The report lacked official confirmation,
however, and received little credence In tha

One of tbs few optimistic utterances
which JAava coma to the attention of Wall
street recently was attributed today to a
high operating official of tbs Harrlman
llnea that tha outlook for groee earnings of
the roads for tSa remainder of the calendar
year waa very promising'.

coming yield waa estimated at 61C.000.000,
agarnst 475.000.000 for the season previous.
Quite a lot of new crop wheat was sold
here today by elevator concerns, and had a
depressing effect on the market. Cash busi
ness dwindled almost to nothing. Early in
tha day prices were bearlshly affected by
cable aews. Shorts, however, grew nervous
