a critical point in the upward move ment The caution with which the price approached that figure, the enormous sales brought out as soon as 1t had reached it. and the timidity now believed to have been fefgned with which the bulls retreated in face of this flood of selling, made the bears bold in selling short on a large scale in the neighbor- hood of that figure When the stock forged upward to above that figure in the first few minutes today and later ex- tended its rise to above n, the uncov- cred short interest, which had been thus encouraged, was made to serve the pur- pose of the bulls in helping on the ad- vance by forced purchases. All this was accepted as a demonstration Of consum- mate stock market generalship on the part of the leaders of the stock. This consideration made as much impression on the speculative sentiment regarding the stock as the more substantial trade and financial considerations. The mar ket otherwise does not require extended notice.
 The expiration of the period for ex- change of Southern Pacific preferred into common stock revived the rumor of an exchange of two shares of Union Pacific preferred for one of the common stock and accounted for the fresh spurt in the preferred stock. The metal group was most closely affected in sympathy with United States Steel.
 The money market was appreciably, but slightly, affected by the payments being made to the sub-treasuy on the recall of government deposits and by further engagements of gold for ship ment to South America.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value, $3634, ,OO0. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

STEEL ADVANCES TO 71

New York, July 15.-United States Steel practically made the stock market to- day. large proportion of the total dealings was in that one stock and such activity and strength as there were in other stocks were almost wholly in sym pathy with the movements with it. There was implicit information from wholly trustworthy sources of the healthy prog ress of the iron and steel trade. While this news buttressed United States Steel and gave material aid to the conductors of the stock market campaign in this stock, the price movement was a tri- umph of adroit and resourceful market management as well. All the accredited organs of the steel trade spoke without reserve of the more cheerful tone that pervaded the whole trade and the de- tails of conditions were convincing on this point. Makers are refraining from accepting orders far ahead at present prices and increased prices are demand ed for early deliveries on old orders. The advance in the price of bars, plates and shapes by some of the independent steel companies is believed to presage an advance by the principal producers. The pig iron output of the United States Steel corporation was pronounced to be on an unprecedented scale. Estimates were current of the probable showing of earnings of the corporation for the second quarter of the year, which will be announced at the meeting of direc- tors on the last Tuesday of the present month. Preliminary estimates on this point have usually proved nearly accu- rate and the flattering intimations cur rent today were of material influence fin strengthening the stocks.
 The departure of J. P. Morgan from England yesterday on his return for New York was used with great effect by the bulls on the stock notwithstand- ing the fprotestations of MT. Morgan's associates that his return at this time was in accordance with previous plans. Professional operators in stocks assert ed that a return on a ship not hitherto known as one of Mr. Morgan's favorites must be regarded as indicating some urgency in the voyage.
 The. exercise of MT Morgan's influence in favor of a liberal dividend policy with regard to United States Steel on pre- vious occasions was pointed out It was suggested also that the terms of the proposed listing of United States Steel on the Paris bourse and the price for the stock when French bankers were interested in that stock warranted a sup position of early increase in the divi- dend of the stock.
 On the purely professional side dem pnstration was aroused by the skill with which the stock has been handled in the neighborhood of 70, which apparently was

SHARP BREAK IN
 WHEAT MARKET After Advancing to New High Records Prices Tumble DECLINE IS SEVEN CENTS Increased Sales By Country Dealers Make Corn Weak and Close Is
 Lower-Oats Close Weak
 and Provisions Firm.
DECLINE IS SEVEN CENTS

Chicago, July 15.-Wheat for July de- livery performed a lofty tumbling act on the board of trade today, first advancing Pc above the high record mark for the season, established on the preceding ses- sion, and then dropping nearly 7c. The best mark reached today was s1.29 At the close the price was ssd3Ac below the final figures of the previous day. Corn and oats were weak but provisions were firm.
 The setting of the new high mark for July wheat was accomplished on initial transactions, opening quotations ranging from s1.271z to s1.29. A number of beated shorts were anxious bidders at the start and this caused the fresh advance. Dis tant deliveries, however, were not disposed to follow the lead of the current month and opened weak at declines of shade to AQssc.
 The heaviness of the deferred months was due to more favorable weather con- ditions in the west and southwest, the weather map showing no rain except d few scattered showers. The forecast also was for continuance of generally clear weather.
 The demand for the July option was satisfied early in the day and when it oe- came evident that some of the big holders were taking profits there was consider able realizing by smaller longs. This re- suited in a steady falling off in prices. As trading progressed bearish sentiment was augmented by a severe slump in the nf vxyhn h, kets, particularly at St. Louis, where a break of 7c to Sc was recorded The weak ness of the cash grain in the southwest was due to increased arrivals of new wheat.
 The low point for July-$1 2214-was reached late in the day and although the price rallied more than 1c sentiment in the pit was decidedly bearish at the close, with July at $1 231A. September closed 17s@2c below yesterday.
 Increased sales by country dealers, slack shipping demand from the east and favor able crop reports prompted persistent sell ing of corn, which resulted in a weak market throughout the entire day. Dur ing the day July sold between 71A@727sc The market closed weak with prices Sc to BQ1c below the previous close with July at n9sc.
 Resuming of harvest operations in Illi- nois and Iowa, owing to improved wealth CT conditions, inspired free selling of oats throughout the entire section and caused considerable weakness.
 decline of 1c in the price of cash grain helped to depress the option. The market closed weak with prices & to at @Bc lower.
 Provisions were firm all day because of a 10c advance in live hogs. Local pack CTS and shorts were the best buyers. Prices at the close were 10c lower to Inc higher.
