali-
ties it consisted everywhere Of eat

with big houses and flowing side

day and from all over friends came
afoot. on bicycles and in surreys and
