AGENCY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Dun's week.
ly review of trade says:
Existing strikes have unmistak-
ably restrained the business recovery
that had been steadily gathering
momentum. and evidence is not lack
ing of a distinct check in certain
quarters. Priority orders in railroad
transportation and distribution of
fuel reflect the more disturbing as
pect of the labor troubles, and pres
ent conditions cause the deferment of
numerous transactions which would
otherwise be consummated. Hesita-
tion in industrial circles not un-
naturally follows the development of
doubts regarding supplies and costs
of coal, while producing capacity in
some leading lines cannot be utilized
to the extent that had been preyi-
ously foreshadowed.
Actual curtailment of manufactur-
ing, where it appears, results more
from the inability to maintain output
than from restriction of buying, vet
demand has also slackened In some
instances because deliveries are more
uncertain, and there Is an increasing
disposition to postpone important ac-
tion pending clearer insight into
the future. Although this is normally
the quietest period of the year. the
prevailing drawbacks tend to accen-
tuate the summer abatement OF ac-
'tivities and to prompt waiting poll
icy in different quarters.

DAIRY MARKETS.
GRAIN TREND DOWNWARD
DESPITE HEAVY EXPORTS

CHICAGO, July 29.-Notwithstandin
enormous export business. wheat has
gone down in prices this week as re-
suit Of the new winter crop being
pressed forward in greater volume than
the market could readily absorb. Com
pared with week ago, wheat this
morning was 11aa2k lower. corn of
y to 1%a1N. oats showing xah de-
cline and provisions at setback OF
7a30
With speculative buying OF wheat re-
stricted to nearly the vanishing point,
and with primary receipts swollen at
times to almost double the aggregate
for last years corresponding period
the burden on the market appeared too
heavy to prevent at least moderate
descent Of values. Exporters systemati-
cally awaited declines, and on single
day took as much as 1000. 900 bushels
without causing prices to develop any
unusual strength.
One of the most bearish elements Of
the situation was the difficulty Of get
ting an attractive offer on wheat for
deferred shipment. Owing to the rail
and coal strikes. buyers displayed ex-
treme reluctance to assume risk OF de-
lay in delivery. Toward the end Of the
week much notice was taken of opin-
ions that a settlement Of the strikes
would so stimulate general business as
to be a bullish instead of a bearish
factor in wheat.
Corns and oats receded with wheat.
and touched new 1ow-record prices for
the season.
Provisions were affected by grain
weakness and by a break in Liverpool
quotations for lard.

to be the result OF the low price for

WEEK OF WOOL REVIEW.

BOSTON. July 29.-The Commercial
Bulletin says of the weekly wool
market:
There is a better tone in the wool
market as result of the Senate
tariff vote. although wool merchants
are inclined to deplore the passage
of the proposed wool tariff as unfor-
tunate and bound to bring a reaction.
Wool prices are very firm in this
market for all woods out of bond,
while the foreign markets are firm.
Liverpool-East India auctions having

earlier weakness. The demand for
woolens in the goods market has
been fairly satisfactory, and the
American Woolen Company has with
drawn the production Of nine mills

much favor. Little is reported from

BUTTER Is UNSETTLED.

CHICAGO, July 2s-Increasing ac-
cumulations of butter brought about
extremely weak market conditions
but the demands Of speculative in
terests caused a reaction toward the
end OF the week, says the weekly re-
port Of the United States bureau OF
agricultural economics. Because of q
curtailed demand for storage, the re-
port continues. receivers have been
burdened practically since July / with
heavy accumulations. When consum-
ing outlets failed to relieve the stu
alton dealers during the week slashed
prices and managed to clear away
part OF the accumulations. The lower
prices, however, brought a keen spec
ulative interest and prices reacted to
q higher level. With higher prices
market became very unsettled.

RAILS ARE HIGHER.
|NDUSTR|ALS SLOW
Earnings of Various Roads
+. Satisfactory-Ending Of
Strike Not Far Off.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-The under
day. showing that the profit taking of
Friday had not impaired confidence
| that the strikes were drawing to an
end.
The street saw considerable signi1-
canoe in the decision Of the Balti-
more and Ohio shopmen to walt for
a national settlement Of differences
with the roads instead OF making a
private arrangement with their indi-
vidual employers. While it was not
clear in the absence of detail about
the Baltimore and Ohio proposal that
the program was satisfactory to the
workers, still surface indications
pointed toward expectations that some
general scheme satisfactory to all
concerned would grow out of Presi-
dent Harding's suggestion.
Rails Open Firm.
Railroad stocks started off with a
show of strength. Union Pacific led
with an initial gain Of nearly 2 points.
and good-sized fractional gains were
marked up by New York Central,
B &c o. C & O, and Northern Pacific.
The days railroad reports showing
results in June, were highly satisfac-
tory. helping to center speculative in
terest in the carrier stocks.
Northern Pacific. for instance, which
had made an Indifferent showing in
the earlier months, announced gross
and net incomes twice as large as ap-
peared in June, 1921.
The L & N gained 100000 in gross
revenue, and had very large ex-
pansion in net income. The Great
Northern did very well.
Induxtrials spotty.
Industrial stocks were quite spotty.
Anothe sinking spell in Studebaker
carried it down more than points,
with a partial recovery later. The
chemical stocks. particularly Dawson
and Allied Chemical, were in sum-
cient demand to bring early bulges of
~ to points. Trading was rather
quiet and in the last hour consider
able irregularity developed under
profit-taking sales.
German marks again suffered a COL
l apse, falling under $4,000 Of a cent.
The Market Irregular.
Irregularity prevailed in the stock
market today with points of strength
and points of weakness about evenly
divided. The chemical stocks. Allied
Chemical and dyes and Dawson, were
| among the strong features, both ad-
vancing sharply, apparently on belief
that each would be helped materially
by the tariff. The motors were the
weak features. with Studebaker get
ting down below its previous point of
| resistance and Chandler selling of also.
General Cigar.
General Cigar directors are expected
! to put the common stock of the COM
pany on an IS dividend basis this faH.
| This is the reason behind the strength
of the stock in recent market sessions.
General Cigar could well afford to in
crease the dividend from the present
| Sc rate. The company at the present
time has outstanding $5.000.000 in Z
| per cent sinking fund debenture pre-
ferred. which is convertible into COM
! mon. but with the company paying
only per cent there is not a great
| deal of incentive for holders taking
advantage of the conversion privilege.
