NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Tte tendency of
speculation in railroad stocks to separate it
from that in the industrial special;ies be-
aksa today nSt tina than
minor place in the speculation as they are
likely to do at time when a widespread
road securities, but there were evidences of
elimination of speculative movements in
some of them today and the realizing was
covered by manipulative advices in others.
Brooklyn Transit and Rubber were the most
conspicuous sufferers from LIQUIDATION while
Tobacco and Cotton Oil continued to ad-
vance
BY far the most significant movement in
the market was the enlarged demand for
railroad stocks. This was most conspicuous
in the grangers, but the Pacific railroads also
shared in the movement, and there was
distinctly broadening tendency all through
the list, various inert stocks making large
because belated advances to tne higher 31 level
ger movement turned on traffic possibilities
and was accompanied by limitations that
some of the group will show an increase in
ing off in the grain movement as compared
with last year. Much imports lance was given
to the report received by the state depart
ment of the United States from the consul
at Moscow that Russia is considering p OPP
osition to forbid the expectation of grain,
owing to the failure of the crops to make
good the last years large depletion in re-
serve.
The fact that gold imports were fairly In
augurated today with the announcement that
over 81, 600 900 was engaged. in London for
import, and over $4,000 shipped from sgd
ney for San Francisco had sentimental eff
feet in hardening the market; There was
nothing in the local money market, however,
to indicate the need Of additional funds
the banks on account of war expe nditures,
and there is no appreciable demand from the
interior, in spite of the large increase in
business and the movement of the crops,
The bond market was active today in mid
die and lower grade issues, which quite ge2-
erally advanced. Total sales, $3,245, 600.
United States threes touched 100 today on
sales and the governments were strong ron all
around on the announcement by q treasury
oficial that there would probably be no need
of another issue of bonds on account Of large
internal revenue receipts under the new law.

Not Enough Rain In Some Portions
of MinnesOta

The weekly crop bulletin for the week end
ing Monday, Aug. l, follows:
The first OF the week was moderately
warm, while the latter part was decidedly
cool. The dry conditions continue in most
part of the state, though there have been
scattered showers in many sections The
largest rains were as heavy local showers s,
occurring in the middle west and some of
these were accompanied by hail in parts of
Norman, Clay, Wadena, Mobiles, Redwood
and Yellow Medicine counties, causing some
injury to standing grain The drouth is be-
ing severely felt by the dairying interests.
and by corn and late potatoes Winter
wheat is being thrashed with splendid vi Ids
OF good quality. Spring wheat harvest is
we'll advanced in southeastern count:es
where many farmers have finished; in south
western and central portions, cutting is in
progress; In Clay county the grain is ripen-
ing, and north of Clay county, the heads
are filling well: and prospects for good crop
continued good.
=, In portions where cutting is now going on,
there are some complaints of much uneven
ness in ripening. of rust and blight, and
shrunken grains, but the crop as a whole
promises large yield and excellent quality.
Barley Is generally cut except in the upper
part of the valley, where harvest is now on
The oat harvest is progressing we'll; the crop
is generally good, though lodged badly in
places Stacking, and also thrashing from
the shock, are being done In the southeast.
Barley and oats have yielded splendidly
Corn is much better than usual, but to COM
plete the crop promised, there must be rain.
Late potatoes also need rain badly.
