MARKET CLOSES EASY.
Higher Call Money Cause OF Selling
At Finish.

NEW YORK, August "a CP).-Alter-
nate periods of heaviness and strength
characterized today's stock market.
An outburst of strength in the early
trading lifted more than 80 issues to
new peak prices for the year. but sub
sequent profit taking and bear sell
ing, apparently based on the theory
that the market was entitled to at
least technical reaction" brought
about sharp declines from the earlier
high levels. Total sales approx
mated 1,450,00 shares.
The closing was easy. Marking up
of the call money rate to Az per cent
brought about a renewal of selling
pressure in the late trading, many of
the earlier gains being wiped out.

on Motor Shares.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 24-The week
on the Stock Exchange opened with
the price movement uncertain and no
indication of a change in sentiment.
The decline in a number of stocks
which had been bid up sharply last
week might have been attributed to
the growing concern over the week
end about the technical position of the
share list. On the other hand, there
were numerous new high records and
gains of l TO points.
United States Steel common reached
a new top for the current movement.
At 125 II was within less than 5 points
OF the best price for the year. Sub
sequenuy, when the general list be-
came unsettled, Steel common fell
back.
Rails at New Highs.
The rails which surpassed their pre-
vious highs for 1925 included st. Louis
Southwestern, Chesapeake and Ohio,
Seaboard Air Line, Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, Kansas City Southern. st.
Louis-San Francisco. Wabash, Hudson
and Manhattan and Western Mary
land. The last named was unusually
active. During the present week the
July revenue statements will be pub
lished, and these are expected TO make
a favorable impression. Aside from
the stocks which rose to their best
prices for the year, Texas and Pacific.
Great Western preferred, Western
Maryland second preferred, Western
Pacific, Wheeling and Lake Erie. and

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 24.-In seek
ing explanations to account for the
upturn in the stock market Wall
Street recently has shown a disposi-
ton to base all it's comparisons OF
trade figures with those of a year
ago rather than with conditions pre-
vailing earlier in the year. The re-
suits of this procedure have been to
show business up in a favorable light,
but many in the financial district are
aware that a bear movement could
as easily produce the statistics to ex-
plain a decline in prices. such as the
smaller 1925 wheat crop, the cut in
daily steel output. and the smaller
total of unified tonnage as compared
with the Spring months.

Only Fresh Fruits
Use in Canning Is
asked at Hearing

Pacific coast manufacturers of
fruit preserves advocated the use of
fresh fruits only in the making of
jams, jellies and preserves at
hearing held yesterday by the food
standards committee of the Bureau
of Chemistry, Department of Agri-
culture, which met to determine
definitions and standards for manu-
factured fruit products.
The argument of the coast pre-
servers was challenged by other
manufacturers. who contended that
cold-storage fruit, canned fruit and
even dried fruit should be permit
ted or they would be forced out of
business.
Bureau of Chemistry officials
charged abuse of the use of pectin
in making preserves jell, declaring
that IL had no food value and
should be utilized in minimum quan-
titles. The manufacturers argued
that preserves were not eaten pri.
marily for nourishment. and, since
pectin was harmless, its use should
be permitted.
The committee took the ques-
tions under advisement and will an
nounce findings later.
