Spring Wheat Crop Has Been
Reduced by Drought-Corn
and Oats Are Stronger.

New York. June 2e.-Prices In domes-
tic wheat markets fell to a slightly
lower level early in tho week. There
was a noticeable growth Of bearish

fsh at this season Unless there Is
some counterbalancins influence, prac-
ticaliS every one concerned. barring
the farmer is inclined to favor tho
bear side at or Just previous to tho
beginning of the new-orop season.
Naturally, large interests. such as mill
ers. elevator owners and shippers. ap-
preciate the Importance of beginning
the new-crop year with prices as low
as possible. This enables them to load
ur or anticipate their future require
ments with n reasonable degree Of
safety.
The New Wheat.
With good weather In the South and
Southwest, harvesting is in full swing
and therefore new wheat will soon be
moving to primary points in fairly
comparatively free hedge" selling
Whether this will suffice to cause n
sharp break can only be conjectured
for there are factors on the other side
of the account to be reckoned with.
For one thing, prevailing prices are
much lower than n year ago In the
local market. for instance, July is
about 10 cents cheaper, while in Chi
cago 1t is 16 cents. Therefore, the
question naturally arises. will farmers
be willing 10 sell freely at such n
basis?
1t should also be borne in mind that
: stocks of winter wheat and -four are
comparatively small. There is great
scarcity of soft wheat, and hence IL is
argued that II will take several weeks
before all OF the holes are filled up
Advices from the Northwest have been
ha,
been nervous. which led to many err
ratio fluctuations, there being numer-
GUS alternate periods of weakness and
buoyancy
Undoubtedly. matters are badly
mixed in spring wheat territory. The
In some places the rainfall has been
adequate, while in others 1t was de-
cidedly limited. and hence estimates as
to the probable production differ
widely. 1t Is however, the consensus
of opinion that the yield in the three
big States will be appreciably smaller
than last year, some so-called experts
placing the total in those States at
between 175.O00.00O and $4,000, 600
bushels. against $4,000. 600 bushels
harvested last year.
Crop Estimates.
IT is the general impression that the
total of spring wheat will be at least
$4,000 600 bushels less than last year,
when it was 330, 100000 bushels Esti-
mates as TO the yield in Kansas have
also been lowered, ranging from GO,
100000 to S0,000.000 bushels. against
$1,000 600 bushels last year. This may
be partly Offset by the more satisfac-
tory outcome In Nebraska Taken in
its entirety, indications are that the
grand total Will be larger than a year
ago. viz. 10000 900 bushels Cable

PRICES FLUCTUATE
VERY IRREGULARLY

The statistical position Of cotton
generally Is bearish Prices for tho
old crop stand at 12 cents for July
and August deliveries, and IL "a to
IL LIZ for the later months. That
range Is considered q full value for
cotton under all existing circumstances
Therefore, without disastrous weather
during tho ensuing month to create a
genuine crop scare, experienced cot
ton men and expert spot dealers and
market operators see nothing better In
prospect than slight and temporary
rallies, with more probability of lower
prices prevailing should the present
very favorable prospects for another
big crop BIO maintained.
Plenty of Cotton.
Tho present worlds visible supply
OF cotton of all kinds, according to the
figures complied by the Now Orleans
Cotton Exchange last night, is 3.4S7,011
bales, against 3,663,0S6 last week, g.
42b.717 last year, and 2.3eS.334 for 1911.
The total crop brought into sight for
the past week was 2S,050 bales. against
32.112 last year. and 26.877 In 1911. The
total crop marketed to date from the
opening of the season on September
is 1S.37S,es3 bales. against 15.55s,225
the same time last year, 11.632422 for
the corresponding period In 1911, and
10.1lS,6S1 in 1910. This seasons total
crop, including linters as estimated by
the Census bureau, Is l4,0ib,OUV DaleS
the second largest in history, COM
pairing with tho previous record yield
of 16,120,000 bales produced the pre-
vious season, about 600 the year
before last. and 100000 bales in tho
crop failure of 1910. There is, there
fore over 100000 bales of the crop
remaining in farmers hands from last
seasons growth still to come forward
before the emo OF the present cotton
year on August 81 or to be carried
over into the new crop season, which
begins on September I.
The crop In Texas and Oklahoma has
made such rapid progress. that Is on
the average of being only one week late
now, and therefore great deal of
new cotton will be coming on the
markets during August from Southern
Texas. Some new bales will commence
TO appear at various points in that
section by the middle of next month
and develop In increasing numbers
from that time on. Consequently any
effort to manipulate prices either here
or at New Orleans for the old crop
months &gainst the shorts would find a
good deal OF cotton available for de-
lievries, II the price is made sufficient
" attractive to bring 1t out.

Petersburg, Va. June 29.-Thc Hust :

George Nunnally. For five hours the

hands of Wavcrly Blanks.
The testimony before the jury was
the strongest circumstantial evidence
ever heard In a courtroom. II was
shown conclusivcly that Blanks had
threatened the life Of Nunnally, and
that Nunnally had been warned of
these threats; that on the night of the
shooting Blanks had told his friends
mat he was going to settle a matter
that night, and ne had TO do 1t so as to
settle the question OF the virtue OF
