Kicker has completed it's examination.
Every part of each car will be taken
cut and examined. Measurements will
be made for spring and frame sagging
and the result of the examination will
then be compared with the measure
ments at the start of the tour and the
winner made known.
Chairman Hover stated that while
there were still five perfect score cars
competing for the Glidden trophy, and
FIVE for the Hover, he believed every
car on tour would be given some penal
ties at the last test Wherever the ex-
aminers find the cars to be out of or
der the drivers and mechanics will be
il strucIed to make all repairs necessary
to put the machines in first-class run
ring condition, and penalties will be
levied according to the material and
labor called for.

includes the contests for the Glidden,

ToDAY's MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, July 3o-WHEAT-Fresh ru-
the wheat 0 t fede Of North DaEot Caused
firm opening in the wheat market to-
day, initial quotations being shade to &c
above the final figures of yesterday. The
market however. soon became rather
weak on selling brought out to some ex-
tent by the Minneapolis trade journal S
estimate of 2S5 million bushels as the pro
spective total yield of wheat for Mime
apolis and the Dakotas. Opening quota
tions on July ranged from $10s14 to 81 .0S3s
and on September from $105B to 81. 0514
After touching $1oS24, July dropped to
$1.0S September sold off to s1O42z after
selling at $1.059s.
The market was nervous the remainder
of the day, but the tone became decidedly
weak in the final half hour July sold
off to $1.07 and September to S1.035s. The
close was weak with July off &c at s1.O71s;
September was down 11sc at $1O3s4.
CORN-Large receipts of corn that had
been estimated had a depressing effect
on the market for that grain ina at t the start
result of scarcity of offerings. July
opened a &c lower at, Tic and advanced
opening unchanged to 1sc lower at 66&4c
to 6s!Sc.
The market became weaker following
slump in July oats. the July option selling
off to zoe. Septemb Der declined to 66c. The
close was weak, July 114c lower at zoe;
OATS-Liqufdation based on favorable
crop prospects caused weakness in the oats
market early in the day. Trade was con-
fined to the deferred months at the start,
no quotations on July being recorded dur
ing the first half hour. September opened
and for a time held within that range.
OV1SIONS-Provis1ons were firm ow-

prompted by 1oc to 2Oc advance in live
hogs. Prices at the opening were 21zc to

KANSAS IS CHEATED.
Traded Two Tons of Wheat Soil With
California.

Los Angeles. Cal, July 3o.-Two
ton samples of soil have been traded
with Kansas by the Agricultural
school of this state for the purpose of
experimenting in raising wheat.
The same seed wheat, it is known,
sown in either state would give diff
ferent results on account of the differ
ence of climate and soil. Being i'm
possible to transport Kansas climate
to California, or vice versa, Kansas
soil has been brought here. A series
of experiments, it is thought, will de-
termine the effect of the different
climates on the composition of the
wheat. The variety sown will be
