MID-CONTINENT OIL
FALLS TO 81. so BARREL
Crude Price Cut of Is Cents Is
Second in Three Days.

Another reduction of 25 cents a barrel
In the price Of mid-continent crude oil
was made yesterday. the second in three
business days. This latest cut brings
the price OF the product down to $3.50
n barrel. which compares with a quota
ton of 81 barrel week ago to-day.
1t could not be learned yesterday whether
this cut will be followed by a similar
reduction in the quotations for Pennsyl-
vania crude, as was the case when the
first reduction was announced last Sat
urday.
Too much crude is being produced at
the present time" Harry r. Sinclair.
chairman of the Sinclair Consolid ated
OIL Corporation. declared yeste rday In
commenting on the latest reduction "In
a personal inspection of all the i'm
portant fields of the country I was i'm
pressed with the fact that in some
places entire fields are practically shut
down. others are partly shut down and
new fields have been discovered which
are adding many thousands OF barrels
daily to storage stocks
actual stocks of crude oil have In
creased 100.000000 barrels In about a
year. We have been storing crude oil
steadily and will continue TO do all we
consistently can To take care of the
situation. In my opinion this summer
will see the greatest gasoline cNnsump-
ton in the history of the cocr try. but
gasoline cannot carry the full burden"

VARIETY OF TRENDS
IN WHEAT MARKET
Closing Prices Unsettled, With
Fractional Gains and
Losses Divided.

CHICAGO. July 19-Uneasiness over
the rail strike outlook tended to bring
about slightly higher average of prices
for wheat to-day. despite unusually
bearish conditions for the spring crop.
The close was unsettled at nc. de-
cline to sc net gain, with September
ss1.12M1.121% and December $114k.
Corn finished unchanged to NC. lower,
oats unchanged to X 90 nc. up and pro-
visions from 10c. decline to IL 130c. ad-
vance.
Wheat traders who yesterday had
been optimistic as to likelihood of a
quick ending OF the rail strike were
early buyers to-day as q result OF the
absence of any definite developments
indicating progress toward settlement.
In addition. considerable buying which
took place was ascribed to milling and
export account a fairly good business
| with Europe was said to have been
done. Offerings to arrive from the
country were represented. however, as
OF more liberal volume than has been
the rule of late
The fact that crop news from the
spring wheat belt was the best so far
this season did a good deal to check
upward swings In the market and keep
the range Of prices narrow. Cutting of
spring wheat is expected to be under
way by the end OF this week and to be
general by next week. Railway officials
said that Notwithstanding the strike
they were preparing to haul a crop of
record proportions.
Corn was relatively easy. owing TO
auspicious weather conditions
Oats were governed chiefly by the ac-
tion OF wheat.
For the most part provisions were
higher. In line with hog values.

DRESS GOODS JOBBERS
DISCUSS FUTURE TRADE
Will Continue Cautious Policy
IN Buying.

After having enjoyed n spring busi-
ness 100 per cent. better than last year,
the dress fabrics jobbing trade is now
confronted with a situation which re-
quires increased optimism. Francis X.
Walsh of the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Com
pany of st. Louis. told the Jobbers AS
sociation of Dress Fabrics at It's mid
year convention held yesterday at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
Merchandise prospects are undoubt-
edly bright" he declared. but some OF
the big Eastern mills are closed on
account of the wage question. This will
rrake n shortage on many desirable
fabrics and delays In shipment. There
are also labor disputes In other in
dustries, with an unwarranted delay in
tariff legislation. all of these being a
hindrance to successful businesses. 1t is
up to us TO adjust ourselves to the cir
cumstances and endeavor to make this
coming season good one"
Jobbers Will continue TO pursue a eau
tlous policy in buying goods for next
spring. II is believed. Crepes, ratines,
tissues, and voiles will be the popular
dress fabrics for next season. according
to opinions expressed yesterday. The
jobbers were advised to concentrate on
these descriptions for the time being.
The silk group OF the Association held
a separate session. at which F.B Pat
ton OF the Pittsburgh Dry Goods Com
pany, cautioned the buyer against antic-
ipating his wants too far in advance.
The gathering adopted resolutions favor
ing the policy that manufacturers should
not sell less than one piece OF silk below
$3.50 q yard. This action was taken in
an effort TO eliminate the practice OF
cutting up small orders Tor the trade.

PREDICTS TRADE EXPANSION.
National Bank of Commerce Sees
Greater Business in Fall.

A moderate expansion of business dur
Ing the autumn and winter is predicted
by the National Bank of Commerce in its
monthly review OF general business con-
ditions. Money Is cheap: the crop out
look is excellent: commodity prices are
rising and with few exceptions stocks of
raw materials and manufactured prod
ucts are not larger than necessary to
bridge the normal period between pro-
duction and consumption. the bank points
out.
Except for strikes" the review goes
on, there Is little idleness. Production
has expanded steadily since the begin
ming of the year. and as yet the usual
midsummer dullness has been little felt"
Three factors however. may retard
progress somewhat, the bank declares.
They are the disposition of the buyer to
be cautious and to economize the labor
situation and the European situation.
There is every ground to expect a rea-
sonable volume of fall business at mod
crate prices, II Is asserted. but there is
no basis for expectation of such volume
at high prices or Of boom business at
any price.
