Closing prices were: United States Steel, 85%. off %; Baldwin, 103%, oft 2; Pan-American Petroleum, ~%. off 2%: Studebaker. 61%, off 1%; United States Rubber. 82%, up %;.

(By Thomson & McKinnon) —Aug. 9 An immediate rally in prices this afternoon on publication of rumors that Russia had agreed to a four days’ armistice, after severe losses had been witnessed during the forenoon. Closing hour indications were that trade, lacking a confirmation of reported cessation of hostilities in Poland, was still Inclined to view possibilities of European situation in serious lght. Throughout the sesson the market had little support, outside that of covering by shorts. More news of a reassuring nature from abroad would possibly fiud the market in a mood for a further rally.

Terse Market Notes

STOCKS. NEW YORK, Aug 9.—While the Industrial list, and of course the rail list. Is ailed with bargain opportunities, there is a great d*-al of discouragement^now In the situation and bears will probably try to make the best of It from their point of view. The bank statement of the past week is better but none too good, and furtbe credit curtailment may be expected to have its effect on pools and some poolcontrolled Issues. Call money is more abundant and time loans should soon be easier to obtain. Declining tendencies of commodity prices are arrested, but have not yet l>een reverted. There is still some speculative liquids tion impending In dry goods, but. short interest in raw cotton Is large and sensitive to adverse crop reports The gravity of the crisis abroad is duly emphasized In this morning's dispatches from European capttols. The Polish situation will possibly offset as a market factor the good impression made by the bank statement of Saturday. The New York clearing house statement for last week shows decided improvement with an increased reserve of $21,257,000 and a decrease in loans of $45,515,000. On the other hand, the local bank statement shows a decrease in the reserve ration of the total reserve to deposits, and the federal reserve net liabilities from 40.40 to 39.38. COTTON. NEW YORK, Aug. 9—The weather iepo shows showers In the Atlantic and Oulf states and the outlook is for considerable cloudiness and local showers and thunderstorms east of the Mississippi today an<V tomorrow. Yesterday’s rhinfall in the south was a.- follows: Charleston, 1.26; Jacksonville, .46; Memphis .02; Montgomery. .22: New Orleans, .76; Raleigh. .66. The maximum tom Denatures were 78 to 92 nod the weather was cloudy. The seriousness of the foreign situation is reflected in the Liverpool mar ket. which comes 32 to 41 Points lower, whereas a decline of 8 to 18 points was due. While the farmer is reluctant to sell his cotton at this level and weather conditions are construed as bullish, the Russo-Polisb crisis will no doubt offset domestic influences. • GRAIN. CHICAGO. Aug. 9. —A year ago at this time September corn sold at $1.98 and December at $1.73 on reports of heat and drought. At that time the prominent feature was an absence of any buying by the country. This same lack of buying is to be noticed at the present time, and It is safe to say that the producing section is not apprehensive of the outcome. Popular estimates of grain yelds are: Winter wheat. 540,000,000 bushels; spring wheat. 290.000,000 bushels; corn. 3.000,(XXi.tSH) bushels, and oats, 1,400,000,000 bushels.

WHEAT MARKET REGAINS LEVEL Improved Weather Conditions Offsets Polish Influence.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—lmproved weather conditions over a large portion of the grain area today offset pessimistic military views from Poland and future prices, after an early bulge, closed at practically Saturday’s levels. December wheat opened at $2.36, up 3%c from the close at Saturday’s short session, and closed at $2.32. March wheat was also 3%e higher at *be start, but later lost the same margin, closing fit $2.35%. There was heavier trading in corn than wheat. September corn was 2%e up at the opening, but closed at $1.43%, of 4%c. December opened at $1.23%, off %c, and later lost 2%c. September oats opened %c higher at 73%e, closing at 70%c. December opened at 70%c, up %c, but closed lower. Provisions were irregular, despite a higher hog market, light trade. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) “ —Aug. 9 Wheat —A possible spreading of the trouble on the Russian border seems to be accepted as meanning higher prices for wheat, but if judgment can be based upon the demaud from abroad, there is such feeling there. The foreign demand is. and has been for a number of days, distinctly slow. There is also a little slowing down in the demand from domestic millers. Private advices from the northwest carry the idea of a shrinkage in the total yield from early estimates, but it is believed that the winter wheat yield will offset this. Corn—The only discoverable motive for the early strength in corn was the foreign political situation. Inasmuch as corn is nud always has been a domestic proposition, it does not seem reasonable to base faith in higher prices on further complications abroad. Most of the strength in the market is gained from the cash situation which in turn is largely due to transportation. One or two items suggest that railroaders are improving thetr facilities as rapidly as more efficiency In labor permit*. “The weather has a way of changing ut the opportune moment. The area which has been complaining of drought has received fairly good rains within the last fortyeight hours. In case today’s crop report corroborates private estimates of 3.000,000,000 bu, and there is more pacific tone from abroad, prices should decline. There lias been sufficient realizing in the September delivery to materially relieve the congestion which has shown in that delivery. Oats—Cash market for oats is distinctly heavy, premiums declining today for poorer sorts of No. 3 white* to as low as %c over the September. Private advices from the - country continue to show unexpectedly large yields and bright, heavyweight oats Provisions—ls possible war abroad is a factor in any market, but there was no evidence of any demand from that source, as a matter of fact the entire market displayed a noticeable absence of buying.

The general trend of tlje market prices was steady with Saturday. A good demand and a limited supply of tomatoes on the market today brought the pliers lip 75 cents on the bushel over the Saturday selling price. The limited supply is laid to the fact that the farmers and truekera do not gather tomatoes Saturday afternoon, which means that the market will not get a good supply until this afternoon or Tuesday morning.
