Net gains in popular issues ranged from one to five points. Total sales approximated 700,000 shares. NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Consider- able irregularity developed at the opening of today’s stock market with trading again restricted by the absence of many operators over the Labor Day holiday. Congoleum ad- vanced a point on announcement that the recent merger would not involve any new stock offerings. Unions Tank Car dropped. United States Steel common and American Can opened fractionally higher. Price movements continued mixed, although the main trend appeared to be upward. Heavy selling of ie Pan-American issues, which lost about two points each, reflected Speculative disappointment over the earnings for the first six months. There was a good demand for the steel shares, with U. 8, Steel com- mon, Gulf States, Crucible and Colo- rado, Fuel moving up a point or more. American Ice, which was weak yesterday, snapped back three points €@nd the Pressed Steel Car issues climbed two points. Frisco preferred, United States Cast Iron Pipe, American Can, and American Rad'ator moved up a point. For- eign exchange rates held steady with trading quiet, pending the Ger- man reichstag's vote on the London ugreement on the Dawes plan. The morning market was a two sided affair. Further selling of the Pan-American issues carried them down four points. While the com- pany earned $2.93 a shace in the first half of the year, Wall street had ex- pected that the net would approxi- mate $4 a share for the full year's dividend requirements in that period. Steady accumulation was noted in the beking issues, Loose Wiles ad- vancing 3 points and Cushman breaking through ta a new 1924 top. ‘Tie Maxwell Motor issues and North American company also established new peak prices. Early strength of the steel and equipment shares was in anticipation of heavy orders from the large railroads. Frisco prefer- red moved up 2 points but Rock Is- land was heavy. American Ice ex- tended its early gain to 5 points and pressed stecl car to four. Call money again renewed at 2 percent. The decline in the Pan-Americans was halted in mid-afternoon and buying of other stocks became of a more diversified character, Ana- conda, Marine preferred, Mack Truck, International Harvester, Ameriean Hide and Leather pre: Canadian Pacific, St. Paul and Atlantic Coast Line the upward movement. in the previously strong res were largely'extended, Ameri- can Can, United States ‘Cast Iron Pipe, Gulf States Steel and Con- §, clal paper, 3% @3%. tember: $3. $104, goleum. getting up two to three points and Genera) Electric 5%. ~The closing was strong.

Livestock :: All Markets CORN SLUMPS, [Railroad Earnings Due For Substantial - Gains WHEAT HIGHER Cold Weather Reports From Canada Strengthen Wheat Demand CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Wheat dis- Played an upward tendency at the Start today largely because of higher quotations in Liverpool and on re- ports that the crop in Parts of Argentina show deterioriation, rain being urgently needed. It was point- ed eut that any material damage to the crap in the argentine would change the world's statistical posi- tion materially. Houses with north- western connections and cash in- terests were good buyers at the outset and the advance was easily attained. On the bulge, however, a g00d class of selling was brought out and the best figures were not main- tained. After starting at %c to 2 3-8 advance, with September $1.24 to $1.25 and December $1,28% to $1.30, the wheat market suffered a slight general setback. Subsequently cold weather talk from Canada, based on the weather forecast brought out some renewed buying and the market recovered most of its loss. The close was 1% to 2c net higher with September $1.24% to $1.24% and December $1.29% to $1.29%. Corn lacked the snap which has ben prevalent for the past week, the market showing independent weak- ness. After starting at unchanged fgiures to 1%c higher, December $1.14% to $1.15, the market sag- ged a trifle and then declined lower than yesterday's finjsh. Increased selling in the way of Profit taking brought about a re- action, but only fractional gains were made. The close was weak, ata net loss of % to 1%c, with De- cember $1.12% to $1.13. Oats sympathized with other grain, opening at % to 78c ddvance, Le- cember 53% to 54 and later dropping |; below the previous close. Provisions were firm in line with an advance in the price of hogs.

AAILROAD BILL PASSED TODAY (Continued ffom Page One.) ally conceding that there was at least an even chance for adoption of the London agreement. Chancel‘or Marx, in a final ap- peal this morning for acceptance of the pact. suggested that the reso- lutions which the nationalists had submitted yesterday would be amended so as to enable the gov- ernment to support them. The resolutions which Chancellor Marx urged might be changed tn form to permit government support were introduced by the nationalists yesterday in an effort to find a loop hole which would enable them to vote for the Dawes plan bills with- out loss of prestige. One of these resolutions stipulated that the. London pact shall only en- ter into force when internationa) guarantees are given Germany that the region not occupied by virtue of the Versailles treaty shall be evacu- ated by August, 1925. Another resolution is to the ef- fect that the London pact shall not be considered in force until the Ger- man, government has officially re pudiated the admission of war gullt contained in the treaty of Versailles. A third resolution would instruct the government to demand within two years the re-examination of Ger- many's capacity ty pay, the object being to reduce the obligation laid down in the Dawes plan. After the debate yesterday the government seems assured of the necesrary majority for the banking and industrial debenture bi‘la but success in getting the two-thirds vote required for the railway meas- ure seemed problematic.

Bran $25, (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Larger earnings for the raflroads are in im- mediate prospect. During summer, freight traffic took a drop with con- went effect on revenues, but the busiest time of the year now is get- ting under way and the seasonal tendency upward seems Ikely to be augmented by crop movements, transportation of coal and the gen- eral revival of industrial activity, which always presages an increase in freight shipments. Railroads now have an ample sur: plus of locomotives and freight cara in repair to gare for any expansion of traffic that may be expected. The betterment of business for the car- riers will be multiplied by the fact that it wil be accompanted by lower operating costs in some departments. This increase in efficiency has been especially marked in the average number of cars moved in each freight train and the heavier loading of each car. Latest figures available show that an average of over 42 cars are being moved in each freight train of the main carriers of the country, while the records of some individual roads show an average of above 48 cars per train. These figures compare with a gen- eral average of 36.6 cars in 1920 and 39.9 in 1923. Even a small increas in each train load means a saving of many mil- lions in operating expens: be judged from the fact t! roads had handled only the same number of cars per train this year as in 1923, they would have had to run those trains nearly 14 milion more miles than they did to handle the business. St. Peters Dome Is Safe; Declare the Sampietrini By THOMAS B. MORGAN (United Press Staff Correspondent) ROMB, Aug. 29.—(United Press). —The Sampletrini have declared to the United Press that the gigantic Michelangelo dome of St. Peter's is absolutely safe for at least another couple of centuries, If there is any danger in the stu- pendous edifice, the Sampletrini, like rats on a doomed ship, would be the first to leave. The Sampiletrini ato a St. Peter’s institution, charged all down the centuries as long as the great’ basilica existed, with the up- keep. Many of them can count their ancestors back more than g hun- dred years in that same work of re- pairing, cleaning, watching and cher- ishing the greatest construction of all Christendom. The opinion of the Sampletrini is the opinion of those who day in and day out just loll about the columns, ferret in and out the recesses, climb the dome, scale the lantern and take a look out of the gigantic ball which tops the lantern, but which looks from the ground as if it were the size of a basketba'l. If there are any cracks, which would endanger life, the Sampletrin! would be the first to feel it and, following ~ irstinct, would be the first to look after thelr own lives. Seek Tips The thousands of Americans who visit St.’ Peter's annually have all rubbed against the Sampletrini in their “service” uniforms, the blue tunic with pyrple lapels bordered by a thin gold stripe. At every resting place in climbing the cupola there is a Sampiletrino.

Bluege was called out on strikes. Ruel negotiated a beautiful squeeze play, dropping a neat bunt down the first base line, Judge sliding into the plate just after Ruel bunted. Peckinpaugh flied out to Witt to end the inning. Two runs, two hits, no errors, Pipp and Schang singled in succes- sion in the second with one down but ward fanned and Scott ned to McNeely. Bush weakened a'bit in the third and passed Harris and Rice succes vely with two down but Goslin end- ed it by lifting to Scott.
