GLOWS FISMNOIAL KEVTEfiV. ‘New York, June L—(Special.)—On tfw? stock exchange there haa been this week some Interruption of the pre vailing buoyancy. Flmt In London and then her»> there a disposition to realize 4he large profits on the Uto ad vance In prices, all of which was natu ral and healthy. Next came discourag ing reports cf serious Injury to the crops from the kits spurt of cold . weatfwr, together with rum ms of ln-itic« ft* ‘some’rtme longer, in the mean- market. was naturally sensitive after having counted upon the iprosect of a flue harvest. Concurrently .with these facts are reports of a renewal of “bear- ish” attacks upon /American Invest- mr-ifrs by certain London Journals no torious for their pessimistic attitude towards our securities. tVnd to these Irtferruptlona must be added the occiw- rence of holidays both her© and in London. The effect of all this has been to draw out a certain extent of 'ibear” atoack and to 'produce some yielding tn prices. The effect of these Influences, however, ha? been less than mlgirt have •been expected In view of such an Im portant nd-vance as has occurred, and towards the close of 1 he week a recov ering tendency set in-, notwithstanding that (both today and Monday are bank holidays in London, The market appears to have ac counted the worst -probabilities respect ing the wheat crop and now begins to consider ths other side of the case. €5o far .the facts are that tho the crop ie unusually ‘backward, owing flrBt to drougth In the early stages of Its growth and then to the check from sudden exposure to severs cold. I't is not Impossible that this mny# In any case ,'provt* a fT*»mnanrnt injury; but at the game time the extent of the in jury must greatly depe-od upon the future course of the weather. It is not at all impossibly nor wen unlikely, that wfch plenty of moisture the crop may yet turn out a fair or average one. The plant has not yet aihaormea the soil elements of nutrition, and should the atmoapherls elements of growth prove propitious fhe recovery of the plant may sunpa** who* to now anticipated. Moreover, the complaints are confined almost exclusively to the wheat crop. The corn crop is vastly more Imjtortant, its bulk being four fold ami its value more than double that of wheat. This year, owing to the high price of com and the low price 01 wheat, the acreage of Indian corn 18 likely to lb* unusually large, and at present There are no conditions unfa vorable to the .prospects of 'tho crop. Taking the afi-i *culfcunal prospects as they exist 'today, there Is nothing in th-un really Incompatible w?Mi the hope of a good harvest. Very much, how ever, must depend upon the course of the weal'her for the next few weeks. There is no certainty In either direction and the present sltualon, thererore, calls for reservation of Judgment! as to the harvest factor in investments. Apart from these crop considerations, thb underlying conditions and tone of the market remain unchanged. There no abatement of confidence In .‘.he permanence of th“ revival of general trade which eot In wfth the nprtng business- .The boot evidence of the recovery In the manufacturing tndus- MjUco Is the .continuous advance In wages, mostly voluntarily granted- by employers, in most cases the now tariff duties seem to Impose no ob stacle to production; in Home, manu facturer* find a positive advantage. The problem now. Indeed, seems to be lesa how to compete with foreigners in the home market than how to outdo them In foreign market*, In which the chance* for Americans are becom ing more hopeful and are attracting Increased attention. Among these In close contact with our Industries, the conviction appturw to be gaining ground that we have entered upon a period of rhusua! growth and pros perity In manufaoturln enterprise generally, and that. In some of the leading maples, we are entering the lists for an active competltjn in the world’s mairkets. The linpvoved statu* of our Invest ments In Europe shows signs of fur ther progress- The education of In vestors iifiw to be poshing from the narrow and pretentious critics of the press to the letter Informed and more oanUDd llinkers and financiers .whose Judgments are really direct the courae of European Investment. It is a tell ing comment upon the value of edi torial opinion in London that while economists tmd statists hanso b<vn pen tl'f inly deriving our corporate In vestment*, bahkers have, within the last three months, placed eontc |130,- 000,000 of our bonds and stock« in the London and Continental markets. Tills week, an Issue uf $5,000,000 of railroad bonds drt'w out $10,000,000 of offer* Orom London before the securities were openly offered; and beetle* that $200,- 000,000 of oblibations of an electrical icolrnoratfon were negotiated In the same market. Bopopc M*ms to no Ioniser attach any serious Importance to tbe~poritlon or uio silver question hi ri>a. country. Observ ers thero seem to have reached the con clusion thut our ag-ltattov alxart rrea cotnaga lx but an aphenwrat phase popular Ignorance, destine.] to disappear under the Induence of the oonaernative common b«»c or the peopDe at <a*w. and their Judgment Is a safe one. In tne South and the Weal, a very marked re action .i*v,tnst national free outpace has set In wider the diffusion of Information through the various sound money agen cies, and the beet Judges of sentiment aril politics In those sections agree tntrt the silver kings ci*i mates no further progress tn their effort* to create a gov ernment mau-ket for their product, there la a quasi-consenvafSvo element among uh nho have clung do the hope treat a settlement nricta be reached through es- tabHetrtng International Umetarllam, but the hopes of that e)asa are At ding through the gTowlng evidences of the Improb- abVtlty of brinif-ng adbut such an agree ment; If not also from growing misgiv ings whether such an arrangement woutd prove equal to twovldlng fee a present annual wotld-prclluet of $200,001,eon of tne motnt awl pfObaUty a yearly Increase In addttton.
