NEW CROP WHEAT
COMING TO MARKET
MesHaRes Asking for Bids on Grain
Are Leading Bcnri.h Fnctor
In Market,

vi lCAIO. July io.-The leading
oearish factor in the wheat markets
OF the country was the messages re-
ceiVed at.ChicaSo, Kansas CITY and ST.
Louis, asking for bids on new crop
wheat for immediate shipment These
messages were received from Missouri.
Oklahoma and Southern Kansas. and
mere were scattered points i'm Illinois
with wheat ready to be loaded. The
decline at st. Louis was reported at
3 10 II cents to-day receipts of
new crop there of nifty cars 1t is a
certainty that with favorable weather
for farm work the movement of wheat
VIII be sensationally larger, notwith-
standing the fact that many South
western interests say that In great
many instances producers will hold
their wheat instead. of selling IL on
the declines established. The average
farmer knows that with a bumper crop
and with the buying power abroad
more or less concentrated, values will
favor buyers. There were no sales OF
wheat reported In the Chicago market
to-day. but AT the seaboard the trans
actions were placed at 100000 bushels.
and all OF this was new crop. and 1t
was said that ii was for early load
ing.
Professionals In wheat at Chicago
are very bearish in their views. and
they are selling the deferred futures
and following prices downward. The
weather throughout the winter wheat
belt doubtless will be a determining
factor In the making of wheat values
on Monday. There was a lot OF short
selling to-day. and in case these spec
ulators attempt to even up their posi-
tions they will likely meet with losses,
as rains have again advanced prices.
Declines of II to Il cent were made
in corn. and the undercurrent was
weak. IL the exception Of little
strength shown early is brushed aside.
The market was on the down grade,
the rallies being feeble and unsus-
tanned. Cash sales here were $4,000
bushels OF corn.
Oats were J. to IS cents lower. in
sympathy with the break in other
grains. Strength was shown early, but
the offerings increased, and the mar
ket was unable to stand up under the
supply available.
There was a big trade in heavy ribs,
and it was said that these products
were sold by Armour and Swift. While
il was impossible to learn whether
these sales were for shipment abroad,
IL was generally believed this was the
case. Packers were liberal sellers of
lard. and pork was sold freely by scat
, tered interests.

NEW YORK. July lo.-Dun's to-day
says:
Instead of showing the customary

further reduction in the percentage of
idle machinery and in the number of

and producers of footwear are en-,

the wool market and manufacturers

increasing. Broadly considered the
business situation maintains it's pre-
Ttous gains. and confidence appears to
be fully restored, with n conservatism
manifest that augurs we'll for sustained
progress. Both bank clearings and
railroad earnings make better COM
PARSONS with the records OF former
Years; and. as whole the statistical
indices are more uniformly favorable
than in tho recent past.
The remarkable exhibits OF foreign
commerce continue, but the agricuI-
tural outlook is less brilliant than
heretofore. although the government
report indicates that abundant crops
OF the leading grains will be har-
vested.
Recent sensational reports OF crop
deterioration in the Southwest were by
no means wholly confirmed by the Of
fetal returns. and il is gratifying that
there is still promise of a combined
wheat harvest in excess of all former
records. "

These are opinions of the United
States Investor.
To state this case in another way.
the same amount of capital requires
a larger volume of deposits. This is
the real force which has done SO much
to bring about bank consolidation.
that the owners of two or more Banks
have found it advantageous to unite
in the creation of a single bank, be-
cause expenses can be reduced and
additional deposits more quickly ac-
quired.
BY the same token it follows that
to get a new bank started is harder
to-day than ever before. and room for
1t in the community does not always
exist. even though the number OF banks
in the community seems small, when
compared with the number that that
same community used to support.
