OMAHA, July 15, 1911.
Condition In the sprint wheat belt con
tlnue favorable, although tha trade la in
clined to believe the recent lower tempera
tuiea may be misleading, as late advises
lnou-ate that there had occured serious re
d'j.tion In the rop aa a result of tho lat
est hot spell. On the other hand, milling
and export demand la Inadequate to take
tare of the enormous winter wheat market
ing, wlncli has Induced heavy liquidating
sales, weakening both the cash and future
prices.
'I iTe Is a Krrat part of the corn belt
till without rains, although temperatures
arc not at all alarming. The remarkable
strength In rush corn In all markets la
the feature of higher prices, and as long
as no soaking rains are recnlved, tha mar
ket remains In a healthy position.
Wheat displayed a firmer tone after the
harp break yesterday. News was some
what more bullish on the growing crop,
and cash sales were more active on the
declines.

evening up character over the Sunday holi
day. News continues favorable excepting
Some localities. Cash corn was unchanged.

CHICAGO GHAI.V AND PROVISION S
Feat area of the Tradluir and Closing
Prices an Board of Trnde.
CHICAGO, July 16. A revival of the ex
port trade brought new strength todav Into
the market for wheat. Bullish estimates
regarding the crop northwest gave help.
In consequence, closing prices were '.irtc
higher than last night. The end of the day,
however, left corn down Vt to hiStc net,
and oats off iiZtC to l'c. Hog products
finished all the way from 10c loss to lVVsc
gain.
Sales of wheat to foreign countries were
made both here and at Toledo. The news
of these transactions had an Immediate
effect, causing shorts to cover In a lively
fashion. Another source of assistance to
the bulls lay In explicit denials that the
banks here had been calling In any loans
on wheat. During the session September
ranged from o7c to SSVic, closing eusy,
but VoHo up, eTs!6oc.
Corn values gave way under free sell
ing for country account. Ualns In Ne
braska favored the bears. September
fluctuated between Wise and ti7Vic, with the
close steady, but V40 to net lower at
MV&c. Cash grades were easy. No. 2 yel
low finished at ti6t)li7c.
Free offerliiKs of the new crop made the
oats market heavy. High and low points
touched by September were 47'Aa and 4tic,
with last sales 46'c, a decline of ;o under
last night.
A rally In provisions was attributed to
shorts covering because meat and lard
shipments from Chicago for the waek were
far short of a year ago. When the pit was
closed pork varied from loc lower to 17V4o
gain. Lard and ribs hung virtually at last
nlftht's level.

NEW YORK. July 15.-Speclal Tele
gram.) The all-Important question of the
country s Harvests was brought to the at
tentlun of the business world this week In
a more forcible manner than heretofore
inroupn the July summary of the govern
ment on the condition of the araln itods.
The sensational drop of over twenty points
n spring wneat rrom the June report, and
a loss of nearly five points In the condition
f corn, as compared with last year, were
disappointing. The deterioration, especially
In the prlng wheat, showed clearly the
navoo made by the Intense heat an drouth.
Notwithstanding this, the estimated out
turn of corn and wheat is well above the
average, because of Increased acreage, and
there has been considerable recovery since
me report was compiled.
Th action of the commnrilfv markets
throughout the week Is quickly reacting
irom eacn upward spurt affords ample
proof of more satisfactory conditions.
Cotton Prospects Brlg-nt.
The cotton prospect has really the bright
est outlnafc of the whole crop situation.
Cultivation thus far this season has been
as nearly perfection as possible as at dif
ferent periods during the week rains have
fallen over the entire belt and fewer com
plaints than usual are heard. Al this
naturally strengthens previous estimates of
a record crop. A cotton harvest of 14,000,000
wouia ue or tne highest Importance to this
country rrom several points of view.
At the present itme new crop options ore
ruling close to 13 cents. On this basis such
a crop would have a market value of $010.
000.000, and countin gseed, the total wouH
be above $1,000,000,000. Taking 12 cents as the
prospective value, the result would be $S40,
000,000, without any allowance for seed.
Judging the future bv the present pros
pects it seems quite likely that cotton Is
going to give the country another large
credit balance abroad and alp great wealth
to the south to make senffnent for the
whole country. Just as the west did In 1909.
From a trade standpoint, the greatest Im
pression In the business mind this week
was the continued Improvement In the steel
Industry.
In a general way this was expressed In an
Increase In the unfilled orders of the United
States Steel corporation of 247,000 tons. The
company's rail mills are now running
nearer to capacity than any previous time
this year; wire mills are working 77 per
cent; some other mills 73 per cent, and steel
Ingots are being produced on the basis of
13.000,000 tons a year.
Railroads are not entirely responsible for
this, as building operations show an In
crease all over the country. The copper In
dustry Is also doing better, which Is re
flected In the June reduction 'In stocks on
hand of 8.561,000 pounds.
Railroad Bolldlna; Operations.
Mercantile trade has been affected by
the extrerAo heat, and a disposition to
await further developments as to the
crops.
The stock market dwindled down to a
narrow basis. The dotly average of trans
actions was only 200.000 shares, and near
the close they were at the low point of
the year. Sentiment was Influenced by the
daily crop reports, but every time the list
was sold down, It came back quickly, and
the undertone of firmness was shown In
a general average advance of about a
point over a week ago. Some special bull
movements were made hero and there, but
they failed to enlist public participation.
It Is universally conceded that nothing can
be expected from prominent Interests until
An pus t at least.
The money question promises to loom
Into increased prominence as the season
advances. There Is a growing belief that
tne crops win be marketed on a higher
basis of Interest rates than the current
figures of 2 to 2 per cent for call loans
and 3 to 3 for over the year funds.
Sew Low Re-cord.
The only thing to be said of today's
stock market Is that It established a new
low record for Saturday trading and was
steady. Transactions for the day were
about 53,000 Khans.
Many of the active stocks were not
traded In at all during the first hour. The
early dullness was more pronounced than
has been been In any (Saturday market of
the yeur. Even such stocks aa United
States Steel, Reading. Union Paclflo and
the usually active railroads scarcely fluc
tuated, and It was evident that the market
had been dekerted by mott of the profes
sional traders. There waa nothing In the
day'a news to affect sentiment, other
than the small Increase In the fortnightly
statement from the American Railway as
sociation, covering the country's Idle rail
road equipment The gain was Insignifi
cant, however, so that the total was not
materially changed from a fortnight ago.
Foreign exchange was a trifle lower.
The stock market closed as quietly as it
opened, with scarcely any business to
speak of. A slight rise in the price of con
sols was the cheerful Incident of the day
at London.
Number of sale and leading quotations
on stock were aa follows:

CATTLE Receipts of cattla wera Insig
nificant, as is usually the case on a Sat
urday, and with nothing of any conse
quence in the beef line on sale the market
was nominally steady with yesterday.
Compared with a week ago the strictly
good to choice dry-lot beeves are selling
very nearly steady, while there has been
a further decline of possibly 1016o on the
medium and common grades mat consti
tuted a good share of tha offerings. Thla
decline is largely due to the very bearish
reports from eastern markets the latter
part of the week, and the tone to the trade
at the close was rather weak than other
wise. Indications are that this spread in
values will Increase aa the dry-lot cattle
become scarcer and the proportion of
grassy and half-fat stuff becomes greater.
No great change has taken place In the
market for cows and heifers thla week,
and for the most part there has been a
broad outlet for all grades of she stock at
prices fully as good aa last week, and in
some cases better. Strictly good to choice
dry-lot cows and heifers are becoming
very scarce and find ready sale at strong
figures right along, while the competition
irom xeeaer Duyers ror tne thin and half
fat stuff has made a stronir market for
anything of this kind. In general the tone
to the trade Is healthy and firm, with a
broad outlet for anything at all useful In
this line. Veal calves have been In liberal
uppiy and are 25Ctf60c lower for the week.
while bulls, stags, etc, are selling much
the same aa a week ago.
Buslnesa in Blockers and feeders has been
lively all week, with the demand greater
than the supply. Prices at the close are
fully 6ottfi0c higher than they were at the
low point last week, and a good clearance
has been made. Volume of business has
not been very large owing to the limited
supply, but there is every prospect that this
volume will increase from now on and in
dications are favorable for a strong, active
market next week.

HOGS The hog market held an even keel,
bulk of supply changing hands on a steady
basis. Light receipts put a better edge
upon the demand and served In a measure
to produce stability. The estimate called
for only 98 cars and while variety and
condition were seasonably . skippy, ' all
classes moved with a fair degree of free
dom. Clearance at 10:) o'clock found the
yards practically vacant.
Purchases by shippers totaled about fif
teen loads, orders calling for smooth, even
loads rather than any particular weight.
There was no speculative demand of conse
quence and trade in general was unevent
ful. Spreads remained fairly wide and quality
was still a prime factor In determining
price. Good heavy animals sold on much
the same basis aa common butchers and
poor lights In various Instances. Long
strings ranged from 36.20 to 36.27H. while
tops reached 36 40, a nickel higher than
yesterday's limit, but a dime under high
price a week ago.
Present scale of values, as compared with
last Saturday's market, shows a loss of a
big dime. Supply has been featured by a
deficiency of weight as well as quality, but
the run has been relatively large In point
of numbers.

SHEElv-There were no fresh arrivals of
sheep and lambs and as the previous day's
clearance was practlctlly complete, tha
market showed .10 quotable change.
Adjustment of lamb values during the
week has been the main feature of the
trade lately. Prices failed to share in heavy
general declines last week and not until
this week were killers able to cheapen
cost In line with reductions elsewhere. Re
cent business In fat lambs, both from range
and corn belt, averages about 40g75c lower
titan values a week ago, ldahoa closing at
$d(uVi6.75. It would take a strictly cuoloa
' a t'cle to reach $7.00. this limit b-tng rela
tively nign as compared with nign quota
.ii., a, other points.
The reason for th eslump this week Is
found in a flpod of light lambs cashed at
Chicago and Kansas City. Buyers at the
former point say that runs of underweight
lambs lately have been five times In excess
of their needs and lack of a feeder demand
has only served to aggravate a bad situa
tion. Orders from the country are small
and scarce everywhere, but luckily local
offerings have carried rather email feeder
sorts.
The proportion of old sheep was limited
and on mot days supply was well taken
care of. Trade wtt present Is Just about

Just now the crop outlook Is good on the
whole. Cotton, the greatest of our money

The grain crops also are In good shape,
and the other crops art In satisfactory
condition.
It Is probable that the total of $9.(VX).O0ft OrtO
jatlmnted as tho value of American crops
by Commissioner Williams last year will
be beaten this year.
Urent Impetus to Business.
This means busy railroads with Increased
earnings, a steady demand for all classes
of manufactures, active, prosperous mer.
chants and a happy working country Al
ready we are beginning to feel the Impetus.
llie Industrial outlook, basod upon state
ments made by the leading manufacturers
is brighter at the moment than It has been
at any time since Januury. Producers are
now confident that unless there Is a ma
terial deterioration In the country crops
the last six months of the year will be a
period of progress, and that output as wen
as earnings, will Increase. This In turn
means, of course, a resumption of idle
nuns and factories and more employment
for labor.
There was a spurt of activity in the first
quarter of the year, but it was not lasting
The steel mills of the country In March
at one time were operating on an average
of 80 per cent of capacity. Then new busi
ness began to fall off, with the result that
operations dropped to about 70 per cent
of capacity.
Within tho last month the United States
Steel corporation has increased its opera
t ons to t per cent of capacity. Including
the Independent companies, the average
operations of the steel mills of the coun
try must be close to 70 per cent at present.
So far the improvement has be n duo
largely to orders for Immediate delivery
There has been an absence of contracts
calling for delivery In the future. This
class of buying, however, la expected to
develop before the close of the year when
the steel companies open their books for
orders for delivery in 1912.
One disturbing feature that has been
eliminated. Is the large surplus copper
stocks which have been carried for the
last year or more. This Burplus has shown
a heavy shrinkage within the last six
months. And so It goes all along tne line.
Imports and Exports.
Collector Loeb has given out a state
ment of Imports and exports at the port of
New York for the fiscal year ending Juno
so, 1911. The figures show a decrease of
$48,32,i50 in the imports of merchandise,
compared with last year, and an increase
of $121,603,046 In the exports. Gold and sil
ver Imports were approximately $19,0u0 000
larger compared with 1D09-10; while tho
exports of the precious metal declined
about $fi9,0(i0,0u0.
The mlscclianroiie re,-l
fines, head tax, tonnage tax, etc., amounted
to $ti.u(i,24S, being t70.Mtl greater than the
receipts of tho previous year. Duties col
lected on merchandise totalled inti w 7 a
compared with' $218.wi,8l7 for the 'fiscal
year ending June 30, 1910. Withdrawals
from bonded warehnuNPS were utumi ttfin.1.

optlmistlo comment from those who go to
the roots of things. Inasmuch as business
was very quiet during the three months
preceding June 7. But taklna- the returns
as a whole they are quite satisfactory.
Mlnlnar Dividends.
In the first six months of th current
