WEAKNESS SHOWN 0N WHEAT MARKET Peace Talk Following Rus- sian Successes Had De-
 pressing Effect

Chicago, July 19.-Wheat showed weak ness today, influenced largely by declin- ing quotations at Liverpool. and by re- newed hints of a chance for peace The market closed weak, shade to %c net lower with September at $1.12A, and De- cember at s1.15Q1. .151s Corn finished h@ ssc off to hc up. oats down H@ssc to %c, and provisions varying from a de- cline to rise of Sc.
 Notwithstanding that black rust reports seemed worse than at any time since the infection was discovered the wheat market started at first to be almost wholly under the sway of bearish cable dispatches. It was said to be the pre- vailing view at Liverpool that North American supplies were large and were likely to increase in the near future. Be- sides the outlook for shipments from Russia in the event of peace being de- clared was mentioned as having become d factor in European estimates of valuoi. Announcements that the Russians had crossed into Hungary, and that the Swiss envoy at Washington had discussed with the American state department the out look for stoppage of hostilities ended further to depress the market here.
 Persistence of the black rust advices led in the last part of the day to some thing of rally in wheat values, all though at no time to above yesterdays s latest figures. The damage reports cov- cred a wide territory in the spring crop states than has heretofore been the case IL was said that the blue stem Wheat as well as the Durum and Marquis varieties had become affected, and that in South Dakota some rust stricken wheat was already being cut as being good for fod- der only Rain in Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois gave the bears an ad- vantage regarding corn The government weekly crop report also was a weaken ing influence. Oats underwent a sag with other cereals.
 Heavy realizing sales by holders acted as a weight on lard and ribs. Packers buying. however was more than offset as to pork. A break in the oil market

 SCORE BIC GAINS
Success of New French Loan Exercised Favorable
 Influence

New York July 19.-Stocks displayed pronounced recuperative power today, specialties of almost all descriptions. par tieularly those under recent severe pres-. sure, scoring average gains of 2 to 8 points, with greater advances in the more volative issues. The rise was brought about by a combination of favorable cir cumstances which included well defined reports of forthcoming war contracts. The apparent success of the new French loan in which dealings on the when ssued' basis were made in the open market, and the weekly reviews of steel trade au- thorities which referred to increasing ton mage of exports, exercised a favorable sentimental influence. Local money con- ditions reflected further ease, both as to call and time accommodations.
 Obviously, advances in the stock list were made largely at the expense of an over-confident bear element, which had extended it's operations to the point where any reversal might prove disastrous. In- dications of urgent covering of short con- tracts were frequent during the session. Munitions and equipments like Bethle- hem and Crucible Steel, the Locomotives.
 
 Pressed Steel Car and the motors and their accessories contributed to the breadth of the trading
 Shipping shares regain much of their former prominence, with advaces of 1 to points for Mercantile Marine preferred ; and United Fruit and 51k for Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies common, with 8 for the preferred. United States Industrial Alcohol re-established itself in speculative favor by an abrupt rebound of 7% points to ll2A on rumors of another profitable contract with the French government.
 United States Steel led the market, al- though making only an extreme gain of lh points. The consensus of opinion is that no extra dividend will be declared at next weeks quarterly meetings.
 Rails were backward most of the day. but Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Reading were in fair demand and Tobac. cos augmented recent advances. Total sales. 455,o00 shares

and boil weevils are reported less active in Texas. Prospects are reported as bril- liant in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas. Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. Ac- cording to the government report only lowlands in Mississippi, Alabama. Geor- gia and South Carolina were damaged by excessive rains and uplands of these states continue promising. It is reported that German interests who have been carrying spot cotton in storage here for the past 15 months. delivered 5000 bales on July contracts. This cotton was bought around the low prices during the fall of 1914. The fact that the Germans are now willing to sell would seem to indicate that they either expect the war to continue considerably longer or feel that prices are fully high enough and that chances are in favor of lower prices. We, ourselves. feel that prices are too high in view of prospects for a large crop and look for an early collapse of the bull position and materially lower prices.
