Bu United Press NEW YORK. *Aug. 21—Selling came into the stock market today after early firmness. Rails made the widest declines and industrials followed. Utilities held smaller losses and oils and coffees were about steady. Trading continued quiet, tickers leisurely moving through the morning. Steel common, which opened at 168 and then crossed that point, dipped back to 166' j, off l'a from the previous close around noon. Other issues were down fractions to more than 2 points, a few issues making wider declines. Railroads Weak In the railroad division Southern Railway made anew low since 1925 at 76, off 4'a and anew low for the year was made by Baltimore & Ohio at 97>.i. off 2%. Canadian Pacific lost 2% to 171'- and Pennsylvania a point to 71’ 2. , Heaviness in the rails aim the sharp break in Gillette worked against the list which had to contend with an accumulation of adverse news since the beginning of the week, including several dividend reductions, lower car loadings, a reduction in crude oil price by one producer and lower earnings statements. Call money today was easier, renewing at 2 per cent and holding there with concessions to 1% per cent on the outside. Warner Brothers Off Warner Brothers Pictures met pressure in the early afternoon that drove it down to within % of its low for the present sotek. Autostrop Safety Razor went down more than 7 points with Gillette rumors being persistent that negotiations for a merger of the two companies had fallen through. During the early trading prices held near the previous close for a time and then the list presented a better tone. Bears saw several openings with weakness in coppers, oils, rails and ' special issues and pushed their advantage. Those who had profits took them, but selling did not gain in volume and the list met support In many sections.

In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Interesting at least is the result of Assistant Secretary Klein's poll of bankers as to when “good times" will return to business. OctoDcr is the time set by two-thirds of those queried. Not later than Jan. 1 is the opinion of the remainder. Supporting this conclusion it is noteworthy that the steel journals anticipate better business in September. Not only arc the railroads expected to be an important factor in the demand for steel, but also for other equipment. This fact is brought out in the large order placed yesterday by the Reading railroad with the Westinghcuse company for supplies in the road's electrification program. Omission and reduction of important dividends naturally is disconcerting. As a rule such action is forecast in the conduct of the stock in question. Unquestionably further dividend adjustments are ahead, but the market as a whole seems well prepared for them, as demonstrated vesterday. F'or that reason our suggestions for the purchase of stocks are confined to the seasoned companies, where dividend records are satisfactory and earnings prospects favorable. Bull Injures Man Timet fi/ffriai EDWARDSPORT, Ind.. Aug. 21. A broken rib and severe bruises were suffered by William Lawhead when attacked by a bull at the Killion south of here.

WEAK REPORTS FORCE LEADING CEREALS DOWN Corn and Oats Hold Steady as Wheat Prices Take Slight Drop. Bn United Press ... CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Wheat closed lower on the Board of Trade today after a session of wide fluctuations. Breaks met with good buying, but when the buying stopped the market would again ease. Trade was light and good buying or selling had a considerable influence. Corn was sharply higher early, September rising around 2c to within about 3c of the crop's high time, but profit-taking checked the advance and kept the market to small fractional gains. Oats were closely behind corn during most of the session. ' At the close wheat was to Ts cent lower. Corn was % to % cent higher and oats were % to 1 cent higher. Provisions were firm. Liverpool jlosed unevenly after its steady decline during the day with prices cent lower to ’s cent higher. Export trade was egain disappointing, other exporting countries underselling the United States. Cash prices were unchanged to % cent higher. Receipts were small at 43 cars.

The strong cash situation is again giving the corn market strength, especially the September delivery, which acts very tight. After a hesitant opening prices shot nearly l'a cents higher on large buying orders. Cash interest took September while locals bought the deferred months. A feature early was short covering in September. The market ran into profit-taking sales that took the edge off the advance, but at midsession gains of better than 1 cent were held. Charters for 200,000 bushels to Buffalo were made early. Cash prices were unchanged to 1 cent higher. Receipts were 211 cars. Oats advanced fractionally with corn, the cash situation remaining strong. There was also some short covering in this pit, especially in September. Cash prices were unchanged to Vi cent higher. Receipts were seventy-eight cars. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 21— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.
