STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Oil Stocks Feature of Day’s 'Change Dealings. NEW YORK, July 19 —The stock mar ket closed steady today. The market was steady in the late dealings, some of the standard issues moving up to anew high level for the day. United States Steel after falling to 72% rallied to 72% and Crucible rose over 1 point to 54%. Reading was in demand sold at 68%, ex-dividend, a gain of 2 points. Mexican Petroleum after being forced down to 101% recovered to I<>l% and Pan-American Petroleum rose from 48% to 49%. American Tobacco moved up over 2 points to 123%. Government bonds unchanged; railway and other bonds steady. Total sales 430,000 shares. Bonds $9,110,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —July 19— -* NEW TORK, July 19.—The stock market presents no new feature worthy of mention. It is extremely dull with fluctuations largely the result of professional operations. The public interest is small, though there were some indications this morning of a slight Increase in lue public demand for stocks. Mexican Petroleum continues to fluctuate ratfier violently. The professionals wno are trading in the stock aro attempting to follow congressional developments at Washington In relation to the tariff bill. At the moment there is nothing that we can see likely to increase market activity but there is in process of construction a foundation that will ultimately constitute a sound basis for a bigger market. All credit Is due thF President and his advisors who have taken a position that in the end must result in great good for general business. It would not be at all surprising if the country should be favored with tax legislation in advance of the tariff bill and if so a great step will have been taken to assure an early return of commercial prosperity. And not the least of the helpful plans is the prospect of an adjustment of the counter claims between the Government and the railroads. We are therefore disposed to look forward hopefully and we may be favored with a better and a higher market before long. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

(By Thomson A McKinnon.) —J uly 19— Wheat —News from the spring wheat situation all carries the idea that weather conditions between now and harvest will determine ihe question of damage by rnst. Canadian.! news is rather optiniis.ic, an average yield being expected. New offerlhgs by the country are reported as light, and while the present movement to terminal markets is quite large, it is all being absorbed, as practically unchanged relative prices hard wheat in Kansas City going at l%c over July. There is very little outside Inter est in the market, but the trade generally is inclined to be friendly, being impressed by tlie world's situation. Today’s market was stimulated by working of two cargoes to South America, thought to be to millers in Brazil. As pointed out be fore, the market may hesitate, while the movement from the country continues of its present volume, but it is very probable th£t all depressions will encounter an export demand. . / CHICAGO GRAIN. —July 10WHEAT— Open.

HE SAVED FOURTH OF PAY 41 YEARS Michigan Man Always Has Lived on Thrift Basis. MUIR, June 10—When Henry Fhilip was 18, he worked all day mowing three lawns and received $1 in pay. He bought a shirt and a cap and placed 25 cents in Ills savings account. For forty-one years he put a quarter of every dollar he earned In his savings. Then, nineteen years ago, he retired. He has been living off those savings over since. He hns n wife and two daughters. “Do as I have done," is Philip's advice to you men. “It was hard for me—for n w’hile, especially during by courtin’ days, but I managed to get along and for a long time I've managed to take things quite easy and Pm not worrying about how I’m to be cared for during the remainder of my llfq." Philip is 78. After he began “on his own,” he owned a horse and operated a dray business. He added to it until It became one of the best in lonia County. He bought a home find provided for ills family. He has lived In Muir fifty-five years. “This would be a better world if people would practice more thrift,” asserts Philip. “So many say, ‘Oh, I wouldn't be as close jis that man or woman,’ but that logic that ‘it is better to be a good fellow ,and die poor' Is pitiful—foolish." "Do you beUyve two persons can live ns cheaply as one?” Philip was asked the other day. "You bet they can," came his answer. "And in some cases they can live a lot cheaper. Tpat's another tip from me to the youth Just starting out. Find a good old-fashioned girl who has brains, then marry her. Maybe his parents will tell him he is crazy to saddle himself like that but you take my word for It, there's nothing like a woman to make a man step out and make something of himself. "Stay in ond place and prosperity will come much sooner than if you keep on the move. Os course, don’t settle until you find the place and the job you like. Then pitch In.”

LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE Records Back to 1780 Normalcy in Weather. WASHINGTON, July 19. seasons are changing; we do not have the cold weather we did when I was a boy.” Remarks similar to this are frequently heard by representatives of the Weather Bureau, an Important branch of the United States Department of Agriculture, but reports on the weather, dating as far back as 1780 show that there has been no radical change in the mean temperature from year to year. An official of the Weather Bureau has cofhpiled the following table from records taken by various obsarvers previous to 1872 and from those of the Weather Bureau Station at New Haven, Conn., from 1873 to the present: For ten years ending 1790, meai tem perature, glil.o. For ten years ending 1800, mean temperature, 50.0. For ten years en ling 1810, mean temperature, 50.4. For ten years ending 18201, mean temperature, 47.5. For ten years ending 1830, mean temperature, 49.3. For ten years ending 3840, mean temperature, 47.8. v For ten years ending 185(4 mean temperature. 49.2. For ten years ending 1860, ifiean temperature, 48.9. For ten years endidg 1870. mean temperature, 49.1. For ten years ending 1880, mean temperature, 49.7. For ten years ending 1890, mean temperature, 48.9. For ten years ending lDoo,ineAn 6em perature, 49.7. For ten years ending 1910, mean temperature, 49.7. For ten years ending 1920, mean . temperature, 50.5. ■ It will be noted the official pointed out, that the warmest three periods are those ending In 1800, 1810 and 1920, and that tha. coldest decade immediately follow the second wannest. Considering the individual months and the individual years, It is found that the coldest January occurred as late as 1857. The coldest February occurred elfeht year? after the warmest one. The coldest March was as late ns 1870 and again in 1885. The coldest April was In 1874, Bad fhany years after the warmest one. The lowest temperature in May was 1815. 1870 and 1882. The highest figures in June are in 1779, 1790, 1803 and 1876. In July the lowest was in 1816, with the waimest as early as 1780 and equaled In >1876 -TJie coldest August occurred sixtyone veals after the warmest. In Septera ber the coolest months are in the earlier years but for October, November and December the coldest year came after the warmest year in each case. This it will be seen, says the Weather Bureau shark, that in nine months of the y<ar the coldest one of record occurred after the warmest one. These figures seem to indicate very clearly, the Weather Bureau expert explained, that since the time of the Revolutionary War, at least there has been no permanent change In temperature.

SURPLUS SLATE USE IS PROBLEM Government to Test By-Prod-duct as Road Material. WASHINGTON, July 19.—1n order to find a useful outlet for waste material at slate quarries tests have been made by experts of the United States Bureau of Mines to determine its Talue as a filler in asphalt road surface mixtures. According to statistics, 80 to 95 per cent of the gross production of all slate quarries In the United States is discarded as waste, and the laboratory tests were undertaken for the purpose of devising (he best means of reducing the proportion of waste, the utilization of the unavoidable waste to the end that the added cost oflbe finished production be reduced. tests in laboratories of companies preparing road asphait mixtures indicate that for resistance to import slate flour is equal* to other fillers In bonded briquets and somewhat superior in sheet surface mixtures. In cementing vaifie it is superior to both limestone and Portland cement in asphalt bonded briquets and intermediate between them in standard sheet surface mixture. Tests show that slate flour contains approximately )5 to 25 per cent more of the fine dnst 'hat oonltitutes effective filler than either limestone, trap rock or Portland cement, in volume weight it is about equivalent to limestone and approximately 10 per cent superior to Portland cement. The cost of slate flour 1 little more than half of Portland cement, but Us ability to sompete in price with limestone Is not yet established. The Bureau Is careful to point out that while the tests already made are not sufficiently comprehensive to give conclusive results they are definite enough porto suggest possibilities of such importance as to induce further and more extended research both by slate producers and by manufacturer of asphalt road mixtures. The Bureau of Mines is convinced from its tests that the use of Flate flour as a filter in asphalt rond surface mixture would result in improved highways and that a wide use of such filler would acord a profitable outlet for waste slate, with consequent advantage to the slate-pro-ducing industries.

ART BECOMING CONSERVATIVE Layman Can Distinguish Horse or Man in Pictures. TARIS, July 19. —American artists "hogged the film” at this year's Salon of the Society of French artists. The work of the American artists form the strongest and most remarkable foreign group in the salon. Those Parisians who ore prone to complain that Paris is becoming merely a suburb of the United States can point to the salon for another argument. The salon this year inclines toward conservatism. In other words, it is quite possible for the layman to easily recognize what the artist intended to portray. There is not a single picture that the casual observer might diagnose As “Au Explosion in a Shingle Factory” only to discover upon consulting the catalogue that it was "A Descending Stairway,” In this year’s salon it Is entirely possible to distinguish between horses and men and goats and suusets. However, the Society of French Artists has the long standing reputation of being old-fashioned anyway. The American works at the salon are marked by excellence of technique, variety of subject and general Interest and drew the majority of the crowds at the opening. But, the suspicion that the ..art center of the United States Is shifting westward faster than the center of population is confirmed by the excellent showing of A. C. YVebb of Nashville, Tenn., with his "La Four du Grand Ling of Pujwis." “The Blue Kjmono,” by Miss Catherine Wentworth of Rock Island; "Tlie Lady With the Mirror,” by Lester Rosenfleld of Minneapolis. Miss Lucy Scott Bower of Rochester, la., shows an effective “A Street at tlyeres.” The artistically uncharted regions west of the Adlrondacks are further well represented by Mary Bretz of Chicago, Jules Pages of San Francisco. Lee G. Richard of Salt Lake City, Anna Elizabeth Klumpke of San Francisco, the friend and pupil of Rosa Bonheur, and Edward Grenet of San Antonio. These artists are rapidly dispelling the idea that the people west of the above mentioned hills think of nothing more aesthetic than the market price of corn and hogs.
