. SLUGGISH WEEK
Market Movements Slow, Espe.
cially Railroad Stocks.
Steel Firmer, but Copper a Bit
OFF Again.

New York, June 26.-The move
ment of stocks this week was mostly
mess in the later dealings. This was
particularly true of the securities COM
prising the Southwestern group of
railways, notably Missouri Pacific,
Texas, and Denver and Rio Grande.
All these issues registered severe de-
clines due mainly to uncertainty re-
garding their future.
Other securities including high
grade investment issues were under
frequent pressure a result of
further foreign offerings caused by
the issuance of the huge new British
war loan. Domestic war specialties
were comparatively heavy and mac
tive and coppers lost more of their
recent advance on continued shading
of prices of the refined product.
United States Steel and allies shares
were firmer than other industrials on
the steady improvement in the trade.
The mills of the large companies are
working nearer to full capacity than
at any time in recent years and indi-
cations point to a substantial increase
in earnings of the Steel corporation
for the quarter now expiring. For
eign exchange was again a factor of
Importance, all European remittanceS
disclosing greater weakness with some
belated recovery in London bulls on
additional gold imports from Canada.
French and Italian exchange were
at record breaking discounts, the de-
cline in the Paris rate being the more
confusing from the fact that the new
French loan made by our bankers was
supposed to neutralize sales of bills on
Paris.
Crop news was variable with signs
of more deterioration in the southwest.
Railroad earnings were mixed with
marked gain in tonnage at leading
traffic centers.

Dun's Report.
New York, June 26.-Duns today
says:
Cross currents continue il business
channels, but the tide of returning
prosperity is gradually rising. Good
news still predominates and further
progress is manifest, Notwithstanding
in the west. This retards the retail
distribution of merchandise and tends
to adversely affect the jobbing trade.
The agricultural outlook has been
impaired by excessive rains.
Harvesting of winter wheat is de-
layed and corn has received a set
back, yet crop failures from too much
moisture are comparatively rare, the
other extreme having furnished the
great records of loss.
Although July dividend payments
will not equal last years by approx
mately $4,7OO,OOO several corporate
interests have announced increased
disbursements, two railroads operating
in the middle west being included in
the list this week. 1t now seems as
sured that the nations excess of mer-
chandise exports over imports for the
fiscal year will amount to round
billion dollars.
While some disturbances are appar-
ent, no serious labor controversies
n no inc c1 nrto Of
skilled workmen is about the only
cloud in the Industrial sky.

East ST. Louis, I'LL, June 26.-For
the first time in the history of the
National Stock Yards a shipment of

lea, IS en- route to East ST. Louis.
Announcement is made here that
5000 head were bought in Honduras

people of the United States spend
nearly $500, 100000 annually for music
in various forms, according to statis-

The delegates attending are of the
opinion that part of this-or an ade-

70 TONS or POTATOES AN ACRE

A farm paper that comes to the

Gle telling how some of the logged

extract from the article.
After the lumber companies have
cut down the timber they sci the
land. The purchasers 'femove th
stumps and plant the land to pota-
toes.
Potatoes make very good crop
on logged-off lands. The cultivation
necessary for successful potato eui-
ture puts the land in an excellent con-
dition Of tilth. and much plant food
is made available for succeeding crop
