GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. June 25.-Mixed senti-
ment as to the future and scant
speculative trade made an erratic.
sluggish market on the Chicago Board
lower to II. net higher for wheat
Z to Is higher for corn; unchanged
to X higher for oats and from
lower to 5 higher for provisions.
Wheat began at an advance OF 4
to 2 on buying induced by pessi-
kota and word that the dry area
was spreading into North Dakota and
southern Minnesota. The forecast
for continued dry and warm weather
helped this movement. The buying
was not extensive. however. and when
it died out the market dropped.
Some local experts CONTINUED to en-
phasize crop prospects, but others ar
gued that world business conditions
will prevent any definite upturn. Be
tween these diverse opinions. the
market became foot ball, but IN the
closing periods the usual week end
trading brought a rally. Export de-
mand continued slow.
Continued liberal receipts coupled
with slow eastern trade made corn
easy and trade light. The only De
cided rally came near the end, Wneh
wheat turned. Oats were more lnde-
nendent. advancing on bdllish crop
reports and improved cash demand.

OF PRICES
IN STEEL IS noted
Buyers Not Anticipating
Needs-Pig Iron Quiet.
Copper Dull, Easier.

NEW YORK. June o5.-The market
for steel is dull and easy. Mills are
running at only about 25 per cent
capacity and. with competition Keen
tor what few orders are being placed,
more or less shading of prices is be,
ing resorted to. Buyers are very
cautious and are not anticipating
their needs. At the same time, while
stocks are not accommodating at the
mills. as production is reduced. they
are FULLY adequate, and there is con-
siderable selling by second hands.
which includes government holdings
here and abroad.
Pig iron is also quiet, with orders
confined to very small lots for imme-
date use. Prices are irregular and
ance.
Copper Continues Dull.
Copper has been dull and easier. The
rather better inquiry reported to-
ward the end of last week failed to
develop any actual business of i'm
portance. The continuance of the
British coal strike and uncertainty
of exchange rates stir hold export
business in check. A somewhat SINH
lar influence on domestic business
has probably been exercised by the
unsettled ruling of the grain. securi-
ties and cotton markets. and buyers
generally are operating only from
pressure to sell for spot or prompt
shipment has developed with dealers
and some of the small producers,
shading shipment to about 1915 to
13 for these positions. The larger
producers are not meeting this COM
petition. but are considered practical
ly out of the market, and quotations
for the third quarter now range from
13 to 1880 for electrolytic.

In the zinc market there was con-

RECOVERY IS AT SLOW PACE.
TO HELP HOME MARKET
Declines on Wall Street Drastic, But Are
Inviting to Investors rs-President Harding
Working for Business Betterment.

, recovery in the basic industry. steel
and iron, waits on the ability of the
railroads of the country to do some
thing big in the way Of maintenance
and rehabilitation.
Clearings continue to show decreases
in comparison with a year ago.
Money is not a factor in the situa-
tion. Our reserve banks were never
! in stronger position. although it is ad-
mitted that there are still many
frozen credits to be liqufdated.
Local Securities.
Naturally, there have been some re-
cesSions in prices for local securities
during the past week, but they have
not been important.
There has been no cause for SYM
and bonds and the New York mar
ket. Most of the local securities in
which there is daily trading are pub
lie utilities and all the utility cor
porations of the city are enjoying a
| fairly prosperous year.
Crops are coming on and with these
crops. if nature is bountiful. the agri-
cultural communities will be rehabili-
tated and in a position to buy again.
Thomson & Mckinnon have this
crop letter from Chicago:
There is an increasing belief in
wheat values on the part of the
trade: this belief being based upon
the idea that European requirements
will be equal to last year. while our
crop indicated is little. if any, larger
surplus remaining from this crop as
compared with the large amount in
1920. Friendliness is also derived
from spring wheat territory. Toward
the last of the week it was quite
generally reported that black rust
had made it's appearance. in addi-
tion to which rain is very necessary
in many sections Movement Of the
new winter wheat crop has COM
menced. first offerings being taken
by local mills. at prices fully equal
to terminal markets. Many are of
the opinion that the new crop will
move at once, and in volume for the
reason that the farmers met with
disaster in their holding attitude of
last year and will. therefore. be anx-
the present crop. The financial and
labor situation the world over Is
displayed in the grains by an almost
complete absence of broad invest
'ment demand.
"The new crop Of corn is making
excellent progress in the principal
producing states west of the MiSSiS
sippi river There are complaints of
drought over the belt. because of an
absence of subSoil moisture. The
outlook for the corn may be judged
from the fact that the movement OF
old corn is continuing longer and
larger than had been expected. there
being no appreciable Improvement
in the domestic distributing demand
and foreign cables are disappointing.
The current receipts are 4 drag upon
the market. being taken mainly by
elevators at goodly discounts under
the deferred deliveries.
THE oats crop is not living up to
its early promise. there being nu,
merous claims of thin stand and
short heading. However. the present
outlook as whole is for an average
crop. There is no foreign demand
whatever, and the domestic demand
Is not particularly keen.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Liquidation
