IN STOCK MARKET
'Tone Improved, but Net Gains,
as a Rule, Small.
NEW TORE, July 22.—Price* showed
Improvement ranging up to a point at
the opening of the stock market today.
Dealings, however, continued very quiet.
Dispatches indicating that the unions
will accept the railroad wage award
caused the advances at the start. In most
cases, however, gains were only frac
tional.
Preaanre continued on the sugar chares
and Punta Alegre made an early low at
90%, off 4%. Ralls were decidedly firm.
Movements were irregular In the active
stocks all through the first bout.
In the second hour food Btocks acted
well, with Corn Products selling at 95%,
up 1%. Mexican Petroleum advanced 2
points on sales of only a few hundred
shares.
Dullness continued In the afternoon.
Sugars were still under pressure, al
though Puqta Alegre held between 00
and 91. Crucible sold down to but
rallied afterward.
Tbe market closed steady. Govern
ment bonds were unchanged and rail
way and other bonds steady.
Total sales of stock were 328,100
shares; bonds, $7,798,000.

During the greater part of the session,
stagnation was the rule. We had only

price changes were good and entirely In

There was no uniformity, and the mar

The general news continues of a dsuht.

GRAINS BULGE ON
DAMAGE REPORTS
Substantial Gains Held at End
After Early Weakness.
CHICAGO, July 22. —Wheat prices
dropped 2%c early In today’s session
of the Board of Trade, but bulged 3c
above yesterday's close as the most seri
ous rust reports of the season poured In,
mostly from South Dakota.
Corn rallied from its early slump on
persistent buying by a strong commission
housf that has turned bullish on short
covering.
Oats followed corn and more than
wiped out Its opening decline.
Rye trailed, and provisions scored a net
gain in sympathy with grains, after
being easier at the start.
Trading was dull in all pits, with corn
leading the market. New outside buying
in corn was light, but the technical posi
tion has been strengthened by over
selling on the recent break, with pros
pects of decreasing receipts worrying the
shorts.
The seaboard reported a good demand
for wheat, with Italy taking some of the
half million bushels.
(By Thomson ft McKinnon)
—July 22-
Reports of liberal export acceptances
in wheat and firmness in corn kept
wheat strong today. Estimated sales
were around million bushels in the past
twenty-four hours, with Italy the best
buyer.
Some conflict on northwestern re
ports, but the majority do not claim
very heavy damage as yet, although ad
mitting possibilities of trouble strongly
exist.
The impressive covering movement,
started yesterday in corn, extended
through today with highe- prices.
The advance was pushed nlong by
some anxiety regarding temperatures in
the southwest, where 90 to 100 was ruling
in limited area.
Corn has had so much moisture and the
plant is so vigorous it seems unwise to
worry about seasonable heat, but never
theless, strength was Imparted to the
price from this fact.
The placing of some cash corn for ship
ment east from store here surprised the
trade. Cash corn prices sympathized by
advancing 2 cents.
Light offerings of futures was the
feature bn the advance, with buyers of
yesterday supposedly following up their
advantage today.
With no impairment of the crop
promised ns yet, we think it doubtful
policy to follow the advance. Would pre
fer letting It run Its course aud again
work on the selling side.
Cash oats up 2 cents and futures, while
dull, were firm.
Illinois reports were very favorable,
while northwest news showed anxiety.
The market will still take its tone from
the corn action without some special de
velopments

London Society Folk
Look to Their Soles
LONDON, July 22. Society women!
are looking to tlielr soles.
Old shoes are being made new in q
“society" repair shop in the west end.
"Because the price of brocade satin
nnd kid is at a fabulous figure," they
say, "society is having its evening foot
wear resoled Instead of buying new.”
Since the shop lias luxurious appoint
ments and bears a gold leaf name, "Cin
derella," the repairing is almost as ex
pensive as the original article.
Hut It's fashionable at the moment to
go in for "economy,” and the shop is
flourishing.
'Cinderella could hardly have prized
her glass slippers more than some of
our clients prize their old ball-room
friends," says Miss Doris Lytton, the
proprietress of the new shop.

ASKS COUNTY
TO SELL BONDS
Northwestern Bridge Will
Cost $274,000.
Merle N. A. Walker, attorney for Wil
liam H. Price, receiver for the A. J. Yaw
ger Company, contractors, today asked
the Marlon county commissioners to sell
bonds at 6 per cent interest, covering tbe
construction of the Northwestern avenue
bridge, and guarantee payment for work
on the bridge.
This action followed an opinion given
the construetioq company by former
Judge Charles Remster, of Smith, Keiu
ster, Hornbrook ft Smith, that since the
bonds were not sold on the date fixed
for the sale, but on the day following,
that legally it was necessary to readver
tise tbe bonds before payment to the
contractor could be made by tbe audi
tor.
I.eo K. Fesler, county auditor, who was
pre.-ient at the hearing, refused to grant
Mr. Walker's request, but he agreed to
consult the state board of accounts and
seek approval for advancing money from
tbe general fund In order to speed up the
work on the new bridge.
Mr. Walker told the commissioners
that the legal tangle of tbe bonds and
guarantee of payment of estimates had
delayed the work on the bridge.
The new bridge is estimated to cost
$274,000.

MRS. HYDE WILL
TAKE OYER WORK
Temporary Arrangement Ef
fected at Insane Hospital.
S, "
The Marlon county commissioners to
day permitted Mrs. Loren S. Hyde, wife
of the superintendent of the Julietta Hos
pital for the Insane, to take over the'
management of that institution, pending 1
the recovery of her husband, a patient/
at the Methodist hospital.
Physicians at the hospital say he is
suffering from a nervous breakdown.
Dr. J. B. Young of Cumberland has
been ordered to visit the Institution each 1
day in the absence of Dr. Hyde to exam
ine the patients and assist Mrs. Hyde.
Carlin Shank, county commissioner, in
dicated that Dr. Hyde would probably
be forced to resign as tbe head of the
Institution as soon as he had recovered
from hls illness, and that the commis
sioners would select another executive.
"Mrs. Hyde and her son will tem
porarily take over the management of
the institution.” said Mr. Shank, "and
we will give Dr. Hyde a chance to re
gain his health, but both he and his wife
teid me that they felt it would be the
best for bim to resign.”
This situation developed following the
exposure of conditions existing at the in
stitution, when Monday and Tuesday the
institution was destitute of coal, the
steam pipes operating the fire protection
system out of commission, and no fire In
the boilers.
Mr. Shank, in explaining the situation,
blamed A. B. Meyer & Cos. with failure
to deliver coal to the institution, but the
coal company officials deny having re
ceived notice that the institution wa*
short of coal.
Joseph G. Hayes, county commissioner,
when Notified by Mrs. Hyde that the
institution was without fuel, ordered
coal sent from Cumberland to tbe In
stitution.
Dr. Hyde notified the commissioner*
last week that coal was running low,
Mr. Shank said.
Quoting Dr. Henry C. Wright as au
thority of a statement that Dr. Hyde
nag a competent executive at Julietta,
Mr. Shank defended the present head
of the institution.
“The whole trouble out there at Jull-i
otta is that we are too crowded andi
are forced to make the best of unfor-|
tunate conditions, and that has caused
Dr. Hyde to worry over the manage
ment of the Institution until he has bro
ken down," said Mr. Shank.
