developments at Pittsburg. The heavy
damage by the severe storm of last
week. The closing down of iron fur
naces, steel mills and coal mines. The
unrest of labor and the general belief
that there are weak spots still to be
uncovered are more important to the
Wall street mind than the relaxation in
the money market and the very favor
able crop report showing an indicated
yield of 2,3O7 100000 bushels of corn.

ket until assured that there is no other

pulative advance at the present time
