TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. Aug 7.-CORN-Corn suffered
a sharp break today a result of con-
tinued light rains in the northern part
of the belt. 1t was still dry and hot else
where, however, especially southwest and
there was a quick rally. Topeka reported
the weather today sizzling after the
hottest night of the year. The market
opened &c to 21s@214c lower. September
which started at 69c to 691sc, a loss of
&c to 13sQ11hc, recovered to 697sc.
A fresh decline followed owing to re-
ports of good rains in Illinois, but the
downpour did not prove widespread and
the market again bounded upward. The
close was nervous at 7015c for September,
net gain of a shade to 1sc.
WHEAT-General selling of small lots
carried wheat down. The break in corn
was the principal influence. September
opened 1s@14c to A@$sc off. at S61sc to S614c
and sagged to S57sc.
Increased estimates of the spring crop
kept the crowd bearish. The close was
steady with September at S6Ac, decline
of 1sdAc net.
OATS@Sentiment in oats was less one
sided than in corn, so that prices were
relatively steady. September, which at
the outset, was 415sc, showing a setback
of Am2sc, reacted soon to 417sc.
PROVISIONS-ProVis appeared to be
mainly governed by corn. weakening at
first and then turning upgrade. First

that he is capable of filling the posi-
ton.

EXPECT NO sNUB.
Administration Officials Say Huerta
Does Not Understand.

Washington, Aug administration
officials do not believe the Huerta gov
eminent in Mexico really intends to
snub John Lind, President Wilson g
personal representative, as weulo
seem to appear in last nights official
statement by the Mexican acting min
lister of foreign affairs.
At the White House, the state de-
partment and in official circles today
the Impression put out was that when
the Huerta government was fully ap-
prised of President Wilson's views as
transmitted by Mr.. Lind, a different
construction would be placed on Lind 8
errand, and Mexico would realize it as
a mission of peace"
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are disposed to await the arrival
of Mr.. Lind in Mexico City before taxi
ing any further steps in the situation.
This was made clear today at the White
House.
1t was pointed out again today that
Mr.. Lind goes merely as adviser to the
American embassy in Mexico City and
carries credentials to neither the fed
eral nor the constitutioEalist govern
ment. He will deal with the Huerta
government only through the charge
d affaires of the American embassy, so
that there will be no necessity for his
being received by President Huerta.
While the broad intimation from the
Mexican capital that Mr.. Lind would
be persona non grata attracted wide
attention today, officials were confident
that no contingency would occur which
wSuld afford an opportunity for any
overt remOnstrance against Mr.. LIND
presence. The envoy is expected to
transmit the opinions of the American
government in such fashion as to re-
