ever. were strong on report of hot wealth.

close the July delivery showed a net loss
of 11sc, while other options were s4GD1c
higher Corn and oats closed strong and
provisions steady.
Wheat for July delivery was under
heavy selling pressure almost the entire
day, and the low point-$1 .16s4-the price
was &c below the closing figure of the pre-
vious session. Other deliveries, however,
were in good demand, the greater part of
the session and at the top were 1c to 1lsc
above the final quotation of yesterday.
The feature of trading in the July deliv-
cry was the heavy sales by leading
long, which induced considerable selling
by smaller holders. The selling was
prompted by the continued favorable con-
ditions for harvesting in the winter wheat
belt, and the constantly increasing volume
of new wheat being marketed as a result
of the clear weather, present and pros
pecuVe. Declines in the price of cash
grain here and in the southwest also add
ed to bearish sentiment in the July op-
ton.
Reports were received from Minneapolis
claiming that the growing crops in South
Dakota and Minnesota were in danger of
damage by rust owing to hot, sultry
weather. These advices were responsible
for the strength of the future deliveries.

advance of 1a11c in the price of the cash
grain was a bullish factor.
The market closed strong, with prices

Cash interests were moderate sellers of

this profit-taklng. Prices at the close
were sc lower to be higher.

STEEL STOCKS ARE QUIET

New York, July eO-The stock market
today might be said to have been wait
ing on the return of j. P. Morgan, whose
arrival from Europe is expected tomor-
row. The aggressive pushers OF the re-
cent advance in United States Steel were
disturbed by a suggestion that the adj
vance in the dividend had not been de-
termined on and might be considered as
improbable. This was taken to mean
that some of the interests in the prop
erty believe in postponing the contem-
plated increase in the rate of disburse-
ment until the working of orders taken
at the deep cut in prices which went
into effect in February may open the
way to business on a more profitable
basis.
The runor of the intended postpone
ment of the dividend increase was at
tended with the argument that faVor-
able statement of earnings might be re-
lied on to have much sustaining effect
on the price as much as would an actual
increase in the dividend. Holders OF
Steel, above 20, did not view with equa-
nimity the prospect of continuing to hold
the stock on 2 per cent dividend basis.
and even the suggestion of 3 per cent
rate leaves a lack of ASSURANCE amongst
recent speculative buyers. Among these
the assumption has been that j. p. Nor
gan had committed himself to the advo-
caoy of a policy of increased dividends
in connection with the negotiations to
introduce United States Steel to the Paris
bourSe.
The stock which was taken by the
French syndicate in preparation for the
Paris listing has never been officially
accounted for in the later stages of the
interrupted negotiation. but the common
assumption amongst speculative operators
in United States Steel is that it is still
held by the syndicate. The dragging ten
dency of United States Steel proved an
obstacle to the efforts to advance prices
and more than once pulled the market
back after IT had set out for higher
levels. Besides the desire to await Mr..
Morgan's appearance In New York, the
persistence of the labor troubles In the
tin plate and steel car branches of the
industry had proved greater than was
expected and a favorable outcome Tor
the contention of the corporations is not
SO confidently looked for.
Interest attached to the news that the
Union Pacific had sold its 100000 hold
ings for Atchison preferred to a syndi
cate under the direction of its own bank
ers. The inference to be drawn from
this transaction were greater subject of
surmise than the operation itself. No in
formation was forthcoming as to the in
tention of the company in disposing of

the proceeds of this sale. That their
investment was intended was the suppo-
sition prevalent and this opened up an
inviting field of speculative conjecture
Union Pacific sold Is higher than its for
mer record. The special strength of the
Rock Island stock was read as a mark
of the identity of one element active in
the speculative rather than as any sign
of developments bearing on this property.
