ket opened generally lower and held
steady during the first few moments
Of the session followed by a break
with q subsequent rally of about 1c
per bushel from the low point. The
rallies were feeble, however, and Of
rather short duration, new buying
power being lacking, and covering by
shorts being the chief support on the
weak spots. Weather conditions
throughout the entire wheat belt were
of a most satisfactory character.
Southwestern markets continued to
show the easy tone, both as regards
futures and cash prices, which has
been prevalent during the past two
days. st. Louis reports a sale Of old
2 red wheat at a decline &c per bush
ell as compared with yesterdays
low point. The market as yet shows
very little rallying power and while
the decline has been severe conditions
surrounding wheat r Of such a char
acter as to curtail, or at least not
attract. new speculative buying.
Shorts have furnished the principal
support on all declines today.
Corn-Prices finally yielded with
the September delivery showing the
greatest decline, which in that month
amounted to 1 ga from last nights
closing prices. The market become
over sold and prices rallied toward the
close on covering by local shorts. We
are still of the opinion that it will be
very difficult at the moment to ad-
vance prices, but would advise eau
ton in selling on the declines.
Oats-The market continues to
show the same inherent weakness
which has been prevalent for a long
period, rallying on covering by local
shorts. The cash position, generally
was not as strong, prices in our own
market being / to. 1 1-2c lower. Out
side of temporary rallies due to profit
taking by short sellers, we can see
nothing in the situation to cause any
sustained advance.

Great Filling Weather.

Special to Pioneer Press, from Wi
mona, Mimi, July 16.-The marked
drop in temperature over this section
today, from the hottest day of the
year on Sunday with a maximum of
81 degrees and hot winds playing on
the grain fields, to a miximum today
of 6S degrees has brought reports
from the agricultural sections of
southern Minnesota that are thorough
ly pleasing to grain experts IN VII
mona. Three days of weather similar
to that of Sunday would have brought
general harvest of wheat and barley,
but today's cooling breezes will have
tendency to allow the plants to I'LL
out and greatly increase The yield.
Present weather conditions means
thousands OF dollars to the farmers.

New York. July 23.-Mrs. Woodrow

Mr.. Wilson and have both read
with very great interest the inclosure

thank the league in his name for its
powerful support. 1t would be hard
to overestimate the assistance which
such body of women can render 10 q

campaign, that there are moral issues
involved, and Mr.. Wilson can not
fail to be profoundly helped by the
mere consciousness that such women
believe in him, as a worthy leader in

ARMY WORM ATTACKS CROPS.
Doing Much Damage to GrOwin.
Crops - Standing OF Blease and
Jones at Maycsyille.

Mayesville, July 23.-This section
Oh the State has not escaped the
ravages of the army worm. Last
year, this worm caused lot rf
trouble around here, but its ravages
are far worse this season. 1t is not
the cotton crop alone that this pest is
confining its activities to, for the corn.
nay, and potato crops are being Sc
riously damaged, also. Some of the
leading planters report that whole
fields of young corn are being lost
on account of the worm and that the
pea-vine hay crop is practically ruin
ed. For several years, the farmers in
this section have been reading about
the army worm but until last year
they never knew what a terrible pest
this little worm was, and this year
they are realizing to the fullest ex-
tent it's devastations. AS the cotton
crop was materially reduced here
abouts, the production will certainly
be considerably reduced now that the
army worm has come to help Gu.
down the over production, which has
been the cry whenever the market
is low. The loss of much of the hay
and corn crops will seriously affect
the farmers. AS a whole, the condi-
ton of the crops in this immediate
section is satisfactory. barring the
of the work above mentioned pest, al
though the wet weather has caused
some fields to look pretty grassy.
Politics are beginning to warm up
as the election draws nearer. The
Jones and Blease forces appear to be
about evenly divided in town, all
though in the last election, Feather
stone beat Blease by nearly two to
one at this box. Apparently. Blease
seems to be gaining ground here. A
good many people are of the opinion
that Jones is not strong enough to
run against Blease.
