Ehiehy y-con.

Chicago, July "a. - Cooler weather.
tending to allay fears regarding black
rust, gavesan advantage today TO the
bears in wheat. Temporary scarcity
of offerings at Arst caused a rise in
prices. The opening, which ranged
from Is cent of to x cent advance,
with September at 1.1S1s to 1.1sA and
December at 1.21h to 1.221s. was fol-
lowed by a moderate general upturn
and then a sag all around to below
Saturdays finish.
Later hedging sales against rural
shipments of new winter wheat formed
a handicap on the bulls but bad crop
reports from the northwest together
with liberal decrease in the United
States visible supply total resulted IN a
sharp rally. The close was strong, 81
to 31s cents net higher with September
at s122B and December at sl.25.
Corn.
Hot dry weather IN the corn belt
brought about rise in the price Of
corn. The market, however, reacted
when wheat turned weak After the
Opening, which was y to rs cents
higher. nearly all Of the gains disap-
speared and in some cases were rep,ac
by net loss.
Enlarged receipts here led afterward
to a setback IN the July option but
other deliveries hardened The close
was unsettled varying from u cent de-
icline to a rise of e cents.
Oats.
j Oats had no independent action.
changes were governed principally by
corn.

ieions. Last week sellers were buyers.

PERU REGRETS LOSS
OF LARGE FACTORY

Since reports have reached Peru
that the city is about to lose its larg-
est manufacturing plant, the United
Refrigerator companies, which will
move to Richmond, the Chamber OF
Commerce of that city has been STIR
ed to action on the flood prevention
question. Officials of the refrigerator
companies informed local committee
men that one of the chief reasons that
the company must consider another
location is the failure of the city of
Peru to take steps to eliminate danger
from floods.
The Peru factory is located on the
Wabash river. Each spring large
part of the factory is washed away
and work handicapped for long pc
Rod. E. W. Shirk. general manager,
informed local men that Peru has
been promising to do something. 1t
would now require at least two years
to remedy the flood conditions there,
he said, and the city has waited too
long.
