THIRTY-oNE DAYS OF TORTURE.
An Unprecedented Record of High
Temperature at Kansas City.

kansas City, No. July 20.-For thirty-one
successive days the temperature in Kansas
City has risen above 30 degrees each after
noon. On most of these days the tempera-
ture has reached or exceeded 100 degrees,
and during the last twelve days the 100
mark has been reached regularly. At noon
to-day the temperature was 100 degrees for
the first time this summer at so early an
hour The high point, lO2 degrees, was at
tanned at p. m. Since April there has
been but one heavy shower. on June 90.
Most of the thermometers registered ITO
degrees in the shade early. and exposed to
the sun would record 12o. There have been
few neat prostrations and not many deaths
directly ascribed to the heat. but the NOR
tality among the feeble old persons and
young children has been unusually large.
The same conditions of heat and rainfall
have prevailed all over the drought strick-
en- regions of the Southwest-Kansas, West
ern Missouri. Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma.
Practically no rain has fallen in this area
in the last twenty-four hours, the few local
showers being trivial For the next twenty
four hours continued hot weather Is ex-
pected.
Prayers for rain will be offered in near,
all the churches in Missouri and Kansas to-
morrow, in the former State in obedience

EETCBI.Ic SPECIAL.
New York, July 20.-The report of the as
sociated banks to-day agrees rather with
the forecasts made yesterday. 1t was be-
1;eved, on the basis of the interior ana
subtreasury movements, that an increase
of over seven millions would be shown in
the cash holdings. The actual figures We're
slightly over six millions. The increase Of
$4,000 IN the surplus reserve is perhaps
larger than expected: it. however. reflects
the corresponding decrease in deposits cf
ever ss44s.Sp0 and the decrease in loans Of
81, ,26S. 900. The latter item. while showing
a probably greater decrease than had been
expected, reflects the hquidations in stocks
of the early part of the week. The general
statement, however. indicates that move
1nent is taking place this year somewhat
similar to that of last year. AT that time
the cash holdings increased by about Si.-
100000 each week. and the surplus rose
nearly se0o.oO0 The movement. therefore,
is perfectly normal and indicates the pres
ence of similar influences at this time.
The action of the market showed that
II had pretty well discounted the increase
in reserves. and was under the influence

HIRE NEGROES TO BOSS MULES.
British Transport Captain Says
They Know How to Do 1t.

New Orleans, Ia. July 19.-The first Of
British transports in port awaiting carsoes
of horses for the British Army in South
Africa are taxing Captain Charles Hagen
who has charge OF the engaging Of the
muleteers. to the utmost.
The Government has over g. 500 horses to
ship at once. and for some reason they arc
terribly anxious to get these horses away
on short notice. Orders have been given to
have the ships sail as rapidly as possible,
and every effort is being made here to carry
out these Instructions. A supply of 1000
horses is kept on hand at the lower end
Of the parish line. and there are In cars
about 5000 more horses. and In the southern
part of Illinois there Is an additional ], 800
awaiting transportation
Captain Hagen has superintended the en-
gaging Of muleteers ever since the mule
shipments began. To-day he has advertised
for 800 negro muieteers. and the English
Government will give this class Of labor q
chance. A few negroes have been shipped
before. but this time 1t IL proposed to make
I'D the crews on some ships entirely with
negroes. The white men who ship. as q
rule are said to be hard to manage, and
turn out at the end of the return voyage
as the very worst Of kickers. In addition.
CAPTAIN Hagen. claims that the negroes do
the work better. for they understand 1t. and
do not complain about little things so loudly.

Market Closed Eery Weak.
Further depressing reports were received
from the West concerning the heat in the
corn belt. The bank statement failed to
counteract these influences. and the market
showed extreme weakness. Further liQuida-
ton in the last half hour carried prices
still lower. and left the market very weak
The close was irregular at about the lowest
of the day.
Corn markets all over the country were
very much excited over the news that came

stock houses had kilograms indicating that
there had been little rain, and that the
prospects over Sunday were for continued

Corn opened here at an advance of 1asc
