SLUMP In PRICES
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, July s.-The lethargy in
speculation was strikingly demonstrated by
the sluggish response today to the highly
important government report of July on
conditions Of the cereal crops. Evidently
this was partly due to the plain prediction
Of the favorable character of the report,
which came for several days from official
state reports and from trustworthy pri-
vate estimates. This gave opportunity for
speculation to anticipate the government
report
From the action both of the stock and
cereal markets after the appearance of the
report it appeared that this preliminary
action had been overdone and the realizing
movement forced prices in a direction con-
trsry to the significance Of crop figures as
q consequence. Thus it happened that
prices declined and those of grain advanced
on q prediction that promised cereal
crop exceeding in value any ever before
produced in the country.
The promised yield of corn rising to
SIel, ia 600 bushels reaches above the
8, 600, 600 900 bushel mark for the first time
in the country's history. This gives assur-
ance of an enormous tonnage to be moved
by the railroads, and in that way is of pri-
mary Importance to holders of railroad Sc
curities. The oats crop also, with an indi-
Gated yield of ee2 s33, 600 bushels, will be
the country's largest record of the crop.
The condition of wheat, while promising
crop considerably below the bmuper
crop, shows the winter wheat so far i'm
proved as to have made up in large part
the earlier deficiency and to have brought
the condition well above the 10 year aver
age. The indicated total of the crop of
SOS, SOC. 600 bushels, estimated on the basis
Of the high prices reported today for cash
wheat of tie new harvest, promises so
profitable a return to the country's asri-
cultural interest as to afford a substantial
guarantee for the country's future pros
perity. founded as that is on the welfare
of the farming classes as starting point.
The great expansion in the production Of
iron and steel and their products, and the
healthy state of that industry indicated by
the hrn prices maintained with this en-
larged output were an impressive exhibit
of the prosperous progress of the coun-
try's great basic industry. deterrent
influence on the market was the mention
given to the direction taken by govern
ment measures against "the holding CON-
psny." This is a financial device upon
which much of the efficiency of great cor
porations is dependent. The fact that at
Washington the senate wiped out of the
tariff bill the exemption accorded to hold
ing companies from the corporation earn
ings tax. while at Louisville the attorney
general in the cabinet formulated pro-
posed measure which would, in his own
language, go far toward their destruction,
was taken rather seriously by financial OBJ
servers.
Prices closed at the lowest and on a de-
scending scale.

The situation in the market for miscellaneous
vegetables stood about the same the pre-
ceding day There was good average demand
for nearly everything on the list. but with sup
plies heavy prices for most descriptions We're In
clined to easness. Tomatoes in large open boxes
remained steady despite increased arrivals, while
summer squash and cucumbers in similar pack
ages went at easy to weak prices. Green peppers
were weak. and heavy arrivals of poor quality
green caused lower market for that arti-
Gle. String beans sold at wide range as to
quality. and southern eggplant was hard TO move
owing to the cheapness of superior quality offer
ings from Stockton. Peas, rhubarb and aspara-
gus were unchanged. with the latter inclined to
drag in the regular trade. Potatoes were in suf-
fci0nt supply and rather easy at about previous
prices. Red onions could be bought at any rea-
sonable figure, while yellow were in good re-
quest at satisfactory prices.
