MDUSTRIALS HEAVY
and DECLINING
Decided Pressures Felt in the
Stock Market Dealings.
Spectators Not Inclined to Engage
in Active Operations.
wheat Makes Advances in Sym.
pathy With the Tone at For
eign Grain Centres.

New York, June 17.-There was an ex-
tremely lethargic speculation in the stock
market this morning, and the tone Of the
market was heavy. Practically all of tie
industrial stocks were under pressure,
with pronounced declines in American
Steel and Wire. Federal Steel, National
Steel. and Sugar Refining.
Aside from Steel and Wire. where the
dissensions in the management in regard
to the dividend accounted for the weak
ness. there was no news explaining the
pressure upon these stocks. There was al
so a practical absence OF news or devel-
opments over night affecting the general
market. Wheat advanced. but this cir
crmstance was in response to the course OF
the foreign grain markets.
London was not a factor of consequence
in the local stock market, either in re-
spect to the quotations for American
stocks or to the dealings here for foreign
account. The trading element were SELL
ers of stocks abroad on the publication of
the bank statement. which was expected to
show a large reduction in surplus reserves,
but there seemed to be little outside liQui-
dation on this account. The granger
shares and the other standard issues were
almost wholly neglected, but the dealings
in advance OF the bank statement were
generally made at declines from the final
prices of yesterday.
The anthracite coal stocks were compar
atively firm on the belief in impending
favorable Developments in the coal trade.

4 Shre~vd Farmer.

(From the Detroit Free Press)
In one of the towns of upper Michigan is
the president of a railroad that is several
removes from trunk line. AS horse
trader he is of the same type as David Ha-
rum. and thinks II perfectly Christian
to get the better OF the other fellow Not
long since he sold a roadster to farmer
near the place, receiving $175. One day
last week the farmer dropped into the
presidents office, and casually enquired
whether that official really thought the
horse worth the money paid for it.
Not trying to rue bargain, are you,
Si?" replied the president. THAT horses
worth $500 to man who drives as much as
you do If needed one at all. you couldn't
have bought him at any figure"
Wouldn't $500 be a little steep fur
him?"
Not bit of it. He's got better pedi
gree than many a 2:20 horse; he can keep
a kitten. There isn't horse In the State
for road work. and don't you touch less
than $500 for him.
well, l won't"
Then the farmer winked at a couple of
men who had been listening, and laid a
paper before the president.
Them men O. yours that were haulin'
ties cross my place left the fence down,
the hoss got on the track, and freight
train done the rest
But your claim for $3.50 is ridiculous.
Well contest it."
But when 81 grinned from ear to ear and
when the two men laughed uproariously,
the president blushingly announced that
he would have the matter adjusted in &C.
cordance with the claim.

OUTLOOK OF AMERICAN CROPS.
Heavy Reductions shown in the Win
ter Wheat Yield.

New York. June 1.-THE Evening Sun
prints the following financial news today
under the caption The Outlook"
Lacking in the stimulus il received last
week through the declaration OF the regu-
lar dividend on American Sugar Refining
stock. the speculation in the stock market
has since become quiet and rather unset
tied. Perhaps the most important .influ-
ence now engaging the attention is the
outlook for the wheat crop. The Govern
ment's crop report for the month was pub
lished after the close of business on Satur-
day. Hence its showing played 10 pait in
last weeks market. This week the agri-
cultural outlook has attracted more gen.
eral attention, with a naturally unfavora-
Bile effect as regards stock values. The re-
duction in the winter wheat yield is now
variously estimated at from 100, coo 600 to
1870, 600 900 bushels as compared with last
years harvest. According to the lowest
estimates, the winter yield will be the
smallest of any in over ten years, while.
according TO the most liberal this years
winter crop will be somewhat larger than
those of 1890, 1893, 1895. and 1896. but far
below the average of the other intervening
years. The outlook for the spring wheat
crop in the middle of June is, of course,
pfOOlematlcal.
The agricultural outlook and the chang
ing condition in the foreign exchange are
the two most salient points of difference
on the outside, in comparison with last
year. At that time, to be sure, the war
with Spain was still in progress, but the
overwhelming success of the war loan and
our victories on land and sea made that
circumstance rather a stimulating factor
than otherwise. We are, to be sure, twelve
months nearer to a Presidential election
than we were then, but on the other hand
last November's election had much more
important bearing than that of this year.
Sugar has become an investment stock,
an extra hazardous investment possibly,
but the 11,0o0 stockholders are evidence
OF its investment character. Let the new
industrials make and pay dividends not
in good times alone, but in times of de-
preston, and the seal would be placed on
the great economic revival of 1S97-99."
