Wall Street Traders Expected

BY RROADAN WALL.

NEW YORK, July "Wednesday s
stock market was a disappointment.
Early promise OF strength faded and
the market lapsed into extreme dull
ness and quotations sagged.
London prices were lower and for
eign houses sold moderately. A cheer
full feeling was noted abroad and mar
kets there we're firm. but this Senti-
ment did not include our securities.
Reports from Washington that the
interstate commerce commission plan
ned to announce a decision on We'd
nesday acted as q restraint on trad
ing and with the coming holiday at
the week end. little disposition was
shown to open fresh commitments.
The public is doing nothing and the
short interest has been considerably
reduced
Reports from the grain regions con-
tinue to be highly favorable and the
government commitment was consid-
cred reassuring. although the general
condition is still the lowest inyears.
The new fiscal year has opened
without any untoward developments
in the money market. Time rates
were a shade firmer and a loss by
the banks to the government Of more
than $S.000,000 on the day fore-
shadows an unfavorable bank state
ment on Friday.
While brokers were watching the
tape for an announcement that the
Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton had
again passed into the hands of the
court Ex-Governor Harmon announc-
ed that he was the receiver and still
legally in office, although the road
had technically been managed by its
officers since 1909. A receiver for a
receiver would be a novelty for Wall
street.

PREDICT BETTER
PRICES FOR GRAIN
I oreignerS Are Uneasy Over
the CurtaiIed Offerings and
Are Ready to Pay More
Liverpool Shorts Covering.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

CHICAGO. July Rains in the
winter wheat belt are likely TO delay
threshing and movement OF wheat for
a few DAYS at least. This fact was
the principal help 20 the market on
Wednesday when there were fraction
Al price gains, and this too. against
free offerings from the opening TO the
close Of the session.
Private cables from Liverpool told
OF the uneasiness shown there by for
eigners because OF the curtailed offer
ings. not only from the United States,
but from other exporting countries
as we'll. Liverpool was 3-4d1 IS
higher for futures. which fully dem
onstrates the claim made by the writ
or that il is suicidal for the producers
OF wheat in the United States 10 follow
the market downward and dispose OF
their surplus at prices unnecessarily
low. Shorts at Liverpool were cover
ing freely because Of the smaller avail
aJle supply there.
Canadian wheat was held at adj
Gances in the importing countries on
Wednesday and IL is expected by the
trade there that Russia will ship light
~ for the present. The continent was
in the markets Of the old world again
and thee buyers took hold of not
only cargOes. but Of parcels.
A special cable received from Liv-
erpOOl and which was sent by an ac-
cepted authority Of that country says
that IL Is doubted there If the total
yield Of wheat in the United States
will come any where near the 100000
600 mark
Cash wheat was sold at Chicago to
the extent Of possibly 100000 bushels
for export. The milling demand was
quite small. the total being around
$4,000 bushels. Vessel room was char
tered for a round lot Of wheat that
will go out by water from this mar
ket Exporters continue TO take hold
freely as they have been assured there
will be no trouble in moving out the
wheat before the close Of navigation.
Corn was irregular and unsettled
Wednesday. Favorable weather in
the belt where there were good rains
caused increased offerings in the pit
and the supply on sale was poorly alb
sOrbed. Resting spots for the day
were IL m 1-2c lower for nearby flu
lures, while the deferred months were
lac better.
Argentine was unsettled and the
spot market at Liverpool was un-
changed 10 IA lower while futures
were Is higher.
The Oklahoma July condition was
unOfficially placed at %, compared
with 81 month ago and 50 a year
ago when the crop was %, 900, 900.
Oats showed losses Of Ito rs. Adj
vices from Nebraska say that the crop
Of that state is ten days earlier than
usual and that il will be one OF the
largest ever raised
The feature of the provision mar

almost wholly by prOfit-taking longs.
There were fair deliveries of lard and
pork on July contracts. Lard and
ribs were fractiOnally lower. The
stocks of hog products as compiled
by Registrar Boore OF the board of

specialists as bearish. Close:

The senate is far from resigned to
the thought of six weeks or more of

the spirit of open revolt will show

the three house bills or legislation
will be put through by the familiar
process, weeks of debate in fruitless
effort to amend and then passage.

HELP FOR SALEM HOMELESS
Relief Work in Stricken Massachu-
sets City Proceeding With Pre-
cision-9, 900 Are Idle.

Salem, Mass.-Measures for the re-
lief of the $4,000 persons made home
less in the recent confiagration are
proceeding with military precision.
More than $500 were directly depen-
dent upon the relief committee for
shelter, while $500 waited patiently
in the various bread lines for food
which streamed into the city in
abundance.
Those cared for in the tented camps
were of the poorer class, mostly for
eigners. Nearly all the well-to-do had
found refuge with friends and rela-
tives elsewhere.
An insurance adjuster who went
carefully over the devastated district
estimated the loss at $12,O00,000, of
which $10,OOO,O0O was covered by in
surance This insurance, it was
stated, was well distributed, the
heaviest amount falling upon any one
company being 100000.

placed at $3,5OO,0O0.

SUFFRAGE A STATE ISSUE?
President Wilson Refuses to Help
Women Get Constitutional Amend
ment Through House.

Washington, D. president Will
son told deputation of more than
five hundred woman suffragists at the
White House that woman suffrage
was a state issue and not a national
one, and for that reason he would not
use his influence for the passage of
a constitutional amendment in con-
gress.
When the women first asked the
President to recommend the amend
ment he said he couldn't do SO be-
cause it was not in the party plat
form. Only a few weeks later he
asked congress to repeal the canal
tolls exemption, which was not only
not in the platform, but the exact op-
posite of what the party did indorse.
To call the Presidents attention to
