Increasing stocks at Liverpool counted to a
material extent ai times against the bulls In
wheat and also did the fact that world ship-

been looked for. Besides, the I'nited States
visible supply decrease was small.
Assertions that much replanting would be
necessary in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska lifted
the corn market. Moreover, the cold, wet
weather was uccouipuuled by complaints that
no replanting eould be done until after at
least several dry, hot days. Oats weakened
oh account of generally favorable conditions.

By BROADAN WALL.
NEW YORK. May 29.—The death of James
J. Hill had no influence on the stock market
today, either in the issues subject to his domi
nation or elsewhere. The chief reason for this
was that Mr. Hill's work was of such a general
character and that he put men of tested ability
in every position of importance throughout ti e
railroad systems over which he exercised con
trol. Owing to present prosperity, the public
will probably not realise the great loss railroad
business in general his suffered. Morgan was
a railroad banker; Harrlman was a railroad
speculator, but Hill was n railroad builder, and
fortunately he was spa.ed until his structure
was measurably complete The market was ex
tremely quiet. The dullness was largely, of
• ourse, duo to the fact that the one day of
business was sandwiched in between two holi-
days. Net results of the session were gains,
but the advance in most every ease was due to
short covering of contracts that had been left
open over Sunday.
Motor stock* furnished most of the day's
activity ami this activity did not please the
street, especially as the chief event was a break
of 57\ points on a single transaction in (Jen
eral Motors. This break caused speculators to
do some hard thinking, as they contemplated
ihe rails advances and the daily new high rec-
ords made in the automobile lists. I'nited Mo-
tors made a high record, and other popular
issues were strong, but the breuk in General
Motors knocked all the enthusiasm out of the
street and the Insiders had the manipulation
all to- themselves.
Strength was marked in the tire stocks, among
which Kelley-Springfield, Lee Tire and United
States Rubber were most prominent,
Some of the activity in motors was based
in the theory that gasoline is declining in
price. There have been reductions of 1 or 2
cents a gallon in various parts of the country,
but these are not significant, being merely
reactions in the general upward swing. The
most conservative calculation shows that the
world's demand for gasoline this year will l*»
400.000.000 gallons in excess of the possible
supply. The real demand Is just beginning to
be felt, for it is only now that pleasure auto-
mobiles are coming out of their winter store-
houses in great numbers.
Engineers for automobile companies are hard
at work in an effort to produce motors that
will give high mileage for gasoline and that
will burn a lower grade of fuel. Such inven
tions, if perfected, can have uo influence on the
price of gasoline this year, for all the «*ars
that can bo sold this season are In process of
manufacture in accordance with existing plans.
The day was not without its legitimate new
high record, Norfolk Western being the stock
making it. Norfolk's record is made on big
legitimate earnings and its price is fair even
after the advance.
Lehigh Valley was strong, as also was Reet
Sugar, but the latter two were up largely for
professional reast us. Reading reacted more
than two points from its downward movement.
Steel moved up a point from its low figure of
the day.
Wall Street talked politics a good deal and
looked forward to the nomination of Hughes by
the Republicans; The Street will be disappoint-
ed if the Justice is not nominated, for it has
made up its mind that regardless of the quali-
ties of the others, Hughes is the most likely
to secure the united support that will mean
election. It prefers Burton, but feels that he
is not well enough known to the general pub-
lic. It is beginning to feel pust a little bit
afraid of Roosevelt as the day of the eouven
lion approaches.
Copper prices in London have made material
advances the last few days aud copper men here
believe that as soon as the great, war orders
so freely spoken of are* placed, the demand
from munitions manufacturers in the United
States will force prices to levels higher than
ever.
Many houses predict a substantial rise in
prices of copper shares. It was stated several
days ago that this advance was to begin this
week.

Water Front Fire at Vancouver.
By Associated Pres..
VANCOUVER, B. C., May 29.—Firemen
early today had brought under control a
water front blaze of unknown origin in the
plants of the New England Fish Company
and the Alberta Pacific Grain elevator.
The loss was estimated at $000,000. No
lives were lost. For a time the entire
water front was threatened, as the fire
department was short-handed, many of
its members having volunteered for service
tn the British army.

Business In the wholesale district was fair
Monday but Jobbers reported some complaints
from the country of dry weather aud naturally
the wholesaler knows that adverse crop condi-
tions must necessarily affect business. The
price of beans took iu another advance during
the day and navies were moved up to $8 per
cwt. liayous advanced 23 cents to $0.75 and
pinks are 50 cents higher at $0.50. Means aro
a world wide food and Europe is calling for
them. Texas will do well to increase her
acreage as she Is now paying tribute to Cali-
fornia Industry and foresight. No Texas let
ttie# is coming to market now but the Cali-
fornia product Shows no disposition to advance
above $3 per crate as jet. Texas potatoes
are arriving more freely ami the price was
marked down a quarter to $2.25 per cwt
Texas tomatoes are also cheaper at $1.00(321,25
for four-basket crates. The Winesap apple is
practically the only one being offered now,
and the offerings are confined to the extra
fancy grades at $2.25 aud the fancy at $2.
Grape fruit Is higher for the larg»- »lxe*, both
•being quoted at $4.50 per box. Lemons have
some of the Pacific Coast enthusiasm as well
and have advanced 50 cents a box to $4. Evap-
orated fruits are steady and unchanged except
on fancy apricots iu 23 pound boxes, which
are marked up 3 cents to 10 cents with the
choice grades taking the same advance at 15
cents.
It is very doubtful If the State Department
will Ik* able to prevail upon <»rfat Rritan to
permit the exportation of $5,000,000 worth of
dyestuffs from Germany to this country. Lord
Robert Cecil, British Minister of War Trade
in his talk to the House of Commons a few
days ago said that proposal had been received
hut rather Intimated that the United States
had waited too long. He said tuat in 1915
the Rritish government was willing to allow
the exportation which was discussed ut that
time, but that the offer had lapsed. Our scien-
tists at 'home may therefore stick to their
knitting.
