BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as seen From
Wall Street.

New York, June 29.-The stock mar
ket received a check this week from I'M
pleasant developments with a local bank
that plainly emphasizes the desirability
of caution in speculative operations. 1t
is just such weak spots as this which
may at any time bring on disagreeable
consequences. At the moment there are
two other factors, also, not altogether
favorable to a bull campaign, In spite OF
the many other satisfactory conditions,
These are the German financial crisis and
the local money market. The crop and
fall trade demands are only six weeks
or so distant, and it is evident that I'M
less the bank reserves are increased no
very extensive speculation in stocks can
be carried on without mourning a strin-
gent money market. AS soon as July dis
bursements are made some relief will be
afforded, and there is no telling how far
the big holders of securities may be able
and willing to aid the money market.
The leaders in railroad management
have not been slow to foresee that this
increase of earnings may be attended
with some embarrassment. The Ameri-
can people have always been jealous
about the profits of great corporations
especially in the case of those that serve
large public interests. If some states,
the legislatures have imposed a limit up
on the rates of interest which railroads
may pay; and 1t is by no means an i'm
possibility that public opinion may incline
to the conclusion that some limitation
ought to be enforced against high rates
of dividend on railroad stocks, as a means
of preventing the transportation interests
from expressing the industrial and COM
mercial interests. The recent railroad
'deals"-whether so explicitly intended or
not-have had the actual effect of replac-
ing some 1856, 900, 900 of first class railroad
stocks by new issues of $55O,000000 of
bonds, and the earnings which have been
distributed on the former are now dis
tributed among the holders of the larger
latter sum, with the apparent effect of
reducing the rate of interest by one-third
whilst really leaving the total amount of
interest disbursed wholly unchanged. One
of the effects of these changes is to with
draw from the market a large amount of
stock investments, with the effect of tenn
porarily strengthening prices and putting
up the price of bonds.

Mr.. Moores short stories win welcome
this work. He has the happy faculty of

certain percentage Of the seeds are
found to be capable of termination, this
will serve as a guide to the amount which
should be planted. II only certain per-
centage will give good, strong plants.
then the required number can be Sc
cured by planting an additional amount
of seed, over and above the usual
amount.
The seed may be tested by sowing a
definite number in the seeed bed, but
the better plan is to use a seed-tster.
The material required for a simple eff
ficient one consists of an ordinary dinner
plate, two pieces of clean, white cloth of
medium thickness and piece of win
dow glass having a diameter slightly
greater than that of the plate.
When required for use, the cloths are
dipped In water and wrung out, one of
them is placed on the plate, a hundred
seeds are counted out and dropped upon
this then the other cloth Is spread over
the seeds and this is covered by the glass
The tester should then be set in a room.

80 degrees #.
The time required for termination va
ries considerably; for instance, lettuce
seed generally terminates IN from two to
five days, while parsnip seed often takes
two weeks or more. though the germina-
ton of seeds of the latter class may be
FASTENED by placing them in warm wa
ter Q00-ll0 degrees F. for twenty-four
hours.
The seeds I'm the tester should be ex-
amined from time to time and those which
have terminated should be removed and
counted, thus the percentage of germina-
ton may be ascertained. More than one
hundred seeds may OF course be used.
but this is a convenient number. The per-
centage which terminates may be used
as a guide to the amount of seed to plant
as already indicated.

GASES. The list is mixed, some stocks
being higher and some lower than a week
ago, with changes generally small. Ten
hessee Coal was late strong feature ad-
Nancing from 65 on Thursday to 72Ik on
Saturday Favorable crop news was a
potent factor in sustaining the market;
moreover, as cheaper moving is expected
in the immediate future. a momentary rise
in the rate to Is per cent. failed to have
very depressing effect. Saturdays bank
statement was better, and the market had
firm hook at the close. 1t is we'll, how
ever, to be cautious what stocks to buy
and when to buy them
Following last weeks forecast, cotton
was active and strong early in the week,
with largely increased interest in July,
which by Tuesday had risen A points, to
6.S5c On continued poor crop advices
late months also mat erially improved,
January selling % points up at 77Sc. Lat
er, the market turned weaker on reports
of rains in Texas; but prices were again
higher on Saturday, July closing at S.5Sc,
January 7.55c. Crop accounts are very
badly mixed. The Texas showers were
too scanty and scattered to permanently
allay fears of drought, and there are
many complaints from other sections. 1t
certainly looks, however as if the bu-
reau report on Wednesday ought to show
a better condition than at this time last
year. Still, 1t seems dangerous to be
short of the market.
Wheat was variable, but mostly weak.
July declined 1c, then advanced nearly
&c, broke again and closed about NC
lower, at 6519c. September closed 6612c.
The situation is a complicated one. For
eign markets and movement of stocks are
bullish, and European crops are consid-
erably below the average. But the weak
ness Genes from the brilliant outlook for
the American crop, the bears now indulg-
ing in enormous estimates. Taking it al
together, there are now two sides to the
question, and 1t would appear that wheat
is too low to sell. and about low enough
to commence buying.
