GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
pecinl Dispatcb to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, July Unsatisfactory con-
ditions in the Levant and exaggerated re-
ports OF the coal strike cabled to foreign
papers had depressing influence on the
London market this morning Stocks in
the American department reflected de-
clines varying from IA to IL per cent and
some selling fer foreign account was con-
spicious during the first hour.
Inc local trading was principally profess
sional and in the interest of lower prices.
Later in the day London changed front
suddenly and repurchased early sales. The
trading element became active in a similar
movement and prices recovered rapidly in
all departments.
st. Paul was especially favored in the
rev buying and advanced per cent I'M
der volume OF business in which COM
mission orders were more conspicuous than
usual. The entire Granger group profited
by this buying. the gains extending beyond
fractional limits in almost every instance.
Inc general market recovered i'm SYM
patty with the improvement in the grain
carrying roads and the short interest about
the room was literally covered.
The reactfonists are less confident than
heretofore. but the narrowness of the mar
ket Is still left as an argument against
extended improvement.
The change in sentiment was due mainly
10 the prospects OF an early adjournment
of Congress. The vote on the tariff bill In
the Senate today is expected to be fol-
lowed by developments of unusual import
ance in the immediate future.
The streets wish for remedial currency
legislation seems destined to be given early
and conscientious attention. In view of
this latter prospect many conservative
operators were disposed to re-enter the
market.
Crop prospects. earnings and a slow but
steady business growth, added to remedial
legislation, are factors offering small in
centive to short sales.
The short interest in American Sugar was
credited with the ~ per cent advance in
that property.
The defeat of the antitrust schedules at
yesterdays session and conGden. predic-
items as TO the outcome Of the conference
were factors inspiring this covering.
The buying today clearly reflected lack
OF faith i'm lower prices. Friends of Chi
cago Gas were again liberal buyers of those
shares and have abandoned none of the
original predictions as to the ultimate high
level. The Industrial group generally is
expected to reflect the passage of the tariff
bill.
Some realizing may follow the actual
arnouno ement, but it is not thought that
any significant reaction will result. The
trading during the final hour was duh and
irregular. In most instances, however the
Let changes were beneficial.

Many of Our Vegetables Are of For
ciyn Extraction.

cixn Extraction.
Most of people who sit down to their din
ner table are accustomed to regard a large
part of the china ware, silver ware and ia
BILE linen before them of foreign make
but it seldom occirs to them that many of
the vegetables placed on their tables are
also of foreign extraction. 1t does not Of
ten happen that the vegetables themselves
were brought from without the country,
but in a majority of cases the seed from
which they are raised were imported from
France. Germany, England or Denmark.
Nearly all. the asparagus seed sold by
seednen in this country come from France.
Beet seed generally are from France and
Germany. Half the cabbage seed come
from France and the other half from Ger
many. All the best caulihowcr seed come
from Denmark. Half the celery seed on
the market are from France. France and
Germany furnish about all of the carrot
tress endide kales. parsnps parsley, radish,
rhubarb. satisfy. spinach and turnip seed.
The United States is able to furnish the
market with seed for beans, about half the
cabbage seed, the chief of varieties of eau
lifiower, some celery, all the sweet corn,
cucumber, egg plant, leek. lettuce, musk
melon, watermelon, onion, pumpkin,
squash, tomato, tobacco and seed for field
crops. Nearly all the flower seed sold in

the reason that they can be brought into
the country cheaper than they can be
raised here. though in some cases it is
claimed that til, foreign seed give better
results than those raised here. 1t is likely
in the future that more of the seed used
in the country will be raised at home, as
the pending tariff bin contemplates a duty
of 40 per cent ad valorem on all garden
seeds imported. Previously the duty has
been but 10 per cent. Last year coo, 900
bushels of peas came into this country
from Canada. the duty being hut 20 cents
a bushel. The tariff bill pending doubles
this duty. good many agriculturalists
think that the placing Of a duty on beet
and radish seed, the former being SO ex-
tensively cultivated for sugar. will work
an injury rather than benefit to them, as
1t Is claimed that such seed cannot be pro-
duced in the United States with good re-
suits.
