I V NATIONAL PRDBL disturb mm Street Does Some Covering, but Is Still Fan Away From Constructive Buying FOREIGN EXCHANGE SLUMPS New Yorli. Aug. 21. The Sun's weekly review of the stoeU maikct to day says: Wall street was In, a blue funk at the beginning of the current ueik anil rela tively cheerful at the end. What hap pened In between to brine about this change illustrates the difference in the psychology of the professional trader on the floor of the stock exchange anil that of the investor and business mun who permit themselves a broader range' of vision with rcspcet to cnuse and effect. Since the securities market was largely professional, particularly in the first nslf of the week, the bears were enabled to exert considerable pressure on the strength of the collapse in foreign ex change, the threatened steel strike, the llritlsh premier's black speech in Com mons and the disturbing aspect of our relations with Mexico. This resulted, of course, in the building up of nn ex tensive short interest, as well as in a further weeding out of speculative ac i ounts, and consequently improved the technical positron materially. But it was to be noted that, tlnough out, the bears did not hac,nn especially easy task in getting the price level down. While resistance uas, overcome, it nevertheless made .itself felt, und the confidence of the bears was gravely impaired by Thursdaj ; so much 'so, in deed, that the trading position'shiftcd Middenlj in the afternoon of that dn. The list rallied in good form and con tinued to ndvance through Fridaj's ses sion. This movement was nccompanied bj n reversal in trend of foreign ex change, cotton and grain. The fact seemed to be that the bear element had overmuch stressed adverse influences, while the more conservative part of the street was engaged in searching for silver linings. When the steerl strike fnlIe.rto materialize and our entrance into Mexico after bandits did not meet with opposition from the farranzn forces, it was deemed pru dent to start covering operations. Not Constructive Bujlng There arc times, however, when it is a far crj fiom short covering to constructive bu.ving. There is more than enough' looming on the horizon to deter the public from re-entering the market in force. The difficulty which bankers arc encountering in formulnt ing'a plan for flnnncing our foreign trade at o time when the pound stcr llg and the franc nrc tumbling to hitherto unheard-ot low levels is dis couraging. The Washington govern ment is preoccupied with' the peace' treaty controversy and the campaign ngaiust the high cost of food. The latter is proceeding apace and gives promise of results. The former seems ns far from settlement as ever, al though, needless to say, points of view diverge widely ns to the effect which the conference between the President and the senators at the White House will have. Meanwhile there is the utmost anx iety concerning what is to happen to our foreign, hade should the exchanges continue to drop nnd nothing done to correct the tendency. In this connec tion tho, Jul report of exports and im ports attracted unusual interest. Ex ports last month fell .$330,000,000 be low those of June, while imports were the largest for any month in our his tory, exceeding the June figure by $52, 000,000 and the May total b $10,000, 000, the frevious high record. It is estimated that not less than $1,000, 000,000 will be required in extending credits to Kuropc in accordance with the Davison plan for n debenture cor poration and Allotment of credits where most needed nt a given time. Most Wall street bankers favor the plan, although some do not. How much backing the investing public will give is a question. As ono house expressed it, "Loans to Europe can no longer be on open account, but on collateral of merit." Europe's Credit Slumps TheMonger this important mntter is permitted to drag the harder the task, it would seem, to convince the investor Of the merit of Kurope's collateral, particularly if foreign exchange keeps on going down. This week sterling went below S4.13 and the value of the franc declined to the neighborhood of 12'A cents. Both riyovered to some extent, but the recovery was due to temporary conditions within the market, jthat is to say, Jo short covering and speculative bujing. There is little hope Of permanent improvement until something Is done in the way of ex tending credits or until quotations have reached a level which precludes the buying of an) thing except the most urgent necessaries. In tho latter case the retracing of lost ground will prob ably be a long and tedious process, contingent on the speed and- energy which Europe .will put into produc tion. In any .event, as Loyd George pointed out, saving and producing will , provide the only ultimate solution. Greater production, less extravagance W In, buying and 'the curbing of labor's incessant wage demands are not less es sential to peace reconstruction in this country than in England and France. With 'the workman insisting en the khorter hours and more paj, with heavy taxation of the wealthy who must pro vide the capital for industiy nnd with the peace treaty still to be ratified, without which consummation all re construction processes are sadly handi capped, the outlook is none too bright. Hverybody is askfffg what is to become of the prosperity which had been counted upon in our postwar trade with Kng land and France anil Italy and the rest. American agents abroad arc doing their best to compete with other nations In getting their share of business and with tome success, foreign dispatches indi cate, but such business must be strictly limited, to Europe's ability to pay In its depreciated moneys.

Little Concern Given Conditions Existing in Security and Commodity Markets Chicago, Aug. 23, General business in the AVest is going ahead with little apparent concern over the conditions which have caused liquidation on such a large scale in the security nnd com modity mnrket of the country, Iictail business is making new records each week, and the wholesale and jobbing houses naturally are being affected b) the tremendous volume of retail sales. Wholesale dry godds and general store merchandise business continue to maintain n high degree of activit). Buy ers have been in the Chicago market in more than double the numbers of the corresponding month Inst jenr. Col lections arc good, there is no tightness in money conditions, nnd from present prospects thp outlook for business the coming fall could hardly be better than .at the present time. In regard to tlie steel situation, the impression prevails in the West the clinnces for n general shut down nrc remote. Naturally, mucliinterest has centered in the recent strike vote, but it is pointed out that the union men involved comprise only n Mnnll part of the total number -of emplo)cs, the majority of vvhomnre sntisficd with present conditions. Following the settlement of the rail road shopmen's strike there was a rapid resumption of blast furnace and steel works operations at Gary and South Chicago, but the present bituntion is serious enough to cause much un certainty. Wheat is being marketed freely in many sections, but there is much com plaint of car shortage which is hin dering the movement nt many stations. Tho movement of other grains is below normal, owing to tho delays caused by crippled rail service during the re cent strike. 5foi cover, the decline in grain prices has checked deliveries from the farms, f At Chicago the building tiades den8 lock is still holding up a vast amount of work. There have been intimations of a settlement the last day or so, but no definite progieRS in the negotiations has been noted. The settlement of the strike nnd the stnttlng up of building nnprntlnns here would elvc ircncrnl busl- ness as well as real estate operations n big impetus. Money rates are steady, with the rate on collateral loans Ct'j to 0 per cent; && to n per cent for commercial paper and (1 per cent over tho counter. No special -change is noted in money market conditions. BUTTER, EGGS AND CHEESE Nw York. Awt. 23 HUTTE11 nectlpla. RflJ8 tuba .Market linaettUil, Hlih acorlnff riflftnVioi txtrna.

'lhe steel In dustry was concerned rnietlv during the week just ended with the canvass of the vote of the workers with respect to a strike, the recognition of their union nnd other demands. Trom those on the opposite sides of the industry have come plentiful sup plies of estimates and predictions which have been most conflicting in their tenor.

Germans Planning to Undo Peace Continued Trom race One the protests and stiike maneuvers of the Entente labor leaders against the Versailles peace terms, nnd tho nathe risings In Kg pt nnd India. Hut it is only now, after the definite conclusion of peace, that the authors of this great conspiracy, unhampered by the restrictions oh international traf fic and correspondence that prevented them from achieving success before, are able to cor-ordluatc their forces to strike a decisive blow. Kaiser Started Bolshevism Sonic time, when the secret histoiy of the war is lully icvealed, it will ap pear that the (icrninn rulers com in itted their supreme crime against humnnlt) a crime infinitely inoro diabolical and disastrous in its consequences to the entire civilized world than even the vio lation of Ilelgium when they brought Lenlue and Trothky to Russia and con cluded their occult pact with bolshe vism, nmotheiiug new-born Ilussinn democracy and injecting the poison of anarchy into the working classes of nil countries.
