REPARATIONS NOTE ► UNSETTLES TRADE IN MARKET Operators Regard Coal Developments as Constructive —Lists Open Lower, OILS UPSET EXCHANGE Independent Group Loses Recent Recoveries —Rails Are Heavy, The WALL STREETJOURNAL NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—C0al strike developments over night were looked upon as constructive. Indications were that the miners probably would get a 10 per cent wage increase and a strike would be averted. This favorable report, marketwise, was offset by publication of the full text of the French premier’s note on reparations, which left no doubt that a settlement of the problem was still distant. The result was that the Exchange showed a distinctly reactionary tone in the early dealings. First Hour. Industrials, which led the recent recovery, displayed substantial losses from the week's high on the initial transactions. The rails were heavy, retlecting a falling off of 59.968 In car loadings for the week ended Aug. 11. Stocks were unsettled in the whole list by another outbreak of selling in the oil group. New lows on the movement were touched by the Pan-Americans, while Cosden, Producers and Refiners, Marland and other active Independents lost their recent recoveries. Second Hour. Industrials generally drew away from the influence of the oils and fair recoveries were scored by Can, Studebaker, Steel and Baldwin. The rails continued unsettled, owing to persistent pressure on the Northwestern groups. Northern Pacific made anew low on the movement at 56% and Great Northern preferred at 52%. This heaviness did not check a bullish demonstration in the Eries, first preferred reaching anew 1923 high at 23% and the common at 14%.
Noon Hour During the noon hour a rally affecting a numper of the active oils occured. Prices bid fair to renew strength shown in the past few days. Strength In the Erie rail group gave rise to rumors that the D. L. & W. had already acquired the controlling I Interest In the Erie property. Some foundation was given this report by the fact the First National Bank controls the D. L. & W. and much of the recent buying so Erie has been credited to George F. Baker. Fourth Hour - Following recovery, prices again turned downward, reflecting apprehension regarding the cooperation promised by bituminous miners in the event of a walk-out in the anthracite fields. Enough concern was aroused In the financial community to help the professional crowd working on the side of declining prices. Rallying , tendencies were checked and special weakness cropped out in FamousPlayers and International Harvester. Twenty active industrials Wednesday averaged 92.13, off .05; twenty active rails averaged 78.76, off .55. Local Bank Clearings Local bank clearings Thursday were $3,146,000; bank debits were $4,961,000. New York Money Market Bu United Financial NEW YORK.

The market showed an uneasy feeling throughout the session, due to anxiety among dealers regarding relations between France and England. Good buying In September wheat by big short Interests made that grain break away from the trend of the market and It finished a quarter cent higher. December closed % lower and May was unchanged. Canadian weather was reported warmer and there was no confirmation to rumors the recent cold snap had caused damage to the crop. September corn featured the day’s trading. A disposition in all quarters to sell was apparent from the outset and prices gained slightly on occasional rallies. It finished lc lower. December and May corn followed on the downturn, each closing a quarter lower. There was little trading In oats, yet this grain showed independent spirit, prices fluctuating mostly against the trend in the other pits. The finish was at even figures for September and fractionally lower for the deferred deliveries. Provisions closed higher in line with hogs. Chicago Grain Table —Aur. 23. — WHEAT— Prey. Open. High.

CHICAGO. Aug. 23. —“When people find out the real condition In regard to this last crop of wheat there will be a quick upturn In the market," says N. B. Updyke. "I believe Nebraska will have 5,000,7)00 bushels loss than the government figured In its last estimate. There has been a great amount of wheat lost owing to the weather. ” Twenty-five per cent of the Ohio wheat crop will be fed on the farms, according to C. J. We‘t, of the State Federal Crop Reporting Bureau of Ohio. His report covers the.entire State. Prospects lor the wheat harvest in Europe are somewhat better than a year ago. except in the United Kingdom, Spain and Southern Italy, according to the survey 'made to determine Europe's probable import requirements during the next year. In consequence. it was said the import needs of Europe are less than last year. The local trade was Inclined to favor a strong position for com despite the fact that the short interest in September had , been materially reduced.

NEW YORK—A block of 1.600 shares of Piggly Wiggly stock was sold at auction yesterday for $1 per share.

The secretary said if there would be a srike of anthracite miners he did not believe jjt would materially affect business. He poirrted out that anthracite was used mostly in households. CURB IS LISTLESS AS TRADERS WATCH NEWS Oils Manifest Tendency to Finn I p; Doals Off Market. By United Financial NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The listless performance of the curb market today reflected a wholly waiting attitude on the part of traders W'ho find themselves in a position of uncertainty between the harassing influences of continued bearish oil developments and the seriousness of the anthracite situation. The latter con l slderation kept the coal issues almost completely off the list throughout the session. The oils, though generally off, manifested a tendency In the afternoon to firm up at prevailing levels. This was due, in part, to the light trading, but also was induced somewhat by the better gasoline prices in the Texas region. In the afternoon the market was soft In around 62% while Ohio Oil was off 1% at 66% and Imperial, one at 98. Prairie Oil & Gas dropped three to 173 but got back to 175. Vacum improved % to 45 and New York was almost inactive at 38%, up %. Independent oils hesitated In the main, although Cities Service dropped 1% to 132. The Wyomlngs barely moved.
