STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Slight Rallies Occur in Final Hour of Trade. NEW YORK. Aug. 9—The stock mar ket closed steady today. There were slight rallies In the last hour following the sharp declines that occurred in the early part of the afternoon. bnt business continued small and the market was generally of a sluggish character as It has been during the preceding part of the day. United States Steel made a alight rally from its low level and Baldwin fell to 74%. Similar upturns were noted In a number of other Issues and only a few stocks showed any material change at the close as a result of the day’s trading. Total sales of stocks were 316,100 shares; bonds. sl2-816.000. —Aug. 9 (By Thomson A McKinnon.) There was little In today's market to deserve comment other than that extreme dullness was accompanied by a reasonable degree of stability. Rails again were wanted, though price advances were slight. Demand in this particular department Is based on improved earnings and expected favorable Government action regarding railroad financing. Without wishing to appear unduly pessimistic. we offer for your consideration the thonght that a demand for reduced freight rates might possibly accomnany such action. In which event much of the beneficial effect would be nullified. The situation in steelg and coppers do not, as yet. admit of much enthusiasm, although better things are looked for later on. The supply of both In the hands of the Government is so large that competition with the producer seems inevitable. The iron and steel Institute gives July production of steel ingots as 816.376 gross tons, the''smallest thus far reported. In view of the expected action at to morrow's sugar meeting, that stock held well, while General Electric, because of dividend uncertainties, was under pressure. The American Locomotive statement, which, in our opinion, should have been received with much approval, was apparently disregarded. While we are gradually growing nearer a more normal business condition, the path ahead is so full of uncertainties that little in the way of substantial priee improvement cab be expected in the Immediate future.

GRAIN PRICES SUSTAIN GAINS Producers Hold Part of Crops From Market. CHICAGO. Aug. 9. —Grain prices went higher in trade on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to the tendency on the part of producers to hold back a part of their crops. Famine conditions in some of the European and Asiatic countries also had a tendency to boost prices. September wheat opened at $1.22%. up %c, and made another advance of lc before the close. December opened 1c higher at $1 20 and made another slm'lar gain later. September corn showed an advance of %c at the start at 57%0 and closed up %c December opened at 57%c, up %c, and closed %'' higher Opening %e higher at 37, September oats made another like gain before the close of trade. December was unchanged ut 40c at the start and went %e higher before the close. Provisions- closed* lower. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —Aug. 9 Wheat—A slowing down in the move meutt of winter wheat and a continuation of. export demand for wheat, corn and rye were the outstanding features today. Cash wheat buyers seemed busy In Chicago, Omaha and the Southwest. Prices were firm all around with New York confirming over one million bushels closed yesterday and five hundred thousand bush'-'i early today to Belgium and France. "• le volume of trade was light pending cue Government report to come after the close today We think the foreign Bit ion, taken as a whole and including the Russian position, coupled, also, with reduced estimates of Argentine wheat surplus left to be shipped. Is gradually making an lmpres slon on the trade to the effect that all the wheat and corn, oats, rye and pro visions that can be cleared from North America this summer and fall will be shipped nnd that a hardening of values will result. This, with a full understand Ing of the probable spring wheat movement on both sides of the line too. We hear of more disposition on part of some Southwestern farms to hold wheat and market slower from now on. Omaha received. 200 ears of wheat and shipped 338. Everywhere wheat is being received it Is on the move promptly. Sales of cash wheat at Chicago and (Jmaha since yesterday's close are estimated as high as 750.000 bushels. Exporters were in the market for flour, 5,000 barrels of soft winter flour being reported sold at New York If any weakness develops on the Government report figures we believe It will prove temporary Corn and Oats —A decidedly better feeling prevailed today. In looking for tbe basis for it we have to take the foreign needs of large quantities of food *offs for one reason and the extremely low prices ruling‘'for these grains as another. As we get Into the use of the very poor light weight oats, later, this firmness In that eereal*wlll become more apparent. Provisions —High hogs. $11.85 being paid, and which Is higher than they sold on the previous upturn, brought firm ness to the product market but the quietness of the trade prevented much action. The undertone still continues firm.

FRENCH WOMEN SAY OBEDIENCY LINE IS SILLY Brand Marital Clause in Law Useless and Humilating. ‘SUPERIOR’ MEN ARE FEW PARIS. Aug. 9. —“A husband owes his wife protection. A woman owes obedience to her husband." These two sentences figure in the marriage code of French laws and around them a fierce battle now rages In all society circles in France. The trouble came when Senator Martin, a supporter of women's suffrage, introduced an amendment In the Senate to have the second sentence suppressed or modified. M. Martin considers the sentence as too humiliating to women and think that such terms are unnecessary in the marriage laws. He believes that that affection a woman has for her busland should suffice to call for obedience without the law treating married women as though they were school children. IF MEN SUPERIOR WOMEN OBEY. Opinions of well-known Frencji women have been sought on the subject anil here are some of their answers: Madame Miropolsky, a French woman by birth and an extremely capable woman lawyer, says: “Article 213 (the one containing tbe above two clauses) is quite harmless. It carries no penalties. There are happy married couples who believe in it and on the other hand there are happy married couples who are quite of a contrary disposition. Law is power- " less to fix the rules of marital intimacy.” In the oppiion of Mile. Fanny Heldy. of the Paris Opera; “Jf the husband is really superior to his wife then the latter obeys him out of pleasure and not because the law say so. If the contrary is the case—and it Is not rare to find it so—then no law on earth will make a woman the blind-folded slave of her husband. As for husband's protection, we are quite capable of protecting ourselves and I think we have proved that. Article 213 should certainly be banished.” VIEW OF ONE WHO NEVER HAD HUSBAND. The celebrated doctress, Mile. Pelletier, is much of the same opinion. “Although I have never had a husband.” she said. “I also find Article 213 very humiliating for i women. Our country is very much behind the tfmes. In Russia the general enian- ; cipation of women is far advanced. There j marriage has been socialized—not worn- | en. All domestic work is done by proi fe*Bfonals and the education of children is given by the State. A woman can ' thereby live intelligently and indepenj dently.” I Secretary of a section of the Union for | Women's Suffrage, Madame Bnch-Cre-j mieux, finds the incriminated article "absolutely iniquitous." “To think,” she . says, “that a married woman is eonsidi ° ref l incapable of properly conducting herself: Marriage is an association; ; thpre is no chief. In practice, happily, 1 the law does not exist. But on principle I think it should be abolished.” HUBBY LIKEWISE OWES OBEDIENCE. Mile. Madelein Roch, the famous French tragedienne, would merely change Article 213. I “There Is no need to suppress the irticle.” she said. “Simply change it around and make it read that a husband owes obedience to his wife.” Madame Colette, a well-known writer, aho has been married twice, when asked i her opinion replied; “I had forgotten ail about it although it must have ■-been read to me twice. As such a text ; never existed in my married life I fed absolutely indifferent whether it is suppressed or not.” • Even sporting circles were not spared in the search for opinions on a subject which is Interesting Fraa-r so greatly, | and Mile. Helene Dutrieu. France’s fore: most woman aviator, thinks: “Woman 1 !s made to obey man. I don't think the law so badly constructed and. after all, |H is so simple not to get married if you ! *Io not want to accept the inconveniences as well as the advantages of married . life.” Uses White Spots to Add to Negro Beauty PHILADELPHIA. Aug. g. White beauty spots' for dusky complexion* made their appearance among the negroes here recently.
