Bu Untted Preen \ new YORK, Aug. 2. —Diversion of active trading into the railroad shares at the week-end carried this section of the market into new high ground since 1913. This advance and more particularly the high-grade character of the stocks \Vhich headed it attracted heavy buying from Interior points at the opening. \ This demand was largely concentrated in the investment rails, Baltimore and Ohio leaching new high ground sVnce 1915 at 102 up %. New Central advanced to the best Pprice of the current movement at 135 Vi up Vi and reading at 98% up %. Motor shares continued outstanding -features of the industrial list, with Hudson up IV4 at 73%. General Motors VA at 191 and Studebaker lVi at 58 %. Bullish activities were less aggressive around noon, being dampened somewhat by profit-taking among industrial leaders. Rails continued tb move ahead on active demand. Strength in the rail group rejected the generally favorable transportation outlook. At no time since Federal control have all of the railroads had such good earnings reports . and operating conditions for the country's railroads, generally.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Wheat slumped sharply under pressure of bearish news on the Chicago Board of Tnade today. Despite a feeble ral-, ly near the close, prices were 3% to 4% cents lower than Saturday. Cash prices suffered a setback, being from 6 to 9 cents oft at Chicago. Part of this is due to the transfer from July to the September position. Corn shows the effect of the July heat. According to the experts the yield will bo reduced materially. This made for better prices in the face of the falling wheat values. Corn closed %c to lc higher. Cash values were about unchanged. v News on oats was" bullish 1 , but prices slumped with wheat. The close was %c under the figures quoted last on Saturday. Provisions, particularly lard, were lower on the heavy hog receipts, the dip in wheat values, and stop loss orders in lard. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— ~ A °* *“ Prev „ , Opm.

ENGLISH WANT TO PAT UP WAR DEBT, SAYSLADYASTOR / Blames 111 Feeling on London \ Mail —Arrives for U. S. Visit. Bu United Pre BOSTON, Aug. 2.—The London Daily. Mail was blamed for the illfeeling of the past few weeks on the English debt situation by Lady Astor, member of the British parliament, who arrived here this morning on the S. S. Samaria, for a visit with her si*ter Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, at Dark Harbor, Me. 0 "The agitation started by this paper, caused a great feeling between the people of the two countries," Lady Astor said, "aijd had to be eventually smothered by the English government.’’ “iTie war debt cannot be compared to a purely commercial debt, and the people of England want to and will pay it. The campaign starte<l|by the Daily Mail did not express the feeling of the English people as a whole. They have only the kindest of feeling toward the people of the United States." \ ■

Favors Peace "I favor peace and look to it for consistent Improvement in ?very country," she said. “But peace at any price is dangerous. Even disarmament does not insure permanent peace, and such a step at the present time would be folly.” Lady Astor was questioned concerning her view of prohibition. It takes generations, she feels, to enforce it, but in the end the people will be won and it will be a tremendous success. The faults of the girl of today can he attributed, she said, to the mothers, wjho are exercising a lack of discipline. The mothers allow themselves to become lax and the daughters naturally follow. Her Own Daughter "I am heartily opposed to either the typical American girl or the typical English girl. A girl should be different, a type of her own, exercising her own individuality. This Is the way in which I am attempting to read my own daughter, Phyllis." Before leaving for Maine, Lady Astor arid her children, who were met at the pier by Gibson, made a short sightseeing trip of Boston.
