Lou Money Excitement Ends,
But Market Continues Aduance
Finnnciers A,Uait Turn in Trade and
Watch Political M0ues for Bear
ing on Railroads,

the possibility is admitted that the
election may be thrown into the
House of Representatives, where con-
troll would rest with the radical bloc
of railroads. a valuation of SO per
cent on railroad properties as COM
pared with that fixed by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, repeal
tic all-around reduction of freight
rates. Why has Wall street not been
more unsettled over this possibility,
and why particularly have railway
securities held as steadily as they
have?
Better Position Of Farmer.
The answer lies in the remarkable
increase during the last month and a
half in farm prices. The farmer made
good profits on corn last year, with
prices lower than the present. While
Gated a much larger yield than ex-
pected, this will be Offset by the fact
that there will be scarcely any carry
over from the old crop. AS the result
cotton raisers are still able to sell for
above the average. The wheat grow
er claims he can make no money with
the price under $1.25 a bushel. But
this takes account of a fair income
for the farmer himself and a rental
value OH lduu pQECndSeu OT lSdSCO
during imitation times. After the re-
cent 20 cents rise, the wheat grower
is not going to make out SO badly.
He does not stand in need of govern
ment help. He can get on quite well
on his own feet.
Recession in Business.
This is the season of dullness In
general trade. The Indications are
that no recovery from the reaction
of the last three months need be
expected before August or September
On the contrary, the prospect is fol
further falling Oft. The stock mar
ket at length recognized this in its
movement toward the end OF the
week. 1t had been going ahead pre-
viously as IT the stage was set fol
a general upswing.
1t now has perceived that what
occurred during June was merely q
recovery following period of ex.
cessive operations for the DECLINE
founded upon the false idea that the
country was in for term of depres-
sion. This short selling was very
much overdone and 1t has taken
three or four weeks to re-establisf
equilibrium. But, having done this
it has to be acknowledged that there
is little before the market than :
that industrial production has beer
sufficiently cut down, and, second, IS

BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 5.-The week
Just ended has brought little change
in the business and financial situa-
ton, Judging from the course OF the
stock market it would seem that
prices pretty we'll adjusted them
selves to the recession in trade which
began in the last week of March and
which appears to be In its hnal
stages In the investment market the
enthusiasm derived from very low
money rates has subsided for the
time being at least.
Bonds are still selling below what
they were in 1922, when interest rates
were equally low. They are selling
considerably under the average of
1917, when the money market occu-
pied a similar level, but when, owing
to the preparations for the first war
fetal and could not have been COM
pared with the present.
On the ground that investment Sc
curities are still ranging below what
they were in these two other periods
of extreme money market ease, and
ment capital is undoubtedly more
abundant, the prognosis is for a con-
tinuation of the upward tendency in
the market for bonds and In the high
est grade of investment stock. All
experience teaches that after having
exhausted the possibilities of the best
securities, investment funds must
consent to descend to a lower rank,
where there is an element of risk.
This is the sort of thing which ap-
pears likely to happen under present
circumstances.
Politics an Element.
The money factor is. therefore, an
important backlog. although 1t can
not be a stimulating element unless
other conditions are right. Wall
street has paid little attention to the
Democratic convention and it has
refused to be disturbed by the def
mite announcement that there is to
be third party in the field. This in
difference may not continue. There
have been other presidential cam
paigns where a like attitude was OBJ
served at the start, and where later
on it gave way to serious scare.
Consequently, too much reliance
should not be placed upon the pres
ent steadiness of the price movement.
But it is fact that the divergencies

A CLOsE-FITTING STORE.
New York Lock Shop Only Three
Feet at Widest Point.

From the Detroit News.
New Yorks newest Smallest store"
is on 7th avenue. The front is only
eighteen inches wide, while the rear
wall, which is five feet back, is three
feet across. The small space is oc-
cupied by locksmith who pays SIS a
month for the privilege of doing busi-
ness there.
No customers can enter, so the pro-
prietor waits on trade through the
front window. in which rests the ma =
chine for making keys. His other
equipment so fills his store that he
hardly has room to move, yet he
makes a living. In case he gets fat,
however. he will have to surrender

When Chinese Plant Rice.

Prom the New York Times.
In Cochin China there is no irriga-
tion. Rice is planted at the beginning
of the rainy season, and all the nee
essary water is supplied by the rains
that fall continuously during the
growing period.
The use of seeders and drills is i'm
possible, as the ground is entirely
covered with water at seeding time.
The rice is planted in little patches
and then transplanted when a suffi-
cient maturity is attained.

Fresh Eggs Every Day.
From Capper's Weekly

California and the coast have devel-
oped the egg business to q point where
they are now producing eggs for this
United States during the entire year,
and fresh eggs can be shipped and be
in the hands of the consumer ten days
from the time they are laid. This ten
day egg is superior to the storage egg,
which usually holds the market from
Christmas until March. California now
supplies eggs to any part of the United
States, thanks to it's development of CO.
operative marketing and organized pro-
duction and grading.

Seventy-five per cent of motor car

adding that great percentage of all
auto accidents are due to "hooch,
hugging and haste"-a shocking
statement. Twenty eight per cent of
all the accidents the last three years,
he says, have occurred in homes, a
large percentage due to falls. Thir
