Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 3.-Newspaper COM
ments are much more friendly to
wheat. The market is declared in a
firm position due to nervous feeling
as to rust in the northwest and TO the
vast quantities of wheat sold abroad.
It is also felt that II cents for Septem-
Der wheat at Kansas City discounts 4
lot of bearish items. Worlds stock OF
wheat are lowest in several years and
while Russia has liberal old wheat re-
serves, Europe generally will raise
nearly 100000. 900 less wheat than last
year. The Russian crop of spring
wheat which runs 500, 900, 600 or more,
is damaged.
Cool weather everywhere yesterday.
Central west and southwest received
little rain. Northwest was also main
ly dry. Breaks in wheat should be
temporary for few days. Corn crop
news from central west continues of
the best. Plenty of rust in oats
throughout Nebraska, Iowa and north
west Oats have been Hquidated to
rallying level.
Bulls on October ribs still predict 13
cents. Stocks OF lard and pork are
too heavy for extensive bull operations.
1t is 100 to l against extensive black
rust any year.
Wheat market is in a novel position.
Crop outlook is burdensome, but the
June decline has discounted things
against the July l to Is period very
literally. Minneapolis and the north
west now govern our trend.

December corn after rallies.

Ten Days of watehfuI Waiting.

Chicago. July 3.-The northwest has

Excess rains that lead farmers tc

nature TO stop the rain faucet has
arrived. For a few days wrea, IS no

Our special northwest correspondent
maintains that a dry July in the north
west is impossible-too much moisture
in the ground and air-that rust is
present over vast sections-that black
rust succeeds the blowing of red rust
from dead leaves and dead straw.
More talk of red rust seems certain
and talk means damage fears.
Guesses of 80 to IS per cent for

Senator Borah (top) and Senator
Burton.

Washington, ID. c., July S.-Deter-
mined republican opposition to the
pending river and harbor and antitrust
bills has developed in the senate.
Senator Burton of Ohio has an.
nounced that he will make the fight
of his life against the pending river
and harbor bill, the so-called pork
barrel measure, which calls for an
appropriation of $35, 100000. Mr..
Burton declares that the river and
harbor bill which he now opposes is
the worst that has been before con-
gress in his time, and he admits
that this is saying a great deal
against it. Senator Burton has al
CARDS as eXtravagant pork barrel
appropriations.
He says if the present measure
gets through the most of the $685.
100000 will be absolutely wasted;
that the appropriations are made
without any regard to their need;
that democratic congressman have
engaged in 'log-rolling" to insure
their reelection. He says the waste
which this expenditure would entail
would be nothing short of criminal.
Senator Borah is helping Burton in
the latter's fight against the river and
harbor bill. Borah has also declared
war against the administrators anti
trust bills. He declares that their
effect must be to increase uncertainty
instead of removing it, and further to
place business at disadvantage.
