expansion of national bank note currency De-

MOVEMENTS OF EXCHANGE IN JULY
The semiannual disbursements and the conse

the foreign exchange market and brought rates

CHICAGO BOARD of TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, July 26.-Weakness bordering on
uehoraization prevailed in the wheat pit during
lne greater part of the day and the market was
subjected 10 great amount of stop loss selling
ana renewed profit taking by minor holders
lnere was fair bulge following an opening de-
cline or a "a 1sc, owing to covering by shorts
prompted by an official forecast for unsettled
weather in sections of the winter wheat belt
TOT tomorrow, but the advance only served to
bring out additional sales resulting I'm still
greater weakness. The primary cause of the
seilng pressure was the extremely liberal re-
ceipts OF new wheat here and at ST. Louis and
hsnsas CITY. Arrivals here today were $50 car
loads, nearly 200 in excess of the official esti-
mate, while at the two southwestern centers
more than ,0O0, 600 bushels were received Talk
OF receipts tomorrow of more than 900 car
ioads was one of the depressing factors during
the last half of the day
During the day July sold between 81 05Is and
Sl-Oe and September between $I.O3Is and
SLO65- Final quotations on July were at
sl;o61a and September at $1.04ss @1.04X.
Rains In Iowa, Missouri Kansas and other
sections of the corn belt removed all anxiety
concerning the new crop and inspired general
selling, which resulted in declines of from 1Isc

MARKET STIRS
SOME AT CLOSE

NEW YORK. July 26.-The stock mar
ket was stagnant today. There was
period of slight activity after the opening
and some stirring toward the close. The
speculative contingent seemed determined
to await the outcome Of the United States
steel dividend meeting, which is not ex-
pected to begin until after the market
has closed tomorrow. The indications of
further delay in the adjustment Of the
tariff controversy at Washington seemed
to have some effect in discouraging any
activity in the market More interest from
a speculative standpoint centers at present
in the corn crop than in any other, and
the helpful weather conditions were a
beneficial factor for values.
Trade news of steel was good and in
oluded an announcement that the contem-
plated advance in prices of wire would be
enforced in August. instead Of at the be-
ginning Of the year. as at first contem-
plated. The raising of prices Of bars and
shapes By the United States steel ccrpo-
ration is expected to occur at the same
time. United States steel failed to ben
eft from this trade news or from a sIg-
gestion which found currency in limited
speculative circle that tomorrow's dividend
might be made at per cent, rs COM
promise between the present rate and the
per cent rate, which some Of the specu-
lative buyers had hoped for. The price
was run down to 6ssz, but met support
at about 10 Amalgamated copper was
unfavorably affected by the renewed de-
cline in copper metal in the London mar
ket and the feaS thus aroused that the
recent recovery in the price had been
manipulative in its origin. There is some
growth in the supply of mercantile paper
as the season advances. It is expected
that large lines of eastern, paper held by
western banks on account OF scanty sup
plies N their own localities will run TO
maturity the demand for crop funds
develops and renewals Of those notes will
come to the eastern banks for application.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, s2,o1s, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.
