GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The. market opened weak under influence of hedg- ing pressure and lower cables, Liver pool opening 2hd to Sd lower and clos ing 2%d lower. Good buying developed later, advancing prices Pc to 3c from the low. The advance was led by Winnipeg, which advanced 2c to Sc, influenced by more evidence of rust in Manitoba.
 The market sold off toward the close, but on the whole acts strong and sem timent prevails that, although there may be such setbacks, higher prices will be seen.
 Corn: Sentiment is mixed, but the market gained moderately after a weak opening on scattered liquidation and later declined, especially in December and May. Weather is generally favor able for the progress of the crop, but reports as to condition vary from poor to good. Cash corn and September delivery showed more strength than de- ferred deliveriess
 Oats: The market was relatively stronger than corn. The spread between the two grains was slightly narrowed. Cash oats are in light supply and firm. Heavy rains caused much lodging of the standing grain.-H. and B. Beer to J. K. Willingham & Co.

WHEAT SUFFERS PRICE COLLAPSE Late Heavy Offerings Find Market Without
 Adequate Support

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Wheat pric@ underwent something of collapse at the last today after an advance due largely to assertions that purchasers for shipments to Europe had been made on big scale. Heavy offerings which suddenly developed found the market without adequate support. Wheat clos> ing quotations were weak % to1asc net lower, September $1.27h to $1.27A and December $1.31 to $1.31k. Corn finished unchanged to 1Ac lower, oats varying from Bc off to Hc gain and provisions at to7 7c decline.
 Much of the late selling was an at- tempt to realize profits, an effort made the more urgent perhaps by the fact that the United States government will issue its August crop report tomorrow. This report is generally expected to contain estimates of domestic produc- tion materially larger than in July. A good deal of the late selling consist ed also of hedging against newly har- vested wheat, whereas hedging had been light earlier in the day before the market advanced.
 It was estimated that wheat export business today totalled 100000 bush- els, chiefly United States wheat. Be- sides, bullish estimates of world supplies of wheat were current, the total being figured at 3,0S0,00000O bushels as against 3,430,000,00O bushels a year ago. Advices pointing to increased de- .velopment of black rust in Manitoba' also were responsible for the transient upturn in values.
 Corn and oats were chiefly swayed by the action of wheat. Favorable crop reports as to corn received only seSR ondary consideration and the same was true in regard to rains delaying the oats harvest
 Provisions eased with grain and hogs.

EUROPEAN BONDS REACH NEW PEAK Upward Movement Runs Counter To Trend Of
 Other Issues

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Prospects for negotiations this week of a European settlement on separations today lifted French, Belgian and Austrian bonds to the highest prices of the year. The upward movement in these issues ran counter to the trend of other bonds and of the foreign exchanges, which hereto fore have reflected the progress of the London conference.
 Accumulation of the foreign obli- gations was sufficient to carry total bond sales to about $1S,000,000, the largest volume Sin several weeks. The French government 71as and Ss selling about 1h points higher, establlsll,,. new high levels at 103as and 1061a, respectively.
 Other 1924 records included Belgian 71as and Ss, Austrian Is, Czechoslovak Ss and and Seine, Boredoux, Lyons. Marseilles, Soissons and Paris-Lyons- Mediterranean issues, all up IA to 215 pniots.
 Trading was dull in the domestic list and prices failed to establish a definite trend. Advances of Western Pacific 5s, Norfolk and Western '6s, and Erie prior lien As were offset by the heaviness of Atchison adjustment 4s stamped and the Wilson issues.
 Negotiations were reported to be pending for another loan to the Dom- nican republic, probably between $10,- 100000 and $15,OOO,00O. Within the next fortnight, sales of $40,000,000 in state and municipal bond issues are ex- pected.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.-Thes cot ton market was very cratic today and prices fluctuated over a wide range and without definite trend, being con trolled entirely by weather advices, In the early trading, prices advanced on shorts covering and fair speculative and trade buying until values reached level more than $2.50 above the previous close. October traded up to 27.97c during the first hour and De- cember reached 27.Ssc. or 52 to 54 points above yesterdays close. October later declined to 27.0Sc and December also to 27.0Sc, or 80 to S9 points down from the highs. There was quite a sharp rally in the last moments of trading on covering and the close showed net loss@ for the day of only 4 to Il points.
 A forecast for showers and cooler weather in the more northerly portions of the western belt and a rather more favorable weekly weather report than looked for started a rather rapid de- cline; and, although there was quite a sharp temporary rally around nooYi the market turned weak again in the afternoon on reports of .uite general showers in Oklahoma.
 The temperature record showed 22 stations in Texas with maximum tenn peratures yesterday of 100 to 1O6 de- grees, and 20 stations in Oklahoma with 100 to 1O3 degrees.

COTTON LOSES EARLY ADVANCE Realizing Is Inspired By Prospects For Break
 In Drought

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-An. early ad- vance of nearly half cent in the cot ton market today was followed by re actions on realizing inspride by better prospects for break in the southwest ern drouth. October contracts declined from 2S.73c to 2892c, or 3 points net lower, but part of the loss was recovered in the late trading. That delivery closed at 28.20c with, the general market closing steady, net 1 point higher to 6 points lower. eS
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of IA to 28 points and showed considerable strength early on the high CT Liverpool cables, anxiety over south western crop progress, further cOYer- ing and some buying which appeared to be for trade account. December sold up to 28.07c with the general market showing net advances of 43 to AS points but at these levels, the more urgent demand was supplied. Prices were easier at midday on better wealth CT and crop news.
 The weekly report of the weather bu- reau was considered favorable, while the official forecast was fro lower tenn Ieratures with showers in the south west.
 There was furry of selling early in the afternoon on private reports of showers in Oklahoma. December broke to 27.30c,t with the market at one time showing net losses of 30 to 32 points but there was considerable buying on a scale down and last prices were sey- eral points up from the lowest on GOV ering. f
 Port receipts were 3,096 and United States port stocks 217,619 bales. Ex- ports 1,535 bales, making 17,185 so far this season.

STOCK MARKET
 ON DOWNGRADE Profit Taking Sales Inter- rupt Upward Move
 ment Of Prices

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Profit taking sales , again interrupted the upward movement of prices in today's stock market which closed irregulariy lower. Many operators Oh the long side showed disposition to suspend operations un- til the realizing sales had run their course, which probably accounted for the total sales falling below the million share mark for the first time, in three weeks.
 Favorable news developments were again disregarded. There included cable dispatches indicating "a concilia- toy attitude on the part of the Ger man delegates at che Londan repara- fiQrs conference and publication of the weekly steel trade reviews reporting further signs of improvement in that industry.
 Despite the prevalence of reactionary Stendencies, more than a dozen issues 1advanced to newdtligh prics for the year, including Consolidated Gas, De- Htroit Edison, Public Service of New Jersey, Pullman company, American { SRadiator, General Motors prior pre- zferred and Central Leather preferred. Standad industries held relatively frm, net losses in United States Steel scemmon, American Can and Baldwin being held to small fractions. DuPont, American Woolen, Republic Steel, Chandler Motors, -Cuyamel Fruit, Fa- mous Players, International Paper, Magma Copper and United States Cast Iron Pipe dropped 1 to 2 points. Rails developed several independent strong spots. Pittsburg and West Vir- lginia common and preferred, Lackawan- ma and Delaware and Hudson all broke through their previous high prices of the Syear, the net gains ranging from to &2h points. M 6aN
 Norfolk and Western was run up nearly 3 points but forfeited about half of it's gain in the late reaction.
 Persistent rumors of unfavorable dividend action caused a further break of nearly 5 points in Atlantic Refining. HOther oils held relatively. steady in aspite of the unfavorabae production
 tatistics covering last week.
 Y A bullish' demonstratioa in National Lead, which sent that stock up points, Ito 153, revived reports of a stock divi- Adend. Other strong spots included American Radiator, Amefican Foreign Power certifi ates, Federal Light and Traction. Indian Motorcycle and West Sern Union, up to 31s points. Fisher Body broke 17 points and then rallied D Non q few sales.
 S Call money again ruled at 2 per 8cent. The time money and commercial paper markets were quiet with rates un- changed.
 Foreign exchange rates sturned reac- tionary with trading quiet. Demand sterling eased to around $4.45A and French francs again sold below 555c.

was reported from Texas by the local weather bureau.
 Next Friday, Aug. 8. at 10 a. m., New Orleans time, the government will issue reports as 10 the condition of the growing crop as of August l, the ia- dicated yield and ginnings to August L Total glnnings to August last year were 64,s1s bales. If the government indicated yield is 12.45O.OOO bales or larger, the market will likely decline temporarily and probably advance if the prediction Is for crop of 100000 bales or less. Meanwhile. the market will probably be influenced by weather developments in Texas and probably will rule easier if any rains of conse- quence occur, and perhaps rule steadler, probably higher, if the Texas drought continues.--H. and B.

What Sam Found By Looking About

Building for the future means something definite to Sam Moeller-not just dreaming and wishing but DOING.
 Sam means to get ahead in the world, and he is starting right by saving money and pill ing up a reserve that he can use later on.
 Being shrewd, Sam looked about for, a savings-investment where his money would always be handy, and still bring him a good return. This double re- quirement is happily met by the Gold Notes of the Trustees Loan 6 Guaranty Co.
 Ten years of efficient serv- ice to the community has made this company we'll known to Bir- mingham. The Gold Notes are typical of this service. They bear 6 per cent interest, are con vertible into cash on agreed in- terest dates, and may be had in convenient denominations from S25 to $1,OOO.
 A good many thrifty persons beside Sam have found their good points and are buying them.
