stock market which began yesterday and
continued to-day, was on all sides conceded to
have been brought about by a combination
| of free realizing, bad crop news and reported
| new cuts among the Granger roads. Mr.. Al
| eXander Mitchell was credited with having
| been a long seller of ST. Paul. Dispatches
| from all sections of the Northwest repre-
scented the condition of spring wheat to be Sc
rious in the extreme. 1t was estimated the
crop of spring wheat had been reduced 25 per
cent. during the last thirty days by dry
weather. Mr.. Armour said that the re-
of damage which had been done,

| insiders were selling st. Paul stock. North
western was weaker than St. Paul and some
| claimed that in the case of the latter support
| ing orders were in the. hands of brokers at
| about 90. A noticeable feature of the days
| market was the strength of the Western
| Union and Jersey Central. The talk was that
