CORN PRICES MAKE A
Big ADVANCE
REPORTS OF DROUGHT over A WIDE
AREA INDICATE SARINkAGE IN PROB.
ABLE CROP, and PRICE GOES UP TWO
CENTS A BASKET TO-DAY, WITH SEVEN
CENT RAISE IN SEVEN DAYS.

Chicago. Aug. Excitement in the
corn market whirled prices up more
than two cents a bushel today. This
made the advance equal to about Z
cents in the last week.
Reports were at hand indicating
that the corn crop as whole had
suffered loss of 200,000,000 to 300,-
100000 bushels in the last month ow-
ing to damage from lack of the nor
NAL amount of moisture. The greater
Fart of the injury has been in Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Ne
lraska, but the outlook for a greatly
enlarged area of damage was today
regarded by traders as dangerously
threatening.
Davenport, Iowa. sent word that all
drought records for July had been
broken. Less than two-tenths of an
inch of rain fell during the month,
and there were no signs of relief.
Peoria, Illinois, dispatches said corn in
the fields near there was fired two TO
three feet up and was not likely to
produce any grain, the color of tas-
sells having become unnatural.
