Federal Regulation Reduces Wheat Price CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Announcement of comprehensive plans of government control of food prices baa been mainly responsible for a sharp descent of wheat quotations In the last week. The net decline as shown by the September option, the only future delivery traded In, was 17c. Corn lost 2c to 3c and oats 3c to 4c and 4c. Provisions wound up at an advance of 10c to 60 c. The minimum price which the food control law names for next year's crop $2.00 a busheel, was assumed to be a sufficiently practical standard for the present. Widespread consideration of peace news cut considerable figure In the downward movement of corn Sutures. Announcement that the marketing of the 1917 crop had already begun in Texas favored the bears likewise, and so did assertions that a record-breaking yield for the country as a whole could be looked for, barring damage from unseasonably early frost GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO.

Peace Note Makes Stock Market Dull

NEW YORK, Aug. 18. The peace overtures from Rome overshadows all other features in this week's Irregular and dull stock market, traders siezing upon this development to depress the war shares. Delay In settlement of perplexing domestic problems growing out of the foreign coniflct also tended to keep dealings within narrow bounds. Government financing, the details of which are not yet to be officially announced, absorbed the attention of leading financial interests. It is understood that the next war loan will be preceded by a campaign of one month's duration. , i Medium, 180 to 225 lbs $17.00 Pl-a $8.O012.00 Stags $8.C0811.0) Sow $11.00012.00 Cattle.

Will you have any Goal at all this Winter? Here is the coal situation as we see itFirst There is a serious shortage of coal at the mines, the source of production. Second Transportation of coal has been hampered by the enormous increase in the amount of freight shipped in the last year. The car shortage caused by this increase has for some time made coal shipments uncertain. This condition is due to our entry into the war growing worse instead of better. Troops, supply and food shipments this fall will play havoc with shipments of other products. These two conditions alone make it certain that a part of this country will be unable to secure coal at any price. At this time we have a complete supply of coal good, high grade Pocahontas, Anthracite Tennessee, Ebony, Hocking Valley, etc. We have stocked up during the summer months and are in a position to deliver coal immediately. The shortage in production and increased difficulties in securing any shipments at all are sufficient warning that to be sure of having any coal at all this winter, you should buy now. If we cannot secure coal we cannot sell you anything. BUY NOW. There is a good chance of there being no coal to be had if you delay. Mather Bros. Co.
