New York. June 23.-Unsettlement
characterized speculative operations in
domestic wheat markets early in tine
week. In the main the general drift
was slightly downward. owing mainly
to copious and widespread rains in the
Southwest. and notably in Kansas an
Nebraska. where the protracted dry
weather recently had caused apprehen-
sion.
Unfortunately. the benefit derived
from those rain was partly countcr6al-
anced by the fact that there was also

is III fun swing in Oklahoma and Is
starting in Southern Kansas. Natu-
rally, therefore. rains in that quarter
would be injurious. not that they would
necessarily reduce the yield. but they
might easily do damage as To quality.
-Advices from the Southwest state that
both yiel and quality of the grain are
satisfactory where harvesting is be-
ing completed, and hence free ship
ments Will soon be made to large CEN
tres. 1t was also declared that in about
ten days harvesting would be practi
cally completed in Kansas. Neverthe-
less many conservative merchants are
decidedly skeptical respecting abundant
receipts of new wheat in the big mar
kets
Millers have almost no reserves. In
deed, many some time ago were COM
PEELED to shut down because they could
not secure wheat in regular territory.
and consequently it is reasonable to
suppose that they will take the new
wheat in as fast as II can be obtaine /.
Therefore no noteworthy increase is
expected in the visible supply before
August. If then. This theory ts plaus-
ible, especially in view of the fact that

The downward tendency was checked
by n fairly large decrease In the visible
supply and in the worlds available
supply Then, too, cable advices We're
