Chicago, July 5.-CORN-Because of the
whitening heat, the price OF corn today
jumped up 4Szc bushel. For the same
reason, oats made skyward leap Of
21s42Ac.
The corn market was boiling with ex-
element right from the start. Buying or
ders seemed to pile in from all directions,
but sellers were scarce. The furry re-
ceived greater impetus from the fact that
Kansas City reported an advance of DC a
bushel straight The intense heat and
absence of moisture over the corn belt
was the factor Besides, world shipments
were reported as much lighter than had
been looked for, and Liverpool dispatches
told of heavy covering by shorts
The opening here ranged all the way
from PIC to 4szc higher. On the same
option, trades in different parts of the
pit at a given moment varied as much as
21ac apart. The greatest relative rise was
in the July delivery. September, which
was the most active future, started zz1c
to &c up at 6415c to 66c and finally steadied
around 651kc.
With oats and hay said to show the
lowest condition recorded, the market
showed little tendencyt o decline, despite
uncomfortable profit taking In the final
half hour of trading the market shot up
higher than ever, touching $3.50 for Sep
TENDER and closing strong at 66szc, net
gain of 4%c.
OATS-in the oats crowd trades were
almost fully as much exercised as IN the
corn pit. Business was on huge scale
The specific news that attracted greatest
attention was an official report from
Iowa showing a falling off of % per cent
in the condition of the oats crop in that
state. Most of the damage was laid to
| the excessive heat and to the lack OF
rain. September opened 7sq1c to 21sQ2Ac
higher, at 4515c to 1870. and held to about
46c.
WHEAT-Wheat was affected chiefly by
the bulge in the coarse grains. Offerings
were unusually light. with commission
houses and pit traders almost unanimous
" taking the bull side. Reports of ex-
cessive heat in Russia added to the dis
couragement of the bears, and so did Of
fetal crop advices of a depressing sort
from Germany. The opening was 5sc to
134c up. September started at 9Os4c to
size, a gain of &c to 11zc, and assembled
to 912lc.
Notwithstanding pessimistic dispatches
regarding North Dakota and Siberia, the
market sagged materially when the effect
of the corn furry wore off somewhat The
close was steady though at 9lss475c net
gain of 1ssQ115c-
VISIONS@Provisions sympathized
with the advance of cereals, but receded
on account of an extraordinary increase

CAPPER AT ALMA.
Topeka Editor Discusses Public Ques-
lions on Glorious Fourth.

Alma, Kan, July 5.-A-thur Capper,
a Republican candidate for governor,
made his first political speech here
Tuesday. The picnic here was not a
political affair and Mr.. Capper spent
little time with politics.
Mr.. Capper denounced the trust and
special privilege grabbers and praised
the decision Of Secretary Fisher in the
Alaskan coal land cases. He paid a
tribute to Theodore Roosevelt to
whom, he declared, more than to
any other man is due the awakening
of the public conscience and the
arousing of that spirit of broader pa
triotism which distinguishes this
day"
With the man who has the courage
to disregard party lines, lies the fu-
ture well being of the nation, Mr..
Capper declared. and, in closing his
address. he said:
THE courageous Kansas voter-the
man who, aroused from the sleep of
party bigotry, votes as MS conscience
dictates, who realizes that there has
been too much partisanship and too
little patriotism; too much politics
and too little love of country-is to my
mind the ideal citizen.
When I read of he brazen pur-
chase of whole counties OF voters in
Ohio; the sham eless debaucheries of
Pittsburg and San Francisco; the
filthy rottenness of Illinois legisla-
lures. / rejoice that I live in decent
Kansas and whether it is within my
party or without, I denounce with all
the emphasis can command the sys-
tenn OF politics which produces Lori
merism and all the stencil and corrup-
ton that goes with it. This spstem is
the inevitable result of an unholy al
lance between political organizations
organized for public plunder-and
business organizations seeking special
privileges. It follows, as day doth the
night the forming of machines which
take the control of party organization
from the hands of the reople.
L rejoice that in this state we eie-
vate the citizen above the party, and
J the citizens rights above every other

ATWOOD HAD TROUBLE.
Abandoned His Flight for the Day at
Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, N. J.. July 5.-Harry N.
Atwood, the aviator, after fighting
heavy winds throughout his flight
from New York, terminated the third
leg of his proposed journey from Bos-
ton to Washington by landing in his
biplane on the beach front yesterday
| afternoon. During the flight Atwood
made three landings for gasoline. One
near Asbury Park, the second at Tuck
erton, N. J., and the third at Venice
Park, near here. He said that judging
from the amount of gasoline he used,
he must have Travelled at least 250
miles. He was IN the air more than
five hours. The distance along the
coast is about lis miles.
I feel too tired to attempt the trip
to washington tonight" the birdman
said. MY route and time Of starting
again win depend entirely on condi-
lions.
1.-THE only trouble had was with my
gasoline supply. After left Governors
Island headed along the coast A
warning whirr of protest from my en-
CINE as I neared Asbury Park, told me
the gasoline was low. So I landed.
Here I took on five gallons of gaso-
line. My tank holds Is gallons, but I
thought the five would be sufficient as
the wind seemed to be losing its force
when 1 rose again I tried a higher
altitude in the hope of finding ouieter
currents The wind was stronger If
anything, so TOOK a travelling altitude
Of about 1900 feet
II experienced little trouble until I
neared Tuckerton. Here the gasoline
went dry again. I had considera BILE
difficulty in spotting a landing place
but finally descended in a little clear
ing. I borrow five gallons of gasoline
from the owner of an automobile and
made a good getaway.
1t was in the fly to the outskirts of
this city that had my hardest fight 10
keep in the air. The velocity of the
wind here was the strongest of the
trip. 1t took me until almost 2 O'Clock
to make that last II miles, but 1 must
have made at least 80 miles.
THE wind grew more treacherous. as
I swung up to Venice Park on the out
skirts Of Atlantic City. I encountered
air bumps and air holes that made the
going rather difficult. To make mat
| ters worse, my gasoline ran out again
Il came down, narrowly missing dis
aster when a puff of wind caught the
plane about a hundred feet from the
ground. was almost thrown from my
seat as the wind got under the wings
again when I struck the ground
Il felt the shock, but found my ma
! chine unchanged and continued, after
taking on more gasoline. When I cir
cled out over the ocean, found ths
currents the most stable of my flight
and made a successful landing in At
lantic City
