Rain, but Temperatures
Are Not Alarming.

OMAHA. July 10, 1911.
Conditions In the spring wheat belt con-
tnue favorable, although the trade Is IN
clined to believe the recent lower tempera-
lures may be misleading as late advises
indicate that there has occurred serious re-
duction in the crop as result OF the lat
est hot spell. On the other hand, milling
and export demand is inadequate to take
care OF the enormous winter wheat market
ing, which has induced heavy nquidatIng
sales, weakening both the cash and future
prices
There is great part OF the corn belt
still without rains, although temperatures
are not at all alarming. The remarkable
strehgIh In cash corn in all markets Is
the feature of higher prices, and as long
as no soaking rains are received, the mar
ket remains In a healthy position.
