PANIC PREVAILS AMONG BEARS IN WHEAT AND SLUGGISH.
 NESS RESULTS
COPPER IS A SHADE HIGHER
STEEL TRADE ADVICES CONSID. FRED FAVORABLE FOR
 MARKET

NEW YORK, July 14.-Operators were confirmed in their inclination to refrain from dealing in consequence of the indeeisive movement of the mar ket for several days past, influences halting speculative movement found in news from crop regions.
 Today's panic among the bears in the wheat pit was sufficient to deter spectators from committing them selves unduly.
 Steel trade adviees are highly favor able. An attempt was made to use the sudden departure of J. P. Morgan for England for New York as presage of favorable developments coming from the quarterly meeting of the United States Steel directors to be held on the last Tuesday in the month.
 Copper news is less satisfactory, prices of metal being reduced again in New York metal exchange, an early fall in London being followed by a recovery without the rallyipg of cop. per and industrials in the London stock market.
 Atchison held firm. The feature of the money market was the active de- mand for over the year maturity, six months loans being done at 3-S per cent. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,664,O United States bonds were unchanged on call.

THE STOCK MARKET

BOSTON, July l4.-1Tbe greater part of the copper list showed liquida- ton today. There is some indication of better, feeling, however, which should be q preliminary warning of better times. The floating supply of North Butte seems to be entirely eX- hausted, and there was no liquidation of the stock today, with the exception of a few selling orders at the open ing. There was no sale between 4S and 49 and very little stock came out between 49 and 30. Bear traders made small raid on Amalgamated, but the closing prices were the best for the day. Metal brokers report consid- erable demand for copper, August de- livery, and it looks now that it would be matter of only few days before the price advanced for September de- livery. With steel mills running 90 per cent of their capacity, it is proba- ble that the consumption of copper will increase, and we believe on this basis that a turn will soon take place in this sagging market.

HovAL A. SMITH LOOKS OVER NEW STRIKES PLEASED
 WITH PROSPECTS.
EXTENT 0F VEIN NOT KNOWN
DRIFTING AND PROSECUTING BEING PUSHED IN LIVE
 OAK MINE

With the Sullivan shaft on the Cor doya property in quartz porphyry and schist showing good per centage of copper at depth of 205 feet, the prospects of this property, which has been the subject of much speculation on the part of investors, are very bright, according to Hoval A. Smith, heavy stockholder in the company, who inspected the property yesterday.
 According to Mir. Smith, it is diff cult to determine as yet, just what the outcome of this strike will be, as the bottom of the shaft is in earth of such a mucky consistency that its true na- ture is difficult to determine.
 Nevertheless the schist is showing 21a per cent coper, wn;ch is consider ed highly satisfactory tot he promoters of the company.
 Whether or not the ore body on the Miami group, but 300 feet to the north, has been encountered, has not been learned definitely by MT. Smith as yet. In speaking of the matter to the Silver Belt last night, he said that the prospects were most encouraging, inasmuch as the shaft was in ten feet of mineralized schist at the present time, with all indications pointing to the fact that the main ore body would be encountered within the next few days.
 Considering the fact that Mir. Smith is conservative man, who does not readily jump at conclusions, develop ments at the Cordova property will be eagerly watched until further develop ments determine the presence of the much looked for ore body.
 On the Live Oak, the vertical shaft, and the tunnel which will connect with the drift from that shaft, the work is progressing in very satisfactory man neT
 Only about 135 feet of drifting re- mains to be done before the drift and tunnel will connect, opening up large area. This work is being rushed to completion and it is probable that it will be finished within the next few weeks.
 The drift is now in highly silicious capping, indicating the presence of an ore body within short distance.
 From the development work which has already been done on this property, it is evident that the ore body follows the contour of the hill.
 When the drift and tunnel have been connected, the work of drifting and cross cutting to determine the size of the ore body will be taken up, as well as that of sinking the Live Oak yer

DAYS EVENTS IN THE PIT

CHICAGO, July H.-Wheat for July delivery advanced ' cents after a stormy session of the board of trade today, establishing a new high record mark for the season, and giving prom. ise of repetition of the recent "deal' headed by James A. Patten and col. leagues.
 The top mark reached was l27. com. pared with l20, the closing figure yes terday. The immediate cause of the advance was the additional damage in wheat growing sections. Thunderstorms predicted over wide area through out the central and western states also aided the panic movement.
 A large "sleeping" short interest existed for some time in the July op. tion, and the action of the market in. dieated that many traders had awaken. cd to the serious aspect of the situa- tiOn.
 Leading warehouse men and profes. sional traders are said to be the prin- cipal shorts. The elevator men, weeks ago, bought wheat in the field and "hedged" against their purchases by selling in this market.
 There is practically no wheat suita. ble for delivery on contracts, and what little there is belongs to the Pat ten interests. Patten succeeded in merchandising the grain delivered to him during the closing days of the May corner and now demands wheat sold to him for this month E delivery.
 When the shorts went to him with offers of settlement, they claimed they were told to buy the grain in the pit. The attempt to carry out this line of action was the cause of the cent bulge.
 Twice the pit was thrown into a turmoil, first when cents was added to the price of the July delivery during the first half hour of trading, and again near the close when two more points were added. The demand was so fierce at the start. that the price be- tween sales jumped l-4 to l cent at q leap.
 A wild shout arose when the price touched l25, and predictions were free ly made that l50 would be reached

tical shaft. Crosscuts will be made on the 300 and 500 levels.
 'The outcome of the development work on the Live Oak and Cordova properties, particularly the latter, is of vast importance to the Globe dis trict," said Hoval A. Smith to the Silver Belt last night.
 ''lf the Sullivan shaft on the Cor dova encounters the Miami ore body, it will mean the presence of millions of tons of additional coper bearing ore in that district and the importance of such strike can hardly be over estimated.
 "The indications on this property, as well as ihe Live Oak are very prom. ising and within the next two weeks, the work now in progress should result in important developments.'

CHICAGO, July 4.-Wheat for July advanced today to l27, new high record for the season and a gain of cents over the previous close. Sen sational advance in July delivery kept the wheat pit in furry of excitement throughout the session, although the actual amount of trading was not large. July closed at 126 5-s to 126 3-4.
 An advance of more than one cent in the price of July delivery was the feature of the trading in corn. At the close, prices were Is higher to l.4 lower, as compared with the previous close.
