Sweny and Cox we're the most prominent, who
were barred on the charge OF professionalism
two years ago. Hereafter. men who deal in or
who manufacture golf clubs or balls may rank
as amateurs, providing that they do not visit
the links for the purpose OF transacting their
business. In Sweny's case the offence was
more fragrant than in any other instance. Up

The decline in exchange rates and the
checking OF the gold exports has, to a
certain extent, affected the tone of the
market favorably. The investment demand
for bonds and prime investments is OF
the same large and eager kind hereto
fore noted This week has seen advances
in a number OF the higher grades Of bond
issues, with new records in the quotations
for them. The same tendency also has an
effect on dividend paying stocks. On the
other hand uncertainty in regard TO the
crops and the outcome as to railway ton
prominent TO exercise a restrictive in
fluence on speculation. The irreguarity In
crop estimates usual at this period OF the
year, is rather more pronounced than for
some seasons past, is in many quarters con
sidered a good reason for waiting on the
part OF the large speculative interests.
Some OF the latter have indeed given sup
port to their speclalties. hut others have
been active on the bear side. although in
all operations of that character at present
the disposition is TO cover for small profits.

ditions figure to greater extent than
usual this week. not only in the domain
In the actual distribution but In their &C
feet on values OF staples, particularly ag-
ricultural products. a majority of which
are higher Noteworthy in this respect
is wheat, which has advanced on govern
ment and other reports, according to some,
TO $4,000, 600 bushels, and by others esti-
mated as low as 500 900 600. The possibility
Is also present of spring wheat for the
hrst time on record equalling, If not ex-
ceeding in yield that of the winter sown
grain, owing to the severe weather last
winter and insect damage to the latter
crop since then. Particularly helpful.
however, in advancing prices have been
the reports OF widespread damage to the
Russian crop, less glowing spring wheat
reports from the Northwest and tentative
estimates OF the worlds crops.
Oats and other small cereals have sym
pathized with wheat. particularly as acre.
age and condition figures are diminished
Hog products have shared the strength OF
cereals and the cotton market remained
unchanged. although reports of decreased

featured goods. rather rejecting in iact'
reports of improved crop conditions at the
South. the drouth having been broken
The crop is still backward however. Ad-
vices as to the distrlbutive trade are IN
the main favorable. Hot weather mas
stimulated retail business and orders for
fall delivery are reported in larger volume
and earlier than for years past.
The iron and steel industry displays I'M
exampled activity as regards summer pro-
duction and consumption, limited only by
the obtaining OF supplies. Advances along
this line are again feature in trade Pre-
dictions of a further advance in the price
OF rails are made. Notwithstanding uease
advances. there is still some export in
uuiry. and a feature represented has been
one on continental account for American
coke. Iron ore shipments, although the
season Is three weeks late, nearly equal
those OF a year ago. Long abandoned
Eastern ore mines are being opened and
shipments of Alabama steel and Texan
pig iron to Pittsburg disproye the truth
