12 FIN ANCE WAR SPECIALTIES MORE RESTRAINED As Result Relatively. Normal Conditions Prevailed in Market During the Day. NEW YORK, July 21. Relatively normal conditions prevailed the stock market today in tlie sense that trading In war specialties was more restrained, and price changes less sensational. Those issues however, were again the conspicuous figures with new high records for Baldwin Locomotive at six and seven eights and Bethlehem Steel preferred at 124 and one ei rht.

Temporary gains of two to six points were registered by other issues of this class, General Electric being csuecial ly strong. Westinghouse yestei day's spectacular feature, led the li.it in point of activity, but failed to repeat Us high record. Crucible Steel helped to swell the lare operations in this quarter of the list. There were some highly erratic movements in such industrials as General Chemical which fell twenty five points. American Coal Products, which rose fourteen and reacted ten points, and Cuban Sugar which gained twenty one points.

Other sugar snares were strong on large war sales. Another unusual feature was the two It six point advance in express issues as a result of the rate increases by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Railroad shares manifested increased heaviness and general in eguiarity, Canadian Pacific falling 4 to 13S and one eight, its low price since 1904. Baltimore Ohio was the only striking exception to the lower trend, advancing a point on publication of June earnings of $1,719, 00 the best 'in the company's history for that period of the year. Contrary to recent conditions, lowest prices were made in the final dealings, the rarTway group then showing greatest weakness, while realizing soles served to reduce quoted values in Westinghouse and other specialties.

Total sales 678,000 shares. All forms of foreign exchange were weaker. The local bond market was steady. Total sales, (par alue) aggregated ji.sr.s.ooo. United States registered twos advanced one half per cent, on call.

THE SCH ANTON REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1915 COMMERCE STEEL TRADE CONTINUES TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT NEW YORK, July 22. The Iron Age issued today has the following: The steel trade continues to gain ground with enough lag at certain points in the industry to keep the advance from proceeding too rapidiy. The feeling crops out here and there that prices on expprt business apart from war requirements may be put up too fast. Thus far. while domestic demand has continued at the high rate of June, there has been little indication that consumers buying to forestall price aavances.

The disposition still appears to digest first those already made. It is estimated that more ihan 400, 000 tons of steel for munitions, chiefly bars. Is under negotiation, the placing of much of it depending on dell cries. From two to three cents is asked for shrapnel bars, makers having 'ealized tnat much of the early war business went at prices too low. Russia's further rail requirements are variously estimated.

In adclUion to 0,000 ions placed with the Lackawanna Steel company and 100,000 tons with the Cambria Steel company, options have been taken In this country On round West Australia has been asking for 10,000 tons of and an independent steel company credited with getting the business. As open hearth steel is being taken up for other purposes, rail makers are feel ing less and less the absence of railroad buying. There are some signs of the long awaited stiffening in the pig iron market. At Cleveland makers are asking higher prices for foundry iron as inquiry increases. The Toledo automobile company is In the market for lo, 000 tons of foundry and malleable pis iron deliveries extending into next year, and there is a 10,000 ton West 1 Inehouse inquiry at Pittsburg.

At Cincinnati nearly 40.000 tons of soutn ern iron has been taken by speculative buyers, a portion of which brought Sit', Birmingham. IS LITTLE ACTIVITY IN HARD COAL TRADE NEW YORK, July 22. The current Issue of the Coal Trade Journal has the following: "The anthracite trade drags its weary wav through the dullest month of the vear. There is no life to the demand and mining operations continue on the same restricted basis as for weeks past. While no improvement is shown oyer June, (fid in fact the tonnage moving is perhaps sligthly less, the comparison with past veai will not be so unfavorable.

Business reached the midsummer minimum earlier than usual this year, but it has not dropped much, if any, below the July normal. Unevenness in the call for various sizes Is still a very conspicuous feature of the market With the mines working three and four days a week, the output of stove and egg is readily absorbed, while a heavy surplus of chestnut and pea remains after the demand for those sizes has been satisfied. While this fact is bothersome, of course, It has without doubt had a steadying effect on the two larger domestic sizes. Individual operators are not seeking to obtain orders for stov and egg to any great extent by cutting prices, because they would then be under the necessity of disposing of the other sizes. These latter are hard enough to sell now.

and if the tonnage were Increased to any great extent It mieht be hard to give them away. there are many reports as to trie number of loaded boats around the harbor, and while it is hard to fix an definite figure, it is undoubtedly a laige one. There are also a lot of uncon signed ears at the piers, some of them on demurrage. Much of the tonnage Is No 1 buckwheat, with pea and nut next, and comparatively small amounts of other sizes. Prices are extremely unsettled on the sizes in greatest surplus, although restriction Is preventing the situatic from getting worse and there has been some cleaning up at tidewater.

While some cutting is heard or on stove, the more common report is that pricfj on that side are being well maintained by the independents especially in straight lots. Egg is only a shade less firm than stove. While some shippers are very long or No 1 buckwheat, the smaller sizes arc short. The greatest scarcity seems to he in barley, of which there is little available below the company flrculai. The better grades of rice are also hard to pick up.

EXPRESS COMPANIES CAN RAISE RATES WASHINGTON. July 22. The Interstate Commerce commission decided today that the revenues of the principal express companies of the United States are inadequate and modified its former orders to provide additional income. The effect of the o. der is to increase the collection and delivery allowance five cents for each snipment and to reduce the rail terminal allowance at the rate of one twentieth of one cent a pound.

As the weight increases the five cent increase is' gradually reduced, so that on shipments of mere than 100 pounds the readjustment will not make any change. Substantially no commodity rates will be affected. CHICAGO GrAlN CHICAGO, July 22. Enlarged estimates of shipments that would 'be required by Europe led to a bulge today in the price of wheat, but the advance was not well maintained. Quotations closed unsettled, off to up compared with last night.

I'll go out myself and try that other store." Helen thought she would take a certain satisfaction i refusing Boland's man his daily order, but when the next morning he appeared at the kitchen door with his clean, white apron, his trade smile and his pencil poised expectantly over his order book she felt somewhat disconcerted. 'No, I don't tfunk re want anything this morning." The nole in her voice was not at all triumphant hut r.Imost apologetic.

"Don't you need anything. Mrs. Curtis?" As this was the first morning that Helen had not given at least a small order, the tradesman's fixed smile vanished In his surprise. "No, thank you, nothing at all," making a motion to close the door. I I hope everything's been all right Mrs.

Curtis." "Oh, yes, tut I haven't any order for you this morning. Helen was furious at herself for the apologetic note in her voice. Why should sue give him an ordor if she did not wish to. Yet, somehow, she had made him feel that she should. HELEN IS IRRITATED.

"And it's Saturday," ventured Nora. "Guess he thinks that's funny." "Why should he?" sharply. "I'm perfectly free to order where I choose. Nora, how many times must I tell you not to leave this sugar uncovered? Don't you know it'll get full of dust?" And with a decided sense of irritation Helen went in to get ready for the street. It was a cold, frosty morning, and as Helen came out she faced a strong, biting wind.

To add Ii her irritation, Boland's man was just getting into his wagon. He touched his hat, and she felt his questioning glance follow her. Taking care to pass on the other side of the street from Boland's she hurried on to the grocer's on the next block. Before entering she looked appraisinglv over the stand of fruit and vegetables outside, i Several customers were already in the store, and Helen had to wait her turn. She knew it was absurd fur her to feel even the vaguest resentment at this, yet when she went into Boland's, no matter how busy they were, some one always came up her with a solicitous, "I'll be with you in just a moment, Mrs.

Curtis." But these two strange clerks did not even glance toward hr as she waited her turn. "How much are your sweet potatoes?" consulting the first ityni on her list, and finally one of the clerks approached her. "Twelve cents a quart." At Boland's they weie fifteen. Helen did not consult her list again until he had measured out the potatoes, for she was determined not to give the order, but to wait and see everything put up. "What are those grapefruit?" "Ten cents." "Three for a quarter?" "No, ma'am, ten cents straight." Helen hesitated, she had been getting them at Boland's, quite as large, for three for a quarter.

"These are the best grapefruit in the market," tossing one in his hand. "You'll find them thin skinned and Juicy." "Very well, I'll take three. Now some lemons." "Three for ten," tearing the tissue paper from a couple of lemons. "You can give me half a dozen and a quart of these cranberries. What salad have you; have you any esca role?" "We've some fine romalne," moving on to the front of the store where the green vegetables were.

"Yes, a head of that will do, and a small head of cauliflower, and five cents worth of soup greens." "Anything else, ma'am?" opening up a large paper bag. "A package of cream cheese and a loaf of Coleman's New England bread. That will be all," taking out her purse. "One thirty two, ma'am," quickly adding up the items. "Where shall I send A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE The apartment Helen lived in was one of the most pretentious in the neighborhood, and there was a keili rivalry among the tradesmen to got its tenants for customers.

So when Helen 'gave her address, he glanced up in surprised interest, his attitude Instantly becoming more obsequeous. "I'll send the boy over with these right away, Mrs. Curtis. We've several customers in your house, and you'll find that we'll treat you right. We keep only the freshest and best grades of goods our class of trade demands it.

We'd like you to try us on butter and eggs." "I'll see," murmured Helen, not caring to admit that she ordered butter and eggs, and many staple things from a large downtown grocery, because she found them cheaper than any of the small local dealers. "Well, I'll send them right around. Mrs. Curtis," he assured her, and Helen, thanking him, hurried out. Forgetting to cross the street, she found herself in front of Boland's.

Mr. Boland himself was measuring potatoes from a barrel outside. While his "Good mrJnK, Mrs. Curtis," was most cordial, Helen felt that constrained note in it. Plainly his man had told him that Helen gave him no order and now he knew she had been to the store in the block above.

Her own "Good morning," was not as carelessly natural as she tried to make It. How hard it is to say the smallest thing naturally when we feel sclf con sclous or constrained! Helen went home nursing an unreasoning sense of resentment against Boland's Had he been out there to trap her when she came back? Why should she be made so uncomfortable simply because she chose to order better vegetables from another store? THE BUTCHER FORGOTTEN "You forgot to leave the order for the butcher, ma'am; the boy's Just been here," was Norah's greeting. "But he said he'd be back." "Oh. whv didn't I stop there while I was out? I never thought! Well. I've ordered the groceries from that other store.

Let me know when they come. I want to see them before you put them away." Th order came with astonishing Helen had hardly taken promptness. off her hat when sne nearo bell ring. "Now let us see how the things compare with Boland's," as she went out to look at the various bundles. They re cheaper on sweet potatoes but grape fruit is ten cents straight, Instead of three for a quarter." "Thosi's not nearly as big, exclaimed Nora.

"But he said they were very thin skinned; I'll cut one right now and see; It'll keep until breakfast. The grapefruit when cut was not only thick skinned, but the core was large and pulpy. "Well that's only one thing, murmured Helen, half apologetically, "lets see about the others." The other articles seemed about the same as they had been getting from Boland's, until Helen opened the bag of cranberries. In the bottom of the dark barrel they looked all right, but now she found half of them black and soft. Boland's cranberries were always red and firm.

"Let's measure them, Nora; they don look like a quart." Nora took down a quart measure into which she emptied the cranberries. It i lacked half an inch of being full. Helen consulted the bill and found one quart cranberries, 15c. the same as Boland charged. Just why Helen now took a pencil and added up the items she could not have told.

There was no definite thought in her mind that the total was not right. Instead of $1.32, she got only $1.22. But, as Helen was far from an expert In addition, she added It twice over, and then had Nora add It. There was no doubt about it, they had over charged her ten cents. He had added up the bill before he knew her address, or undoubtedly he would not'have over charged her on her first order.

Helen was glad he had not known. If it was that kind of a store she was fortunate to have found It out so soon. The stale, short measured cranberries, the thick skinned grapefruit and the over charge seemed culminating evidence against their honesty, or at least their efficiency. And Helen's Irritability, which still rankled, was promptly transferred from Boland's Jo the new 8 "Oh. ma'am, you forgot the vinegar.

There ain't a drop in the house." "Very well," decisively, as Helen turned to leave the kitchen, "I'll phone to Boland's and have them send it right over."
