STOCK MARKET TONE IRREGULAR Brisk Demand for Stocks Develops in Final Hoar. SEW YORK. Aug. 12—The stock market closed irregular today. Increased strength was shown In' the market in the last hour of trading, when nearly all the leading stocks were in brisk demand from important sources, and the manner in which stocks were taken by these interests was effective in cansing substantial covering of shorts. United States Steel was in steady demand, moving up % of a point to 74*4. Studebaker was actively traded In. ranging from 71 to 73. Central Leather, which had been weak throughout the day, continued in supply, the common stock selling down to 28% and the preferred yielding 3 points to 60. Total sales of stocks were 454.200 shares; bonds, $8,231,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 12— Though many issues were under pressure, and while no advances of any consequence wag recorded in any department. there was a noticeable change for the better in sentiment in the market today. Short selling lost Its aggressiveness of the past few days and scattered baying, both for Investment and short account, was sufficient to impart a tone of steadiness to the list. The basis for the improved mental attitude of traders was the persistent rumor that certain banking conditions, which have been hanging over the market of late, haTe been satisfactorily cared for. Rumor also has it that President Harding insists no recess of Congress until railroad and Texas legislation is pass*!. In view of the above and of the rather burdensome short interest some little upturn In prices would not be surprising. We do not expect too much, however, in that direction. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. KEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Twenty industrial stocks Thursday averaged <56.42. off .29 ner cent. Twenty active rails averaged 71.30, off .72 per cent. CLEARING HOrSE STATEMENT.

Fresh receipts for the day total 6,000, while there was a holdover of 1,000 hogs from the market of the previous day. Practically all swine were bought on the following schedule: Hogs weighing 160 to 200 pounds, $11; 200 to 225 pounds, $10.73; 225 to 250 pounds. $10.50; 250 to 275 pounds. $1025, and 275 up to 300 pounds. $lO. Rough bogs brought $8.25 and down, aDd pigs, $10.23 and down. There was, however, a premium of -0 cents per cwt. paid on a few light swine, which brought $11.20, but that could not be considered within the general market. The bulk of the sales for the day ranged at $10.50(311. Trade in cattle was rather dull. The run was light at close to 400 cattle. Good cattle of all grades sold at steady prices, but there was a tendency on the part of the buyers to bid lower on medium and common cattle. A few fancy heavy fat steers sold at $10.15, which was 10c lower than the general top of the market the day before when several choice steers brought $10.25. There was a fair demand, however, for good heifers, but there were few of that grade of cattle on the market, as there was a scarcity of all other good grades of cattle. The trend of the tone of the cattle market was good. There was not so much activity at the opening, but a good demand became prominent in the last hour of trade. Calf prices were generally steady, but there were a few strong spots in cases of sales of choice veals. There were around 750 calves on the market. YYltb 400 sheep and lambs on the market, prices were steady. lIOGB.

GRAIN PRICES DROP SHARPLY Heavy Receipts and Lack of Buying Power Factors. CHICAGO, Aug. 12. —Grain prices, after a slight advance at the opening today, dropped sharply. Buying power diminished immediately after tha opening and there was not sufficient demand to keep the early gains. Export demand was light and receipts were reported fairly heavy, especially at Southwest markets. Rains fell generally over the corn belt aiding in the general decline, and in the drop in corn especially. Provisions were higher. September wheat opened up %e at $1.23 and closed off l%e. December wheat opened up %e at $1.28 and closed down 2 % c. m September com opened off %e at*s7%c and closed off %c. December corn opened up %c and closed oft le. September oats opened unchanged at 36%e and closed down %c. December oats opened unchanged at 10c and closed off %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —August 12— Wheat—The feature of today in grane was the efforts of everyone connected with the cash and export wheat Interests to work. Light offerings checked business some. Rye handlers also seemed to be busy and reported a million bushels of rye placed for export during the past sow days. Receipts in the winter wheat country showed a decreasing tendency, while the Northwest showed a little Increase and u good demand for it. Minneapolis bad sixty-six cars of winter wheat in their receipfs yesterday. Kansas City noted sham!/ increasing premiums for eaeh wheat for export via the Gulf. Recent premiums of 3%c over the market prii-e have gone to 11c to 12c over and oferings are still light. The foreign requirements are becoming more of a feature every day and by the time the spring wheat is m-ovlng well, the winter wheat should be well placed. We still expect that easiness in wheat will be of but temporary uature. Parsing trade was unusually light. The small paying power was hardly equal to the taking care of hedges and speculative offer! ns;#. Coarse Grains —While the market was dull, an early export deanand took FOO,(XXI bushels of corn No. 2 yellow corn was in demand at l%c over September. Oats were quiet and steady. The cheapness of this cereal will turn buyers to it before long. December corn was tinder pressure fro miocal trade without much resistance increasing Its discount under September. Export business should develop In corn at these prices Provisions—Hogs were up 35 to 35 cents and turned the markets tone to one of more stability. We are inclined to think tho break In product Is over for the present.

CLAIM MADE THAT POWERFUL X-RAY CAN CURE CANCER West London Hospital Issues Reassuring Statement in Experiments. LONDON, Aug. 12.—Cancer is curable! That is the announcement officially issued by the authorities of the West London Hospital. Experiments have been carried on in the horpital for months, and tho exports investigating the subject have received invaluable assistance from the University of Erlangen, Bavaria, where Professor Herman Wiata has been treating the disease with extremely powerful X-rayg. “Surgery as a treatment for cancer may be entirely out of date In a few years time through a special form of X-rays now in use at our hospital,” w*aa the announcement made by one of the officials of the West London Hospital. “The ordinary X-ray has been only partially successful in the treatment of this dread disease, owing to the limitations of available apparatus. The new treatment makes It possible to use e much greater intensity of X-rays and yot does not Injure the patient la the slightest degree. “The new treatment consists of the quite outside the range of the human quite outsid ethe range of the human vision. The current which we are using is approximately of 200,000 volts. “We have made very careful tests here of this new method of treatment, and we are prepared to say that on a very conservative estimate we can place the number of cureß in the future at double the number of those in tho past. “The difficulty in the past has been that tjie X-rays have not been able to get down to the center of the cancer without destroying tho healthy structures between it and the skin. This has been overcome at last and so successful have the results been in the women’s clinic at Erlangen that all operations for the removal of cancer have been abandoned^’ A demonstration of the use of this new X-ray ma< hine—the only one in London- which has been installed at c great expense in the West London Hospital—has been given to a body of doctors, and they are watching with great interest the results of the tests.

‘MOTOR FOOT’ IS LATEST AILMENT Continuous Strain of Long Auto Trips Affects Feet. SAN FRANCISCO, Ang. 12.—The West has added a npw number to the list of summmer complaints. This latest aci quisition is “motor foot," which, according to reports received here, has become common among Western vacationists. In the language of surgical chiropody It is Indexed and classified undor the name of “metatarsal displacement.” Continuous motoring is the cause of the ailment. It is a right foot trouble caused by the continuous strain occasioned by long motor trips when the driver keps his foot in tho strained position required by tho use of the car accelerator. This position causes a displacement of the matatarsal bones, which in turn causes them in motor language to "short” the nerves of that part of tho foot. This furnishes the answer for the pain that accompanies the distinction of possessing "motor foot.” “Motor foot" not only makes walking painful, but practically eliminates golf, tennis or any of the other popular forms of active recreation.

FARMERS HOPE EQUALIZE SALE OF THEIR CROPS' New Yorkers Form Coopera* tive Association to Secure Distribution. MARKET 50.000 CARLOADS NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—1n a furthel effort to reduce prices of fruits and vegetables to the consumer, a federation of more than 100 farmers’ cooperativg fruit and vegetable associations have jusl been organized in New York. Frulta from California and the Pacific citrus from Florida, vegetables from Texas, grapes from Michigan, apples from New York and asparagus from the Caro* linas are included In the new federation, These one hundred cooperative associa* tions market annually in the neighbor* hood of 50.000 carloads of products. The name of the organization through which the associations will market their prodduco is the North American Fruit Exchange. Headquarters are maintained in New York, and branch offices have been opened in one hundred an 4 forty citie* of the United States. HOPE TO PREVENT WASTE. The new organization is of more thai* passing interest to the consumer, as ifc opens up an entirely new plan of distribution of farm produce. “It is wall known,” said Arthur Rule, general manager of the exchange, in a recent interview, “that thousands of car-H loads of food are wasted; never reach tb consumer at all. The reason for this is, that enormous quantities of produce are shipped to central distributing points and a far greater quantity of fruits and vegetables of a highly perishable uature are offered to the consumer than can be consumed before they spoil. At the same time in the smaller cities the consumer is not getting his share of the produce.. The consumer is taxed a high price in the, big cities because somebody must bear the cost of spoilage. The consumer Lr the small city is taxed a high price because there is a shortage in his own dla-’ trict. All this is tecause of the lack of. a sane and Intelligent system of distributing produce of such a highly perishable nature. Under the mutual plan of distribution now incorporated in the North American Fruit Exchange all the farmer* represented will maintain not only their sales offices in New York, but branch offices throughout the United States. Tha central office Is in Immediate touch with the consumers’ requirements all over tha country. Now, If there Is a glut of say cabbages in Chicago (ns there was a year ago at this time, with the result that one thousand carloads rotted). Instead of shipping more cabbages to Chicago, we divide the shipments and Instruct the growers to ship to other points where the gluts are not apparent. The same is true-, of every other fruit and vegetable, and the various farmers’ and cooperative associations interested in the exchange will represent practically every known fruit and vegetable grown in this country.” EXPERTS HIRED FOB DISTRIBUTION. Aaron Sapiro, an authority on farm marketing, supervised the reorganization of the exchange on the mutual plan and the basis of the situation for tha farmers’ associations. Soplro, in discussing th organization, said: “Or.e of the secrets of success in the farmers’ marketing associations on tha coast has been their ability to hire expert specialists in distribution. Small associations cannot do this. The public and the farmer have been suffering because we have had a very poor system of merchandising and distribution. This new organization enables the farmer to give the consumer the exact quantity of a particular food product required in all the territories in whtoh the exchango will operate.” Among the larger of the farmer organizations which will market their produce through the exchange are the apple growers of the States of Y 4 ashington. New Y'ork and Virginia; grape grower* from Michigan, asparagus growers from Carolina, vegetable growers from New York, New Jersey and a dozen othei States; fruit raisers from Colorado, Utah and Florida. Practically every fruit and vegetable producing State in the Union ia represented in the new organization.
