HARDING UNABLE TO ATTEND
 INTERN NATIONAL CCn-TE,


 New York, July 25.-President Hard ing, in letter made public today express ed his regrets at being unable to attend the joint Princeton-Cornell and Oxford Cambridge track meet at Travers Island Thursday, praised the spirit of the inter- national contest
 q am desirous that you should be as- sured of my interest and sincere ap- proval of such contests as this" the pres ident wrote. I know that in the past years such friendly competitions have done much for the promotion of those splendid relations between our country and the government and people of the United Kingdom, which have so excel lently served both countries for a full century,
 'In these fine and manly contests, the very essence of which Is true sports manship an real good fellowship, we have found the basis of good understanding and friendly sentiments. I have many times been informed of the pleasure with which our American athletic representa- tives have received Inequalities there showed upon them, and I confidently hope that our own treatment 0n visitors from the other side will never fail to reciproci- ty. Whatever shall contribute to the maintenance and further improvement, If it be possible, of the splendid relations so long existing between the two Eng fish speaking nations must be of service not only to these nations, but indeed, to every interest of civilization and hu- manity."

FINANCIaL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED IRREGULAR.

New York. July 25.-A fair measure of activity and strength, especially among iteels, equipments and rubber, sugar and -obacco specialties, marked the opening 1f the week on the stock exchange. Part lf this advantage was cancelled in the de drift of the later dealings, the mar set closing irregularly. Sales amounted O 3S5, 900 shares.
 sentiment respecting general industrial md commercial conditions was better. There was little in the days operations, loweYer. indicative of any material limnution of commitments for the short account.
 The failure of a prominent brokerage louse with local and Philadelphia con lections suggested that certain weak eatures in the markets technical posi- ion were in process of further readjust- nent or liquidation.
 Offerings of call money at 1-2 per 2ent., later shaded to 5. were larger than at any time since the disbursement of July interest and dividend payments Time rates held firm, but interior banks again bought literally of merchants 1aper.
 Foreign exchange was the one branch of the financial markets in which re- actionary conditions prevailed. The London rate for demand bills fell to a fraction under S3.57 and continental quo .ations yielded variably.
 Trading in bonds was moderately ac- tive, industrials and rails adding frac- tionally to last weeks gains. Liberty issues closed mostly at higher levels, but nternationals Weer mixed. Total sales tpar value) aggregated s1o,S75.00o.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, July 25.-Wheat prices hnlyAd at the last today on account of renorts that wheat bought by Belgium in Ans tralla was being received out of condi- uon The market closed firm. 3 1-4 to If net higher. with September s1 93 l-2 to $1.23 S-4 and December SIPS 1-4 to a$l.2S 1-2. Corn gained 3-S to 5-Sc. odts lost 1-4Q3 3-S to 5-S. and provisions finished unguarded to e15c lower.
 Late strength of wheat was .mnba- sized by gossip that exporters had heen unable to obtain their requirements in the market here. Renewed attention was thus drawn to a statement from Seere- tary Hoover putting stress on 2 forecast that United States surplus grain would ioe Tn demand for Europe Until after midday however, the market had ruled heaVy owing to continued big receipts here and to likelihood that the total pl1nary receipts his week might exceed any previous record. Besides. hedging pressure was much in evidence during the morning and premiums for fancy spring grades were shot to pieces-tum- phng 25c in some cases compared with saturday. On the other hand, a decided falling off in the amount of bedgirp safes LOOK place in the last hour shorts covered freely and commission house de- mana was said to be of a very good class.
 Export sales of 900 bushels rallied the corn market from the bearish effect or rains but hedging sales kept oats weak throughout the day.
 Lower quotation on hogs acted as q weight on provisions.
