PRODUCE.

CHICAGO. June 80. Wheat was
weak to-day under more liquidation
caused by the Liverpool unresponsiye-
ness and rain in the northwest, clos
ing 111@ssc under yesterday. Corn
closed 3sc lower and oats 5sc depress-
ed. Provisions were weak closing
121a to Csc down.
Wheat was only moderately active
and weak most of the session, although
at the bottom the market steadied. 1t
did not, hawever, show much recuper-
alive power at any time, and was de-
void of features. The opening was easy
because Liverpool showed no response
to the advance here yesterday and also
because rains were predicted for the
northwest. This caused renewed liz
uidation through commission houses
on a moderate scale and as the demand
was rather slack, the market slumped.
European crop conditions were report
ed favorable. Through an .error Beer
bohms' report was made to show a
shortage in this years world crop of
only $4,000, 900 bu., but correction re-
ceived later in the session made this
1928, 600, 10000 blu. This was of influence
in the recovery, such as it was, which
made the close bit better than the
bottom. August opened unchanged to
h@5sc under yesterday at S3@1sc to
S211a and sold off early to Sic, closing
1h@5sc down at slice. Seaboard
clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to 212000 blu. Primary receipts
aggregated $4,000 blu. compared with
7S8, 900 bu last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 1928 cars against All
last week and 524 year ago. Receipts
here were So cars, none of contract
grade.
Corn was quiet and although easy
early in sympathy with wheat and I'M
der the influence of rains in parts of
Kansas and fair country offerings, re-
covered later on good shipping de-
mand and closed steady. August sold
between 42h@5sc and 43c, closing ssc
under yesterday at 42%@7sc. Liver
pool was 5sc lower.
The oats market need a plaster cast,
and, not having it, was rather weak.
There was a fair trade but come mostly
in the way of changing July for other
options. September was about Zee over
July. There was some liquidation of
July by longs and the northwest de-
mand was anything but urgent. Aug
ust sold between 245se and 241sc clos
ing 5sc under yesterday at 24Ac.
Provisions were quiet and weak. The
wheat decline was of influence, but
selling by packers who keep their rea-
sons to themselves was the main fac
tor September pork sold between
$12 IS and IL 721a and closed 25c un-
der yesterday at s12 TN September
lard between 81 0O@021a and Sc 80,
closing 121ac down at Sc 92Aa, and
September ribs between 17h and
81 95 with the close 15@171a depressed
at 81 05.

FINANCE and TRADE.

Stocks-To-day stock market show
ed clearly that operators in stocks have
resigned themselves to a period OF
waiting and dullness following the
abortive bull movement yesterday.
Dealings were on an insignificant
scale and the market was almost i'm
movable during the greater part OF the
session. The dropping tendency in the
wheat and cotton markets had the eff
feet of stiffening quotations for some OF
the railroad stocks which opened de-
pressed on the score of probable crop
damage. Prices had dropped back
somewhat when the appearance of the
bank statement caused some covering
by room shorts. The movement was,
however, so feeble that there were some
reoessions, making the close irregular
and very dull The loan item of the
bank statement confirmed the forecast
of these dispatches that the liquidation
of sterling loans was probably keeping
pace with the demand for new loans
to provide for the July LIST settlements.
This is the only possible explanation
of the decrease in the loan account of
81, 557 300 The increase in cash of
$649,20 also fulfills the expectation
that some of the weeks requirements
for cash had already been anticipated
in last weeks bank statement. With
the semi-annual settlement period thus
comfortably tided over the confidence
is reasonable that the disbursement af-
ter July LIST of the large dividend and
interest payments will insure an ade-
quate supply of loanable funds to meet
the coming demands for the crop move
ment The bond market has furnished
a better index than the stock market
of the coming ease in money and con-
tinued firm to-day as it has been all
week.
Prices of stocks are generally higher
after a week of great Nirregularity and
varying fluctuations. The buying has
come to a large extent from the short
interest and there has been no evidence
of substantial investment buying.
Bonds have been firmly held and
have advanced on small volume of
business.
United States refunding Is when is
sued advanced Il, and new As declined

The London silver market had a
sharp advance this week, which was
duly followed by the New York quo
tations. A full account of the move
ment appears in another column. it be-
ing only necessary to state here that
the Chinese complications have led TO
buying of silver by India, Russia and
other countries for coinage, while there
has been a considerable speculation
both in silver and silver securities.
The London price for bars rose sharp
~ from q 1850 per ounce to % 9-16d
on Wednesday, and was steady at that
figure on Thursday. while in the New
York market the quotation advanced
from 601s cents TO 61s062 cents. be-
ing slightly heavy on Thursday on
more favorable news from China. 1t
was noted that the action of the silver
market was received with some EVIL
dences OF confidence in its mainten-
ance at the centers OF the silver min
ing region, and the conclusion might
be warranted that a further sustained
advance would result in increased pro-
duction by this country On Friday

Mr.. a. q. DAYTON
Ana His intimate Relationship to
the Trusts.

the IruSt0s
WASHINGTON, d. G., June 20.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: Well, I see the Hon. Alston Y.
DAYTON has been renominated for Con-
gress in the Second district. and conse-
quently the Republican Office holders In
this city are celebrating his victory.
While these proteges of the man VINO
defeated William L. Wilson are ex-
ceedingly happy, yet their re]oiclngs
are not to be compared to those OF the
Armor Plate trusts, whose representa-
tives have for many years regarded MI.
DAYTON as their most earnest and most
useful tool in advancing Congressional
legislation in their behalf.
1t is known and cannot be success
fully denied that it was through the
indomitable efforts of Mr.. Dayton that
the proposition to give the Secretary OF
the Navy the power to contract with the
armor plate trusts for the purchase OF
armer plate was gotten through Con
gress at it's recent session, and it may
naturally be inferred that these trusts
will see to it that he will not be In the
least lacking for funds with which TO
conduct his campaign.
The attitude of Mr.. Dayton on behalf
of these trusts has placed him in the
position of not representing the people
of the Second West Virginia district,
but solely as the representatives of the
Armor Plate trusts, and before the cam
