Trading in Stocks Light.

Trading in stocks was light and
changes only fractional. Foreign ex
change rates did not move.
Now. however, comes a pause, in
which every observer is awaiting the
next turn of events. The Italians, hav-
ing dealt their crushing blow, are
halting on the west bank of the river,
while the allied armies in France are
watching for the anticipated renewal
of the German offensive. In the Amer
lean crop belt the perfect conditions
of month ago have been replaced by
much more unfavorable distribu-
tion of heat and moisture. and the
fortunes of the harvest have become
dependent, more than at any previous
time in the growing season of 1918,

STOCK MARKET PRICES
ARE MARKING TIME
Trading in Stocks Light-War
News Cheering and Crops Will
Bear Watching.

NEW YORK, June 29.-No change
of any consequence occurRed in prices
on the stock exchange today, though
prices receded at the last. The mar
ket's atmosphere was that of mid
summer week end, and the news. such
as it was, gave no initiative. Indeed,
Wall street as we'll as the rest of the
community has observed that events
also are for the present marking
time-a fact perhaps best illustrated
by the sudden appearance in the cable
dispatches of those imaginative tales,
such as the murder of the czar and
the overthrow of the bolsheviki by
korniloff acting with the Germans
whicn are the usual product of i'm
patient correspondents when nothing
is actually happening. Reflection of
the counter revolution" story has
been restricted to the market for the
Russian short-term gold bonds of
1916. These have advanced 10 points
in the past two days.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE FRENCH FRONT. June 27.-1t
is Impossible to pick out the most
conspicuous deed of bravery among
the hundreds reported in the days of
fighting since the Americans helped
to stop the German advance west of
Chateau Thierry. Fighting is still
going on while reports from the
earlier combats continue to come in
Some of the accounts are from pri-
vate soldiers, the officers who usually
record such deeds having fallen. Sew
eral hundred men have been recon-
mended in official orders to the COM
mander-in-chief for the medal of
honor, the distinguished service cross
and the French croix de guerre. The
recitals of heroism which follow are
merely typical of many others. and
are not given because they exhibit
exceptional bravery or are thought
to be the most deserving of place
In history.
When Col a. W. Catlin of 18th
street northwest. Washington. D. C..
the first officer to be wounded fell,
Surg. Wray S. Farwell of 5S3 River
side drive. New York. accompanied by
Serst. Sidney Colford, jr., of SO Wall
street, New York. crawled out under
machine gun fire to the side of their
fallen commander. While Farwell
stanched the colonerS wounds as he
lay on the builet-swept field. which
was also placed under heavy shell
fire, Colford recrossed the field three
times for a stretcher. which he finally
brought. The wounded officer was
then carried back.

War News Cheering.

AS to the war news, the financial
attitude at present is unquestionably
more hopeful than at any time since
the German drive" began in March
The removal of apprehension regard
ing Italy, the fact that every week s
delay in resumption of the German
ofensive meant thousands of Ameri-
can reinforcements to the other side,
and, by no means least of all, the vir-
tual confession of the German for
eisn secretary to the reichstag that
hopes of a conclusive German victory
in 1918 must be abandoned-an these
things have pointed in one direction.
The crops will bear close watching.
The extraordinary temperatures of 100
degrees or thereabouts which have
now persisted for two weeks continu-
ously in the middle west-at the very
time of the abnormally cool weather
IN the north and eas|have as yet
done no great harm.
During the next few weeks, how
ever, different set of crops will have
to be considered. and continuance of
the past fortnight's conditions would
be highly disturbing.
