TOOK MARKET TONE UNSETTLED lart Loses Strong Trend of Initial Hour of Trade. SEW TORK. July 28.—The stock mart was unsettled at the close today. Die strong tone which was shown tn iny stocks on Monday did not endnre r night and today the movement of Ices, except for a few specialties, went < materially lower levels. The market was heavy generally for a ort time after the opening, bnt as the y progressed concentrated selling ised sharp declines in the various ofings. .further market unsettlement was scored the operation of the last hour of the y when United Drugs sustained an adJonal loss and a heavy selling movent occurred in International Harster. carrying that stock down to 71%, ainst 75% at the close yesterday. Southern Pacific yielded from 78% to %, followed by a rally to 78. Cnlted States Steel held steady at 78. The final tone was unsettled. Total sales of stocks were 360,100 ares; bonds, $0,632,000. (By Thomson * McKinnon) —July 26 The rolnme of business on the stock chage Is still small and there is noth- ' at this moment to indicate when this 11 period is to end. In all likelihood v vacation period and the high temratures that have prevailed has probly had as much influence In restricting ■ding as any other cause and the char ter of the market that we have had ring recent weeks has been a strictly ofesslonal trading affair, traders be { eager to accept moderate profits at ry opportunity. Today they sold stocks, but there was real'weakness apparent, and as a mat- - of fact the appearance of bearish ws on any particular mock, such as the arterly statement of the Central ather Company, fails to make any imrtant impression on values, which sugsts the thought that the market has ■iconnted conditions and Is merely irking time nntil some new influence ill arise to stimulate renewed activity. We feel the next move of consequence more likely to be In an upward direcn and the result of governmental es--ts to help business, not only through w constructive plans, but by the settle--nt of old'problems such as exists In i claims between the Government and t railroads, upon which subject the esident today delivered a message to ogress.

GRAIN FUTURES MAKE ADVANCES Wheat Sold to Germany and England Factor. CHICAGO, July 26.—Scattered buying of grain caused a firmer feeling at the start of trading on the board of trade here today and grain quotations generally showed fractional advances. Considerable selling of wheat at the seaboard to Germany and England also caused the market to strengthen. Fractional dips were made on some quotations at the dose. Hhowers in some parts of the grain belt where rain Is needed caused the decline. Provisions were Irregular. July wheat opened at $1.23. off %c. and closed up l%e. September wheat opened up 3c at $1.24 and closed unchanged. December wheat opened up 5c at $1.27 aud closed off %o. July corn opened up %c at 64%c and dosed off %c. September corn opened at 61 %c, up %c, and dosed off %c. December corn opened up %c at 01%c and closed off %c. July oats opened unchanged at 38%c and dosed off %o. September oats opened off %c at 39%e and closed off %c. December oats opened up %c at 42%c and dosed off %c. —July 26 (By Thomson A McKinnon.) Wheat—Less has been heard of foreign buying of wheat, as a consequence tue large primary receipts have hud a temporary effect on prices. It is to be ex petted that the foreign demand will rule quiet at times, but there seems to have been enough business already booked to take care of the jireseut movement of winter wheat. Southwestern markets all speak of a cleaning up of the day s receipts at higher prices Millers are In competition with exporters and country offerings do not seem to be heavy. Argentine wheat is quoted some 30 cents higher than United States varieties laid down In Europe, and Australian wheat is said to be arriving in Europe in poor condition. From this basis it can read ily be assumed that foreign demand will continue to appear in North America. Apropos of the milling demand for wheat, we wish to emphasize that new orders Jor flour specify immediate shipmeut, mean lug. of course,- that supplies in hand are exhausted. It Is admitted that there 1* an almost total absence of investment buying. The market seems to be entirely of s merchandising character, therefore, with the demand from millers aud exporters sufficient to accept the unprecedented movement now’ going on it follows that any broadening of the demaud or any failing off in the movement from the country, the entire market will show strength. It seems ta us au opportune time to overlook business conditions and to realize that the heat and drought have been world-wide, which means uu inevitable shortening of all crops Corn pnd Oats — Forecast of cooler weather with possible showers hat depressed the corn market, although it will be noted that cash values have held firm. There is a constant export demand, with farlly good business done each dav. Crop advices are generally favorable hut we submit the idea (hat the crop cannot be rounded without generous rain. The poor quality of new oats is a weakening fno tor in the market, but it occurs to us that damage to pastures bv heat and drought will, In the course of time, bring anew demand for oals irrespective or their quality. ITovtstona—The firmness In hog products was In sympathy with hogs. Some realizing sales were met on the advance, market being neglected thereafter.

Wear Hearts in H air

The women in far Japan wear their hearts not on their alcoves, but in their tresses. Their reveal their age and their married bliss or their single blessedness. The uhoto on top shows the married woman, whatever her age, proudly dresses her h,( r this way. Below Is the bethrothal coiffure worn aby the ' ' "i-.'

cobs home—fen dogs, two score cats, and two parrots. The care of these pets, however, represents only a minor part of the activities of the two workers Both are officers in the Wyandote County Humane Society and labor incessantly to benefit animal life through that source. With all this the Jacobs are not unmindful of the needs of unfortunate children and even adults of their city, as they are active in the Associated Charities. .Miss Sarah, who was found at home busy with her charges, said that her first instruction in humane work was when she was a little girl and her father taught her that it was just os easy to step around an ant hill as to crush it with her heel. IVhiie thoroughly orthodox in their theology, the Jacobs believe firmly that most of the sin and suffering in the world has followed man's habit of killing and abusing animals. There is nothing mawkish about their views, however. Miss Sarah, as president of the Humane Society, has personally chloroformed hundreds of diseased, deformed, and homeless animals. "It sometimes is expedient," she said, "to remove them to avert further suffering When it is necessary to put an animal to sleep 1 always utter a word <’f prayer, taking full responsibility for the act.” Asked about the cost of pursuing their humane work. Miss Jacobs said it amounted to S6OO or S7OO a year.

ITALY BOOSTS PAY 200 LIRES Pays High Cost of Living Indemnity to Employes. ROME. July 26.- Another high cost of living indemnity of 200 lire a month ha* " been announced for Italian government! employes. This I ' lndemnity, it is hoped, will put an end to the frequent disturbances and annoyances which in the past have marked government services, such as demonstrations before the various min' istries, several day strikes and “white strikes," or the abandoning of work for a few hours on the part of employes. The question has been a serious one, for tlie salaries of government employes did not rise apace with the cost of living, although the government had repeatedly accorded previous high cost of living indemnities. People were beginning to wonder whether Italy, unfavored as she is by nature for industry aud exports. and poor indigenous resources, was at present able to pay her employes a decent living wage. Forced to live in large measure on what she can acquire outside her borders, the country seemed confronted by the same problem as would present itself to a private individual who, living in an expensive quarter, had not the means to maintain himself and could see no hope in the immediate future. However, the question of the Government employes, indemnity seems now quite satisfactorily settled, for the while at least. The railway men and magistrates, who benefited by another recent Increase in salary, are not included in the present indemnity. The other employes will each receive an additional 200 lire a months except the following, who. on account of having recently been accorded Indemnities. will receive lesser amounts: Postal, telegraph and telephonic employes, military officers, without consideration of rank, university professors, and instructors in secondary, classical, technical, nautical, normal, and art schools, including music and drama, will receive each an additional 160 lire monthly. Noncom-t missioned officers who remain permanently in the army, government investi-i gative agents, and teachers in elementary schools are granted an additional .100 lire per month. It is not worthy that the conditions of labor in Italy at present are such that an army major and a railroad station ticket collector whose duty is merely tq gather in tickets at the gate, receive Just about the same salary. The Italian government fully realizes the shortcomings of the present salary system and has promised that as soon as the new parliament is opened tho council of ministers will present a bill for the complete reform of the State administration. which will include simplifle :tion of service and reduction of personnel. Os course, each employe trust* that he may be maintained in service, but in the meantime all must be content with-, the new dispositions.
