FINANCIA | on new vorx BQ)INIS stock excaance] Received by Pri Star Office WEATHER BOTHERS PRODUCE SELLERS Farmers Also Feeling Effect of Hot, Dry Spell—Some Prices Higher. Rain, and plenty of it, is what is|,, most desired by market dealers at this time. Not only is it dealers in fruits and = produce for fear of a shortage of both com- modities the coming Fall, but deal- ers in other commoditiés, such as meats, poultry, butter and eggs, also are sho! ing an amount of anxiety over the weather situation. B Cabbage and potatoes two commodi- ties most affected by the continued dry weather, commanded higher prices this week, while the price of tomatoes, al- ready up, went still higher. Shortage of early crop of potatoes, probably not much more than 50 per cent of last year’s crop, resulted in running prices io as high as $7 a barrel the past few days, with prospects of even higher prices the coming week. Tomato prices have continued higher | &y, this season than any in many years. Usually at this season of the year to- matoes are to be had as low as 50 cenis or less & bushel, but no such low level has been reached this season. Big Supplies of Peaches. In spite of the prevailing dry weather, 1t is reported, local wholesalers con- tinued to receive immense quantities of peaches and cantaloupes from nearby and distant places, receipts of both fruits being largely in excess of de- mands. Most other vegetables have continued in fairly good supply, first arrivals com- ing from the South. Nearby products followed and now some supplies wre coming from the North. California and other States in the West also have con- iinued to furnish supplies. Reports of wholesalers show a con- tinued high price prevailing in the wanted by | g, ivate Wire UNITED STATES.

Poultry prices, espe- cially price of Spring chickens, have declined this week. A continued firm condition of the butter and egg market was Te) throughout the week, prices of commodities having advanced. Butter advanced only slightly, while all grades of eggs advanced in price. “Strictly fresh hennery eggs have been in demand all the week,” observed | Pt a dealer, “and consumers were willing ‘o pay premium prices for them, whil® the demand for current receipts was at a low ebb.” Candling Losses Heavy. The demand for current receipts at approximately 10 cents a dozen cheaper than the price of the hennery stock been light, but losses in the candling of the latter have been so heavy that prices really amounted to as much as those asked for the hennery stock with absolutely no losses. A loss of as many a8 six dozen in a case of current re- ceipts was reported. Business this week showed an im- provement over that of the pnufln{ week, according to wholesalers, and stil better business is looked for even before | g the return of the thousands of vaca- tionists who have been away from the * city since the closing of the schools. Heavier buying yesterday for the week end trade was reported, retailers taking a better hold for their trade, and prices of most commodities this morning were about the same as prices quoted yester- day.

BY CHARLES F. SPEARE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 3.—The recent |proportions of the bond market were well maintained today in the shortened session. A large percentage of the trading was in the convertibles, of which there are more in number now being dealt in daily than at any time this year. There are several extremely active stock op- tion bonds that have been attracting attention in the outside markets. International Telephone 4%s moved u{}z.d points, while American Telephone 47,8 were advancing 2 points, but the spread between the two remained over 30 points. It was obvious that, with the American company's convertibles moving up so fast, there would be a revival of speculation in those of the International company. Rallroad convertibles became more prominent. Atchison 4l,s advanced r'lth thzu stock, selling ltu:nr;ew high . Alleghany Corpora ] ed 1% points. o The new 5%s of General Public Service gained another point. The foreign convertibles were inclined to ease off. Among the mortgage issues, the strength in Florida East Coast at- tracted attention. This bond has now recovered 5 points from its recent low. The sugar issues were not affected by the published schedule of the proposed tariff on sugar. LOFT MOVES MERGER FIGURE NEAR MILLION Special Dispatch to The 8 BALTIMORE, August 3.—The deal whereby Loft, Inc., of New York, ac- quires the entire capital stock of the Mavis Candies, Inc., of Baltimore, in- volves slightly less than $1,000,000. Charles G. Guth of Baltimore, presi- dent of the Mavis Candies, becomes a director and active vice president of Loft, Inc. Mr. Guth has purchased for investment large stock holdings of Loft, Inc, and has guaranteed increased volume of sale for Loft, Inc. Alfred R. Miller, president of Loft, Inc., becomes a director and vice president of Mavis Candles, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement 50 per cent of the Loft stock, to be ex- changed for Mavis, will be held by the company under a guarantee offered by Mavis that business of the combined {ogmp:‘;u:s will be ilncrened by $750,000 e first year of consolidation an $2,000,000 the second year. - o COTTON EASES OFF. Early Rise on Covering Offset by ‘Weakened Weather Outlook. NEW YORK, August 3 (#).—The cotton market opened steady today at an advance of 2 to 10 points on some covering and a little trade or commis- slon house buying accompanied by talk of continued high temperatures in the Southwest. These appeared to be offset by the outlook for cloudy weather with possible showers, however, and the market eased off during the carly trad- ing under further week end or pre- bureau liquidation. October declined from 18.92 to 18.82 while March sold off from 19.32 to 19.21, with the market the end of the first half hour. ‘The amount of cotton on shipboard awaiting clearance at the end of the week was estimated at 33,000 bales, against 40,000 last yea: ‘Today was a holiday in the Liverpool market, which will also be closed on Monday. WHEAT AGAIN DROPS. Big Receipts Have Bearish Effect in Chicago Values. CHICAGO, August 3 (#).—Lower prices for wheat early today resulted from selling associated with big re- ceipts here, 7,105,000 bushels for the week, against 2,825,000 bushels last year. Advices of liberal export business over- night failed to act as an offset. Opening % to 1% off, wheat afterward under- went a decided additional setback. Corn and oats turned weaker also, with corn starting 32 to 13 lower, and subse- quently continuing down-grade. Provi- sions were easy.

Potomac River netters have not been very successful in their fishing efforts during the past month or more, it is stated, until they made heavy hauls of rockfish this week, thousands of the popular fish weighing from 8 ounces to 3 pounds having been caught. Rockfish Are Cheap. Because of the hig_catches, accord- ing to dealers, the fish reached & rec- | yore in ord low price of 10 cents a pound. Soft and hard crabs were caught in large quantities. Soft crabs sold around 51.50 a dozen most of the week, while the hard ones were offered as low as $2.50 & barrel. Crabmeat has continued plentiful throughout the week, dealers reported, and prices were termed cheap. Some of the meat, sald to be of exceptionally fine quality, came from Biloxi, 8., packers, the choicest white lump sell- ing around 60 cents a pound. ~Ordi- nary white flake sold around 35, while the clawmeat was offered at 25 cents.

Yet on over 1,500 miles of road in Newberry County, South Carolina, a blanket of coarse cotton is stretched as the erosion-proof foundation for paving—and so successful has been the plan that a second stretch is being similarly treated. The difference between Balzac’s wild scheme and the successful plan of modern highway -engineers is simply the difference between wasteful luxury and efficient use. It’s the same in the way you spend your money—you can squander your surplus on useless luxuries, or you can put it to work for you successfully by sav- ing and investing in some reliable security, In the 6% First Mortgage Notes we sell there is not only an at- tractive and unfailing interest yield for you—you will have the assurance .of safety, proven by our record of sixty years without loss to any investor. .
