OTHERS WERE IRREGULAR Shipping Stocks Again Variable While Fertilizers i Made Scattering Cains NEW YORK, June 14. The highly speculative character of. today's trading may be judged from the fact that two v.idely divergent issues as inspiration Copper and American Beet Sugar constituted the chief features, both at new records. Inspiration, on the enormous turnover of 113,000 shares, made an extreme gain of 2 7 8 to 56 7 8 and beet sugar in which dealings amounted to 42,000 shares, rose 4 3 4 to 94 1 Other coppers followed in the wake of Inspiration, some making equally large gains. In the other divisions of the list the movement was frequently irregular, although rails made up for their early sluggishness in the final hour, when Norfolk and Western advanced 2 1 4, with marked strength in Canadian "Pacific and its subsidiary "Soo." The Junior Vanderbilts also improved upon recent gains and New Haven was bid up against a stubborn short interest.

Knmo rnscttlcmiit Some unsettlement was manifested at the outset, when Willys Overland registered an abrupt decline of 2S points to 277 as a result of the overniKht announcement of the abandonment of the merger in hich it was to figure so conspicu ously.

Munitions were temporarily affecte.d the setback in the motors but these elso closed with a firm tone. Shipping stocks' were again ex tremely variable, Mercantile Marine preferred denoting further liquida tion, while United Fruit held at a fair gain.

Strawberry Crop at its Height The strawberry crop is just now at Its height in Berks county and the berries are probably the finest that crates are finding their way to the city markets and they are being shipped to Philadelphia and other points. They have been selling by the crate as low as seven cents in jome instances and berries have been offered retail as low as 8 cents, although 10 and 15 cents is the standard price list now. The big cherry crop is just coming into season and there will be plenty of cherries from now on to the second or third week in July. It is the early ones that are finding their way into the markets.

The first picking sold at 15 cents, but they have now come down to 8 and 10 cents and will be lower in prices. Prospects are said to be good for a good raspberry and blackberry crop and in the mountain sections the huckleberry bushes give much promise. 'Haymaking Preparedness While the county women are busy with the. canning, season, the farmers, are. beginning their preparation for making season which will be on within about a week or ten days, and there is also plenty of work In the cultivating of the corn and looking after the potatoes and other crops which need so much attention at this season of the year.

The potato bugs are not such a menace as it was thought a few weeks ago that they would be. Many farmers are rejoicing that the season has advanced thus far without much damage being done the crops by pests. There has been no appearance of the Hessian fly in the wheat fields, and it is believed now that the crop will be a little above the average. Corn fields throughout the county look good, and if there is a sufficient amount of rain there is no reason why there should not be a large crop.
