Electricity; in these days of talk about imagination defying super-powe1 projects, Is an increasingly dominant factor in our national home life as well as in the activity of industry. And scientists say that only the surface of possible use for electric power has been scratched.
 The increase in the heighth of each block in the foregoing chart over the preceding block means a thousand and one new methods of making industry more efficient and thus leading to lower costs. Each years increase in electric power production means lights for thousands of additional homes; a thou- sand and one new appliances in use whereby life Is made much more con- venient and worth while. Each years increase means so much more business for the public utility corporation which as group have become one of the big gest of our great industries.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-wheat prices declined to Sc. The heavy selling was influenced by the visible supply statement and more favorable weather in Canada. Visible increased s,646,000 bushels, against 5,941, ,000 bushels a year ago, making the tota1 S,106, 900, against 4s,752000. It should be remembered in this connection that the crop this year is heaviest in the area which con- tribute most largely to the visible sup ply; therefore, the visible should be large in proportion to the size of the crop. Frost damage in Canada did not materialize.
 Corn: There was large mixed trade, with profit-taking on a large scale, declines running into stop-loss orders. Prices declined about 2c, but regained much of this toward the close. Many unfavorable reports are being received indicating that the crop has not ad- vanced in the past two or three weeks as it should. There is no question about the crop being short, but the extent of the shortage is the great un- certainty. Corn may be expected to be 8 weather market for some time.

STOCKS STRONG .
 AS WEEK OPENS
Upward Move Accelerated By Wind-Up Of Lon
 don Conference
By EDWARD J. coNDLoN


 tBy Leased Wire to Age-Herald)
 NEW YORK, Aug. 18.--Moving for ward with dash which was not to be denied by the Spasmodic taking of profits by professionals, the stock mar ket began the week iwith as healthy an exhibition ofs strength as on any occasion since the bull movement started. The market was continue tion of the fresh advance started at the close of last week. The upward movement was accelerated by the his- tory-malSing London conference wind up with its far-reaching effect upon the economic future of Europe.
 The daily averages of 20 leading railroad stocks and 20 leading indus trials scored new highs for the year. and substantial quota of new highs for 1924 were reached by the individ- ual issues, including steel common at III. The coppers were in especially good demand all day.
 ,.s sterIinse Breaks
 The largest fly in the ointment was the break in sterling of nearly cents from Saturdays closing level, due primarily to realizing by speculative buyers acting on the theory that all of the good news on the London con- ference is now out. Francs were side swfped in the movement and dropped below five and one-haff cents.
 The commodity markets certainly did not show an even front. Corn, oats and rye after reaching record highs, reacted with wheat and closed a cent to a cent and three-quarters net lower for the session. Wheat averaged about 25s cents lower for all deliveries on a.poer export demand and an increase S~. kT..- s.xR S,727;000 bushels for this year. The failure of small grain firm in Chi- cago caused some irregularity when prices were at the peak of the day. There seems to be very decided opin- ion held in some quarters that the recent advance of grain, particularly wheat has been toor rapid for the amount of crop damage actually re- ported to date. sD Cotton suffered another rather bad break as the private scrop estimates continue to come forward making the estimated yield more than a million bales larger than the government fig ures. The government crop report, as of August 16, is due at noon, August 8, and must either reaffirm the posi- tions taken for the August 1 estimate or admit the accuracy of the private NopoEls'.t AHo LtAdS A1 PASSShS AS NShS much impressed by the private fig ures, particularly as two old-line cot ton houses have disputed the govern ments estimate.
 One of the most interesting side lights on the present activity of the stock market with its record of rising prices, is the expansion of brokers loars... It is estimated that fully $1,350, 100000 in Brokerst loans is now outstanding, an increase of some $2O,- 0o0,000 since August 1. However, year ago the figure was s1 ,450, 900 900, and the peak for this year $2,0o0. 100000 was reached on February IA.

THE 1924 production of electric en-


 ergy will surpass the best pre-
 vious record of 1923 by a margin of 2 per cent, provided the trend be- tween now and the end of the year Is similar to the trend prevalent during the closing months of the past five years. A decided upward turn of in dustrial activity might make the years record even more outstanding.
 During the five years for which fig ures are available the production of electric energy has increased by leaps and bounds. The 1923 output was A per cent above the production of 1919. According to the estimated output for 1924, as shown in the chart above, this year will show an advance over 1919 of at least 54 per cent. Gains have been steady, except during 1921, and even then the slump could not be compared with the drastic decline in industry as a whole.
