GRAIN AND STOCKS SELL AT LOWER PRICES Saturday's liifavorable Bank statement Causes a Decline in New York Securities- Entire List Ts Hammered Down—lmprored Weather Conditions 3Jake Grain Market Bearish. Grain and stocks sold lower yester- New York securities showed a ten- dency to weaken from the openings and the bear element took advantage of the situation and hammered down the entire list, with the exception of a few strong stocks. A large batch of selling orders ac- cumulated over Sunday, and these were 11 on the market at the opening. a unfavorable bank state- a factor in the decline. - :: was again the chief point of k. by the aggressive bear inter- - - St. Paul showed considerable gth. The favorable weather conditions - the past few days reacted on lay's grain market, and wheat, tad corn sold lower. The New - .:id drought has been broken, and ~a:her conditions in the West mproTed. government monthly report, \u25a0which will be issued tomorrow, is ex- ; I to show winter wheat in a poor light, but spring wheat is expected to loom up strong. Brokers are advising the purchase of all grains at the pres- ent prices, as a bull market is antici- pated. What the Brokers Say. O'Connor & Van Berg-en's stock letter says: Renewal of liquidation 'brought about a shn.rp break in prices at the opening, and the decline continued till afternoon, \u25a0when upon the covering of shorts, stocks rallied somewhat from the lowest. Ap- parently there were no new developments responsible for this renewed weakness ex- cepting Saturday's bank statement. The situation in the flooded district, with the exception of St. Louis, has improved, and the breaking of the drought in New Eng- land and the Middle states has been of great benefit, but many selling orders had accumulated over Sunday, and the mar- ket offered but little resistence and show- ed signs of demoralization. There was some calling of loans and rumor of finan- cial difficulties to come was persistently circulated. Atchison has continued to be the chief point of attack and reached the lowest point for many months. St. Paul End Pennsylvania received good support throughout the day, and there was some evidence in other stocks of investment buying, but of small volume. Although the government crop report due next Wednesday has been anticipated, its pub- lication is awaited with interest, ami while it will show considerable reduction In winter wheat, nevertheless the feeling as to crop situation on the part of those best informed Is that we will have much more than an average harvest. J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents Bay of stocks: ,^. Logan & BryanThe market is nerv- ous, irregular and generally lower. It has been raided severely by the bear ele- ment which is now numerous. There is, however, indications of good support in many good stocks, and conservative out- side buying is increasing. We think stocks should be bought and any declines from present prices will be regained. Dick Bros.—The market was very weak today. Aggressive drives caused sharp declines, particularly in Atehison. Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio. After 1 o'clock the selling pressure was lighter and some support was shown. Later there was a general rally and the tone at the close was strong. Walker Bros. —The market today was very weak and the liquidation heavy. All through the morning the traders sold heavily and the whole list declined. The close was about steady and the feeling slightly better. Bache —The trend of securities during the greater part of the day has been downward and the market displayed the same tendencies under the stimulus of lower figores from London, bear pressure was at once renewed in Atchison and to- gether with a fresh attack on Baltimore & Ohio the end of the first hour stocks at declines from 1 to 2% points. St. Paul tret with the best support in the early trading and acted as though large Inter- ests were accumulating stock on any weakness. The market closed with /air rally from th» lowest of the day, but with a feverish and uncertain tone. M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter says: Wheat —The market was lower on im- proved weather and ruled dull but steady the rest of the day. Indications are for continuance of fair weather The Pacific coast still needs rain. Cables "were easier on large world shipments - The government report Wednesday will show a material falling off in the condition of whiter wheat. Spring wheat's condition will be very high. Pending the issue of this report trade will be restricted. Corn—Fine weather in the West and showers in the East, except in New Eng- land, opened the market easier —The local rains in the East, while beneficial, are insufficient to repair the damage done. The hay crop is an al- most total failure, and oats and wheat can hardly exceed 50 per cent of the normal. Cable offers were accepted this morning and cash prices ruled steady at about %c decline. We advise purchases around present price. Oats—; The showery condition In parts of the East depressed the market at the opening. Outside trade was light and prices quiet and firm at the decline. Cash market was easier In sympathy with fail- ures. The government report is likely to be very bullish. In view of light receipts the serious situation in the East and the not too good promise of the new crop we strongly advise the purchase of Sep- tember. * S. B. Shotwell & Cos grain letter says- Wheat—The opening was heavy with poor support and continued scattered sell- ing for local and Northwest account- St Louis also sold some; visible supply showed a decrease of 1,817,000 bushels- market was quiet all day with the Sep- tember, the weakest option; the close U 5% c for Jniy or %c over low point for tho day; 72% c for September, or 3-16c over the. low point. «-CI-ifil£ e l stl£E l7 shows an Increase of 4»,600 bushels. The opening was weak with poor support and the market de- clined easily until the close, which was %c under Saturday's for both July and September; there was much scattered «2^?

STOCKS RESUME DIPS ACTIVE LIQUIDATION OF LAST WEEK IS KEPT UP Selling Spends Its Force in Last Hour and Room Traders Are Compelled to Bid Stocks Up a Little —Corn Carriers Are Chief Sufferers. NEW YORK, June B.—Further severe inroads upon prices of stocks were made today under a renewal of active liquida- tion. In the last hour of the market this liquidation had apparently spent its force and m order to cover their short contracts the room traders were obliged to bid up prices from 1 to li. for the active stocks, curtailing by that much the extreme losses of the day. The principal selling was among the corn carriers and the cotton carriers and the coalers were also subject to heavy selling pressure. These movements were passed in part upon the belated planting of the corn crop, the poor, condition of the cotton crop and the fears that labor troubles will again break oat in the anthracite mining region. An unconfirmed rumor that the new Rock Island author- izing are taking steps in the matter of rates that threaten a widespread unset- tlement in their territory was current but it was not clear that it had anything to do with today's weakness. Rock Island ; Itself was not as weak as some other . stocks. The decline of over three points I in Atcnison and the heavy dealing in that stock combined to make it the most con- spicuous in the day's trading. One Sensational Slump. The S3 3 -point drop in Reading was somewhat sensational, in view of the re- cent support in that stock and some of the Northwestern stocks, with unimpor- tant corn traffic, shared in the day's weakness. Chicago & North-Western sold -aown to 169, and Northern Securities on the curb went to a new low record. It was to be expected from the showing made by the banks in the Saturday's statement, there was some calling of loans and forced liquidation as a result The selling came from many directions Lon- don joining in the early offerings on ac- count of the advance in the discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany. Commission houses were also very gen- eral sellers on orders from many parts of this country. A small engagement of i gold for export to Germany was an- nounced, but this was without special effect as the question of large exports w, as i^ an open one, in spite of the lowering of the exchange rate, owing to the de- mand for money in Germany and the de- ne in the sterling rate both at Berlin and Paris. It Is reported that German banks, in their eagerness to obtain al- lotments of the lately issued imperial loan have committed themselves so largely as to demand a recall of German credits placed abroad. Demand for money in Ger- many is also attributed to reviving indus- trial activity. In our own market prepara- tion is being made for the payment of an installment of 17.500.000 of the subscrip- tions to the Metropolitan Securities com- pany due on Wednesday. The 50 per cent Installment on the new Pennsylvania stock,- calling for $45,000,000 is payable: from June 15 to June 27. although it is understood that the Pennsylvania com-. 1 pany s six months loan for $40,000 000 se- cured last January, is to be paid off with the proceeds of these subscriptions. No Embarrassment Feared. In spite of the severe declines today there was singularly little talk of financial embarrassment. But discussion in banking: circles of the size of the loans accorded' to: individual capitalists, especially amongst those whose recent great for- 1 tunes ha .- resulted, from the industrial combination process, indicate formidable figures. It is well understood that very large loans of this character are in progress of repayment and it is common- ly believed that important settlements have been made by private agreement, in- volving very large transfers of holdings in important railroad systems and arous- ing suggestions of possible changes on the control. There was a noticeably firm tone today m a few stocks which have! suffered most from some of the recent I liquidation, , notably Pennsylvania" New I J-S Central, St. Paul and Southern Pa-i cific But at other points the absorption of the offerings was still on a descending ' scale and clearly in the nature of acceot- j ances rather than \u25a0: bidding for stocks. The closing was about steady at the rally Bonds were irregular. Total sales oar value, $2,405,000. ° United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

CHICAGO. June B.—The^grain markets were governed almost entirely by the weather today and ruled weak. July wheat dosing %c lower, July corn %c lower and oats down %c. Provisions closed steady, the September products being from 5c lower to 5c higher. There was a moderate trade in wheat and prices had a lower tendency. The improvement in the weather condition 1?, together with disappointing cables, caused considerable selling at the start and open- ing prices were lower. July being %c to %c lower at 75% cto 75%c. Outside mar- kets were all lower, with St. Louis and . the Northwest especially weak and thi3 fact brought out plenty of long wheat, with little support, the market gradually yielded, July gradually selling off to 74%c. Late in the day commission houses who had sold earlier in the session, turned buyers and the market rallied somewhat. although only, a small part of the early loss was regained. The close was steady, with July %c lower at 75*4 c Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 367,000 bu. The visible supply decreased 1,817.000 bu, which was about what had been expected. Primary re- ceipts were 501,400 bu, against 516,300 bu a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re- ported receipts of 409 cars, which, with local receipts of 41 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 450 ears, against .393 cars a year ago. Weakness in Corn. In spite of bullish foreign news and firm cables, the corn pit experienced considerable weakness throughout the day. the greatly improved weather con- ditions bemg the dominating influence. Local longs led in the selling, while out- side traders were also on that side of the market. Shorts covered on the decline, but the demand was not sufficient to cause any material advance and the close was steady at the decline, July being *c low-er at 47% c after selling between 47%c find 48:!4c. Local receipts were 456 cars, with 21 of contract grade. Oats started wea.k in sympathy with the decline in other grains and on much- needed rains in the East, together with better weather West and Southwest. Of- ferings were liberal early in the day, local longs being the best sellers, but the mar- ket was supported by three of four con- cerns who took all the offerings, which soon resulted in a better feeling. Trading was quiet and featureless the latter part of the day and the market closed steady, with July off %c. at 36^4c, after ranging between S6c and £6%c. Local receipts were 210 cars. Provisions were dull and about the only feature was the changing from July to the more distant months. The weakness in grains had a depressing influence early in the day, but with a fair demand for iard and ribs, with light offerings, a firmer tone developed. September pork closed 5c lower at $16.75, September lard was a shade higher at $8.87%\u25a0&8.90, and ribs were up 5c at $9.17%. The estimated receipts for tomorrow are: Wheat. 45 cars; corn, 450 cars; oats, 280 cars, and 17.000 head of hogs. Range of Quotations.

The dip was due to a general improvement in the weather. Over Sunday the low barometer shifted east and northeast and by yesterday was covering the eastern end of Ontario and apparently tending to throw some precipi- tation over the New England drought dis- tricts. There wai?. in fact, some rain over New York and the drought situation was improved, but there w?\i no such rain- fall as is necessary and trte more favor- able situation was due ratljer to the good promise of rain relief than to any relief actually experienced. The West and Southwest had practically no rain, which was a good thing, and the Northwest had a little sprinkle. The forecast is for good weather. Minneapolis received 401 cars, against 370. and Duluth 8 against 9. The market closed easy and near the low points, July at 78*4 c, and September at 71*bc. The cash market was the most active seen for a long time, its receipts running larg- er than has been usual of late, and deman^ being very active. Prices were well main- tained relative to option, and No. 1 north- ern sold at 79%@80c_the bulk at the top figure. No. 2 northern was an excellent sale also, and brought 7S*4/a79*^c, the top price being paid for the larger part of it. There was good demand all through, the low grades being cleaned up promptly.

General Man- ager of the George A. Treadwell Mining Company, writes under date of May 24th: '"On the second and third level of the Queen we have actually blocked out and ready to take down over forty thousand —enough to keep a hundred-ton fur- nace running' for over a year." This ore is worth $10 a ton as it stands In the mine. There is more than that net profit over and above all expenses in tak- ing it out and smelting it. \u25a0 The work of blocking out the ore has only just commenced. Six months from now we are likely to have ten times as much "blocked out and ready to take down, and even that will hardly be a drop in the bucket in comparison with what we have waiting for us. Professor Treadwell has already demonstrated that m the Iron Queen and adjacent mines alone we have three miles in length of veins from five to forty feet in width and many thousand feet in depth. The forty thousand tons occurs all within three hundred feet in depth and only a few hundred feet in length. The ore car- ries high values in gold as well as copper. Mr. ErR-in D. Treadwell. as the' result of close calculations and many experiments estimates that the gold values alone will pay the entire cost of mining and smelt- ing the ore, leaving the copper cost free. That is even belter, than our neighbor, the United Verde, does. Our smelters. are nearly ready to run, and the enterprise is close to a self-sus- taining and dividend-paying stage. Only a little more of the Treasury stock is for sale to complete the development and equipment of the property. Prices will be quoted on application. GEO. A. TREADWELL MINING CO. 27 William Street.

GRAIN AND STOCKSSELL AT LOWER

PRICES

Saturday's liifavorable Bank

statement Causes a Decline

in New York Securities-Entire List Ts HammeredDown—lmprored WeatherConditions 3Jake GrainMarket Bearish.

Grain and stocks sold lower yester-

New York securities showed a ten-dency to weaken from the openings andthe bear element took advantage ofthe situation and hammered down theentire list, with the exception of a fewstrong stocks.

A large batch of selling orders ac-cumulated over Sunday, and these were

11 on the market at the opening.a unfavorable bank state-

a factor in the decline.- :: was again the chief point ofk. by the aggressive bear inter-- - St. Paul showed considerablegth.

The favorable weather conditions- the past few days reacted onlay's grain market, and wheat,tad corn sold lower. The New

- .:id drought has been broken, and~a:her conditions in the West

mproTed.government monthly report,

\u25a0which will be issued tomorrow, is ex-; I to show winter wheat in a poorlight, but spring wheat is expected toloom up strong. Brokers are advisingthe purchase of all grains at the pres-ent prices, as a bull market is antici-pated.

What the Brokers Say.O'Connor & Van Berg-en's stock letter

says:Renewal of liquidation 'brought abouta shn.rp break in prices at the opening,

and the decline continued till afternoon,\u25a0when upon the covering of shorts, stocksrallied somewhat from the lowest. Ap-parently there were no new developmentsresponsible for this renewed weakness ex-cepting Saturday's bank statement. Thesituation in the flooded district, with theexception of St. Louis, has improved, andthe breaking of the drought in New Eng-land and the Middle states has been ofgreat benefit, but many selling orders hadaccumulated over Sunday, and the mar-ket offered but little resistence and show-ed signs of demoralization. There wassome calling of loans and rumor of finan-cial difficulties to come was persistentlycirculated. Atchison has continued to bethe chief point of attack and reached thelowest point for many months. St. PaulEnd Pennsylvania received good supportthroughout the day, and there was someevidence in other stocks of investmentbuying, but of small volume. Althoughthe government crop report due nextWednesday has been anticipated, its pub-lication is awaited with interest, amiwhile it will show considerable reductionIn winter wheat, nevertheless the feelingas to crop situation on the part of thosebest informed Is that we will have muchmore than an average harvest.

J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondentsBay of stocks: ,^.

Logan & BryanThe market is nerv-ous, irregular and generally lower. Ithas been raided severely by the bear ele-ment which is now numerous. There is,however, indications of good support inmany good stocks, and conservative out-side buying is increasing. We thinkstocks should be bought and any declinesfrom present prices will be regained.

Dick Bros.—The market was very weaktoday. Aggressive drives caused sharpdeclines, particularly in Atehison. UnionPacific, Missouri Pacific and Baltimore &Ohio. After 1 o'clock the selling pressurewas lighter and some support was shown.Later there was a general rally and thetone at the close was strong.

Walker Bros. —The market today wasvery weak and the liquidation heavy. Allthrough the morning the traders soldheavily and the whole list declined. Theclose was about steady and the feelingslightly better.

Bache —The trend of securities duringthe greater part of the day has beendownward and the market displayed thesame tendencies under the stimulus oflower figores from London, bear pressurewas at once renewed in Atchison and to-gether with a fresh attack on Baltimore &Ohio the end of the first hour stocks atdeclines from 1 to 2% points. St. Paultret with the best support in the earlytrading and acted as though large Inter-ests were accumulating stock on anyweakness. The market closed with /airrally from th» lowest of the day, but witha feverish and uncertain tone.

M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain lettersays:Wheat —The market was lower on im-proved weather and ruled dull butsteady the rest of the day. Indicationsare for continuance of fair weather The

Pacific coast still needs rain. Cables "wereeasier on large world shipments - Thegovernment report Wednesday will showa material falling off in the conditionof whiter wheat. Spring wheat's conditionwill be very high. Pending the issue ofthis report trade will be restricted.

Corn—Fine weather in the West andshowers in the East, except in New Eng-land, opened the market easier

—The local rains in the East, whilebeneficial, are insufficient to repair thedamage done. The hay crop is an al-most total failure, and oats and wheatcan hardly exceed 50 per cent of thenormal. Cable offers were accepted thismorning and cash prices ruled steady atabout %c decline. We advise purchasesaround present price.

Oats—;The showery condition In partsof the East depressed the market at theopening. Outside trade was light andprices quiet and firm at the decline. Cashmarket was easier In sympathy with fail-ures. The government report is likely tobe very bullish. In view of light receiptsthe serious situation in the East and thenot too good promise of the new cropwe strongly advise the purchase of Sep-tember. *

S. B. Shotwell & Cos grain letter says-Wheat—The opening was heavy withpoor support and continued scattered sell-ing for local and Northwest account- StLouis also sold some; visible supplyshowed a decrease of 1,817,000 bushels-market was quiet all day with the Sep-tember, the weakest option; the close

STOCKS RESUME DIPSACTIVE LIQUIDATION OF LAST

WEEK IS KEPT UP

Selling Spends Its Force in Last Hour andRoom Traders Are Compelled to BidStocks Up a Little—Corn Carriers Are

Chief Sufferers.

NEW YORK, June B.—Further severeinroads upon prices of stocks were madetoday under a renewal of active liquida-tion. In the last hour of the market thisliquidation had apparently spent its forceand m order to cover their short contractsthe room traders were obliged to bid upprices from 1 to li. for the active stocks,curtailing by that much the extremelosses of the day.

The principal selling was among thecorn carriers and the cotton carriers andthe coalers were also subject to heavyselling pressure. These movements werepassed in part upon the belated plantingof the corn crop, the poor, condition of thecotton crop and the fears that labortroubles will again break oat in theanthracite mining region. An unconfirmedrumor that the new Rock Island author-izing are taking steps in the matter ofrates that threaten a widespread unset-tlement in their territory was currentbut it was not clear that it had anythingto do with today's weakness. Rock Island; Itself was not as weak as some other. stocks. The decline of over three points

I in Atcnison and the heavy dealing in thatstock combined to make it the most con-spicuous in the day's trading.

One Sensational Slump.The S3 3 -point drop in Reading was

somewhat sensational, in view of the re-cent support in that stock and some ofthe Northwestern stocks, with unimpor-tant corn traffic, shared in the day'sweakness. Chicago & North-Western sold-aown to 169, and Northern Securities onthe curb went to a new low record. Itwas to be expected from the showingmade by the banks in the Saturday'sstatement, there was some calling of loansand forced liquidation as a result Theselling came from many directions Lon-don joining in the early offerings on ac-count of the advance in the discount rateof the Imperial Bank of Germany.Commission houses were also very gen-eral sellers on orders from many partsof this country. A small engagement of igold for export to Germany was an-nounced, but this was without specialeffect as the question of large exportsw,as

i

an open one, in spite of the loweringof the exchange rate, owing to the de-mand for money in Germany and the de-ne in the sterling rate both at Berlinand Paris. It Is reported that Germanbanks, in their eagerness to obtain al-lotments of the lately issued imperial loanhave committed themselves so largely asto demand a recall of German creditsplaced abroad. Demand for money in Ger-many is also attributed to reviving indus-trial activity. In our own market prepara-tion is being made for the payment of aninstallment of 17.500.000 of the subscrip-tions to the Metropolitan Securities com-pany due on Wednesday. The 50 per centInstallment on the new Pennsylvaniastock,- calling for $45,000,000 is payable:from June 15 to June 27. although it isunderstood that the Pennsylvania com-.1

pany s six months loan for $40,000 000 se-cured last January, is to be paid off withthe proceeds of these subscriptions.No Embarrassment Feared.

In spite of the severe declines todaythere was singularly little talk of financialembarrassment. But discussion in banking:circles of the size of the loans accorded'to: individual capitalists, especiallyamongst those whose recent great for- 1tunes ha .- resulted, from the industrialcombination process, indicate formidablefigures. It is well understood that verylarge loans of this character are inprogress of repayment and it is common-ly believed that important settlementshave been made by private agreement, in-volving very large transfers of holdingsin important railroad systems and arous-ing suggestions of possible changes onthe control. There was a noticeably firmtone today m a few stocks which have!suffered most from some of the recent Iliquidation, ,notably Pennsylvania" New IJ-S Central, St. Paul and Southern Pa-icific But at other points the absorptionof the offerings was still on a descending 'scale and clearly in the nature of acceot- j

ances rather than \u25a0: bidding for stocks.The closing was about steady at the rallyBonds were irregular. Total sales oarvalue, $2,405,000. ° United States bondswere all unchanged on the last call.

ALL GRAINS ARE DOWNMARKETS ARE GOVERNED BY

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Moderate Trade \n Wheat, DisappointingCables and Improved Weather SituationCausing Considerable Selling—MarketRallies Partially Late In the Session.

CHICAGO. June B.—The^grain marketswere governed almost entirely by theweather today and ruled weak. July wheatdosing %c lower, July corn %c lower andoats down %c. Provisions closed steady,the September products being from 5clower to 5c higher.

There was a moderate trade in wheatand prices had a lower tendency. Theimprovement in the weather condition 1?,

together with disappointing cables, causedconsiderable selling at the start and open-ing prices were lower. July being %c to%c lower at 75% cto 75%c. Outside mar-kets were all lower, with St. Louis and. the Northwest especially weak and thi3fact brought out plenty of long wheat,with little support, the market graduallyyielded, July gradually selling off to 74%c.Late in the day commission houses whohad sold earlier in the session, turnedbuyers and the market rallied somewhat.although only, a small part of the earlyloss was regained. The close was steady,with July %c lower at 75*4 c

Clearances of wheat and flour wereequal to 367,000 bu. The visible supplydecreased 1,817.000 bu, which was aboutwhat had been expected. Primary re-ceipts were 501,400 bu, against 516,300 bua year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-ported receipts of 409 cars, which, withlocal receipts of 41 cars, none of contractgrade, made total receipts for the threepoints of 450 ears, against .393 cars a yearago.

Weakness in Corn.In spite of bullish foreign news and

firm cables, the corn pit experiencedconsiderable weakness throughout theday. the greatly improved weather con-ditions bemg the dominating influence.Local longs led in the selling, while out-side traders were also on that side of themarket. Shorts covered on the decline,but the demand was not sufficient tocause any material advance and the closewas steady at the decline, July being *clow-er at 47% cafter selling between 47%cfind 48:!4c. Local receipts were 456 cars,with 21 of contract grade.

Oats started wea.k in sympathy withthe decline in other grains and on much-needed rains in the East, together withbetter weather West and Southwest. Of-ferings were liberal early in the day, locallongs being the best sellers, but the mar-ket was supported by three of four con-cerns who took all the offerings, whichsoon resulted in a better feeling. Tradingwas quiet and featureless the latter partof the day and the market closed steady,with July off %c. at 36^4c, after rangingbetween S6c and £6%c. Local receiptswere 210 cars.

Provisions were dull and about the onlyfeature was the changing from July to themore distant months. The weakness ingrains had a depressing influence early inthe day, but with a fair demand for iardand ribs, with light offerings, a firmertone developed. September pork closed 5clower at $16.75, September lard was ashade higher at $8.87%\u25a0&8.90, and ribswere up 5c at $9.17%.

The estimated receipts for tomorroware: Wheat. 45 cars; corn, 450 cars; oats,280 cars, and 17.000 head of hogs.

Minneapolis—A sharp little setbackopened the curb in the speculative wheatmarket, and September wheat was downaround 71*4 early, July wheat sellingaround 78*4@7S%c. The dip was due toa general improvement in the weather.Over Sunday the low barometer shiftedeast and northeast and by yesterday wascovering the eastern end of Ontario andapparently tending to throw some precipi-tation over the New England drought dis-tricts. There wai?. in fact, some rainover New York and the drought situationwas improved, but there w?\i no such rain-fall as is necessary and trte more favor-able situation was due ratljer to the goodpromise of rain relief than to any reliefactually experienced. The West andSouthwest had practically no rain, whichwas a good thing, and the Northwest hada little sprinkle. The forecast is for goodweather.

Minneapolis received 401 cars, against370. and Duluth 8 against 9. The marketclosed easy and near the low points, Julyat 78*4c, and September at 71*bc. Thecash market was the most active seenfor a long time, its receipts running larg-er than has been usual of late, and deman^being very active. Prices were well main-tained relative to option, and No. 1 north-ern sold at 79%@80c_the bulk at the topfigure.

40,000 Tons of OreActually Blocked Out. end Ready

to Take Down*Mr. Erwln D. TreadweM. General Man-ager of the George A. Treadwell Mining

Company, writes under date of May 24th:'"On the second and third level of the

Queen we have actually blocked out andready to take down over forty thousand—enough to keep a hundred-ton fur-nace running' for over a year."This ore is worth $10 a ton as it standsIn the mine. There is more than that netprofit over and above all expenses in tak-ing it out and smelting it. \u25a0

The work of blocking out the ore hasonly just commenced. Six months fromnow we are likely to have ten times asmuch "blocked out and ready to takedown, and even that will hardly be adrop in the bucket in comparison withwhat we have waiting for us. ProfessorTreadwell has already demonstrated thatm the Iron Queen and adjacent minesalone we have three miles in length ofveins from five to forty feet in widthand many thousand feet in depth. Theforty thousand tons occurs all withinthree hundred feet in depth and only afew hundred feet in length. The ore car-ries high values in gold as well as copper.Mr. ErR-in D. Treadwell. as the' result ofclose calculations and many experimentsestimates that the gold values alone willpay the entire cost of mining and smelt-ing the ore, leaving the copper cost free.That is even belter, than our neighbor,the United Verde, does.

Our smelters. are nearly ready to run,and the enterprise is close to a self-sus-taining and dividend-paying stage. Onlya little more of the Treasury stock isfor sale to complete the development andequipment of the property.

Prices will be quoted on application.
