CHICAGO. July So.-The wheat market was
depressed in the past week by the rush of
new grain, receipts of winter wheat being the
largest In years, with a total Of 900 bush
els, the sensational advance OF July in the
first half of the month causing a heavy selling
by farmers and in turn, by dealers The
movement in the week brought the July re-
ceipts up to the normal. Extreme nervousness
marked the last three days on reports of rust
in the spring crop. These reports We're scat
tered and. with but one exception, revealed
very little damage. However, the trade recog-
nized the possibilities of danger, for the de-
structive rust epidemic of 1904 did not appear
until the last days OF July, when harvesting
was almost ready in South Dakota, and the
yield was cut down s60,000000 bushels in the
grain states during August. Conditions are
now similar to 1904 in a heavy growth and
unusual moisture
Brokers have not heard the last Of the rust,
and an excited market wiz prevail until all
danger is passed. South Dakota will be in
harvest next week. and harvesting VIII be gen.
eral in two weeks The extent OF the spring
crop cannot be determined as long as rust Is
threatened4 Fall in the price has checked the
movement from the farmers, and the receipts
will not be materially enlarged until the first
movement Of the spring crop. Growers are
reluctant to accept orders under 81. and they
wiz be less disposed II damage to the spring
crop develops. Receipts, while large, have
been we'll absorbed by the milling trade. South
ern mills are seeking grain in the northern
markets their local crops have been ab-
sOrbed Europe has been purchasing on a
small scale prices have been dropping, and
there will be no Improvement in these pur-
chases as long prices continue TO show a
lower trend. The heavy crop in Russia Will
supply Europe with larger volume than dur
ing the last two years, and being the cheaper
grain. II Is reasonable to expect importers to
keep out of our markets until necessity forces
purchases. The wheat market is in a scalping
position, and should be sold on all showings of
strength and only bought when crop damage
reports appear.

A sudden jump in Western Union was &c
