MARKET TAKES ON A BEARISH Tlim Fair Weather and Favorable Crop Reports Cause a De cline in Wheat The following grain and st«ck letters mere wired yesterday to St. Paul brokers by their New York and Chicago corre spondents: .M.. Doran & Co.'s. Chicago grain letter says:.. ..j. Wheat—Better weather and crop ad vices, coupled with the local character of trade, gave the market a bearish turn. The Northwest was a fair seller .on bet ter spring wheat prospects and local bulls were worried at rapidly advancing har vest time, which gives promise of fair July receipts. We are conservatively bearish. Liverpool closed unchanged to ■ 8 d higher. i . ... • —The market was weak in tone, but prices closed a trifle higher on a late spurt. Trade was purely local and such support as was given came from floor professionals. Bulls found little en couragement in the day's - news. The * weather is improving. :;/ The country movement is liberal. Receipts here con tinue .large. The sample market was steady for good grades, but lc a bu lower for the poor ones. The shipping- demand is slow and practically nothing has been taken from store during the past few days. '.' - •. —The .strength in the cash*situa tion gave a firm tone to the market. Trade was small. "but values were well maintained. , The Price Current says the crop is progressing favorably and letters \ from our Illinois stations are; all exoep tionally optimistic. The Kansas state report gives condition as SO on increased acreage. The shipping demand is good and the sample market firm. Receipts were light, If any such crop as is now indicated is harvested the present Sep tember price will look high. Estimated cars, 93. • r^ > O'Connor & Van Bergen-sr stock letter says: ■ There has been no development of in terest that would account for the rather abrupt cessation of the buying power. which appeared Wednesday. .. Traders, although inclined to be bullish on pros pects of a favorable crop report, having learned - caution. ~ turned sellers rather than take a chance in present listless condition of trading./ Stocks have • been well taken, however, prices having been shaded but slightly in.--spite of this profit taking. London has shown more spec ulative interest in our affairs than for some time, buying some 15.000 shares, mostly Union Pacific and Atchison. The principal influences contributing to ad vance in Reading are first th» class of baying around .4», ■ which: was reported particularly good; and the fact that peo ple close to official ? quarters are. mani festing much interest in the stock. Esti .mates from well informed sources con tinue very confident-as to this quarter's earnings being over $18,000,000, and there •win be no change in the first preferred dividend. Announcement of earnings will not be made this year until the latter part of July. We -are inclined to believe the market hesitation is due in a great meas ure to inclination to wait ; official figures from the government as to general agri cultural conditions. t* ■>*••?»; •-:, J. C. Geraghty. & Co.*k correspondents Bay of stocks: -.*. . • •-. . Logan & Bryan—The market holds its modest improvement of " the' Oast ■ few days. It is, of course, not active and activity at this time can hardly be ex pected. There is. however, no selling pressure from any quarter." Bearish en thusiasm has evaporated and holders of stocks seem contented with their hold ings. • We think the market n»y be boyght with safety. Great immediate re turns can hardly j»e expected; but a kit tle patience will be rewarded; V nick Bros—The market has been quite dull. The trading dropped back to very small proportions. The list was firm, but only firm. The fluctuations being nar row, as a .rule, the leading shares ; showed no gains.-' Expectations of a good crop report ana: a. good bank statement on Saturday had bUiueßce, but-.did. not induce, buying. ". ' " ■. ' ' '"*" y^-^\ ■■;.■-. Walker Bros,— market was very quiet and uneventful. After a steady ppemng there was slight decline,-' caused largely by traders sellings With the ex ception of some acti\itt- and strength in Smelter stocks.' the general market lapsed into dullness,'but closed strong at about Jast night's prices. -. . .

Q STOCKS STILL DROOP UPWARD MOVEMENT FINDS NO EN ; CPURAGEMENT Halt In the Advancing Tendency of Prices Throw* the Market Back into a Condi , tion of' Apathy—influence of Crop Im _ provement Grows X ,'. NEW YORK, June 9.—The light specu lation for an advance in prices which was in evidence yesterday was somewhat dis couraged today and gave little show of enthusiasm.' The poor market afforded for taking profits yesterday afternoon served to discredit the upward movement. London gave some • upward impulse to prices early in the day and took stocks here until they reached the London parity, when the foreigners turned sellers again. London was said to be somewhat disap pointed over the.failure to reduce the .dis count rate of the Bank of England. But the statement of the "bank left no room' for anxiety over the financial situation in London, the $2,600,000 bullion increase being accompanied by a loan contraction of over $14,000 bringing the proportion of reserve to liability to over 50 per cent. .At the same time the Bank of France showed a further rise in its gold holdings of over $7,500,000, with a reduction'of over $23,000,000 in its bills discounted. 7 ■• It was not surprising, therefore, that a violent advance -in' the sterling rate at Paris should reflect the turn .in the cur rent of the stream of capital away from the French capital again. The sterling rate eased here, although an additional con- i signment of $2;697,©00 in Japanese gold arriving at San Francisco was made avail able to New York bank reserves by tele graph. The result is something lflte a re dundancy of capital at the great finan cial centers of , the ; world with/a corre sponding; apathy of . speculative and even of investment demand "r which : seems to point to a world wide cause. . Here in \ New York the halt in the advancing ten dency of prices threw the market back into, an apathetic condition. ; r: . Iron Attracts Attention --,- ; There was further discussion of the statistics of production and consumption of iron which made their appearance yes-' terday just before the close of the stock market. The shrinkage in consumption ; 'of iron is so generally Accepted as highly i significant of business conditions in "gen eral that the discussion was ■?■ .bound- to' have some influence on speculative senti ment." The New York Central's state ment of May gross earnings, showing a falling off- of $342,500. or more than 5 per cent from the previous year, was a re minder of an unpleasant fact in the situa tion. ■■ ; *: ' An opinion is held' that the May state ment of net earnings may show the benefit of measures of retrenchment not yet re flected in any statements published. The coalers "are especially pointed to as bene ficiaries .from this development.; ;-Grain crop estimates .by ■ some of the ■■-. unofficial authorities aroused, some apprehensions that the • government report, due tomor row afternoon, might not prove as favor able as has been hoped. - The influence of the crop. prospects on . speculative ■ markets gains In force as the crops mature. The question of labor . troubles was kept in evidence by the maintenance of the ves selmen's strike on the lakes, the strike ordered of marine firemen in the coast wise trade and the course of , events in Colorado. < ■■:.--'■ * ;, *::- t. : There was some investment absorption of well secured " bonds; but weakness among speculative issues, made the price movement irregular.

June 9.—Spreading of - har vesting operations-had a weakening in ttuence on the wheat market today. In July wheat there" was a net loss of %@%c. Corn is off %c. Oats are down a shade.- Provisions are; 2%c lower to 10c higher. For the first half hour , the wheat mar ket showed considerable firmness, due to wet weather in sections of the South west, where harvesting 'is in , progress.- Firmness of foreign markets, especially" at Paris, helped to create bullish- senti ment at the start. Opening sales were at an advance of a shade, to %c at 87c to 87,@87%c. - The price soon rose to 87% c. Part of the. early demand was due to a rumor that the Mexican import duty on wheat was to be suspended.. Later there were dispatches from Tennessee stating that cutting of wheat had commenced and would .be general the beginning of the coming week.. It was intimated that the crop would be the largest in years. With the area tof harvesting operations ex tending- .dally, wheat traders began to realize that new wheat "would soon be coming on the market. With this in view many traders were disposed to take the selling side. Numerous favorable reports as to . crop prospects in general brought out. selling orders from some of the large holders. The Kansas "state report was quite bearish, showing 'the condition of wheat June Iy. to be 87 against 82 last month. Advices from the spring wheat . territory . told *' of continued improvement ,in crop conditions. Predictions were re iterated that ■ the/government report, to be-issued tomorrow, would be exceeding ly bearish regarding spring wheat. In the face . of these influences buying lacked vim and prices steadily declined. A rally occurred just before the close on covering by shorts,' > but the market -still retained an easy tone. • After selling off to 86% c, July closed at 86% c. : . . - ' ;i!; Clearances fc -of wheat and flour were equal to •; 32,300 bu. * Primary receipts were 234.000 bu, compared' with 254,000 bu a year ago. -Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 145 . cars, against 143 cars last week and 205 cars a • year ago. - ; ■-'£■:■■£&. _ :. • •." .* > Corn Turn* Heavy ; T ," .; Wet i weather hail & bullish effect ;on the corn .market. early in the day and a moderate v advance -■. over i yesterday'-s closing quotations were realized. : Heavi ness of- wheat '•* and predictions of j im- . proved • weather, however, brought out numerous ,<. selling orders, resulting ■in a decline. A feature of . trading was selling .by outsiders. who were doubtless in fluenced by favorable crop prospects. Late in the day nearly all the loss ; was gre gained on covering by shorts. July open ed %c to ..%@%c: higher at 48%@49c. sold between 48% c and 49% c, closing at 48%@49c. Local receipts were 382 cars, with 19 cars of contract grade. * -- • Oats were extremely dull and 1 held within a narrow range. Weakness of wheat caused some selling, ! but scarcity of offerings and a good cash demand had v a steadying effect. \ After • opening un oh£n^iLto < a shade higher at 39% cto 39%@39%c. July sold between 39% @ 39% c and 39% c. closing at 39% c. Local receipts were 61 cars. . i." »^ < Provisions were ..-firm |on covering by shorts and on buying by packers. The impression that -, a prominent packer was short a big line of. ribs tended to strength en the market. September pork closed with a gain of 10c at $12.20. September lard was off 2%e at $6.75.
