SPECIALTIES SHOW MARKED STRENGTH IN STREET TRADE Renewal of Constructive Tendency Evidenced by Activity of Industrials, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Aug. 21. —Prices moved irregularly in the early dealings on the stock exchange today, reflecting the same influences which overturned Monday's fluctuations. News developments were without particular significance as an immediate factor. Changes in the list were principally caused by operations of professional traders. Variations from the previous close among industrial leaders were confined to fractions, mostly on the down side as a result of further profit-taking. _ First Hour Professional attempts to force the reaction further, encountered stubborn resistance. Prices among industrial leaders yielded slightly, but the recessions were so small they indicated the presence of substantial buying orders under the market. Despite the sluggishness of the main body of stocks, special issues displayed pronounced strength. Gulf States Steel reached anew high on the movement at 78%, reflecting the difficulties of an over extended short Interest. Second Hour Following the irregularity of the first hour, indications of a renewal of last week's constructive leadership were evidenced by activity in industrials. This tendency was especially marked in American Can, which stimulated the whole market by the ease with which it marched up to anew high at 98%. Studebaker, Baldwin, and other speculative leaders developed a stronger tone and a bullish demonstration was staged in the independent steels in the wake of the Gulf States advance. Noon Hour Industrials continued to display relative bouyancy, with independent steels maintaining the leadership. Bethlehem reached anew high at 62% on recognition of the difference in the situation affecting this issue from wuat it was three months ago when tht stock had to absorb the additional offerings resulting from the mergers with Lackawanna and Midvale. Bethlehem earnings are on the upgrade. Cor per, regarded as a barometer *of European conditions, advanced to c new high. Twenty active industrials Monday ave aged 31.71, off 13; twenty active rails averaged 79.63, off 13.

By United Financial NEW YORK, Aug. 21. —Reflecting a more unsettled feeling regarding the oil situation and hesitant under the influence of talk that independent companies may be driven together to save themselves from being forced to the wall. Standard Oil is restricted on the curb market today, quotations showing losses of a point or more. Standard of Indiana was back at 53 off %. Vacuum was down to 45%. New York dropped 1% to 39 and Illinois Pipe Line and Prairie Oil & Gas were off one each. South Pennsylvania Oil showed a disposition to disregard movements of the group by touching 121. a jump forward of four points, and reacting later to 118, up 1 on the day. Independent oils were in a waiting mood at fractional recessions. Dispatches from Los Angeles declare that close observers are agreed that more cuts in the price of gasoline are Jikely. There is as great an overproduction of gasoline as of crude m southern California and the number of refineries soon to be running oil is not conducive to a cheerful viewpoint. A further price cut in lubricating oil was announced today. The motor group furnished the rest of interest intoday’s session, with Peerless as leader, gaining I\4. Durant went to 40% and Reo to 18. The coal issues were down under bearish influence of the anthracite negotiations. Business News —■■ • NEW YORK. Aug. 21.—Previous monthly sale* records for Peerless cars were surpassed in July by the Boston. Cleveland and Wahington agencies. Total sales reported by the eight branches total nearly $2,000.000. This record, coming immediately after the June sales which were greater than those for any preceding month are regarded as important because they occurred tn the slack seasonal period. NEW YORK—It is reliably reported in financial circles that the government will do gome new flnaaicing within the next two months. Some bankers feel that another long term bond issue on the lines of the October, 1922. financing will be the method adopted. At that time *760.000,000 of twenty-flve-thirty-year 4% per cent treasury bonds were disposed of. It is probable the Secretary of the Treasury will announce the term* of the new plan around Sept. 15. when some certificates of indebtedness now outstanding fall due. CHICAGO—With Mml conditions beginning ot look favorable steel mill* are inclined to feel more coiMdent of the future. Railroads have placed ■pnnagee for 1924 requirements aggregatfm 300.000 tone.

CORN SETS NEW HIGH ON BOARD September Product Is Sold for 86 1-2 Cents, By United financial CHICAGO, Aug. 21. September corn sold for 86 V 4 cents a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade today, setting anew high record for the crop. Other grains were up in sympathy. Little trading featured in wheat at the opening and prices remained unchanged at last night’s closing level, despite increased export sales over night and strong Liverpool cables. Traders exhibited some aprehension over the statement issued by secretary Wallace which said In effect that grain prices are out of line with other commodities and unless something is done to remedy the situation many farmers face bankruptcy. He advocated lower freight rates Until fair relationship is restored between agriculture, industry and commerce, and until higher prices are paid for wheat, agriculture will be upset, Wallace said. Com met heavy resistance after an opening advance. Receipts continued light at 145 cars and shippers dis played anixety over the shortage of supplies to fill September contracts. Crop news was favorable, many dis tricts suffering from drought reporting rains. A fair class of buying brougnt an increase in oats prices. Provisions were light and prices on an unchanged basis.

Aug. 21.—With importers buying no wheat and with domestic millers taking only the choicest sorts, receipts are bearing heavily on the market. The “buy wheat and flour” campaign is meeting with success in Nebraska and so far has actuated an 8-eent boost in values, officials of the campaign declared. Rust damage in early Canadian fields is light while old fields euffered 30 per cent, an expert wired. Primary wheat arrivals Monday were more than double the amount received a year ago. Beneficial rains fell over-night in parts of Texas suffering froto the enduring drought. The grain trade last week was left to work out its own destiny and as a result wheat prioee advanced sc. A few more weeks' silence by self-appointed "farmers' friends'' should suffice to establish the market on a healthy basis, an expert declared.

WESTERN STATES LEAD IN PER CENT GOING TO SCHOOL East May Claim Better Colleges, but West Has the Attendance. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—D0 you want to go to college? If so, you should have picked as a home State Oregon, Utah, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska or Washington. These are the ones which send the largest proportion of their population to the universities, even though some of the beat institutions are east of the Mississippi, according to George F. Zook, specialist in higher education in the Bureau of Education. Tennessee. Arkansas and New Mexico are not strong for higher education for their young men and women. Low figures in the Routh are partly due to the large negro population, however. “Another interesting fact,” says Dr. Zook, “is that the well-developed Middle Wee tern and far Western States exceed the other States in the proportion of their students that are taken care of In their own Institutions. “The average for all the States la 74.9 per cent? In other words, taking the country as a whole, three students out of every four go to university or college in their home State. “California, Oregon, Utah,Michigan, Nebraska and New York lead the other States in this respect. New Jersey is at the bottom of the list. She Accommodates only 18.2 per cent of her students in her own institutions. “Other States not very good at taking care of their boys and girls within their own borders are Connecticut, Wyoming, Delaware, Idaho and New Mexico." Dr. Zook urges tightening up on the entrance requirements, New York State now requires high school students to make average standings quite above passing mark before college entrance diplomas are given. Boucher College requires an average high school record of 80 per cent. Kansas, Dr. Zook states, is now in the unfortunate position of having to admit to the State higher lnstituitons all graduates of accredited high schools. This state of affaire permits hoys and girls who may have taken vocational high school courses to enter college curricula for which they are totally unprepared. “Flunks,” “cons" and similar difficulties familiar in all university life are the result. The financial problem of teaching all these boys and girls is quite enough for universities and coneges to grapple with, according to Dr. Zook, but the waste of human material, when high school students who are not of college caliber want to go to school, la by far the most important part of It.

EASY HOURS MAKE WASHINGTON CITY OF WOMEN CLERKS Female Wo r kers Outnumber Men by 30,000 —Seem Happy, WASHINGTON, Au*. 21.—" The lure of Washington!” That’s what gets the women and girls who flocK to the capital city in such numbers that the census figures tell us they outnumber the men by a majority of 30.000. At least, so officials at the Government hotels say, arc they ought to know, because they deal constantly with about two thousand girls, whom their buildings house and feed for SSO a month each. It is only the last few years that the women have been so numerous here. During the war they came In droves. Many of them were eent home after the armistice. But many more of them, having had & taste of life here, were unwilling to settle down in their little towns of 8,000 population * again. They learned where civil service examinatlnoe were being given, and they took them, passed and were reinstated. W ork Monotonous It lan' that their work is so very interesting. Most Government clerks do routine work. It's monotonous and pays only about $1,200 to $2,500 a year. The latter figure represents one of the larger salaries ordinarily paid only to a specialist in some line or to one with considerable executive experience. But, on the other hand, the hours are easy—9 o’clock to 4:30, with half an hour off for lunch. Every year a civil service employe gets thirty days' leave and. when sick, the Government again is generous and provides thirty days a year which may be used up in this manner, if necessary. Moreover, a Government clerk knows that his Job is his for life if he wants it. There Is never any question about his pay coming in next month. He knows where he etands. (Stances of Marriage How about a girl's chances of marriage In Washington? “Well," answered women in charge of the Government hotels, “lots of them do get married. Many of our girls meet young men at our dances here and later on marry them. Yea, most of them marry Govern ment clerks like themselves And that usually means keeping on with their jobs. They settle down in smalj apartments and keep house and go to the office every day. “Not a real home? No. possibly It is not, but so few young people nowadays can establish real homes. “Children? No, these couples usually have no children. They can't rtf ford them. “Would they do better to stay bars home in the little towns? Well, tnat's a question. Evidently they don't think so, or they wouldn't come here." Building Permits Georg* 9. Schneider, dwelling, 87 Bolton. *B.OOO. EU*abeth Mayhew. garage, 211 S. Summit. *226.
