TRADING QUIET
IN LOCAL MARKET
Electric Storage Battery Ran
of on Belated Profit.
Taking

With the exception of Electric Stor-
age Battery trading in the local stocks
was quiet. The stagnation in the home
ISSUES was partly offset by more active
dealings in the so-called New York
stocks. Alotogcthpr trading lacked in
itiative and was both meaningless and
colorless.
\ further decline in Electric Storage
Battery to 1912 apparently was the
result of belated realization of paper
profits. When this pressure was lifted
the stock EARLY rallied 70 100. The
lower quotations represented n net
decline of 5l2 points from last week y
top, thereby practically cancPlling most
all of the recent improvement.
Smaller offerings of Pennsylvania
were made and the stock for the mo-
ment appeared to be pegged at 371s
Small fractional advances were reg
istcred in I. G. I. and Philadelphia
Electric preferred. Keystone Telephone
on an odd lot transaction was up q
from the previous quotation at SA.
In view of the surrounding influences
the narrowness and sluggishness Of the
market was to be expected. Consider :
ing all things the list as a whole held
up better than might have been reason
ably expected under the circumstances.
Logically there was q widespread in
cination to defer activities until mat
ters shape up more clearly on the bigger
board.

NEW YoRk coEEEE MARKET

New York, Aug. S.--Thc local coffee
futures market opened unchanged to .
point advance. with a broker often trad
ing for New Orleans account the princi.
pai buyer Of September, December and
March. with offerings from scattered
Wall Street and trade sources. Clear
ancca for the week from Brazil were
very light both for Europe and the
United States. and for the United
States were 50 900 bags and for Europe
04,2OO bags.
Shortly after II o'clock n special
cable reported Rio unchanged TO 100
reis lower. Other than causing Il
2-noint loss here. this news had very
little effect on local sentiment, the mar
ket being empty.
Mild coffee brokers report large vol
umc of coffee distributed last week and
indications are that continued good
business Is ahead. even at better price
levels IL conditions warrant It. The
country Is not carrying stocks and,
while the demand has not been for large
lots, the buyers have entered the market
often. so that the aggregate Of business
has been very good. A continuation of
this demand should, il is believed, result
in higher exchange prices.

tered their desire to locate lands reclaimed for
farming As instance of the eagerness with which
irrigated tracts are sought 5000 applied for 40
farms made available last fall.
The Reclamation Service Is back OF one of the
several bonus bills which would throw open irrigated
tracts to ex-soldiers easy mortgage terms and is
sangune that Congress will give the measure early
atteRtion though there is doubt that anything
can be done in the matter during the short special
session. The bill would furnish the -snews Of war"
to the service for engineering work necessary as
preliminary to irrigation. including dams and canals
In the labor Of preparing the land for cultivation
and home building ex-servce men would be given
preference for employment, about 600 being
qured for each 100000 developed II the work

land they help reclaim, from per of their
salaries would be withheld initial payment. In
stead OF assuming a mortgage maturing in twenty
years is the ordinary term for such papers, the
soldier would be given forty-fve years in which to
pay the principal and il is calculated that the remark
able fertility Of the land irrigated would put the farms
on a paying basis in three or four years.

the village from which he set out on his l-starred
attempt to regain his throne On his departure the
former Emperor issued statement declaring that he
was still the rghtfu ruler OF Hungary and implying
that he might return to claim his throne at more
opportune time In the light of the reception which
Charles received from Admiral Horthy and the Hum
garian people and the firm stand taken by the little
entente, that opporune time is likely to arrive
1t is too much to expect that the signal failure Of
the Hapsburg coup will deter the Hungarian monarch
lists from further agitation and intrigue, but their in
Huence will unquestionably be weakened, which in
itself should tend improve relations between Hum
gary and her neighbors One Of the chief obstacles
to the resumption of normal relations between the
which have been formed from the former Aus
tro-Hungarian Empire has been the suspicion of the
present Hungarian government as being pro-Haps-
burg in its sympathies Any weakening of the power
Of these reactionares should strengthen liberal eie-
