New York. July 23-The bull speculation
in corn and wheat. and oats as we'll, went
to smash in about three minutes to-day
after the opening of the grain markets.
Very nearly all Of the advance that was
made in these cereals yesterday was lost
before the echoes Of the gong had died
away in the big trading-room of the Prod
uce Exchange. The market was thorough
ly demoralized.
In Chicago holders of corn dumped 1t on
the market In such J. wild way that in the
first dozen recorded quotations the Septem-
her option had sold down &C bu. from yes
terday's closing price. Here the decline in
the same period was fraction over &c a

held at 3SAc, went to 35Ac in q twinkling
at the start-off of business.
Influenced by Wilson Interview.
The interview with Secretary Wilson Of
the Department of Agriculture. In which he
predicted that great deal Of the damage
reported was imaginary and that the final
yield would show a moderate-sized crop,
made the curb prices lower.
Just before the opening there were re-
ports Of heavy rains In Kansas, although
the weather map which showed the condi-
tlon at Q CLOCK TINS morning, indicated but
.o2 inch in localities in that State
There was a steady flow of assertion of
| rain and denial of it around the pits while
the traders were waiting for the signal to
begin. The bull could picture hot-weather
scenes IN the corn belt. while the bear had
as vivid mental visions of rainy-weather
conditions In the drought-stricken regions.
Grain on the TObOEGan.
Corn opened in Chicago at 5sc. against

with string of quotations following down

Gives Advice to Farmers.
something could be done to induce The
farmers In the corn belt to extend their
period of cultivation about two weeks this
year beyond the usual limit would look for
a big crop. But the usual season for cultl-
walton is rapidly drawing to a close. and
fear that with comparatively few exceptions
the farmers will lay by their corn at the
regular time. regardless Of the drought
The corn belt soil. with the exception
noted. is deep and holds moisture we'll To
utilize this conserved moisture to the best
advantage in the absence Of rain. the soil
should be continually stirred SO as to make
what We call mulch until the crop Is
matured- Therefore I repeat that II the
farmers in the corn belt at this time could
be shown the advisabil!ty Of extending their
cultivation season about two weeks, We
could look for good yield this year.
Acts for His Own Interests.
The farmer, like every other business
man, always does what he believes to b
best for his own interest, but In a case Ike
this it Is extr, meiy difficult to disseminate
broadly in farming communities the infor-
nation that is of pressing and immediate
value. By this mean IL we only could
spread all through the corn belt the news
that II the season of cultivation were ex.

limit there would need be no fear OF the
