CROP PROSPECT
CAUSE OF ALARM

NEW YORK, June 23.-The
feeling of apprehension over the
crop prospect proved its dominant
influence on stocks again today
and forced into the background
the more cheerful sentiment of
yesterday growing out of the
Frightening prospect for railroad
rate increases and improved in
vestment demand.
The amount of rainfall officially
reported left a dubious feeling re-
garding the reports of abundant
rains, which helped to send stocks
upward yesterday, and stocks
started with a hesitating and un-
certain movement to correspond.
With the price of wheat ruling
2 cents a bushel higher than yes
terday and the advance sustained
during the morning the stock mar
ket's misgivings over the state of
spring wheat in several of the
northwestern states were revived.
The agreement of the Price Cur
rent and the Northwestern Miller
in their reference to the situation
there as Critical for the spring
wheat crop appealed with force
to the prevalent uneasiness.
The Importance attached to the
crop news obscured such happen
ings as the return of ]. P. Morgan.
story from Paris that Morgan
was bringing home a plan for re-
striction of copper production by
joint agreement with European
producers failed to affect coppers.
The additional items cleared up
by congress and the promise thus
held out of an early adjournment
were equally ignored by the mar
ket.
The retention of the Bank of
England discount rate occasioned
some professions of disappoint-
ment from London sources. The
conviction is unabated that the
bank rate will come down follow
ing the meeting of the half yearly
settlements July 1 and a period
of notable ease of money is prom
ised to follow. Foreign exchange
rates here continue to fall. The
placing of finance bills with Lon
don bankers is reported to be fol-
lowing on again.
The easing of the money market
in New York is restricted to the
shorter periods. The passing of
the half yearly dividend on Mime
apolis and st. Louis preferred
weakened the Hawley group and
hurt the general list in the late
trading.
Bonds were firm. Total sales par

Inc Northwestern Miller says: THE spring
wheat crop OF the northwest is conceded 10
