WALL STREET GOSSIP-New York
STOCK gossip, reported by H. Holbert &
Street Naona 9ant
building, ST. Paul: Strong, Sturgis & Co..
wire US: I'VE have had a traders mar
ket today, with rather lower figures for
the majority of securities, but with none
OF any particular Importance, if we except
the statement of strike among the
smelling interests that may have some
ERECT upon those shares for time. Bust
ness is light and promises to remain so
for the public are Indifferent and the
street needs a leader and an incentive,
yet we cannot see anything but higher
tience and wait the dividend payments
that are sure to come up on the best class
OF industrials. Already we note a slightly
better demand for investment purposes
and with higher prices for railroad stocks
and bonds this IS sure to increase. We
understand that the sugar difficulties are
now adjusted and that hereafter we shall
have peace"

vested as far north as the Ohio and cen
tral Mississippi vallies, with yield light
but quite good. Spring wheat is less
favorable, owing to excessive moisture,
especially in the low lands in North Da-
kota and Minnesota. In South Dakota
spring wheat is in promising condi-
porters report that the summer crops
in southern Russia have been so badly
damaged by drought that they will not be
worth harvesting. The report also states
that there will be no hay and very little
vegetables. Coming on top of the winter
crops, the situation. promises extreme
misery for the people. Brokers of the
