Conditions On the farm are against the move
ment Of corn, and IN addition to this the eov-
ernment has made an order that wheat and o.t.
be loaded ahead Of corn.
There was little on which to buy oats tod.x
and resting cots showed declines Of n and 4
cant. Ths weakness sh0un in corn sftsr t1e

The buying power was half hearted in charac-

Such Basic Change.
ny BROADAN WALL.

New York, July l.-Gloony weather
caused professionals to take a gloomy
view Of the stock market today. and
so because of the depresa-
ing report on profiteering made by the
Federal Trade Commission. N
The military situation continues to
improve, and there 10 nothing but good
news from the crops. No reason was
presented for the reaction in Wall
Street today, except the sentimental
one that the critical clash in France
may come any day.
United states Steel showed a net
loss Of sX points.
Mexican Petroleum lost more than ..
as did the leading tobacco shares.
Coppers were down q point and all
the rails were heavy.
About the only stocks to show vi
tality were General Motors, Distillers
and Beet Sugar.
Announcement that Congress would
probably provide for government own
ership of the telephone and telegraph
lines had little effect ON Western
Union and American Telephone. The
former dropped a point. and the lat
ter advanced more than a point.
from government ownership for both

the immediate future be years of war
or peace. Both companies are now
we'll managed, and there will be no
writing off necessary OF the millions
OF useless assets such as once bur-
dened Western Union.
Beet Sugar was put up by the shorts

enough money to justify its regular
dividends, but no extras need be ex-
pected.
Some attempt was made to use rail-
road reports as q depressing argument
on the market, but that Is hardly fair
The government has not been In con-
troll Of the RAILROADS long enough u
make that control felt, and conditions
are such that gains and losses do not
represent the real business situation.
This readjustment cannot be conf
plete for a year or more, and must
necessarily make some startling
changes In railroad net earnings. Once
the readjustments are made. 1t will be
impossible ever to restore the condi-
tions that existed before the war be-
gan.
While Wall street on the surface Is
somewhat agitated over the fighting
in France, military authorities are be-
ginning TO believe that the real allied
offensive will be through Austria. For
that reason, they welcome the show of
national spirit in Russia.
The financial world does not believe
that any Russian government will CO.
operate with the Huns. With Russia
fighting again and with Austria de-
stroyed, the Turks would be cut off
and forced to accept any terms that
the allies cared to grant. Then the
German could be- confined In their
own country and subdued with a min
imum of loss to the allies
