THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat Higher-Corn Declines
Oats Steady-COffee Gains.

Corn as king in the speculative cereals
markets was dethroned yesterday, on the
strength of weather reports and an est-
mate that the crop would still amount to
about $500, 10000 bushels. There was an
advance during the day Of %gAc. but
traders were wary OF following the In
crease In price, and reactions In the late
trading left the market net unchanged to
&c lower. Wheat at interior points
showed smaller receipts. and this led to
the impression that farmers were calcu-
lating on a demand for feeding to take
the place Of the diminished corn supply
There was nothing active about trading
but offerings were small. and with shorts
inclined to cover. the market worked UP
to an advance OF Agi1c at the close. oats
were nervous and price changes were so
small that the close was at net I'M
changed from the day before.
Coffee traders were apparently looking
for a crop scare from Brazil. and be-
tween those who hoped for II and those
who feared II there was comparatively
little business, with offerings small. De-
mand gradually increased during the
day, with the result that an opening at
unchanged TO points down was changed
to e. steady close, net to IS points up.
Spot prices were advanced a fraction,
with fine Santos grades in good demand
and firm.

SYNDICATE COMPLETE
Offering of Certificates Of In
tereSt 0verSubSCribed.
40fo ALLOWED TO EACH
Stockholders May Take Major
Part, Leaving Balance for
Syndicate.

PARTICIPATION in the underwriting OF
the SS3,576 shares OF Southern Pacific
held In trust by the Central Trust Com
pany by the syndicate Of which Kuhn
Loeb & Co is at the head, will not mean
that nearly that number OF shares Will
be at the disposition OF those interested
Just how much OF the stock OF the syndi-
cate members will be permitted to handle
10 "guesswork." as a member OF Kuhn
Loeb & Co. expressed II, and the share
for each cannot be determined until after
September 2.
Depending on the extent to which stock
holders Of Southern Pacific avail them
selves Of their privilege to subscribe. and,
according TO the number OF Union Pacific
rights" exercised, the syndicate members
after September 2. on which date the sub
scriptions must be received by the Central
Trust Company. will learn what portion
OF the sS3.j76 shares has been unsub-
scribed
Trading in rights" has been active,
and in consideration OF the possibility that
Southern Pacific may sell higher before
September 2 II is probable that response
by the stockholders to the offer OF South
ern Pacific certificates OF interest Will be
extensive. With the privilege to sub
scribe at 90 plus dividends since April l
rise of several points in Southern Pacific
stock would mean a decided opportunity
for profit on the stockholders part.
Stockholders Of Southern Pacific are
limited in their subscriptions TO the GER
tificates Of interest 10 the extent Of q
per cent Of their holdings. Based on the
outstanding stock Of Southern Pacific. the
total which may be subscribed OF the
SS3.57s shares Is s73.621.549. leaving a
balance for the syndicate OF sl4,736,05i.
II, the event that a large number OF sub
scribers do not avail themselves Of their
privilege, the latter amount will be much
augmented.
Formation OF the syndicate, Il was stat
ed yesterday. has been completed. Be
tween 500 and 700 members applied for
allotments. with large demand from
England and Continental Europe. So
heavy were the applications for allot-
ments that the issue was two and one
half times oversubscribed. or total OF
about s22O.00O.0 900 requested. Notices
sent out by Kuhn. Loeb q Co. were that
each member would receive 30 per cent
of his requested allotment

Washington. Aug. Alt was learned to-
day that q bank examiner OF the Treas
ury Department is investigating the
charges that the National City Bank OF
New York violated the national banking
laws by making "A loan of 100000 to the
Chicago Elevated Railways Company. Of
hcials Of the Treasury Department de-
olired to discuss the charges beyond say
ing that they were filed in the usual way
and were under investigation. 1t could
not be learned whether or not the de-
partment had received a report. but II is
known that the charges were preferred
BY private individual
There was a disposition in banking
circles here to-day to attach more than
ordinary Importance 10 the case because
Of the antagonism between the Secretary
Of the Treasury and the National City
Bank. growing out OF the formers
charges in connection with the deprecia-
ton Of the 2 per cent bonds. officials in
the Treasury Department made light Of
this idea, however. and declared that the
tharges had been filed In routine way
and were being investigated in the same
manner as any other Of the charges that
come before the department.
Should the charges be found. on in
vestigation. 10 be true the only recourse
the government would have will be 70
begin a suit 10 annul the charter Of the
bank: but this seems so far out of the
question that il is not regarded as a
probability.
Chicago, Aug. I4-Henry A. Blair. one
Of the trustees of the Chicago Elevated
Railways Company and head Of the
Chicago Railways Company, to-day ex-
planned the loan negotiated with the
National City Bank of New York.
Yes. II is true that l negotiated a
loan of S44.5OO. 900 from the National City
Bank of New York." he said, but this
loan was made in the interest Of he
Chicago Elevated Railways and not the
Chicago Railways Company, as stated in
dispatches from Washington. and the
loan was distributed among several m
stltut!ons.
IT is ridiculous TO imagine that one
bank would loan out such an amount.
When l went 70 New York after l had
made an offer 10 the various stock
holders in the Metropolitan, Northwestern
and South Side Elevated and the Lake
Street Elevated roads of sum OF %H,-
10000 for the stocks and bonds OF these
companies the offer was accepted. Then
! went TO frank Vanderlip and Samuel
McRoberts and asked them II they could
not act as the principals in the transac-
ton and give a loan OF s44,50O,0Co IN
order TO merge all OF Chicago's elevated
railroads. After the stocks were ex-
smined they said they thought the loan
could be negotiated. The loan was made,
but II was distributed by the National
City Bank TO ten different institutions
