societies have adopted resolutions
urging the prime minister or some
one, to impress upon young Windsor
that he should not indulge so freely
in this dangerous sport.
1t is known that persons close to
the royal family have often spoken
to the. prince on the subject, and 1t
is known that the royal parents cast
an unswmpa thetic eye upon these
escapades of their offspring. but so
far they appear to get only an equally
unsympathetic RESPONSE. To the
representations OF his friends the
prince only laughs.
1t is thought by many that the pre-
mier and his cabinet will step in and
gently but firmly inform the prince
privately that he cannot take the
same risks as other men and that
they will frown upon any more such
reckless riding.

COFFEE FUTURES

NEW YORK. Aug. 14--Coffee futures were higher today on covering by trade and speculative shorts, influenced by reports from Brazil that estimates of the current crop were being reduced and that coming crop prospects were less favorable, owing to drought conditions and frost in Sac Paulo. The market opened unchanged to IT pointss higher and closed at net advances of 50 to 7S points. December sold up to 14.60c. Sales were estimated at 66,O0O.

COOL WEATHER
 HOLSTERS CORN All Deliveries Ascend To TOprnost Prices Of
 The Season

CHICAGO, Aug 14.--Abnormaily cool weather for mid-August, accompanied by light frosts In Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, lifted all deliveries oi corn today to the topmost prices yet this season. Heavy profit-taking sales 5ensued, however, and the corn market closed unsettled at 1hc to Pc net gain, December at $1.10h Q11o%. Wheat fin ished firm and unchanged to %c off, September at $1.27% @1.2s, and Decem- Der at $1.31ss @1S1%, with oats un- changed to %@Mc up and provisions showing 7c to 12c advance.
 with the corn crop as a whole un- usually late and with the need of high temperatures thus greatly emphasized, an additional day of chilly weather was taken by many traders as pointing to increased likelihood of a much cur tailed yield. Notwithstanding that no immediate positive damage resulted from frost, the suggestion of danger that much of the crop would never reach maturity led to an active buying movement, which derived further im- petus from the circumstance that coun- try offerings to arrive were meaEer.
 Difficulty of accommodating a stock of corn here was made apparent by re- ports that other cities were out-badding Chicago in territory that as a rule sends all shipments to this market. In- dianapoIis and Louisville were in par ticular mentioned as sharply competing with Chicago for supplies. The oats market was governed mostly by the ac- tion of corn.
 Chances of frost in Canada tonight, together with the notable strength of corn, helped to rally the wheat market from declines due more or less to lower quotations at Liverpool and to some thing of a pause in export demand.
 Provisions went up with corn and hogs.

CURE EXCHANGE

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.--Under the leadership of the copper mining shares, stock prices registered moderate in- provement on the New York Curb mar ket today. Following establishment of new high records by copper issues on the New York Stock exchange, broad enfng inquiry developed for various curb stocks, including Hecla, United Verde extension and some of the low priced shares.
 Announcement of another increase in weekly crude oil production influenced some liquidation of the oil stocks. Con- siderable resistance, however, was of fered to selling pressure and prices later developed a hardening tendency. Lago Petroleum was active. around recent high levels Magnolia Petroleum led the Standard oil group with a gain of 2 points, with Standard Oil of Kansas moving up point.
 Industrial issues showed an upward trendg with principal activity centered in the coal stocks Lehigh Valley Coal certificates advanced a point to above fl and other shares in this group also improved.

BONDS RESTRAINT ON ALLIED HITCH Interest Develops In Rail- road Liens, But No
 Roadway Made

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Bond prices hesitated today. although a number Of independent strong spots were scattered throughout the list. European obliga- tions, following the trend of the for eign exchange, marked time, awaiting solution of the latest problem confront ing the inter-aliied conference on q time limit for military evacuation of the Ruhr.
 Buying interest developed in a num- Der of railroad liens, but this group as whole failed to make any headway. Wheeling and Lake Erie issyies were under accumulation on reports that the road might be acquired by either the New York Central or the Van Sweren- gen interests for their new Nickel Plate system. Frisco bonds were active de- spite official denials that formal action would be taken on recapitalization plans next week.
 With allotments of the new Baltimore and Ohio issues reduced to 15 per cent of subscriptions the prior Hens 3hss which may be exchanged for the 5 per cent bonds, were eagerly sought above par. The new bonds also sold at . premium in trading on the New York Curb market. Offering of $5.0O0s000' Rock Island per cent notes today met with quick response, the entire issue being sold early in the day.
 Moderate improvement was registered by industrial liens. Derry, after de- clining 2 points, rebounded 4. closing with a net gain of points. Pierce Arrow Ss scored similar gain and Wickwire Spencer Is were Q point higher

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14.-The cot ton market, though fluctuating freely enough, showed generally an upward trend and at one time during the day was more than $3 a bale above the closing levels of yesterday. Values showed an upward tendency, due to ac- tive buying by large speculative inter ests as well as to the report that the Germans had agreed to the French terms for the evacuation of the Ruhr. Owing to Liverpool coming in much better than due, the local market opened higher, and within a short time of the opening October traded as high as 26.S5c and December at 26.92c, or 45 to 49 points above yesterdays close. Later in Sne morning, when the official report had confirmed the Texas rains, prices eased off to 26.42c for October and 26.48c for December, or 43 to A points down from the initial high and within 2 to points of the previous close. The afternoon rally on the Ruhr report carried all active months to new high levels for the day, with October at 27.03c and December at 27.05c, or 62 to 63 points above the previous close. Some of this gain was lost in the late trading and the close showed snet gains for the day of S5 to 40 points,.

 CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 14.-(Special) Iron Trade Review today says:
 Recovery of the steel market con tifHes, but it's progress is decidedly slow. rae volume of buying has increased slightly, the rate of mill and furnace operations has more than held the ground gained last week and inquiries are encouraging.
 The record of untitled orders Is par ticularly significant, because of the comparison that can be made with con- ditions existing in 1921. In that year, a decline of 364,619 tons was recorded in June, a recession of 287,544 in July, 29S, 39s in August and gain of 2s'744 in September. In 1924, the decline in May, June and July has been 5S0,35S tons, ,5s4 tons and 75,43S tons, respective .S. This precipitous reduction, coupled with the fact that the total of untitled orders on July 31 is the smallest on record since May, 1911, is regarded as an indication the turn Is near.
 neteadiness marks the improvement in pig iron demand. Prices are firm in all market districts, with the exception of Birmingham and Cincinnati. No. , foundry and malleable have advanced to ,S20.50 at Chicago and the restoration of silicon differentials is resulting in higher quotations on iron from Buffalo furnaces.
 StFuclural aWafuS represent ISSS IOh- mage than last week and railroad buy f4g has reIapsed into relative inactivity. Exceptions are found in an inquiry for 1000 tons for railroad bridge work, three inquiries for a total of 1000 steel car underframes and five contracts pending which involve about 1S,000 tons Of shapes for buildings. The railroads are releasing some of their suspended rail contracts and talk is heard of plac- ing 1925 requirements.
 Lower prices of certain finished steel products are more than offset by the firmer position of pig iron, resulting in an increase in Iron Trade Review com posife for the first time since February d, 1924. The composite stands at S39.31, s compared with. figure of sS9.g9 for 1ast week,

COTTON FALLS
 ON RAIN REPORT Firms Up Later On Fa-
 vOrable Construction Of European News

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Reports of ad- ditional rains in the southwest caused sharp reactions from today's opening advance in the cotton market, but prices firmed up again later on doubt of their sufficiency; and a favorable construc- ton of the European political news. October contracts, which had sold off from 27.75c to 27.25c, rallied to N.90c, but met a good deal of realizing at this figure and closed at 27.65c. The gem eral market closed barely steady at net advances of 35 to 4S points.
 The market opened fir mat an ad- vance of 24 to 35 points and sold 47 to 5S points net higher during the early trading on covering and local buying promoted by trelativeIy firm Liverpool cables and uncertainty as to whether there had been sufficient rain in the southwest. Offerings increased around 27.22c for December, however, ern hedge selling, and the market weak ened around midday on detailed weather reports showing precipitation at 25 out of 50 stations reporting in Texas.
 Prices lost all but a few points of their earlier gain, but offerings tapered off very noticeably around 26.72c for DcCGknpCEp 4uQ tue ildEkCt tuEuSA up ward on Wall street and western buy ing and covering by some of the earlier sellers, who appeared to be influenced by a belief that the ruling of foreign exchanges and the stock market fore shadowed an early settlement, of repa- rations. Prices made new highs for the day before this demand was sup piled, with December selling at 27.30c, and the advance was promoted by re- ports of firm market for August ship ment cotton in the southwest. Last prices were 20 to 25 points off from the best under renewed liquidation.
 The census report showing domestic consumption of S64,671 bales for July was about as expected. Exports today 619 bales, making 46,714 bales so far this season. Port receipts, 4,555 bales. United States port stocks, 21S,4 bales.
