BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor)

New York, July 14-U.P.) A firmer tone was noted on the stock exchange this week but as the Dow-Jones industrial average ap- preached the 100-mark more re- sistance was encountered. Trading increased moderately with the average for the five-hour sessions over the half million mark.
 While business was recovering from the slump of the Fourth of July week, the government issued a crop report that was bullish for the grain market but had bearish business aspects. Wheat output will be the smallest since 1893 and other crops are ito be correspond ingly small.
 AS a result of the grain esti mate the wheat market scared. In one session prices jumped the limit allowed-5 cents on wheat; 4 on corn. etc.
 Wheat reduction adversely inf1u enced the Granger rails. The gen. eral railroad list, however, had Other difficulties, including a drop of 124,765 cars in the loadings for the week ended July z, bringing the total under 1883 for the first time this year.
 Some of the rail shares were higher, but the average dipped a fraction. The same was true of utilities where Columbia Gas brought confusion when it's direc- tors voted to omit the dividend. The latter action called attention to the utility companies whose costs have been rising rapidly and whose income is held within limits by much the same methods as the railroads.
 Best gains were in the industrial division where news was the most favorable. The United States Stee! corporation Sprang a surprise on Tuesday in announcing it's ship mentS of steel for June at 9S5.337 tons, against 745,063 tons in May. The stock. however, did little bet ter than hold it's own. Automobile issues were slightly higher on the week as production of cars picked up after the decline a week ago. Oils showed good group strength. Silvers were strong with the high priced U. S. Smelling rising to record high with a gain of nearly 10 points.
 Wet stocks were depressed when the government announced a let down of the barriers on imports. They failed to recover their losses. Amusements were hit by church drives for cleaner pictures. Sugars were strong with American mak- ing a new high for the year.
 A number of miscellaneous is- sues made new highs for the year

off more than half million bales
 below the aggregate for the cor
 responding period last year. For
 wardings to mills show even a greater decline. Domestic con- sumption for June is estimated by
 the New York Cotton Exchange service at approximately 39O.000
 bales compared with 698.000 ac- tual for June last year. Moreover, great emphasis is Had upon the preference given outside growths' in European markets to the detri- ment of American cotton.
 However, in spite of the com petition for foreign production. the outlook for the American cottor. crop continues to be the dominat- ing price shaping influence. The first demonstration of the part it is likely to play occurred upon the acreage estimate on July 9th. The
 publication of the preliminary urea planted and to be planted was figured at 28,024,000 acres. This was about 1000 acres below aver age expectations. and it's influence or prices was immediate and em- phatic."
 Adding that while he regards his summary of conditions "as temper ate and conservative and fully con- firmed by advices from our own correspondents" he adds that, i've believe 1t would require optimism over the character of the weather for the rest of the season to count on an average yield of as much as one-third of bale per acre. We wish to make it clear that in this basis for calculation it is necessary to make both plus and minus allowances for future climatic conditions. The drought may be broken in Texas and thus add to yield prospects in that state. On the other hand, the weevil has attained surprisingly strong foot hold in the states east of the Mis- sissippi river, and any gains in the might be easily offset by losses in portions of Mississippi, Alabama and the South Atlantic States.
 Admitting the unsatisfactory state of trade, the decline in eX- ports and mill forwardings, we be- lieve the statistical position would receive startling correction through the outturn of crop pitched upon the acreage as above indicated and with a yield reason ably to be assumed undeir normal hereafter. If such should prove to be the case, we feel confident that it would be the in- fuence to dominate all other price factors"

 Electricity output for the week ended July ' made a good show ing. It was down from the previous week because of the holiday, but it held small gain over the cor responding week of 1893.

 Cotton Crop Size

New York, July 1.-The prob- able size of the cotton crop. as in all previous years, is the factor which is discounted in the market before consideration is given to any other feature, c. T. Revere, national outstanding economist states in his current review of trade conditions.
 ''This is the phenomenon which we are witnessing now in the ad- vance in the cotton market" says MT Revere. Exports have fallen
