|U.S.ALCOHOL UPSETS'
 THE STOCK MARKET.
The Heavy Liquidation of War Issues Is Unac-
 counted For

New York, July 24.-The gyrations of United States Alcohol, one of the more
 speculative semi-war issues, was the
 Alcohol opened with the balance of the
 list at slight gain, but soon developed
 acute weakness, which increased with the progress of the session. The stock
 made an extreme of 10h to 101A, wip- ing out much of last weeks 17-point re- covery.
 There was an absence of news, off,
 icial or semi-official,, to account for the heavy liquidation, but rumor as-
 sociated the severe reversal with some
 unexpected obstacle in the negotiations
 for large contract with the French government. Sales of alcohol amounted
 to 37,o0o shares, making 1t next to United States Steel, the most active feature of the day.
 Steel for a time was the markets
 sheet anchor on it's rise of 2 to S7M,
 its best price in something like fort might. Buying of Steel, which later sur lrendered its gain and small fraction besides. was predicated upon the state lment which will follow tomorrow's s iquarterly meeting of the directors. Other strong features of the fore moon included the Motors, especially Maxwells, the shipping group, independ- ent steel and iron issues, sugars and tobaccos. Among the latter, Lgget N & Meyers, made an advance of 1894 with 15A for G. W. Helme
 Rails gave promise of strength but fell away on moderate offerings in the final hour, when quotations were at lowest levels. Total sales of stocks amounted to 430,000 shares.
 M General news, aside from the uncer- stainty attending the railway labor prob Hem. was mainly constructive. Southern Pacific reported an increase of S1,222,- 1000 in June operating income, and western lines showed heavy tonnage Ogains over last year.
 N Bonds were irregular with stocks, Nchiefly in consequence of heavy offer Nings of international war issues at Cslight concessions. Total sales, par Ovalue, $2.560,0O0; United States bonds
 were unchanged on call.

Germany Bound to Lose
 Says VenizelOs of Greece

Athens, July A.-Cvia London )-Former Premier venizelos openingly challenges King Constantine's expressed belief that Germany cannot be defeated in an article which appears in today's Herald. Venize- los quotes an interview given by the King to an Associated Press represent3tive last January, in which the monarch declared that the war would result in a draw
 Who is now so blinded by prejudice" asks the statesman, that he still believes in German victory7 Who today, after the reorganization of the Russian army and the organization of Kitchener's army, by which England Is raised to the rank of a great military power, still imagines that the war can be ended by bastard peace in which there will be neither vic- tor or yanquished?"

NET GAIN SHOWN
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Crop Damage Reports Are Held Responsible for
 the Advance

Chicago, July 22.-Crop damage reports carried wheat prices further upgrade to- day after setbacks that resulted from weather northwest and from enlarged shipments in the west and southwest. The market closed strong, 27sc to 3kc net higher with September at s1.22B and De- cember at S125. Corn finished 15c off to %c up and oats gained a shade to Ac In provisions there was net advance of 1oc to 171zc.
 It was evident at the windup of busi- ness today that the injury to crops in the spring wheat region was being taken more seriously by the trade in general than had previously been the case.
 A leading expert sent word from Brad ley. s. D.. that the loss in South Dakota was much greater than was generally known, and that the crop In North Da- kota was also badly damaged. Most of the time in the earlier part of the ses- sion, however, the fact that cooler wealth CT prevailed in the northwest ended somewhat to allay fears regarding black rust. Heavily increased arrivals of new winter wheat at Kansas City, St. Louis
 
 tention by the bears.
 In the last hour the temporary optimism regarding black rust virtually disappeared in the wheat pit Late reports, especial ly from North Dakota were adverse to the selling side, at Kensal, N. D.. the pest in an advanced stage was found to have developed on all head stalks and there was said to be only one section of the state that did not send in bad reports the northwest corner around Minot.
 Dry weather in the corn belt brought about higher prices. Enlarged receipts here, though, made the July option rela- lively weak. Oats averaged higher with wheat and corn. Nevertheless on the bulges free selling was indulged in by some of the larger houses. Higher prices on hogs led to an advance in provisions. Packers were active buyers, chiefly of lard.

 New York, July 24.-The local market for raw sugar was very quiet, and no further business was reported. Buyers and sellers were little apart, holders asking 5ssc for nearby shipments of sugars, while refiners seemed willing to pay only 5Ac. In the absence of business spot prices were nominally unchanged at 5 5-16 cents for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.33c for centrifugal and 5.56c for molaSses.
 Tn refined there were good withdrawals on old contract, but otherwise business was light and prices remained unchanged at 765c for fine granulated.
 Futures were easier under scattered liquidation prompted by the inactivity in the spot market. Closing prices were 1 to 4 points net lower, with sales of 3750 tons for September, 5.35c to 5.33c; closing 5.35c; December 5.09c to 5.05c, closing 5.0Sc; March closed at 4.46c.

jority of cases in former years has been the level at which the market turned. It Is quite within the possibilities in our opinion, under existing conditions. for prices to advance materially from pres ent levels.
 Fourteen cents may, and we believe will, look cheap a month hence. The damage already done, from our view point, is irretreivable. The market has not responded to 1t because sellers ap- parently do not apprecite the menace Implied by torrentia1 and long contin- ued rains on soil. which originally poorly equipped. is now further de- nuded of the elements so necessary for the life and proper development of the cotton plant.

Charles Fairchild & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 24.-(Special.) Heavy July rains ordinarily do not im- ply disaster. they mean delayed culti- vation and grass, which conditions of course can be overcome with favora- ble weather. In the present instance, however, coming after two years of in sufficient and low grade fertilization they are capable of different interpre- tation. They have washed away ele- ments absolutely necessary for the growth of the plant and have left it at the mercy of the high temperatures incident to August. The dressings of standard fertilizers when used in emergencies in the past have improved the stalk but have added little to the fruit. What home made mixtures, lim- ited in quantity and inferior in quality and applied as last resort can do over the widely affected areas will, we think. be manifestly most convincingly should high temperatures develop

Mobile, July A.-(Special.) )-City author tiles have started a vigorous campaign here seeking enforcement of the screen ing ordinance which applies against res taurants, cook shops, cafes. markets and other pupblic places where foodstuffs are served. Police officers have been in- structed to look out for such places all over the city.
 The board of equalization beginning MoUday will have eight more days in which to conclude their work under the Alabama law. The assessed valuation last year was approximately S9o00o000. It is certain that these figures will be in- creased very materially when final state ments are available. Five hundred and one cases, including some of the biggest property holders of the city and county, were disposed of last week. Much inter- est is manifested in the final valuations on water front property. A dispute has arisen about the harbor lines and until the corps of United States engineers come plete a new survey final action will nos be taken. One owner of water front prop< erty, unimpBoved, objected to an assess mept of $50 per front foot last week. Ie was said an. adjoining property owner of similar unimproved piece of ground only recently refused $250 per front foot

Avery's Letter

Cotton, after an uninteresting opening and the usual backing and filling, took a spurt upward on damage reports from the Carolinas. Exports were 37,542 for the day, which was also encouraging to the bulls.
 There in this much to be said for the bull side at present, and that is, it is likely reporters for the government in Alabama, Georgia, North and South Caro- lima will send in very low condition re- ports for these states influenced by the excessive rains and floods. and the fact that the reporting time comes so close on the heels of these damage reports, that the damage may looklarger than it really is and therefore influence a low percentage figure. .s
 It is an open ~aaestion whether low averages in these states will be great enough to pull the general average down to a point where the report as a whole will be bullish. Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas should show an improvement, and I am of the opinion it will not be extremely bullish, and if the market is run up on this report it,iWill afford a splendid opportunity for | aEt. sales.
