STOCK MARKET . CLOSES WEAK Stocks Under Pressure During Entire Final Hour. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Teh stock mar ,et closed weak today. Stocks were generally under pressure all through the last hour, when the list generally sold at new low prii es for toe day. Mexican Petroleum was again under preaaure. yielding over 3 poluta to 107 V General Asphalt yielded over 1 point to below 55. American Woolen was also under pressure in the late trading, yielding over 1 point to 69%. Northern Pacific at the clogo showed a loss of over 2 points from the high price of the morning. United States Steel was down to 75*-*. a loss of % of a point from Ita high of the morning. Total sales of stocks were 538.800 shares; bonds, $11,815,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon ! —Aog. 3. Irregularity, with at times extreme dullness, characterized today’s market, yesterday's closing advance being apparently a little too fast to hold. As auggested In our morning comment, there are many rough spots ahead. These are brought to public attention from time to time and they result in realizing sales and short selling of greater volume than th“ market can readily absorb. The American Sugar meeting scheduled for Aug. 10 is expected to either pass or cut to a 4 per cent basis that dividend. In anticipation of this action that stock was aggressively sold today. An analysis of the Midvale Steel statement showing a deficit of about $1,289.0.0 for the quarter ending June 30. probably explains the apathy of the public at the present time toward stocks of this class. The Iron Age speaks hopefully of the near future, suggesting tflet improvement In other industries will soon be felt in iron and steel. Meanwhie the rati market holds the center of the stage and although demand today for rails was at no time urgent, yet there was a steady absorption by commission houses sufficient to care for all offerings without material loss in price. While we subscribe to the general Idea of coming improvement in business and industrial endeavor, yet we see nothing to warrant the prediction of either a pronounced or a sustained upward movement In prices in the Immediate future. A trading attitude with acceptance of profits on bulges, replacing agsln during periods of weakness, seems the proper course to pursue. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK. Aug. 3.—Twenty Industrial stocks Tuesday averaged CO 95. up .27 per rent. Twenty active rails averaged 75.21, up 1.19 per cent. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

GRAIN PRICES SUFFER LOSSES Commission House Sales and Little Export Demand Factors. CHICAGO, Aug, 3.—Grain priees dropped on the Chicago Board of Trade today due to heavy selling by commission houses and favorable market reports. There was little export demand. After a weak opening the market showed some gain, due to covering by shorts, lut the advances W'ere lost be fore the close. Provisions were irregular. September wheat opened at $1.25, off ",*c, and closed off 3c. December wheat opened up %c at $1.28% and closed down 2c. September corn opened off %o at 59c, and lost %c additional at the close. December corn opened off %c at 59%c and closed down %e. September oats opened unchanged at 38%c and dosed off %c. December oats opened unchanged at 41 %c and closed off %'c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Aug. 3 Wheat —There seems to be a slowing down In the milling demand for wheat in Southwestern markets, the offerings going largely to elevators and exporters. Just here we want to mention that ts elevators buy the current receipts they place hedges in the future deliveries, therefore, the present primary movement is building up a load upon the market. Export demand remains slow, and it is said that English resellers are offering abroad at less than United Stares basis. Private estimates of the Canadian crop indicate a yield somewhat smaller than a year ago, but it is probable that financial conditions will necessitate an early and free movement of the Canadian crop as well as our own spring wheat crop. Inasmuch as the present market Ir too narrow to accept hedging sales of the winter wheat crop ir follows that offering# of the spring wheat crop will prove burdensome. It Is not accepted that north America has any surplus over and above foreign requirements, but It is becoming to be believed that the enforced liquidation ty the producer and the foreign buying on credit basis, means a temporarily lower range of prices. Corn and Oats—There is a rather brisk export demand for corn, but the Improved crop outlook, due to recent rains, offset this Outside of the export business the demand is slow, offerings from Illinois points have been materially increased. Private estimates of the Canadian crop of oats show a yield smaller than last year. Out this is ignored in the light of the large visible supply and tho free movement from the country. Under the prevailing apathy of the consumer and the Investor we expect corn and oats to sympathize with any weak ness In wheat Provisions—Reports of good export sales of lard failed to revive interest In the provision market: on the contrary, there was moderate liquidation In sytn 4>athy with grains and lower hogs. We anticipate Some further recession In prices, but no great weakness CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Auir. 3 Wll EAT— Open. II gli. Low. i'lo*e.

BETTER BUSINESS OUTLOOK GIVEN Charge Retailers Hold Meat Prices at War Figures. In an article in this month's issue of th" Armour Magazine retail dealers are charged with holding the prices of meat at the old prices, while wholesale prices are falling. The public. It is asserted In the Nrtlele. ik still demanding choice meat cuts and this, combined with the action of the retail dealers, is claimed to be one of the stumbling blocks of the general business conditions of the country. Improvement in general business conditions Is said to have been made in July and a better outlook for the future is given. The report In full follows; For many months the packing in dustry has had its hopes for business Improvement pinned on the Revival of export trade. This month has brough. what seems to be positive assurance of revival In that particular field of the meat packing industry. From week to week orders for export account have grown In volume, with a correspond log Increase In the exteut of Inquiries and orders for future transactions. Necessarily, as foreign business increases. the slack in domestic trade will tie taken up and a much heavier tone will underlie the packing Industry, whien. naturally, must l>e reefleted with more or less promptness upon otter ludus tries. DOMESTIC TRADE 18 BETTER. •'Domestic trade itself has been on a steadier and more satisfactory basis this mouth than has been the case for two years past. Demand for cured pork products, ordinarily heavy at this season of *he year, has been beyond expectations, and stocks of hams and bacon have moved with unusual case into domestic channels. Fresh pork trade als" has been given an Impetus due somewhat to foreign buying and an Inadequate supply of suitable hogs. The beef trade has had its ups and downs, but, on the whole, the beef situation has shown marked improvement. Collections thnt have been reported with monotonous regularity as slow* are now spoken of ns 'satisfactory.' despite the fact that the usually dull preharvest mouths are here. "Undoubtedly, the Improvement In domestic business for packing house food products reflects improvement that is being made in other Industries. Unemployment Is not so great a menace as it was two months ago. Many workmen are being absorbed it. various industries as the activities of those Industries are increasing, and ns the outlet for their products becomes wider AH of this has Instilled a general feeling of steadiness In most of the basic Industries and has led to an extension of purchases by the general public The significant feature of the market is the continuing lack of demand for the cheaper cuts of meat, which, while indicating the ability of the public to buy whit it wants when it wants if. unfortunately Indicates the lack of desire on the part of the public to taka advantaga of the more economical ways of living. One of the immediate results of a more extensive use of the so-called cheaper cuts of meat would be the reduction in price of the more expensive cuts—-ft program by which producer. packer nnd consumer would all three benefit. “By virtue of the stimulation which trade In packing house food products has received. It is most reasonable to expect that other businesses will be affected by It in tho not distant future. There is no desire to give here the thought or even the hope that commodity prices generally have reached their several proper levels, though it must he admitted that wholesale soiling prices pretty generally hive dropped to a point below which they cannot go without undue injury to the industrial fabric of the Nation. Some adjustment may yet have to be m'd" *v many lines that have not reached their proper equilibrium In the economic scheme of commodity prices, but the gen oral housecleaning seems to have run Its course. WHOLESALE PRICES SHOW DECLINES. ''Statistic* complied by the United States Department, of Labor do not seem to disclose any situation where retail selling prices have kept imce on the down grade with the wholesale i>rices, but sinee In sueh a race wholesale prices always must take the lead, it is to be expected that there will yet be hesitancy on the part of some retailers to mark down their stocks to replacement values. "The national financial situation showed further improvement during the month. The net ratio of deposits to loans and discounts in the Federal Re serve Banks reached the high point of 01 2-3—the high record since the formation of the Federal reserve system. Loan and discount rates eased generally throughout this country and in some parts of Europe, Indicating unexpected financial stability both here and in some foreign countries, England particularly. Loans continue difficult to obtain, the banks still pursuing their tactics of ex treme caution. That, undoubtedly, will continue until after this year's crops shall have been harvested. “Everything considered. It seems safe to say at this time that the industries of the Nation will enter their fall activities on a much more satisfactory and firmer basis than has existed for them for many months With the ironing out of some rough spots in the labor sun ation. and with the further curtailment of some other operating expenses, business generally shoo’d find Us equilibrium before the snow flies."
