Such incidents as today's panic among the
bears in wheat are sufficient, however, TO
deter spectators from committing themselves
unduly with q period to face during which

fright Of the wheat bears had rs basis the
reports of rains in the winter wheat region,
which might prejudice the early delivery of
the crop being harvested and so crowd the
shorts in July, in which option the furry
conferred.
In the corn market, however, the good
crop news served to force the price lower.

again, but all the news concerning the
stocks consisted in mysterious illusions to
favorable developments which remained
vaguely defined.
Steel trade advices were highly favorable
and an attempt was made TO use the sudden
departure Of J. Rerpont Morgan from Eng
land for New York as a presage Of favorable
developments at the coming quarterly meet

be held on the last Tuesday of the month.
