EW YORK, July 23.—The subservience of the stock speculation to the varying crop con- ditions and to the dally weather map was again strikingly demonstrated to-day. But the activity of speculation in stocks was somewhat curtailed as an outsrowth of the confused sentiment engendered In the graln market by the conflicting price movements growing out of the technical conditions in the grain specu- lation. The uneasiness of the short interest in stocks was easily perceptible by the forced | opening bulge in, prices. There were indica- | tlons that a tactful move against the shorts | was being made and the London market was used before the opening here to influence New York by a much higher range of prices there. in the corn belt, but of an imminent settle- | ment of the steel strike.

The official map showed very little rain in the Western grain belt and predictions were for a continued hol period. But this the speculative contingent cared little for. Every man in the grain crowd and a good part of the speculative public was loaded with grain, having bought on yes- terday’s big advance and dry weather talk. Pit brokers did their best to find buyers but could only sell at big concessfons. One operator offered corn all the way down from 62ic to 58tc before he could make a trade. It was a speculative craze to sell and lasted until the orders gave out, when a breathing spell and a slight rally occurred. It was brief, however, for more rain news in the afternoon brought on_another attack and a deluge of selling orders, which weakened September corn here to 58c. Wheat broke from 77%4c to T5%c, with the decline in corn and under reports of showers in the Northwest. % * l, New York Grain and Produce. #*- % NEW YORK, July 28.—FLOUR—Receipts, 36,017 barrels; exports, 17,036 barrels; aquiet, but firmly held in spite of the wheat break.

This slump uncovered stop-loss orders, which ‘‘pyra- mid buflders’’ had put back of their purchases and the decline did not stop until September It had taken but a few minutes in the runaway market to send the price down and a recovery to 57%c followed almost as quickly on the weather map, which came out as dry as heretofore, and promised no rellef. Liquidation, however, continued, as there were not wanting reports claiming that when the excitement was over it would be said to have been wiped out had been saved. Even these optimists, however, were compelled o admit that thelr hopes were based on im- mediate rains. September during the afternoon declined to 55%c and closed weak, 4%c lower, at Si@ssice. For the wheat decline there was more rea- son in a statistical way than in corn. Cables were disappointing, receipts heavy and a vastly country.

Boston Wool Market. BOSTON, July 23.—The Boston wool trade is outside of speculative hands at the present time, and, while the principal demand comes from manufacturers who are in need of raw material to fill standing contracts, the market shows a firmer tone. The goods trade has im- proved and the result is that sales of wool here are increasing. Manufacturers in most cases are forced to pay more money for sup- plies, as was the case a_week ago. The West shows strength all along the line and the new clip in many sections is quite well cleared up. Mill men who have not been in the market for some time for supplies are surprised at the cost of wool compared with thelr last purchases. Several months ago the manufacturer could nearly name his price and he would get the wool, as the seller did not dare to let him get away. Now he will pay the price asked or will not get supplied, there being no soft spots to depress the market, and if_he attempts to buy out West, the wools cost more than is asked at the seaport.
