WHEAT OUTLOOK BETTER.

[Special to Tha IndlanapoHa News] CHICAGO. June 16.-The Modern Miller crop outlook bulletin says: Weather has been extremely favorable for the Winter wheat plant with the surplus moisture and cool weather tending to offset the damage from Hessian fly. The loss from this insect will not be as severe as It would have been under ordinary conditions. The harvesting of wheat is under way as far north as southern Illinois, and the yield is about as expected. The Kansas prospects are generally placed at a figure below 100,000,000 bushels, with narresting commencing early next week. In the spring wheat country there has been ample moisture with conditions everywhere fairly favorable, save in the immediate Red River valley, where they have had too much rain.

WEEK’S GRAIN EXPORTS. [Special to The Indianapolis News] NEW YORK, June 16.-Exports of grain for the week, according to Bradstreet’s, were: Wheat, Including flour, 11,000,000 bushela; year ago, 4,737,000 bushels. Corn, 742,000 bushels; year ago, 533.000 bushels.

CHICAGO. June 16.-Bearish views on the export situation tended today to depress the wheat market here. The fact was pointed out that the decline in ocean freight rates had not caused any increase of shipments from the United States. Predictions were current that the outcome would be a diversion of vessel tonnage to South America and Australia. Opening prices. w r hich ranged from y,c to %c lower, were followed by a good rally, but then a fresh downturn. Favorable crop reports acted later as more than an offset to advices that Duluth had sold 1.000,000 bushels to go east and that Omaha had made a similar sale of 50,000 bushels. The close was nervous, 44c to IHc net lower, with July, at $1.0114(g> 1.01%, and September at [email protected]. Seaboard demand gave firmness to com. Weakness of wheat had only a transient bearish effect. After opening unchanged to %c lower, the market rose all around to above yesterday’s finish. More liberal offerings from the country brought about a subsequent setback. The close was unsettled, varying from %c decline to %c advance, as compared with yesterday's finish. Oats sympathized with com. Price changes, though, were slight. Higher prices on hogs started provisions upgrade. The only selling was in small lots.

HINTS FOR SATURDAY MARKETERS

“Well, I suppose It's another chicken dinner on Sunday,” said the corner grocer to Mrs. Spriggs, of the boarding house, as she started in on her end-of-the-week order. “Oh, I'm kind o' tired of chicken. Wish there were something else,” she 1 answered “What about Pennsylvania ducklings?” suggested the nimble-minded merchant.

Intimation That it l« Neceaaary to Ralae Discount Rates. LONDON, June lt.-The money market has taken a sharp upward turn owing to an intimation that it is necessary to raise discount rates to assist exchange positions. The interest on short term treasury bills at the Bank of England todav was raised to 5 per cent., and market discounts followed for three months' bills, advancing to per cent. The chief reasons for the action of the authorities appear to be the continued demand for gold from London and fears that depreciation in the value of money at New York and the prospects of further tightening would mean the withdrawal of American balances from this market if attractive rates were not instituted. The stock market was affected by the higher rates and business in gilt edged securities was quieter. Investment stocks developed an easier tendency in the absence of support. Marconi, rubber and oil shares and home rails were good features, but coppers weakened. American securities were quietly steady and featureless. United States Treasury Statement WASHINGTON, June 16.-The condition of the United States treasurv at the start of business today: Net balance in general fund. $135,466,541: total receipts, $2,166,00 • total payments. $4,536,462. The deficit this fljeal year Is *42.186.741. against a deficit of $106,759,592 last year, exclusive of Panama canal and public debt transactions.

READING AND STEEL LEADING THE OTHERS DOWN.

ANGLO-FRENCH 5S 7 HEAVY

Today's narrow market was almost without definite trend until toward the end. when a moderate selling movement created some unsettiement. NEW YORK, June 16.—Declining tendencies were more marked during today’s early trading, the acute Mexican situation and the rejection by the railroad brotherhoods of the proposals made by the genera) managers inducing further professional selling. Specialties were the weakest issues. Beet Sugar breaking more than 2 points, with severe recessions in some of the metal group, including zinc shares. St. Paul, Northern Pacific and Erie first preferred were fractionally lower, with offsetting gains In Norfolk & Western and Louisville * Nashville. United States Steel was barely steady. Light Dealings. Dealings in the first hour were the lightest for that period in a fortnight, aggregating less than 100.000 shares with increasing dullness toward noon. Prices stiffened, however, despite the restricted character of the trading. Reading. Crucible and Mexican Petroleum leading the more prominent stocks, with a further gain in Louisville & Nashville and substantial advances in Lake Erie &’ Western issues. Anglo-French 5s continued heavy on greatly reduced offerings. Bonds were irregular. Specialties Higher. Beet Sugar made up all early loss in the afternoon and other specialties as well as minor rails were moderately higher, but trading in the more representative issues was almost at a complete standstill. Lower prices were made in the final hour. Reading and Steel leading the decline with a greater weakness in speclaltles. The closing was heavy'-

Considerable Profit Taking and Demand Only Moderate. NEW YORK, June 16.—The cotton market opened steady today at an advance of 3 points to a decline of 2 points, with active months selling up to or a shade above last night’s close during the first few minutes, on Liverpool buying and scattered covering. October contracts touched 12.98c and December, 13.14c, but there was considerable realizing, while the demand was limited and prices reacted 5 to 6 iioints. Houses with India connections were moderate buyers of October. Prospects for clearing weather and the absence of crop damage complaints from the south Increased the disposition to take profits later, and prices worked out 6 to 8 points net lower, with October selling at 12.8Cc and December at 13.05c. Offerings then seemed to taper off and the market was quiet around midday, with fluctuations narrow. A private crop report, making the condition of June 11 80.7 per cent., against 82.1 per cent, on May 25, was regarded bullish, but failed to stimulate any immediate

demand.

While demand failed to broaden, the market

ruled rather steadier during the middle of the

-June 16-

Thomson & McKinnon’s Grain Letter. —June 16Wheat—P.enewed liquidation has characterized wheat throughout the entire day. It is plainly evidenced in the widening July-September spread. Demand has been of a perfunctory sort with practically no effort made to turn market around. Foreign demand is still lacking for either old or new, and their apparent independence will be the further increased by world's shipments, which promise around 15.000. 000 bushels. Prevailing low freight rates from Atlantic coast to England and difficulty in securing cargoes even at the decline, is expected to turn vessel room to the southern hemisphere. The only cash business reported today was 50.000 bushels from Omaha to the seaboard. Weather considered too wet in the northwest, but southwestern advices indicate general Improvement since June 1 report. Kansas City said that country was offering old wheat very freely. Cutting of new wheat will probably commence next week in Missouri and Kansas. Oklahoma is asking for bids in the Minneapolis market, although July wheat sold today at the lowest price on the crop, there Is nothing in the news to indicate the end of the decline. Com—Some strength in com early on forecast of unsettled weather over the belt The demand, however, was entirely from local operators, market encountering common offerings on the bulge. Freer offering# of cash corn by the country. and cessation of shipping demand brought about good decline, although only thirty-three cars here, spot market 1 to 2 lower with shipping demand less urgent. Sales reported 206.000. Oats—In addition to a little liquidation of Juiv oats, there has been selling of the same future by leading elevator, sales being replaced with the September.

HYPHENATE PLANK

Continued from Page One. words under the shadow of the Washington monument he sent a telegram to t!l s p J , ^ 80 , r ! al representative here, in which he said the Democratic national convention mnst take a stand against this thing, lie made it clear in a conversation over the telephone with men here that he did not wish the convention to cast any reflections on men of alien birth who ‘have come to thi# country to make it their home, but that he did deem it of the greatest importance that there should be Something in the platform condemning those organizaUons which have been attempting to influence the course of American laws and politics in the interest ot foreign powers. Moved by Same Influences. When this demand of the President got abroad among the Democrats here it met with a very enthusiastic response from practically all the representatives of the party. There were those who held back Just as there were senators and repre^tative# who were net willing to go ^ith the President a months aero when he demanded of the congress of the United States that it take a vote on the McLemore resolution, which proposed to w , a ?\£ merlcan8 not t0 * rav ® 1 bn the ships of belligerent nations. Of course. Democrats here who said it would be impudent for the convention to make any such declaration as the President had proposed were moved by *he same Influences that were operating in the national capital when the President was demanding that the congress say whether it proposed to stand by his foreign policy. Bout With Sinister Influences. The hyphenated plank is in the platform, but it did not get there until after there had been a sharp bout with the sinister influences that have been at work around Washington so long and Were so forcefully felt at Chicago last week. After the President made his demand there never was the slightest quesUon as to the stand the convention Itself would take on this Issue, but there wes a prolonged controversy in the subcommittee of the committee on resolutions and also animated discussion in the full committee as to the wisdom of the demand made by the President. It Is doubtless true that if the committee on resolutions had followed its own inclinations there would have been no denunciation of the effort of foreign-born citizens to attempt to influence sentiment in this country in favor of a foreign power. 'When the subcommittee first took up the piank proposed by the President four members of the committee were for it and five against it. While the subcommittee was considering the plank word was received from the White House to the effect that if the convention should fail to incorporate the hyphenated plank in the platform the President would repudiate the action of the committee and of the convention. When the nine members of the subcommittee finally came to understand that the President was in dead earnest they agreed to the plank. Still Busy at Midnight When the full committee came together a little before midnight last night to consider the draft of the platform prepared by the subcommittee the influences that would have silenced the committee in the convention on this issue were still at work, but the full committee, after discussing the plank for several hours agreed to it. The President has now made this issue of “America first” so definite that there can be no misunderstanding about it. He has said, and has compelled his party convention to say, that he does not desire the votes of men who are not for “America first.” In taking this stand he has. undoubtedly, put a good many members ol bis partv on the uneasy seat. When the stirring controversy over the McLemore resolution was on in the national capital there was much pussyfooting among members of the congress, both Democrats and Republicans. Senators and representatives from states or districts where the foreign vote is large v/ere extremely timid about taking an open stand beside the President on the question of standing by the international right*; of the United States. In the final showdown on the McLemore resolution a considerable number of Democrats failed to support their President. Some lr Tight Place. Now, President Wilson, by compelling his party to put a hyphenated plank in its national platform, has placed every candidate for office in his party where he must either “fish or cut halt.’’ There can be no dodging this vital issue from this time on. The course the party has elected to adopt has unquestionably placed some of its Influential men in a tight place. William Joel Stone, United States senator from Missouri, Is in this class. Here In St. Louis, where the senator has always been strong politically, there i# a large vote that will undoubtedly take offense anew at the President because of his demand on the national convention. Senator Stone has right along striven to hold this vote for himself. After his course lii Washington It was the irony of fate, one might say, that made him chairman of the committee on resolutions that was to give the unpardonable offense to many of his local supporters. But Senator Stone, who is used here simply as a type, must go along with the President. From senator down to sheriff in every state the Den ocratic nominees have got to get in behind the President or go down to defeat. Consistent From Start. President Wilson’s course wtih respect to this conspiracy against the laws of the United States has been consistent from the start. He denounced it in his address to the congress last December and asked for legislation under which the government might be better able to cope with it. On numerous occasions since December, he has in his public addresses denounced It, and so the charge will not lie that his demand on this convention that it speak out on the subject was the result of anv sudden Impulse. '* As his friends here point out he would have been inconsistent had he not insisted that the convention include a hyphenate plank in its platform. Doubtless the President was reimnres#ed with the importance of his convention speaking out on the subject when he heard the boast that the German-American Alliance had influenced the Chicago convention to nominate Charles E. Hughes, and when he saw all the hyphenated newspapers in th*> United States-the same newspaper# that had been trying to embarrass him for more than two year#—openly coming to the support of the Republican nominee. Faces Trying Situation. Observers here who have been following American politics for a long time are commenting on the hard position the Republican nominee has been forced Into. With some of the oldest and most influential Republican newspapers In the country demanding of him that he shall say whether he is welcoming the support of the German-American Alliance, and with the men who followed Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 holding back until they are in possession of further Information Mr. Hughes, even his warmest supporter# admit. has a trying situation to deal with. The talk here is that he can hardly say anything on this hyphenated issue without getting himself into trouble. Continued silence would, of course, be fatal. An intimation that he welcomes the support of this organized force that is determined to defeat Wilson at any cost, it is asserted here, should low him the vote

Interest In Committee Meeting. Developments since the adjournment of the Republican and Progressive conventions in Chicago are turning the attention of the politicians to the meeting of the national committee of the Progressive party which is to be held in Chicago on the 26th of this month for the purpose of determining what that party shall do in the campaign. When the Progressives left Chicago at the tnd of last week the alien opposition to the re-election of President Wilson had not made its boast that It had brought about the nomination of Charles E. Hughes and would give Hughes Its enthusiastic support. There is every reason to believe that the developments of the last few days will tend to influence the Progressive national committee to provide a substitute candidate for President in case Roosevelt s final decision shall be not to accept the nomination of that party. Progressives who have been here all week watching the Democratic developments say privately that they would not be greatly surprised if Roosevelt should decide to make the race for the Progressives. These Progressives say frankly that they do not see how Roosevelt, In tha light of developments of this week, can give his support to the Republican nominee. They point out that his preconvention campaign was devoted almost exclusively to the issue of Americanism. His denunciation of the organized alien effort to set aside the Jaws of this country was emphatically severe. Some Predictions. Now that the Democratic party has got in behind his issue, and the Republican party Is in a defensive position to say the least, it will be interesting to watch for the advice Roosevelt will give the national committee of his Progressive party. It is well understood, of course, that Roosevelt has a personal dislike for President Wilson, and notwithstanding the kind of talk the Progressives here are Indulging In. men who think they know the trend of Roosevelt’s mind predict that he will finally accept Hughes as the "lesser evil,’’ to quote from one of Roosevelt's close friends. It is certain that there will be a powerful demand made on the national committee of the Progressives to maintain a presidential th We; regardless of the attitude of Roo#e\ elt.
