TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Aug 1.-Weather con-

few. Liverpool started the crowd SELL
ing early but as soon as all offerings
We're accepted the market as usual
hardened until a full half cent was
added. Conditions. if anything. must
improve with a continuance of this
warm bright weather. but ones berter
judgment should suggest that these
conditions have, if anything. been too
fully discounted although Without
proper support prices may recede
somewhat further Over 100000 BUSH
els were bought at the seaboard yester-
day. At Chicago, Duluth and here
OIL cars were received against 407 last
week and AL for the same day a year
ago
Corn, notwithstanding the receipt of
but "a cars, 10 of which grad. l No. 2,
was in no great demand. After open
ing steady, a few buyers appeared but
for scalp only. There is no appar-
ent cause for anxiety during this
month from hot winds, but should the
atmosphere become thoroughly dry, it
would take but very short time for
the hot winds to do considerable dam
age which cannot this year be endured,
without materially affecting the value
favolably.
Oats have been brought down to a
fair level with other grains but more
on account of persistent short selling
than liquidating of holders.
Provisions opened off quite feebly
and found few friends. There were
but l4,0oD hogs at Chicago, making a
total of 24,0O0 at three important
packing centers. This decline has
been SO persistent and resistless that
as consequence sentiment has
changed and short lines have been
substituted. -A .r

Venezuelan Insurgents Will Probably
Attack President Castro
Willemstad, Island of Curacao. Aug.
1.-All eastern ports of Venezuela.
incluaing Barcelona, have been aban-
doned by President Castro, all Of
whose forces and resources are being
concentrated near La Victoria, which
is three days distant from Caracas.
and which IS near the mountainous
district of Guarico, where the advance
guard of revolutionists under General
Mendoza appeared some days ago.
General Mendoza's IS forces retreated.
however. to join General Matos army,
which was in the neigh borhood Of El
Sombrero. and advancing by forced
marches. Once these two forces ef-
feet junction, it is expected that
they will take the offensive against
President Castro. The situation Of the
government is far from clear. notWith-
standing that the revolution seems
lacking in unity and direction. Al
though there is much opposition to
President Castro he still controls the
situation and single defeat inflicted
to the reVolutionists probably would
render him the arbiter Of the conn
try's future. The president Intends to
leave Caracas for La Victoria Thurs
day. The reyolutionists have reap
peared on the outskirts OF Caracas.
