market responded to them during the
morning because the Wall street mar.
ket was firm and advancing, and be.
cause the general strike order issued
during the night did not interfere
with business any more than former
days. Liverpool was firm at rs ad.
vance. Berlin firm and higher. Very
bad hailstorms covered number OF
counties in North Dakota, Mime.
apolis and Duluth together decreased
stock $4,000 for the week. Modern
Miller says have not only checked
farmers deliveries but worked con.
siderable damage to soft wheat In
fields especially in the southwest.
Would confne buying in wheat to soft
spots.
Corn-On the whole. crop advices
We're little less favorable for the
day. An expert who has been over
Iowa claims that frost any time be.
fore Sept 20th will injure lot of the
late corn and that without injury the
stand Is thin and possibly 20 per cent
short. We believe late months should
be bought on every reasonable de
cline.
Oats-Trade inclined TO take prof.
Its on swells because the movement
to market is increasing. 1861 cars to

CORN BADLY INJURED
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PoR.
TONS OF TERRITORY RE.
PORT CROPS CUT HALF.

Tulsa, /. r, Aug r5.-That the corn
crop of the territory Is cut short 80
per cent by the almost unprecedented
hot weather Is generally believed OF.
ficials OF the Midland Valley freight
and traffic department state that
along their line corn is at least this
badly damaged, though an increase
acreage OF about 25 per cent will give
the crop OF about so per cent OF last
year. Other opinions from large leas.
rs place the estimated damage to corn
at a much higher figure. The fields
especially upland fields. are burnt as
badly as In autumn, and all the corn
which had not matured two weeks
ago is generally admitted to be total
ly ruined Near Coweta and Broken
Arrow, which two places are In the
center of the corn belt. all the upland
or prairie corn. except that planted
very early. will fail to mature. Tip and
down the immediate Arkansas river
bottom the outlook is some better.
though II rain does not come at once
the bottom corn will be no better than
the upland
Cotton so far has not suffered
much. but It is perilously near dan
ger. Already some of the fields are
looking very sickly and wilted.
The hay crop. most of which has
been cut. Is one of the finest of re-
cent years. The hay is of an eX.
cellent quality and the hot sun and
wind cured 1t well and rapidly.
