WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Stock Letter.

New York, July 17.-London did not
respond to our advance in stocks.
Prices sold one-half to two points off,
with Canadian Pacific weak. It was
noteworthy that the buying power on
the rise was light and after prices
were bid up bids were frequently with
drawn in active issues, such as Union
Pacific and Reading. In word, much
of the buying came from shorts, and
when they covered, the demand van
ished. There is an element of danger
in the eastern labor situation, due to
the demand of the railroads that their
request for reduction of certain wages
be entertained in the forthcoming ar
bitration. We have reason to believe
! that the men will. refuse to arbitrate
such demands. If they do, we will
again be face to face with danger of
a strike The Mexican situation is
considered by some as more grave.
President Wilson so far has ignored
the position of other nations so far as
we can judge. Now something must
be done. Germany is reported to be
pressing for action. Yesterdays sharp
rally was, in our opinion, nothing
more than a move against the shorts.
These having covered, prices will slip
back Under no circumstances would
we buy except on sharp declines.

trains brought the big show into the
city with Sc cars bringing 1900 people,
600 horses, herds of elephants, and the
famous harness teams of camels and
zebras. No alarm clocks were needed
to get the small boy out of bed this
morning, for he was down at the
tracks before dawn waiting for the
first glimpse of the circus, and there
was with this youthful throng a large

New York, July 17.-During the first

might say, unsettled, the trading being

hay 60. Kansas endured its fourth
day of 100 to 10 temperatures on
Wednesday. Concordia ran up to 10
and the heat wave spread into Iowa,
Missouri and parts of Illinois. Parts
of these states registered 100 to 102.
The northwest and Canada are again
cool. A drop of 80 points in the corn
condition in 20 per cent of the belt
would reduce the August condition to
so or 81. Shipments of wheat, corn
and oats from Chicago Wednesday
were small. Primary receipts of wheat

then that | could pay chorus salaries
on Tuesday. When that day came
and | found | could not | assembled
the chorus and explained THAI we
would play the week out at least; that
| could not assure them their salaries,
but that | did assure them their hotel
bills and transportation home.
Acting on this proposition. l asked
the chorus to bring their hotel bills
to the theater last Saturday. l had
about $500 with which to meet them.
To my amaZement some of them pre-
scented bills as high as $40 and $50.
These were from chorus girls and
men earning $50 and SIS a week.
There was no question but that either
they had lived at an extraordinary
rate or that the bills were padded I'M
der an understanding that the amount
in excess of the actual bill was to be
refunded to them by the hotels. So
far as possible | paid these bills. Also
! during the week | gave various men,
! bers of the company small sums for
! immediate expenses. Consequently,
the management owes the chorus only
about an average of So each.
In an effort to raise funds, we gave
an extra Thursday matinee, Miss
| Scheff appearing, and took in $3.50.
That money went to the company.
Before leaving Chicago | told the
company that l was going to New
York solely to get money for them,

leave tomorrow night.
Through the efforts of Lou House
man eighteen members of the chorus
were offered go1i positions in Chi

which indicates that their tribulations
are not so oppressive that they are
eager TO work. Four of the chorus

LiNernool Situation.

Liverpool, July 1.-THE wheat mar
kot opened dull but steady, influenced
by strength in America yesterday.
Later there was some realizing in a
moderate way stimulated by the pres
sure of off coast cargoes, and prices
declined. The weather in France was
here from Russia reports better wea-
Their there. Continued fine weather
n the American winter wheat belt
and prospects of a large yield there
is causing a less active demand. AT
1870 p. m. the market was dull but
easy. Corn was lower on the liberal
plate offers and quiet demand for

Crop Reports.

Chicago, H., July 17.-Oats thresh-
ing just commencing. A few reports
of Is to 20 bushels yields have drifted
from Illinois. My oats reports run 20
to rs per cent condition mainly.
About half say some gain since July
l and the other half say loss. Cen
eral oats condition shows little i'm
provement. Bear pressure is entirely
due to old crop liberality-which will
vanish in September and October.
Our Wednesday corn reports again
average high. Southwest news indi-
Gates a 20 point loss in Kansas and
10 in Nebraska; otherwise as a whole
corn condition is reported liberal.
Impression pertains that December
corn is the leader and the September
premium is not justifiable. Alabama
and few southern states will show a
big corn decline this month.
Hay crop looks rs per cent of last
years giant yield and is a factor in
the coarse grains. Period of July 4
to 16 has brought extensive rains over
below July average but delays rain
anxiety for moment.
On the July dip, corn has resumed
much of the wondrous speculative an
ticipation that marked May and June.
Would follow December corn. Claims
of certain big oats improvement on
the July rains can be doubted. Com.
parsons of late improvement are flu
tile as we can see now that oats in
1912 were never below 100 per cent.
The provision market regards the
July Is amount of provision supplies
as too moderate. Position of July
longs is strong. Pork prices are %
per cent above last July. Ribs and
lard are 10 to 20 per cent above las;
year. Supplies are 40 per cent below,
After the July shorts are in markets

September wheat closed June at the

cash stuff Wednesday was only fair.
There is a printed report here cover
ing oats threshings of 81 bushels
against 46 last year in seven states.
Chicago wheat receipts are enlarging.
All grains show marked disposition TO
adopt a rallying tone. Export sales
of wheat are heavy. Howard Bartels

for export and carry over, about IL
100000 above last July. They have
also figured the grain promise. They
make the oats promise of Illinois, In.
diana, Ohio and Iowa $4,000, 900 bush
els against 572,000,O 900 last year. II
the final oats yields are in line the
fall run of oats will certainly be dis
appointing. Kansas City September
wheat is 231ac below Liverpool Octo
Der. Chicago September wheat is
17%c below Liverpool October. The
last similar hot wave in the south
west during 1911 cut Kansas corr
about 100000 and Nebraska corr
about 100000. Wheat and oats art
possibly a sale on any bulge today.
