In the Stock Market
nv Thnmson Z. McKinnon


NEW YORK, July 12.-The drop
in brokers loans undoubtedly comes
as pleasant surprise. On the
surface the decrease may appear I'M
important, but looking back few
weeks when rights to subscribe to
additional securities were expiring
almost daily, is it not conclusive
evidence that the expansion in the
loan statement was due almost
wholly to this factor we muse
assume also that the current ad-
vance in securities has been brought
about largely by influential invest
ment buying. We have had ample
proof recently that investment trusts
have been steadily adding to their
holdings. Surely when the largest
financial institutions in the country,
which have the advantage Of the
guidance Of our ablest banking
sources, see conditions that prompt
investments at this time, the out
look can not be viewed otherwise
than bright. 1t is thought that the
United States Steel Corporation
within fortnight will publish it's
second quarterly report showing ap-
proximately $3.50 a share. Other
corporate reports equally encourage
ing are anticipated. This applies
particularly to the public utility and
the railroad group With such an
outlook before us we can see no
signs as yet Of a elimination of
the recent market strength.

RAINS DAMAGE
CANADIAN CROP;
WHEAT CLIMBS
Kansas Yield Also Les
sened; Heavy Movements
Hurt Corn; Oats Up.

BIZ United Pres
CHICAGO, July IA report by
the Canadian wheat pool, whcih
confirmed the private experts claims
of heavy damage over the three
prairie provinces during the past
ten days, was help in bringing
about further sharp advances in the
futures market today.
Kansas advices. predicted that
state would save only 100000
bushels Of its crop, because of the
recent rains. Corn was weakened
by the prospect Of heavier move
ments. July oats led the deferred
months to higher levels.
At the close wheat was u to ia
cents higher, corn was off 2 to q
cent and oats we're "A to l cent
higher. Provisions we're up with a
new top on hogs.
Weather in the southwest had
turned more favorable for harvest
ing over night, but high tenn
peratures still prevailed over most of
the spring wheat country, So that
prices opened fractionally higher
here. Liverpool and Chicago made
further advances during the morn
ing, and the English market was re-
ported affected by the port strike in
Argentine, as we'll as by the bullish
Canadian news. Cash prices were
z cent to l cent higher. Receipts
were eighty cars.
Chicago traders are predicting a
larger movement of old corn to
market now that the new crop is
getting along, and, with pressure
from this element, futures lost their
early gains and dropped shade
lower during the early trade. The
market, however, was quiet most Of
the time. Cash prices we're un-
changed. Receipts were 13I cars.
July oats were strong part of the
time, but the later months ruled
slightly heavy due to lack of in
tereSt in the grain. Crop news was
rather mixed. Cash prices we're unz
changed to 10 cents higher. Receipts
were fifty three cars.
