Free offerings Early With
Little Demand

throughout the session. closing prices be-
ing near BE low point July showing a
loss of 1GlIsc. Corn opened steady. but
soon felt the influence of wheat prices
and closed about steady. at d decline
for July of 1@a5sc. Oats showed a loss
of 11sal4c while provisions were 71kq
12Izc lower.
Weak cables and good rain reports
started the decline in wheat and many
timid longs sold out. a scarcity of ad-'
verse crop reports helped the downward
tendency and Z lot of wheat came out on
stop-loss orders. There was fair support
early and prices were steady at the open
ing, with July i4dSsc lower, at 74tsGf4l4c
selling up during the hTst hour 10 1850.
Soon offerings became larger, however.
and there was a gradual descent, the
market showing no rallying powers until
near the end Of the session the low point
was reached. Fair buying by the lead
ing long prevented d further slump and
the market steadied AT the close, July
showing a loss of 1@lsc, ct 1890. Cash
wheat was strong and receipts small

points of l39 cars. against IA cars last

Corn shared in the general weakness,
a good deal of long property being mar
keted when the bearish feeling in other
grains became pronounced. The close
was about steady d the decline, July
showing a loss of l2q5sc, at Axe, after
ranging between 442sc and 45c. Trade
was on a fair scale, with considerable
selling by elevator houses against ac-
ceptances. Cash demand was small. with
country offerings showing an increase.
Local receipts were 161 cars, with 10 of

Oats showed the heaviest loss in the

Provisions were weak. Free offerings

ocal tone of the weekly iron trade review,
an authority in that trade. \ downward
tendency in many branches Of the trade
was pointed out The argument that an
abnormal condition in iron is being aban-
doned by yielding prices for more nor
NAL and therefore more stable basis is
coupled with the admission that the
price at which buyers and sellers will
finally come together is still puzzle.
The selling of ST. Paul was believed TO
be for important interests. owing to its
volume The weakness Of Northern Sc
curities on the curb and the selling of
Burlington point bonds were attributed 10
the same cause. But the same confidence
with which the heavy offerings thrown
upon the market were absorbed served to
relieve the fears of wiping out OF mar
gins and shrinkage of collaterals whirn
have aggravated the weakness of the
market for several days past. An I'M
portant factor iE the support Of the mar
ket was the heavy buying for London
account, which is estimated all the way
from 5000 to over 10000 shares for the
day. This made itself effective not only
on the stock market. but in the foreign
exchange market. where the appearance
of bills from the arbitrage brokerage
houses broke the rate some 10 points
and left the feasibility of further gold
exports a matter OF doubt. The reduc-
ton of the Bank OF England discount rate
from to 3i5 was the basis of improved
tone of the English speculation. The
weekly statement OF the Bank of England
with its decrease on old securities NJ
SSS $4,000 shows that the enormous loans
of last week 20 float the Transvaal loan
have practically all been secured 1t
shows also the confidence of the bank
officials that the large supply of foreign
capital now loaned in London will not
be disturbed by allowing the interest
rate TO relax. The likelihood of further
demands upon our own gold supply is
therefore diminished.
Finally the decided reaction IN The cot
ton market served as a restorative to
cover losses by the sohrts in cotton The
market lost much of its animation Oh The
upward course and the days net advances
failed to wipe out entirely yesterday
losses But the demand was well main
tanned at the high level. A feature of
the day was some further wide declines
in the marketing of inactive stocks
The bond market was irregular Total
sales, par value, $3.50 900 United States
