Activity is increasing, confidence is in
creasing and values are advancing.
When we seek a reason for all this we
can not find it unless it is beneath the
surfaee and not yet visible, because
mn-*y is by no means easy.
Through the west -the stringency is
more acute than at any time this year,
and de are depending largely ua call
funds with many uncertainties. Time
money is scarce and rates high.
But, as stated before, a chance may be
developing which is not clear, and pos
sibly may be accounted for by the flow
of gold toward our shores.
Various amounts have been received
recently. More than $3,000,000 is on its
way at the present time, and it is re
ported American barkers have secured
additional supplies.
Another reason for the revival may be
traced to the present political situation.
It is, of course, always possible that
the first conclusion may prove to be er
roneous. and should circumstances de
velop which will tend to throw doubt
uopn this subject, then, of course, a
quick response in the market would fol
low.
In the meantime the stock market gives
ever yevidence of broadening and with a
continuance of the buying movement
should result in a higher level of values.

Receipts, 9,000. with 1,000 left over;
market slow and steady.
The refusal of local packers to meet
any advance In swine prices served to
retard the market this morning, and.
despite a good inquiry from the ou -
side, prices were barely steady at the
start, with a tendency to work lower
being in evidence as trading progressed.
The day’s run was of substantial pro
portions, and was augmented by the
large holdover, which made it compara
tively easv for the buyers to dominate
the situation.
Offerings were of fairly desirable
grades.
Cattle.
Receipts, 850; marset steady.
Dealings in cattle reflected a somewhat
better tone than has been in evidence
for the "ast few days, but there was
no material change in the range of
prices.
Good grades of steers were a little
more plentiful, and the common stuff
also moved more freely. However, there
was not* enough improvement in th
demand to effect an upturn.
Calves.
Receipts, 600; market steady.
A quiet demund prevailed for good
grades of veal calves, but all transac
tions were practically on the basis of
Tuesday's quotations.
Common and grassy stuff was offered
ajmost for any price It would bring,
while the best calves sold as high as
sl4.

division, with prices generally ua

GRAINS REVERSE
AFTER ADVANCE
Selling Heavy Near Close,
With No Buying Support.
CHICAGO, July 7. —Corn futures closed
weak on the Board of Trade today, after
an early spurt.
Traders found It hard to account for
the opening gains, but believed it due to
a theory that recent declines had prog
ressed .is far ns could be expected.
In the last twenty minutes of trading
there was heavy selling, with few takers,
and prices dropped from l%e to 2%e.
• Provisions followed the grains most of
the time.
—July 7
While Ideal weather conditions still
were in evidence, with, good rain*, the
extreme pressure noticeable for the past
three days was absent.
There was little better Inquiry for
cash corn, with smaller supplies offer
ing, and prices from 1 to 32 cents higher.
Shippers were best buyers.
Omaha talked about much smaller re
ceipts ahead, but, on the other hand,
Kansas City reported their July corn
selling about 2% cents under their Sep
tember.
While It is admitted that the advance
came largely from shorts covering, and
rha-r. none of the bullish features came
to the front, it must, be expected that ad
vances will bo occurring through this
critical crop month from weather causes
or smaller receipts, but the news will
have to change radically not to make
certain a sale on these rallies when they
come.
The oat* market has been unduly de
pressed, ' The com decline mgde favor
able feature* forgotten. We probably
will have very few more oats than last
year, and this will be sharly under a
five-year average.
Premiums for cash oats premise to
continue indefinitely, and a large move
ment seems impossible for several months,
with transportation so crippled, aud the
pressure that will bbe insistent to use
available cars to move new and old
wheat.
We continue to believe September oats
are relatively cheap and a purchase on
the dips.
Provns-Market shows plain signs of
having been sold out of ail weak bolder*.
Hogs keep strong, little higher again to
day and indications point to smaller re
ceipts and shipment* of product would
be much larger if ears were available. *
