TNTER-oCEAN REPORT.

Chicago, JULY 24.-Wheat traders
regarded the sharp upturn yesterday
as only natural after a continued
break of 9 cents in as many DAYS. 1t
was claimed thai September and more
deferred futures having declined Mon
day to the lowest point of the season
and then rallied. that liquidation had
run its course and tina the market
was in shape for an advance and vas
on a healthy basis. 1t is said by the
bulls that the market is not prepared
for any radical change in the spring
wheat crop and any decided modiica-
tion in the estimates might easily
make a good advance. One of the
leading bears said he was off the short
side last night as he expected higher
prices. Cutton's buying of short
wheat was responsible for the last
bulge. 1t is the belief among the
largest of the cash corn handlers that
there will be light offerings and a
smaller movement until after the mid
die of August. They expect to see
September move up to a July basis
and say cash corn will continue to
bring big premiums. Traders general
ly loo upon the rally as natural and
due to the oversold condition. but they
We're cautious in advising buying on
any further bulge and many consider
it a two sided affair.

LIVERPOOL CABLES
CLOSED LOWER
Better Weather and Denials
of Black Rust Principal
Factors in the Market.

Minneapolis. Mimi. July 24.-Liver-
pool cables on wheat 1-s to Ia lower
than yesterday at the close.
Better weather and denials Of black
rust were the principal factors in the
wheat market this morning and caus-
ed a lower opening in all Of the grain
markets. Minneapolis September
opened from IS 1-2 to - 5.S which
was from a cent to / 7-8c lower than
laet nights closing quotations. The
market eased off still farther after the
opening and September sold down to
~ 3-S with but a fractional recovery
at any time during the session and
ruling within rather narrow limits all
through the session.
Kansas City wired about 1 o'clock
that prospects We're that about 200
cars Of pew wheat would go over the
night, unsold.
Shorts covered rather freely yester-
day on the advance so the market
lacked support from this class Of buy
ers. Hedging pressure also helped to
ease the market. Winter wheat Is
moving rather freely at present with
prospects of an increase soon. in the
movement to market. st. Louis re-
ceipts today were $4,000 bushels,
compared with 10000 bushels a year
ago. Shipments of wheat today $4,000
bushels. last year they amounted to
$4,000 bushels.
The weather map showed some rain
in h Canadian northwest the past "a
hours. One of the railroads was out
with a crop report estimating the Ne
braska wheat crop at 55,O 900, 900 BUSH

London. July 24.-Money and dis
count rates were steady today. On
the stock exchange Winston Church
ills speech on the navy created fears
of increased budget estimates in
duced further offerings of consols
which in the absence Of buyers fell
half a point to 70 ga. a new low rec
ord. Other gilt edged securities de-
clined in sympathy. Metropolitan
Rails were down to the commence
ment Of the settlement. Foreign rails
and copper stocks were firm. Ameri-
can securities were quiet and feat
ureless during the forenoon. Trading
was light and prices held within a
noon Wall street offered stocks and
the list eased off. The closing tone
was easy.
Fargo-Farmers here from all over
the state attending state fair.
Everybody says best crop state ever
raised. no complaint of black rust.
Lookout for hot weather reports on
corn. They are coming from Okla
homa and several from Kansas City.
Fargo---Forty-fve miles around
more black rust than can be found any
year and far less than last year.
Earliest wheat is taking on color and
cutting will begin next week. The
fields seen today will average % to 25
bushels per acre and possibility of rust
in this district is too remote to be con-
sidered a crop factor.
Regina-Government report-The
wheat crop throughout the province is
now fully headed out. Seventy-fve
per ent of the grain crop is so we'll
advanced that farmers are looking for
to have from a week to ten days
earlier than last year. The weather
last fortnight was cool and showery.
some points reported slight frosts but
no resultant damage to the grain. The
change to warmer weather during the
past few days have brought the crop
forward more rapidly. Owing t o the
early cold spell early sown grain has
not come through so we'll as the later
seeding. Red rust has made its APP
pearance but up to the present there
are no reports of damage by black
rust.

IRREGULAR TREND
IN PRICES TO-DAY
Further Reaction was OBJ
served in the Movement
Of Stocks Today.

New York, July 24.-Further reac-
ton was observed in the movements
of stocks today. Prices showed an ir-
regular trend at the outset. but actual
heaviness was not manifested until
quite late in the session when many
of the leaders were materially under
the preceding days close.
The foremost factor today was the
feeling Of pessimism caused by pub
lished forecasts Of the Stanley COM
mittee's report on the u. S. Steel cor
poration. Wall street looks for a con-
tinuance of the agitation against So
called trusts"
Steel again was the most active of
the speculative issues and the special
target of bear attack. although 1t
yielded less than some other stocks
in the same group. Pressure against
Reading and Union Pacific was per-
sistent but the shorts seemed to lack
courage to carry their advantage very
far.
Central Leather and American Hide
and leather submitted financial state
ments. the latter company reported
marked gains for the last quarter, but
in neither ase did the securities of
these companies make appreciate re-
Spouse.
Money on time worked towards
greater ease. but chiefly in the short
er maturities. The dullness Of the
stock market is calculated to further
reduce loans.
No change from the recent steady
but dull bond market was shown to-
day. Total sales par value a%ggregat-
ed $1.445,0O0.
U. S. government bonds were un-
changed.

INSPECTION TOUR.

Nlnona, Mimi. July 24.-H. ]. Wa
gen. general agent of the Northwest
ern offices in Winona. has returned
from a trip by rail and auto through
the grain fields in southern Minnesota
and South Dakota. He was accom-
panic by Minneapolis grain men.
Nearly ten days were consumed in
the inspection tour. which stretched
over about 1000 miles. The railway
Trip was made IN a way freight in
order that the most minute inspection
might be made. From the stations,
trips We're made inland by auto and
they We're in close touch with crop
conditions. Elevator men and farm
ers We're interviewed.
The outlook is the best in twenty
years said Mr.. Wagon.
The weather of the last week has
beer ideal Tor filling. The grain was
uniform and of good color. The ber-
rles were plump. The stand was ex-
ceilent.
Conservative estimates placed up
on the yield in western Minnesota
We're: Wheat. Is to 25 bushels; bar
ley, 80 to As bushels; oats, 40 to go
bushels.
The ten men in our party. all IA
mlliar with crop growth, looked es-
p%ecially for any trace Of black rust
and found none continued Mr.,
Wagon. Not a field seemed to be
affected. Teh crops in the territory
west Of Waseca seem to be a trife
more advanced than those further
vest due to the fact that territory
mas mad less moisture"
Inc oats. wheat and barley plants
have filled %splendidly during the week
or cool weather. according to a show
ing ny samples brought back by Mr..
wagon. The corn also has made re-
markab!e progress.
IL is conceded, however, by all grain
men N Winona that what is now
needed is dry and warm weather.
harvesting Of rye and barley is now
IN progress, a few pieces of early oats
nave been cut. Wheat in southern ter
ritory Will be ready for harvest about
July 20. and in the central section by
August 1. ~
Warm; dry weather with sunshine

Tor them In predictions a week ago"
said w. B. Parsons Of the Western
Elevator company.
70 GATE there is not one phase
wnlcn In any way would detract from
..ese glowlng reports although addi-
.ionai coid weather with intermittent
dains. such as have been experienced
during the last week, will curtail the
yield of the fields"
Mr.. Parsons said reports from the
asents were to the effect that the
crops have been brought to the point
Where no nor moisture or cold
weather a be endured II the harvest
Is not to be reduced.

OF OATS.

Oats are maturing in the north
west under favorable conditions and
some is ready for the binder. Cool
weather in the last several days de-
layed the ripening and tends to plump
the kernel. Since the early scare the
conditions have been suitable for full
tillment of anticipation looking to a
satisfactory yield. Rains have been
frequent and while showers have been
scattering on the whole moisture has
been Very Well distributed. A few
points had too little but these are ex-
c"ptional. Harvesting will be quite
we'll under way his week. Receipts
in Minneapolis fer the week were ia
cars against 90 ears last week; ship
ments 60 cars. Prices declined "a 3
cents in the last week.

JUMPER
LOSES HIS MATE"
Big Bag Fails to Drop to the
Ground and Floats
Away into Space.

Fargo, \. D., July 24.-"Dat oil sack
might he still goin' tomorrow after
noon at this time. or h might be
soin' day after tomorrow" said Prof.
John Ralstron. colored, an hour after
he had "cut loose" from his balloon at
a height Of $500 feet yesterday after
noon and while trying to locate the
bag between clouds. which kept right
on going up after the parachute drop.
Spectacular Ascension.
The balloon ascension was VERY
spectacular. The great bag rose al
most straight in the air after leaving
the fair grounds, and she was hardly
of the ground until her weights fell
off. For this reason she went up very
rapidly. The balloonist failed to hear
the first pistol shot which was the
signal to cut loose from the bag. the
next several cartridges missed fire. and
he continued in his upward trip at
such a rate that those below thought
he was unable to cut loose. Finally
he dropped, however, coming to earth
within a few hundred feet Of the spot
from which he made the ascension.
Balloon Disappears.
AS the professor reached the ground
in safety. the spectators glanced up
ward to locate the balloon. but it had
disappeared. Five minutes later the
clouds scattered somewhat, and the
missing balloon could he family seen
at a great height. 1t was seen no
moro for 90 minutes. when the clouds
again separated and it was observed
that the bag had shifted its position
considerably. and was travelling at a
rapid rate toward the northeast.
That was the last seen of the hal
loon. 1t may he still going and if it
is. it has covered considerable terri
tory.
Its a good thing we have another
sack with u.s." remarked the profess
sor as he scanned the great cloud
field with a hopeless gaze.
Second Ascension.
The second ascension took place at
s o'clock. and was V e o %eventful
than the first. Incidentally. balloon
. got away also. but soon came
to earth and was captured.
Apparently there was not enough
"juice' in the big bag as h left
the ground. and the stock barns Wei q
barely cleared. The colorcd man
hanging to the parachute ATTEMPTED to
anchor himself to the barn and pull
the balloon back to earth. He anchor
took a long distance swing to harm
No. >. where he dropped off. Relieved
of his weight, the gas bag shot up
ward and travelled some distance be
fore its sand bags turned it partly
over. permitting the gas to escape, and
ii came to earth.
Rolstron says he will pay a liberal
reward to anyone finding the lost ball

THE CORN N,RKEr

The corn market was slow in tho
last week with small receipts and an
equally small demand. Toward the
end. the demand had gained slightly
as buyers took more interest in the
situation and generally thought prices
are low enough. the new crop being
far from made. The local trade was
Gull with only "a cars arriving agains,
an equally dull market a year ago and
receipts 81 cars. Some outside or
ders were in and As cars shipped. Tn.
crop indications in the northwest are
good though late weather is too cool
The earlier warmth and sunshine
brought the crop along rapidly and,
excepting the very late planted fields,
the crop is about up to average at
this time in the season.
