Curb Market
BY STUART p. WEST
Copyright, 1891

Wall Street, New York, June II.
There was a sharp falling in
dealings on the curb exchange to-
day Commission house business
was smaller than in some time and
professional traders confined their
operations generally to evening
their accounts over Sunday. Price
movements were irregular. Early
advances were followed by moder-
ate selling and are reactionary in
tendency. A feeling of nervousness
continued.
Marland of Mexico was one of the
most active issues. Urgent buying
as a result of the Mexican financial
success put MARYLAND up nearly two
points. Mexican Seaboard issues
moved in opposite directions. The
old stock rose rather sharply in the
early dealings and then reacted,
while the voting trust certificates
after an initial loss rallied. Cities
Service Oils advanced several
points before profit taking caused
a reaction. Dealings in the Stan
dard Oils wefe smaller. Price
movements were wide and at times
erratlc. Imperial Oil of Canada
scored an overnight gain of IL
points, while Standard Oil of In
diana dropped rather sharply for a
time.
Increased interest was shown in
the Tobacco Products, when issued,
shares. The common, after moving
up nearly two points, reacted quite
sharply, while the "A" shares on
moderate buying orders also rose
nearly two points in the first half
hour. Beechnut displayed a firm
tone. Durant motors continued in
supply because of the increased
capitalization. Lincoln Motors
started higher, but receded in sym
pathy with Durant.
Mining shares were easier, with
floor traders selling. Another drive
was made against Consolidated
Copper, which reached a new low
mark again. Cortez Silver, howev-
er. was quite active near its high
est.
Activity in the Mexican issues
featured the bond market. The
tours moved up sharply at first,
but then reacted on moderate sell
ing.

The weeks run of $4,000 cattle

last week. Medium beeves show
a 15Q40c cut and grassy stock,
both steers and butcher cattle, are

sharp cuts in lamb prices, suffered
declines ranging from $175@2.25.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, June 17-Selling to an
ticipate much of the enlarged ar
rivals of wheat in the southwest,
where the harvest is nearly general,
has carried prices downward this
week in the market here. Com
pared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was rs cents to 1-2c off,
corn 1-Sc lower to 1-3c higher, oats
varying from &c decline to a shade
advance, and provisions at differ
ences which ranged from a setback
of 12Q15 cents to a rise of 10
cents.
A falling of values in the wheat
market went to point where the
question was seriously pressed as
to whether returns were already
below the cost of productions. Brit
ish dealers, however, were reported
as cancelling purchases and bears
were contending that a bumper do
nestle crop of winter wheat ap-
pesred to be almost c certainty. At
this juncture, news of excessive
heat in the west-~and southwest, to-
gether with discovery of black rust
northwest, tended to rally the mar
ket somewhat. Word of premature
ripening of wheat in parts of Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Missouri, be
came a special source of anxiety
Export business which broaden
ed out on the declines in the wheat
market had something of a reas-
surfing influence on holders as the
week drew to a CLOSE About two
million bushels were said to have
been taken for Europe during one
period of As hours. Gossip was
current that this particular pw-
chase disposed of the largest sin
gle accumulation of wheat which
was delivered here in May and
which has since been acting as a
weight on the Chicago market
Corn was sustained in price by
evidence of continued rural de-
mand for feeding. On the other
hand liberal supplies made the oats
market sag.
Provisions were governed mainly
by changes IN the price of hogs.

WHEAT TRADES
SLOW; HARD TO
HOLD ADVANCES
tBy Consolidated Press,

Chicago, June I7-Trads IN
wheat was slow and this aeeounted
for the frequent big changes in thor
price trend. There was enough.
buying and lack of pressure at the
start to force a moderate advance
in prices. This advance was diff
cult to hold, however, as the mar
ket seemed to sink under its own
weight. Commission houses had
buying orders in July at S110 and
every time the price reached that
level shorts were driven to cover
and prices bulged again. There
was good buying by Armour houses
during the last hour which was
party responsible for the late up
turn Crop news was better and
the cooler weather with showers
tended to relieve apprehension. The
bearish factor Of the day was the
heavy movement in the southwest
and the big receipts at Kansas City.
Cash demand for wheat was quiet
and local export brokers said the
day was more quiet than for some
time past. Wheat closed L to q C
higher on buying credited to a big
eastern trader and supposed to be
taking profits on short wheat. July
closed at $1.11% a =; Sept, $l.12l&
as Dec, $1.l5 u Ole.
Corn was affected by the trend
of wheat. One of the leading longs
started the market higher but there
was pressure from other locals and
prices eased. Southwest houses
sold December. The late rally in
wheat caused some short cover
ing. Sales of $4,000 bushels of corn
was made TO go to store. Crop
news was generally favorable.
Shipping demand for corn was
light Market closed unchanged to

Wall Street. New York, June IT.
Interest was divided today be-
tween the Mexican debt settls-

for the recent Z to 10 point de-

other hand the promise of gradual

along with the reduction of regu-
lar interest distribution from jan
uary next would seem fully to war

Of Friday morning. In this in
stance, however. the movement
was not due so much to the Mexi-
can agreement as it was to the
discovery of valuable oil producing
wells in an entirely new territory.
Weakness in the exchanges as
has been the case along, centers in
French francs which dropped be-
low the $40 cent level as compared
with $40 just prior to the breaking
off of the German loan conference
and 935 in April before the gath
ering at Genoa. German marks
around 80 were very close to their
absolute bottom, while sterling at
s443l2 was of Sc in the, pound
from its recent high. These de-
ciines are of course the aftermath
Of the bankers conference at
Paris, which failed because of
French opposition and reflects un-
tquestionably international banking
opinion that without a loan, Ger
many's ability 70 carry out the
separations program is altogether
doubtful.
In the last half hour of the stock
market steel shares took the lead
and their advance was reflected all
through the list. The important
thing about the market of the day
was the stoppage of liquidation, the
result of which was that the trad
ing element operating on the short
side decided that it was time to
take in some of their contracts.

mand for standard print cloths was
evident in the drygoods market to-
day and prices generally held firm.
Traders were wary of the raw cot
ton market as they have been all
week, confined their business to
covering operations. Prices for
64x6O's and 6Sx72's were fully
maintained, however, with very lit
tie tendency to shade at second
hands. Sheetings were steady with
no great bulk of sales and interest
was lacking in pajama checks,

The raw silk market was slow
although the strength of prices was
not endangered.

been sold somewhat under present
figures and profit taking sales we're

''Not only do the minority step

lars to the railroads each year, the
majority members continued.

other country when the ordinary
rules of common sense and business

instance in which these laws have
been thrown overheard and re-
placed by fine-spun Socialistic
theories, is found in Russia, and the
result there is not one that this

MEXICAN STOCKS.

The principal response to the

lean government bond or in Mexi-

the stock of American companies
which had interests in Mexico.
MEXICAN Petroleum had another
spectacular advance. The Ameri-
can Smelling moved forward for
a time. although subsequently los

about National Railways of Mex

the foreclosure privilege from the

thus removing any immediate fear
or an assessment
However, in the end this real
road cannot be rehabilitated with
out lot of new money and to OBJ
tain such loan would in all prob

owner of all common stock, or

the session and dropped back a
point. The fact that the Mexican
finance minister is to remain in
this city to take up the question

points on Mexican Petroleum. But
of more consequence was the de-
velopment of valuable oil bearing
