(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 14— Trading for the week came to a close just as reports were received from abroad that representatives of the Polish and Russian governments had settled down to serious business of discussing armistice It'lUiS. The results of this conference will undoubtedly furnish the dominant factor to the determining action of the market with the resumption of business Monday. Wall street was inclined to view a way had at last been opened for a satisfactory adjustment of the European situation. but the market today failed to give definite expression to such expectations. Trading was small in volume and of a desultory character, with prices tending to ease off slightly on the final dealings, after ruling steady for the greater part of the two-hour session. On the whole, the market has shown a moderate improvement on the week, the average price of twenty railroads being about a point above the low level established last Monday and that of thirty industrials, showing a rise of about a point and a half. To what extent the market has adjusted itself to the business construction and price deflation in this country is difficult to determine at this time, but if action of the market is of value the clearing up of foreign situation will remove dominant cause of hesitation. We will then be free to analyze home conditions. Since Monday the market has shown a desire to do better. NEW YORK LIBERTY BONDS.

Stock Market Review NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—The Evening Sun financial review today said: “Wall street continued to follow foreign political events today as bolding the most Important influence over the financial markets, but business on the stock exchange was quiet and generally featureless and trade element adhering to a waiting policy in the expectation that next week’s occurrences would throw a clearer light on the situation. ‘Stocks drifted irregularly during the greater part of today’s short session, but exhibited a steady undertone. A few of the oil and rubber shares rose a point or so on limited buying and the rails improved fractionally but no attempt was made to mark prices up with the idea of attracting a following.’’ T i N.

Terse Market Notes ! STOCKS. NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—The Foliah (situation la considered as critical aa ever and the market seems to Ignore it. There is an undercurrent of real apprehension on this score. It is not expected that there will be much follow up in the buying of stock* that are usually designed as the active industrials and It is presumed that short interest la not so Urge as estimated fre quently. There ba* been aorae very good buying in some specialties, food products, corn products and American Linseed. Buying has strengthened the market's support and helped the position technically so that there is hope, if political affairs the world over ever ejear. for better reflections of such legitimate factors as the improving railroad situation, phenomenal crop promises and value existing in many securities. NEW YORK, Aug. 14. —The total sales of stocks for today were 125.500 shares; bonis. $3,771,000. Total sales of stocks for the week were 2,897,600; bonds. $48,713,000. COTTON. NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—Shower* have been quite genera! during the lest twentyfour hours east of the Mississippi nnd in Louisiana and Texas. The outlook for tomorrow is partly cloudy weather and occasional showers in the Atlantic and East Gulf states and Tennessee. GRAIN. CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—1 t looks as though the edge was off of the buying side of the grain market. There were considerable profit-taking sales yesterday aud less anxiety by shorts, who seem to have covered freely. Easier markets are looked for in the near future and it is thought that any rally just now will be short lived. As affecting the market here the foreign political situation is less tense. CROP SUMMARY. Rains which have been fairly general throughout the upper Mississippi bagln in the course of the week have been highly beneficial, and with the sole exception of spring wheat, the yield of which has been cut short by tbe rust and heat, crops throughout the country are in excellent shape, and the feeling Is very optimistic in al quarters. Thrashing of oats In Illinois and lowa reveals heavy yields of excellent quality. Although winter wheat could be better tbe yield so far is better than was anticipated a month ago. Corn, threatened for a time by drouth, is now flourishing throughout tbe belt. Rye and barley are being cut. Flax Is In excellent condition. Hay and forage are everywhere In firstclass shape. Potatoes are generally gcod. according to report* from the principal potato growing sections. Cotton has shown,great improvement during the week. Rice harvest has begun In Louisiana and is most promising. Sweet potato and syrup cane are in good condition. CLEVELAND PRODUCE.

GRAIN MARKET ON DOWN TREND Russo-Polish Situation Better —ls Big Factor. CHICAGO. Aug. 14.-*-The European military and political situation was generally regarded by trades today as more favorable and grain prices sagged somewhat In the dull market during the short session. December wheat opened at $2.41, off %c from yesterday’s close, and closed at $2.38%; March was off l%c at the opening at $2.42%, closing at $2.41%. September corn, after opening at $1.48%. a loss of %c, gained %c, closing at $1.48%. December opened at $1.25%, down %c and closed at $1.24%. September oats opened %c lower at 71%c, closing at 70%c. December, after opening Vic lower, lost another %c, and closed at C9%c. Provisions wore steady on a steady hog market. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 14Wheat—Demand slackened for wheat today and while there was talk of further Inquiry there was nothing tangible done and the feeling was easier. Corn—The tension that has been in September and cash corn showed a decided letup yesterday and today, especially that was so noticeable in the September corn. It looks as though leading holders of September were meeting all the demand and that the short Interest has been so cut down that even a further setback could reasonably be expected. All conditions surrounding the new crop are especially favorable and It is only to be regretted that to take advantage of the new crop conditions, one has to sell December and May at such unusual discounts. The tendency of the prices seems to be toward a lower level. Oats—This market failed to show any snap, while corn was advancing, so that it was no surprise to see it weak today. The movement of new oats to market is on a liberal scale and we expect lower prices unless interrupted advances la corn. Provisions—The market give a better account of Itself tbife week. The price of hogs keeps high with only moderate receipts. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Aug. 14WHEAT — Open. High. Low. Close.

On Commission Row Wholesale men said today that there are good prospects 'for a better market next week. The market for the past week has been very dull, due, wholesale men say, to the fact that there has been an over supply of many articles of produce and also to the fact that many farmers have been delivering much of their surplus produce either to the grocer or to the consumer direct. Cantaloupes have taken a considerable raise, now selling at $2.5003.50 for standards, [email protected] for baskets and $1 for flats. The raise is due to the holdup in supply by shippers. For several days the market was well supplied and the prices fell. Shippers immediately stopped shipment of orders and the price went up. The tomato supply this Saturday Is similar to the supply of the last Saturday market, a limited supply, good demands and higher prices. Tomatoes are now selling at $2.5003 a bushel. The limited supply now is due to the large amount of tomatoes that are being taken by the canning factories over the state. Sweet potatoes are down to $2.25 a bushel. The potato market has varied but little during the past week, but wholesale dealers are of the opinion that the market will be stronger next week. The apple market has a firm upward trend. Indiana large freestone plumbs are now on the market at $4 a bushel. The first Indiana hull lima beans came on the market today, selling at $3 a gallon. TODAY’B PRICES. Apples—Baskets, $lO3.

GET READY NOW FOR SUN POWER It’s On the Road—But Will You be Alive? Don’t worry about our Daaenlng *upplles of coal and oil. There need be no collapre of the Industrial world as long as the sun goes on shining. For the sun of course Is the source of all power and one way to run our factories and heat our homes would be to go direct to the aun. In an experimental way it has been done already a number of times. Os course the conversion of annheet directly Into ateam or electricity on a commercial scale, and the application of it to all the various work of civilization la a very different matter from the making of a successfuL laboratory experiment. No one can foresee what practical difficulties would be encountered. It is probable that man will go on using the power which nature ha* stored in the earth as long as it lasts; that be will supplement it first by a careful development of all water-power resources; by the making of fuel alcohol on a large scale, and that the direct converalon of aun heat Into power will come last. That It will come ultimately there is little doubt. And some scientists of conservative reputation and high standing will tell you that this development is overdue now. They say it Is only the immense Inertia of men aa a whole, their devotion to their habit, and their lack of properly organized scientific enterprise which prevent the speedy development of sun-power plants. New Exchange Rates Announced at P. 0. New rates of exchange of foreign money Into United States money at tho postoffice exchange was put Into effect today. Together with a detailed list of exchange the following changes are announced by Postmaster Springsteen. One pound sterling of Great Britain may be converted into $4 United States money. * , French, Italian and Belgian money may be converted into United States money at the rate of 10 franca and 30 centimes for a dollar. The florl of the Netherlands la exchanged for 38 cents of United State* money, and the krona of Sweden, Denmark and Norway may be converted into United States money at the rate of 24, 20 and 20 cents, respectively. Bureau Ceases to Be Worker in the Dark Anew idea in service is being tried by the United States bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. For many years the bureau has been receiving letters from all kinds of folk* asking impossible things, which some of the Inexperienced clerks would try to answer regjrdless of whether the information could be put to practical u*. A man possessed of the brilliant ldo.. of flooding the Chinese market with stocking* would write In for a lot of obscure facts, guarding carefully his great secret. He would ask such pertinent questions cs the length of the average Chinaman’s legs, whether It was cold in Shanghai in May, what cdlora the Chinese liked, without giving a hint of hiß purpoae. Pome well-meaning mt misguided clerk at Washington would spend hours In painstaking research and than, fortified with this data, the prospective foreign trader would communicate with a commission bcuse ;n Shanghai, only tc be told that the Chinese don’t wear stocking*.
