REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Lincoln. Neb., July oS-The breaking Of
the drought In Nebraska last night was
thorough and effective, the rainfall being
much more heavy and general than early
reports indicated.
In Lincoln. which up to 10 o'clock seemed
destined to be left high and dry, rain began
falling before midnight. and continued
lightly but almost uninterruptedly until 4
o'clock this morning The precipitation in
this city and county was IS of an inch.
Counties east and south Of Lincoln got
most Of their moisture this morning, but in
larger quantities than here.
At Beatrice the fall is placed at 2.15
inches, pools Of water filling every low ly-
ing spot. 1t was a Godsend to that district.
where the ground has been baked for a
month. Still farther east there was a
lighter but generous fall clear to the Mis-
souri, River.
1t was in the east central district of the
State, however. that the deluge came. In
York. Seward and Hamilton counties there
some places being inches. There was an
inch and hair In Saline County. nearly
as much in Butler. an inch each in Saun-

ties bordering on the Platte as far west as

WASHINGTON WEATHER REPoR1

Washington. July 1.-To-day's Weather
Bureau advices from the great corn belt
were the most encouraging that have come
to hand for tho past forty days, showing in
the opinion Of the forecasters, that the
great drought has been broken by a general
visitation Of showers in many portions of
that section, and with a prospect Of their
continuation tomorrow.
Coinoident with the fall Of rain have come
reduced temperatures. With few excep-
lions. the Temperatures reported were not
ahnormally high. no maximums Of 100 de-
Erees being reported. West OF the Missis-
borhood of 30 degrees.
The forecasters. while not making any
specific predictions as to the effect OF the
rain on the crops. express the opinion that
all those crops which have not been irrep-
arably ruined will be benefited by the
breaking OF tho drought. The late crops
naturally will be helped the most.
The reports show that during the past
twenty-four hours showers were quite gen.
eral in the corn belt, and were heavy over
much of the State OF Iowa and over part of
the corn belt not visited by early rains and
included Western Nebraska, Southern Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma.
Monday there will be showers throughout
tho corn belt region, except IN it's extreme
western portion and Southern Indiana and
orally on Tuesday in the Ohio and Middle
Mississippi Valley.
There also have been showers and thun.
derstorms IN the northern tier OF States
from New England to the Dakotas. in
Northern New Mexico. Northern Arizona
and Southern Utah and on the West Gull
Coast.

FICTITIOUS QUOTATIONS cRuMBLEp UNDER PUBLIC UNLOADING

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. July 8.-Anxiety over the
Western crop situation proved the controll-
ing and almost sole influencing factor in the
stock market Of the week. At times tho
price movement was widely cratic and
marked by violent changes. On alternate
days the market broke and rallied with
almost pendulum-like regularity. the oscil-
lations gradually reducing in extent as ac-
dvity was curtailed. and the disagreeable
TACT was forced home upon the professional
element that really serious condition of
AFFAIRS had possibly presented itself. The
traders now recognize what has been patent
to the conservative banking element for
some time past, that uncertain conditions
do not invite market activity. A crop scare
IL one thing. while actual injury TO the
crops. threatening loss Of hundreds of mil
Mons OF bushels of corn and wheat, and
hundreds OF millions OF dollars. is another.

It was there to a degree. and it encouraged

news was not all false, and that a serious.

itself In the corn belt, the bankers buying
disappeared entirely even with prices re-
duced to level as low as when purchases
were before made. On the part Of strong
men there was no inclination either t.
