With only one game needed to
cinch the title, everything was set for
the $1,000 fans inside League park and
the 769,748, who can't get inSto fur
nish the music while Iris Speakers
entitled, THE Brooklyn Blues"
AS result of their mental state,
the fans wended their way to the
park more in the spirit of preparing
for celebration than with the inten-
ton of lending their moral support to
the Indians. They haeI.:y knew what
to expect in the way of game today
SO far as the mechanics were con-
cerned. There could be no more
striking contrast than was furnished
by yesterdays match and yesterday
was pitching duel.
Cleveland's defensive and offensive
work was wonderful
With the count one and one in the
sixth Burns caught low curve on the
end of his bat and drove it on line
toward the left field bleachers within
an inch or two of the top of the low
board wall and then bounced back into
the field. AS Zach Wheat ana Hy
Myers scrambled after it, Speaker
rounded third on high, tore for home.
Burns pulled up at second.
That was the best chance the crowd
had to yell all afternoon and the fans
made the most Of the opportunity.
They began getting up steam when the
ball was in mid-air and by the time
Speaker crossed the plate, they were
hitting on all cylinders.

Wheat-There has been less buying OF
wheat futures by cash interests than re-
Gently, but 1t Is to be noted that there
is a material absence of hedging sales,
which supports the previous statements
that the country is not satisfied with pre-
vailing prices. There are indications OF
general rains which viii facilitate fail
pIowing. Premiums for cash wheat are
slightly easier in recognition Of the re-
cent advance in freight rates The
amount of export business already done,
the liberal clearances In the past two
months and the attitude of the producer,
all argue against ideas of lower PRICES
Corn-A moderate increase in move
ment from the country is expected to APP
pear next week. This is one of the chief
arguments used by those who believe in
lower prices for the new crop. 1t would
seem as though this idea was a little
strained in view of the fact that new crop
deliveries are full 40 cents under the spot
market, likewise considerably below what
is conceded to be it's feeding value. SHOW
ers and cooler is the prediction for TIE
entire west which, by the way, Is not
desirable at the present moment. IheIe
are no really worthwhile deveiop!nents
in the situation, Out the naEkeS SoAlAnue
to present an oversold condition ana
would respond readily to adverse crop
news.
Oats-Southern distributing trade con-
tinues overbidding Chicago in the oats
belt 1t is probable that the nTst rush
of the new crop Is about over. The mar
ket has the merit Of being relatively
cheap and displays steady tone despite
a lack of interest.
Proyisions-A rather active demand mas
developed for loose lard, prices OF same
being relatively higher. There are more
advices of a general betterment IN the
cash business. The deferred deliveries
show a rather healthy tone.

(By Thomson & McKinnon)


There was nothing in the news of the
day to attract particular attention to
the stock market.
AS a result the newspaper items were
bearish when applied to the stock mar
ket
The prospect of a strike on the Brook
Ign transit lines scattered reports or
unsatisfactory trade conditions, an in
creased number of commercial failures
and yesterdays furry in the money mar
ket, ali had a natural tendency to Gre
ate doubt as to the markets stability.
There can be little doubt but that gen
eral business is undergoing a drastic
change with prices uncertainty as the
underlying influence; so that under such
of a material increase in public pRrtici-
patton in the stock market, especially
since the money supply continues I'M
certain with a bulge in the interest rate
every time the market has a moderate
advance.
There is, however, another side to the
proposition: the conditions which are
today so plain were anticipated in the
stock market many months ago and this
was the reason for all the liquidation
we have had; so that everything today
that is bearish must be considered in
relation to the revised level Of values
that prevail in the stock market; and
since there is a likelihood of money
conditions improving and business grad
unlly reaching 4 more stabilized basis,
we are less inclined to take a pes
simistic view of the future and feel that
on weak markets conservative purchases
are as much in order as sales on strong
markets.
