New York. July 3.--Last year the

is coincidence that the last day of
the half year saw the lowest prices for
stocks at the New York Stock Ex
change since early in 1908, when the
revival from the depression of 1907
was first setting in.
The responsibility for the disap-
pointment of the present year may be
traced to the excuses of last year in
more than one direction The more
sober sense OF the financial commun-
ity deprecated the too rapid Imitation
of security prices. The regeneration
was too rapid to prove sound and
lasting. The stimulated movement in
stocks was reflected as 1t was designed
to be---in feverish revival Of demand
for various commodities. without Civ

savings or for the correction of weak
nesses left by the crisis of 1907. In

New York. July 3.-The cotton mills
of the country have taken advantage

crop shortage and slow demand for
merchandise are the reasons.

HOT, DRY WEATHER
SENDS PRICES UP
Wheat Advances Sharply on Receipt of News
From Northwest-Later Weakens on
Mndoro+o al
Moderate Rainfall.

New York, July 3.-There was a
strong rising tendency in domestic
wheat markets early in the week. AT
small, hut prices advanced sharply.
especially on the distant or new crop
contracts, in the Northwest, where
sensational upturn occurred. This Gre
ated little surprise. as buying was
almost wholly stimulated by unfavor
able weather and crop prospects in
spring wheat territory. Practically no
rain had fallen, excepting in parts OF
the southern half of the belt. while
the temperature continued extremely
high, and consequently even the most
conservative members of the trade
We're willing to admit that important
deterioration must have taken place.
As to Weather REPORTS.
No astonishment was Shown when
further reduced crop estimates began
to arrive. Advices from numerous re-
liable sources suggest that many fields
are in such poor shape that they can
normal yield, and hence 1t is feared
that the total of spring wheat VIII
not reach 250O00,f00 bushels whi/h
represents a loss of over 40,OOO.OOC
bushels. compared with last wear and
over 60,000,000 bushels compared with
the June report of the Department OF
agriculture, as interpreted by thu anti
quated method, whereas, according &c
the new method, the loss amounts to
approximately 3O.0oO,OOO bushels. This
means that the grand total Of spring
and winter will not exceed 675,000, 600
bushels, which viii leave decidedly
nlcagre surplus for export. as we re-
uuire more than 60O00O,00O bushels
for seed and home consumption. OF
course, we Will carry some of the old
crop over, but that should be done
every year, with our enormous popu-
lation.
1t is certainly exceedingly fortunate

wise prices might have gone TO a re-
markably high level. The advancing
tendency was led frequently by Win

startling way, indicating that traders
there, as well as IN our own territory
had at last awakened to the gravity
OF the sitiia ton. Most of the foreign
advices have been colorless, and hence
We're ignored. Indeed. dealers have be-

why the Market Turned.
Late in the week there was radical
change in the temper of the market,
buoyancy being succeeded by weak
ness, although In the late trading
partial recovery occurred The change
was attributed largely to longs realiz-
ing and bear pressure, prompted by
reports that the GREG had been greatly
more especially in South Dakota and
Southern Minnesota. While 1t was
agreed that the crop would be mate
rally smaller than a year ago. 1t was
also asserted that copious rains would
be highly beneficial. The downward
tendency was checked temporarily by
SHOWS report. in which he estimated
tire spring wheat crop at 217n0o,000
bushels, and winter at 3S6, 900 a
grand total of 603O00,0o0 bushels. or
more than 1oo,ooo,ooO bushels less. than
last year.
These figures show such great dam
