crowing nenr for tho movement of the
new crop and "Hmt bales" are making
their appearance In Texas nnd In parts
of the Eastern belt. Savannah received
the tlrst bale of tho Georgia crop yester
day. Atiout the only evidence of spot de
mand Is scattered Inquiry from New
Ilngland mills and sonic buying for Hub
Ha with view to shipment to Vladl
ostok, It Is said that some cotton has
been bought for Russian shipment out
of the lov.nl stock In the Inst few days,
and this appears to be the chief export
business now being put throuRh.
Tho South Is doing some selling of
contracts In the local market for tho
account of merchants against the re
ceipts of spot cotton which they have
to tako In p.iymcut of accounts. Some
Southern people aro mid to believe It
probable that there will be more busi

Fractional Wheat rhansps
W rather Conditions Rrllllanl,
At no stage of es!erda's wheat ses

Ir term.tlcnt reactions were quickly re
gained. A feeling Is prevalent In the
trade that sufficient wheat will be avail,
able this season for all purposes, but un

Important millers uero said to be In

Kuropean houses was figured at more
than a million bushels, In all positions.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
CitnipnrUiins,
According to shrewd market obserers
tho strength of Steel common stock was
tho most Impressive feature of the day'a
market, an It has been throughout tho
pres.-iit Industrial boots. All day long
Steel held stlubbornly nt 0), which la
one point under thn very highest of tho
movement, At one thun It sold within
'fi of tho top. Only at the very close
lid the price sink under C4. Trading
was heavy, 100,000 shares being turned
oor. The strength of Sleel has always
been pointed out us an Indication of the.
confidence of the public as n whole In
tho future of value-. As yet It hns not
been claimed that the present market In
Steel la tho lesult of a mine engineered
by pools and prnfi sslonnls. Therefore In
face of the martlet In Sfecl the assertion
that speculation Is cnullncd to n wild
otgy of reckless buying by professional
gamblers) falls little Hat. The ills
parity between prices and volumes In the
war stocks and In the standard rails Is
not ncaily so great as bitwecn the war
stocks and Steel common. Also those
who condemn the "war brides" utterly
on account of tin- high prices at which
they aro selling fall tn take Into calcula
tion the small capitalization of many of
thrsi) companies. Again a comparison
with Steel common Is striking. Steel,
with Its J500.noii.oiHi of common stock,
docs not look low at OS beside Itethtehem
Steel with only l&u.ooo shares and sell
ing at 200. The prices of the war slocks
hnvo advanced very rapidly, undoubtedly
loo rapidly In many cases. Also ad
vances hnvu not been Justified In some
cases. Hut nfter all their protlts have
I come to them as from tho blue sky, and
even Horace S. Wilkinson admitted a net
prollt of 33 1-3 per cent, on Crucible's;
war order.
THE BOSTON MARKET.
Boston, July 22. American Zinc and
Uutto and Superior were again strong
atrf active In the mining shares market.
The general copper shares market was
quiet and featureless. Industrials were
steady on small transactions. Hall
roads were neglected, exiept Hoston and
Maine, which lost 2 points on the day.

The consensus of opinion was that
the market acted extremely well under
the clrcumstinces. The upturn has been
ver violent In tho Industrial group,
especially on Wednesday. Heavy prollt
taking was naturally Invited. The ap
proach of the time for the despatch of
the President's note to llerm.uiy Inten
sified this profit taking movement and
was calculated to Induce buyers to hold
off. Also the trading element which
takej a day .to d.iy position has become
accustomed to sliinnl the sending of
each note to (icrmany by presure upon
stocks. With all these Influences brought
to bear upon It the rcHstnnce of prices
must hae been a revelation to these
who have suspected a hollow shell which
needed only a tap to crush It In. Logi
cally the market ought to have gone
lower. That Is udmltted even by the
bulls. Hut there Is plenty of time to
make up for this dls ppolnttnent. with
the President's note to hand. ,
l'rofc,loiinl mill Public.
Those who imagine that the gnat
speculation III the Industrials has been
made by the Wall Street professional
and semi-professional element would be
surprised to hear some of those gentli
men talk during the past week. A l.irg
number of them are dntlnclly bear.sh
and the real reason probably Is that thev
110 longer have any stocks. The mur-.ct
has left them behind, and to sit around
und watch things go up the way tho
have been Is the most exasperating llilint
that can happen to 11 speculator. P-elng
out of the war stocks, or even short of
them, tho average professional speculator
Is extremely bearish. One of these (,
terday talked gloomily of the cnormivts
losses which are going to lie susta.ncl
when the market collapses. A Irlend
asked him whether he was not extremely
bullish a short tiino since and whether
he had not made a great deal of inone'
for himself and his customers, lie i.d
mltted this, but explained that he and
his people had got out with good protlts
!,,i ihereforu weren't Interested nnv
longer. They were waiting for the rail
roads to Join In the general speculation
before they got In again.
Iliird I. oil. Vnrni,
The number "f hard luik slorlei mw
hclnir heard after the great advance
In prices giuus daily. Whin the tills i
of stocks npp.irtlitly few men fall to
recall being on tile verge oi inlying
this or that stock many points lower
The grcatot of all tin se neglected op.
nortunltles seems to be that of the man
who was offered a call on Klcctrlc Ib'.it
last year and lefuwl It becaue ne
didn't know uiivthlng about the stock.
The call was an exceptional one, belnu
offered by nn Individual who had 000
shares and didn't mind selling a call on
a hundred to see the btock go up. It
was good for a week, and the price
was $.'15. At the expiration of the e.tll
Clictrlc Ib'.it wn at 37. Theoretically,
because those things don't happen. If
the stock had been kept until now the
prollt on tho whole tr insactlon would
amount to about $23,000.
Trading; In Itet hleliein.
The rise In Itethtehem sleen has been
so ih.irly ptrpcndlcular that to the un-
Initiated all that the speculator had to
do was to buy the strck, sit s. till and
tnaku a fortune. Hindsight is cuy. As
a matter of fact experienced rpcculntors
came to grief on Ilethlehem even when
they took the right position, When
Hethlehe'.n Hood around 50 tin re were
two spceulitors In a large commission
who were Isith of one mind about tho
Immediate future of the Mock. The
first was an old time speculator who
used the chart system. He began to buy
the slock around .10 and 53 and bought
It steadily all the way up to 70 Here
his chatt told him to sell short. He
sold shoit consistently until the stock
touched 130, At that point his winnings
of son o 130.000 were oleaned out.
The -econd speculator was a man of
Imagination. He began buying the stock
also around 50, announcing that he was
working for 200. lie accumulated odd
lots steadily on n ten point scale all
the way up to 150. lly this time, how-
ever, his succes emboldened him to tak
ing on other war stocks, such as West
Inghouse, n.ilrtivln Locomotlvo and
American Locomotlc, using his paper
prnrtti on Itethlehom us margin, The
Liihltunla disaster wiped him out In a
few hours, both profits and original
stake. When Hethlehem struck 200 this
week these two speculators lived their
looses over ngaln.
Tlir .eT Alllicondll.
Anaconda new slock told yesterday
for tho llrst time and Amalg.in-'ited ills
appeared from the boaid. The first sale
wis at 70, The market was a relatively
small one.
