0 yes, the Money Trust has its
hooks in Chicago. The Pujo re-
port says the Chicago hooks are
the First National, the Illinois
Trust and Savings and the Con-
tinental and Commercial Ma
tional banks.
And the funny thing about this
banking game is that the people
deposit their savings in the banks,
who loan it to the frenzied hnan-
ciers.
Then the frenzied financiers /.
pull off the stock watering
stunts cleaning up the people
with the peoples own money.
And just SO they won't over
look any BETS the bosses of the
Money Trust control the big life
insurance companies so they can
get their meat hooks on what
savings go into life insurance.
It's safe bet the Chicago end
of the Money Trust has about
ten of its fingers in the. big mer-
ger scheme of handing the peo-
pie another lemon.

the southern plateau states and west

high temperatures on the eastern
Rocky mountain slope and in the cen

and by showers and thunderstorms in
the Rocky mountain region, the upper
Missouri valley, the northern portion
of the lake region and the west gulf
sections. Showers on the Atlantic
coast have resulted from the north

MORNING GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, June 2s.-Very little rain
fall in the grain belt, outside a nice
wetting in North Dakota up to Z p. m.
Friday. A hot spell with temperatures
of 90 to SO covered Kansas, Nebraska,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
parts of the northwest. Chicago fore
caster says the hot spell of middle

Texas corn condition is So, not 65.
Wheat movement continues very
heavy and the Monday visible de-
crease will not be bullish.
Oats receipts are liberal and ship
ments fair.
Chicago corn receipts are not extra
ordinary. Corn rallies easily and 10
Gals are bullish, but good upturn to-
day should be enough. If map is dry
and hot, setbacks in coarse grains arS
liable to be moderate. On my reports
of this week, and there are several
hundred, cannot guess the July corn
condition below so to 50. Oats look

FOR INVESTMENT.

Chicago, June 28.-My correspon-
dence reflects an extraordinary coun-
try confidence in corn values. Impress
sion prevails that the July corn run
will be moderate, also that the soil his
tory of the year is unfavorable to a
large yield.
The hay crop promises a large re-
duction from 1912 and the oats will
be very small crop if July heat is
extreme. We are dealing with three
great coarse grain forces-speculation
consumption and confidence
The widespread oats damage is a
proof that something is soilwrong. The
rains are not coming at the right time
and they are not sufficiently persistent.
My poorest corn reports proceed
from central and north Texas, western
Kentucky, southwest Indiana, south.
east Ohio, east central Nebraska, cen.
trail and north Kansas. Sections OF
Pennsylvania and New York send poor
reports. Central Illinoois, east cen
trail Illinois and south central Illinois
complain literally. Reports from the
poor sections range so to IS.
The end of June attempt to break
wheat seriously has failed. Tremen
dous interest is evidenced in the July
report. We know all that the bears
din in our ears daily but we do moi
know what will happen to the worlds
crops next 20 days.
/ prefer wheat purchases. Send
your orders to meet favorable spots in
corn and oats. Provision gossip is a
shade more bearish but the success
of maintained downturns can be
doubted. E. w. WAGNER.

COUNTY CROPS

That corn in Rock Island county is
doing good despite the late start oc
casioned by the wet spell at the nor
NAL period of planting is evidenced by
the July report of Thomas Campbell,
county crop correspondent. In his
schedule forwarded to the bureau OF
statistics, department of agriculture,
Mr.. Campbell reports that the acre
age of corn planted in Rock Island
county this season comes about five
per cent short of the total planted in
1912, although the acreage is normal
compared with average for recent
years. The stand is not entirely UP
to normal for this period of the sea
