Liverpool was relatively steady over the American holiday and the local market after open ing steady at unchanged prices to a de cline of four points sold three ov four points above Saturday’s closing figures. Offerings were light enough to suggest that the heavy selling last week had 1 een much reduced the long Interest and there was probably some fresh buying as well as covering on rather unfavor able private evop reviews and the fail ure of the weather map to show further rains in sections recently complaining of dry hot ewather. After selling about ten to sixteen points net higher during the middle of the morning on covering and buying for a reaction the market became less active and prices eased off a few points from the oest following the detailed weather v ports showing good rains iiv<he east ern belt. , , The vain reports failed to inspire much selling and the market soon steadied again on renewed covering, with active months ruling about nine to sixteen points net higher during the middle or tJ:e afternoon.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago. -Unfavorable weather in the spring crop region bad a Dullisir effect today on wheat. Exceptionally heavy receipts of new winter wheat tended, however, to acl as an offset. The open ing. which varied from half a 5-8 off to 3-8 advance was followed by a ma terial rise all around, then the gain en tirely disappeared and July underwent a decided sag. Heavy selling by commission houses broke the price of corn. After starting unchanged to 3-8 lower quotations ral lied somewhat and then went sharply downgrade. Complaints of rust held oats relatively steady. Higner prices for lings had only tem porary Influence on provisions. December wheat prices touched a new low level sets the crop but a liberal de crease in the visible supply helped cause a reaction. The close was steady at 5-8 to 5-Ba3-4 net decline.

COTTON THIS WEEK New Orleans. —The cotton market lost thia last week 36 to 37 points on fu tures, compared with the close of the preceding week. Selling was heavy from liquidating longs and considerable short cotton was placed. The main features that stimulated offerings were the con dition report on Wednesday, the showers and low temperatures In (he belt to ward the end of the week and the poor cable reports from Liverpool. Bears considered that the crop Im proved as the result of the weather con ditions of the week and that while the condition figures of 79.6 per cent, were higher than expected the percentage of condition was higher at the end of the week than it was on June 25th, the date to which the government figures car ried the crop. Bulls were not favor abb impressed by the rainfall of the week which, on the whole, was light. This next week the trade is going to pay more attention to the matter of rainfall over the belt than to any other thing. Good rains and normally high temperatures will probably cause liberal selling while a return to dvoughty con ditions and high temperatures would probably result iu renewed aggressive ness among the bulls. There were Indications on the close of last week that cable news might im prove in some respects this coming week. Large tenders have been against the market recently but a private mes sage stated that all tenders were being stopped which ought to result in a bet ter feeling. WEEK Tn’ViNANCE New York.—There is a sense of relief in stock market circles over the passing of the dullest June, as to volume of busi ness. In twenty years. Bonds were In better demand at higher levels, due to activity In a few low' grades affected by re-organizations and to reinvestment of mid-year interest and dividend pay ments. The firm undertone signalized the feeling that probably will lead into the future. The market’s resistance to the previous week’s shock of the Claflln failure tfnd last week's Austrian tragedy emphasised (his feeling. Growing realization of the influence on business of the prodigious grain crops in prospect helped materially. Enormous sales of the new wheat for export coqfivmed reports of foreign shortage, coincident with our abundance. The government cotton estimate proved the previous month’s deficiency in con dition mostly made up. This assurance of extraordinary increase in the year’s production of primary wealth reacted on all departments of business and industry. This factor was supplemented by the faint hope that the freight rate decision would be known before the resumption of another week’s trading. Remaining un certainty on the seope and tenor of the decision whh n partial restraint In specu lative activity, but in tbe final days of the week sentiment became more cheer ful as a result of the conference be tween President Wilson and th repre sentative of a leading banking Interest. Portentous piling up of gold in Paris gives security for the success of next week’s French loan issue, and other money markets relapsed Into ease after the July Ist requirements. The French loan. It is expected, will lead to other issues which will bring out Investment capital and release the severe conges tion of resources of the great credit banks In short time securities. Mexico, Ulster, Albania and trust leg islation receded into the background, without entirely dropping out of consid eration. * HOW THE GIANTS ARE TURNING THE TRICK New York.—-One of the big secrets of the success of tlie r.iants is their ability to rise up 111 a crisis and soak solidly upon the knob any and all contenders for first place honors. It has been the ease this year. It was the ease Inst year and In nearly all the other years that Mcflraw has held the reins. The sudden strength shown by the Clients against strong teams, Imme diately following a period of floundering, seems almost uncanny. The Pirates breezed along at a merry clip eurly this season. It seemed noth ing could stop them. The (Hants, in the meantime had been Just merely ambling along. finally the (Hants wan dered Into Pittsburg for a four-game sc ries with the Pirates. On past showings It looked like three out of four or four straight for the (Hants. But It ended Just the other way. The -Giants sur prised everybody by whirling around and delivering a crushing blow upon the domes of the Pirates. The Cincinnati Reds started on their recent western trip Just a few games be hind the first place Giants. The Reds against the Braves, Phillies and Dodgers fared mighty well. They played good, consistent Baseball. The Giants, In the meantime, had a mighty Job getting an even break with the Pirates, Cardinals and Cubs who had preceded the Reds at the Polo grounds. Then the Reds came along. A “croo clal serine" was In prospect. Pour straight would put the Reds In first place, while three out of four would put them only a few points from the top. It looked rosy for the Reds for they had been playing real baseball while the Giants for the two weeks previous had been Just lumering through their games. Well, the Reds came,—and the Giants whaled the daylights out of them. The Reds threatened to oust them from first place and the Giants stiffened their backbones, cleared the decks for action and took the entire series. The Giants hadn't been able to do much against the other three western teams that came, lint Just as soon as the team came along that was in the runner-up position they gavp that team an almighty healing, and incidently. Increased their hold on first place. In T 913 It was the Phillies who proved to be the Giant's most formidable foes throughout the year. The Giants had considerable trouble beating the so-cull ed weaker teams, which the Phillies walloped with ease and dispatch, but every time the Giants met the Phillies It meant a beautiful beating for the Quaker town gang And so It was in 1912 and 1911. The (Hants found It rattier rough sledding when they bump ed the weukfT clubs, hut Just ns soon as they slacked up against real opposition against clubs that threatened to oust them from the top they played like fiends,—and won.

Crowds Line Route, Joe Chamberlain’s Funeral Birmingham, Eng. —The body of Joseph Chamberlain, for many years a prominent figure In British politics, was burled today In Hookley Ceme tery In the conatltueney he long rep resented In the house of commons. A memorial service was attended by the lord mayor of Birmingham, members of the city council and other civic dignitaries. Apart from the civic element the mourners at both the church and cem etery consisted solely of the members of the Chamberlain family, as the late statesman had expressed the desire that his funeral should be free from everything of a Public nature.

"We tried them in Norway but did not succeed. We shall no doubt do better at the South Pole when we are more hungry.” The menu prepared for the party is not an enticing one. It luts been de ckled upon, however, under the advice of the Royal Army Medical College nnd la made up of food that Is easy to transport and at the same time will keep the body warm and strong.

This lottery, the greatest'of its kind in the world, is controlled by 'the Calcutta Turf Club, and the first prize is never less than a quarter of a million dollars. Hugs prizes go to the drawers of the second and third horses and there are con solation prizes of $2,500 for the holder of a ticket which secures a starter. Attention. The Jockey Club have given exhaus tive attention to the subject ami have had conversations with stewards of the Calcutta Turf Club. Tho latter body hits the matter under consider ation and have promised to omit clauses In the rules of the sweepstakes which might lend tin Inducement to owners to run horses, which otherwise might not be started.

I'll give you half If you start It and if It wins you can have $50,000 out of prize money.” An authority on these matters tells me that It Is likely that the Calcutta Turf Club will refrain from cabling to people successful in tho draw until ll Is too late for them to make any secret arrangements with owners r>* horses in tile race. oats, mixed with other rations, afford tin; bulk necessary to keep the organs front becoming atrophied.

I hope that this time hunger will play a very small Part In our troubles.” As the party intends to cut right across the continent, a march of 1800 tulles, they will have to carry all their food with them, and cannot like pre-' vloits explorers, whose objective was the |iole, depend upon food depots on the return march. Therefore the great est utlerition is being paid to provis ions. The organization is perfect so far as human Ingenuity can devise.

With the last 800 miles Hir Ernest is fairly fa miliar. having crossed and re-crossed it on his trip to the pole.
