CHICAGO. July 2s.--Despite nervousness on
the part Of July shorts first, and September
shorts later. the wheat market today showed an
underlying tone of weakness. The big local con-
centration in September tended to help that
future compared to the more deferred
months. Although July shorts here are in a
dilemma because the wheat arriving here can
not oe gotten into public elevators in time for
delivery this month, cash wheat was weak
There was, however, a decided falling off in
country acceptances OF overnight bids. First
threshings of new spring wheat from Southern
r,nnesota show yields of 25 to 80 bushels per
acre, and weight of so to 63 pounds per bushel
news was weak wheat, the reversal in corn
had a good deal to do with the closing re-
action.
Somewhat cooler weather finally overspread
the corn belt although the southwest was
clear and hot early. Rains were fairly gen.
eral in Iowa, and much OF Illinois, and local
owners of corn who were responsible for the
recent sharp upturn tried to unload. Country
acceptances of last nights bids showed a big
increase. Iowa sold some mixed corn here
the first in months. 1t looks as though the
backbone of the advance was broken and that
on any bulges again 1t might be sold.
Hedging sales against very large purchases
OF cash oats made night. and free
is completed up to a level with Chicago, and
the yields are excellent. big crop is prac-
tically secured
Trade was slow in provisions, and the mar
ket heavy large run of hogs and the de-
cline of 10 cents at the yards. Local scalpers
worked mainly on the selling side because of
the weakness in the grains.

run N6On0SO6yS Ddlly)
 Concluding an examination of sev- eral days of the properties of the Mount Elliott Consolidated interest. in Chaparrsl, W. N. Ogden, the sec retary of that company, left yester- day via Los Angeles, for his home at Pittsburg, Pa, well pleased and satisfied at the progress of develop ment and the favorable showing. This was the first trip of MT. Ogden to the camp since the installation of the electrical service, and of its economical application above and be- low ground, he speaks in the highest termS of approval. Mine work under headway at the present time is also gratifying to him, and in this con- nection he is irK in his conviction that the ultimate outcome of the development will be satisfactory to all interested.
 The mill is pounding away day and night on ores from the Ticonderoga mine, and the underground operations proceed with a regularity that gives this enterprise a stable regard in the mining community.
 During this trip to Arizona, MT. Ogden was accompanied by his wife, and while in the city they were the guests of MT. and Mrs. H. William Stevens, the former the general man. ager of the company.
 In speaking of the change that is reported in the superintendeney at the mine, both MT. Ogden and MT. Stevens confirm the appointment of W. J. Martin to that responsible position, the latter assuming charge today. MT. Massey retires through personal interests requiring his en- tire time and attention. The selee. tion of MT. Martin is one that meet, with general approval in this com munity, through his practical knowl

 CHARM IN QUEBEC
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

(FrOm ThCrS0ayS Dally)
 That the resources of Arizona and it's opportunities for investment as well as it's varied and matcnless eli mate were advertised by the dele gates from this Territory to the annual convention of the National Council of the Knights of Colum- bus, held in Quebec, last week, ap- pears from recent advices from the Canadian capital. Medals of novel design, made from Arizona copper, were presented to the visiting dele gates from all parts of the United States and Canada, while a ear load of oranges, lemons, watermelons and other choice fruits from the Salt River valley were eagerly devoured by the gallant Knights and their ladies, who were the guests of the Knights from this Territory.
 In mechanical design the medals were pronounced the neatest and most artistic ever presented at the supreme councils of any order in recent years. In artistic finish they are certainly models of the en- graver's art. The design was joint ly agreed upon by Attorney R. E. Morrison of this city, Judge Kerwin of Arkansas and Postmaster NJ. E. Cassidy of Bisbee.
 One of the handsome souvenirs was received by a friend from MT. Morrison yesterday morning. The pendant is a raised map of Arizona, showing in detail the outlines and principal cities. In inscription the authors show a keen appreciation of the desirability of the Territory to health seekers as well as a desire to secure for Arizona the sanatorium which the National Council may es- tablish later.
 The inscription reads: "Arizona, K. of c. Convention, August, 1910. The Attest of any region for the tuberculosis sanatorium. There are more sunny days in Arizona than anywhere in the United States"
 The flavor of the Salt River val ley fruits and melons was the sub feet of much favorable comment in Quebec. It was generally conceded the products would be awarded blue ribbon prizes at any exposition in the country.

HEAVY RAINS WASH
 OUT MANY ROADS

in the amount of precipitation re- corded, the peculiar and freakish action of the clements is shown in the observations made by pr. J. w. Finn, at his observatory in the western part of the city, which show that since June 1st the total rainfall has been less than three and one -nalf inches. Compared to last year in a similar length of time, this is a decrease of nearly eight inches.
 The road leading up Groom Creek to the Midnight Test mine is report ed as badly damaged from Thurs days eloudburst, and B. P. Wallace, who endeavored to drive a team over that route experienced muhc diff culty in reaching his destination yes terday. It will have to be practie- ally rebuilt the entire distance.
 With slight interruptions along the line from Prescott to Fossil Creek, the Arlzona Power company escaped the present storms without loss or expense, their cable lines and tow CTS being out of range of the eloudbursts that fell at many points in the eastern part of the county, over which the transmission lines pass.
 The Agua Fria below Mayer, was carrying the largest flow of water known in recent years, and the re- port that a human body was seen floating past Stoddard was erron- eous. A cast-off coat that was fish ed out of the stream led to this rumor.

 SHOOT

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 12. - Five members of the Tucson Rifle Club, all young men, are marveling at the craftsmanship of a man whom they consider well along in years. The way he outshot his young com petitors was a shame.
 Five members of the local military company went out to Wilmot station to qualify as marksmen in the Ma tional Guard service, and they took George J. Roskruge along to show him how well they could shoot. MT. Roskruge, aged about 65, decided to shoot, also. On his first attempt, at 800 yards, he got 21 out of 25 shots in the required space. On his next try he got 23. In ten shots he made four bullseyes at that distance, though he had never shot at 800 yards before.
 Whether the younger men were rattled at this exhibition of marks manship or not is unknown, but only two of them succeeded in qualifying as sharpshooters. The others will try again. MT. Roskruge easily qual- fled by his score.
 Captain Andrew Martin of the To- cal military company, sent away an order for five new rifles yesterday, having gotten that many recruits for the rifle club. Captain Martin is anxious to see the rifle club gain largely in membership, and hopes to soon pass the record of Bisbee, which city ranks hign among the rifle clubs of the country.
 The contractors who are to put in the rifle pits near Wilmot station expect to begin their work in a few days, and when the pits are completed the rifle club will have shoots every week.
