BAD CROP REPORTS
HAVING AN EFFECT

Chicago, July 1S.-Unfavorable crop
news from Russia and other European
countries, fear of a spread of the
black rust jim the American and Can
adam spring wheat belt and the fact
that the old crop is about exhausted
caused wheat prices to advance early
in the week.
Late in the week more encouraging
news regarding European prospects
came from Liverpool, cool weather re-
moved the fear Of the black rust in
this country and wheat prices declined.
The close today found wheat futures
&c above last weeks closing prices.
Early In the week corn futures ad-
vanced because of the hot dry wealth
er, but cool weather and rains later
in the week caused a slump. The
close today found July 5sc and Sep
TENDER l &c under last weeks clos
ing prices. December also slumped on
the probability that by the time that
month rolls around liberal receipts
from Argentine will have been re-
corded.
There were heavy hedging sales of
oats all week The current receipts
more than filled the demand and oats
futures slumped July closing three
cents and September 23sc lower.
Provisions moved within narrow
range all week, governed by the hos
market. At the close today prices
were generally a little lower than or
last Saturday.

DOWNWARD TREND
ON STOCK MARKET
Arrangement of the New
Haven Responsible for
the Lower Prices.

New York. July 1S.ETrend of the
stock market was downward nearly
all week, railroad stocks in particu-
lar suffering losses. The severe ar
raignment of the New Haven in the
interstate commerce commission re-
port sent its issues to the lowest
price in the history of the road. A
number of other roads, suspected of
being financially embarrassed, fol-
lowed in the. downward movement and
practically the entire list of railroad
securities felt the pull toward lower
levels.
Continued delay in the handing
down of the rate decision by the in
terstate commerce commission was
another depressing factor. Court de-
cisions favoring Union Pacific common
shareholders as against the preferred,
impaired stability to the Hartman
lines, but the Gould lines showed
weakness.
The end Of the Huerta regime
brought encouragement to the market
but none of the industrials showed any
decided gains. The close of the market
today showed some activity on the
buying side and partial recoveries, but
for the most part the market was dull
and weak.

CONTRACT IS HELD
VOID BY COURT
Proposed Addition to the
County Court House
Cannot Be Built.

The contracts made by the board of
county commissioners Of Ada county
with Charles Blomgren and with the
Idaho Hardware &c Plumbing company
are void. according to the opinion of
Judge c. p. Mccarthy handed down
last evening, and the addition to the
court house cannot be built. The
other repairs and improv ements in
Guiding the remodeling of the jail may
be made by proper contract, but mas
much as the contracts already made
cannot be segregated. each contract as
whole must be set aside, according
to the court.
The decision reached is not upon the
points decided several days ago, but
upon another point that developed be-
cause of the evidence presented as a
result of the former decision. The evil
dence showed that the addition to the
present court house was proposed by
the commissioners for the purpose OF
furnishing office rooms for the county
attorney and other officers and mas
much as such offices cannot be provid-
ed at a cost exceeding $1,000, the con
| tract is void because it exceeds that
sum i'm accordance with section 1881
of the codes.
Judge Mccarthy declares that this
law should be changed but he holds
that until it is changed it is the duty
of the court TO enforce it.

REPORTS Given ON
THE CONDITIONO
IDAHO fruit CROP
Peach Production Will Be
Much Heavier Than Was
Anticipated - Sixty Per
Cent Prime Crop.

The recent reports on the condition
of the Idaho fruit crop received at the
office of the state horticultural in
spector indicate no material change
since the last estimates were given out,
except that the peach crop will be much
heavier than anticipated both in the
Emmett district and at Twin Falls.
The Emmett district. had been ex-
pected to turn out about 100 cars of
peaches but it appears quite certain
now that it will run fully 200 cars, and
the figures for the Twin Falls district
have been increased by the last reports
to about 80 cars. In the other sections
of the state the peach crop will be
rather light.
In the northern part of the state the
apple crop promises to be the largest
ever produced as many Of the young
orchards are in bearing this season and
the fruit in that part of the state suf-
fered very little from the spring frosts.
Double Last Years Crop.
The eastern part of the state will
produce about an average crop, but in
abe Twin Falls district the production
is expected to be more than double that
of last year. which means something
over $50 carloads.
The prune crop in the Boise and
Payette valleys will not exceed 60 pei
cent of last years crop, or in the neigh
borhood of 500 carloads. bat the in
crease in price to the growers will off
set the short crop as buyers are now

far from $500 carloads as against
