FURTHER REDUCTION IN PRICES FOLLOWS NORTHWEST BUNS Wheat Again Drops a Match, In- fluenced by Favorable Weath er Conditions—Stock Market Is Firm but Inactive. It will be at least several weeks before the bull element on the Chicago board can again howl about the possibilities of a drought in the Northwest. The heavy rains of Tuesday effectually killed every vestige o flho much-mooted dry spell. In consequence of the rains throughout the spring wheat belt, and receipt of re liable reports from Kansas and the Southwest which indicate an exceptionally large crop, prices slumped during the first few minutes of yesterday's session, July opening at %c under Tuesday's close. There was liberal support on the weak spots and the market held fairly firm, considering the pressure of • the bearish news. Towards the close the real slump came and July dropped 1 l-16c and December and September fell %c. :•-"•:,>.<« At the opening corn showed a ten dency to weaken in sympathy with wheat, but later developed some strength on the attempt of the bull interests to force the price higher. Before the close prices again weakened. Oats showed some independent action at the opening, "and in spite of lower wheat and corn this market maintainetl its prices until near the close, when Sep " tember and December fell off %c. July closed %c over Tuesday. Stocks were inactive but firm yester day. There were many inquiries for I rangers, the improved weather conditions in the Northwest aiding the market con siderable. Steels were strong and the undertone of the entire market was good. Money was somewhat tighter. What the Brokers Say. M. Doran & Co.'a Chicago grain letter pays: Wheat—The market opened easy on further liquidation, influenced by rain in •spring: wheat belt, fine winter, wheat har vesting conditions, and indications of a free and early movement of the new mar ket crop. Prices were nervous and sub ject to quick changes. > ■ Oklahoma and Kansas have raised heavy crops,, but re turns are disappointing from Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois Indiana and Ohio, and at the moment spring wheat ' prospects are promising. With this in view it will be safer to go short in rallies for time being. Corn — a brief period of weakness at the opening, prices were . advanced sharply. The periodical weakness in wheat was felt in'corn. Weather condi tions are generally favorable for the crop and. demand for shipment is poor. Indi cations are that preset run of receipts 13* about over and arrivals will be lighter next week. While present weather con ditions are favorable to growth the out look for late planted corn "is very uncer tain, it -being particularly susceptible to hot weather. We favor purchesea on the breaks of the September and May options. —The trade was limited with prices ruling early in the session. The easiness in other pits closed the market fraction ally lower. The demand for local re ceipts and for shipment was fair. While there are complaints of too dry weather from Central Illinois, the crop shows im provement in the Northwest. S. B. Shotwell & Co.'s grain letter says: Wheat The market opened off %c for July and about the same as Tuesday's close for September and December.and was inclined to weakness early on re ports of more rains in the Noithwest. On all weak spots during the early part of the session there was liberal support shown and prices held steady until near the close, ■when they broke sharply and closed at the low point for the day with July 1 1-1 under last night. September and Decem ber %c under. Kansas City says their re ceipts were moderate on account of re stricted railroad . facilities for delivery. They expect after July JO their receipts will be more than they can handle, t Corn —This market opened weak, but shorts were anxious to cover and found very little for sale. The market strength ened in consequence. After the early up turn corn showed no independent strength and toward the close soul off in sympa thy with wheat. July and September closed %c inder Tuesday, and December %c under. * —This market, especially the July, seemed inclined to strength all day and showed no material response to the weak ness in corn and wheat toward the close. The close was %c over last night for July and %c under for September and Decem ber. J. C Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks: Logan & Bryan—The market still holds the strong tone. It is not active, but there is no selling pressure and the tendency seems moderately upward. There is a lit tle tightness in call money incidental to local conditions the first of the month. Weather is favorable everywhere and ev erything is making good progress. • Dick Bros.—The opening was irregular, but the market remained firm until a drive against Hocking Valley and C. F. ' & I. caused a little • setback. London sold 30,000 shares of stocks. :. Railroad re turns continue most, favorable. The trac tions were very firm. Standard Oil brokers were credited with buying Missouri Pa cific. Bache & —Interest centered in the grangers and news regarding weather • in the crop districts was extensively dis cussed. The Steel stocks were active and strong and the opinion generally con curied in .was that the • change in the executive was a bull argument. - The Gould brokers sold"C. F. I. and the de» cline in this stock and in Hocking Valley caused the rest of the list to sell off frac tionally. . .... Mclntire & Marshall— was nothing Important in the day's news to influence speculation one way or the other. It looks as though the. gold export move ment has culminated. While general senti ment continues bullish we still see nothing better in prospect than a continued nar row traders' market. ..'•-.• Walker Bros.—The market opened dull but steady. B. R. T. advanced on large purchases on the very favorable -. state ment of earnings. The market closed somewhat 41rm at about the prices of the day. ; O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter says: Although the market has been dull and somewhat reactionary, the change for the better in jsentiment,continues, and the extreme pessimism of which we have seen so much lately is gradually - wearing oft' There, has been some commission. house buying. London has sold, stocks before the rally, there has been much profit-tak ing, but stocks have fully held their own and until, the July disbursements have been invested we look for somewhat high er prices, although we do not expect any great activity. Another feature of our market, which does not confirm the . be lief in higher prices, i* the fact that such good securities as the Burlington exten sion bonds and also. the new Hocking Valley notes, carrying a guaranty which cannot be questioned,, are selling at such bargain prices netting 5 and 6 per cent. and even on this basis there is not a very .teen demand.

STOCKS UNANIMATED HOPE FOR REVIVAL OF SPECULA- TION GOES GLIMMERING Trading Element Is Intimidated by Stlf- fen ing in the Call Loan Rate —London Is a Conspicuous Seller, Which Is a Factor In the Heaviness of the Market. NEW YORK. July I.—The newly awak ened hope on the part o£ commission biokets of a revival of speculation, which prompted the exchange governors yester day to dismiss the resolution of members in favor of a holiday on Friday, received a setback today. All the inimation was gone from the market and the apathetic conditions' of last week seemed to be re newed in full force. Yesterday's stiffening in the call loan rate to 10 per cent served to intimidate the trading element. The rate did not go above 6 per cent today, and in the late dealings eased off to nominal figures after the principal demand had been satislied. The course of the call money market, however, was felt to be due to the moderation dis played, by stock market borrowers and the late easing of the rate had no other ef fect than a moderate recovery from the earlier depression in the market due to the covering of shorts by professional traders. The recovery halted at about last night's level and the closing was rather rwavy. Course of Steel. Yesterday's sudden advance of over two points in United States Steel preferred which was coincident with the return 41 the street after a long absence of a noted operator conspicuous in the fluctuation period of the I'nited States Steel securi ties had aroused some hope that a re newed bull campaign was to be under taken in those securities under syndicate auspices, but the inertia of the preferred stock in the neighborhood of 82, which is the subscription price offered to employes, strengthened the surmise that that price level was the objective of yesterday's movement. Other news of the corporation's affairs caused a hope that the recent pres sure of liquidation has not been completed and there were rumors current that the holdings recently in course of liquidation had been taken care of. The second mort gage bonds were lifted about a point during the morning, but did not hold well. London was a conspicuous seller during the morning and this was a considerable factor in the heaviness of the market. Some recovery in the exchange market also resulted and an advance in the price of American gold coin in London was also noted. Today's clearing house balances footed up $24,597,490. which is close to the high record level and is a reflection of yesterday's heavy financial transac tions intident to the turn of the fiscal years. Renewed strength in the cot ton market disappointed the hopes that the violent speculation there was not a culmination and the firmness of the corn market was also a detriment to stocks although the sharp reaction in wheat was favorably regarded. Weakness in Copper. Atchison. Southern Pacific and Union Pacific were carried a point un der last night at . - one time. Hocking Valley fell five with a rally of 14 and the preferred dropped, three on account by speculative holders that as yet unannounced plan of joint ' control would not yield any benefit to them. The weakness •of Colorado Fuel .-.was due to, the existence of a large order in liquida tion. Sugar:.suffered, from the -marking down of the price of the product and the weakness of the London copper market af fected Amalgamated. The May net earn ings reported by Lehigh Valley and New York, Ontario & Western confirmed: the belief in the very favorable conditions in the coal carrying trade and revived some buying of Reading, but the May reports of , St. Paul, Louisville & Nashville and Southern Railway showed that the effect of the large increases in : operating: ex penses, St. Paul showing a net return slightly less than the corresponding month last year.

Bearish Sentiment Is Fostered by More Northwestern Rain and Good South western Harvesting Weathei-—Corn and Oats Likewise on the Down Grade. CHICAGO. July I.—Continued liquida tion caused weakness in wheat today, September closing- %c lower. September corn was oft %c, .while, oats were down Sfco. Provisions . closed , unchanged to , 15c higher. The sentiment in the wheat - pit was generally bearish and with more rains reported | throughout the Northwest and good harvesting weather in the South west, there was considerable selling pres ; sure . throughout j the entire day. . Open ing prices were easier on lower cables and better weather conditions. Septem ber being a shade higher to %<EpV4c lower, at 76% cto 76% c. Fair buying by commis sion houses together , with-the advance in corn caused a firmer feeling earlier in the day and the price advanced gradu ally to 76% c. -but latter reacted again on a less urgent demand. The weakness at St. Louis due partly to the arrival there of several cars of new wheat, was a bear factor late <in the day. After selling at 75^c. September closed %c lower, at 75*4 @75% c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 419.100 bushels. -, Primary re ceipts were 207.100 bushels against 420. --500 bushels a year ago. '■'■ Bradstreets world's visible showed a decrease of 2,400.000 bushels. Minneapolis, and Du luth reported receipts of 137 cars, which with local receipts of 17 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 190 cars, against 146 cars ' last week. and 261 cars a year • ago. Day's Changes in Corn. Corn was strong a large part of the session, due to the effort of some local bulls to support the market, but the fine growing weather and the weakness in wheat were influences that over-balanced all else and weakness prevailed late in the day. Deliveries on July contracts Were over one million bushels, most of it being put out by elevator interests. After selling between 50c and 51 %c. September closed %c lower, at 50% c. Local receipts were 351 cars, with forty of contract grade. Oats were influenced mainly by the sit uation in corn, but the general sentiment was more bearish. Trading was on a fair scale, with commission houses the best buyers, while local longs did the selling. The offerings were too liberal to be readily absorbed and an easier tone prevailed at the last part of the day. Sep tember closed V4c lower, at 33% c. after ranging between 33% c and 34Vic<g>34%e. Local receipts were 148 cars. Provisions opened easier on fair re ceipts of hogs, but buying by both local and outside houses caused a rally, and the market was quite active at times. September pork closed 150 higher at $15.77% c,' September lard was unchanged, at $8.30, while ribs were 2%(&>50 lower at $8.70. The estimated receipts for tomorrow are: Wheat. 25 cars; corn, 390 cars; oats, 180 cars, and 25,000 head of hogs. Range of Quotations. - The leading futures tanged aa follows:. | Open. 1 High.

Duluth 75% 76% July. St. Louis ...............75% 80% September, St. Louis 74% 77% Minneapolis—The new month began in the wheat pit with all the life and ex citement of June gone, trade light and the market extremely quiet. Although it rained Tuesday night at various points over the Northwest, there was little bear pressure shown. The market sank lower early a3 liquidation of old lots of long wheat continued, but no serious break oc curred. Some of the traders were express ing surprise that the market held above 74c for September, for they had expected further weakness; even the September was off over 4%c from late high point. The reason for the strength was not hard to find. It came from the fact that the pit traders are beginning to believe that the effect of the recent rains has been overestimated in the enthusiasm natural to the reaction from the tension due to dry weather nervousness. Because heavy rains have fallen at many points and the country immeasur ably benefited thereby it does not follow that the particular factor that made the recent speculative bull interest has been removed. The Northwest, on the whole, never was suffering from drought. The dry weather was beginning to do damage in .places, but no where was there occasion for alarm, except in a portion of the Red river valley. Now the ratns have fallen affording relief at many points, and giving precipitation even at points where not es pecially needed, but the particular lo calities that were complaining of danger did not receive the good rains they stood in need of, and have not had them up to this time. September wheat struck 74c and closed at 74% c; July closed at 82% c and December at 72% c. Good demand wa< reported for the cash wheat.
