SUPPORT IN LATE TRADING

Copyright, 1912, by New York Evening
NEW YORK. May 7.-Practcally
all the attention OF today's financial
markets was converged on the gov
ernment's crop report. which was pub
lished shortly before the close of bus
mess. This superseded even the news
of the close vote and the Roosevelt
plurality at the Maryland primary
elections. This may have had some
hand in the generally depressed con-
dition OF the stock market during the
early hours; but there was no activ-
ity in trading, and energies were sus-
pended until IL should be known what
the department OF agriculture thought
of the wheat crop outlook.
When that report was published, IL
was difficult TO pass quick judgment
on II. The grain trade had rather
generally been predicting a condition
of 76 or lower for winter wheat, and
loss in area, from winter killing .
or about six million acres. The gov
ernment's condition estimate In 79&
very close to Aprils so SIS. This
indicates that the recent unfavorable
conditions in the middle west have
been Offset by the conditions of the
Mississippi. But on the other hand
the governments estimate OF sban-
doned area is 6,649. 900 acres, or con-
siderably more than the trade had
looked for.
During most OF the day the market
was distinctly heavy. with the Insist
puf selling of fha steel shares as the
feature. The stock received better
support in the late trading. A; the
low level of the day there were such
losses from yesterday, as ] IA points
In Steel, is in Amalgamated Cop
per, 7-S in Reading. and in st. Paul.
All of the copper shares were sold
freely, the liquidation in Amalgamated
respectfully being very heavy.
