taches will be held here for these
meetings, and that several important
officials from Washington will be in
attendance to give such assistance as
they ran.
Here is a series of conventions at
which the people in attendance are
here not to increase their own salary
or prestige. but simply to see what
can be done to improve the service
given the public, and the department
heartily cooperates with their ap-
pointees hoping to achieve these re-
suits. These gatherings are not Of
dissatisfied officials, or kickers. but
are mainly schools Of instruction. in
which each helps the others on the
daily problems which arise. The de-
partment acknowledges that they
have done a vast amount of good to
improve the public service and bring
about better conditions. 1t is a per-
sonal sacrifice to every one present to
to bear his or her WI expenses. Far
go should make an effort to see that
all present have a good and profitable
time while here.

BARLEY.

Inc present of the new
California barley crop is about $4,000
tons. or approximately 22.s0O,o0o
bushels. The carryover from the 1911
crop Is about 100, 900 bushels, consist
Ing mostly of poor feed barley. A
canvass of the entire state Of Cali
fornia discloses the fact that the crop
Is in very fair condition. 1t is true.
however. that the crop Is quite spot-
ed. which means that good and bad
spots r found in the same section.
few sections are in very poor
condition on account Of the lack of
rain in the early part Of the s
and the later rains not having had the
good effects that were to be desired.
Most OF the large sections are doing
we'll. however, and II the present moist
and cool weather continues for a cou.
pie OF weeks Or more we are practical.
~ assured OF a very large crop. 1t is
impossible to make an approximate
estimate as to the acreage compared
with last years acreage. but the acre
age In growing barley Is about 2 $4,000
acres more than last year. A very
large acreage intended for barley was
not planted to Il on account Of the
dry eason scare" and when the rain
did ZONE It wa too late to plant that
acreage; but ct least $4,000 acres Of
barley were newly planted this sea-
son. which than makes up for
the lose In acreage by reason Of the
dry spell scass.

MARKET
STILL QUIET
Continued Light Demand
Was One Failure of the
Monetary Situation.

New York. June 1s.-Today's stock
market met popular expectations in
that 1t did practically nothing of mo-
ment. Prominent issues like Union
Pacific and United States steel were
under pressure most Of the time and
coal shares receded for like reason.
Heavfness of the latter securities was
NOR directly associated. however. with
the announcement that the interstate
commerce commission purposes be-
ginning its inquiry into the methods
employed by h anthracite companies.
There also was decided weakness
in Wabash isues, which affected Mis-
souri, Pacific and Denver and Rio
Grande. Wabash refunding bonds lost
common and preferred shares declined
abruptly. Shares of the American
Sugar Refining company and the
American Beet Sugar company also
reflected depression.
AS for the general list, prices fuctu-
ated narrowly. In the closing hour,
with trading almost at a standstill. the
carly losses in Reading and Lehigh
Valley were largely recovered.
Business here for London was again
on the buying side, dealings being es-
innate at 10000 shares. a godly part
of which represented steel. Private
cables from Berlin to bankers told of
further stringency at that point.
Continued light demand was the one
feature OF the local monetary situa-
ton. Banks lost some more cash to
the sub-treasury. but his was offset
by receipts from interior points. Call
money was offered under Yesterdays
maximum rate.
Bonds were irregular, with a lower
trend to some of the more important
issues. Total sales. par value, $2,1O5,-
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

BRooMIiALL T.

Liverpool-The net decline in
America yesterday and the tendency
to raise the estimate of the American
winter wheat crop caused ONE little
pressure at the opening here and
prices were barely Is lower. This
pressure. however. was offset here by

nave gone into consumption and dis
tribution as they came when stocks
were dangerously depleted and the de-
mand continues from the continent
