people the current prices for cotton seem
very high, in view of the crop prospect
of the season, so far as it is at present
advanced.
Steel Shares Laggard.
Although the United States Steel shares
advanced to-day, with the rest of the
market, they were laggards; and this
was visibly due to the dispatches printed
in many of the morning newspapers ema-
mating from Washington sources, and
pretending to state as a centainty that
the government had decided to bring a
civil or criminal action or both against
the United States Steel Corporation.
These statements were absurd on their
face, and received an authoritative, al
though semi-official, denial from the pro-
per authorities in Washington late this
afternoon. Every one knows that the
head of the bureau of corporations, has
for the last few years been making an
elaborate investigation of the United
States Steel Corporation, and Of the steel
industry of the United States, and also
that the United States Attorney Cen
erals office has likewise been looking
over the entire matter.
No decision either for or against the
steel corporation has been arrived at, and
it is manifest that none such will be
arrived at for many weeks or perhaps
many months to come. The reports that
were in circulation to-day were general
Iy accepted in the financial district as
being part and parcel only of the cam
paign against the steel corporation, now
being conducted by various spectators
for the fall, among them being one of the
most notorious blackmailers the country
has ever seen.
The advance summaries OF tron trade
conditions, furnished this afternoon by
the Iron Age and Iron Trade Review,
although telling of the necessary halt
that has been caused in the trade by the
announcement OF price reductions,w were yet
altogether dismal reading. Those people
who remember the occurrences in the
iron and steel industry after the famous
reduction in prices in 1909, drew an inter-
esting parallel to-day between the state
of affairs then witnessed and that which
is now presented.

Her Matrimonial III Luck.
TT 18th Street Northwest

From the Saturday Evening Post.
A vaudeville woman in New York who
had had several matrimonial experiences
married for the fifth or sixth time This
time she took a man in her own pro-
fession. Not long after the wedding.
when the happy. pair settled in a theat-
rical boarding house, the wife did not
get home one Sunday night until after
her husband had arrived
The husband was sitting in the room,
poring over the comic supplement Of a
Sunday newspaper. His wife gave him
loving greeting. He did not respond.
but continued his Investigations os the
comic pictures.
She spoke again-and he remained ST.
lent absorbed in his comic supplement.
She looked at him disgustedly.
Don't play in the worst luck with
my husbands she exclaimed. This
time i've married bookworm."

NEWS OF WALL STREET
Others Up, but Steel Fails to Respond.
Crop Report Is Due To-day.

New York, June THE stock market,
after remaining quiescent FOR the greater
portion of two stock exchange sessions,
during which period it presented renewed
indications Of pronounced underlying
strength, again advanced to-day in vigor-
Gus fashion. The upward movement was
in great part concentrated in the rail-
road stocks, particularly the highest
grade of these stocks, and this feature
impaired strength to the idea that the
current rise is a natural, unforced, and
indeed almost inevitable character.
The two leaders Of the days stock
market were, in fact, the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific shares, stocks
which are held TO larger extent for IN
vestment than any other of the active
railway issues. Both these stocks are
per cent dividend payers, and beyond any
question have been selling for a long
time below their proper value, if the cur
rent dividend yield upon them could be
said to be assured.
The trying experiences of the last year
have already answered this question in
very considerable degree; but now opens
a crop prospect in the Northwest and
for that matter, in the entire Western
part of the country, brighter than any
that has been seen before in the present
decade. 1t is doubtless fair to urge that
this crop prospect is by no means yet
assured.
Shows ReinVestment.
The history Of Wall street, however,
shows that such buying of stocks Of this
class as was witnessed to-day does not
ordinarily proceed from mere spectators
and, on the contrary, almost certainly
indicates a reinvestment by financial in
terests of the first rank. These people
individually are of the opinion that great
harvests in the year 1911 have already
progressed a long way toward safety.
More light will, of course, be thrown
upon this subject by the government s
June crop report, to be made public to-
morrow afternoon. The general idea in
Wall street and in the grain trade is
that the figures will show that some de-
terioration occurred during the month of
May in winter wheat owing to hot
weather in the Southwest, but that this
will be offset by a very high condition
of spring wheat. The spring wheat con-
dition may not, perhaps reach the ele-
waited figure of 90, which is set for it by
many experts of established rank, but
il even somewhat smaller percentage
of statistical condition than this is
shown, the high condition of the crop
that it is known exists, taken along with
the large increase in acreage, prophesies
an abundant yield
The most important matter of news
to-day in the stock market did not, how
ever, refer directly in any way to the
cereal crops, but TO cotton. Good rains
fell over quite a large area in the South
ern Atlantic States, and a further rain
fall was thought to be likely over night
As the result of this, the nearby cotton
option declined in the forepart of the
day, and this movement was followed be-
fore the end Of business by a drop in
the far-away options also. To most
