Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, June 9.-This is the
in between season period both in
trade and finance, and the markets OF
the past week have moved with the
of such a time.
The mercantile reviews lay stress
upon the fact that buyers are holding
off as long as they feel they can. in
order to get a better line upon con-
sumptive requirements. Had there
been excessive stocking-up with
goods. this slackening of the new
demand might have involved a much
more important decline in prices than
has actually occurred.
But the main noint is that the rush
of buying in the early part of the
year was not buying to provide for
future neesd, but to replensih sup
plies, which. for the previous year
and a half. had been allowed to fall
dangerously low.
Hence the present condition in i'm
portant lines Is that consumers win
before long be forced into the mar.
ket to cover their wants for the
third and fourth quarters OF the year.
In the meantime. industrial plants

them busy.
No Slump i'm Prospect
Apart from the seasonal slowing
down which always comes with the
hot weather, there appears no likli-
hood even of temporary slump be-
tween the time when old orders are
used up and new orders are coming
in to take their places.
Even in the steel trade. where, until
recently, there was more doubt than
in other directions, the situation is
shaping itself in support Of the pre-
diction made some time ago by Judge
Gary, that while no boom was TO be
expected business would continue in
very fair volume for the remainder
of the year at least.
Farm Buying Important Factor.
in former times the question of
erops was uppermost at this par
ticular season. Now it is not the
size Of the harvests that is the i'm
portant thing. but the prices which
the farmers of the country are TO
receive. With production costs high
and with the export demand below
normal. owing to the unsettled con-
ditions abroad. it is better that we
should have moderate crops, which
can be sold at a fair profit than
bumper crops that would have to be
sold for little or no profit.
Inasmuch as the buying power of
the agricultural regions is the most
important single consideration for the
business outlook and for the financial
market. too. We are actually in a
state where high crop estimates
would not be welcome.
Certainly there is no wish for q
return to the situation of three years
ago. where the farmers were using
their surplus corn for fuel, because

poor fellow who has my sincere
sympathy, but who is manifestly I'M

Norris created quite a stir here
when he addressed the court during
his trial, and Mrs. Fowler, one of
the defendants in the suit just filed
came into prominence when she ad-
monished the court that Norris wore

required to remove this while he ad
dressed the court. Norris on the
stand denied that he ever wore such
belt, or that he had claimed any
supernatural abilities of any kind.
Norris is a member of number
OF fraternal organizations and while
herd wore a large button indicating
his membership in these, besides
making known his connection to sew
eral members of the different fra

member, but none of these took any
action to prevent his Imprisonment
or TO secure his release, so far as
published accounts of the affair in

pear to be greatly worried about
the matter when interviewed by a
Times-Recorder man this morning.
q wish that Norris would pay me

reached Lagrange again. That IS,

sent me, none of which | regarded
as intelligent in their composition.

proviso that if he were crazy it
