REVIEW

Chicago, July 30-Owing to settle
ment of the switchmen's strike and the
renewal Of peace talk from Germany,
considerable bearish sentiment devel-
oped today in the corn market. ,UnfaV-
orahle crop conditions, however, in the
southwest and west gave the bulls
some advantage at first Commission
houses were on both sides Of the mar
ket, but as a rule became good sellers
when prices turned downward. Opening
quotations which ranged from Nc de-
cline to &c advance, with September
at S1.63ss to $163A and December at
s1i3la to s1.2015 were followed by a
setback.
FaNora bic crop reports from the CEN
trail states together with an increase Of
the visible supply total accounted later
as a handicap on the bulls. The close
was steady at the same as Saturdays
finish to sc lower with Sept. s1.63ss to
$1.63A and Dec. s1.1SA to s1.1SN.
Chicago, July 30.-Heavy rains over
the Dakotas and Minnesota bringing
relief to crops that had been in peril,
had bearish effect on wheat. After
ope ming 1c higher to $3.50 for Septem-
In later dealings September continued
to decline, but July was firm in con-
sequence of the delivery of belated
&c lower. July at s262 and Sept. at
s224
Oats eased down with corn. Besides
the weather for harvest operations was
excellent.
Provisions tended toward lower lev
els on account Of resumption of work
by the striking switchmen here.

Henry Ford today lost the Dodge
Ford suit in the Wayne circuit
court, in which Horace e. and
John F. Dodge asked that Ford be
restrained from using the 1916
profits of the Ford plant to erect
a smeter plant In River Rouge.
The Dodge Brothers petitioned
the court asking that the profits
of the year be divided among the
stockholders.
Ford's attorney. Alfred Luck
ing, declared that an appeal would
be taken to the supreme court.
Judge Hosmer, in deciding the
case, held that SO per cent Of the
profits of 1916 should be distrib-
uted as a special dividend. He
also held that the smelter scheme
is not a proper one for Investment
of the Ford motor company
profits. thus giving the Dodge
Brothers a sweeping victory over
the motor king.
