...--
 NEW YORK, July 22.-Profit talk ing sales appeared in large volume in todays market, giving it an irregular appearance, but the main Irice trend was again decidedly upward with rails, oils and coppers giving the best demon. stration of group strength Total sales exceeded the million share mark for the sixth consecutive full session..
 'Forty-seven stocks mounted to new rails, 10 metals and 12 miscellaneous industries and speciality issues.
 Promise of American assistance, to Europe, particularly in the Notation of a German loan was an important fac tor in the buying of stocks, especially the issues of companies that would be benefited by economic rehabilitation aboard. Strength of sterling exchange, which crossed $4.41 to new high level for the year, was construed by some ob- servers as an indication that, an agree ment on the reparations problem was much nearer than generally expected.
 Higher copper and zinc prices stimu- lated the buying of metal shares, new high prices being established by Ameri- can Smelling and Refining, Utah, Chile, Kennecott, Cerro De Paseo, and few others. Surplus copper stocks on hand are now estimated at about one months supply.
 Increased public participation in the railroad group was particularly appar- ent in the investment issues, New York Central, Union Pacific, Northern Pa cific, Atlantic Coast Line, Illinois Gen. tral common and preferred, all. better ing their previous 1924 top prices.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, July 22.-Heavy profit t4.IzIDo and professional attempts to hrinr about a reaction failed to cause recessions of any consequence, ana py noon 1t was clearly demonstrated that inc buying power so far on this rise. Tbe rails were generally strongest. Spe- ciaI moves occurred in some of the high nriced specialties, such as General Elec- D trtc and WoolWorth. American Can and Baldwin were exceptionally strong in the face of large selling orders. United States Steel was traded in large stocks were strong, including Ajax, which has been getting active above eight. Oils firmed up again. Pan American "B" was rushed through 51H, at which point there was consid- erable stock hanging over the market. It finally reached 4SA .,o under aa Ouylns o,ynrs ioi1ed the forward movement, sending some of them up a point or more. Prices eased off ust before the close. Volume was very large. Total sales reached 1928, 400 shares.-Fenner & Beane.
 NEW YORK, July 22-The stock market today displayed more trregula lty than it has for a few days. Aside from rather urgent liquidation that ep- oeared in a few Issues, profit-taking was noticeable all through the session Ss a fairly liberal proposition and 1t Is Torthy of note here that the market displayed some remarkable power of 1bsorption. The most Interesting de- velopnnent during the days session was inc strength in the group of oil stocks sn face of price cutting that has been 70 common recently, and the very con spicious action of Pan Petroleum issues. There are no facts before us to Explain this, but there are some suggestions of prospective changes in control and ac- ton of the market lends support to this.-John F! Clark & Go.

PRINCE BEGINS DAY
WITT POLO MATCH
Spends Sunday Away From Bur-
den Home, Dining and
Motoring.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SYOSSET. N. Y, September 1.-The
Prince of Wales began the day with
brisk game of polo on one of the
numerous private fields near his tenn
porary Long Island home. followed
by a luncheon party given in his
honor by Harold B. Pratt in Glen
Cove.
The heir to the British throne spent
yesterday afternoon and much of last
night away from the James A. Bur-
den home, which he is occupying,
sending word that he was motoring
and dining with some friends. He re-
turned at 1880. The prince likes to
follow his whims and to run off in
cognito, accompanied by only one or
two intimateS.
With him on his motor trip, which
began at $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon,
were Maj. Z. d. Metcalfe, his equerry,
and Gen. A. F. Trotter. Maj. Metcalfe
earlier went with the prince to prac-
tice polo, and his highness gave a
thorough workout to his ponies and
Maj Metcalfe before he himself had
had enough. When he set off for the
polo grounds he was logged out in
riding breeches, sweater and an ap-
parently somewhat battered panama
hat.
The prince will attend a dance on
September at the home Of F. Am
brose Clark, near Westbury. A dane
ing floor has been laid on the lawn
Capt. c. F. Lascelles, brother Of Wis.,
count Lascelles, husband of Prin-
cess Mary. was slightly recovered to-
day from a severe chill suffered on
board the Berengaria, and took up
again his duties as one of the princes

Showers May Bring Slight
Relief Tonight to Swell

Thunder showers will bring slight
relief from the present torrid wave
tonight, but much cooler weather
may not be expected before tomorrow

today. 1t is not believed the rain

to, to interfere with thiIafternoon's
The National Capital sweltered
yesterday under A scorching sun and
smoldering humidity that made the
day one of the hottest of the Sum
rer. At o'clock in the afternoon,
when cooler temperatures are ordi-
narily to be expected, the mercury
scared to its highest point when it
touched SO degrees. It's descent was
painfully slow and the city slept with
difficulty.
Today opened up almost as hot,
but the weather forecaSter promised
that the afternoon would be several
degrees cooler than yesterday, at the
most. At II o'clock this morning the
mercury had pushed its way up the
tube to s3 degrees and was still en-
route, with not d welcome breeze
stirring from any direction The
showers and thunder storms that are
expected this evening are to be
purely local of origin.
Three persons were overcome on
the streets here yesterday, and only
the fact that the torrid wave ar
rived on the heels of the usual week
end exodus to bay and river resorts
was Held responsible for such a small
number of prostrations. None were
affected seriously, however, and after
being treated at hospitals were able
to go home.
They were John kamitz, 3202 War
der street, stricken at New York ave-
nue. and Ninth street; Earl Walker
1910 Seventeenth street, overcome at
Georgia avenue and Otis street, and
Frank Carr, 1855 Four and a Half
street southwest, prostrated at Ninth
and l streets.
There were at least three persons,
however, who failed to find the heat
very bad. They We're Francis Hell
wig, William McIntire and Monte
Mead, all about years old. and liv-
ing at 2024 Fourteenth street. The
three left home about 10 o'clock in
the morning and when they had not
returned late in the afternoon their
worried parents appealed to the po-
lice. 1t was somewhat after sundown
when they came trotting home, with
the information that they had spent
the day riding around on an ice
wagon.
