re stocks available even at the higher prices, Subsequently, James A. Stillman, President of the National City Bonk, ‘was quoted es saying that tight money conditions must be expected for the balance of the year, and many persons in attempting to read * between the line of his statement nterpreted it as being extremely | SEDEEEEEEEREBSEEEE * pessimistic, that Mr. Sullivan will not | Amo, Dry Goom be surprised if money conditions grow much more acute this fall, By noon most of the early gains were lost. The late forenoon selling movement was accentuated by a sharp drop in foreign exchange rates. Demand sterling dropped to $8.77 3-4, an overnight loss of 23-4 cents. Franes receded 32 centimes and Ger- man marks sold at $.0220, the lowest figure touched in many weeks. _ The surprising weakness of the exchange market was not readily ‘understood. In some quarters it was . attributed to reports from Europe that Russia, now having forced Po- land to seek an armistice, will join with Germany and give that country its moral and, if need be, ite military support against the Allies. However, it must be said this view of the situ- ation was discredited in more re- sponsible quarters, ‘ Money again opened and renewed » at 8 per cent, but the only effect this had was to check speculative ac- tivity. In the early afternoon price changes became extremely irregular, even in the & ease of stovks in the same group. It became more evident that the market ,heeds some powerful new constructive: factor to lift it put of its present rut, and Wall Street hopes that this will ‘be furnished next week in the way of an amnouncement by the Interstate Commerce Commission that freight and passenger rates will be increased _'to the full amount which railroads ‘now request! July cotton made a new high record at 42.75 cents per pound. Distant »Mmonths were practically unchanged, ' Prices receded sharply In the last hour without anything in the news to account for the movement. Leading peculative favorites in the industrial Hist dropped three to five points from the highs of the day and in many $cases showed declines of from two to four points compared with the final ‘quotations of Jast night Outside buying powcr was not at- tracted by values, nor was there the slirhtest evidence iof inside support Cotton followed the course of the stock market. In late dealings it roored losses ranging from $2 to $3 ‘per ‘bale. The grain markets shewed \ fractional losses.

Q. Foy. (Special Food Expert Evening World.) Potatoes have dropped $5 a barrel in the wholesale cost in the last ten days, and anther decline Is !oked for Monday or Tuesday. | Tho finest Long Island potatoca sold yeatetday at $7 per l-peck barrel and many of those known as field run were sold in Wallabout and Gansevoort mar- kets at $5.25 and $5.60 the 10-peck measure. Graded Jersey potatoes sold at $4 and $660 a sack, while the finest Virginia potatoes did not bring | over $7 and $7.60 per 160-pound barrel. The Government has just closed a contract for a supply of No. 1 U. 8. grade potatoes for August at four cents per pound, and there {s no rea. }Son why the retail dealers will have to pay any more in the wholesale mar- ket. In some of the uptown retail stores yesterday afternooh potatoes were be- ing eold at six cent per pound for fairly good stock, but other stores that handled the more mature South- ern potatoes were selling three pounds for 25 cents, The indicated yield of potatoes on July 1 was 387,588,000 ‘bushels ogainst the December esti- mate of 358,000,000 bushels laat yoar and the five-year average, 282,113,000 bushels, from 1914 to 1918. The wholesale district was crowded last night with auto trucks, loadod with vegetables from New Jerse Pennsylvania and New York States, and a large accumulation was car ried over unsold from the previous day, Cucumbers, beans, lettuce and, fn fact, sade of all kinds were sell- ing below the combined cost of :he container and transportation charges to bring them here. Long Island cab- ages of the finest quality ever nown at this senson were sold by the farmers, delivered in the whole- sule districts, at $2.50 to $3.00 per hundred head As these cabbaires averaged from four to seven pounds the head and some’as heavy as eight to ten pounds, the farmer gets less than one cent per pound. Most of the retail stores in the uptown d trict were charging from@15 to 25 cents for heads of cabbage weighing about, three and one-half to five pounds, but those sold at 16 cents were soft and spongy. The finest Long Island cabbages should not cost the consumers more than 2 to 8 cents per pound. String beans admit of a profit of 100 per cent, to the dealer when sold at 6 cents per pound, Heavy headed let- tuce should not cost the consumer more than 10 cents a head, while most of the lettuce in the retail stores does not cost the dealer over | | { | a profit at from five to six cents a head, en oi] NAB WRONG AUTO OWNER.

(Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) SCRANTON, Pa, July 23—With the completion of testimony before the Federal Commission Investigat~ ing conditions among workers in the anthracite coal industry, the miners are waiting with keen impatience |for the wage award, which Is ex- | pected within a few week | It is generally conceded that there will be increased pay granted the men in these flelds, That there will be dissatisfaction with the award, even though it grants reasonable in- | creases, is'apparent from the existing situation. The miners have had their hopes built high, and many of them are in threateniag mood, At this time there is an “outlaw” strike on at Pittston, a few miles from ,Scranton, involving 7,000 or 8,000 men. ‘This reduces production between 15,000 and 20,000 tons per day. An effort to develop the causes of the present alleged coal shortage brings the surprising statements from many persons familiar with conditions in the anthracite and bitu- minuous fields that production Is go~ ing ahead at a good rate, and, tn fact, |1s ahead of previous years, Officials of railroads in the coal fields and others whose business requires them to keep in close contact with the | situation say that production cannot be blamed for any shortage that may exist in various sections, ag the coal is being mined, and faulty distribu. tion alone is causing shortage in par- ticular localities. W. H,.Willlams, Vice President of the Delaware and Hudson Rallroad Company, one of the big coal carriers which taps the Pennsylvania fields, is one of those who takes sharp issue with the “coal famine” claims, In @ statement just filed with the Inter- state Commerce Commission, this of- ficial says that Canada and the Northwest alone are justified in com- plaints of fuel shortage, To what extent the domestic coal situation would be helped by an em- bargo on export coal is the question raised by many persons familiar with existing conditions. Many com- petent authorities see in the heavily increased exportations to Southern Europe an aggravating factor of the general situation, The shortage of coal abroad and the fact that Britain has cut off coal shipments to Franc Italy and other countries In order to better care for home requirements are making it possible for American coal operators to get in many instances fabulous prices for thelr coal ship- ped abroad.
