The dock strike is also hav ing an adverse effect on the local dairy butter market in preventing shipments through -the usual channels. At the produce exchange errg values were less steady than on Tuesday, as only 23 cents was hid and 234 cents asked. The easier tone of tho market is regarded as only temporary.

The feature of to day's stock market was a further break in United States Industrial Alcohol to below par. A week ago Alcohol sold at 131 and three months ago it attained Its maximum of 170. industrial Alcohol is controlled by Stand ard Oil interests, which bought a majority of the stopk last year from the Distillers' Securities Company, at a price considerably under $40 per share. The company Is ssid to have made enormoua profits in the sale of Its products to manufacturers of explo sives, especially the Du Pont Powder Com pany. The Du Pont Company, according to rumors in Wall street, bought heavlLy of Industrial Alcohol in the open market In the expectation of a large cash dividend dis bursement. The controlling interests, it is now re ported, are not disposed to declare any divi dend at this time. The heavy slump In the stock is believed to be the result of this decision. Naval Stores.

WAR SHARES GIVE WAY Alcohol Suffers Net Loss of Over 10 Points; Dividend Action by Ovcr luixl Directors Not Announced Until End of Session. NEW YORK, July 12. Concerted dealing of special stocks, particularly those Issues which suffered most severely In last woek's liquidation move,' was the conspicuous fea ture of today's professional market. The short interest, emboldened by its recent suc cess, eonducled Its Operations- with greater confidence, but made little headway except in Isolated instances. Representative share, notably the better known rails and United States Steel, again withstood pressure, albeit. Steel waa forced down to 83, Its lowest since last' week's rise to 87 c. Shipping stocks and Mexicans, together with motors and the coppers, also fell away In the forenoon, but made gradual recovery in part or in wholo later. Industrial Alcohol proved to be the storm center, recording; an extreme loss of 124 points to U0'4 in the last hour and closing with a net loss of 10 points. There waa again a lack of news 4o explain the con tinuous break in Alcohol, which reported a loss of over 30 points In a week's time and a total of 70 points from Its high price of last April. Increase in the Willys-Overland dividend from 6 to 12 per cent, with an "extra" stock dividend of 10 per cent, was not announced until the fag end of the session. The stock closed at a loss of 2i points, the action of the directors having evidently been dis counted. - 4 Pacifies were the only raila to exhibit strength, Canadian Pacific being in demand with Us subsidiaries. "Soo" and Wisconsin Central. Union Pacific waa firm on re vival of the familiar rumor of an increased dividend at the next quarterly meeting. Total sales amounted to 56S.000 shares, of which a very large proportion was sup plied by Alcohol. Mercantile Marlfie pre ferred. United States Steel, Reading and American Beet Sugar. The prosperous condition of the Inde pendent steel manufacturers was rfeen In the second quarterly statement of the Lack awanna Steel Company, showing a net gain of almost $2,900,000 over the lame quarter of 1015. Bonds were again Inclined to eVsc. with further extensive offerings of Anglo-French 5s. Total sales, par value. aggregated' 33.320, 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

In provisions the final figures were 5 to 25 cents higher. Corn, which was inclined to drag at the outset, was braced by the strength of whest and the advance was checked by an abun dance of offerings and prices made llttio headway.

WAR BUYING LIFTS BEANS SHORTAGE IS NUT OpHsTUfBD TO P.Vt'lKIC COAST. Kxcitemrnt in Kasteni Markets Micb Isaa Dealers. Oversold. Rush to .e-sr York. Excitement in the bean trade is not con fined to the Pacific Coast, but prices are climbing In all producing sections of tbo country. Unusual buying for Europe, with a short crop last year and prospects for a greatly reduced acreage this year, are responsible for the flurry. The trade hss ben advised that Michigan interests had sold heavily to Canadian buy ers and had found themselves unsb to fill their coniructs. The raid on the New York market followed. Prospective purchasing by the United States Government has hsd no effect on the situatloa. and it is doubt ful if the Government could get 100 cars lu New York even at a price of 15c a pound, said one dealer. This statement is made by an' Eastern bean authority; "Great quantities of beans have been shipped recently to Greece, Belgium. Nor way and Sweden. No one knows yet the amounts that harve been sent out, but we do know that there Is a great shortage in beans The supply In sight is not enough to carry the trade through until the next crop Is available in September and October. The heaviest advances in price have been made In New York and Michigan beans, which are probably the most Im portant factor In the market. So far as I know there have been no inquiries by Government officiate, though 1 understand certain canncrs have been buying recently. "The crop of beans last year was un usually short, uot more than a half yield. One resut of this has been a high price tor ail kinds of beans, running on an averago of 6 or 7 cents a pound for the last six months. The supplies In New York now are the lightest In 15 years. "This shortsge Is made worse by the fact that the outlook for a substantial yield this Fall Is ppor. Normally, the New York bean crop has ben planted by June 10, but the heavy rains upstate have prevented sowing up to the present. "The buyiirg here-for Huropran consump tion has been heavy. The Belgium relief committee has bought probably 400 or 000 ears. Estimates from reliable sources are that Canada has bought :00 or 40O cars In the last three or four months. The present ex.-ltecrient rame ai-out when wo learned thst Michigan deslers had oversold and were buying In New York to fill their con tracts. "So far as I can see there Is no element of speculation In the situation. Vprlees have been too high to enrourage specula tive buying, as a number of dealers were afraid of a fall. Even with the prospect of advances in the future, r do not be lieve there is speculation. In fact, the New York, market is almost stripped of supplies, and high bids are offered with 110 takers."' Other dealers said that the entire mar ket Just now is working 011 theories as to the shortage, and that the most relia ble report is that Michigan Interests are buying to fill Canadian contracts.
