broken throughout North Dakota, the

According to an accepted authority.
the cool temperature that overspread the
wheat fields OF North Dakota this morn
Ing removed the strain from the crop.
In that state, which furnishes generally
such a large proportion of the total yield.
the need had been not SO much for rain
as for relief from heat. Developments
today were regarded by many traders as

a good deal OF weight was given to q
theory that the market had been heavily
overbought. Country onering. too, was

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June "a, 1911.
The stock market got q smash in the
face when the United States Senate re-
aligned itself on the tariff question and
brought the country face to face with the
possibility Of reduction In several i'm
portant schedules before the adjournment
of the present special session Of Congress.
The decision of the United States cir
cult court at Wilmington ordering the
dissolution of the Dupont powder trust
was another smash. and to make matters
still worse the crop experts kept sending
in bad reports from many parts Of the
west and northwest, as well as scattering
bulletins OF the same tenor from the
mighty southwest.
Altogether 1t was q bad week for the
bulls. although they had the backing of
unlimited cash, which banks and trust
companies were willing to loan on good
securities to finance the securities situa-
ton. Cheap and abundant money have
been holding the market steady in the
face Of disQuieting developments in many
directions, but now these same banks are
beginning to draw in their horns and to
show symptoms Of what is vulgarly
known as cold feet The great banking
combinations do not altogether like the
looks OF things. The old heads know
what 1t is to go through q period OF acute
tariff agitation, and do not have to be
told what that sort of an experience
means to the business community. The
younger generation Of spectators only

preciate their Importance.

Crop Outlook Improved.

News of the day that was not without
material bearing on the securities market
was that the crop outlook was impr owed
and likely to get better In the course Of
the next few weeks.
London came out Of its double holiday
too late to take part in the movement
following the merger decision, but that
center may be expected to take more than
passing interest in the matter, by rea-
son of its large holdings In the Hartman
companies.
The Bank Of England statement. de-
layed beyond its usual time because OF
