New York, Aug. Shy A. P)-
Althoug the markets of the past
week have had but half day in
which to register their opinion of the
business significance Of President
Harding's death, a certain amount
OF light on the subject was obtain
able from the statements of business
leaders. The latter, while greatly
deploring his unexpected death,
pointed out that our system of gov
eminent is designed to active stabil-
ity through the distribution of au-
thority among different departments
and that the country's industries
have grown to a point at which they
are comparatively immune to
changes in the complexion of the do
mestic political situation. Accord
1ngly, the change in chief execu-
ives was taken as an occasion for
sorrow rather than apprehension.
Up to the time the news was re-
ceived from San Francisco. the mar
kets had been behaving in an irregu-
lar manner. Stocks were moderate
ly active and gave alternating dis
plays OF weakness and strength. Lii
quldatlon in oil stocks as a result of
the cumulative weakness of the oil
market apparently led to sympathe-
tic liquidation in other parts of the
list. Sugar stocks also gave ground
in sympathy with recessions in the
price Of that commodity. On the
other hand, moderate buying at the
breaks resulted in good recoveries.
The spottiness of the situation was
testified to. meanwhile, by rallies in
some of the more important COM
modities. After marked weakness as
an aftermath of the collapse of the
bull speculation in the July option,
and in anticipation of bearish crop
report, cotton recovered sharply
when the latter proved to be bullish.
Instead of a condition of 1Ofo and a
crop of 12.00O,O00 bales. as had been
anticipated. the department of agri-
culture estimated the condition at
$500 and the crop at II $4,000
bales. AS a result all futures ad-
vanced over cent a pound.
Wheat prices also steadied. part
ly in response to reports of rust
damage in Canada and in certain
parts of the north western states.
Sentiment was somewhat better. en-
phasis being given to the fact that
ample credit facilities are available
to the farmer and that marketing
should be orderly.
Industrial news continued to he
indecisive. In some quarters of the
steel industry the more optimistic
view was taken. Attention was Civ
en- to the unexpectedly good second
quarter earnings statement of the
United States steel Corporation, net
earnings for the three months
amounting TO SAT SIS. ISL. as COM
pared with S34.7SO.O69 in the preced-
ing quarter and with S21,oS6,945 in
the second quarter of last year. The
statement showed that the years
dividend on the common stock had
been earned in the six months with
some $1,000, 900 left over.
Earnings statements for the sec
ond quarter also were published by
automobile and equipment compa-
MES. They revealed strong cash po-
sitions and excellent inventory con-
ditions.
French failure to accept the Bril-
fish draft of reply to Germany was
preceded and accompanied by mark
ed weakness of the foreign eX-
change. French francs declining to
so IL cents. or within IL point of
the low for all time.

The sales are no longer what they were before the automobile came in, but Miles City is still asserted to be the largest horse market in the world. In 1915 and 1916 French and British army buyers made their headquarters here and sent trainload after trainload of animals to the Atlantic coast to be shipped to France.

HARDING SAYS PUBLIC HAS
 RIGHT TO CUT SUGAR BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C. May, B.
 When it was called to his atten- tion that sugar boycotts has been initiate in various parts of the country as a result of the high handed manner in which prices have been boosted lately. President Harding gave 1t as his opinion yes terday that it is wholly consistent for people, who have complaint a. bout the prices of any commodity to restrict their consumption of that commodity.
 zThe President indicated, however, that he does not consider it the business of the Government to con- mend the boycott as a means of fighting sugar or other prices.
 The views of the president pro bably will be set forth at greater length in a telegram soon to be sent to those who have urged him to make a public appeal for redue- ed consumption of sugar. He be- lieves the ultimate solution, insofar as the Government is concerned, lies in legal steps, already under way, for the elimination of specula- tion in sugar. ........: .~

GERMANS SUBMIT PROPOSALS
 FOR PAYMENT OF WAR DEBTS

PARIS, May 3-The French cab inet has unanimously rejected the latest German reparations proposals which were transmitted from Berlin yesterday.
 The reason for the rejection of the proposals is given as lack of sufficient guarentees and the offer of an insufficient sum. Premier Poincare will consult with the Bel gian government with regard to the reply to be sent to Germany. and copies of the, reply will be sent also to all the Allies.
 l. is considered probable that France will immediately extend the area of occupation.
 The German proposal advanced the proposition that security be- tween France and Germany be se- cured by an agreement to submit any future conflict to arbitration or other reconciliatory processes.
 The German offer of separations, copies of which were sent to all the Entente nations and the United States, proposed that the total sun of the German obligations ir cash and kind be fixed al thirty bil- lion marks, twenty billions of thi: total to be raised before July l 1927 by bond issue at norma rates of interest on the information.
