THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
General Depression in Other Pits Weak
ems Wheat Also.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The general de-
preston in grain for the last few days
and the raids in both corn and oats by
depress wheat values. and this has been
encouraged to some extent also by the
apparent lack of interest shown by our
foreign friends. who do rot seem to be
desirous of buying very freely at pres
ent or making contracts for future ship
ment from America. General conditions.
however. had not changed materially.
Reports from the winter wheat thresh-
ing indicate a very liberal yield. also
quality much better than has been an
ticipated owing to the long continued
heavy rains.
Corn seems to be without many
friends. All at once 1t has become a
sort of good for nothing property to be
kicked ebout. Advices fron all through
the West are TO the effect that little or
no corn can be expected from this on.
and where they have any surplus at
country points 1t is wanted right at
home. and at prices much above what
1t would net the dealer to be shipped TO
any general market.
Oats-The long continued scarcity of
oats to meet the necessities of demand
for city consumption maintaining price
in the sixties for so long a period. the
congestion in the new July. etc.. has
sort Of created such a wild range of
prices and the wider range OF views thai
1t is difficult to see anything of special
interest. The market is very much up
set The weather is unfavorable through
out the oats States. retarding to great
extent the harvesting and sending to
market of this grain. The arrival of
new oats to date, however, show thar
the grain has not suffered quite as much
as had been previously reported, and il
is possible there will be greater guam
tity of really good commercial grain
than the weather indicates. Prospects,
so far as can be seen, are not good.
Provisions opened higher on higher
hogs, but when grain broke our mar
ket went to pieces and closed weak.
Liquidation was the rule. and as the
market declines II increases, showing
that there was an enormous line of
longs in the market.

NO ROCK ISLAND ACTICN.
Directors in Conference.-The Underwrit-
ing Syndicate Planned.

NEW YORK. July 29.-There were fur
ther meetings OF Rock Island directors
today to discuss the readjustmert CT
the company's capitalization but so fan
as could be learned the full board did
not act upon the scheme. This is not
likely to occur for several days yet. but
friends Of the company claim to have as
surances that 1t would go through with
out material notifications. One reason
for this assertion was the clain tha,
the Moore syndicate owns considerably
over one-half of the stock. By some the
fourths of the outstanding shares. which
would be si5.OOO.OO0 out of the total
$50, 100000. OF the s15,000,000 of new
stock the syndicate will take its proper
tionate share.
At the office of the company discussion
of the proposed plan was again refused.
and 1t was declared that no interviews
had been given out this week.
The following statement, however.
was given out as official:
Under the new plan of reorganization
of the Rock Island road neither banks,
trust companies. nor underwriting syn
dicates will be required to furnish any
money. There will be no commission to
underwriters. Every shareholder, small
or large, will receive til. same benefits
For the present plans the road does
not need any money. The new stock
which each shareholder has the privi
lege of subscribing for 1917 per cent of
his holdings at par, Will furnish all the
money needed for its present plans.
The shareholders alone are interested
and will receive all the benefits aad
bonuses.
