volume of spots and nearby deIiy-
cries changed hands. Prices were

FINANCIAL NOTES

i The failure of the Consolidated
Stock Exchange firm of Edwards
and Gatenby was announced by
President Sileworth of that ex-
shange.
= H. r. Mallinson and company
sase practically completed the
plans for merger with one big silk
yencern and negotiations are pro-
ceding with another concern which
lid a gross business of between
s20,O00,00O and $25, 1000 annually
in the last few years and whose
profits averaged $4,000 900; its sur
plus amounts to $5,000,O00
The following sold ex-dividend to-
lay: Bethlehem common A and 7
per cent preferred; Reading first
preferred, and U. S. Steel common.
The semi-annual report of Amer
fcan Smelling and Refining which
will appear about Sept. 10, will
show no balance for common stock
for the first half of the year after
payment Of interest, taxes ard pre-
ferred dividends. The earnings
however are showing an encourage
ing increase and it is believed that
with higher prices for lead and
zinc and better demand for copper
earnings for the second half of the
year will be as much as two DER
cent on common stock.

Curb Market
By STUART p. WEST
Copyright. 1oa1.s

New York, Aug. 29.-Standard Oil
, of Kentucky was the leader on the
curb exchange today. The stock
on Monday had gone up about
points in the face of a fairly gen.
era3 decline elsewhere. This had
plainly pointed to special buying
for a special cause. This morning
the buying came out into the open
and with the remainder of the mar
ket recovering, Standard of Ken
lucky shot forward some four
points. The explanation common
ly given was that the stock was
getting ready for a dividend in
crease. Other oil shares as a rule
regained all or more than what
they had lost on the previous day.
This was true Of Standard Oil of
Indiana and International PETROL
cum. Where prices had not yield
ed on Monday they were not dis
posed to move forward so easily.
Cities Service stocks were little
changed. 1t was announced that
the thurman Oil company had de-
veloped new lease near Hewitt
Field, Oklahoma, where its first oil
well drilled in on August IS, is
producing 300 barrels daily.
Glen Alden Coal became more
prominent and ran up rather sharp
ly. British-American Tobacco, Du-
bilier Radio and Goldwyn Pictures
were barely steady.
Hayes Wheel was actively dealt
in but within a narrow range of
prices. Gimbel Brothers stock, on
small offerings, dropped off sharp
ly. The motor group was irregu-
lar with slightly higher prices
while some issues were lower.
Stutz was evidently receiving sup
port as it drew toward the 20
level. Macy Company preferred
sold at 107 again, as compared with
1865 last night.
Investment issues were in good
demand with New York Telephone
preferred at new high. The
movement in this stock was part of
the general campaign in the tele-
phone and telegraph group on the
big board. Supporting orders
checked the decline in Philip Nor
ris after the stock had gone down
a point. Bethlehem Steel preferred
held firm.

Our citizenship and our officers
in this county have always done
their duty" he said, but sometimes
were helpless when there were
killings And mobs in other COM
munities.
But you should disregard all
these things because you are not
called upon to try side issues"
He enjoined on the jury the ne
cessity of secrecy and warned them
that this might be difficult.
You should not be tempted in a
moment of weakness to decide out
Of expectation of any temporary
gain" he said. You are free to
indict or vote true bill if you are
convinced there is a reasonable
probability Of guilt"
Now there are a lot of things
that the individual may think or
speak. There are people with argu-
ments and theories about matters
that are absolutely immaterial.
They have little to do with the case.
This inquiry is for the purpose of
investigating these killings of
human beings on those dates, to as
certain who participated in them, or
who had anything to do with them.
1T will be your duty to weigh
any facts you can gather connected

tons. do no. want to beclcud the

You are here as representatives of

Il do not mean to lecture you. A
good many of you are older than l

WHEAT HOLDING
FIRM TONE At
CHICAGO MART
(By the Consolidated p-ess.)

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Wheat was In
! moderate demand early, holding a
firm tone but there was steady
selling against northwest pur-
chases which finally filled up the
| demand. The undertone was rather
heavy consequently in the late
trade. The Liverpool cables came
1h@1A pence lower at the close
which helped unsettle che market.
The demand for wheat for export
was fair, but most of the recent
business has been for Manitobas.
Country offerings of spring wheat
are liberal but there is no great
pressure Of winter wheat. Some of
the buying in the pit 4on the break
cal interests were said to have sold
some hard winter. The milling de-
mand was moderate Local receipts
were 200 cars. Winnipeg cash
premiums were lower, number l
northern being quoted SIC over
the October.
Corn was weak and the big re-
ceipts took the wind out of the bull
sails. Arrivals here were 300 cars
estimated and this run seems to
be followed by free marketing all
this week and next The shipping
demand was only fair and spot
prices were steady. The shipping
demand was moderate. Rains were
forecast for much OF the belt.
Iowa reports on the condition of
the crop were favorable. In oats
there was an Indifferent demand,
and the undertone was easy. The
cash demand was fair and the
market was helped a little by the
small receipts which were only 70
cars higher.
Provisions were weak and lower
with further liquidation by COM
mission houses, packers giving the
market a little support on the dips.
Receipts of hogs were $4,000 and
western points had $1,000 against
$4,000 a year ago. The hog market
at the finish was Is to Csc lower

PUBLIC UTILITIES STRONG.

RV0AlLs " Hill ADO OAASVNWs i
Wall Street. New York, Aug. -.
Again today the principal fea-
lures Of the market were provid-
ed by the public utility group.
North American had another ex-
traordinary jump to IS accompan-
led by talk that the dividend would
be raised In the fall to at least IS
and quite possibly 81. Philadel-
phia company, on which increased
dividends are also being spoken
of. got up to a new high, and Con-
solidated Gas rose sharply. indi-
eating that even the 10 point rise
within the last few days had not
completed the discounting Of the
new disqualification plan. Ameri-
can Ice was another utility to
make new high. The New York
City Traction did better, apparent
ly on the conclusion drawn from
overnight discussion that the Hy-
Ian plan for "recapturing" the
subways and scrapping the sur
face and elevated lines, was alto
gether out of the question because
of the prohibitive cost involved. In
the public utility group the tele-
phone and telegraph issues were
to be included. and these stocks
gave a remarkable demonstration
especially American T. l. T. which
crossed 125 for the first time.
CAST IRON PIPE.
Both U. S. Cast Iron Pipe, COM
mon and preferred, got into new
high ground for the year on buy
ing of the same sort that has been
in evidence for some days past.
The company Isl now working with
the new Delavaud process and the
tests made are said to show a re-
evolutionary change in the pipe sit
uation. The Birmingham plant is
now equipped with the Delavaud
process and tests of the pipe
turned out are said to be thorough
ly satisfying to the engineers Of
the company.
AMERICAN ICE.
American Ice broke out of its
trading area and moved ahead rap
idly into new high ground for the
year on fresh reports regarding
the plans of the company for split
ting up the common strock Di-
rectors are scheduled to meet late
next month for dividend action but
some word on the new plan is e1-
pected before that time. Ice is
reported earning at the rate of $50
share on the common.
CLUETT PEABODY.
Cluett Peabody directors at their
meeting to be held in the first week
of September are expected to put
the stock back on a SIS dividend
basis. This is one of the COM
panies which suffered during the
period of depression following the
signing of the Armistice and was
caught with large inventories at
high prices. 1t has come back with
a vengeance, however, and earn
ings now warrant the resumption
of dividends.
