TBouse wiyes, therefore, should put up what fruit they can afford and secure without the sweetening:, which can be added at lower prices at 'a later date. ' Fact of the matter is that there never was any excuse for the extreme price of sugar. Housewives would never have been compelled to pay the extreme val ues t they had decided earlier in the season to allow the sugar barons to keep their supplies at the refineries. There la no likelihood that peaches will be any cheaper this season than today. :- There is a general scramble butter. Tbia la a factor that the trade ia ukins into eoneideratiim.

Cohen The i wool market situation Is still far from solution. Various factors combine to still the demand for fleece. although chief among- them Is the fact that manufacturers have been' using too much shoddy while virgin wool re mains unsold In s the warehouses. - w Talk af a tariff to aid the wool grower nan kttmk haranaai ft will a remembered that the price of wool sold ' lowest when a tariff was Imposed upon foreign stock. . The fact waa that tne actual rrie of fleece then was lower than Our tariff enarge Itself. - It ia the anrtetricted use of shoddy in pla- of virgin weet that ha filled! the warchciwea of the ; world with the virgin stock. The eriou'rieea of thia situation : has bn greatly magnified by the fact that the big woolen man Bfaeturers do not want to work on as close a margin as seasons previous to the war and for that reason hare shot up shop in tb hope of not only influencing the price ef Isbot downward, but likewiae the -juctauon oa wool, t Practically the only activity noted ia the eastern wool trad for the week was a . small decree in medium and coarse wools, which man ufacturers purchased at "snap" price. V un too eoasi practically no ipmines of mo ment waa snown. . , 11 GAINS ARE SHOWN VKATIlfcH 7TOTJCE FOR SHIPPERS leather bureau adviaes: r Protect shipments .daring thelnext 86 hours against the follow ing maximum temperatures: Going north, 84 decree; northeast oer S.

Aug. 13. Announce ment that the Bolshcvikl would grant aa armistice and that a confer ence with Polish leaders would be held Saturday, caused heavy buying of stocks In Wall street Friday. .;'- In the hope of, stopping the decline the ' banks - several days ace - let out a wood deal of cheap money. The bank ing; . interests also bought stocks. The whole Hat closed net higher, some stocks with material gains. Final pricea were but a little under the best of the day. Money renewed at T per. cent,' which was considered remarkable, in view of the fact that - loans carry over till Money. : The call rate dropped off to per cent in the afternoon. --Numerous failures of commercial concerns have been narrowly averted in the last week and that ia the principal reason that caused, banks to support the market. Official announcement by the (standard Oil of New York that it plans to dis tribute a 200 per cent stock dividend confirms report of the prosperity of the established petroleum concerna The surplus of petroleum that is accumulat ing in the hands of producers is ex pected to hurt the new , companies but help -the '- established companies im mensely by assuring- them a liberal sup ply of crude, v Stocks were so strong that profession als think the improved tone may carry over till Monday.; But they expect lib eral selling next week because so much of the stock- bought , this ; week was taken to support the market and will bo liquidated as soon as that can be done with profit. All professionals are working for a higher opening Monday as a basis of liquidating sales and placing of new short contracts. Dealers Puzzled by Break in Sterling Foreign exchange dealers are pussled over the heavy break in sterling.' which has declined as low as 40 cents since j early in April. It is known that Eng land has been buying heavily in this country. At the same time It is pointed out that a continued decline in foreign rate makes it more and more difficult for Europe to buy American products, ahd for that reason many observers would not be surprised to see a further decline in our expert trade, which fell off very heavily in June.

Schools to Assist TJ. S. Thrift Move, Beports Educator At a recent conference of state super intendents of publio Instruction of the -seven states of the Twelfth federal re serve district, held at Salt Lake City, the question ot introducing a savings system In all public schools throughout the Twelfth federal reserve district waa discussed. It is planned to introduce permanent courses in thrift in all of th schools and in connection therewith to provide a method for the saving of sums from a -penny to a dollar by the use of savings punch cards. . As the result of the efforts of ths government savings organisation In co operation with public school authori ties throughout the West, last year, hun dreds of schools have already instituted systems for taking care of the savings of the school children in connection with the thrift lessons they are receiving. That the school savings movement Is spreading rapidly ahd taking firm root In our educational system Is evidenced by the fact that a number of Eastern states have adopted legislation making the teaching ef thrift compulsory. V, iii- e - Lower Prices Needed To Encourage Trade lt is the price question, more than any other single influence," says Dun's July report, "that now dominates busi ness movements, and the fact that the rising" trend of most markets has been halted, and that. a number of essential commodities have declined appreciably from previous extreme levels cannot be regarded as other than favorable in its bearing on the future. How far the price reaction will carry and to what extent it will effect different, trade and Industries, Is not clear at the moment; but tt lo evident that consumers' opposi tion to high prices has Increased, rather than lessened, and that the development of forward business largely awaits upon additional downward revisions." 1 609 Failures ilteported Business failures during June num bered 609, compared with 601 in May and 453 in June of last year.
