WHEAT RELEASES AS OTHERS GAIN
Short Crop Talk Causes Strong Demand For -
 Corn l

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Spectacular price gains in corn and other grain than wheat were witnessed here today, whereas wheat underwent a setback. Wild rushes to buy corn resulted from talk of short crop this year even with favorable conditions throughout the rest of the seeason. September. December and May deliveries of corn reached new high price records for 1924, as did all deliveries of rye and oats. Corn finished unsettled at IA to 35sc net advance, December 9SSsc to 9SBc, and May $1.00. Wheat closed nervous, Ac to 15sc down, oats vary ing from 1c decline to gain of 2%c. and provisions showing a rise of 2Ic to 60c decline to a gain of 23asc. and pro- visions showing a rise of 27 to 60 cents.
 Corn, oats and rye came in for more attention than in a long time. Many traders had been out in the country Sunday, and had come back impressed with the lateness of the corn crop, despite recent favorable weather. In consequence the demand for corn ex- banded rapidly and with offerings un- usually scarce and with hog values on the advance the corn market scared al- most a full cent above $1.O0 for May delivery. Heavy profit taking sales led only to moderate reactions in the corn market.
 Wheat rallied in sympathy with corn, but failed to recover fully. from early declines due to reports of better weather in the Canadian northwest and unre- responsiveness. Immense receipts at Kansas City and an increase of 2 261 = GOO bushefs in the United States wis ible supply total accounted also as a weight on wheat prices.
 Buying of oats was especially heavy near the end of the day. Bullish pre- dictions from big trader, who has been active of late in the oats market, had much to do with the upward mo- mentum of the market prices. Rye owed it's strength largely to it's rela- tive cheapness as a substitute for the wheat. Provisions ascended with hogs and corn and commanded new high rec ord prices for the season.

BONDS RALLY STOUTLY Reports Of Crushing Of
 Revolution Sends
 Issues Upward

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Bond prices forged slowly ahead in today's mod erately active trading, which was fea- tured by a rally in Brazilian issues on the reported crushing of the Sac Paulo revolution. An active demand for public utility and several individual in- dustrial liens developed, but rail is- sues encountered profit taking after an early display of strength.
 The days most significant develop ment in investment circles lay in the ready subscription of new issues, which totalled more than $50,000,000 a fig ure exceeding the entire volume of last week. Offerings of two Canadian na- tional railways issues, aggregating al- most $30,0O0,000 brought a good re- sponse.
 The 6 per cent bonds of the public service corporation of New York, of which a $20,000000 issue was sold to- day, commanded a premium on the open market. The lives, which recently were strengthened by alteration of the company's financial structure, added another two points to their gain
 Advances of the Brazilian issues ranged from one to about three points. Included were the Rio de Janeiro g, Sac Paulo Ss Brazilian government 9s and Central Railway Is, all e,h, f are expected to benefit by thc +s.tf5g of the insurrection.

 SLOWS COTTON Many Big Traders Be- come Leaders In Sell
 ing Movement

NEW YORK, July 2S.-With cotton virtually at the soc level today, there was a pronounced dispositian to take profits. Many of the big traders. who have been pulling the market for a week or more past, with BOG in view, were lenders in the selling movement. As a result the market was very ire gular throughout the day and closed 15 points higher to 35 points net lower.
 The market opened firm at net ad- vance of % to 36 points. There was support from Wall Street, the west and Liverpool based on continued dry weather in the southwest over Sunday and a strong Liverpool market. Even tually, the demand ran October con- tracts up to 2o.97c and December to 29.10c, at which level the makret was 62 to 65 points above Saturdays close. December and later months recorded new high prices for the present move ment. There was more disposition to sell, however, than has been seen in some time past, and at, midday, when private predictions were received from New Orleans to the effect that rains seem probable over the southwest, the market had 6 severe break of 20 to 50 points. Irregular rallies followed be- cause tho detailed weather reports tailed to confirm private advices of rain in Texas and Oklahoma, but each upturn met liberal selling and in the afternoon October declined as low as 20.23 and December to 28.36c, or [ to 12 points net lower. Although show CTS were officially predicted in the southwestern forecast it was con- sidered by many that selling pressure during the day was due more to the fact that cotton had reached the BOG level, than to any prospect for improve ment in Texas weather. 4M,

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK. July 2s.-Raw sugar declined 1-16c today, to the basis of 5.09c for Cuban, duty paid. Sales were 15,O00 bags of Cuban, prompt shipment, to a loca lrefiner.
 Early advances of to points in raw futures on Wall street buying, inspired by reports that Russia was facing a famine in sugar, were followed by set backs under trade selling. The de- cline in the spot market was a feature of the late reaction, with final prices unchanged to points net higher. Sep tember closed 3.40c; December, 3.39c; March, 3.20c, and May, 3.3oc.
 Business in refined was lightt, with prices unchanged at 6.4oc to 6.75c for fine granulated.

Heavy Buying Of United States Steel Common
 Boosts Price

NEW YORK, July 2s.--Profit talk ing sales, probably by another cut in Mid-C Continent oil prices, caused only q temporary check to the upward move ment of stock prices now in its eighth week.
 sBullish demonstrations were vigor- ously conducted in various sections, buoyancy of the mail order and mer- chandising issues being feature.
 Heavy buying of United States Steel common just before the close, which sent that stock up 21apoints to 104, the highest in months was construed to the regular quarterly rate of S1.25 on the common, would be maintained at tomorrow's meeting of the board of di- rectors.
 Steady accumulation was noted in the rail group, despite publication of additional June earnings reports which compared unfavorably with those for the same month last year. New 1924 high records were established in this group by Lackawanna, Rock Island, Southern Pacific, Southern Railway preferred, B. and o. preferred and Hi nois Central preferred. a
 With higher grain and cotton prices foreshadowing increased buying from the agricultural section, mail order and merchandising issues developed fresh strength. Sears-R -Roebusk and Mont gomery-Ward mounted to new 1924 highs. Advances of International liar vester and the fertilizer issues also were based on the expansion in the purchas- ing power of the farmer,
 Reports that the Peruvian govern. naent had restricted the operations of the Cerro de Paso Copper company caused some selling of these shares, which showed a net loss for the day of 15k points. Most of the 5other copper shares, however, were steadied by the rise in the price of the red metal to above 13 cents. ~
 Declaration by the Fleischmann com pany of an extra dividend of 50 cents share contributed to the improvement of this stock, numerous other special ties were in. good demand.
 Selling of the oil shares was inspired by the cut in Mid-C Continent crude oil prices, initiated by Prairie Oil and Gas and met by Texas company and the Sinclair crude oil purchasing company. This development, however, failed to cause any serious reaction, although Cosden, MarIand and other low-priced issues lost ground.
 With the deadlock of the London-in- ter-alied conference unbroken, foreign exchanges again marked time. Sterl- ing, after opening almost cent lower rallied slightly around 4.399s. French francs moved within narrow limits.
 A quiet tone ruled in the money market. Call funds held at per cent all day and there was plentiful supply of money for short term purposes, al rates ranging from 215 to 31a .per, cent Commercial paper rates ran from 314 to 8% per cent.
