STOCK MARKET

Typical Midsummer Conditions

Naua Carvfral


NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Typical
midsummer conditions prevailed In
the stock market today. The shorl'
ness of the session, sandwiched be-
tween yesterdays suspension and
the regular weekend recess was
not at all conducive to operations
on either side Of the market. Still
in spite of a few weak spots crop
ping up in some parts of the list,
the tone was one Of steadiness, al
though the smallness of the trans
actions precluded any indication as
to the course of values in the i'm
mediate future. With the attend
ance on the floor extremely light,
there was no disposition among
traders to take a definite stand
until next week, when, it is ex-
pected, development in the domestic
and foreign situation, which were
overlooked during the period OF
national mourning, will receive
closer consideration.
A good deal of attention was paid
to the movements in the rubber anc
tire shares in connection with re-
ports of over-production and Of an
impending cut in prices. Bearish
activities were conferred in United
States Rubber and Kelly-Spring-
field, both dropping about two
points, whereas United States Rub
Der preferred declined three points
to 81.
Various stocks which were under
pressure the greater part Of the
week showed firmness, the result
Of short covering. Famous Players.

quite strong. Producers and Re-
nners was heavy at the start IN
rumors Of a reduction in the divi-
dend rate at the next meeting. The
main body Of industrial stocks,
however, was not materially
changed, although stiffening
tendency developed later. American
Can appeared under accumulation,
advancing nearly a point, and Wool
worth rose four points to 1851.

were unusually small, but Steadi-

One of the first things she did was

She told her mother that night
that the fortune teller prophesied
she would die by drowning. On
Monday the girl went to Atlantic
Highlands, was seized with cramps
in the water and was drowned.
Friends of the girl advised her
not to go into the water because OF

Service.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-As the
crop movement period draws nearer,
bankers express confidence that the
financing Of the movement of an
other btllion-dollar agricultural crop
will place no undue hardships on the
money reservoirs. The wheat
farmer, harassed with low prices
for his produce, will, in all proba bill
ity, be favored with relatively easy
interest rates for banking accom-.
mediation during this period.
The relatively low return which
the farmer, especially the grower of
wheat, will receive is the result Of a
maladjustment in the economic ma
chine, according to Dr. B. M. Ander-
son, jr., of the Chase National Bank.
The farmers troubles" he point
ed out. grow out of a breach in
the worlds economic equilibrium.
With Europe disorganized and with
production as usual in the rest of
the world, there is a relative scarcity
of manufacturing activity and a rela-
tive excess of farm production, raw
material capacity and shipping.
There is not a general over-produc-
ton, but the proportions are wrong,
and this means over production in
certain lines, of which wheat and
hogs are striking examples. For
agriculture to accept vast new
credits at the present time would
mean putting a lot of new capital
into an already over-expanded indus
try. This would mean increased ag-
ricultural production, and still lower
prices for farm products. There is
no help for the farmer in this course.
Agriculture may very properly
however, continue the process al.
ready underway of funding short
term debt into longtime obligations.
The paper is good. The farmers will
pay it off in the course of time"
Merchants in some of the agricul-
tural districts that have been ad
versely affected report farmers are
letting debts accumulate during the
1920 boom run on and are paying
cash for current purchases
