CORN And OATS BURNING UP
WiId-Fire Market Due to Heat and
Drought-Prices Reach Highest
Level This Season.

Chicago. July 6.-There was n wild-fre
market to-day in corn and oats. Heat and
drought sent prices far above any level
previously reached this season. Closing
figures were strong at nearly the top
point of the day, with corn Zip Az to
8 1-Sc net, oats at an advance of "a to
3 Lac and wheat showing a gain Of IA
to 5-S and Sac Provisions varied from
five cents decline to a greater cost Of loo.
Alarming messages from the Southwest
started corn on the upward rush. Okla
homa and Texas reported crops burned
to death In the sizzling heat of the last
few days. Southern Kansas told of
temperature as high as 10 and no promise
OF rain or cooler weather. Damage news
came also from Missouri but 1t was fear
as to the prospect of harm spreading
widely on both sides of the Mississippi
that caused the greatest excitement
Trade all to-day was immense in volume
so great indeed that profit taking on 9
huge scale appeared to be lost sight of In
the stampede of new buying Contributing
to the furry was the fact that oats and
hay crops were said to show the lowest
condition on record.
Toward the end OF the session. bull
lish sentiment far from diminishing,
whirled the market nearly a cent be-
yond the topmost figures touched be-
fore. one ominous reason was that
cash dealers reported no offerings Of
corn from the country. During the
day. the September option ranged from
SAN to 667s and at the closing gong
was Az net higher at 66a,c.
In the oats crowd, dealers were agi-
tated to an extent seldom witnessed.
According to one leading expert, signs
indicated a crop of 30O,ooo,0OO bushels
less than last year and besides the
condition Of day was put at 66.4 against
500 for the corresponding time T.
months back The condition percent
age on oats was estimated at 67.2 COM
pared with S7.5 last month. Iowa was
officially reported as having fallen off
IS points during June. Under such
circumstances, due mainly to lack Of
timely GOODNESS and moisture an active
higher market was inevitable. Out
| side limits reached by the September
| option proved to be 46aic and 45lac
with last sales IA and u net higher
at 1865.
| For the most part the rise OF the wheat
| market resulted from sympathy with the
! lig advance Of corn and oats. An i'm
| portant factor however. was the idea that
| Ncrth Dakota no longer had rosy out

| developments in Prussia southwest Rus
sia and In Siberia. Taking the day as a
whole. September fuctuated between 30 IA
| and 81 a., closing steady at 81 3-Sd9l 1-2 a

The Grammar School Soccer League
starts Its season next week, and all
the teams are preparing for the COM
ing series Much interest IL shown
by the boys Of the different schools
In the city this year.
There are Ave teams In the league,
and among them is the Kan eleven.
Many OF the players who were on the
championship team have reached the
age limit-seventeen-a so will not
be seen In the Grammar league this
year. In spite of this. enough new
material has been gather together to
form strong team, which will make
the other aggregations work some to
get goals.
The st. Louis team. which gave the
Rams the hardest rub last year In
the soccer series, Is said to be the
strongest bunch on the field this year.
and the boys are confident that they
can give the Rams run for their
money.
Last year the Rams played seven
and won all, which was remarkable
record. II the Saints can repeat this
season they will certainly be wonders.
Mr.. LOOMS Is In charge of the
Grammar School League this year,
and has become popular with the ath-
letes Of the different schools. Most
Of the games will be played at Makiki
grounds and at the Kan field.

The beauty Of this system IL that
players can have as many tries at the
pot as they have quarters to spare,
and that even IL they have poor match
| in prospect, they can always have the
| fun of playing In the sweepstake COM
petition. An odd part of the machine
game IL that men who make poor scores
are trying to better them up to the
very last day OF play, while men who
come in square or up on the colonel
early in the month get the notion that
they can do even better. and keep on
fattening the pot with quarters. No
one Is under obligations to tell how
he stands. and It's surprising how many
players will be on hand to hang round

of small change handed to the lucky
