CAIRO, LII, lltt RsDAl EVENING.
July 90, 1915.
After a few days of clear weather,
heavy rain set in last night that lasted
nearly all of to-day. and this evening the
clouds are dark and lowering, with every
indication of more rain tonight. The
rainfall has been heavy and general. The
Ohio are overlooking their banks, and
fields OF grain are floating away. The
outlook tor farmers is very bad. and as u
consequence must bc bad for all classes.
The new crop is moving but little as yet.
\ few cars Of new wheat have been rcceiv-
ed. but in a.damp and damaged condition.
Oats have not started yet, and there is
very little OF the old crop coming into
the market. Corn Is very scarce. but the
demand has fallen OF anu Oni, CONSISTS
OF - small order trade. as there is no
margin for speculations. Flour is firm
and scarce, but with light demand that
creates no excitement. Poultry, eggs,
and butter are firm and steady az quota
tons.
