Chicago, JULY 1o.-Decided strength
largely as a result Of opinions that the
government crop report was less bear
ish than had been expected. Besides
foreign advices were construed as not
SO promising as had been hoped for
regarding a possibility Of peace grow
ing out of the parliamentary crisis in
Berlin. Pit offerings here, altho rather
free at first, were quickly absorbed.
Opening prices, which ranged from l Is
cents decline to g cent advance, with
September at s1.54k to 1854 and
December at S1.16 to SLIT, were fol-
lowed by sharp upturn all around to
we'll above yesterdays finish.
Bulletins which purported to tell Of
a declaration by the German chancel-
Tor that peace was far distant led 10
additional advances in prices. Decem-
Der corn scared to a new record price.
Dry hot weather in the southwest
counted also against the bears. The
close was unsettled, 21s to AS cents
net higher at 1857 to 1.57A for Septem-
Der and 1.21 to 1.21A for July.
Wheat.
No independence was displayed by
wheat. After opening Y cent higher,
at 5000 for July, and September nom
inal, the market reacted a little and
then rose to $2.O5 for July.
Reports of strenuous opposition to
certain sections Of the food control bill
in the senate led later to something Of
a setback in prices. The close was easy
at " cent to l cent net advance with
July at 2.031s and September at 1.91.

The feasibility Of forming a sort of
military school of instruction for citi-
zens. with the local company Of Mac
cabee Rifles as nucleus, is being
taken into consideration at present,
and it may be that this will eventual
ly be done, if it is found that enough
interest to warrant such a project can
be aroused. It seems practically GER
tain that universal military training
is coming, and it is certain that every
man with even little preliminary
training will be better equipped to do
his bit" when the universal training
shall arrive. There are numbers of
young men in town who would like to
take a course of military training, but
who do not care to join the local COM
pany of militia for various personal
reasons, and these would doubtless be
glad to drill with the boys of the Mac.
cabee Co., who have already had quite
a bit of training.
