 AS UNTRUTHFUL
Steamship Co. Official Replies to
 Charges Made

Seattle, Wash. Oct. Exchanges of Senator Burton K. Wheeler, in dependent vice presidential candi- date, in addresses in Seattle and Portland that secret freight rate pact exists between the government owned Alaska railroad and the Alaska Steamship company, Mor- gan corporation, were termed hy F.. T. Stannard, vice president of the steamship firm, here as partly mis- statement and partly deliberate falsehood."
 There is nothing new in the gen craI misstatement of facts" de- Clared Mir. Stannard. Tt is pre- sumed that Senator Wheeler has been induced hy John F. BaIaine N.a Toilette state campaign man ager) into publicly making these charges. The Alaska railroad hav- ing no permanent outbound ton- mage and being eager 10 develop some along it's line solicited the haul of ore from the White Pass and Yukon railway, a Canadian Corpo- ration. It requested the movement for the benefit of the new railroad. A new arrangement was put into effect whereby the White Pass and Yukon route would haul it 10 Tan ana which is located on the Yukon river and there the Alaska railroad with its own tugs, could haul it up the Tanana river from Panama 10 Nenana."

WHEAT HINDERED BY PROFIT TAKING
Trades Still Focus Atten- ti0n On Condition Of
 Canadian Crop

CHICAGO, July .24. ~ Although wheat prices today reached new high price records for the season, heavy profit taking sales made the market average lower most of the time, The audiences of recent advances led many traders to look for a reaction, espe- cially as black rust reports from Can ada indicated that the amount of dam age which might be done by rust would depend on weather developments. The close was unsettled, at B to, 1ssc net decline, September, $1.2S1a 1a@1.23%, and December, $1.31A@1.81A, with corn Ito 15sc off, oats 1 to N@1c down, and provisions showing 5 to 25c decline. .&.- ...
 Attention of wheat traders continued to focus chiefly on Canadian crop news, and some of the experts were more em- phatic in the bullish character of their advices, despite assertions from other authorities that by contrast were called bearish. The top prices of the day here were reached about midday on a wave of buying that was associated with a sharp advance at Winnipeg. Increased selling here, however, re- suited from the bulge, and as was the case on numerous quick upturns earlier the market again gave way. At no time, however, were prices as much as 2c under yesteday's finish.
 Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat and by weather favor able for the new corn crop.
 Provisions eased down, sympathizing with grain and hogs.

LOW PRICE RAILS
 FEATURE MARKET
Reported Railroad Merger
 Causes General Up { ward Movement

NEW YORK. July 24.-Steady ac- emulation of the low priced railroad shares which touched their highest prices in years was the feature of to- days active stock market, which, how ever presented an irregular appearance as result of the concerted selling of special issues.
 Pittsburg and West Virginia as- group by moving up nearly three points sumed the leadership of the railroad to new 1924 high at 52%. This road, which is likely to become part of the gigantic Nickel Plate" system be- ing formed by the Van Swerengin in- terests is expected to show a surplus after charges for June in excess of $121, ,439 for June of last year.
 Erie issues gave another remarkable display of strength on reports that the proposed merger of that road with Nickel Plate and Pere Marquette would be taken up by the Van Sweren- gins with George F. Baker, Fries largest individual stockholder, on his return from Europe next week. All three issues sold at their highest prices since 1917, the common touching 35, the first preferred 42 and the second preferred 39%.
 
 large blocks of securities of other rail roads, led the advance in high-grade is- sues by moving up two points to 143B. Other divident payers to sell at their best price of the year were Illinois Gen. tral common and preferred, Lacka- wanna, Baltimore and Ohio and the Pere Marquette preferred issues.
 Omission of the regular quarterly dividend of $1.25 on Bethlehem com mon was not announced until the mar ket closed. This action, while freely predicted in recent weeks, apparently took some persons by surprise as the stock closed IA points higher at 45, after having sold as low as 411s the last week.
 Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, is- sues broke about three points each in response to legal proceedings, charging diversion of funds, brought against that company by the receiver of the Ward line, subsidiary. Heavy trading in trans-contine1tal oil followed publica- tion of a report that new well drilled jointly by it and the Texas company in Craig Field, Colo, was flowing at the rate of 4,700 barrels day.

SELLING ORDERS
 REDUCE COTTON
Violent Breaks Causes Decline Of. 45 To 56
 Points

NEW YORK, July 24.-Although the cotton market started out today with an advance of IA to 51 points, and one of the heaviest trades in October con- tracts on an opening call, it ran into an accumulation of selling orders that precipitated a violent break later in the day, so that the close was barely steady at net decline of 45 to 56 points.
 On the early advance, which carried July up to 35.40c October to 29.55c and December to 2S.65c, there was heavy Wall street and southern buying based continued hot, dry weather all over the southwest. The reactionary movement started about Il o'clock when some of the local weather sharps, became con- vinced that barometer lines in the weather map indicated possible change of conditions in the southwest. This was later confirmed by the official weather forecast, which indicated show CTS in Arkansas, Oklahoma and western Texas. Result was a selling movement that progressed rapidly as the day ad- vanced, until in the late afternoon July was found to have declined 130 points from the top of 3410c and new crops from 115 to 125 points from the top, with October selling as low as 28.40c and December 27.40c.
 The close was only little above the lowest levels of the day. The fact that high temperatures were shown in the weather details throughout all of the southwest states, and that no rain was promised in the official forecast fro east Texas, where it is perhaps most needed, proved to be of no assistance to the bulls in the afternoon as the market was in a technically weak con dition after the advance of about $10 per bale in the last two days.
