LONDON, July 2s.-Under the influence
of the vast war expenditures and the
monetary conditions dulness reigns in the
city and the stock markets. Short loans
are in demand with discounts quiet, but
very firm because of the continued gold ex-
ports disclosed by Thursdays bank re-
turn.

cusses today the hidden drain of gold
shown weekly but not daily. Neverthe-
less, despite the loss Of half million gold,
this weeks proportion is better than last
weeks Meanwhile. the daily sales of ex-
chequer bonds and treasury bills Ia very
large and the question of funding the debt
is arising.
Gilt-edged stocks remain depressed.

proht-taking by longs. Although II was the
general opinion that the damage to the
spring crop from rust had been extensive.
1t was believed that the advance OF more
than 2Cc n bushel had discounted great
losses.

sold down to S1.20h September started at
S1.22la to Sl.2I% against S1.22h, yester-
days last price, and dropped to S1.21A.
December ranged from S1.25Ts TO S1.25h,
compared with s1.259s at the close yeSter-
day and declined to S1.24%.
The market at Liverpool was dull but
steady, the decline here and better weather
In the United Kingdom being offset by lack
of offerings. The demand from the Conti-
nent was broader and as prices in India
and Australia were above parity those
countries were precluded from competing.
Difficulty in accommodating wheat has had
as much to do with making British traders
nervous as has the news from the Ameri-
can Northwest. Moreover, the weather in
Europe generally IL unfavorable. The re-
Ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth today were
$50 cars against 1853 cars a year ago. at
Winnipeg 760 cars, compared with 80 cars
at Chicago. 120 cars. contrasted with 205

start. There were a few showers In the
