CONDITION DESCRIBED AS
MIDSUMMER DULLNESS.
Overwhelming Importance is Attached e
the Fate Of the Corn Crop
This Year.

New York, May 15.-The passive condition
OF the speculation was not changed today
The volume Of the dealings fell away to
what Is proyerblally known as midsummer
dullness The condition Of the stock mar.
ket Is by no means abnormal at this season
que TO the shifting course Of money re
sources and the uncertainties Of the crop
season.
Overwhelming Importance is attached to
the rate of the corn crop this year. espe-
Gally In view of the high prices of that
cereal owing to last years shortage and
the present prospect for only part of a
winter wheat crop. AS the corn crop Is
scarcely more than in the ground vet. the
chances Of the future are almost too un.
certain even for speculative ventures. The
present waiting attitude OF the market IS
therefore entirely reasonable and natural.
50 TAR rs the situation IS strained and nm.
natural In any degree II is due ia inc
recent effort Of pools and speculative
pluHSefs TO stir up an uuwarruuted aC-
uyity In the speculation and to bid up
prices TO unstable heights
The money furry last week and on Mon
Day was the corrective influence and has
resulted in the present conditions Inc
guinness Is acccntuated, of course, by the
addltornl elem mt of uncertainty In the
threatened strike of anthracite miners the
assembling of the Bocr pence conference
was also n possl.ty repressive influence, at
least In checking the buying for London nc
count which has been in evidence here for
several days past.
1t is well recognized now that this buy
ing represented mostly the transfer of hold
lngs from New York to London, to take ad-
vantage of the cheaper money rate there
and the demand on the London market
made Itself felt yesterday In the stiTrumg
rates; There was a hardening tendency

Elsewhere, UNCHANGED.

Yesterdays cotton market was one of
peculiar environments and II is safe TO
say that the oldest Spectator was quite as
much at sea as the youngest The facts
we're bullish, the fances bearsh There
was nothing but exhaustion in the figures
OF the movement and there was nothing TO
Indicate change from such a tendency IN
the immediate future. Considerations that
relate to the new crop, however, came into
the situation with such force rs to trans
form the spirit Of the trade and It was
chiefly upon this issue that the hammer
club struck its heaviest blows
According to reports from the belt there
was complete moisture In those sections
which the bureaus document OF Tuesday
stated were lacking in such, and this advice
made the picture Of the growing crop quite
perfect. The elevation which occurred on
the day before was only a stronger incen-
tive to liquidation under these conditions
and an array of satisfied bulls aided the
move in that direction. Bears became more
confident sellers for the short" account
and the pressure thus engendered shaped
the course Of the value scale.
A certain feeling OF unrest was also In
existence on account Of the probabilities OF
such thoughts, yet 1t is fact that thos,
who rely most implicitly on the side Of the
arugment that concerns manufacturers
manifested caution that did, much to Ia.
timidate speculation. That such a step
w0uld be a potent factor In the way Of
tvlng up the wheel of the fabric maker as
well as that of the iron master is a very
natural conclusion. A glance at the real
conditions, however, can not do more than
cause the factor to be chiefly sentimental
but the purposes Of the bear were well
served. The latter contingent used the
common weapons Of offeusc. They contcnded
that the late liquidation was not sufficient
10 clear the clouds away, ana that an al
vance Of 1l4c per pound over prices of d
year ago Is ample in the face Of prospects
for a yield that looks In its infancy "a b,

with troubles threatening the industrial
world with dear money the order Of the
day in financial circles and prices on the
list Of foodstuffs abnormally high the sltua
ton augurs well for some kind Of n shocl
that VIII mar all dreams Of the optmists
IL Is right TO say that bulls kept thcil
nerves intact throughout the proceeding;
and the systematic diminishment of the
leavings of the crop caused confident feel
