Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, July 2s.-Higher cables from
Liverpool and tlmfavorable weather for
corn started wheat higher. The reaction
theory also seemed to favor some recovery.
The drop for the past few days has been
such that the trade seemed to come to the
conclusion that it was good thing to buy.
Shorts were disposed to cover and secure
profits, and there was more or less de-
mand for the long account Later, when
numerous crop damage reports about corn
were being received. and the market for
that commodity began to be considerably
affected by them, still further strength was
impaired to wheat. The interest In. cash
or July was revived. 1t was evident that
there was still considerable shortage and
this caused a bullish feeling July shorts
became anxious and covered freely, and
that month showed more strength than
anything else. Bids on a basis OF yester-
days cash prices were In the market here

July closed 111c higher, September rose "a

Corn was unexpectedly easy for a few
minutes at the opening. This weakness
was of short duration, however, as the re-
ports from the country were too bullsh
as regards the damage done by dry weather
for the market to ignore their exfstence.
September closed with a gain of one cent.
Oats were firmer, in sympathy with corn,
advancing AMssc.
After a weak opening and lower prices
for hogs at the yards, provisions firmed up
with corn, closing unchanged from yester-
day

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK. July 2S.--The stock market
today dropped back into a rut and drifted
sluggishly on small transactions, except
for several individual stocks, which were
influenced by special causes. The fact that
yesterdays upward movement: was stopped
in itself made the bears among the trad
ers. although it was attributed to sympa-
thy with the sharp break in sugar.
sugar continued to be the center of in
street today. and trading was feverish, the
price vibrating about above and below yes
terday's close, over a range of 2 points.
The feverish tone was due to doubts as to
whether the recently formed bull pool had
finished its campaign against the shorts.
The bears at one time forced the price
down to 1876, but there was evidence of sup
port. and they were driven to cover. A
brisk upward movement in Manhattan was
also supposed to be the result of much
heralded campaign against the shorts in
that stock The rubber stocks were strong
on the belief that opposition to the com
pany ceases with the death of a leading
competitor. The stock of the lipseed oil
trust slumped violently from 20 A. on re-
ports of the embarrassment of the company
due to the seed market. Peoples Gas
dropped up to the time of the receipt of the
news that the pending suit against the COM
pany for receiver for Equitable Gas had
been thrown out. With that the stock rose
las on heavy covering movement, but re-
acted before the close, which was at net
advance Of only Is.

June statement of ST Paul earnings showed

of increased operating expenses, brought

tiful here, a further expansion OF the cur
rency by gold imports is felt to be of doubt

The Financial Situation

In his latest financial circular, HenrS
Clews of New York summarizes the situa-
ton as follows:
1t is quite likely also that the banks will
increase their circulation to a considerable
extent, when they have acquredt, supply
Of The new bonds; the placing of which as a
popular loan was a gratifying and signifi-
cant example of the confidence of the people
in the government. The moral effect of
this method was, excellent and worth Its
cost to the government. which could readily
have syndicated the whole issue at more
profitable price.
The agricultural situation is another and
very important element of promise. Farm
ers are rapidly getting out of debt, and with
increased prosperity are buying more freely
of both tho necessities and luxuries of life.
The better prices for wheat mean the distri-
button Of many additional millions in the
west and larger' traffic for the railroad'
both eastbound and westbound for some
time to come. Western merchants coming
to this city are enthusiastic in their reports
of trade prospects during the coming fall
the outlook Is that the next six months will
show very decided business revival Even
in the south trade shows marked recupera-
tive tendencies. Notwithstanding the dis
couragingly low price of cotton Industrial
activity is growing and is likely to follow
close upon business revival. Many new en-
terprises are under consideration, and a
larger demand for all sorts Of raw materials
will soon be manifest.
Both sentiment and facts are on the side
of higher prices in the stock market. D.
the moment. for reasons best known to
the market leaders are not ready
for an advance. Stagnation, however, can
not be permanent. Activity will return, and
prices must move along the lines of least re-
sistance; and that will be upwards. unless
unfavorable developments arise from the
war, which do not now seem likely.

Hawaiian Funds

According to; Consult General Haywood
the currency of the Hawaiian islands is o.
the same unit of value as that of the United
States. The gold Is all of American mintage,
and United States silver and paper money
Is In circulation and passes at par. The Ha-
waiian money is paper, the paper being Sc
cured by silver held in reserve. Banks keep
two accounts with their depositors. silver
and gold, and checks are so worded that the
depositor may specify the account from
which the check is to be paid, though In
case the check does not state in what cur
rency 1t is to be paid, the law provides that
the holder may demand gold If the amount
Is over $40. The Hawaiian silver money
amounts TO 81 900. 900. of which 5000 900 is held
by the government to secure a like amount
of paper. The total money in circulation Is
estimated at So, 500 900. The rate Of exchange
Is ~ per cent on eastern cities of the United
States and 1 per cent on the Pacific coast.
