New York July 21-There was no relief in the undertaking quietude of the stock market today. A few of the industrial spe- cialties were pushed up on considerations of individual stock. The strength of these had some sympathetic effect on the general list stocks in which showed appreciation in price on very small volume of dealings Not all of these gains were held, but prices at the close showed small ret gains as a rule. Rubber, Leather, Metropolitan, Lead and Cotton oil were all advanced quite ma- terially, and there were few of the rail- road stocks which rose as much as point. London was small buyer on balance. The hesitation in the wheat market had its reflection in stock market though the fact is now accepted that we are now to have. a wheat crop of unprecedented proportions Of rather more significance was today's report that there were prospects of a large crop of Roumanian wheat. supplementing yesterdays report of an expected heavy increase in the French cron Current prices for the future deliveries Of wheat show a tendency to spread from the prices ruling at the corresponding period last year, the active speculation in the coming crop at this time last year beng i'll full force with reports of damage to European crops and the prospective heavy shortage. Today's price for the September delivery in New York is about cents under the price for the corresponding period of last year.
