HEAVY GRAIN MARKET
LARGE INCREASE IN THE VISIBLE
SUPPLY DEPRESSED WHEAT.
Oats Were Under Pressure and the
Catching Of Stop Loss Orders i'm
Provisions Caused a Decline.

CHICAGO July PA large increase In
the visible supply caused loss of an early
advance of sc in wheat to-day. September
closing unchanged at 70i2Q7ossc. Corn closed
a shade higher and oats 1sqAc lower. Pro-
visions collapsed under the execution Of stop
loss orders. Pork lost 15d17i1c, lard loo and
ribs sc.
Unfavorable weather in France and Ger
many, in connection with complaints of rust
from the Dakotas and larger worlds ship
ments than expected started wheat strong.
The loss Of nearly a million bushels of
wheat in an elevator fire at Toledo added
to the bullish sentiments. September opened
HGac higher, at 707sc. sold sparingly 1-l6c
lower and advanced to 70lsq70hc. Specula-
ton was slack. however, and when an in
crease of 1,467, 900 bushels in the vivible sup
ply was reported the price slipped back to
7Ci.c. A slow cash demand, improved
weather in the Northwest and reports that
harvesting had begun in Minnesota also had
a depressing influence. There was tenn
porary rally near the end OF the session,
but for all the advance there was more for
sale than the market could absorb and Sep
TENDER closed with sellers at 70l2q1Ossc. Pri-
mary Western market receipts were $4,000
bushels, compared with $4,000 bushels last
year. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
-four equaled 49So0o bushels. Chicago re-
ceived 126 cars, and Minneapolis and Du-
luth 565 The worlds shipments of wheat
and -four for the week amounted to 10000
bushels and the quantity on ocean passage
decreased 10S0, 900 bushels.
An increase of 50, 600 bushels in the visible
supply wiped out feeble rally In corn.
Cash business was curtaled by the small
ness of country offerings Receipts, 624
cars. September opened unchanged. at

Light. mt Railroad Crossings.

Several months ago the Richmond Coun-
ell passed an ordinance providing for cleo
trio arc lights at the local crossings. The
Pennsylvania Company paid no attention 10
the ordinance and later a number of ar
rests were made and several fines assessed.
The attorney for the company appealed the
case and filed an answer to the proceedings.
setting out several alleged reasons why the
city should not require the lights at cross
ings. One reason given is that such lights
would be binding TO the employees of the
road when approaching them and might
lead to accidents rather than prevent them.
Another reason is that the city cannot ex-
pect the railroad company TO light her
streets. which. II is claimed. the placing of
lights at crossings would amount TO. The
court heard argument on the answer filed
by the company's attorney and then took
the case under advisement. 1t is expected
the case will go TO the Supreme Court what
ever may be the ruling OF the lower court.
