TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, July 19.-WHEAT-Lower ca
Bile quotations led to decline today in
the wheat belt here. The foreign weakness
was said to be largely owing to prevailing
views at Liverpool, that North American
supplies were large and were likely to in
crease in the near future. Opening prices,
September at $1.11H to $1.12M and Decem-
Der at $1.141a to $I149s. were followed by
slight reaction but then by a heavier sag
than before.
Subsequently northwestern crop reports
worse than on any day since the black rust
was discovered brought about upturn.
The close was nervous, a shade to sc net
lower, with September at $1.12A and De-
cember at $1.150115B.
CORN-Rains and cooler weather in parts
of the corn belt tended to ease off the
corn market. After opening &c to TQ1c
lower the market rallied little and then
underwent a fresh setback.
A heavy downpour in Chicago tended to
keep the market depressed. The close
was unsettled, 1@11sc off to &c up as
compared with yesterdays finish.
OATS-Oats were governed by the bear
ish action of other cereals. Price changes
though did not assume a radical character
PRovISIONs--,Provisi gave way

What men among us ever expect

speech as temporary chairman, OPEN
ing the Republican state convention

press their desires and to provide for
the payment of such improvements as
they may decide upon, recognizing the
principle of local self government and
that the final source of authority rests
and abides in the people themselves.

Turkey Refuses Permission
to U. S. to Relieve Starving
Condition of Syrians
Ru Assncintcd Prcss

Washington, Aug. 11.-Turkey has
refused to grant the request of the
United States that a neutral committee
be permitted to undertake relief work
in Syria where thousands of native
Christians are reported to be starving.
Charge Miller, of Constantinople, in
a cablegram received at the State De-
partment to-day said the, Turkish gov
ernment had informed him relief op
eratious in Syria were considered un-
necessary because crops there were
better than anywhere else in the en-
pire. He added that although he was
told the decision was final he had not
dropped the subject but would con-
tinue to press for favorable action.
On July 5 the department instructed
Charge Miller to call attention to the
fact that there had been no action
in this matter and to say to the Turk
ish Foreign Office that continued fail
ure to heed the request would put Sc
we're strain on the relations between
the United States and Turkey.
