SLUGGISH TRADE MARKS DEALINGS ’ IN STOCK MARKET Rails Move Irregularly While Industrials Assume Waiting Mood, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—Belgium’s reply met the British reparations note, suggesting the resumption of the allied conferences to replace diplomatic advances, added to the Wall Street's belief that definite steps might be taken in the near future toward bringing about an allied accord on reparations, together with favorable domestic developments over the week-end caused the stock market to display a steady tone into day's early dealings. Davison Chemical continued its rapid advance, reaching a new 1923 high while fractional gains were general among industrial leaders. First Hour Speculative interest was at a low ebb in the first hour and trading was limited with price changes confined to a narrow range. With a protracted week-end in sight over Labor Day and considerable uncertainty still existing with regard to fall business prospects, traders were hesitant about making new commitments and rails moved iraregularly, reflecting the widely varying character of July earnings statements at hand. • Second Hour Bullish enthusiasm kept from waning altogether through special strength in individual stocks in the late morning. Davidson’s further rise induced sympathetic strength in United States Industrial Alcohol and in Barns-Dallis, because of the interest of these companies in gasoline mixtures, but industrials generally were in a waiting mood though enough was derived from further data to indicate that the extent of the summer falling off in business had been overestimated. Noon Hour Stocks developed relative activity at rising prices in the wake of renewed demand for industrial leaders in the noon dealings and recoveries averaging a point took place in Steel. Studebaker, Baldwin and American Can while a number of specialties scored sharp gains. Owens Bottle was included in the group, rising to new high ground on the movement while resumption of pool operations in Gulf States Steel carried that stock to new levels on the current move. Fourth Hour Sugar stocks at the beginning of the fourth hour displayed the strongest tone of recent weeks with American Sugar reaching new high ground on the recovery, followed closely by Cuba Cane. Wall Street is taking a more favorable outlook for sugar band the opinion Is expressed that prices are around the bottom and this view’ was strengthened by the action of leading refiners in advancing prices. The improvement spread to the general list and by 2 o’clock the upturn had gained considerable momentum. Closing Hour Studebaker achieved the highest ground reached on the current recovery in the early part of the final hour and other industrials and numerous specialties experienced sharp rallies while some of the standard rails also made good gains. Gains in this section were largely due to covering operations, following the sharp advances of such stocks as Davidson and Alcohol. Toward the close dealings fell off somewhat, but closing figures were well In advance of opening prices. Twenty active industrials Saturday averaged 91.59. off .33; tw’enty active rails averaged 78.65. off .27.

DULLNESS MARKS GRAIN TRADING Wheat, However, Manages to Display Firm Undertone, Bu L nited financial CHICAGO. Aug. 27.—After the first hour's trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today the market turned dull j and was largely local, bul wheat j showed a fairly firm undertone. There appeared to be some Invest- I ment buying May deliveries which were strongest. The general market, j however, was held in check somewhat by the easiness In corn. Sales to store amounted to 200,000 bushels. Corn was easy most of the day on account of warmer weather and more favorable crop reports and the general belief that if warmer weather follows the rains it will boos vast benefit. Oats were dull and neglected, fractionally lower In sympathy with corn. Provisions firmed up late In the day on reports of better prices. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 27 WHEAT— Prev. Open. High.

Armistead said. Ideal Is Urged An ideal of service must he held up, and friendliness, faith with one another, must be taught, he concluded. The motion picture and the automobile have made it harder to get boys and girls to read now than it was a few years ago, John Haynes, manager of the State young people's reading circle, said in a talk on "The Value of Good Book*." "Children must learn to read good books, to overcome the Influence of bad books, and sometimes, of the movies," he said. Haynes pointed out that the books supplied by the reading circle for supplementary reading are quite modern, one even having a chapter on evolution, in which It is asserted that man did not spring from the monkey, but that both had a common origin. "It is more worth while to be taught to love reading than to learn arithmetic,” he said. This afternoon a representative of the teachers' retirement fund and Professor Paul Hayward were to speak.

Snethen, president of the Federation of Community Civic Clubs, will speak Tuesday morning on “Civics and Teaching Citizenship to Children,” and In the afternoon on “The Power of an Ideal.” Dr. George R.

PINCHOT WARNS AGAINST STRIKE i (Continued From Page 1) health among millions of American families, loss of comfort, of working power and of time. “I express a truth that none can deny when I say that the anthracite using people of the United States are losing patience and I ask you to consider that fact with care. Must Compromise “The public demands that this controversy should be settled and that a suspension of mining shall' be avoided. "Settlement means that neither side can get everything it would like to have. The public needs and must have coal and I am entirely confident that the public is going to have it. "It is my duty by every lawful means at my command, to insure to the public the necessary support.” Pinchot granted a veiled assurance to the miners that he would not press for arbitration of the matter when he said: “I am fully aware that the strike is a right which would not be arbitrarily abridged’ or denied." Acting For State Speaking before the delegates assembled in half-moon formation about him, Pinchot opened his remarks by stating he had called them together "for the purpose of finding a way to keep the anthracite mines in operation." He said he was now acting “solely In my capacity as Governor of the State of Pennsylvania and with the rights of the State of Pennsylvania and other anthracite- usAie: States clearly in mind.” Eleventh Hour Here “We are now on the threshold of winter." he told them. “I call your attention again to our duty to the public, yours as miners and operators, mine as executive of *he only anthracite producing state. , “The eleventh hour is upon us—• and the crisis has now been reached. We must do in this eleventh hour whflt should have been done before. “It can be done and must be done.” Explaining why he invited the miners to confer secretly with him first, he said they were "the plaintiffs in this case." Meetings to Be Secret Other conferences besides these two may be arranged later, he suggested. He said he proposed to treat the conferences as confidential and asked that both sides refrain from making a public declaration during them. He said the urgency of time Justified that. Pinchot diverted the greater part of his remarks to the public. He said the public interest in the strike is twofold: 1. It Is utterly wrong that the people should be made again to bear the enormous and most oppressive burden of & shortage 2. The people want a just settlement because an unjust arrangement could not endure. Country Is Prosperous The Governor pointed further to the fact that the country now is entering upon a period of prosperity after prolonged depression. "Our railroads are heavily taxed already," he siad. “An uneven output of coal will tend tp block transportation and the blocking of transportation will be almost as effective in making a coal shortage as closing the mines." Philip Murray, first vice president of the United Mine Workers, headed the union delegation \t the conference. He told newspaper men before going that he had full power to act.

Movies Taken The conference room was crowded with newspaper men and there were two movie photographers who filmed the conference. Mrs. Pinchot came in with the Governor and sat with him while he spoke. Ho made his speech carefully and made no extemporaneous remarks. Concluding, he asked whether either side had any subject to plac* before the open conference. Both answered in the negative and then Warriner arose and said: "We would be very glad to accept the invitation.” Murray half hrose from his chair said: "The miners also will accept." The conference then broke up. Indianapolis Stocks —Aug. 27 — Bid. Ask. Am Cent Life 200 Am Creosoting Cos pld 06 • • • Belt R R com 60% 71% Belt R R pfd 82% ...
