MARKET WEAK IN MOST ISSUES AS FIRM COLLAPSES Cotton and Grain Get Short Boom by Passage of Bill to Aid Farmers. BOSCH MAGNETO STRONG Special to.lndiana Daily Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. NEW TORK, Aug. 23.—Weakness was general, although not universal in the stock market yesterday, but the gains were confined chiefly to a few specialties such as American Bosch Magneto, Phillips Petroleum and a few inactive issues that were not responsive to the influences of the day. The suspension of one of the old. established stock exchange firms, while not altogether unexpected, put a damper on the market in the early session. and the evidences of liquidation in the rails imparted considerable weakness to the list toward the close. Aside from selling produced by special causes such as in the case of the Pierce Oil shares and some of the motors, the feature of discouragement most actively exploited consisted of the possibilities that might result from the failure of t'ongress to pass the railroad funding bill. Even the adoption of this measure by the House does not save the situation for the carriers, and the probability that the law makers may leave this important piece of legislation up in the air until autumn adds greatly to the uncertainty of the business situation which is just now in need of gome constructive act to instil confidence. Cotton and grain were stimulated sharply late in the afternoon by the announcement that the House bad passed a bill authorizing the War Finance Corporation to u*e fI.OOMMIO.OOO “of its funds” to aid in the exportation of agricultural products. The Street Is puzzled over the source of this large amount, and wonders whether the passage of the measure by the House at this late date Is merely a legislative flourish. Undoubtedly any stiffening in commodity prices arising from natural influences would have a beneficial effect on the country's economic structure. — Copyright. 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. WALL STREET GOSSIP. By MONITOR. The suspension of Trippe & Cos. an nouneed on the New York exchange put a damper on such bullish sentiment as existed! The firm is understood to hav* been a relatively small factor in recent markets, but because of the high regard it had been held the effect was pronounced. Incidentally it gave new life to some old rumors. Declaration of the regular dividend by Middle States Oil did not help the stocks in this group. t'osden especially was under pressure and sold at anew low for the present movement. The selling w:i attributed to liquidation by a small speculative group who were unable to take care of their holdings. It is understood that this liquidation in no wise reflects on the future dividend prospects of the company. Bosch Magneto was one of the features r s strength in th" morning session. The buying was based on reports of new orders sufficient to increase operations from 13 to 60 per cent of capacity. The company recently added several new lines to its output, and these ar° reported to have resulted in a considerable increase hi the companies business. International Harves’er was one of the weakest features establishing anew low record. The selling ca. ie from the same sources which have t.eva liquidating their holdings for some time past. Despite the statement of an anonymous director that reductions iu prices which would lie made Sept. 1, would still leave a satisfactory margin of profit on the very large stock of completed irapleni at*. the market for the stock was thin and at times were recorded more than half a point apart. The steamship France from Havre brought s4,ii.t>o in gold to the Equitable Trust Company, and s',6s.ti consigned to the National Bank of Commerce. Kuhn. I.oeb and Company annoance they have *2.685.000 coming on the Cedric. The Guaranty Trust Company received SS7S.<CG in gold from Bombay, India. United Retail Stores which have been under pressure, after making anew low for the present movement, rallied a couple of points on the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of 11.50 per share. It is reported a s;o>culative group \vlii>-ti was active in the rise is liquidating its holdings. The sugar stock* were weak with American Sugar at anew low record for many years. The selling was a continuation of that which has been noted for many months. Some professionals took the short side this morning on an announcement of a cut In the price of refined sugar to 3.99 cents. Directors of the Ohio Oil Company declared the regular quarterly dividend of $175 ier share, but omitted the extra dividend which it has paid for many years. Three months ago the extra dividend was reduced from *2.75 to *1.25. This action proved a further discouragement to bullish operations in domestic oil. The Biitteri'k Company issued its statement for the six months ended .Tune •50. showing profits, after Federal-taxes, of $622,524. equal, after the preferred dividend. to $3.99 per share on the *11.642.100 common sto-k outstanding. This compares with 17 cents per share earned In the corresponding period of 1920. The motor stocks were weak, practically the whole group making new low records. The Pierce-Arrow issues were subjected to the same influences which have caused selling recently, while the downward move in Studeb-iker was accelerated by liquidation of a stale loug account. Heavy selling came into the railroads during the last hour. This was due in part to the belief the railwav funding hill would not be passed by the Senate before the reeess Wednesday, and in part to a liquidation by tired holders. There has been evidence of distribution in many of these issues for some time past, notably Northern Pacific. Great Northern and Reading. These three stocks received the brunt of tbe selling this afternoon. Picree Oil. both common and preferred, were the exceptionally weak features of the industrials in the late trading. An unnamed director attributed the decline to the necessities of some individual holder, while another report which re-<-eivd considerable credence was that a hitch had occurred in some contemplated new financing. United States Rubber, which has been under constant pressure for nearly a week, was heavily sold again. The selling is based on tbe report of operations for the first six months, which will be made public at the end of this week. This is expected lo be a poor exhibit. The Associated Oil Company reports for the six months ending June 30. surplus after interest. Federal taxes and reserve! for depreciation $3,019,754. equal to $7.59 per share as against $9 14 per share earned in the corresponding period of last year.—Copyright. 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

STOCKS SUSTAIN HEAVY CLOSE Leading Issues Show Losses of Fractions to 3 Points. NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The stock market dosed heavy today, with heavy selling of United States Rubber aud Kelly - Springfield. the former tailing over 3 points to 43%. while the latter yielded 2*4 points to 35%. 4’nited States Steel, after selling up to 73%. again fell to 727* and Baldwin Locomotive reacted over 1 point to 7174• Northern Pacific continued in supply, falling to 72. General Electric, after selling at 11274. fell to 111 and Studebaker reacted 1% points to 05%. Mexican Petroleum, after its advance to 95%. yielded to 93%. Total sales of stocks were 543,100 shares; bonds, $0,657,000. By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 23At the opening, sellers were again in the majority and considerable pressure was exerted against the market, especially on steel, evidently for the effect it would have in general sentiment but the market today displayed a resistance that was very welcome, and a covering movement by shorts contributed toward a moderate rally. Tbe news o' the day was favorable, and should have encouraged a broader public participation, but it is quite evident that there is slill a lack of confidence and the opinion is still entertained that these rallies will prove but temporary. The best news in some time was the announcement of the personnel of the committee representing tbe oil interests, who are to negotiate for a settlement of the troubles with Mexico. A settlement of Mexican oil controversy will do ns much as any single element in stabilizing our market. In addition to this. Congress has made progress with the railroad funding bill and here it will be found another Source of future strength for business as well as for the stock market. Traders, however, are more concerned with the immediate rather than the distant future, and as there is nothing that is likely to bring about an immediate revival in the demand for stocks, it is onlv reasonable to expect a continuation of the same policy on the part of traders, of selling on tbe bulges, while investors will gradually accumulate stocks on a scale down.

GRAIN PRICES ARE IRREGULAR Industrial Depression Causes Dull and Quiet Market. CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Grain prices moved irregularly in a dull anil quiet, market on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Timidity of professionals in entering the market because of depressed industrial conditions led to the brand of trading. Provisions, also, we reirregular. September wheat opened up l"c at $1.18%, and closed lc lower. December wheat opened at $1.17%, o %c, and closed up 2c. September corn opened at 54%c. up %c, and closed -c lower. December corn opened at 53%e, off %c, and dosed off %c. September oats opened at 34%c, up %o, and closed %c lower. December oats opened up %e nt 37%e and dosed off %c. Provisions started lower fo.* lard and steady for ribs, with a small trade. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Aug. 23Wheat—There is reason for believing that the export trade in wheat is larger than is being made public and this idea is responsible for friendliness to the market. Sentiment is also helped by a considerable improvement in the flour trade. In the spring wheat market, on the other hand, there is improvement In general demand for the deferred delivery and some believe the movement of the spring what, which is about to commence, will be an additional burden upon a market xvhere the demand is confined to export and milling interests. Australian. Argentine and Indian wheats are held above an export parity, which accounts for tit econstant foreign demand for our wheat. It is said that Germas buyers of wheat are forming a pool. Primarily this reflects their money stringency, but at the same time it suggests that their needs are urgent and that organized buying will he necessary to supply their wants. They are expected to open an office in New York, which naturally carries the idea that North America will be the chief sourc” of supply. It does not seem likely that there will lie any pronounced weakness in values in the face of the export situation, while opposed to tiiis is the idea that the lack of a broad demand will fail to enhance values to any extent, that is, for the time being. We suggest that the more favorable opportunities are to be discovered in the anticipation of ultimately higher prices. Coarse Grains—There is a little foreign demand In corn aud fair domestic demand for oats, but nothing sufficient t > stimulate the markets. Elevators are making preparations for deliveries of oats on September contracts, tliare lieisg 206PO9 bushels sold to go to store today. We see nothing in the immediate situation to bring about any advance in values, but feel that the strength in th • wheat situation will be reflected in coarse grains. Provisions—Liquidation of provisions appears to have been completed for there has been no important selling. On the other hand, there was a deonand which scented to coine from larger pnektsg interests. A moderate European trade in lard is being done. The future course of values hinges upon the amount of business of this sort. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Aug. 23 WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

CONFERENCE OF REFORMED CHURCH OPENS Various Phases of the Denomination’s Work Are Discussed. ADDRESS ON ‘PRAYER* More than one hundred and fifty delegates were present at the opening study session of the ninth annual missionary conference of the Reformed Church of the United States, today, in the auditorium of the Y. W. C. A., coming from all points in Indiana and the Middle West. Study classes in home missions, foreign missions, Sunday school work, children's xtork and women's work began this morning, the Rev. A. L. Krampe of Sheboygan, Wis„ opening the meeting with an inspirational address ou "Prayer." Prof. George Siliitz of the Theological Seminary of Dayton, Ohio, conducted a pastor's class. In his lecture on "The Minister as Prophet’’ be stated that from his viewpoint prophets are not made by schools, but speak by inspiration and that their function is to declare the truth. “Although.” he asserted, "the prophet must come from the people be is made by God for the particular work of ministering to the people.” He also expressed himself as in doubt whether salaries of ministers will be increased materially because the ministers do not seem to realize their real function. TOO BUSY LISTENING TO WORLD CLAMOR. "The trouble is," he said, "that the ministers are too busy listening to the world's clamor to hear the voice of God. There is the bread line in opposition to the gospel line and the ministers lean at times toward the bread line. Physical comforts often lure them from spiritual satisfaction." Mrs. J. String of Cleveland, executive secretary of the Brooklyn branch of the W. C. A., conducted tbe children’s division institute hour. Her general topic for the four day's course is "The Sunday School Teacher's Work," her subject for this morning being "Attitude and Prej;a ration.” "There are three things that tlie teach, cr, to be a success, must know,” she stated, "her Bible, the child and how to get the two together. But first, she must have the proper mental attitude toward the children. She must have a deep, real interest in the children themselves and must realize Hint a large part of her work is to develop a personality and to create a desire for the right things iu the child's mind instead of merely teaching him to imitate. She must not merely load children to do right things, but lead them to want to do the right things." ( ASBE.LM.YN DIRECTS MISSIONARY WORK. A class in foreign missions was led by the Itev. A. \'. 8. C’asselnian of Pbiladelpiiia, director of the missionary education of the Reformed Church. The subject for study was "How and Why of Foreign Missions." Dr. Casselman, iu iiis talk said that Christianity is not an international, but a superuational rereligion. It is the reconstructive force in economics, politics, social and educational affairs as well as in moral and spiritual life. A general discussion concluded the class. In the home missions study hour conducted by the Rev. C. E. Schaeffer of Philadelphia, the first chapter of the textbook “From Survey to Service” (H. Paul Douglass) was studied the church beiug considered as the service agency. Mrs. H. S. Gekeler of Cleveland in her class on "YY'omen's YY'ork." took up the first chapter of the mission book. "The Kingdom and the Nations" (Dr. Eric North), discussing the relations of Korea and Japan. Sunday school work in general was discussed in the study hour under the leadership of the Rev. O. B. Moor. SUNDAY SCHOOL YY OK K EMPHASIZED. Following the classes the Rev. C. A. Hauser of Philadelphia gave a talk to all delegates and visitors on Sunday school methods and conference hour, dwelling this morning particularly on equipment and preparation. He stated that the task of the Sunday school was the development of personality by means of conservation, consecration and education. Tomorrow he will give a general talk ou organization of the Sunday school. This afternoon an auto tour of the city was among the recreational features for the delegates. Tonight an illustrated lecture showing pictures of the Orient will be given by the Rev. Casselman. I.ast evening a "get-together” meeting was held at the Y‘. AV. C. A. Pr. Stlbitz delivering the address of the evening. “Pitching the Tune” was his topic 3 TOO MUCH JAZZ IN PLACE OF SYMPHONY. "There is too much jazz instead of the music of the real symphony of Christianity,” he said. "Because we as a Nation are living too fast and too far from mature; there has been a tendency (o forget the eld tune of love and turn too much to jazz.” The B*v. William Kulerim gava th* welcome address and tha musical jc<v gram, under the direction es the Rev. 9. W. Knatz of Ft. Wayne, was given by a string trio i.tcluding Carl G. Schmid, Louis Smith and Miss Evelyn Eberhardt, assisted by Miss Helen You Wilier, vocalist.
