STOCK MARKET IS EASING DOWNWARD Too Much Political Activity Takes Away Interest CROP PROSPECTS ARE GOOD So Far As Crops Have An Influence On the Stock Market It Is for Bet

CROP PROSPECTS ARE GOOD

New York, June 15.-Wtih the delegates assembling at Chicago for the opening tomorrow of the republican national con vention, attention today centered largely on political matters. The chief effect was to make operators disincined to enter on market commitments at this time. Much of the discussion in Wall street turned on the prospective form of the platform, especially such blanks as may have to deal with capital and labor. Some atteu- tion was given to suggestions of possible surprises in the results of the conven- tion The total of the days sales shows lapse again into something like the dullness that prevailed early last week.
 The vast importance attached to the outcome of the years crops is conspicu- ously seen in the weekly interviews with railroad officials. This weeks views on the subject from that source were hope ful, with the notable exception of Chair man Hill of the Great Northern board of who promulgated from Washington a view hat the crop prospect held out sn se of bringing into service the freight now lying idle in the United States. Traffic officials generally, while speaking confidentlally of the crop prom ise had no improvement to report in the tonnage movement, and gave pre- diction of immediate change In this 2 spect.
 Confidence in the crop outturn did not seem to be impaired by the reports of of need of warmth and sunshine in the Southwest where flood damage to nrOu- erty also was mentioned. Another item bearing on railroad traffic was the mo- tice of the withdrawal of grain carry ing freight steamers from the New York service by the White Star line, although claims of discrimination in railroad freight rates against New York formed factor in this action
 Money continued to work easier in New 2 York in response to the addition to re- serves shown by Saturdays bank state ment the cessation of gold outflow and continued gain of cash by the banks on subtreasury operations. Notwithstanding the further aceumulations in bank re- serves the investment demand for bonds 'eis reported less, and the bond market is : showing the effect of the large additions to supply through recent new issues. The sentimental effect of other issues yet to come also is felt.
 Discount rates receded in London but were inclined to harden at continental money centers.
 Paris again took all the weekly gold supply available in the London market in spite of volume of gold holdings by

There is some trouble in finding just
what the document is about, but we
gather that in substance it names May

Water to Cost More Than Wine.

In its attempt to get water supply
pure enough for drinking purposes
and sufficient in quantity for all its
other needs. the city of New York is
finding itself up against an enormous
financial problem: If the cost of the
project keeps on increasing common
drinking water may become more ex-
pcnsive than champagne in that city
When the first plans were made it was
figured that the cost of bringing water
from the Catskill to the metropolis

one which the city could well afford
if the ends sought for were attained
The cost has already passed the $780,
600, 900 mark, almost 10 times the origi-
nal estimates, and there is no end in
sight. 1t is not doubted that the
project will far exceed the cost of the
Panama canal or enough money tC
United States from one shore to the
other.
