- uue E0~-
Wheat-Liverpool showed considerable
strength today, because of scarcity of
spot wheat and small shipments from
Australia. This news was reflected in
our early market, but thereafter prices
responded to claims of heavy rains in
the Canadian Northwest which suggested
the possibility precipitation this side the
border. 1t was also d fact that he for
eign demand was not urgent while the
country sold the new crop on the ad
vance in prices. The export business
being done is for nearby shipment and
mainly Of Manitobas, there being very
little doing in new crop United States
wheat from which 1t follows that i'm
porting countries are not impressed by
the heat in the Southwest. 1t is begin
ming to develop that the reduction In
total yield in the Southwest by heat Is
not going to be as large as expected.
1t seems, also to be fact that the major
portion OF he spring wheat belt has suf
fcient moisture for some time to come.
We are inclined TO feel that he retro
gression of the crop to date has been
represented by the action of the mar
ket. Therefore, the rather uuimportant
foreign demand and the tendency OF
country offerings OF new wheat to in
crease Will have TO be overcome by ad
verse reports from spring wheat terri
tory II prices are 10 maintain their pres
ent level. We also feel that 1t is not
yet time to be firmly convinced of the
future course Of the market.
Corn and Oats-Poor outlook for the
oats crop and an absence Of rain over
the corn belt have prompted a rather gen
eral demand in both these markets, but
realizing sales were encountered in corn
in fairly large volume and in oats suf-
fcientlv large to fill all demand. We
maintain our feeling there must he con
siderable prospects of a short crop OF
oats This belief Is based upon the fact
that complaints have come from very
wide territory. This being so, we would
not be surprised to see still higher prices
in the future. Corn is decidedly more
problemstical It IS hardly reasonable
to expect that any great damage has
been done 81 his period Of the growth,
but It Is admitted that continuation of
heat and drought would he decidedly
detrimental Ne view corn IS a weather
market and therefore uncertain.
, Provisions WIS NOT much pres
sure on the provision list In response To
the easy tone IN hogs. Domestic trade
on both meats and lard, is normal and
It IL believed that this demand Will
broaden later Ia the season. 1t IS also
expected thar the present run OF hogs
will be finished within the next two OF
three weeks.

June 23--

IF called upon to classify the today's
stock market, it would be rather diff
ficult to do.
few issues in which the short interest
has been over-extended have established
new highs, but these issues are so few
i'll number as to make the backwardness
of the general list more conspicuous.
Fluctuations were very irregular. In
the early trading prices were steady and
business small.
A selling movement followed and then
another rally, though. during the after
noon. the rails became prominent under
huliisb influence being the successful sale
of some of the roads securities.
During the day, the money market re-
versed itself. call funds being scarce and
the rates higher.
There are some conflicting influences
underlying this market and these Will
probably tend to keep the market in an
uncertain position.
Sentiment generally is optimistic. and,
since the recent decline there has been
a distinct tendency toward the enlarge
ment of the public account,
This may soon become an important
and impending labor troubles are not
adjusted.
And Incidentally it would be well to
keep close watch Of developments IN
Europe. where there are some ugly pos
sihilities I'm store II some adjustment Is
not made Of the conflicting national in
forests
We are of the opinion that It would be
q mighty good business policy 20 he on
the lookout here and keep lines within
the bounds Of safety.
