NEW YORK CURB CUTS
RATES ON COMMISSIONS

NEW YORK, July 21.-The board
OF governors OF the New York Curb
Market has adopted an amendment to
the constitution authorizing a small
decrease in the commission rates for
the execution of orders in stocks
selling under SIS. The new move is
designed to help the members obtain
additional business and will become
operative at once. For several weeks
trading on the curb has been light,
as an aftermath of the bucket shop
failures, but within the last few
days the outlook for an increased
volume is promising, according to
prominent members of the exchange.
Under the old rate the cost to
the nonmembers was 81 a hundred for
stock selling at from 81 to under SO.
This is cut to SO a hundred. Stocks
selling at from 50 to under 81 have
a new rate established at 81 per
hundred. Stocks selling at S4 and un-
der IS continue at the present rates.
In stocks selling under so cents there
is a change in the give-up rate from
per cent to half of 1 per cent.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
SEES ADDED CAUTION
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Bradstreets
Review today said:
More quiet in trade and industry
with an added note of conservatism
in surplus wheat-growing regions,
but a slightly more cheerful tone in
some speculative lines and a further
gain in crop conditions are the out
standing features of the report this
week. These cross currents give an
additional appearance of ire egularity
to q situation which, displaying most
of the characteristics of midsummer,
vet depict conditions in most mar
kets as still in advance of a year
ago, despite the fact that the advance
of the year is bringing changes in
comparison with this date a year ago.
Absence of statesmen from the road,
due to the vacation period, is credited
In some markets with a portion of
the quiet in evidence in dealings for
the future, but the reports also give
evidence that decline of wheat below
81 at large markets early in the
week had an effect on the tone of
trade in west central markets, while
hot weather acted as a bar to op-
erations in areas in the southwest,
where, nevertheless, hot weather had
been welcomed because of it's bene-
fetal effect upon the cotton plant.

NEW YORK, July 21.---The past
week has seen a definite turn for the
better in Wall street affairs after
three months of almost unimproved
decline.
1t became necessary for Wall stree
to offer unusually tempting bargains
before attracting new buying suffi-
Client to absorb the offerings from
hard-pressed speculative holders.
After stocks were selling to yield
anywhere from to per cent the
temptation to investment capital was
great enough to overcome all other
considerations.
Upturn Now Is Natural.
The upturn on the stock exchange
has been partly the natural recoil Of
a market pressed down much too far
ana partly realization that pessi-
mlst1c predictions about the business
OUTLOOK, the fashion month ago, do
not and never have squared with the
tacts. Neither the situation abroad
nor business conditions here are any
different now from what they were
when stocks were at the bottom at
the close of June. The evidence of
rather negative so far as rejecting
opinion in banking circles regarding
the British reply to Germany and
the reception it will meet at Paris
and Berlin.
If any conclusion were to be drawn
it would be that the markets are
skeptical about the success of Great
Britain in the role of mediator. They
do not look TO see France back down
from her extreme attitude unless
Germany forsakes her policy of pas
sive resistance. And they do not
anticipate that Germany Will abandon
out guarantee that France will do
what all other nations, except herself
and possibly Belgium. regard as the
fair and reasonable thing to do.
BUSINESS Conditions Unchanged.
General business conditions in this
country remain about as they were
week ago. The time has not yet
come for active buying in anticipa-
tion Of the autumn trade; therefore.
il is not possible TO get an accurate
line upon the business volume OF the
closing quarter of the year. But the
essential fact remains that. with a
few exceptions, stocks of merchan-
disc and raw materials are compara-
lively small. There is an over pro-
duction in crude oil which has so far
failed to yield to corrective measures.
There is some excess in cotton goods,
in boots and shoes and in one or two
other branches Of industry. Iron and
steel output will have TO come down
more than il has in order to accom-
modate itself To reduced demands:
But these are not serious points
Of weakness. So long as there Is no
general overstocking of goods, no
cancellations of old orders. the gen.
eral business position must be con-
sidered sound. The decline in COM
