Chicago. July 21.-Wheat opened easy

Argentine shipments for the ween were

with 5000 bushels last year. Continental
demand was reported not large, but still a
demand, and predictions of showers in
the Northwest, together with predictions
of more favorable weather. caused some
buying, on which September rallied to

ulation is set, was reported damaged in
Washington. The demand was soon filled
in the pit and after holding for time
around Tic, September started on an ir-
regular decline, which ended only with

As to Taxation.

The impracticability and inequality
of personal property taxation have
been discussed. but its effect in driv-
ing out capital has been referred to
only incidentally This is an important
effect and IS particularly deserving of
consideration by owners of real estate.
Personal property is easily transport
ed, and will fly away from oppression
wherever there is a refuge. The laws
of our states differ so much that no
state can legislate for itself without
taking into account the laws of other
states which surround it.
There is abundant testimony that
capital has been driven from New York
by oppressive taxation, and when capt.
tai is driven away population goes with
it, Not only is capital driven away.
but also many rich are induced to ac-
quire legal residence in other states,
although they may continue to live a
part of the year in New York. The
large cities of Ohio have lost 50
many wealthy citizens that there has
been a great decline in the value of
choice residence property. The effect

Financial Review,

New York, July 21--Bradstreets FL
nancial Review will say tomorrow: Elk
ceedingly narrow conditions have pre-
vailed this week in the market for secur-
tiles. The customary suspension of its
activity at this period of the year has
been aggravated by the continued firm
ness of money, the uncertainty of the
financial position and of speculation in
the foreign markets and by the increased
symptoms of stringency and nothing to
enforce liquidation of holdings of stocks.
The fact that crop prospects at the West
are favorable, the outlook for phenome-
nal yield of corn in particular being very
bright. has also checked bearish activity
and caused some purchasing of the gran
ger stocks, based on the idea that largely
increased earnings are assured on these
properties.
The example of the London money mar
ket, where the somewhat stringent con-
ditions that have lately prevailed are
attributed to the activity of trade through
Great Britain and the consequent demand
for mercantile accommodations has not
escaped the attention of the market and
furnishes the basis for comparisons be-
tween the position at London and what
is possible here. During the earlier DAYS
of the week the strngenCy of money at
London and the tirmness of exchange
rates here caused apprehension that the
recent OutnOW OF SOld would be renewed,
but such fears were not realized and the
appearance of an easier tone in principal
foreign money markets. with the absence
of an advance in the Bank of England's
discount rate on Thursday was accounted
as favorable factor
The strike on the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit system and the similar disturbances on
some of the Metropolitan lines in Manhat-
tan borough had less effect than might
have been anticipated, though the stoCAs
OF both corporations were depressed and
the incident, particularly in the early por-
ton OF the week created additional eau
ton in professional circles 1t is however
one OF the maxims of Wall street that
bear movements based on labor troubles
are seldom, if ever, profitable to short
sellers of the stocks affected. For this
reason, and because of the support ex-
tended to the traction stocks, they did
not yield materially, and I'm fact some
showed response to the later develop
ments tending to show the weakness of
the strike. There We're no new deals in
the railroad world though suggestions of
coming developments of that kind con-

New York. July H.-The stock market
was dull to-day for the whole list, but
the tone was firm and prices were higher
than those of last night. The grangers
were especially in good demand and ruled
for the greater part of the day at about
point above yesterday. Burlington and
Rock Island showed special strength and
there was some evidence of manipulation
in these two stocks. Much talk was heard
of Burlngton's large earnings for June
and rumors were afioat of a coming in
crease in Rock Islands coming dividend
rate, which was, however, without Off
cial sanction.
London was decided factor in the days
higher prices and buying for that account
in New York was estimated at 10000
shares, principally of Louisville & Nash
vile.
Money conditions were apparently mucn
easier in London and the sterling eX-
change rate here worked lower in SYM
pathy in spite of the lower tendency of the
local money rates. All apprehension of
shipments of gold tomorrow were dissi-
pated early in the day, with a beneficial
effect on speculative sentiment The in
fuences from abroad were favorable,
cline in the sterling exchange rate at
Paris, which suggested money needs at
that center. Considering the dullness of
the market, the scope of the dealings was
remarkably broad. large number of US
ually inactive stocks coming into activity
and registering sharp gains. Among these
were Colorado & Southern first preferred,
Colorado Fuel, the smelling stocks, Lead
and Pacific Mail. Not all of these gains
were held, the market dropping away
somewhat in the intense dizziness of the
late trading.
The local fraction stocks were all in
pretty good demand. Brooklyn Transit

Sugar was inclined to be heavy through
out the day on rumors of new develop
ments in the opposition. Some hesitation
was caused in the late dealings by doubts
as to the character of Tomorrow bank

problematical. Prices were marked up in
