NATIONAL LEAD IS
HAMMERED DOWN
Reduction in Dividend Causes
Big Slump on the New
York Exchange
CROP MARKET IS UNCERTAIN
Bonds Shown to Be Irregular,
but United States Issues
Are Unthanged
[Auoclated rress]
NEW YORK, July Until the re
duction in the dividend on National
lead was announced the stock market
today was a humdrum affair. The
news of this action created some spec
ulative excitement and its Influence
■was reinforced by the wholly unsup
ported state for the stock in the
market. Sales of 100 share lots could
. be effected only at rapid concessions
of 1 to IV4 points between sales. Clos
ing last night at 69 3-8 the stock sold
as low as 62. Such a violent and
abrupt shrinkage in market valuation
even of a single security was bound
to precipitate some protective liqui
dation in other stocks. The effect on
speculative sentiment and on the stock
market position was enhanced by the
use made for two days of vaguely de
fined rumors of steps looking to bet
ter the copper'trade position to push
\ip the price of the metal industrials.
The advanced price of National Ijead
preferred In face of the demoralization
In the common stock was a commen
tary on the increased benefit of con
serving earnings for the senior secur
ity. The simple explanation of dif
ferent reduced dividends was that
business and earnings did not warrant
the maintenance of' the higher rate.
The concrete example thus offered of
the consequences of lessened trade ac
tivity to profits of business made a
sharply depressing Influence on spec
ulative sentiment. Solicitude was al
ready making itself felt for the show
ing to be made by the United States
Steel corporation in its quarterly state
ment of earnings to be published next
Tuesday. The regular Amalgamated
Copper dividend was not announced
until after the close of the market,
but last prices'showed some recovery.
The earlier feeble influences in the
market dropped out of sight in the
excitement which followed tho Nation
al Lead dividend action.
The action of the wheat and cotton
markets revived uneasiness over the
crop prospects and the effect of the
later easing of the wheat market was
lost in the general weakness of stocks.
Government, disbursements through
\y\l \ G» unit-tti. v»i*j**m«—
tho sub-treasury continue to add largo
amounts to the cash holdings of the
banks, the gain from that source since
the Uist bank stntement having risen
to #60,000. Time monoy here is
growing easier and the foreign ex
change market was firm.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales
(par value) $1,009,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO. July 21. -Wheat opened higher,
but except for May delivery has not seen aa
iTnoil as early hiprh prices since. NevertheleHS
it finally responded materially to the bis bulge
In corn. The..latter, in fact, was apparently
the salvation of the wheat market today, Im- i
parting some life and strength to It after It j
had developed a dull and dragging tone. Tho
cause of the opening bulge was the continued
dry weather northwest and higher prices In
Europe. Northwest furnished more crop news
of the same sensational sort as heretofore.
One of the leading Canadian commercial
authorities said the wheat crop Is soing back
dally, the situation nearing a calamity. This
news failed to thrill the trade as when it was
Brst received some time ago, but nevertheless
had more or less f-ffect.
Ultimately corn proved the speculative leader
of the entire list. Trade reached enormous pro
portions and the advance was Important.
Shorts of every sort were forced to cover, the
longs, after securing ammunition by early
sales, hurrying the covering along hy bidding:
for Increasingly scanty offerings. One of the
larger longs sold corn steadily all the way up
today, the shorts taking the property eagerly.
Among the shorts were larger speculators here
and east, i and many houses with country con
nections. Dry weather was the only material
basis for today's big bulge. Claims were
heard of damage In prospect west of the Mis
sissippi river, with some actually done in the
southwest. Cash (pram concerns almost in
variably reported fine, crop prospects in this
state and lowa, as well as other territory heard
from directly.
Oats sympathized with corn. Early there
were rather heavy hedging* sales, but they were
absorbed by commission houses and some was
bought by the corn bulls, and shorts then cov
ered freely, making the high prices. Crop ad
vices keep excellent. Harvest rapidly advanc-
In« northward.
Provisions ranged higher, principally on out
side Investment call and on covering by local
shorts. Packers were apparently divided In
their attitude on th« market, which proved
puzzling to some of the dealers In the pit. •

MOON OBSOLETE IN LAW
PITTSBITRG, July H.—The moon has
lost its legal standing in Ponnsylv-ania.
Joe Ohoahen, through his counsel,
sought release from jail on the ground

since 1821, by ruling of the supreme
court, been eclipsed by the calendar as
a measure of Urns.
