STOCK MARKET LOSES ADVANCES Some Steel Up in OpeningRails Are Strong. NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—The advance recorded in the stock market in the final trading yesterday was not maintained at the opening today. Profit taking in those industrials which made the sharpest, advances caused slight losses In early dealings but these were followed by another upward movement. Steel common sold at 89%, a gain of Vs. Baldwin Locomotive, after falling % to 109%, rose to above 110. Crucible Steel advanced 1% to 139V4. Republic Steel dropped nearly one point to 85%. The rails generally showed a strong tone, Southern Pacific being most active and advancing % to 95%. Reading, after dropping to 91%, rose one point. Pan-American Petroleum sold down 1% to 88, and Mexican Petroleum dropped 1% to 161%, but quickly recovered to 163. The Marines were in demand, Marine common advancing 1% to 26 and preferred 2% to 77%. Corn Products rose 1 point to 90. New Haven rose 1 point to 34%. Many of the industrial Issues showed a lack of demand after the start and some recessions were recorded. Republic Steel was under pressure, falling to 84%. Steel common ranged between 89% and 90. , Baldwin was active and after Its upturn to above 110 reacted to 108%. Southern Pacific attracted must attention during the forenoon trading, that stock advancing from 94% to 96%. Other railroad stocks were moderately strong, Canadian Pacific advancing 1% to 120%, and Reading holding around its early high. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Aug. 24 The day, from early appearances, promised to be exceedingly dull and uninteresting. There was only a moderate demand for stocks during the earlier part of the session knd as soon as this was out of the way, the traders who have been Inclined to oppose n recovery, offered stocks In sufficient volume to give the list an easy appearance, and for a while it looked rather discouraging to holders of the industrials. The rails held fairly good, there was a more uniform demand for these stocks and there is every reason why there should be, since their troubles are largely a matter of history and within a few days will be the beneficiaries of living rates. During the afternoon, when It became apparent that bearish pressure was not bringing In any outside liquidation, the demand for stocks Improved, business appearing not only from commission houses, but also from the element that was committed to the short side. Then prices began to harden and more or less difficulty was experienced In the execution of buying orders. Thus disclosing a sold out condition. The news of the day showed no im portant variation. Business Is still undergoing a change and there is still nothing before us at this time to warrant expectation of n market with a big public participation. But we must bear in mind that whar. Is now going on in the business world was discounted by the prolonged decline on the stock exchange, and we have now reached a level where operations should be.

GRAIN LETTER. , (By Thompson A McKinnon) —Aug. 24 — Wheat—Buyers were in the market from start to finish for the moderate offerings of December wheat which represented the taking off of hedges on a fairly good sized line sold for export during yesterday s define. The southwest showed renewed strength, while the northwest showed none of that weakness so apparent yesterday. Canadian wheat was offered quite freely today. Corn—The failure or the weakness in the cash markets, which was so pronounced at yesterday's close, in both ' corn and wheat, to show itself wheu these markets opened today, caused a reaction- , ary market with shorts covering freely, causing a material advance in values. Tho ; market has become quite a little oversold j and the congestion In September, which | shows so easily, was again in evidence. , After the shorts in December and May took care of their commitments, offer- j ings increased for these months. The country was reported as offering cash corn a little more freely today. The buying of September seemed to be for large local operators more than any general commission demand. You must keep in mind that the September is in a class by Itself, still subject to share changes. The splendid crop promise still holds j good as an incentive to make sales on . bulges, of the December. The only consideration to watch Is bad weather or possible early frost. Oats—The market was heavy early on liberal receipts, but the cash prices finally steadied with the corn. Some litthe Inquiry was noted for export, but not on a basis allowing business. Some heavy early buying was supposed to be covering shorts and the market at no time showed any buoykney. Provisions —Further liquidation in provisions uncovered poor support and some lower prices. Hogs were lower. The weakness was more the result of changing September property over to later months than anything else. CHICAGO GRAIN. WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

The peculiar range of prices and the grades affected was the result of the buying schedule that was adopted at the opening of the market. The schedule on which most of the bu..ug au(4 selling was done follows: Hogs weighing 16 to 200 pounds. $15.75; 200 to 225, $15.50; 225 to 273, $15.25, and 275 to 300 pounds, sls. Roughs were steady at sl4 and down, and pigs weighing under 140 pounds were steady at $15.25 and down. The hulk of the good light hogs brought $15(5115.50, while the bulk of sales ran $15.25(gi13.75. Eastern shippers bought heavier than did the local packers, while the speculative buying was about as usual. Receipts for the day approximated 9.030, with approximately 700 left over from the Tuesday market. The cattle market was steady and slow with 1,000 receipts, with the exception of a few good steers that sold at sl6. The dullest spot of the market was medium and common cows and heifers, there being but little demand for those grades. The market continues to be flooded with the medium and common graces with but a small mixture of good stuff, and commission men are of the opinion that the market will continue on a slow trend until there Is a discontinuance of the flood of poor grades, although they say that the flood of the present moment will probably cause a shortage of cattle next year. The prices on the calf market continued on tho strong trend that was started In the Tuesday market, and the price of choice veals advanced to 50” higher at an $lB top on buying by local butchers. A few extra fancy veals brought $18.50, but the bulk of sales of the choice veals ran from $16.50 to $17.50. Medium calves brought $12@15 and common stuff, $8(^11.

On Commission Row

The spell of inactivity that has gripped the produce market for the past two weeks shows no signs of recession, according to reports by the commission i house men today. The outlook of the market was glum | at the opening, and trade livened up but little after the opening. A part of the slowness of the market 1 Is us yet unaccounted for, but the supposition that the interest In gardening this summer and the arrival of cool weather were factors is established now as facts. The tomato crop is not be unloaded on the produce market, as it was some time ago, due probably to the fact that the canning factories over the state are taking about all that can be gathered. Potatoes are coining on the market regularly, if not in extremely large quantities and Stars, one brand of cobblers, are selling as low as $5.25 a -barrel. Tbe cantalope market is completely demoralized with the flooding of the market and crates of good eantalopes are selling now as low as 60c. Illinois pears are now on the market at $2 a bushel. Apples are coming on the market how Tery irregularly and it will be only a tter of a few days until the supply of summer apples will not be large enough to be a factor on the market. Early fall apples, however, will soon take the place of the summer supply. TODAY'S rRICES. Apples—Baskets, $143. Sweet Apple Cider—Fer gal, $1; half gal. 00c. Bananas—Pound, 8%(39c.

Couldn’t Fix Auto, ■ > They Fixed Its OwH John W. Baker's automobile (lead” in front of 420 West street Sionday and when ho was nr KW tn start it William Donahue and Ferguson offered to fix it. Baker doubted their ability amd refused to permit them to fix the car, and then there was a battle. Testimony in the city court was that Donahue hit Baker in the mouth and thav Ferguson hit Baker on the back of the head, and that Baker then obtained a hammer. Before he bad time to use it a policeman happened along and arrested Baker for drawing deadly weapons, and the other two for assault and battery. Judge Pritchard dismissed the charge against Baker but fined Donahue and Ferguson each $1 and costs and sentenced them to serve three days in jail. Law-Flouting Taxi Drivers Get Fines Failure to exhibit taxicab rates as provided by the city ordinance in their taxicabs resulted In eleven men each being fined $1 and costs and one man being fined $lO and costs in city court yesterday. Three other taxi drivers requested that charges against them be continued and they will be tried Aug. 31. Each driver had some original excuse for not having obeyed the law, but it remained for Bert Van Ernst to offer the prize and as a result he drew the largest fine. “I had the rate card in my car,” declared Van Ernst. “Yes, judge, he had it under the seat he was sitting on,” said the officer who made the arrest. "That is deliberately violating the law,” said Judge Pritchard, ‘‘and I will fine you $lO and costs.” Would Fine Speeders $1 Each Excess Mile “It I were sure I bad tbe wisdom to tell the exact speed at which automobile speed law violators were driving, I would make their fines $1 a mile for each mile over the speed permitted by law.” said Judge Walter Pritchard in city court yesterday. "But this court does not feel that the exact speed can be determined, therefore I will assess a fine of $lO and costa for the first conviction in each case.” The court then fined Milton Stout $lO and costs when Stout admitted he wj traveling thirty-two miles an hour when arrested on Delaware street by a motorcycle officer.
