GRAIN BULLS STAMPED

Deluge Of Wheat Caused a Retreat
After Unloading All Market

CHICAGO. III, July 2S.-The move
ment of wheat IS to increase. This was
too much for the bulls TO overcome and
they laid down after disposing Of all
the wheat that they could dispose of.
Corn and oats longs We're also in po-
sition where they We're unable to dictate
the course of prices and they We're forced
TO a rear position in the fight on change.
Professionals in the provision market
had but few orders either way. and as
they were not inclined 10 do much that
market was as duh as the proverbial
meat AK
Closing prices for the day showed
losses of 2sa2sc fer wheat. 5s47sc for
corn, sale for oats, and 25aG1oc for hog
products.
Cash sales at the seaboaTd were five
loads wheat, two loads corn and 100000
bushels oats.
At Chicago 1900 bushels wheat. no.
600 bushels corn and 1900 bushels oats.

.HARRIMAN'S DENIAL
AMPLY CORROBORATED
St. Paul Not a Plum That lie
Wants to Pick just
Yet.

NEW YORK, July -S--0iv. Harriman's
sweeping denial Of the reported designs
OF the Union Pacific on the ST. Paul
follows a statement Of exactly the same
tenor made by a high officer OF the St
Paul on Thursday. The latter declared
that il was not true that control or the
road had changed hands, or that the 81
Paul even contemplated the abandon
ment OF IT'S Pacihc coast extension.
The conditions of St Paul ownership
are particularly adaptable 10 the pur-
poses of those who circulate deal" ru-
mors. II would be idle for even the
Hartman interests TO attempt 10 buy
control Of the St. Paul IN the open mar
keL, but If three men should be willing
control might be passed across TIE table
at luncheon. For this same reason IL
is always possible for the controlling
interests IN the company 20 be sure that
no one else has bought into il over their
heads.
Perhaps the germ from which the
Union Pacifc-St. Paul story started Is
the fact that in a few places on the
route to the coast the St. Paul has ar
ranged for trackage rights on short
stretches Of Union Pacific rails TIE
purpose Of these has been less TO save
construction than To avoid mutually
troublesome crossings and recrossmgs
OF tracks. The total of such trackaga
arrangements win form an insignificant
fraction of the whole distance.

NEW YORK. July 2s-The cotton
