York, Aug. 15—A moderate ad- in prices took plmce In “today’s market, most of yesterday's losses wiped out in short covering opera- the breaking up of the soft coal strike and the bright outlook for peace in the anthracite flelds. Rail shares showed early firmness Indicating the fi- communities belleve that ‘the ng but thé an- to go before congress on the rail situa- tfon : caused -some Irregularity. Steel -shares showed considerable im- provement, probably on the assumption that- the settlement of the coal strike would bemefit that Industry more than way-other. U. S. Steel common was up » point, Lackawanna rose 1 7-8, Repub- e 2 1-2 and other independent shares In sympathy.

Teports of heavy =elling in European senters caused a reactionary trend to Ue - early dealings in foreign exchange. French franes sold off to 7.96 1-2, as st ' 8.03 yesterday, but recovered o 8.02 before the market closed and were quoted as high as 8.06 later. Ger- wan ‘marks were down to ten for a went; an extreme low record, following the znnouncement of the German cabi- aet that it could not pay more than $2.- §00,000 of the $10,000,000 demanded by Franée this month as payments on ac- sount of debts to aliled nationals.

Chicago, Aug. 15.—Wheat dispense( with the dollar sign today for a:while buyers were- 20 scarce. The ' market touched 99 1-2 cents a bushel for the September delivery, with all months at. a new low price record for the season Closing gquotations were unsettled, at i- to 1 1-8 net decline, September $1.0{ 1-2 to $1.00 3-4, and December $1.01 5-8 to $1.01 3-4. Corn, however, galn- ed 3-4 to 1 1-4 and 1 2-8, and oats 3-8 { @1-2 to 5-8. In provisions, the out- {come varied from 2 1-2¢c-decline‘to 10c advance. Shrinkage of buying power and wid- ening out of pressure to sell were most apparent in the wheat market after word was out that President Harding {would hold no further parleys regard- ing the rail strike] Bearish effects of unsettled domestic industrial conditions were increased by disturbing advices abput = foreign finances and by nearly complete absence of export business-in wheat. Practically all, demand » for wheat seemed to be restricted almost al- togeéther to previous sellers who were in a position to collect. A moderate ral- ly with which the wheat market, clesed the @ay was ascribed in the main to profit-taking. The only other noticeable upturn in price was during ‘the’ early trading and was due to announcement that there would be-no board of control for wheat In Canada this year. Signs developed, though, that spreading oper- atlons were in progress bétween Winni- pez and Clicago, with the selling - end here. TUnder such cirqumstances, the abandonment of board of control, plans in Canada ceased quickly to yleld any stimulas. Complaints that corn was firing be- canse of continued hot dry weather gave strength to prices for corn and-oats, I particular, the Nebraska corn crop was reported to be going. back rapidly. q Provislons were dull and irregular, | natural iawa. volume which promised tosur- - pass all previous Cadillacrecords. - - - - As month followed monthyand -~ - : the unprecedented demand for N Type 61 increased, that promise became a fact and a certainty. Now with the figures compiled, it is possible to announce that Cadillac in 1922 has ackirved the greatest success - unparalleled advance in Cadillac business,and the continuing vogue of Type 61 among buyers of high grade cars, coltbre T sut - scored some “gains, ewing to 10,- 100,000 pounds reduction of lard stocks here. % Chicago Gram Markes wheat— Hich Low.
