(STOCK MARKET CLOSES STRONG IT. S. Steel Strong Feature— Studebaker Up. NEW YORK, Aug. B.—The stock mar ket closed strong today. Market developments were irregular in the last half of the day, but the majority cf issues generally maintained a strong tone, although no further advances were recorded over the prices prevailing early in the afternoon. United States Steel was in continued demand and was one of the few stocks which moved to higher levels, advancing Just before the close to 74% against the low of 73% in the forenoon. Studebaker rose from 78% to 78% and General Asphalt was up over 1 point to 51. Total sales of stocks were 296.000 thsres. Total transactions in bonds smounted to $10,282,000. —Ang. S—(By Thomson A McKinnon.) The stock market has again degenerated into the dull, uninteresting affair that it was prior to last week's little spurt of activity. Those whose purchases were responsible for that period of strength seem to have abandoned, for the time being Bt least, their bullish Ideas and are content to relinquish their holdings as the market will absorb them and await more prepltions conditions before again turnlngto the constructive side. A return to six per cent money, as well as uncertainty In legislative matters, is discouraging public Investment without which a sustained bull market can hardly be expected. Such demand as was en countered today was largely In specialities and. was without import as a general market factor. The Ha sell Barker dividend, which was passed by the local bears last week, came through with the regular amount this morning which It will probably continue to do for some time to come. And, speaking of equipments, the American Locomotive statement due tomorrow should in our opinion do much to dispel pessimism in that particular branch of industrial endeavor. Items sin h as the above will help to consolidate public opinion on the side of market improvement, but no general or permanent advance can be expected until legislation pertaining to railroads a"d taxes revision assumes a more definite form, nor until some Investment incentive is derived from sizns of distinct in commercial channels.

GAIN MARKET TONE IS DULL Wheat Prices Close Higher— Corn Gains Fractional. CHICAGO. Aug. B.—Grain prices on the Chicago Board of Trade closed Irregular today. The market was extremely dull. Wheat prices closed higher .due to reports of unfavorable crop conditions and as a reaction from the slump of the last part of tho previous week'B trading. Provisions were also higher. September wheat opened at $1.21, up l%c, and closed up lc. December wheat opened at $1.24%, up l%c, and closed %c higher. September corn opened up %c at 57%c and c’osed unchanged. December corn opened up %c at 57c and closed V - higher. September oats opened off %c at 36%e and closed %c lower. Deeember oats opened at 39%e and closed %c higher. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —Aug. 8— ■Wheat—Considerable strength was displayed today. Foreign exchange rates were decidedly higher. There were elaitn of diminishing receipts in the Southwest. There was sustained strengtn in_cash wheat with sales here early of 347,000 bushels and vessel room was chartered for 500,000 bushels not previously reported. Omaha reported 21X1.000 bushels wheat sold to exporters. Wichita. Kan., made a claim where hankers and leading grain men agreed that the big movement of wheat was over, receipts probably be cut in two this week and noted abroad, general demand from mills and exporters with prices 2 to 4 cents higher and buyers cleaning up the offerings. There were reports of further credits being extended to Germany. We have reason to believe there was more business done for export east and west today than was reported. Minneapolis noted strong cash market with receipts smaller than expected. The market is still a rather small affair partially under the influence of a large increasing visible and a prospective spring wheat movement, bur even allowing for these features, the strength showing in the cash and export position leads us to look for support on ant easy places. Corn and Oats—While cash corn prices were easier there seemed to be a very liberal demand for ail offerings of futures based largely o n the known European wants of foodstuffs following the drought conditions existing abroad. The outward movement of corn still keeps large enough to give us a decrease in the visible. Oats were subject to the same influences existing in corn and make a good response to the general firmness In other grains in spite of a littoral increase in the visible supply. While there is nothing pronouncedly bullish in corn and oats situation for the moment the price alone should have considerable we'ght with users. Provisions -Higher hogs started this market firm, but the packers seemed to have product for sale on the advance anil new siiipping orders seemed to be quiet. At the same time there are very liberal shipments both to domestic and foreign users and It Is not likely that any pro nounced de line will occur before there is again a stronger market.

Marshal Foch of France may visit the United States this fall. Ambassador Jusserand. who has just left for France, said upon his departure that he expected to bring Marshal Foch back w'Hh him in the fall. He said: “Marshal Foch is one of the most well-informed men on the subject of disarmament in the world. We can surely see that France at heart Is with President Harding in his project, although to us it seems It must be qualified,”
SUGAR IS SEEN IN CORN STALK University of Minnesota to Conduct Experiments. •ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. B.—We may soon be sweetening our coffee and tea with sugar made from the same plant that supplies the side dish of canned sweet corn if investigations planned by the department of agriculture of the University of Minnesota are successful. Rome preliminary tests last summer showed that some varieties of canner's eorn contained as high as 15 per cent of sugar, and that a fairly palatable sirup could be made from It with proper pre ltmlnnry treatment. This caused the Minnesota Legislature to create a special fund for further investigation. Dr. J. J. Williaman. of the division ol agricultural chemistry. University ol Minnesota. Is to be in charge of the in vestigations and will erect an oxperitnen tal sirup ntlil in connection with the can tiery at Welts. Minn. The best method of removing the Juice, the proper eliminating of undesirable flavors, the stage of maturity of the corn best suited for sirup making, the most economical way of handling the plant at the factory, and the breeding of special dual purpose varieties which wilt not only furnish high quality ears for canning but which will also have stalks with abundant Juice of high sugar content, are some of the problems awaiting immediate solution. "There are three kinds of sugars In corn, glucose, fructose and sucrose,'' declares Dr. Willaman. “The latter is the same as cane sugar, and constitutes the crysrtalllzabie portion. It reaches a high percentage only at maturity of the plant, Since the sucrose and fructose predominate, the new sirup will be much sweeter than the present corn sirup, which is made from the starch of the corn grain and ccntalus mostly glucose. "At the present time there are thousands of acres of stalks In our sweet com States that go to waste. If use can be made of this material both the canners and the farmers will realize onm more the value of chemistry to modern industry.'' Peter Collier of the Uni-tod State* Bureau of Chemistry, once looked to corn stalks as a possible source of granulated sugar. lie actually made hundreds of pounds of sugar from both sweet and field corn, but the yields were uncertain ; and as ahmit that time beets gained the ascendency as the sugar crop of the country, the results with corn were soon forgotten.
RAINS GREATLY All) CORN CROP Corn Planted in Sandy Soil Badly Fired. Corn generally was greatly benefited by the good rains and cooler weather of the past, week, but that planted on sandy soils was badly fired and is beyond aid. says the weekly State crop letter issued today by George C. Bryant, agricultural statistician. The report in full follows: “The past week has been somewhat cooler and good rains occurred in all sections of the State which were very beneficial to growing crops. "Corn generally was materially benefited by good rains the first of the week, but that planted qn sandy soils was fired so badly it is beyond help. Some of It has been cut for forage. “Winter wheat In the northern part of the State shows considerably higher yields than in the southern part. Thrashing is completed and yields and quality are poor. "Spring wheat is practically a failure and many fields have been abandoned. “Oats thrashing is practically completed. Yields and weight per measured bushel are very light. Some fieidß were cut for hay, while others were abandoned. “Barley is in about the same condition ns oats. “Rye is in about the same condition as winter wheat. “The late potato crop is very poor. Some fields have a fair vine growth but no potatoes. Others have neither. “Cooler weather has been very beneficial to ail truck crops. “Tobacco shows some improvement over last week, but will not produce more than half a crop. “Tree fruits continue to show deterioration. Grapes show improvement. “Live stock is in fair condition. Pastures are gone in some localities and farmers are feeding stock. “The labor supply is said o exceed the demand. "Cider making Is fairly general and some of the apple crop will be realized on in this way.” AUSTRALIAN C ENSUS. MELBOURNE, Aug.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE BALKED IN ITALY BY POLITICIANS Giolitti Declared Enemy of Equal Rights by Leader of Milan Organization. MILAN. Aug. B.—Not the least eager,' for the resignation of Mr. Glolitti as premier are the women who are working for suffrage in Italy. “Mr. Giolittl has been the most phlegmatic and impregnable enemy of woman suffrage In all Italy.” said Prof. Margherita Ancona, chairman of the Milan suffrage organization, in an Interview. The situation for suffrage, according to her, is very bad; but the imminent end of Giolittl's administration will do much to raise tho hopes of Italian women. Twice a bill has been passed by the Chamber of Deputies of Italy granting suffrage, but both times anew election has been called before the question was taken before the Senate, and so has had to be Introduced again to the Chamber. LIKE POLITICIANS OF OTHER COUNTRIES. “Politicians In Italy,” she said, “are like politicians In all other countries on the subject of woman's vote. The Popclare declare that woman suffrage will add votes to the Socialist Party. The Socialists declare It will bring votes to the Popelare, and the Constitutionalists are afraid of both. In addition, there are those conservatives who want to limit the vote for men and'so would never dream of giving votes to women. However, if the government introduces a bill, which we hope It will whenever there is a change of premier, the Socialists and Popelare will both have to vote for it, and It will agnin pass and go to the Senate—ls the next premier does not go to the country again before that,’’ Despite the general discouragement of the suffragists, there are a few optimists who are already preparing for the day when women will have the vote. Signora Hesso of Rome has organized a woman's party, the Unione Polities Nazionale. which, she declares, will work for the interests of women, and will enter the elections, when women have the TOta, with its own electoral lists. DISSENSION WITHIN RANKS. Already the women of Italy are dividing on this question of whether or not there should' be a woman’s party. Within the ranks of those who are fighting for suffrage there has come • further split with the recent election —• 1 split that grew out of the fact that many women took part In the party propaganda preceding the election. In Milan, as well as elsewhere, the more progressive leaders of suffrage declared that women should urge the election only of those men who had pledged their votes to suffrage—a program very like that of the National Woman's Party of the United States. This policy was defeated by women who were eager to support one party or another, however. Professor Ancona, who was particularly opposed to women taking part in the election, except on tho suffrage Issue, says: "The reason we don't get suffrage in Italy la because the politicians are not afraid of ns, as the American politicians were of the women there. It would be impossible to adopt a feminist militant movement in Italy, but it would 1-e an excellent thing if we could. Probably if Mr. Giolittl had been made as uncomfortable as Lord Asquith was In England or President Wilgon In America, he would have done something for suffrage instead of sitting dumb.”
DRY INFLUENCE CHECKED BY U. S. Policy of Fairness to All Adopted by Government. WASHINGTON, Aug. B—A peculiar form of intimidation, which has caused existing laws to be made the plaything of propagandists, has been stopped with a jolt. Dry leaders of every shade, who have been getting away with a lot of things that don't jibe with unbiased administration of justice, have awakened with a feeling in the head that now convinces them that the political wheel has brought anew day and anew way of doing things. This does not necessarily imply that the new Administration is less dry than the old. or that It is In any sense less ilive to the emergency which confront* the country in enforcing the laws as they stand on the statute books. But the pernicious activity of certain dry enthusiasts, who have monopolized the time and attention of certain official* of the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice, and invoked their power almost at will In making the Volstead law a vehicle to impose bothersome citizens has been halted, and unjust rules upon certain classes of The un-advertfsed control and domination of the ‘drys” over the prohibition unit has become something of a scandal among those of sedate officialdom, who frown upon the employment of outside “influence” in shaping official acts, which affect all the people rather than some small part of it. Drys who have had a habit of actually writing regulations for Treasury officials to sign, as written, have passed along with another regime. They are not found around the inner precincts of the dry law chiefs. Initiating or suggesting what shall be done, all the while with some consciousness that the overzealous dry loaders will be carried out in toto. The weldbme stgn still hangs on the doors of Treasury officials. But not for the type, either wet or dry, who would try to “put over” anything that Is not fully warranted by law, or as the Intent of Congress has it, may be interpreted by the duly-constituted legal advisers of members of the Cabinet. And for that there is much to be thankful. Little Is known outside of Washington of the baneful Influence described.
