CORN JUMPS NEARLY
four CENTS HIGHER
Final Cost of July SO lac
and Upturn of 3 lie
Wednesday

Chicago, July 31.-squeezing of corn
shorts in the winding up of the July de-
livery made the price of that option jump
nearly cents higher today. The final
cost of July corn was 69Ac, an upturn of
31zc compared with last night. other
months closed unchanged to &c up. The
finish in wheat varied from s4q5sc decline
to shade advance. oats the same as "a
hours before to Amssc Off and provisions
ranging from 45c loss to a gain of sc.
Belated shorts In July corn had to pay
dearly for their stubbornness in postpon-
ing settlement until the extreme limits al
lowed by contract. After the price moved
up about &c to 6Ssse. there was said TO
have been private adjustment of diner-
ences by a number of big shorts. A few
who were more obstinate let the market
rise to 69ae before yielding submission.
In the active options corn at first
showed weakness owing to the breaking
of the hot wave and because of quite gem
eral showers opinion gathered force,
however, that the moisture supplied had
not been ssufficient to insure the safety
of. the crop This conviction, with the
squeeze in July delivery, brought about
free buying and advanced the market but
there was an easier feeling in the last nall
hour. when the July deal was practically
out of the way
Black rust dispatches from northern
Minnesota helped rally wheat The bulls

sales and from the tightness In corn.
the market was weak al
both ends of the days trading, an effect
largely of lower cables and big primary

Somewhat better threshing returns tend
ed to weaken oats. There was good vol
ume of business in this cereal. but the
total was far from being equal to that IN
corn.
Provisions suffered from liquidatins
sales by longs. The incentive came chiefly
through a decline in the price of hogs.

LEADERS DISPLAY
GAINS AND LOSSES
Feature of Market It's Sus-
ceptibility to Professional
Manipulation

New York, July 31-The most striking
feature of today's stock market was its
extreme susceptibility to professional
manipulation and the continued absence
of outside or public interest In its adj
yances or declines.
Initial trading reflected the unsettled
conditions which have characterized busi-
hess on the local exchange all through the
week. Leading stocks showed the usual
mixture of gains and losses, In no case
extending beyond fractions except in Can
adian Pacific, which soon fell a full point
and in Illinois Central which made low
er record than on the preceding day. Be-
fore the end of the first hour, however
all losses were effaced. with marked
strength in Steel, Union Pacific, ANAL
gamated and Reading. Trading In Steel
was especially noteworthy because of the
large blocks taken at best prices in many
months.
By midday these gains were obliterated,
some speculative favorites going under
yesterdays close, with acute weakness In
Chesapeake and Ohio, Canadian Pacinc
and Southern Pacific. The decline in the
first named was accompanied by rumors
of a coming cut In the dividend, while
Southern Pacific's loss was ascribed to re-
ports of a strike on the system. NV
Haven also reflected pressure, the con-
vertlble IS losing a point in connection
with the sale of some of the company's
trolley lines, coupled with protest
against the proposed issue of the new de-
bentures.
In the later dealings, which were at
tended with frequent periods of stagna-
ton, fractional recoveries from lowest
prices were recorded. The closing was
heavy, with no material net changes, ey-
cept in the issues named.
The general bond market was irregular,
and government bonds on call were un-
changed. Total sales, par value, were

A system of drilling and tests should
be made by owners of coal and ore lands
in the district, according to the opinion
of some of the large manufacturers of
this district. 1t is contended that the
raw material is in this district in abund-
ance, but the manufacturer seeking a To-
cation must be convinced of the fact, and
that these drillings would establish the
fact beyond a doubt
