MILS CONTINUE FORM ME IN ILL STREET Activity of Leading Carriers Reflects Indifference Toward Strikes. VARIOUS ISSUES CAIN Industrials Reach Profitable Class During Last Hour on Markets. By United Financial NEW YORK. Aug. 9.—The Wall Street Journal today says: Railroad stocks led the market in a further demonstration of indifference regarding labor troubles. Standard stocks like Union Pacific and Chicago & Northwestern continued their forward movement into new high grounds .or the present rise, while activity at advancing prices was maintained uiost of the session in Atchison, Southern Pacific, Chesapeake & Ohio and similar representative Issues. In the face of the persistent failure of the strike situat.on to show improvement, the strength of the carrier group plainly reflected Wall Street’s belief that the dispute with the shop crafts has done nothing to alter the outlook for higher prices for railroad stocks this fall. Persistent accumlation since labor complexities broke out in July, in the opinion of Important financial interests, will eventually be translated into terms of the stock market, no matter what temporary obstructions are encountered. Industrial stocks ran into heavy profit taking during the Lost hour, but not before important advances had occurred In many sections of the list. North American and People's Gas obtained new 1922 highs in the van of an outburst of buying enthusiasm in the whole public utility group. SearsRoebuck reached anew record strike for the year in a further demonstration among the merchandising issues, while leather stock and similar groups which are in position to benefit from improved trade conditions, were in demand at better price levels.

CORN HO WHEAT PRICES DESCEND: DEipSERT Government Crop Report Adds to Prevailing Weakness, of Grains. Bp United Financial CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—1 .ack of export demand was felt on the Chicago Board of Trade today and grain prices touched new low levels for the season. Prices were 6harply lower than yesteray’s average at the close. Wheat led the market on the decline. Reports from all sections of the Canagian Northwest give evidence of an enormous supply of spring wheat. Traders in Chicago found no demand from eastern houses and exporters were absent from the pit. Corn was quick to follow wheat on the decline, and had considerable independent weakness In the wake of the bearish Government crop report. Several sections qf the western grain belt reported Indications pointing to a bumper crop. Oats showed some stubborn spirit and was somewhat lower in following the sharp decline of the market. Prices weakened, however, and closed fractionally lower than opening levels. There was some buying near the close by one house with eastern connections. Provisions were generally dull but rallied slightly, in sympathy with higher prices at the Chicago stockyards. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE —Aug. 9 By United Financial WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET By United Financial BOSTON. Aug. 9.—There was considerable demand In evidence yesterday for secured wools wastes aud noils. More than one dealer reported he could not get enough wastes, and said that this was an indication that this is a woolen year. Although some dealers report business very dull others say the demand is increasing daily. Hopes are expressed in some quarters that some of the woolen mills In New England that have been closed due to laber troubles will reopen and result in an active demand for high grade marines. The Boston wool trade is not looking for any market advance In values but they aav no market decline can be looked for In view of the spring 1923 wool openings taking place throughout the East.

Chicago Judge Recommends War on Outcrop of \Boulevard Vamps'

i By RODNEY DUTCHER, United .Vet cs Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Aug. 9. —After every | great war, economists say, we may : expect a “wave” of something or j other. Chicago has a wave, too, after its recent “'reet car and elevated war. A wiggling wave of winsome witches, as it were, a wave stretching from the far end of the south side up Michigan Ave. and Sheridan Road to Evanston. Judge George B. Holmes of Morals Court calls them “boulevard vamps,” and before the strike began was congratulating the city on the success of his relentless war against them. But | now he declares he must start all over \ j again, and the problem is even worse. ; Boulevard vamp.* are the girls who j ! stand along- the highways and vamp ; themselves into seats beside passing nutomobilists. When the strike came police called j off the open season on boulevard! vamps und advised the girls to get | all the free rides they could—boule-1 vard camping became eminently respectable.

TRADES EXPERTS PREDICT RECORD TIELOOFUIIIS Reports From Entire World Forecast Banner Crops and Lower Prices. By United Financial CHICAGO, Aug. 9. Enormous : grain yields in practically all imporj taut fields of the world were predicted today by Chicago experts. ! Simultaneously with the receipt of the United States Government crop report, reports were received fro/n ; other countries pointing to a bigger world supply than any year since the beginning of the war. Despite the forecast of larger yields, sentiment among the grain traders would be toward slightly higher prices were it not for indications of a large world supply. Prospects for the largest crop of spring wheat ever knotm In Canadian fields have appeared during the last few weeks. Russia May Export Russia’s prospects this year are for sufficient wheat to feed herself while some experts believe she may be exporting before the end of the season. England probably will get sufficient wheat front her colonies to offset the present active demand for the Amerij can crop. Estimates from northwestern India indicate a 15 per cent heavier yield than Jast year. Australia’s yield will undoubtedly be at least average. Germany, France and parts of Italy have suffered considerable crop damage, but this has been offset by prospects for a hea\ f y yield in Roumania and Czechoslovakia. There has been some damage to the corn crop in Argentina by heavy rains, but the crop is generally good After viewing crop conditions from tho world supply standpoint, Chicago traders have been practically unanimous in predicting lower prices on all grains. BOND MARKET STRONG Liberties Shake Early Slump and Sell Briskly. By W. H. GRIMES United Financial Stalf Correspondent. NEW YORK.

Liberty 3%;5. which failed to open until trading had gone nearly a half hour and were quiet all morning at 100.96, suddenly came to life and in a few minutes a million and a half dollars’ worth changed hands at 101. Third 4*4s also joined the increased activity and prices ranged around 100.50. Railroad bonds were again the leaders. Industrials were up or down by fractions. The foreign bonds held around yesterday's closing levels and fluctuations there Bhowing no change in tho trend.

[ six days in their natural preference I for an auto ride of six or eight miles 1 to the idea of walking the distance. True, several girls complained to ! the police that they had been comj pelled to “get out and walk,” but in ! general it worked out very well. | But when the cars started again, a great many girls felt they had been missing something and asked them- : selves why it wasn't a happy thought : to continue riding to and from work :in someone else's car. Thus sprang up the new crop of boulevard vamps, like a myriad of sand fleas do after a hard rain. But: “The boulevard vamp, both proses- ; slonal and amateur, must go,” de- ; dared Judge Holmes Tuesday, wrought up over anew batch of cases, “we do not want them around j the street comers.” Along with Judge Holmes and the j State attorney’s office in the drive to end the boulevard vamp "menace” i are lined up such organizations as the Salvation Army, the Illinois Federa- ! tion of Women’s Clubs, and the Juj venile Protective Association.
