WAGNER'S REVIEW
December Corn.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 25.-Our corn re-
ports continue to reflect an 80 condi-
ton. Best reports come from the
northwest Iowa and Ohio. Half of Ne
braska is in fair shape. Many 20 to
IS reports proceed from Illinois.
The government August par yield
figures 33 bushels per acre versus 321a
last August. An 80 condition will sug-
gest 1886. 100000 corn. Last August
the condition was 80 and promise was
figured as 2,S11 100000.
At 55c to 6Oc our corn values are
presumably on a three billion basis.
The lower limit possibly represents
full three b;iiions. The addition of
over 3O0,OO0,OOO after the August re-
port in 1912 shows that our crop re-
ports are merely and naturally wise
guesses.
The heat sequence of the season in
Go per cent of the corn belt has not
been alarming but the dry sequence is
remarkable We shall enter August
with $500, 900 or more possibility.
December corn entered the crop

and it's mild appreciation to date is

campaign until August weather is dis
closed. Corn movement for next five

day. Kansas heat wave expired July
10 and there have been no really high
temperatures in the corn belt from
July 19 to 25. In the last three days
about 80 out of the 4S east central and
west central weather reporting points
show rain. Chicago shipments of
wheat and corn yesterday were small.
Oats fair. Sales of cash corn and oats
only fair. One of the biggest New Eng
land feed men now here says New
England grain demand is about to in
crease heavily and will be persistent.
Local newspapers figure gain in the
spring wheat condition this month.
Canadian wheat crop looks 100000
above last year. Wheat news is about
standoff. Corn has been under the
influence of rain and cool weather for
full five days. Its decline is small.
Range of December corn for the week
is so 3-S to IS 10. Standard cash oats
is IL cents. Threshing reports are
poor, but threshing is not general as
yet. The east is hopeful of picking up
new oats little cheaper Consequent
ly the cash demand is slow. Chances
of declines in corn and oats are Sec
ondary to their vast chance of recov-
cry and appreciation Until we run
into heat spell the bulges may not
bulge in both grains are, however, ex'
cellent. Corn and oats should con
tinue as great markets.

Mornino Stock Letter.

New York, July 25.-London did not
follow our market as much as some
thought 1t would. A late squirt gener-
ally means manipulation to get level
to sell on next day. The overnight
news is not encouraging. President
Wilson is preparing to WELD big anti
trust plan-some sort of court proceed
ings, it is generally assumed, perhaps
additional legislation. He has begun
with an action against the telephone
trust to compel separation of the
western branches. There was talk
yesterday about a possible smelling,
lead or American action, but it
may be only a rumor President vii.
sons attitude towards trusts is very
well known. He made this clear in
some speeches which assailed the
trusts in unmeasured terms. Is he a
man who is likely to change his mind
For those reasons we would not get
too bullish on stocks. There are pien.
ty of other reasons. The congested
security situation means that there is
not much room for expansion in the
market. Buying nothing except on
Crives for turns.

Friends of the dead publisher say
that he never referred to his boyhood
and youth when speaking with those
who knew him in Chicago and would
let no one touch upon that period of
his life.
He was self-centered, self-confident
and successful" said the Rev. John
Merritte Driver of 1929 East Sixty
first street, who was probably Mr..
Lees best friend. "He was both lone
ly and sorrOwful after the manner of
men who have suffered unmstly. faced
tremendous obstacles. and come off
victorious though terribly SCARED.
81 never learned anything about his
youth, but | believe he was born near
Philadelphia and was of the historic
Lee family of Virginia, a near relation
of the confederate general, Robert E.
Lee. He needed wife and 'kiddies,'
and 10 one realized it more than he,
poor fellow"
Frederick c. Laird of 1916 avenue,
Lees retired partner. declared that
his friend always said he had no rela-
tives, but believed it possible that
there were members of his family of
whom he knew nothing.
Clerks in the Laird & Lee office re-
member that he often mentioned be.
ing q valet to a southern general dur
ing the civil war, but no confirmation
of this could be had from close friends.

How about the dirigible balloons?"
THE Germans are now making more
progress in dirigibles than any of the
other nations" said DR. Bell. "At the
beginning of last year. they owned 80
dirigibles, while the French had 21
and the Russians s. They had regu-

and Dusseldorf, in which the dirigible

What are the French doing in bal
looning?"
They have one balloon which has
made a scouting flight of IS hours
and another which has flown for IL
hours with 10 passengers The French
are much interested in dirigible bal
loons as related to warfare At The
beginning of last year they appro-
prialed s1,G00,ooO for sueh balloons,
and the French budget of that year in
cluded vote of more than $4,000. 900
for military aviation"
Flying Machines as Man Killers
Are the great powers of the world
doing much as to military aviation. DR.
Bell%' / asked.
Yes. They are fully alive as TO lis
possibilities and dangers. Every strong
government is experimenting and doubt
not that great deal more has been ac--
complshed than IS generally known That
is one of the things that governments
try to keep secret In the winter months
OF 1912 our own army aviators made 4ss
lights, and for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1912. they made 1900 flights The
total time that our men were in the ai1.
was about 269 hours

lishment of an aviation department for

than the top of Pixies peak. He went UP
more than 14OO0 feet, which was almost
2o0o feet above all the records preceding
September H. 1912. George Legagneux
made new altitude record of 1856 feet.
That was over 1000 feet higher than Mount
Blanc, and more than 1900 feet above
Fujiyama, Japan. The worlds record as
to altitude was made last December. The
flight was from Tunis, in Africa. by Roll
and Garros. and the altitude reached was
1902 fet. or almost four miles"
But how about keeping up in the air,
DR.. Bell? Have we got the fuel which
will keep tn machinery going all the
way across the Atlantic?'
"That we shall have it within short
time there is but little doubt. and the
duration records show that such long
flight is already within the possibili-
ties In October last John H. Towers
flew for six hours and 10 minutes in
a Curtiss hydro -areodrome from An
napoils, Md. and the worlds dura-
tion record was made in France last
September. The aviator was G. Fourny
and he flew for over 1S hours
"Have you any idea of making the
flight. DIR. Bell?"
mo, 1 have not, although it has
been reported that was to compete
for the $4,000 prize offered by Lord
Northcliffe to the man who shall first
cross the Atlantic ocean in an aero
drome in 70 hours. I do not expect to
enter and contest. nor shall | send
and machine. You will note that the
limit OF Lord Northcliffe's voyage is
" hours or more than four times as
long as the 16 hours which we have
found the possibility to be"
The Worlds Progress Toward Flight
Are you satisfied with the progress
which the world is making in aerial
navigation?"
yes It seems to me that we are
moving steadily toward successful
flight and are learning more about the
air. and more about the machinery nee
essary to navigate it, This is so to all
kinds of apparatus. We have, you
know, two great divisions. First
machines which are lighter than air
and second. those which are heavier
than air. Under the first kind come
the spherical and dirigible balloons,
and under the second the various kinds
of aerodromes, or as many call them,
aeroplanes. l do not like the word
aeroplane. Aerodrome was the term
used by Langley. 1t means 'traversing
the air. and 1t is far better than the
word 'aeroplane, which means a flat
surface driven 'edgewise through the
air. Aeroplane is applicable only to the
wings of the machine, but not to the
machine as a whole"
