FURTHER DECLINE

The fresh weakness of Philadelphia
Rapid Transit, which declined to 1664
or q within the low price of 10. touched
several weeks ago. was the outstanding
feature of the local market. Fresh
liquidation appeared shortly after the
opening. which forced the price down
to 1919. against Is last nights closing
level. Little support was Forthcoming
until near the close when buying orders
carried the price back to 49, Increasing
uneasiness over the dividend accounted
for the renewed selling and approx

With bank funds for stock marke,
purposes virtually reaching a vanisbint

criticism has been made as to the atti

BUMPER
CROPS IN WEST
High Prices of Grains Element
Of Strength in General
Business

Chicago, July 17.-Crop prospects all
through the big surplus producing grain
states are excellent. The favorable
weather of the last few weeks has i'm
proved oats and corn to remarkable
extent, and also has resulted in better
promise for winter wheat. Spring wheat
outlook SO far Is good, and, barring
black rust developments. will help bring
up the total wheat crop to an ample
total. The high prices the farmers are
obtaining for all Of their grains Is an
element Of strength in the general pros,
porous conditions which still prevail
throughout the West.
Mail order houses report an excellent
volume Of business running considera +.
bly, larger than n year ago, although still
under the big volume Of the early
months of the year. Wholesale houses
state the dry goods business shows a
large gain over last year, with buyers
present in large numbers. Retail clear
ance sales so far In July have been sue
cessful. Merchants, however, are max :
ing commitments only as their needs
warrant them.
Somewhat pessimistic reports are re-
ceived from the steel works and also
from other industrial concerns in re-
gard to the slow improvement in traffic
conditions, which are serving to keep
down production, as II is impossible to
make shipments fast enough in many
cases. On the other hand, the priority
orders in favor Of grains and coal have
been effective in stimulating the move
ment Of both commodities, 30 that, in
the long run, these orders doubtless will
prove beneficial. Preparations are now
going ahead for moving the new crops.
Building operations are being held
back by the delays in obtaining sup
plies. Labor, however, continues to be
