THE GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, May 16-Weakness de- veloped in the corn market today ow- ing more or less to predictions of a materia increase of arrivals within a week or ten days. The market closed heavy, 1s to 29sc net lower, with July $161% to s1.62 and September $1.55h to $1555s. Oats finished E to IA Hc off and provisions unchanged to soc down. Selling pressure which result ed from the outlook for enlarged re- ceipts of corn was based on advices that planting had been nearly complet. ed in some sections, and that the crop movement depende dto a great ex- tent on the celerity with which field work could be got out of the way. Re ports that 100000 bushels of Argen- tine cor no fexcellent quality contain ing only II per cent of moisture had reached New York tended further to give the bears an advantage in the late dealings, especially as more of i this corn was offered at S1.44 i f. New York via steamer and $1.4O via sailer
 Oats weakened with corn notwith. standing export sales of 100000 bushels.

Talk of German Selling

One of the weak spots in the rail
road department was Canadian Pacific.
The selling o; Canadian was persist
ent. The Street explanation for the
weakness Of the stock, which declined
from 1888 to 154h, and closed Pig
points off at 1862, was fear among
holders over the possibility of Cana
dian being dumped into the market by
German interests. Before the war
Germany was heavy investor in Cana
dian Pacific, purchases for German ac-
count helping to give that issue its
reputation as an international secu-
I!ty. Immediately after the outbreak
Of the war the British government, by
obtaining a complete record of the
numbers Of individual stock certificates
held in Germany, made it. next to i'm.
possible for the German owners to
Fquidate. They managed to get some
through before the blockade closed in,
but it is said a considerable block of
stock is still carried for German ac-
count, either in Germany or Holland.
With Germany restored to her norma al
connections with the outside world by
the early lifting of the blockade, this
stock is expected to come onto the
market Whether there is enough to
be much Of factor remains to be
seen.

Sugar Stocks Strong

Fresh speculative buying appeared
in the sugar stocks again yesterday.
Purchases Of American Sugar and
American Beet Sugar were heavy
enough to send those stocks close to
the top levels reached on the boom of
few weeks ago The sugar market
is said by experts to be in a strong
statistical position. The refiners are
reported to be sold ahead many
months. Indicative OF the situation in
the sugar refining industry is the ex-
perience Of an interest which is seek
ing to obtain round amount Of sugar
for shipment to the Orient This in
terest, in need of 1000 tons Of sugar
went to one Of the largest retners in
the country to obtain this amount, and
was told he could not get delivery be-
fore November. This condition is said
to be quite general.

Finance Fruit
Yield Through
Bank Acceptances
Syndicate to Furnish Cali
fornia Growers $2O,OOO,-
900 to Carry Products ;
Provide for Flour, Too

A plan to lend approximately $780,
100000 in the form of bankers &C
ceptances to California fruit growers
to finance the storage and marketing
of various crops has been adopted, and
$5,OO0,OO already advanced, it was au-
thoritatively learned yesterday.
syndicate Of twelve banking houses
from all parts Of the country, headed
by Bernhard, Scholle e. Co., of New
York, arranged the credit Further
striking developments in the use of
acceptances in new fields are expected
in the next few months.
Acceptances are coming into wider
use in the cotton growing sections, and
the use of the new credit instrument
is being facilitated by the programme
to build new cotton warehouses which
provide standard warehouse receipts
which can be used as security. 1t is
said that flour men are also negotiating
with acceptance bankers for accommo-
dations.
OF the s5,oo0,oo initial instalment
of the loan to the fruit growers, 3d.
100000 is for the California Prune and
Apricot Association and S2,G00,G00 for
the California Raisn Growers Asso-
citation. Other associations have also
sought advances and the products
coming under the plan may later in
cludc dried cherries, figs and walnuts.
The bills, which run thirty, sixty and
ninety days, will appear in the open
market by August l, and the whole
transaction, which will be in the nature
of revolving credit, will be completed
by the end of the current year. The
bills will be secured by Independent
warehouse receipts and bills of lading.
The rate of interest which the paper
will bear was not disclosed. Hereto
fore the fruit growers financed the
moving Of their crops by straight bank
loans, instead of bankers acceptances,
which they are now using for the first
time. The banking syndicate member
in San Francisco is the Bank of Italy,
which will hold the security for the
bills
The Federal Reserve Board, it was
announced, has rulcd that these bills
viii be eligible for rcdiscount. The
actual consummation of the deal was
delayed for some time pending de-
clslon on this point by the board.

Shorts Nervous

What happened in the market was
this: Since Monday the professional
trading element that Aas been largely
dominant in the market since the sharp
dip of a fortnight ago had been work
ing to force further decline. Press
ure had been exerted against Steel
common and the other speculative
leaders, but the results we're slight,
and the market showed great resili-
ercy. So yesterday the shorts grew
nervous, and as the day wore on and
the market stood up strongly, even in
the face of S and 10 per cent call
money, there was begun gradual
covering movement. This became more
active in the afternoon, when prices
jumped forward in striking fashion,
bringing in fresh buying for the ad-
vance, and the closing was strong.

Foreign Credit Problems

European bankers arc beginning to
give concrete thought to the plan for
financing the Old World, which has been
presented to American hnanciers by
Henry p. Dawson, of J. p. Morgan &
Co. A committee, analogous to the
New York committee headed by Mr..

Paris bankers. The European commit

needs of the Continent for raw ma
teriais, machinery, and foodstutfs, ac-
cording to the general programme
The return of President Wilson to
The United States, it is believed. will
act as spur to the bankers in this
country, who seek the neral support
OF the government at Washington. No
significant vclopmcnts in the move
ment to organize the bankers and in
dustrial leaders Of this country into a
consortium are anticipated during the
next ten days. a committee, represent

The Markets
Against the Trend of Money


Technical considerations made for
higher stock market prices yesterday.
In the face Of stiffening money rates
call loans opened and renewed at 8
and 8 per cent for mixed and all in
dustrial loans respectively and closed
at and 10 per cent-the majority of
standard industrial stocks closed
higher. Rails were the exec ption, and
the pressure against this part of the
list waA attributed to fears Of selling
from Europe. In some quarters it was
asserted that Holland had been offer
ing fair sized blocks of Western rail-
road shares.
Sugar issues were prominent, with
American Sugar Refining closing 5
points up. Equipments were strong
on indications that the equipment
manufacturing companies will shortly
receive payment for rolling stock con-
tracted for many months ago by the
Railroad administration. A thing that
helped the whole market was the
strong tone of United States Steel
common, which at 109&4 went into new
ground for the current recovery. On
the recent setback Steel had fallen to
1o21z. On the previous price it
touched 1117s.

preceded the putting into operation of
the "peeging" system, under which
rates we're stabilized around $4.75l u
demand sterling dropped to $3.50. There
are many bankers who look to see stcr-
ling go that low again, if not lower, un-

Drop of Million
Bales i'm Cotton
Crop Indicated
Government Prediction Is
for Yield Of lO.936, 600
Bales; Decrease Of 81
Per Cent i'll Acreage

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Indicated
cotton production in the United States
this year, according to the Government
crop report issued yesterday, is TO-
9S6,O0C bales. The report is based upon
the acreage planted and tho condi-
ton Of the growing plant on June %.
Acreage is put at 33,96O, 600 and the
condition of the crop at 20 per cent
of normal. The estimated yield is
more than a million bales less than
the yield for 1913, which was l2,O40,-
600 bales.
Acreage this year shows a decrease
of ST per cen. from last year, or g.
247 900 acres. The causes of this re-
duction arc said by the Department of
Agriculture to be the agitation early
this year for cutting down OF the
cotton acreage, the scarcity and high
price of labor, and unfavolable plant
ing weather.
The condition of the crop 70 per
cent on June 25 was 30 per cent
lower than it WAS on May % The
average condition OF june % for ten
years has been SOB. Continued heavy
rains. which have delayed cultivation
and permitted the fields to become
foul with grass, have been the main
cause OF the deterioration in the CON
dtion of the crop.

Money and Credit

There was again a shortage of call

rate on mixed loans eased to 6 per
cent, while all industrial loans rose to
10 per cent, The closing rates were
per cent for mixed loans and 10 per
cent for all industrial.
1t was the opinion in banking quar-
ters that by to-day a sufficient portion
of the funds withdrawn to meet cor

ton.

Why Romans Dread Owls,

Some Of the worst things ever said
about the owl came from the elder
Pliny. The Roman naturalist, who
trusted more to others observations
than his, own, and in whose writings
fact andl fiction are often inextrlcably
blended, calls the owl an inausplclous
and fuuereal bird. He Is particularly
severe upon the horned owl, to which
he glps very lugubrious character,
calling II the monster Of the night that
never utters cheerful note, but emIts
4 dofeful shrek or moan. This owl and
the screech-owl were especially alb
horred and dreaded by the Romans as
messengers Of death. As the former
inhabited only deserted and mae
cessible places, Its appearance In cities
was considered very alarming omen.
During the early days of the con-
sulshlp a horned-owl happened to
stray Into the capitol Of Rome, caus.
Ing general CONSERVATION. To avert
the disasters which the round-faced
prodigy. was believed to portend, a lus.
tration or general publication was or
dered. Butler has referred to this In
cident In some amusing lines in HUI

WISE PROVISION OF NATURE
Why the Tip Of Ermine WeaseI's Tail
b Black 10 Explained by
Naturalist.

Most scouts know that the ermine
weasel changes to white on the coming
OF cold weather." says DIR. Z. F. Bige-
low, the Scout naturalist In Boys Life.
William q. Cram tells why the tip
OF the tall is black.
Late In the autumn, or early in the
winter, the ertnine changes from red
dish brown to white, sometimes slight
ly washed with greenlsh yellow or
cream color, and again as brilliantly
white aslanything In nature or art the
end Of the tail, however, remains In
fenselyj black and at first thought It
might be supposed that this would
make sthe animals conspicuous on the
white background Of snow; but in real
ity itfhas just the opposite effect. Place
an epmine on new-fallen snow in such
a way that It casts no shadow and you
will find that the black point holds
your eye in spite Of yourself and that
at q little distance It is quite lmpos-
sible to follow the outline Of the wea-
sci itself. Cover the. tail with snow
and you Gun begin to make out the po-
sition of the rest Of the animal, but as
long as the tip Of the tail Is In sight
you seelthat and that only"
