WHEAT GOES LOWER
ON WEATHER NEWS
Good Harvest Conditions and
Rains in Argentina Send Prices
Down at Chicago.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 24.--Word of
splendid harvest weather in June has
brought about fresh downturns in
wheat here today. Beneficial rains
over Central and Western Argentina
were also reported. Opening al * to /
decline, wheat rallied a little, and then
sagged lower than before. Corn and
oats We're also weak, corn starting r.
to * off, and of later showing an ad-
1itional setback. Provisions held about
steady.
Liquidating sales on the part Of
holders both of wheat and corn were
much in evidence at times today.
Favorable weather for both cereals
was the chief factor. and even on
sharp declines a lack of aggressive
buying was apparent. y number of
standing orders to sell out and stop
loss at various fixed limits on wheat
and on corn as well were forced into
operation.
Warmer temperatures in the corn
belt today and rapidly improving field
conditions throughout the Winter
wheat harvest region put a decided
handicap, at least temporarily, on
friends of higher prices for any kind
OF grain. Reports Of damage by hail
in parts of the Canadian Northwest
We're virtually ignored and so, too. was
talk that July is usually a bull month
because of unfaVorable crop develop
ments in Spring wheat territory.

more confident attitude toward the
list, in spite of the fact that time
money rates show a tendency Co
harden and are now quoted at the
highest since the early part of the
year.
The best grade of rails and the long.
term United States Governments were
steadier than they have been and
q some of them advanced in price. This
was true of the Baltimore e Ohio,
Northern Pacific, Union Pacific and
New York Central legals. The Treas

New Loan Rumors.
There are rumors Of new loan to
be made by the Italian capital. Japa-

On account of the long slump in
bonds. 1t has been difficult for selling
organizations to stimulate their men,
who have been discouraged by the re-
sistance by the public to new offerings.
In cases. however, where concessions
in price have been allowed. it has been
found that the public has abundant
funds to invest, and is receptive to
investment suggestions. High-grade
issues, offered at attractive prices, are
still in demand.

CURB IN SYMPATHY
WITH BIG BOARD
SpeciaIties, Responding to

BY WILLIAM F. HETFERNAN.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June 24.-Tt has al
ways been conceded that outside de-
volopments affecting the movement of
prices in tho Curb Market are the
same as those responsible for the
tendency on the Stock Exchange.
Therefore when yesterdays selling
movement on the big board failed to
carry over today and prices hardened
all around it was natural for the main
body of stocks of the curb to move
sympa theticaly. But the market APP
parently had reached the stage where
the element favoring further price ap.
probation was not meeting with the
success that accompanied similar opcr-
ations two weeks and month ago.
