New York. Aug. 2s.-The weak
ness in French government and In
dustrial external loans were the
important incidents in the bond
market today. For some time
French securities dealt in on the
New York Stock Exchange had
withstood fairly we'll the depress-
ing influence Of the decline In

in French exchange, accompanied
by a new low for German marks,
made itself felt in the French re-
public TVS and SIS which lost more
than a point and in the department
of Seine Is and the SCISSORS Is
we're at their bottom prices. Other
French municipals also went
lower.
The European situation and the
weakness in foreign external rath-
er drew attention away from the
domestic list. Railway bonds were
steady but much less active. Most
of the high grade mortgages were
little changed. A few, including
New York Central refunding IS,
Missouri Pacific General As, South
ern Railway As, and st. Louis
Southwestern second As touched
their highest prices for the year.
Toledo, st. Louis and Western As
and Green Bay debenture BIS also
established fresh tops, and there
wer substantial gains in Southern
Pacific refunding As, Atchison gen.
eral As, Erie general As, c. & o.
convertible IS and Minneapolis and
St. Louis refunding As. Seaboard

way bonds which softened and this
was especially noticeable among
the speculative members such as

part were comparatively unimpor-

Among the Independent oils the
feature was Alcon Oil, which was
actively sold with decline of about
a point. Arkansas Natural Gas was
again in demand at rising prices.

New York, Aug. 25.-Trading
was slack in the cotton cloth mar
ket today, slowing down in antici-
patton Of the week end, the coming
holiday and to await the next gov
eminent cotton report. Prices for
the standard print cloth construc-
tons for spot and nearby delivery
were very firm and holders asked
an increase Of one-eighth cent over
spot quotations for deliveries aft
er September. Sheetings were firm
but trading was spotty. The de-
mand for specialties and fine count
goods was confined to small lots.
The silk market was stiffened by
activity in oriental markets but
some inclination to shade a recent
price advance still was in evidence,
The coarser grades were in best
demand.

Boston, Aug. 25.-The wool mar
ket continued dull today, although
buyers were picking up lots OF
three-eighths blood whenever the
opportunity offered. Sentiment has
been improved by the withdrawal

featuring interests. Mohair is in
good demand with slight increases
in prices for the better grades, bes,

houses were fair buyers and there
was some buying against export
sales, considerable No. hard hax-

yesterday Hedging pressure was
moderate as a rule, although there
was some increase in the spring
wheat offerings northwest. Liver
pool was l pence of for futures
and unchanged to 3 pence higher
for spot wheat. Primary receipts
were 2,096,000 bushels against g.
$4,000 bushels year ago. The
demoralized German conditions had
bearish effect early. However.
the fact that the German situation
was without effect on English, mar.
kets checked selling. Broomhall
cabled that the Indian report of
lifting the ban on exports had not
been confirmed and this caused
some late buying.
Corn rallied after an easier tone
early. The cash demand was good
with price basis unchanged. Com
mission houses bought corn on re-
ports of damage in the west and
southwest. Argentine shipments
only 1,444,000 bushels. From this
country clearances for the week
were 2,999,OO0 bushels.i Receipts
were 1,O42,000 bushels against l.
$4,000 a year ago.
In oats there was further active
buying of the September, and the
entire market was strong. Re
ceipts were ITO cars estimated.
Cash demand was fair and prices
were steady relatively.
Provisions were lower but there
was some buying credited to lead
