NEW TOniC. Bopt. 2.
Thero waa little effort to transact actual business In tho Wall Btroot district
today, tho ofllces being almost deserted, and thero was only, a slim attendance on
tho boardroom floor.
Sotno of tho room traders, who had sold stocks yesterday afternoon to ovon
up contracts, bought from other traders at tho opening and bid prices up mod
erately, but with this flash of apparent strength half tho day's activity waa
measured.
Afterward thero wero declines from offerings by somo of tho bearish element
on tho floor, which mado Studebakcr an object of concentrated soiling, but tho
decline In this stock was offset by a bullish demonstration In Marino profcrrod,
which carried tho prlco of that stock up to 109, another new high rocord.
In tho later trading tho exlstonco of a largo short Interest was reflected In
a covering movement, and at tho close prices of a majority, of Issues showed
gains ranging from fractions to moro than t point.
In tho lato trading tho scarcity of stocks caused general comment It had
been supposed that when Studebakcr broko below 120 stop-loss orders would
bo reached on tho selling sldo, but instead buying orders appeared, and thero
was a quick advanco of about two points from Its low level.
Other stocks ncted In tho samo manner In tho filial hour, with the market
generally presenting an oversold condition, with many of tho houses that had
sold lines of long Block In order to bo on tho safe sldo endeavoring to recover
their holdings before tho opening of tho market on Tuesday.
Apparently the bull position had become strongly Intrenched by purchases
made for Important Interests on declines of tho preceding days of tho week, and
tho belief prevailed among tho trading clement that thoso Intorcsts would arrango
for substantial and plentiful buying ardors If tho labor situation Is cleared away,
as expected.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2. A continued good
demand for September wheat was quoted
at the opening this morning, that option
starting with an advance of two cents,
ranging from 1.431.12?i. December
was one cent hlghor at J1.4C01.45 and
May was up c at J1.48 01.47. The latter
options, after the first few minutes of trad
ing, advanced c for December and o for
May, while September fell to tho early levol.
There was a fair demand from commission
houses and fair buying from other sources.
Apparently the trade was disposed to take
a more bullish view of the strike situation
as the news from Washington pointed con
clusively to the passage of tho eight-hour
law.
The cables were easy, however, and the
Balkan situation was considered an un
settling factor, which may become effective
at almost any time, and for this reason
traders were disposed to.be conservative.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 370 cars, against S63 cars a
year ago; at Winnipeg 305 cars, compared
with 382 cars; at Chicago 94 cars, con
trasted with 374 cars.
Corn was only fairly steady for the
September v position, which opened un
changed and then declined He. Other
options were fairly firm. There was a little
pressure In September, but the demand for
the later months was fair. The receipts
here today were 186 cars.
Statements that about 1,000,000 bushels
of oats had been Bold fon. export Friday
caused a fairly firm tone at the opening
this morning, and prices were Ho
higher after the start. There was a good
scattered demand. The receipts here today
were 412 cars.

RUMANIA'S ENTRY
INTO WAR IMPAIRS
GERMAN SUPPLIES
Bulgaria's Exports Insig
nificant Since Hostilities
Started
PARIS MARKET HIGH
By YVES GUYOT
Bvtclat Cablt to tfcs Evmtno Ltioer.
PAniS, Sept 2, The participation of Ilu
manta In the war will greatly rcduco Qer
many'a resources In cereals. Uefore tho war
Germany Imported an average cf 2,2 .000
tons of grain a year, a great part of which
camo from Rumania, nnd sine the begin
ning of tho, war she has bought largo
amounts from Ilumanla. Bulgaria exported
only nn averago of 225,000 tons a year be
fore the war, and stneo she entered the
conflict her exportation hns been Inslgnlfl
cant, whllo Turkey has not enough grnln
for her own population.
The Central Empires thus will be greatly
pinched by the cutting oft of tho Rumanian
grain supply
France's grain production fell oft one
fourth last year on nccount of tho lack of
farm labor. She, however, has tho markets
of tho world to call on, and there Is no fear
of a lack of foodstuffs In tho allied coun
tries. Unfortunately It seems Impossible today
for farmers to buy American agricultural
Implements that beforo tho war wero freely
sold hero and almost universally used.
As to bo expected, recent event havo con
firmed tho French financial world In con
fidence. Paris markets have retained the
high level reached a few days ago, but
havo become, moro calm, with evidences that
the new high level Is not merciy a tempo
rary gain. Conservative bankers, however,
conslCcr prices now high enough and say
that conditions do not justify a further rise
for tho present
A new French loan Is expected. This
probably will havo an effect on tho gen
eral market, as many persons will sell
stocks to put tho money In the government
loan. Tho price of the ruble continues
to mount, nnd tho entry of Rumania Into
the war will tend nlso to help the prices
of n good many Balkan Investments.
Tho question of rc-cstabllshlng Industries
In tho Invaded districts Is being taken up
In a practical fashion. Tho presidents of
tho great Industrial concerns have formed
a society to dcat with tho re-establlshment
of Industries ruined by InvnBlon, and the
government has promised Its help. This
Is really a practical step toward dealing
with tho question.

LONDON'S BELIEF
Stock Market Helped by Re

PHces Fluctuate
HARVEST SATISFACTORY
By FRANCIS W. HIRST
Special Cable la the Evtnlna Ltdotr.
LONDON, Sept '2. Rumania's policy of
conquering with a minimum of fighting by
Joining the probable victors at this late
stage was Illustrated In the Balkan War,
and naturally gives great encouragement
hero. With nearly nil the Rumanians under
ono flag, Rumania would become easily the
first among the exhausted Balkan States.
Just as she ended the Balkan War, accord
ing to her own declaration, she expects to
hasten tho terminating chapter of Arma
geddon. Although Rumania's nctlon Is the
most encouraging event of the war Blnce
Italy s adhesion, the stock market's response
was at first feeble, probably because tho
Industrial situation Is overcast by tho
threatening height of food and raw ma
terial prices.
It Is many years Blnce bread was so
dear. Nevertheless, Rumania's co-operation
opens the prospect of the Russian surplus
finding Its way beforo winter to Italy nnd
southern France, thus rellevli.g tho prcs
suro on American supplies. These possibil
ities explain the hesitation nnd tho specu
lative fluctuations In tho wheat market and
In ruble exchange,
Tho harvest hero Is very satisfactory, but
a Bpell of dry weather Is badly needed.
The exorbitant fluctuating prices of cot
ton render the market "tery dangerous nnd
consequently attractive to speculators. In
tho bank returns the gold loss Is not sur
prising, considering that It Is nutumn. Stock
Exchange sentiment Is Improving with the
military outlook, but Ib held back by labor
difficulties hero and across tho Atlantic.

MUNICIPAL BONDS
TAX EXEMPTION MLPtfUL FACTOE 4
Large Funds Available for Investment Additional For
eign Offerings in Next Few Months 'Penhgylvania,
Railroad's Loaded Car Movements Larger
Bond men are drawing attention to the
fact that municipal bonds have grown
materially In popularity with tho investing
public during the last year or soIn fact
slnco the passage of the Income tnx by
the Wilson administration. Municipal bonds
are exempt from tax, and as a result many
persons have Invested largo sums of money
In them A striking Instanco Is the fact
that tho last Issue of New York State
bonds was taken by two or three persons
for Investment
While It Is true that large amounts of
foreign bonds hnvo been offered In tho
American market at a much better Interest
return than American stock or bonds,
thero Is a leaning to the municipal bond.
That thero are largo funds available for
Investment Is shown by the rapidity with
which tho $260,000,000 5 per cent British
loan was floated.
Another interesting fnctor In the general
situation, bondmen point out, Is the fact
that foreign bond issues are being received
with greater favor. Prominent bankers pre
dict that as time goes on still greater
progress will bo made In this direction.
During tho next several months there wilt
be additional offerings of foreign Issues.
One of tho first. It Is understood, will be
