Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. Aug. 25.-Wheat tone is re-

large to permit of serious break.
Bears say May wheat is best sale if

England is raising 100000 men and
preparing for a long war.
Corn belt was cool yesterday with
rains in Illinois. Indiana, Missouri, Ok

TODAY'S MARKET QUOTATIONS

n crucial moment II supports theo-
ries OF a finally closely marketed crop.
The wheat market promises to be
influenced by heavy shipments for an
other month or two. Ultimately. OF
course, Russia will loosen her SO,OOO''
600 TO 100000, 900 surplus.
The wheat and oats markets have
been under war influences for &c days,
and the bull spirit is far from exhaust
ed. There is an outpourinG OF bear
theories. but they are likely TO have
little effect for another month unless
peace hoves in sight.
There are private guesses on corn
OF 1900. OOO.O 900. Last August the pri-
vate estimates were around 2.000,OOO.-
600. Corn market is due to be resili-
ent until well into September.
Our own idea of the corn crop is that
the United States will raise 3OO.OOO,OOO
above 1913. We believe in high prices
for another year. but also believe fair
sized reactions are certain.
Export news on oats indicates that
the United States has already sold
5000, 900 to 100000 abroad, and may
sell 100000 to 100000 more.
There is only one key to the oats mar
kettle export news. Bullish posi-
bilities do not appear exhausted.
The 1913 corn condition last Septem-
Der was about as bad as any crop will
ever attain-at Go per cent. In COM
parison with 1913 the 1914 crop IS TO
: per cent its superior. August wealth
er illustrates this fact. If the 1914 crop
I. finally given as . 400 0OO. 600 then
the 1913 yield was 2,100,000,OO0.

PREPARE FOR WORK
ON DIVERSION DAM

The rush job" that faces the en-
gineers on the high line this year is
to complete the diversion dam be-
tween the time of the passing OF high
water this summer and the floods of
next spring. Every preparation is
now being made for the commence
ment of work on the dam as soon as
the high water is passed.
Just now the quarry near the dam
is being stripped to have the material
in readiness for the Golfer dam. Very
little more work can be accomplished
now until the spring floods are over
and the work must then be rushed
with unusual haste. No less than
10000 cubic yards of concrete will be
placed in the dam this fall
The new steel headgates for regu-
lating the supply of water in the
canal are being placed along with
the operating mechanism. This will
be finished in three or four days.
These gates were made by the Hin
man Hydraulic Manufacturing COM
pany of Denver.
Engineer S. o. Harper is making
satisfactory progress on the reinforc-
ed concrete siphon under Asbury
creek. This job will be finished in
