Reports from the winter wheat territory were conflicting, but finally the theory that the growing crop had bren badly damagoa by the "green bug" and by hot weather caused a moderate rally in prices, iater the market eased off on renewed aellltut ay pit traders, which was based chiefly on the forecast of the weather bureau of rain and cooler weather for Missouri.

Today's stock msrket defied any clear analysis. The sur face facts upon which there is no room for dispute are that there la undecioeo unpum to sell securities ana an -m,.i paralysis of demand. The conxequences to prices were such as might be imagined. That any urgent necessity was forcing holders of securities to part with them did not sppeart from any facts known to tn public. The banks were not calling loans and the withdrawn! of credits by money lenders could not be ascribed as tne im pelling cause of the slump. Of course nie violent decline and the shrinkage In col lateral caused a readjustment constantly of loans and this shrlnkuge. of course, forced vulnerable holdings upon the mnrket In the course of the fall. But stringency of money was not the primary cause In forcing any liquidation. Bo far as the dread or fnllures at tne coming sm-n nuumi settlements In London and Berlin was con cerned, the situation was admitted to bs Improved over last week. Erly prices of Americans from Iyindon showed some vio lent rebounds from Saturday's list and Berlin was reported to be buying American securities In Ixindon. Reassuring sdvlces from the highest quarters In the financial world abroad were recelvei as to tne im provement In the situation. Berlin was alleged to have completed necessary ar rangements for the approaching settlements which hss been the dreaded point. Rumors of an important financial house In Ixindon being In flnnnclal difficulties were said to be proved by the most careful investiga tion. Large orders were expected in this market to buy stocks for foreign account, but with hardly more than a momentary effect on prices. one particular in wnicn lxinaon om orrer sn acutely depressing fnctor was In the disorder In Its metnl markets. Copper and tin both showed heavy declines and specu lative commitments In the copper mrtrket were said to be Involved. The liirge specu lation In copper securities In this market has been nsed on the confident assumption of sound conditions in the metal mnrket. This confidence was shaken and the metal Industrials proved extremely vulnerable nn a consequence, Including the lTnlt"d States Steel stocks. Itrge pooled holders of these securities were believed to be touched by the demoralized declines. Holders of Amal gamated Copper and of United States Steel seemed to be suddenly awakened to the recollection of past performances In those securities following the quick trnnsforma tlon from the condition of great prosperity In their trades to acute depression and rapid shrinkage of earnings. The operations of the bear contingent In the market are be lieved to have taken on the proportions of a saturnalia. Individual operations on the short side In at least one instance were believed to be of prodigious proportions. These operations seemed to be entirely un opposed on behalf of the controllers or out siders In any property. A striking feature of the sltuatlori. in fact, seemed to be the consensus among the larger Interests that supporting measures would be futile to check the selling frenxy. Engagements of gold in London for Import and additional latitude allowed by. the secretary of the treasury In the security for government deposits, although promising to help the money market through, were entirely Ignored. Influential men In the banking world did not hesitate to characterize the selling as prompted by "Insane fear." In formation from commission houses, on which some selling orders were couched. gave color to this characterization. Fears of a coming prostration of business and of the stripping of powers of management and control from corporations were alleged as principal grounds for the alarm. It was late In the day before prices reached the lowest level, but the actual closing reflected a nervous feeling amongst the shorts In the feverish rebounds, caused by their rush to take profits.

Practically everything In elaht changed hands very readily at prices generally lOMlnc higher than last week. As compared with the low point last week the advance was even more than that, so that all the decline of last week has been recovered and the market today wns as high as any time. Oood lambs sold as high as t7.86. with the feeder buyers paying as high as 37. OR for stuff to take out and shear. There were no good yearlings to moke a test of the market on that kind, but wethers sold as high as 16.26, the same stuff that brought t6.1(l last week. While there were no choice ewes in the yards, good ewes sold as high as t'vilO, as agnlnst 35.40 for the same stuff last week. It will le seen from these prices that the market whs In a good healthy condition, with packers evidently wanting the good killers. It was In fact the kind of a market that sellers like.

Chicago reported a very heavy run, with the market weak and lower. It was one of those dull, lifeless markets which are never satisfactory to anyone. Buyers went out in the yards in fair sea son, but the general disposition seemed to be to wait for later reports from other sell ing points, with the result that the first half of the forenoon was passed with prac tically nothing being done. In fact. It was well toward midday before the market was under way. The few cattle that Just hap pened to please buyers sold at prices that did not look much different from last week. hut the general tendency of values, as was to be expected when the trade is so dull, whs lower. Cows and heifers were also very slow and dull. Here and there a seller who hap pened to have just what a buyer wanted thought that he got out at about steady prices, but the general market was both slow and weak. There was no noticeable change In the market on stockers and feeders. Specu lators were pretty well cleaned up at the close of last week and they were ready to take on a fair number 01 cattle this morn ing at prices generally steady, so far as the good kinds at least were concerned.
