WAGWER'S REVIEW

New York, July 2.-The market sold

there was evidence of better senti-
ment, based largely on satisfactory

lean crowd created some comment this
morning, but, of course, things in the
lean crowd are not always what they

Grain Calculation.

Chicago, Ill. July 2.-The entire
grain list promises further fiuctua-ion.
The damage market in oats should
continue and the investor should fol-
low. Terminal supplies are large but
knowledge of the moderate 1918 crop
is a dependable purchasing factor
Half the grain belts are dry and
and probably 25 per cen. require early
rains. The experts have covered the
spring wheat territory but their
guesses lack a positive note. Prob
ably a July spring wheat condition OF
% TO "a will meet the situation.
The world wheat raising season tc
July 1st has been one Of extreme
placidity. The forecaster can only re
mark that these placid conditions il
continued will exercise further effect
on the wheat price. The government
announces its guess on Wednesday
July 3.
Corn faces a July condition report
Of 50 to 81 and is hampered by the re

Rains will mean a little further re
cession in corn but a. around these
levels corn promises to fight its July

Morning Stock Letter.


New York, July london did not
follow up our rise here in stocks.
Union Pacific was q lower, Canadian
Pacific Is down and some others frac-
tionally lower The Balkan situation
is ascribed as the chief unfavorable
influence abroad. A vote for strike
in the Transvaal mines July 6, Il they
shut down, would have adverse effect.
TIE conductors and trainmen will an
nounce their strike vote Monday. 1t
will probably be almost unanimous.
But we would not assume from this
that there will be trouble. The rail-
roads. however, show no disposition TO
yield Legislation, by the way, is pend
ing az Washington to compN both
sides to a controversy to arbitrate.
This perhaps would be rushed if trou-
BILE were threatened. After all, the
crops are the dominating influence.
There are continued high tempera-
lures, with little rain, in the corn
belt. The next two weeks will be
highly important No general rain is
in sight We suggest taking profits on
| Icing stocks. The market will not run
away. Wait for more breaks before
| buying.

POINTS TO WOMEN
AS CAPABLE DRIVRS

That women should be praised as
drivers OF automobiles rather than
criticised Is the opinion set forth by
A. f. Morrison western sales man
ager of the RICH corporation during
visit to Detroit last week. Mr.. Nor
rison bases his views on investiga
tom made recently in Los Angeles
He says: Ninety per cent or the
women handling automobiles In Los
Angeles are as capable OF driving their
cars as men who have had similar
experience. so. many men pilots ridi
culed the efforts OF feminine drivers
that thought the subject might prove
an interesting study.
I'm exactly go per cent OF the acci'
dents recorded in Los Angeles during
the past six weeks, men were to blame
Perhaps the period Of time chosen
cid not represent the average, but l.
shows that the fair pilots have been
maligned. The percentage OF women
handling cars there Is placed al II
per cent, so you can easily see how
they are out numbered by careless or
incompetent drivers Of the opposite
sex

WHO'S WHO IN The AUTOMOBILE FIELD

The automobile armament Is en-
