SHiSAIO, Ill, Aug. lo-W neat
September liquidation is beginning to
be an important market influence. 1t
begins to look as though the his
tory of the past two or three years
would not be repeated in September.
Local stocks are large and increasing
rapidly. Total stocks are now in ex-
cess of 100000 bushels, in ele-
vators, besides large quantities of
wheat on track and on the way to this
market. The prediction of contract
stock approaching 5000 900, or 10000
600 bushels, does not seem as wild as
it did few weeks ago 1t looks now
as though Chicago would accumulate
12o000s000, or 100000 bushels Of
wheat before the movement stops. Any
attempt to tighten up the Septem-
Der is likely to be very expensive
Foreign situation is still a factor,
but we feel that its Importance as
bull influence is exaggerated The
worlds crop may influence prices
some three or four months hence, but
domestic conditions, which appear to
be bearish are the most important
now. Spring wheat, both American
and Canadian, is turning out better
than expected. We look for a scalp
ing market with frequent rallies but
prefer the selling side on hard spots.
Corn General rains opened the
market lower and brought about free
liquidation The country which has
been holding back old corn offered it
freely, the market had sinking spell
under the pressure Commission
house buying Of December and May
was good on the breaks. Undoubted-
ly rains have been of much help to the
growing corn. In some sections they
have probably prevented failure. In
other sections they have assured a
good crop. If reports can be relied
upon, the crop is extremely spotted
and this certainly does not indicate a
bumper yield. On the basis of any.
thing short of big crop of corn we
believe December and May a purchase.
There will be an immense feeding de-
mand
Oats Although under heavy pres
sure as result of the big movement
the market is holding we'll. The high
quality of the crop encourages ele-
vator interests to be good buyers and
the steady cash market helps futures
in spite of the big volume of hedges.
We look for scalping market but be-
lieve sales on hard spots will be
profitable.

At END
NEW YORK AERONAUT DE-
CLAREs BIRD MEN COULD SINK
ENTIRE HOSTILE FLEET WITH
PERFECT SAFETY.

Pasadena, CAL, Jan. 31.-Clifford
B. Harmon, the New York aeronaut,
declared in lecture before the Pas
adena Chamber of Commerce that
the day of the battleship had passed.
No nation. he said, would care to
send a fleet of warships to these
shores on hostile mission with such
masters Of the air as Curtiss, Hamil-
ton, Willard and others ready to
meet it.
1T has already been demonstrate
ed" said Mr.. Harmon, "that one bal
loon or aeroplane can carry sufficient
explosives to annihilate any fleet in
the world, while the warships would
be powerless to protect themselves.
Before they could reach our coast our
aviators, flying at great height.
could sail over them and sink them
one by one. Within year there
probably will be score of men in
this country who would undertake
such a task with safety"
