SALE PRESSURE
TOO GREAT FOR
BULL M AR KET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 QP-The long
expected technical reaction took place
in today's stock market. Although
Speculators for the advance endeavored
TO maintain bullish enthusiasm by
marking up recent favorites, the pres
sure of offerings became too great
for them to absorb and prices gen.
orally fell back l to points, with a
few declines running as much as 4
to nearly points. The decline was
generally characterized as a correction
of a top heavy speculative position.
With the exception of sugar, which
was firm, all the leading commodity
markets also displayed a slightly re-
dictionary tendency.
The days trade news was rather
colorleSS in character The weekly
steel trade reviews stated that August
production was at about the July level.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Aug. 81 H9-Faced by
possible big deliveries here tomorrow
and by uncertainty over monthly pri-
vate crop reports, wheat today finished
at the lowest level in many weeks.
Closing quotations on wheat were un-
settled at u cent to 1as cents net de-
cline, corn cent to IL cents down,
oats unchanged to " cent off, and
provisions varying from 26 cent drop
to a rise of 2 cents.
Most traders expected that wheat
deliveries in Chicago tomorrow on
September contracts would amount to
between 100000 and 100000 bushels.
There was also rather general eXpecta-
ton that monthly unofficial estimates
of the domestic wheat yield would
prove bearish, and that some Canadian
crop figures which were also in pros
pect would likewise favor the bear
side. Unexpected weakness of the
Liverpool market today counted fur
ther as a weight on values here. being
associated with British forecast that
world import requirements this season
would total 748,0O0,000 bushels against
792,OOO,O0O bushels last year.
On the other hand advices were
current that frost damage in Canada
has been severe over large sections,
and that thousands of acres of low
lands will not pay to harvest. Com
bined injury by frost and rust in some
districts wef3 reported as amounting
to fully SO per cent.
There was also news from Europe
that bad weather up to the last few
days had caused considerable harm.
Scattered liquidating sales here, how
ever. were again in evidence, and at
the windup there was no particular
rally.
In corn and oats, as well as in wheat,
rallies failed to hold. Corn crop COM
ments were somewhat more beariSh,
and it was general gossip that trade
reports to be given out tomorrow would
show fairly good sized increase OF
indicated yields of corn.
Provisions showed a downward ten
dency, despite an upturn in hog
values.

COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 R-Liquid-
alton in the cotton market continued
today with a further decline in prices.
Smaller private crop estimates and
unfavorable features in the weather
news seemed to bring in considerable
buying on the declines, but selling
increased on the bulges, giving the
market a very nervous and unsettled
appearance.
After selling off to 22.45 at the start,
December rallied to 22.88, or 30 points
net higher, but broke into new low
ground for the movement during mid
afternoon, with later fluctuations irreg-
ular.
Spot quiet; middling 22.4O. Close:

English Middle Class
Hard to Define

LONDON, P-Buildefs who are
competing for the honor Of planning
the best "middle-class" house are
having a hard time trying to decide
what "middle-c class" is.
Not long ago Lady Rhondda,
peeress in her own right, business
woman of marvellous skill and prob
ably the richest woman in Great
Britain, declared she belongs to the
"niddle-class.
On the other hand wealthy busi-
ness men who waxed fat during the
war are .resenting the implication
that they belong to the middle
class" and declare that it is badge
of inferiority.
The "middle-class" seems to be
such an indefinite term in Great
Britain that the Forthcoming build
ing trades exposition, in Birming-
ham, where the ideal ''middle-class"
houses are to be shown, is awaited
with interest.

but they encountered heavy profit

have been due to commission house

Time money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged.
A spirited rally of more than 20
points in Norwegian krone to around
26.15 cents overshadowed all other de-
velopments in today's foreign exchange
market. The demand for the Nor
wegian currency is believed to have
arisen from trapped short interest,
apparently alarmed by reports of the
country's early sreturne to the gold
standard. Demand sterling was Slight

francs ruled firm just under 3.92c.

Children of Lepers
Saued From Disease

In 1925 a plan for saving the unin-
fected children of the Cuilon leper
colony In the Philippines was instt-
tuted by the Office of the public well
fare commissioner at Manila. In order
to prevent these children contracting
leprosy from their parents they are re-
moved from the colony and placed In
institutions or private homes. BY JAN
uary, 1925. 2S5 children under fifteen
years of age had been removed.
The youngest children are cared for
In public nursery near Culion, and
If 1t is not possible to place the older
ones with relatives or friends they are
pu< in institutions where their care
can be supervised by the office of the
commissioner. Periodical health ex-
aminations are given to detect any
early signs Of leprOsy which may ap-
pear. School training Is provided, and
as far as possible the children are be-
Ing prepared for happy, useful lives.
They are encouraged to correspond
with their parents, who are advised by
monthly reports from the institutions
Of their children's progress.
The discovery of cure for leprosy
makes possible the hope that the chill
dren may eventually be restored to
their parents.
