STOCK MOVEMENT,
STEADILY UPWARD
Prices Forge Ahead for
Week, Despite Profit TAX
ing and Bear Operations.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 22.-Stock
prices forged steadily upward this
week despite a large volume of profit
takings and bear selling, particularly
20 leading industrial stocks attained
another new record high level for all
time, and the average of 20 leading
railroad issues mounted to the high
est level since March, 1917.
Reaching of an agreement for the
funding of the Belgian debt to this
country was one of the outstanding
financial developments of the week.
1t was followed by a slight improve
ment in Belgian exchange and a mod
crate rally in Belgian bonds. Re-
ports of expanding trade, continuance
of easy money and prospects for tax
reduction this Fall were all factors
in the advance in stock prices.
Oil Shares Show Reversal.
Despite further crude oil and gaso-
line price cuts, oil shares showed a
marked reversal in form, rallying
brisl<ly on what appeared to be the
short interest a sharp reduction in
crude oil output last week and a grow
ing belief in the oil trade that no fur
ther downward revision of prices was
likely attracted fresh buying into
these issues.
Although the weekly steel trade re-
views failed to disclose any marked
Improvement in forward business, the
steel shares nevertheless developed a
firm tone on the theory that expand
ing mill operations and stiffening
price tendencies for certain iron and
steel products would be favorably re-
fected in third quarter earnings
statements.
Coppers responded to the hardening
tendency of red metal prices and the
publication of report showing that
copper stocks on hand were the low
est of any time since the war.
American Smelling led the advance
in that group by crossing 112 TO the
highest price since 1916. A good de
mand was also noted in other non-fer-
rous metal stocks.
Spectacular Advances Noted.
Spectacular advances again took
place in some of the high-priced pub

issues and other specialties. Ha-

WHEAT YIELD GAINS,
ESTIMATES REVEAL
Department of Agriculture Reports
100000 Bushels for Year
in % Countries.

Wheat production in % counties re-
ported up to August 10 amounts to
2.222 900 900 bushels against 2,156.-
600 900 bushels for the same countries
last year. according to information
received by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. These countries
represent about SO per cent of the
Northern Hemisphere crop outside of
Russia and China and ~ per cent of
the world crop outside of Russia and
China
Grain crops in the Southern Hemi-
sphere are pormising and a record
acreage is indicated. 1t is still sew
eraI months, however. until the be-
ginning of harvest in these countries
and the outturn of the crop will de
pend largely upon favorable growing
conditions during September and Oc-
tober. Argentina's preliminary re-
port of 18, 100000 acres sown to
wheat is the largest acreage recorded
for that country.
No official estimate is yet available
for the total acreage of Australia, but
information from private sources indi-
Gates an acreage as large as that of
1924-25, with probably slight increases
in some sections. Last year. the har-
vested area was estimated at 10. 0.755 900
acres, which was considerably above
that of any preceding year with the
exception of the war years 1856 and
1867.
The condition of the Argentine
wheat crop is considerably above
average. Although seasonal dry
weather has prevailed for the past
few weeks, the moisture supply is sat
isfactory as a result of unusually
heavy rains several weeks ago. Aus
tralian conditions have continued fa-
vorable, the crop is well advanced and
the plants are healthy and strong.
The Polish wheat estimate has been
raised slightly, while the rye esti-
mate is below the previous forecast.
The reduction in the rye crop of Po-
land, however, is offset by an increase
in the Lithuanian rye crop.

Women Classed as Game Traders.

Brokers say that women are game
traders. They take their loss or gain
without comment, are not weeperS or
kickers-in fact, they are just as safe
and reliable as any of the men, it is
held.
Woman investors have their ad-
visers. as a rule, and give a more or
less thorough examination to stocks
or bonds taken on for the dividend or

PAY LESS FOR COAL.
Railroads Report Decrease in Cost
Per Ton in June.

Figures compiled by the Bureau of
Coal Economics of the National
Coal Association, from the monthly
reports of class 1 railroads to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
show that the cost of coal, including
freight charges paid thereon, used by
those railroads in locomotives in
transportation train service during
the month of June was slightly lower
than in May.
The averages per net ton for June
are as follows: Eastern district, S2.73;
Southern district, S219; Western dis
trict, $3.04; the United States, $2.7o.
These averages represent a decrease
from May of s0.06 per ton in the
Eastern and Southern districts, and
a decrease Of 5000 per net ton
throughout the whole country.
Comparison with similar figures for
June, 1924, reveals a reduction in
average cost of $0.36 per ton in the
Eastern district; $041 in the Southern
district; $0.21 in the Western dis
trict, and $0.32 for the entire United
States.
