down and tho outlook Eeems to favor the
probability that Kuropo will buy nearly
as much wheat In America as It did In thn
last ficcal year whon it might be added

In Industrial lines tho outlook Is a
promising one Tho settlement of the

tbo road earned nearly S per cent on Its
stock alen bad a good effect which was
not diminished by confident rumors ot
coming dividend payments by other earn1
panics notably Ilia Cboibptake and Ohio
Thu subsidence of reports of labor dis-
turbances also had an Influenci and on
Thursday Brooklyn Rapid Transit declined
on renewed rumors of troubles of that
character A slight effect waa also pro-
duced on prices by tbo news that one of
the largest ot American life Insurance cor-
porations bad decided to dispose of Its
holding of stocks presumably to comply
with the German laws and pave the way
