RESISTANCE POWER SHOWN BY STOCKS Unfavorable Conditions Not
 Harmful HEAT WAVE BROKEN Uneasiness Concerning Grain Party Dispelled By Rains ard Falling TemperaturNCoston Sem
 timent Improves
HEAT WAVE BROKEN

New York. July s-Lsst week saw the developments Of some anfsyorsole condi- tions for stocks, but the market showed a power of resistance which was taken to indicate confidence in independent secur- ity holders. Allowance must be made for the existence of a persistent short inter- est market in estimating the significance of its power of resilency. The factors that were counted unfavorahle also were modified by the progress of events. This was pt rticularly the rase with crop news. Torrid temperature of the middle of the week gave rise to real anxiety for grain crops and saw an unusual jump in quotations, especially for corn. Rains and a fall in temperature on Thursday caused quick shifting of sentiment as it was believed that the corn crop still was at a stage where moisture might compen- sate for anw harm done. The dry weather also helped to the final making of the winter wheat crop.
 Sentiment regarding the cotton crop con- tinued to improve, the government esti- mate on Monday still holding a promise of a record crop of 145GO,0o0 bales. With the critical period still to come for cot ton. corn and spring wheat, it is assumed that the stock market will remain sen sitiye to weather conditions affecting these crops
 Foreign affairs were also of influence in speculative markets, emphasis being laid on fears of complications in Morocco and Montenegro. Germany's stand in Mo- rocco apparently induced some large re- call of credits from Berlin to Paris bankers.
 Payments for Panama bonds continued last week, diverting large sums to the sub-treasury and marking actual reduc- tion of bank cash for the replenishment of the treasury working balance. Many rates, nevertheless, reacted after the first of the month. Re-investment demand for bonds proved moderate and the market was supposed to be affected somewhat by a return of the flow of foreign subscrip- tions to the New York money market. An award to anthracite shippers of a rebate for an overcharge running for several years, a new move in the suit against the coalers for violation alleged under the commodities clause and the potency claimed for the antitrust law under the new interpretations by the attorney gen. eral came in for discussion. The inter- national steel conference at Brussels and favorable steel trade advices were helpful to United States Steel and railroad equip ment stocks.

From the Washington Post &

 "Milton's Paradise Lost" he said. Drought it's author $25 and Defoe got less than $25 for 'Crusoe,' but know novelists whose trash sells in editions of six figures, and whose incomes per init them to keep yachts, motor cars and even aeroplanes.

Pure or Impure.

IL appears that people do not
care much for cleo wien trey can
get butter at reasonable price.
The Chicago output of butieriI e
decreased about 80 per cent. the
first three months this year COM
pared with last. The butter price.
however. is steadily on the rise
now by reason of decreased milk
supplies. This condition prevails
from the mountains to the eastern
coast. California seems to be ex-
empt. as it is related that for the
first time in its history the Golden
Gate State has butter to sell.
Prices have been advancing at FL
gin. and scorched pastures and
semi-barren meadows do not hold
immediate hope of check in this
upward flight. In the East it is
estimated that 90 to 10 per cent. OF
the years yield of milk has al
ready goneto the factory. leaving
the union of natural shortage
and scant forage for the next half
year. The output of creameries
and cheese factories was below the
average for the first six months OF
the year, hence the outlook is for
materially lesseDed make. The
prospect for the maker Of imita-
ton butter IS therefore bright, as
prices for the real article are seem
irgly fOreordained by natural con-
jitions to another upward flight.
