WHEAT SET BACK BY SHARP BREAK M PRICE OF CORN.

CHICAGO. August 23-A sharp break in September corn, set back the wheat market which was on the verge of recovering from an early decline because of disappointing cable news. Trading, however. in the late part of the season in all grains became uneventful and uninteresting. At the finish wheat was off Is to 1-2c with December IA 5-S and May 110 1S @ 110 1-4; corn registered net losses of 1-s @ 1 5-Sc and oats 1-4 to 3-4c. Provisions were 232 5s 12lsc higher,
 Wheat displayed a sagging ten dency, there being nothing in the news to lend encouragement to bulls while the bears were furnished with ammunition in the way of a severe drop in September corn, easy under tone in stocks, weakness In Liverpool and the reported sale of @ cargo Of wheat by Russia to France. Trade lacked the aggressiveness shown the previous day and the market was in need of constant support to sustain values. Increased arrivals and fore cast for generally fair weather and rising temperature tonight and Fri day over the grain belt also operated against those inclined to the con structiVe side.
 Action in September corn proved the main attraction in the grain trade. This delivery broke 3-4c from the previous close as the result of heavy liquidation. Stop-loss or ders to sell were numerous on the way down, failed to develop, how ever, after the price reached S1 32c a good rally was staged firm this pint.
 Selling of oats were encouraged by weakness in other grains. Trade was light with commission houses buyinA on the breaks. Buying by smaller packers gave firmnoss to provisions.

 X company, Special dispatch tt
 The Age -Herald)
 The forces gather, rapily here, slowly there, but steadily, day after day night after night, From the counting houses they come; from the high places of business and finance; from factory, mill and camp; from the school, the church. the club, the lodge; from that greatest of all American institutions, the home. For the woman voter owes no al- legiance to the saloon that was, nor the ward politician that is. She has seen the home, the very race itself imperiled by the liquor evil. Even before she had the ballot she fought desperately against the enemy of all her far-flown ideals.
 Now, independent politically with out bitter partisan ties, idealistiC and yet intensely practical, she has brought to our swelling hosts an army whose courage, valor and ferver are as high as the twinkling stars. No politician or party can of ford to affront her. No sectional lines can limit her activity, intimately re- lated to the great charitable and philanthropic movements of the na- tion, in the closest touch with youth and it's problems, Vitally concerned with conditions that will surround a generation unborn, she cannot be deceived. She knows.
 There is a centre to 1t all, to this mobilizing of the forces of right, of sanity of civic cleanliness. The leader sof the nation, with all the power for good that is his by virtue of the high place for which he has been chosen, stands before the world fear lessly, uncompromisingl on the one great issue. And he has given voice to 1t, so that all may bear, and none may fail to understands
 Tt Is the partial indulgence which challenges the majesty of the law but the greater crime is the impair- ment of the moral fibre of the Re- public. l do not see how any citizen who cherishes the protection of the law in organzed society may feel himself secure when he himself is the example of contempt for law. Ours must be a law abiding Repub- lie, and reverence and obedience must spring from the influential and the leaders among us as well as obe- dience from the humber citizen, else the temple will collapse.
 Whatever satisfaction there may be in indulgence, Whatever objection there is toNthe so-called invasion of personal liberty, neither counts when the supremacy of law and the stabil- ity of our institutions are menaced.
 With all good intentions the ma iority sentiment of the United States has sought by law to remove strong drink as a curse upon the American citizen, but ours is the larger prob- lem now to remove lawless drinking as a menace to the Republic itself.
 And there, with the President of the United States in the van, the tide of battle rolls.

 GERMANY MUST PAY
 Matters cannot go Indefinitely as they are now. Politicians may rage, but there are higher laws which even they will have 10 recognize in due time-economic laws, which have never yet been set aside by act of legislature or decrees of princes. Water continues to flow down hill and it can never be made to flow uphill. It can be pumped up, but that takes money and effort just as it does any other interference with natural laws. Germany is defyinE natural laws and will have to pav the penalty, Even France, just as her cause may be, must parallel her remedy with economic law and if she fails to do so, she will have to suffer accordingly.
 COAL NEGOTIATIoNs
 The impasse in the coal negotfa- tions has not proved heartening factor in stock market operations, Ihere Is strong set of public opin- lon against 8 strike. The publication Of a report by the coal commission was taken in some quarters to jus .Ai tHC utLudHQS or the miners for increased wages, but in others, it was pointed out that the figures submit ted by the commission had reference to gross profits before interest taxes ana other charges were deducted. 1t was also argued that there did not appear any substantial reason why the price of coal should not be re- duced. The public Is entitled to some consideration in the present contro- NerSey, but seems to he lgattins~ x,er, little of 1t. Hard coal is used mostly by householders in the east and Is already so high in price, as to be hardship to the poorer families.
 one Of the features of the days trading, was the activity in the Erie issues. One rumor was that the road was being acquired by the Del sWara, Lackawana and Western, but the fact that the road had made such strong showing in earning capa- city in the last few months, has begun to attract attention.

FOR PLAZA
HOTEL IN SUPPLY BILL

Carrying an appropriation of $780,
600 for the so-called government no.
tells for government clerks on the
Union station plaza and other large
items Of appropriations for local in
stitutions, the House late yesterday
passed the supply bill for independ-
ent establishments, with a total ap-
preparation of $496.2S5,771.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
by number of democratic members,
led by Representatives Jones and
Back of Texas and Davis of Tennes-
see, to cut down the Shipping Board
items, particularly those relating to
employment Of attorneys.
Mr.. Davis sought unsuccessfully to
have the bill recommitted with in
Structions for a provision which
would prohibit the Shipping Board
from sending out propaganda" in
favor of legislation.
An appropriation of s428,160,7T3 for
the Veterans Bureau and items total
ing s54.411,500 for the Shipping
Board were the largest provisions in
the bill.
This bill includes $4,000 to prepare
plans for remodeling the White
House to do away with "fire-trap"
condition reported there by Lieut. Col
Clarence o. Sheriff., superintendent
of public buildings and grounds. Be
fore the bill was passed an item of
$4,000 was included for extraordinary
repairs to the White House. It also
provides for the maintenance of the
new White House police force
1t carries $107,5o0 for additional
mission, which is $17,500 in excess
of the estimates
