Crop Report

New York, July 9--Prices of stocks
advanced today in the face of tht
showing of the government report or
spring wheat The stock market thus
demonstrated the resisting power
which it has developed by the course

The movement of prices of wheat
today left no room for doubt that tne
speculation mad failed to appraise
adequately the amount of damage dis
closed by the government report on
spring wheat. The compromising adj
vantage of the good promise of win
ter wheat and the news today of
showers in the drouth stricken terri
tory did not prevent sensational adj
vances in the price of the cereal.
The subject had lost it's power
however, to induce effective liquida-
ton of stocks. Outside the wheat
market the stock market had the
corn crop promise as an additional
factor of amelioration to consider
