WALL ST. TAKES CALMER YIEW OF PRICE SITUATION Professionals Press Advantage, But Rallies Rule at the Close SUPPORT IN WAR ISSUES Certain Equipments and Motors I Are Again Under a Cloud TBY SPECIAL LEASED WIRE NEW YORK, Aug. Wall street took a calmer view today of. the price control situation, but professionals pressed their advantage tentatively, though rallies of one to three points ruled at the close. There were signs of substantial support in war issues anc steeis Jur ing the occasional intervals of un settlement, but certain equipments and the motors were again under a cloud.

Depression in the latter group 'was emphasized by receivership proceedings against a concern making automobile parts. Shippings and rails, especially the former, were conspicuous for their comparative strength at all times and tobaccos continued their" rise, Strong and active specialties includ ed Industrial Alcohol, United States Rubber, sugars and a few utilities. The recovery, which became more general in the final hour resulted mainly from the customary covering movement, public interest manifest ing no change from its long ed apathy. Sales amounted to 550, 000 shares. tjau money aavance to 4 per cent, with a concurrent stiffening of time loans, was outcome in large part of enormous payments now un der way.

Foremost among these is the $300,000,000 of treasury certificates of indebtedness. Foreign exchange retained its ir regular characteristics. An irregular tone prevailed in the narrow bond market. Liberty 3 1 2's were quoted at 99.54 to 99.60. Tovai sales, par value; aggregated $3,200, 000.

United States coupon a.td regis tered fours rose 3 4 cent, on call. ALIENS ASKED T0JAAIVE CLAIM PITTSBURGH, Aug. Every alien in the first draft district of Pittsburgh, which district has a large foreign population, who has filed a claim for exemption from service in the draft army on the ground that be is immune from military service in this country will be called before the district board and asked to withdraw his claim, according to announcement by the board. Any alien refusing to waive claim for exemption on the ground of being an alien will have his name turned over to his country's legation which will be expected to take some action. BREAD CARDS IX PARIS.

PARIS, Aug. 9. The impending bread card which will be introduced in Paris probably in October, will be necessitated in part by the unprecedented bad weather prevailing during the last several weeks. According to an official announcement, the "deficit in the crop, which the weather we have been having has augmented, does not permit France, any more than any other country to fail to take the most minute precautions if the year 1917 18 is to be passed without a crisis." ITALIAN LOSSES. ROME, Wednesday, Aug.

8 (Delayed). During week ended August 5, says the official shipping report issued tonight, Italian shipping losses comprised two steamers and one small sailing vessel. In the weekly period 487 vessels of a gross tonnage of 355,175 entered Italian ports and 442 vessels of 337,130 tons sailed. EiTRA DIVIDENDS NEW YORK, Aug. 9.

The Union Pacific Railway Company today declared an extra dividend of 1 2 ner cent, cn the common stock in addition to the regularly quarterly dividend of 2 pep cent. This is the same amount as was distributed three months ago. AUDITING NOTICES June 27. SELTZER No. 60.

Rather than live to see Germany defeated by an alliance' of nations that include the United States, Ger ald Smith, 23 years old. jumped to his death at Ithaca, N.

where he was attending summer school at Cornell University. News of the tragedy was revealed by a letter sent to the boy's wealthy mother, A. K. Schwegel, who is occupying her country estate i at Bear Creek. Several times In past months fed eral agents have made inquiries at the Schwegel residence in "this city, but nothing sensational had ever developed, although It had been rumored that Mrs.

Schwegel's first marriage was to a consul in the employ of the Austrian government. It was generally reported that the family, usually known under the name of Schmidt, was opposed to the war against Germany. "MYSTERY WOMAN" SXUND ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.

The "mys tery woman" in the suicide of J. W. Lambert, millionaire drug manu facturer has been found. She Is Miss Alvina Perstrup, 25 years old, former stenographer of Lambert. ''Mr.

Lambert and I were just good friends, that's all," she said. There was no affair between us. Just before his death he telephoned me he was ill and dying. "That's why I telephoned the maid and urged her to go to liis room, where she found him dead." FRENCH SHIPPING LOSS PARIS, Wednesday, Aug. 8, (De layed).

Others take a different view.

The trouble started Thursday morning, when for the 399th time, according to some of the men, the favorite record of the company was started on the machine. A squad of the men declared they had heard enough of "that piece" and insisted it to be broken. They compromised later when' another record was offered to them for such disposal. Readers of the News Times can stop any such fuss in the future. If there are any records in your cabinet that are beginning to wear on the nerves of yourself or neighbors, pack and mail them to Supply Sergeant Joseph D.

Eisenbrown, of Company A. Or if that is too much trouble 'phone him at the State Armory and he will call for them. Records have been presented by the Wittich and Manegold music houses. Many of the soldiers are taking advantage of the free swims at the Y. M.

C. A. has offered them. The men are allowed the freedom of the entire building and many partake of a noon hour swim. Thursday the tank was full of soldiers.

Two more men of Company are on the sick list. They are Pri vate Herring, who is suffering from appendicitis, and Private Wagner, who was taken to the hospital, Wednesday evening, suffering with tonsilitis. Neither are in a serious Icondition. They were visiteel Thursday by several of the men of the company. Squads of the companies drill at the railroad grounds at Sixth and Greenwich and in the City Park.

Many of the men who march through the streets are among those who are unfortunate enough to be without uniforms. This calls for much criticism from the spectators but is only another proof of our unpreparedness for war. Guard details Thursday were in charge of Corporal Ford from Company A and Corporal Faust from Company I. Some question has been raised as to who 'will take over the work of guarding the railroad bridges near Reading now that Co. First Penn sylvania, of Philadelphia, which had been here, was ordered home.

It is not thought likely that this work will fall to the lot of the Reading guardsmen. The Progressive Outfitting Carr Schad and J. K. Brintzenhoff furnished funds with which to purchase three wash machines for' the use of the men of Co. I.

These ma chines will prove a great boon for the soldiers, who are obliged to keep their outfits clean at all times. Four machines have been give nto Co. A by A. Raymond Bard, of the Bard Hardware Co. 327 Penn Street 0th and Amity Streets Sixth and Pine S'reets Eleventh Franklin Sts.

British medical officers are trying to determine the nature of the new poison used, it is believed, for the first time by Germans on the French town of Armentieres, near the Belgian front The poison bore a certain resemblance to the gas which temporarily blinded a large number of British troops a fortnight ago, but its effect are infinitely more serious.

A number of persons taken from Armentieres are in a grave condition. Many have died in hospitals at Hazebrouck, Aire on the ys and at St. Pol on the Ternoise, where most of the victims were taken. The first time the poison was observed it coincided with the firing into the town of a hail of shells of calibre insufficient to break the paving. These contain neither powder nor gas, but a colorless liauid whieh spreads over the soil.

In the streets 9 A 1 ana court yaras ana gardens, where the shells burst, traces of the noxious liquid may be found hours afterward. As the liquid evaporates it produces a heavy gas which penet. ates from room to room and descends into cellars. It is tenacious in character and seems to make more victims among women than men, closing about their hair. The fumes of tobacco seem to act as an antidote in the case of men.
