CAIRO, ILL.,. THURSDAY EVENING

| july i, 1919.
The weather to-day has been cloudy
and threatening rain, but the day closed
leaving the country dry, ana still hope
full for season that will permit the harvest
to be gathered. Reports Of the wheat and
corn crops are very favorable. but fears
are entertained that the oat crop may
prove partial failure; owing to the straw
having grown so rank, and the storms
having lodged" it, the grain may rot as
1t lays, without ripening. Particularly
this would be the case should the wet
weather continue.
The rivers are very high for this season
OF the year, but not so high a might be
expected from the quantity of rain that
has fallen.
The market in its different branches
still rules quiet and duh; very little change
has occurred in prices. Transactions arr
limited. The small volume Of sales may b
partly accounted for by the closing of tn
month. and the fact that dealers are hold
ing back their orders to 90 on n ne,
: slider little better. and we predict a re
yival in business soon. There is certain
~ plenty Of room for improvement.
