OF the port of New York.
The nomination was made by q COM
mittee OF no citizens representing In
dependent Democrats, Republicans
and -Progresslves and came after a
heated battle between fusion forces.
Republicans wanted Charles s. Whit
man, the district attorney of New
York city, nominated for mayor on
the fusion ticket and the choice Of
Mitchell was made after several spirit
ed meetings. Mr.. Mitchell led by two
votes on the last ballot.
Mr.. Mitchell is perhaps the youngest
man to present himself as candidate
for the chief office In the city Of New
York with the exception of Theodore
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt was but
twenty-eight years old when he led the
forlorn hope of the Republicans In
1886. John Purroy Mitchell is now
thirty-four years old.

SOW early i'll the northern states in order that the fall growth may fur nish a protection to the roots from winds, freezing and thawing in No- NemDer.
 Winter wheat that gets through November without serious damage will probably be in good condition next spring. A heavy fall growth of the wheat in September and October-which it will get if you SOW early-will be a great protec- ton in November This will apply to Northwest Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and Western Maryland, but not to other southern states.
 The greatest wheat land on earth needs the completion of our fore east system. We have reference to the eastern slope, called the plains states and provinces. When our system is completed it will be known what years those plains sections will produce wheat. and ihat will add immensely to the pro- duction of that cereal. We are pushing the work toward comple- ton as rapidly as possible.
 Our general calculations for 1914 crop weather will be completed by first of October. Our progress is slow but sure, and our forecasts are surely improving all the time.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKETS.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July [. Cattle receipts at all points to- day were very light, and the market here was 10 to 9 cents above last Thursday. A rather unsatisfactory market last week, together with plentiful rains all over the pasture and corn country, reduced incen- tives to ship to a minimum. Buyers overreached themselves last week in bearing down on prices, figuring on a normal supply today. They were able to act as they did last week, on account of the weekend holiday, but today found them in the saddle early, and with rush or ders. Native steers sold at S8.75 in two cases, large number of fed steers at SS.40 and upwards, year ling heifers at SS.65, bulk of the na- tive cows S5.50 to S6.50, veal calves up to 80 In the southern division only T cars arrived, as compared with 239 cars a week ago, and grass steers sold at S5.65 to S670, some caked steers up to $50. Some 969 pound steers from Kiowa, Ok, al S6.60 were from same herd that

 the stock steers selling at S6 to S160, feeders worth S7.10 to SS The run of 1000 cattle today was only & few more than half what was ex- pected. The close of the market today was its strongest time, and unless there is good run later this week further advances will be in order. Hog receipts were alse light, at 1000 here, and the mar ket is t5 higher, top $S.921a, bulk SS.S5 to S8.90. Sheep and lambs re- ceived today, 1000 head; market ie to 15 higher.

Washington, D. C., July 9.-Last bulletin gave forecasts of disturb ances to cross continent July r to 2l and i9 to g; warm waves fl to IS and Is to 22; cool waves r to 2l and 2l to ,. Remarkable for sudden and great changes in temp eratures. These will be of greater than usual force, and the last one will he severe on the North Allan tic and will inaugurate the great storm period due for last half of July. Our storm and danger sig nals for all parts of the continent are displayed for July l9 to 3i.
 Next disturbance will reach Pa cinc coast about July g, cross Pa ciilc slope by close of 2i, great cen tral valleys 9 to 2, eastern sec tions 2S. Warm wave will cross Pacific slope about July 23, great central valleys D, eastern sections 2. Cool wave will cross Pacific solpe about July 26, great central valleys 2S. eastern sections 30.
 This will be a severe storm all the way across the continent and in eastern states; on North Atlantic if will be a furious storm following July ?. We continue to advise great care and careful observa- ton of the indications that always precede severe storms. One of the surest signs of the approach Of dangerous storms is dark blue sky. Great storms draw the mois- lure from the atmosphere, leaving ii to appear as it does when viewed from a high mountain.

 About first of September we will inaugurate an improvement in our forecasts. giving them more in de- tail and localizing them. Our ter ritory is so large that we have been compelled to put out forecasts somewhat of a general character. We are now able to announce great improvements for the coming fall and winter.
 We are of the opinion that, in large parts of the winter wheat sec tions, the July rains will put the soil in good condition for sowing winter wheat. Probabilities are that September will be a very warm month, October warmer than usual. November colder than usual and December warmer than usual.
