NEW YORK, August 17.-Stocks
turned in a spotty performance to-
day. with most Of the leaders fitting
backward fractions TO a point or
more.
Only few specialties were able 10
emerge with worthwhile advances and
dealings were comparatively quiet.
The close was heavy. Transfers were
around 950,00O shares.
There was a suggestion that the
Spanish civil war may have brought
renewed nervousness among those
Wall Street habitues who are fearful
of possible repercussions from this
strife
A few commentators thought that
further price readjustments we're due
to technical factors connected with
the lengthy advance.
The steels appeared to be unim-
pressed by the official estimate of an
increase in mill operations this week
to 1872 per cent of capacity.
More severe heat in the corn grow
ing districts sent the futures of that
cereal TO the highest levels since 1928,
and some of the so-called farm stocks
were depressed.
Among better acting shares were
Hiram Walker, DiStillers Corp. Sea-
grams, National Distillers and Schen-
ley, Ward Baking, Continental Baking,
Timken-Detroit, International Busi-
ness Machines and International Tele-
phone.
Down as much as a point or more
were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler,
General Motors, Montgomery Ward,
Douglas Aircraft. United Aircraft. ]. 1.

solidated Edison, Loew's. Union Pa
cific, Allis-Chalmers and Standard Oil

Du Pont stiffened after an early de-
cline when directors voted an extra
dividend Of 70 cents, the same as paid
in June.
Goodyear improved on a six months'
statement showing 62 cents on the
common. against only preferred profits
in the same 1885 period.
Corn ended up to cents a bushel,
and wheat gained is to 21s, Bonds

FINANCING Squirt
EXPECTED IN FALL
Underwriting Firms Prepare for
Sharp Autumn Upturn During
Dull Period.
81 the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August l7.-Wall
Street underwriting firms give the
impression they are preparing for q
robust revival in new financing this
Fall. August business has been limited,
but the lull has given distributors an
opportunity to clean their shelves of
securities which failed to move
promptly at offering time.
Experts forsee a great procession of
corporate borrowers to the new capital
market to provide for plant improve
ments and additions. In a number
of industries, it is contended, opera
tionS are close to the outer margin of
capacity, leaving arrangements no
alternative but to spend money for
new equipment.
A large number of new bond issues
are believed to be definitely on the
way. There has been no appreciable
hardening of money rates in connec-
ton with the so per cent boost in
deposit reserves of member banks, and
corporate borrowers naturally are not
disinclined to tap the reservoir of
credit through the medium of low
interest bearing liens.
But investment authorities are also
counting on a wider use of common
stock for supplying capital require
mentS.

NEW YORK. August 17.-Since last
May, hotel food prices have been
steadily rising. The July price aver
age shows an increase Of 0,86 per cent
over June and an increase of 2.79 per
cent over prices paid in May, accord
ing to the latest Hotel Food Price In
dex, compiled monthly by R. M. Grin
stead & Co., hotel analysts and ac-
countants, 285 Madison avenue, New
York City.
Prices in July of last year were 2.69
per cent lower than in May, 1885.
This years reversal of the seasonal
trend Is largely due to the effect of
the drought on the prices of dairy
products, causing an increase over
June of 51a per cent in this division.
July prices were 512 per cent higher
than the average for July Of last year
and stood 7.45 per cent over July,
1884. Meat prices held steady, while
the cost of poultry and salads rose
steadily. Sea food and fruits showed
a normal seasonal decline and in
creases in the prices of several vege-
tables were more than offset by a
sharp decrease in the price Of new
potatoes.
