New York, Nay SIT kept on raining
to-day and the bears went On dribbling
their tales of hopelessness, but they
were very careful not 70 sell many
stocks. As matter Of fact the discov-
cry has-been made by some Of the pessi-
uiists that security holders have not
been frightened by the record big tom
mage Of steel that the mills are turning
ont. Only a few specialties were higher,
but the general list was irm throughout
The session. No price changes Of i'm
portance were recorded. The most i'm
portant feature Of the day was develop
ment Of the fact that the important In
teresfs have not abandoned their expec-
tations of better business and bettsy
prices for stocks Everybody in the brolk-
erage business is bearish, and millions OF
conversation securities were disposed OF.
but the order clerks said only a few real
orders were executed. II there were any
general alarm or distrust the list is cer-
tGinly high enough to make the selling
side tempting.
OF the distinct movements Ice was the
only one that gavesa new reason for its
advance. It seems that the ice company
has arranged for the sale Of about s6,0o0.-
06o Of bonds with which to retire sbonds
due next year and furnish working cap
ital TO install artificial ice plants In many
places where the natural ice Is more ex-
Iensive. The ice company IS doing well,
and bankers say its high record price
made to-day is justified The bond sale
was settled week ago and the insiders
have nearly enough cheap stock to make
i worth while TO announce the deal of
hcially.
Three Bonds strong.
F., Beet Sugar. Bethlehem Steel, and Wa
bash bonds were strong The preferred
stock OF Beet Sugar struck par The crop
outlook for sugar beets is good. and there
Is no danger OF any change in the tariff
on sugar. Bethlehem Steel is getting a
fair share Of the record high tonnage
and at better prices than most OF the
steel companies receive. Wabash bonds
are rising on the belief that addition of
B. IL. Baruch-to the committee will
hasten organization Of the company. A
majority Of the bonds has been deposited.
Crop and weather reports from the
entire country confirm and add TO the
hopefuiness Of the outlook for big crops.
The severe damage to winter wheat has
been IN the States east of the Mississippi
An Of these States are big producers of
corn and oats. There is no reason for
expecting crops less than record break
ing. Grain was easier to-day and its
recent advance has been due more to the
partial crop failure Of last year than to
the damage to crops last winter and this
spring Even California has rain enough
TO insure the usual crops. In the North
west and in Canada crop conditions were
never better than they are this spring.
The thing that caused most alarm to-
day was testimony by trade experts that
the steel companies and pig iron pro-
ducers are turning out a record break
ing tonnage The present rate is 100000
tons greater than the previous high record
for billsts and pig iron -
