Personal Notes.

Washington's financial businesses
were practically at a standstill this
morning.
The local stock exchange did not
open its doors. out of respect to the
memory OF the late Warren G. Hard
ing, while the brokerage and invest
ment houses and banks were open
only nominally with little, and in
most cases no, business being trans
acted. Likewise, the New York Stock
Exchange suspended trade during the
state funeral here.
In keeping with the solemnity Of
the occasion, the Washington bank
ing fraternity, prevented from closing
by existing legislation, asked all Gus
toners to keep their banking busi-
ness. both today and Friday, at the
minimum which. to every appearance,
was being observed today.
BUSINESS Will be resumed along
normal lines tomorrow for day.

UTTER CONFUSION
IN BERLIN TRADE
Continued Plunge of the Mark and
Fantastic Rise of Dol
lar Noted.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. August Utter confu-
sion prevailed in the retail situation
in all lines in Greater Berlin today,
due to the continued plunging of the
mark and the consequent fantastic
rise Of the dollar.
While the food situation continues
to show chronic shortage in or
dinary staples, hourly rises of prices
caused by the fluctuations of the
mark are projecting a new and seri-
Gus element into the situation. as the
retailers are withdrawing their wares
from sale whenever the customers
refuse to pay prices based on the
gold mark or the dollar units.
AS the latter procedure results in
price ranges. which are prohibited
under the usury ordinances. the Shop
keepers Union has proclaimed gem
eral strike for Thursday, and all re-
tail establishments, except food shops,
will close for a day as protest
against conditions under which they
are expected to operate.
Their chief objection is being di-
rected against the prohibition of
price quotations based on the gold
unit.
The retailers assert that they are
unable to replenish their stocks un-
der existing conditions, and. mas
much as they are being obliged to
pay wholesalers and jobbers on the
basis of the so-called stabilized
mark" they are now demanding SIM
liar accommodations in their deal
inGs with the public
Many shops throughout the city
already have shut down, barricading
their doors and emptying the shop
windows of all display ..
In the meanwhile the government
is making hectic efforts to prevent
the situation from lapslng into a
state of unredeemable chaos and is
fastening its program of tax and
financial measures.
Once the government succeeds in
putting its reform measures into
practical operation. private trade and
commerce are expected to adapt
themselves to the new order, thus
completing the job of permanently
jettisoning the paper mark.

NEW YORK, August S.-The cotton

provement in the weather and crop

OF showers at a couple of points in
Texas, and after opening easy at a
ket sold about "a to 80 points below
yesterdays closing quotations. The
disposition to take profits on long
cotton after the recent rapid advance
was promoted by the relatively e5sy
Liverpool cables and unfavorable
European news, but there was a good
deal of covering around 1880 for
October and 23.42 for January.
NEW ORLEANS, August 8-Poor
cables and reports of scattered show
ers in Oklahoma caused a DROP of
"a to 80 points in the price of cotton
soon after the opening today. Sup
port was offered because of eXpecta-
tions Of unfavorable weekly crop re-
ports, and at the end of the first hour
the trading months were back within

OF the committee which was appointed
by L. V. Nicholas, president of the

Mr.. Mcguire in appointing the COM
mittees urged that the chairmen call

This was urged because of what was
described as the unprecedented supply
of crude oil now on the market
caused by overproduction in Cali
fornia. and the fact that some remedy
must be arrived at in order to dissi-
pate it.
The information desired from the
committee on refining will be derived
largely from expert reports to be OBJ

gasoline refinery under existing con-
ditionS, il was said.
Marketing costs to be arrived at will
be based on identical methods of ac-

COFFEE FUTURES SHOW
ADVANCED QUOTATIONS

NEW YORK, August S.-There was
a further advance in the market for
coffee futures here owing to the con-

The opening was five to eleven points
higher, and active months sold eleven
to twenty-one points above yester-
days closing quotations. with Septem-
Der touching $50 and March 7.6O. 1t
was suggested in some quarters that
the higher Santos cables might re-
fleet expectations of renewed valori-
zation support, but the advance there
was more generally attributed to
covering by trade shorts and the re-
cent reports of frost damage in the
interior. Closing prices were within
a point or two of the best. showing
net advances of 10 to 21 points.
