Short covering was again the pars
mount influence in yesterday's light
op?rations, the oversold condition of
the list being seen in the 1 to 2 point
gams recorded by leading itocks, not
aJ>W war issue?.
Aavances were largely surrendered
In the profit-taking of the flnsl hour,
'he msrket closing, however, with a
tirm tone. Shipping?, motors, leathers
and secondary ?pecialtiei ahared in th?
temporary rise, but rails were ignored
throughout, the only feature in that
dlvlilon being St. Paul, which retained
half of its 2 point gain.
I'nited States Steel at one time
?howed a one-point rise st 1237-?., but
forfeited virtuslly all its advantage,
other industrials and equipments react?
ing similarly. Industrial Alcohol was
-?la, points up at its top on active trad?
ing, but yielded in part.
Metals and shippings were incon?
spicuous, except for Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies, which rose almost 2 points
on Its May statement of earnings, but
soon fell back.
The bank statement reported an
actual loss of almost $50,000,000^ re
. ?r.es of members held by the Fed?
eral Reserve Bank and a decrease of
??lightly more than $37,000,000 in excess
rcservei, ?till leaving the total excess
well more than $100,000,000.
Ronds were irregular on very limited
offerings. United States bondi (old li
suti) were unchanged on call during
the week.

Cotton
Although a renewal of October buy
' ing by brokers ?rip frequently set for
the trade caused early strength in the
cotton market yesterday, It was unable
! to entirely counteract the effects of
favorable weather and crop conditions,
and after the market had ?old up 13 to
18 points on active deliveries it turned
weak, prices at one time in the last
hour being 4 to 6 points under the previ?
ous close. The market finally rallied a
little and left off steady in tone, with
August 7 points net lower and other
positions unchanged to 9 points higher.
Covering orders were in evidence at
the outset, traders evening up for the
week md, sad then was also some
baying ( ?I Livespoel SB?J wirehouse ac
Ita. then turned seller,
which WSl taken tu mean that cropcon

.-.nil on tnc reaction which followed
October dropped from L'3.08 to ..3.7a"?.
Among th- crop influences were two
private reports, one of which made con?
dition 71.9 and the other 72. These
I to strengthen the belief that the
coming government report will ?how a
material increase over last month, and
to some extent restricted outside buy?
ing in the last hour.
Tho opinion among traders familiar
? ons in the South
rail .-lio-.vor.-4. with see?
itures, will produce the
i best results in the next lew weeks. The
crop has passed through one critical
month with an actual improvement in
condition, but, bull?; pointed out, is fac?
ing another equally as important, and
that the crop's ability to withstand a
dry, hot ?pell be put to the test, al?
though it approches the month with the
soil in excellent condition, especially
the Eastern belt, after recent extended
rains. Advice? from Fall River noted
of the quietest week? since last
January, sales aggregating 60,000 pieces,
includ.r.g Jn.Oti'i spot?, while curtail?
ment amounted to 90,000.

Commodity Prices Yielding
Evidence still appears of a reversal
of the position of the wholesale com?
modity markets; 38 declines and .10
advances occurring in this week's list
of 334 quotations. The most signifl
1 cant feature has been the reactionary
tendency in the metals, with reduc?
tions of $1 to $2 a ton in pig iron, fol?
lowing many months of continuous an.l
, rapid advances, ami general yielding* in
oil material. Recessions also appear in
copper, though spelter, lead, tin an?!
tinplate are higher than a week ago.
Among other important articles leather
has been conspicuous for its weakness,
nearly all list quotations being; revise.1
downward, and some descriptions of
hides have also gone lower, while
slight concessions are no*ed in cotton
p-oods. In foodstuffs butter and fancy
eggs have risen more or loss, corn and
oats have become still dearer, and ad?
vances have predominated in meat.?
and provisions. On the other hand,
vegetables are again cheaper, and cur?
rent price? contrast sharply with tha?
ne figures named a few weeks
ago. Elsewhere in food product |

Soldiers and Sweethearts
"Paddle your own canoe," cheerily
cried a young lady of auburn hair, who
pulled with vigorous stroke a skiff in
: which the helmsman was a sun-browned
! chap, wearing a dark blue ill fitting
suit, a red necktie and a khaki cap.
All though the afternoon we passed
boats containing fellows wearing sim?
ilar uniforms. Sometimes there were
two of thom and two girls in the same
tkiflr, or tie same punt, and again there
would be one blue uniform and one
g:rl. But always there was a young
". and a >oung girl. It was the
?ame th,? second day and the third.

made one think of the Cathedral of
Rheims, but by contrast only, for the
I'orrhester church is tucked away in a
village of old coaching inns and
thatched roof houses, and the Boche
artillery hasn't the range of the;

We had made twenty-eight, miles

high Streatley Hilll on the other side

Facing the Fact?
A greet national league is beinj
formed, which has for its object y\f
ing bread to the public at the lovesl
possible cost commensurate with th?
price of the raw material and th?
actual value of the service rendered i
producing it. One can join it vo'un
tarily, and, by cooperation, help if to
g?n it3 object, or he can hang lacii
at d be coerced into joining, or put out
of business entirely and permanently,
There will be no room for aabttrfdgt;
the choice is clear. The very I I
thing for the baking trade to do is to
come forward in the utmost frankness,
v.-.th nothing to eonettl and no undue
advantage to gain; with but one idea
in mind, that of serving its country
tirst and itseif last. If it does so, it
will win the thanks of the people, but
if it trios any small tricks of trad?- or

sider this issue for himself, whether
ho be a large or a small factor in the
industry, and, having decided in feecir
of the right course, he should act ac?
cordingly m his relations with the
containing public, putting his busircss
on a basis wh?re ;; trill bo above

The Labor Problem
Ona of the most serum? obstacle? to
maximum production, as haa beei
pointed out many time?, liai in the In?
clination of many workmen Ac, labor
only as many days a week as is neces?
sary to secure a living. In England
it is a violation of the Defence of the
Realm act for a workman or business
executive to absent himself without
good cause fron any work in whi'li
the government has an interest, wil?
fully to miscairy instructions, or to
impede production in any way. Our
shipbuilding industry illustrates glar?
ingly the lack o " cooperation on the
par' of labor. Several of the large
yards which are 1 uildir.g warships and
merchant vessels r.ot. only are handi?
capped by an insutiicicnt number of
men, but are unabie to p*et full per?
formance from the men they have. A
yard on tlip Delaware employs 6,000
men, and could use 2,500 more. Mo r\
?rhilc instruct ons come from the Sec?
ret;, ry of the Navy to "speed up."
rs have been offered to the men
( for overtime anil Sunday work. Some
of th? workmen -.?il work on Sunday
for double-time pay and "lay off" on
Monday, so that actual production is
not increased, but costs are. In fact,
thi.i disposition of the workni? :. ;<?>
take one or two days off ?very week
in addition to the Sunday rest is a
problem that may only be solved by
government action. Shipbuilders have
gone to Washington to got ailv.ee on
methods of increasing the number of
workmen and preventing wp.ste of
time, but tne attitude of shipping au?
thorities there is that they have
troubles enough on thoirhar.ds at prei
thout taking up th? labor prob?
lem. Nevertheless shipbuilders tre c>n
rineed that something in the nature
of conscription of shipbuilding father
must eventually come if our ship pro?
gramme is to be a success. They have
regarded the labor question as of even
greater sr r.ousness than the differ?
ences in the Shipping Board and tha
