WHEAT. DECLINES
 RATHER SHARPLY Market Is Weak All Day and
 Trade Is Light
CROP IS MOVING FREELY
Corn Is Weak Under Favorable Crop Reports and Slack Demand and Closes Lower-Oats Closed
 Weak, Provisions Firm.

Chicago, July 1.-Wheat prices de- clined more than 1 cent today owing to general selling based on constantly increasing movement of new wh eat. At the close the loss was from 5s O 1c. provisions were firm.
 The wheat market was weak all day and the volume of trade was small. Favorable weather conditions for har- vesting the fall sown crop and for the rapid growth of the spring crop and d free movement of the new crop in the southwest were the chief causes for the bearish sentiment that prevailed during the greater part of the session.
 Commission houses here received much more liberal offers from the country and predicted heavy purchases providing weather conditions continue favorable for the movement.
 Foreign crop news was quite bullish but the effect of this was offset by al- most total absence of foreign de- mand. Crop reports from the south west were again extremely optimistic. The Oklahoma crop report showed an improvement of 11.7 points in the con- dition of the crop of that state during June and private reports indicated that the yield of winter wheat will be larg- CT than previously estimated.
 The July delivery displayed relatively more grmness than the deferred months, and ranged between S1.15 and $1.16A. The market closed weak, with prices about Ac above the low point of the day July being at $1.15A.
 Corn was weak all day with the ex- ception of brief period at the start. when slight frmness was manifested owing to buying of the July delivery by shorts. Extremely favorable crop reports and a slack demand for the cash grain were the principal factors. A decline of F Q1c in the price of cash corn, due partly to strike of elevator men, was also bearish in- fluence. The greatest selling pressure was on the July delivery. which sold off from 71%c to 71%@7OA. The mar ket closed weak, with prices A&Ac to % O 7sc below yesterdays final fig ures
 Profit taking based on the excellent condition of the growing crop caused weakness in the oats market. A local crop expert, in a report given out to- day, estimated the total yield at 1,100.- 000,000 bushels. This brought out con- siderable selling by pit traders. The market closed weak with prices 1a c to % Q Nc lower than the previous close.
 Provisions were firm all day owing to buying brought out by light de- liveries on July contracts. and by small receipts of live hogs at all west ern packing centers. Prices at the close were a shade lower to 15c high CT, compared with yesterdays final figures.
 Leading futures ranged as follows.

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES HIGHER Advance Is Made Early But
 Reaction Follows CROP REPORTS BULLISH Realizing Is Heavy After the Opening and Prices Ease Off From the
 Top, But Offerings Are
 Well Absorbed.
CROP REPORTS BULLISH

New York, July 1.-There was very sharp early advance in the cotton market today, with the nearer months making new high records for the season, but sub sequent fluctuations were irregular, part of the gain was lost and the close was steady at a net advance of to 10 points. The opening was firm at an ad vance of to 14 points and the market sold IA to 17 points net higher during the early trading on active covering, bull support and fresh buying for long ac- count which was undoubtedly due to a more bullish private crop report than ex- pected, higher cables, bullish spot talk and prospects for local rains in eastern and central sections of the belt, where dry weather Is supposed to be needed.
 Realizing was very heavy at the ad- vance and prices eased off a few points but offerings were very well absorbed during the entire day and the leading bulls appeared to have great confidence in their position. The close was at prac- tlcally the low point of the day. The private condition report mentioned above made the average condition 76.S per cent. against the report by the same authority last month of S2. per cent, thus suggest ing a deterioration of some 5 points for the month
 Receipts at the ports today 4435 bales, against 4276 last week and 1887 last year. For the week 30, 900 bales, against 33, 505 last week and 57,236 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans SPA bales against 296 last year.

SMALL GAINS IN
 STOCK MARKET Summer 0uIlnesS Again Per- yades Trading Operations FLUCTUATIONS ARE FEW
Money Settlements for the Month of June and the Announcement of Plans for Railroad Organi-
 ration Affect Market.

New York, July IA further shrinkage in the volume of dealings in stocks to- day reflected the seasonable dullness of the summer hot spell. Prices received very little impetus and the fluctuations were feeble and inconstant. Besides the interest centered in the money settlements in progress there was a large diversion of attention to the gradually emitted facts of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western plan, involving a recasting of the organization to conform to the su
 preme court decision In the commodities clause cases and of the distribution of large special company and stock divi- dends. The order of publication of defi- nite acts and decisions to carry out the plan led to great confusion in estimating it's significance and whetted curiosity and excitement to a high degree. Contrary to many previous reports there Is no dis appropriation of the mining properties by the railroad company involved in the plan. The 50 per cent special dividend Is a cash dividend out of accumulated sur plus earnings and the 15 per cent stock dividend respects stocks of subsidy rail road companies merged or bonds regis tered. The coal company adjunct incor- porated in New Jersey is merely a selling company, to which the railroad company contracts to sell the coal at the mines in Pennsylvania The stock of this company is offered to the stoci<oders of the rail- road companies, but it is not to be held by the railroad as a corporation The railroad company. therefore. has not di- vested itself of any property heretofore held. As to the effect of the contract with the new coal sales company on the earnings of the railroad company no au- thorized estimates are offered, but the operations to be performed by the new company are expected to yield profit to its stockholders. Quotations for the stock of the new coal company were estab- lished in the curb market at par, the subscription price to Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western stockholders.
 Early in the day there were sales of the-s stock for cash at 6S0. The stock sold at that price on April p of this year, but never higher. The regular quarterly dividend of 215 per cent came off today and when the stock sold ex-dividend at 649 the discrepancy with the cash price brought out the information that the spe- cial disbursements announced only today were payable to stockholders of record today Only buyers of the stock for cash today, therefore, would be entitled to the extra dividends. The closing quotation was 61O bid 6S0 asked. The trading in the stock market in general was almost staenant and news was of but little ef- feet The Lackawanna announcement was
