Saturday-Good Rains
Reported Yesterday

Minneapolis, Aug. 1.-THE OPEN
ing quotations in Minneapolis showed
but little change and the market has
ruled dull and a shade lower than
Saturday all through the session. y
The weakness in corn made wheat
a little easier.
Temperatures in the Canadian
northwest reached a low level. 50 be-
ing reported there. Heavy rains were
reported in the spring wheat country
on both sides of the boundary line.
Some relief from the drought was ex-
perienced and temperatures We're a
little lower yer part Of the corn belt,
but moisture was lacking in Missouri
and southern Illinois and the entire
southwest and the corn is suffering Sc
verely from this cause. -
The opening in corn was at a
sharply lower range of prices, but the
market afterwards rallied about a
cent from the extreme low point Of
the day with the final, figures about IL
cent lower than Saturday.
Liverpool wheat closed 1-S higher
than Saturday. The visible supply of
wheat in the United States increased
3,66S, 900 bushels for the past week,
corn decreased 1,16S.000 bushels. oats
increased $4,000 bushels.
h total supply Of wheat in the
visible in the United States is now
41,545,000 bushels, week ago it was
37,677,000 bushels and 1S,081,0 600

are inclined to be bearish on the big

ticeable that country offerings in the

Cando, n. D.. Aug. Am explosion

sonage yard which might have proved
very serious to a number of persons
present. Layton Joiner was filling a

pressure in the charging tank became
SO great as to blow the tank up . Mr..
Robinson says it Went up at least 300
feet and come down just back Of the
bystanders. Luckily Mr.. Joiner had
only his n hand on the machine
and h other owe it when the ex-
plosion came so that the extent of
his injuries is confined to two dam
aged fingers and a split between the
forefinger and the thumb.

After returning to Tower, however,
Ferney paid several small bills which
he owed, so that the probable amount
of what he had was $3.50 or $400. A
deputy sheriff and others spent several
days at Wadman's looking for the
money. but SO far they have bee un-
