Corn Sold Down From 20 Cents to
-, Where II Steadied.
Chicago, July 2S-Opening scenes In
the grain pits were wild to-day. Espe
cially among corn and oats was the
excitement notable with the traders
selling movement in the corn market
was launched by nervous longs at the
tap of the gong with which the session
was started. They seemed to have a
desire. almost amounting to a panic,
to secure their profits, owing to scat
tered rains West, and in consequence,
there was a wild range OF
prices. September sold simulta-
neOusly from SO cents to 81 cents,
the latter figure being cents
under the closing price of yesterday.
At the decline prices steadied largely
on buying for the country account.
AS to the crop situation there was
nothing to change pessimistic views as
to corn and oats, as it was alleged
that the showers were far from sufii-
cient, but wheat bulls were rendered
uneasy by reports of more favorable
weather from spring wheat in Minneso-
ia and the Dakotas.
Reports during the day in many in
stances claimed that damage claims
for Kansas, Iowa and Missouri had
been greatly exaggerated in regard to
the corn situation. These reports were
influential more so that usual owing
to the nervousness of the market. The
close showed the bull position weak

POOR OUTLOOK FOR CORN.
Intense Heat Has Greatly Damaged
Crop I'm the West.

NFOP m thc WtSt.
Washington, July 2S.-Following is
the Weather Bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions:
Intense heat has prevailed another
week throughout the states of the
central valleys and Middle Rocky
Mountain region, with only local show
ers over limited scattered areas. Por-
tions of the Middle and South Allan
tic states continue to suffer from eX-
cessive moisture. but very favorable
temperatures have been experienced
in these districts.
The outlook for corn is less favor
able than at the close of the previous
week. In Nebraska. Kansas Oklaho-
ma and Missouri early corn is practic-
ally ruined. With Early and abundant
rains in these states late corn would
probably make half a crop or less.
The condition of the crop in Iowa is
more favorable than in the before
mentioned states, and copious rains,
with moderate temperatures within a
week would greatly improve pros
poets for a large part of the crop. In
Illinois, Inliana, Ohio, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, more particularly the wes-
tern portions of the two last named
states, corn is now seriously in need
of rain.
Moisture has caused considerable in
jury to winter wheat in shock in the
Middle Atlantic states. Harvesting
continues where unfinished in the
more northerly sections east of the
Rocky mountains and is in general
progress on the North Pacific coast.
Harvesting Spring wheat.
Spring wheat harvest has begun
over the southern portion of the spring
wheat region, where, as result of pre-
mature ripening, the yield and quantity
is much impaired. over the northern
portion, where the crop is now ripen-
ing, its condition continues promising
In portions of Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida the condition of
cotton has improved, but in the two
last named states and in the Carolinas
it has suffered from lack of cultiVa
ton. Rain is greatly needed in Ten
nesSee and over the western portion of
the cotton belt, where, however. the
crop is generally withstanding the
drought well. F'ruiting at the top con-
tinues to be reported from the central
and western districts and throughout
the belt the plant is small.
I'm the Ohio valley, Tennessee and
Wisconsin, tobacco is suffering much
from drought, especially in Western
Kentucky, and has been injured by
rains in Maryland, elsewhere the crop
has made favorable progress"

CROPS MUCH IMPROVED.
Cotton Greatly Benefited by Show
ers, but Small and Late.

Cotton Greatly Benefited by Show
ers, but Small and Late.
Atlanta, July 23.-The following is
the crop report issued by the Weather
Bureau for the week ending, Monday,
July %:
Copious showers fell in practically all
sections of the state during the week
and materially benefited growing crops.
That portion of the cotton crop, which
has been given careful cultivation,
shows a decided improvement, and is
now growing vigorously, fruiting and
boiling well. The crop as a whole
however, is small and late; many fields
are almost a total loss, chopping is
not completed in some of the northern
counties. Early corn was considera-
bly, damaged by drought, and In many
sections cannot recover.
Rice, sugar cane, peas and potatoes
are in very promising condition. The
output of peaches is below the average;
much loss having been occasioned by
rotting of the fruit: the quality of the
crop now being shipped is excellent.
Bulloch county reports copious show
ers; corn and cotton doing nicely. In
Emanuel cotton has greatly improved
and corn has been helped by showers.
Brooks has had good rains, cotton
and corn are improved, and cane is
good.
Bryan reports many cotton fields a
total loss. though recent rains have
helped others materially.
Camden reports good crops all
around.
Lowndes reports Improvement in all
crops.
Crops in Mcintosh are grassy, but
otherwise good.
Ware county also reports much i'm
provement as the result of rain. Cotton
looks healthy and potatoes fine.

New York. July 23.-Bears had their
turn in the grain market to-day. They
hammered down the price of wheat ,
cents and corn anywhere from to 5
cents per bushel The official map
showed very little rain anywhere in the
Western grain belt and predictions
were for a continued hot and dry pe-
riod. But the speculative contingent
cared little for that. Every man in the
grain crowd and a good part of the
speculative public was loaded with
grain, having bought on yesterdays
big advance and dry weather talk. Pit
brokers did their best to find buyers,
but could only sell at big concessions.
One operator offered corn all the way
down from 621s to 500 before he could
make trade, 1t was a speculative
craze TO sell and lasted until the or
ders gave out when a breathing spell
and a scant rally occurred. 1t was
brief however, for more rain news in
the afternoon brought on another bear
attack and deluge OF selling orders
which put September corn here to 5Sc.
Wheat broke from 77A to 751ac with
corn and under reports of showers in
the Northwest.

fees of the president. General Agent
Woods White Of the Northwestern.
Owing to the absence of Mr.. White,

tic in the history of the organization.

agents. While the details of the
scheme have not been arranged, it is
known that hereafter whenever an
agent through any irregular conduct,
the general agent in question will no
tify the secretary of the action and
will furnish him with the name of the
agent and a full account of his irreg-
ularity. This will be sent by the sec
rotary to each member of the associa-
ton:
officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, General
Agent Robert F. Shedden of the Mutual
Life; vice president, Manager w. r.

Atlanta. July 23.-The tax digests Of
five counties of the state received to-
day at the office of Controller General
Wright, show an aggregate increase
over last year of more than a million
dollars. No one of the larger counties
of Georgia or those with the greater
population are among the FIVE, and
should the gain in the smaller coun-
ties come up to the average already
set for the year. the aggregate in
crease in the property of the whole
will be larger than ever before in a
single year.
The county of Lowndes shows the
remarkable increase of 1921, lib, and IL
Is interesting TO note that fully one
half of this gain is due to the estab-
lishment of cotton manufactures. Al
Increase of $4,000 was realized In
lands, $4,000 In bonds and notes, Sss,-
900 In city property. $24, 900 in building
and loan property, and $4,000 In bank

and Dougherty $4,000. Dade county

GOMEZ DECLARES FOR PALMA.
Says This Was Chief object of His
Visit to United States.


Havana, July 23.-Gen. Maxine Co
mez, in the course of an open letter,
setting forth the objects of his recent
trip to the United States, asserts that
he went to New York with a view of
impressing upon T. Estrada Palma the
necessity of coming to Cuba to be the
first president of the republic.
"Senor Palma has shown capacity
for governing, as witness his course in
the war of SO. and also as chief of the
delegation during the last war" says
Gen. Gomez. His official purity while
occupying those positions places Cuba
under obligations to him. Not one
of us has such a standing as he has
with the American people, and their
prominent men.
Taking into consideration the for
tuitous relations which the Cuban re-
public will bear to the United States,
Senior Palma is the most available. and
is the only candidate. AS real Cubans
we ought to make him accept. l shall
turn all my energy toward this end,
and when it has been accomplished
shall keep apart from politics.
