Commodity Markets
GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. June 26.-Local operators
pressed the selling side of the corn
market tbis morning and the market
was weaker, influenced by an announce
ment that the threatened railroad trou :
Die had been averted and an estimate
for receipts of 225 cars. Dealings
through commission houses were mixed.
Generally, sentiment appeared to be
bearish.
July opened at $1.74at to s1.74,
against $1.75 at the close yesterday.
September started at S1.67A to
Sl.66s, against $1.673i at the close
yesterday. December opened at 81. 40 u
to 81. 40, against $1.5O at the close
yesterday.
Business in oats was small, but the
market was steadier, owing to bullish
crop news, which restricted offerings
and led to some covering by shorts.
Receipts were 73 cars.
July opened u cent higher, at
$1.O31a. September started at S4Mc
to S5c, against S49sc at the close yes
terday, and later sold at S51ac. De-
ccmber started at S01sc to Sic, against
S09sc at the end yesterday.
Receipts of wheat today were %
cars.

New York. June 2G.--In keeping
with previous days of the week. today's
short session of the Stock Exchange was
extremely dull and featurclcss. The nj.
tendance of members was unusuo,,v
small and commission houses reported
an absolute cessation Of outside inter

Oils. chemicals and tobaccos repre-
sentcd the prominent issues with such
rails as Union Pacific. st. Louis and

Several of the steels and equipments
also also inquired in the sluggish movement.
Inc closing was firm. Sales approx
mated 133 900 shares.

terial alteration, despite further gold
arrivals from that center,
1t would be altogether reasonable to
assume that the rank and file inter
ested in the market are less concerned
as to. what the market has done the
past few weeks as to what it may do
in the immediate future. 1t is always
difficult to find the measurements of a
dull period. At this time the task Is
much harder because of the strained
credit situation and high tension of
the money market. There does not
seem to be much hope offered for any
material Improvement in monetary
conditions. in So far az the stock market
is concerned. Cor some time. There are
some, however, who are Of the belief
that after the July disbursements are
completed easier conditions will pre-
vail. This may be true. but any period
OF real easiness in money conditions
can only be short. in view of the prepa-
rations that must Immediately be made
for the crop movement. Material bet
terment, Furthermore, will be consider
ably handicapped by reason of the un-
relieved traffic congestion. which ap-
parcntly is interfering greatly with the
plans for the progl essive deflation of
bank credits.
In looking around. however. there
are to be found quite n number of
hopeful signs, which may directly or
indirectly influence a marked reversal
in sentiment and change the atmos-
phcre of the market world. In the
first place, the behavior of the market
in the last two weeks in the face of
the acute tight money market is ac-
cepted as convincing proof of the in
herent strength of its position, an
undeniable testimony OF the complete
| 1iauidated state of the general list
andsthe entire elimination of the weak :
or surerstructure in sofar as marginal
accounts are concerned. Coupled to
this may be- cited the much improved
outlook of the crops. the growing
confidence in the granting of square

favorable adjustment of the intcrna

Is still an Indifferent factor and is
likely to be secondary until after the
choice of the Democratic standard

success of the Republican candidate
In a nutshell, it is the consensus
Of opinion of recognized observers that
the market is in a position to RESPOND
to any favorable turn in the. genera
situation when it is released from thu
leash of stringent money conditions.
