JULY HITS LOW POINT FOR CROP IN WHEAT MART Lack of Aggressive Buying Responsible for Most of Downturn. Su United Press CHICAGO, June 13. General commission house and local selling drove July wheat to anew low on the crop just before noon on the board of trade, bringing in the first real buying of the day. Prices, however, closed sharply lower, stop-loss orders being picked up on the way down and only buying against bids and some short covering serving to check the decline. Lack of aggressive buying has become the chief factor, all grains feeling the effect of this. Rye and oats also hit new bottoms during the day, corn holding better than the other grains. At the close wheat was 2 to 2%c lower, corn was M to %c lower, and oats was % to %c lower. Provisions were steady. Liverpool steadied somewhat on the early strength at Winnipeg and prices closed unevenly, lie lower to %c higher. Cables report foreign buyers still holding off, expecting lower prices. Traders were nervous during the morning, scanning all Canadian dispatches for news affecting prices. Cash prices were tic lower. Receipts were 5 cars. Com started lower with wheat and on the larger receipts, but buyers appeared and ran prices up quickly, the market holding a fair fractional gain at mid-session. The rally in wheat aided the recovery. Overnight sales to go east were reported at 50,000 bushels early. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 161 cars. Oats had a firm tone and held around steady most of the morning Grains under renewed pressure; were unchanged. Receipts were 24 cars.

In the Stock Market
ißy Thomson A McKinnon i NEW YORK, June 13.—There appeared to be less nervousness today in the stock market, a better undertone developing as the session progressed. Pessimism seems to be subsiding. Business news of the day, however, continues to give no dew to the probable action of the market. Offsetting the return of price weakness in commodities is the interesting development that Russia contemplates taking a large tonnage of raw sugar. Injection of some life in this member of the commodity family, which has been so long in distress, gives rise to hopefulness that commodities may after all be scraping bottom, and a turn for the better in other departments not unlikely. Leading bankers and business executives do not seem to share in the current wave of gloom. They say business is not so bad and should occasion no misgiving as long as it does not grow worse. The lack of stability in the stock market is creating more doubt over the possibility of trade revival than anything that has developed in business. Admittedly many problems in business are yet to be solved. That a solution will be found there can be no serious doubt. Industry’ always heretofore has risen to the occasion and mastered its difficulties. The present situation should prove no exception. Insofar as the stock market is concerned when pessimism is so abundant it usually narks a turning point in price trends. In our opinion, it seems re i son able and logical to expect more stability, if not improvement, in the near future.

In the Cotton Markets
(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. June 13.—A holiday in Liverpool restricted business in cotton this morning. Selling by local traders started the market 10 to 15 points lower. The tone was not weak, however, and before the morning was over price gradually worked up to the previous close. Showery conditions prevail in the south. Beneficial so far. perhaps, but as the map seertis to change slowly, complaints of grassy fields are apt to come in next wek. A large short interest is thought to exist. If he crop is to have any good weather, June is counted on to supply it Textiles have reached a point where any change is more than apt to be for the better. The market was drifting about in the early afternoon about 5 points below Thursday's close. Average trader is convinced that the market must go lower.
