CHICAGO, July H.-Improved weather
fol the crops caused the downfall of the
grain markets today. Wheat dropped a
cent, and the market closed weak at
S05sc for the September option. Corn lost
NC and oats Ac. Provisions recovered
from a spell of weakness and closed
without material change.
Cooler weather in the Northwest and
lower cables started wheat on a down
ward course at the opening, and with
the exception Of a Ac rally from the
bottom near the close, on buying against
puts, the market ruled exceedingly weak
throughout. A poor cash demand
and increased domestic receipts
also contributed to the decline. Septem-
Der opened 9sQ4c lower, at 70B@71c,
sold spaTingly at Tic, declined to 7G2s@12c,
and closed with buyers at 705sc.
Chicago received 65 cars, two of which
graded contract. Minneapolis and Du-
luth got 382, compared with "a the same
day last year. Primary market receipts
aggregated $4,000 bu against $4,000 bu
year ago. Export clearances from At
1sntic ports were equal in wheat and
-four 10000
Heavy rains throughout the West,
where claims Of damage by drought have
been numerous, weakened corn. There
was selling rush at the outset, and
only occasionally when some short would
endeaVor to cover did the market show
any degree of steadiness. Export de-
mand was good, but any effect this might
have had was counteracted by enormous
primary Western market receipts. Re-
ceipts here were 610 cars. September
opened 5000 lower, at 319s@32c, sold
sparingly at 32c, declined to S114c and
closed at 315sc. The December option
closed with a loss of nc.
Liquidation induced by favorable har-
vesting weather, liberal receipts and the
decline in wheat and corn weakened
oats. RECEIPTS, S65 cars, of which 17A
were new. September opened Ac lower
at 19A@9sc, advanced to 192s@1ac, declin-
ed to 1910 and closed at 19A@%c.
Higher prices for hogs and buying by
packers sustained provisions. There was
a dip early in sympathy with the weak
ness in grains, but this was all recov-
cred near the end of the session. Sep
TENDER pork closed at $S.75; September
lard, $5.35; September ribs ranged mar
rOwly.

NEW YORK, July H.-The stock mar
ket continued narrow and professional
today until the last hour, when there
developed more animation and strength
than had been noted for many days past.
The late movement seemed to start with
strength simultaneously displayed by

ferred. These stocks gained from "a for
Lake Erie & Western preferred to 4
points for p, c., G. & st. L., and the
rise IN New York Central to 140 helped

Were bearish in the early part of the day,
but finding that prices resisted pressure,
they turned to the long side, encouraged
by the strength OF special stocks. The

operators feel the possibility of a de-
mand for money that may stiffen call
rates and desire time loans on the securi-
ties they are trying to hold for a long
pull. The fact that the Bank of Eng,
land did not increase its discount rate
today served to lessen anxiety on the
money question, and the weekly exhibit
Of that institution showed that the open
market had been able to reduce its loan
obligations to the bank very heavily.
The sharp fall in French rentes and re-
ports of a political crisis in that country
were without much effect in New York.
The money market here was somewhat
relieved by the transfer of funds from
the subtreasury to the banks on the
payment for the new custom site in
New York, and 1t became known that the
government had ceased for the time be-
ing it's weekly withdrawal of deposits
from the New York banks, which have
been at the rate of $1,000 600 a week for
some time past.

ALCOHOL IN ROOT BEER.
Serious Misgivings for the Good People
of Evanston, III.

From the Chicago Journal.
The announcement recently made at
Evanston by Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union lecturer that root beer
contains alcohol may well give Evan
stonians pause. What dangers the
classic suburb has been subjected to
through the Ignorance upon this vital
topic can be but dimly imagined, but in
character they are of a sort to haunt
the mind of the Evanston resident and
meake him afraid to blow out the can
die at night.
For Evanston has, for a long time,
been addicted to the flowing bowl. Herb
tea, sarsaparilla and root beer are
among the standing temptations, with
barley water recently introduced as a
particularly seductive and devilish i'll
Vention. But no Evanstonian ever sus-
pected that the brown infusion Of
macerated roots, inflated with a little
yeast, ever contained in its depths the
possibilities of a wild time and the ma
terial for a first-class downfall. Yet
so it is, And precautions are demand
ed Immediately against an extension Of
the root beer habit.
1t would be a sad spectacle if some
of the wild young blades of Evanston
were suddenly to take advantage of
this new discovery and plung into ca
reers of dissipation before the local au-
thorities could take steps to confiscate
the liquor. Imagine the formerly staid
young benedict of the place reeling
home in the small and early hours after
an evening at the soda water fountain,
crazed with root beer, his gait I'M
steady, his eyes rolling in his head, his
brain inflamed with the mad lust 10
kill. Think of the peace of happy
home destroyed, the furniture in ruins,
the neighborhood devastated and all
Evanston disturbed and scandalized.
And think of the habit spreading, gain
ing new victims every day, until the
town degenerated into community Of
inebriates and fathers refused to send
, their sons to Dr. Rogers anti-annex-
alton school.
That is enough to appall the stoutest
heart. The root beer habit in Evanston
must be nipped in the bottle. Before It's
homes are devastated and its young
ynen ruined. Evanston must suppress
rs,l beer 1t must bruise the viper 1t
must destroy this deadly menace and
put a ban upon this devastating drink.
Until Evanston does this, and all this,
it will not be entitled to hold up its
head and look the surrounding commu-
mites in the face. Everybody will know
it's secret and how it jeopardizes all
that is pure and holy in its life In order
TO indulge its low craving for root beer
