New York Aug. 1.-Early prices in me stock market today tended upward again. on what proved an erroneous as- sumption that President Harding's plan for a settlement of the railroad strike would(be accepted by the opposing inter ests.
 The market reacted sharply later. however, In the absence of more than moderate public support and pressure against motors, rubbers, steels ana equipments. which seemed to originate largely from professional sources.
 Selling of motors apparently was i'm peIled by announcements of further cuts in the prices of several popular makes of cars. The reaction in rubbers was attributed to similar conditions in the tire trade.
 Reactions among steels and equip- rnents from their frmness of the fore noon were ascribed to delay in the awarding of contracts by some of the larger railway systems. Fuel shortage also encouraged liquidation of those is sues.
 Despite the uncertainty in the strike situation, rails as whole offered great sr resistance to bearish sggressiona han any other group.

than all of the others, so it was NOV
ed and carried that Miss Agnes Slack
cast the elective ballot for her. This
makes the United States the head
quarters of the Worlds w. C. T. u.
Mrs. Gordon Wright of Canada and
Miss Dagmar Prior Of Denmark led
in close race for vice president In
the nominating ballot, and second
ballot was taken which resulted in the
election of Miss Prior.
Miss Slack very frankly and charac-
teristically announced that she was a
candidate for secretary; said she
wanted the job and believed she could
serve for worlds prohibition in that
position better than anywhere else.
Needless to say she was elected
unanimously. Any one who has ever
attended worlds convention of the
w. G. T. u. could hardly conceive of a
meeting of that body without Agnes
Slack as the secretary. Mrs. Johnson
of Canada was also elected ore of
the secretaries and Mrs. Ella Boole
was reelected treasurer.
