serious border raids or unwarranted
attacks upon American troops there
will be little danger of a break.

According to the information avail

dictated by Carranza himself, renews
assurances that adequate forces OF
the de facto government are engaged
in SURPRISING brigandage in northern
Mexico and protecting the interna-
tional line; admits that serious stu

Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said: The reactionary tendency
which developed in the stock market
toward the close of the session yes
terday on rumors of impending mobili-
cation of the natural guard for SER
vice in Mexico were accentuated this
morning by the definite announce
ment that General Carranza had is
sued orders that if any more troops
crossed the border or if any attempt
was made to move the troops already
there east, west or south, they would
be attacked by Mexican forces.
An irregularly heavy opening was
followed by an interval Of 1eakness
in the course of which Mexican
Petroleum declined about two points
while losses ranging from large
fraction to full point and more were
freely distributed throughout the list.
Standard railway issues offered great
er resistance to the forces of reaction
than other groups, but ST. Paul de-
clined full point and Reading, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and others
of that general character gained largo
fractions. Losses were not much II
any in the closing half session. But
the market while shade better, de-
veloped no pronounced rally.

Wheat Take. sIumn.

CHICAGO, June 17.-Before the
war prices were approached in the
wheat market today. Traders who
have seen American wheat shoot up
ward fApm beIow the dollar mark to
some place around $1.70, saw the mar
ket back near the dollar mark today.
Some said the boom was over-that
the dollar mark, claimed to be the
highest actual value for wheat, would
stand pat again. Others said new
boom would come.
July wheat sold today at $1.00B,
the lowest since the first war boom.
September sold at $1.02A. Traders
said the slump is due to two causes
Great Britain's determination to buy
wheat from her own colonies only
and the fact that warning nations now
seem to have large surplus supplies
from their own fields or from orders
previously placed.
