GOVERNMENT BONDS.
ON THE CONSOLIDATED.

Special weakness Of the war muntion
stocks early attracted general attention
Oh the Consolidated Stock Exchange
and had an unsetting influence else
where in the market. The war group
was gradually slipping downward dur
ing the greater part of the day al
though there was a partial rally
toward the close. 1t was evident
that the "war stocks" were still under
the unfavorable influence of the an
nouncement that the Westinghouse Air
Brake shrapnel plant would be dis
mantled. Baldwin Locomotives open
ing price of II, which was y of point
under its closing quotation on Thurs-
day, was its highest, and 1t afterward
sold as low as 6S3s, closing at &C..
Crucible Steel opened at 7l9s, down Is
of a point from Thursday, and, after
changing hands at 717s, declined 20
687s. but it closed at 7O7s. American
Locomotive, Westinghouse Electric and
others of the war group also suffered
in the market.

The July position was frmer and closed nc

rather ea.y and closed only unchanged TO sc
net higher Support from cash houses and
export sales Of about 800. 600 bushels chiefly
explained the July strength. New crops were

WHEAT.

Operations in the wheat market were
largely OF an eyening-up character for over
the government report. but while IL was gen
orally expected that the figures would show
a considerable improvement over those Of
month ago. the buying was rather more aR-
gressiye than the selling. and prices ruled
steady 20 firm. closing with net gains Of 5
10 &c. The government crop estimate. point
ing to a combined yield of 10000. 900 BUSH
els. or about 100000 bushels larger than
last month. WAS considered about In line
with expectations. and was not expected TO
have any material or immediate influence on
values. Broadly speaking. the report was
doubtless bearsh one. but the trade had
been fully prepared for the improved out
look, and the action OF the market during
the last few days showed quite plainly that
sentiment was inclined 10 lean more 10 the
buying side. This was probably due to evil
dences OF frmer technical position and the
prevailing belief that a crop scare OF some
kind, most likely regarding black rust, will
develop in the Northwe est, where the weather
has been very hot for the last few days.
Furthermore. farmers are showing dlspo-
sitOn to hold their new wheat, and receipts
have not increased rapidly as expected.
The movement Of old wheat, however, con-
tinues abnormally high for this time Of the
year, and the market Is still confronted with
the problem Of disposing Of last years sur
plus, which IS apparently not wanted IN
Europe nor by domestic mills, except IN
limited way. Exporters were making in
Quirie5 regarding the new crop, but appar-
emily We're not entirely satished that the
quality is up TO representation, or they feared
that IL would be mixed with low grade Old
crop wheat and export sales for the day con-
sisted Of about 100000 bushels Of Manltobas.

Empty shelves and facilities with

commercial condition in Argentina az a.
ne present moment. A compilation 1y
ne foreign trade department OF tne
National City Bank shows that the m m
ports into the South American repuollc
10 1915 were smaller than IN any year
% the last decade, while the exports
were record breaking. The value OF

,,e Official returns, was S2lvOOV,VOo'

were S5i2OO0O00, against S467,0OO,OOO
10 1913. the former high record year
The increase IN the value Of the eX,,
ports has been due not only to unusual

lions, but also TO unusually high prices

rs second preferred changed hands
between s3i. and 50. A. the lower tg-
u-.s .-e price was p points of from
