The close was steady net 2 points higher to 3 points lower. The mar ket opened steady at decline of to 6 points in response to disappointing Liv- and renewal of the realizing movement noted yesterday.
 There was continued bull support at the decline, however. offerings were restricted by reports that storm along the gulf coast was working northward, and that heavy rains had fallen at Mississippi points not covered by the early map, and helped by covering, prices gradually worked up to a net gain of some 4 to points. The detailed reports of the weather bureau failed to show any sign of the precipitation claimed by the private advices In the central belt and with some of the private condition reports a point or so better than extreme bulls had antici- pated the market developed a reactionary tendency in the afternoon. with prices easing off to about the closing figures of yesterday under scattering liquida- tion.
 Three private condition reports were is- sued One made the condition 721 per cent, but the other two were higher, one reporting 7S.4 and the other B2 per cent, the tendency on the whole being to somewhat modify the more bullish views regarding the probable showing of the governments figures which when issued at noon on Friday will compare with s1 I last month, S1.2 last year, 72 two years ago and a 10-year average of about 80. 8 per cent.

LITTLE CHANGE
 IN WHEAI PRICES
Market Rallies Sharply From a
 Weak Opening
REACTION FROM THE TOP
Heavy Buying of July Corn Causes Market To Veer Upward and Close Firn-Oats Close Firm
 and Provisions Steady.

Chicago, June 30,-Wheat prices fiuctu- ated nervously over a range of about 1c today and at the close showed little Corn and oats closed firm and provisions about steady
 The wheat market rallied sharply from a weak opening and in the first half hour prices advanced from 1ac to 1c above the low point at the start owing to general demand based chiefly on bullish advices regarding the French crop which 1t Is claimed has been damaged by unfavorable weather. The heavness at the opening was due to the poor response to the Liverpool market to the advance here yes terday. During the day sentiment In the pit veered constantly but was inclined to favor a higher level notwithstanding the almost perfect harvesting weather now prevailing in the winter wheat belt. Fresh reports of injury by drouth to the Argentine crop and buying by northwest ern interests on the theory that the spring crop must deterioate somewhat before harvest time were additional strengthen ing influences. There was quite free profit eenihS iotc HI liic Nhy ShdoOd 1 sOAi- siderable reaction from the top. At the close prices were ssc to 1so lower com- pared with the previous close.
 The feature of trading in the corn pit was the buying of a large quantity Of corn for July delivery by leading pro- vision interest. Total purchases which were said to cover short sales were re- ported to have been more than 100000 bushels. This buying caused decided strength in the market in general follow ing a moderate slump at the start due to favorable weather conditions for the new crop. The close was firm.
 Oats were weak early in the day be- cause of quite general selling brought out by favorable crop reports but cov- ering by shorts caused a rally during the final half hour prompted by the firm ness of corn. The close was firm with prices unchanged to A@ssc higher, com pared with yesterdays final figures.
 Trade in provisions was quiet and the market was rather unsettled. The mar ket opened easy owing to a decline of 5c to 17Oc in live hogs but rallied early in the day on covering by shorts. Prices reacted again in the final half of the day on poor support. At the close prices were 5c higher to 712c lower.

MONEY MARKET IS SOUND

New York, June 30-The last day of the fiscal year not unusually is given over to the arrangements for the annual and semi-annual financial settlements, to the prejudice of the active interest in the stock market. Today was not exception to this rule. Disappointment was felt also over the lack of confirmation for some of the rumors which started the market into activity yesterday. The United States Steel executive committee which was In session when the market closed yesterday, did none of the things which were predicted of it. Some heavy selling of United States Steel came from buyers of yesterday in consequence. The reaction in the stock market was much less violent than the rise of yesterday and the general reactionary tendency was contested by supporting other points in the list.
 The Hartman Pacifcs were influential examples. The advance in these stocks preceded the appearance of the statement of May net earnings in which the ex- pansion of operating cost proved to be the feature only second to the increase in gross earnings. The net increase for this reason was less than half the gross in- crease in the case of Southern Pacific and proved to be merely nominal in the case of Union Pacific. The Northern Pa cfic statement showed growth in oper- ating cost greater than the gain in gross earnings, so that the net returns were actually less than in May last year. For the Rock Island and its principal sub sidlaries the enhanced operating cost modified but little the enlarged gross re- turn, leaving handsome addition to the net earning power for the period.
 It is to be noted of the May earnings statements now coming to hand that they compare with the month last year which suffered the soundest effects of the after depression, the comparison of gross earn ings in succeeding months. showing that a much less drastic cut from the earn ings prevailed. In the net item, however, railroad homogeneous had already se- cured an effective control of expenses by May of last year 50 that net returns begin to show some improvement over preceding months in spite of the calamiti- ous reduction in gross earnings. For this reason the reports of added operating expenses this year has less significance.
 Money markets were undisturbed by the half yearly settlement preparations. The demand on the money market for that purpose was supplimented by the en- agreements of additional sums of gold for export to South America at the end zi of the week. Sub-treasury operations also are withdrawing something from the market. A sentimental effect merely was produced by the publication of a call from the treasury deparement for re- turn of $25,0O0O00 of government deposits since the installments are not payable until July 15 and August 15. More atten- ton was paid to the intimation that an

 One circumstance connected with the making up of yearly financial statements of companies is the inclusion of valua- ton of treasury securities, which is usual ly/ fixed at market prices ruling at the date of the report, or June 30. This fact Is cited as a motive for support or prices on that date in behalf of the in- stitution which oppose showing of assets would be improved in that way.
