What viii Corn Prices Do !

Chicago, July 31.-What corn prices
will do from now on depends largely
upon the weather over the leading
states. Temperatures late yesterday
afternoon ranged from 95 to 100, with
no rain in sight. The crop is in
critical stage where every day of high
temperatures without soaking rains
decreases the possibility of large
crop. Losses are the worst since
1901, when they were 81 points. The
crop needs lower temperatures and
heavy general rains. Showers will
not do, except to give the market
break from time to time and keep the
bulls on the anxious seat, preventing
them from making much money and
encouraging shorts to sell on dips
from time to time. Those who sold
out long corn on yesterdays bulge
said they expected to take it back
again should there be a break today
in case of showers predicted material
ize in substantial way. An enor-
nous absorption of corn has been on
in the last few days, and the trade Is
wondering where 1t all comes from
and where it has gone. 1t is said that
the big selling on yesterdays bulge
through several of the private wire
houses was for the New York cotton
crowd who made lot of money on
the bull side last winter. Pit traders
had less long corn last night than on
Tuesday, and quite few were short.

new RATE SCHEDULE
P. O. Hereafter Will take Parcels
up to Twenty Pounds.

The new schedule of rates on par
Gel post packages within the first two
zones has been received at the local
postoffice. 1t will go into effect Aug.

In effect, the new regulations do
away with the line between the first

being the same under the new regula-
tons.
Under the new law it will be posi-.
BILE to send parcels weighing up to
twenty pounds instead of to only elev-
en- pounds. ...
The rate on local delivery is re-
duced from cents for the first pound
and l cent for each additional pound
to cents for the first pound and 1
cent for each additional two pounds.
The rate for first zone delivery 9th.
er than local is lowered from 5 cents

The rate on second zone delivery Is
lowered from cents for the first and
cents for each additional pound to
5 cents for the first and 1 cent for
each additional pound.
How seriously the new rates will af-
feet the express business is evident
when one considers that under the old
regulations it was cheaper to send all
packages over five pounds in weight
destined for short hauls. by express,
while the highest postage rate within
the first two zones is now lower than
the express rate minimum. Quick

their rates to meet the new form of
competition. ...

Chicago, July BID. d. Gutter, who
travels for the Northwestern railroad,
says the supply of range cattle will
be small this year, but quality will be
better on account of the abundance
of good grass all over the Dakotas
and Motana. Settlers are beginning
to see the advantage of raising their
calves and many are holding back
all their young stock this year, which
may add materially to next years sup
ply.

Good Cleanser.

For cleansing glassware, nickel, mir
rors, or tinware, take Spanish whiting
and wet with cold water to make a
thick paste; wet only what you intend
to use at the time. Rub this over the
article to be cleaned, then let dry;
then go over 1t with another cloth,
dry and polish well. The dirt will
come off with the whiting and the pol
ish will be very brilliant. This is
fine for window glass, as no water Is
lsed, and the hands are not wet.
