GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, July 3-Radically bear
ish sentiment regarding corn and
oats manifested itself today on
change. Discouraged holders pressed
the selling and there was sharp
break in values. Corn closed nervous,
~ to 6k net lower. with September
1.63A to 1.63A and December 151Z
to 1.52. Oats lost 1A to as. In
provisions the outcome varied from
100 decline to As advance.
At intervals the corn market was
almost bare of support, and the July
delivery in particular seemed to be
without friends. July dropped nearly
Z cents, selling for the first time this
season at discount under Septem-
ber. Prospects of continued liberal
receipts did much to put bulls at
disadvantage. and SO. too, did rains
and high temperatures that made
field conditions superb. Besides, a
good deal of notice was taken of COM
ment on money scarcity and the prob
lem of financing the new crop; for
the most part. the only buying which
developed came from shorts who were
evening up for the week end and
for the holiday on Monday.
In the oats market forecasts of
showers more than counterbalanced
any fear of damage from hot weather.
Big packers were free buyers of
lard and ribs, both Of which articles
advanced in price. Pork, however, re-
manned weak.

STOCKS
NOTEWORTHY FEATURE
Recuperative Power Manifested on
Moderate Buying-General
Market Conditions.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The note
worthy feature of the week in the
securities market. apart from it's ex-
traordinary inertia, was the recu-
later dealings on moderate buying OF
the popular speculative stocks.
This was true in equal measure
of the bond market, although the de-
mand for those issues probably ema-
mated to a considerable extent from
investors or beneficiaries of the
heavy midyear interest and dividend
payments.
Disinterested observers regarded
these forward movements as fur
ther sign of the markets technically
weak or oversold condition. This
view evidently was shared by many
of the shorts. whose covering opera
tions gave decided momentum to the
rebound.
Big July Disbursements.
Although July disbursements will
release some S350000.000 of cash, the
rigid attitude of the Federal Reserve
Board and financial interests COOP
Grating with that organization re-
mains unaltered. Proof of this was
seen in the rise of commercial paper
rates to per cent-a quotation
without. precedent here since 1907.
Many new, capital offerings are un-
der negotiation. also several foreign
undertakings. Few. if any. of these
are likely to be consummated. 1T is
believed until ample provision has
been made for crop movements and
much needed railroad equipment.
Stringency in London.
Latest advices from abroad point
to greater stringency in London and
on the continent This weeks state
ment of the Bank of England was
conspicuous for an abrupt decline in
liability reserves to the smallest per-
centage in more than half a CEN
tury.
Conditios at home remain obscured
by recurrent transportation troubles
and further reduction of activity in
many lines of manufacture. Crop
prospects are favorable, however, and
conservative opinion leans toward
lower commodity prices and gradual
trade readjustment.

Precisely how much of the metal
will be received is still uncertain,
authorities differing in that matter,
but it will undoubtedly be consider
able. as the receipts already in hand
suggest. The first shipments of gold
week. were not for account of the
British government. but the condi-
tions which made it worth while to
import the metal on private account
will make it worth while to bring
more of it into the country for the
maturities referred to.

little direct effect upon the quota

difficult conditions in Germany, the
higher quotation of the German mark
has continued, and there seems rea-
son to believe that it will be kept up

orS In German securities.
Exchange More Stable.
Exchange has undoubtedly become
partly stabilized at something like
existing rates for the time being, and
though there may be considerable
changes at almost any time, con-
tingent upon the arrival of events
which have been long awaited, such
as the settlement of the indemnity
question or the assumption of a new
phase of American financing of for
eign countries, these will be far more
easily calculated in their effect than
many of the factors which, within
recent months, have been influential
in establishing exchange quotations.
There has been a renewal of interest
in the foreign situation on the part
of financiers. but the lack of encour-
agement from the banking authori-
ties for the forms of foreign financing
recently proposed by bankers has re-
tarded progress along the lines thus
far suggested"

STRIKE OFF, STEEL AIDED;
GENERAL METAL MARKET

NEW YORK. July 3-The shut
down and curtailment of operations
in numerous sheet and tin plate mills
by strike has been temporarily
averted by the order of union officials
that workers affiliated with it con-
tinue at their jobs until some settle
ment is reached with producers in
conference at Columbus. Ohio.
Numerous mills are closing down
because of accumulations of finished
products caused by can and coal
shortage and rail congestion. There
is little change in the market.
Pig Iron Steady; Advances.
Pig iron prices continue a steady
upward movement. The exceptional
demands of steel mills for steel-mak-
ing iron has stiffened the market to
a level considered a high peak for

ness and reduced inquiries. A steady
advance this week in London tin as
well as firm silver and sterling mar
kets helped the trade here.
