Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. Rains
over Kansas and parts of western
Missouri last night and today broke
the drouth and heat wave which
threatened to completely ruin the corn
and small grain crop.
Today it was raining at Kansas City
and over eastern Kansas while To-

Dodge City more than an inch fell
following a temperature of over 100
degrees turnout the day.
The corn belt also received a good
soaking. At 10 o'clock last night an
inch had fallen at Wichita and the
day it was cool and clear at Salina
following one-third Of an inch rain
last night. Hutchinson, Pratt, juno

from a quarter inch to a half inch
during the night with the weather
threatening today.
Much Grain Already Burned Up.
While corn has been seriously dam
aged. millions of bushels cut from the
earlier estimates, the rain and cooler
weather will prove of incalculable
value, farmers and grain men stated
today. In many sections of the state
the hot winds had withered up the
growing stocks, making them useless
even for fodder.
Alfalfa, kaffir corn and late crops
will also be greatly benefited. In
some places, however, it will be weeks
before the pastures will be fit for
grazing purposes again.

French homes are without it. Vege-
tables flood the markets at reasonable

Worry Over Coal.
Probably the only serious economic
worry in France during the war has
been the coal shortage of the winter
of 1861. The great railroad trans
portation problem occasioned by the
Battle of the Somme during the sum-
mer of 1916 and the autumn flooding
of the Seine left the couL1ry without
its supply of winter coal except for
vital Industries. The French public
has just been told in the chamber of
deputies that the coal ,tLuation will
be ameliorated the coming winter. A
specialist has been appointed by the
government to handle this problem
alone. One of. his early acts is ex-
pected to be coal cards, wing all an
equal supply.
The strikes of working girls during
May in Paris and other French cities
acted as highest tributes TO the econ
omic situation. The demands were
light demonstrations wers f the tam
est character and employers needed
but little government coercion to re-
establish their workers az wages
which, even yet, cannot compare with
the average wage of the girl worker in
the United States. Otherwise there
have been no economic upheavals in

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Aug. 1.-CORN-Rains in Kan
sas where drought has been great draw
back to the crop outlook, led today to a
sharp break in the value of corn. Bearish
sentiment was further increased by an
estimate from leading expert who figured
the probable yield this season in the United
States as high as 3,75000,O00 bushels to
rectors of the board of trade in stopping
all fresh dealings in the September de-
livery of corn tended also to handicap the
bulls. Opening prices which ranged from
&c to 11hc lower, with December at $1.16as
to $1.16A and May at $1.15 to $1.1515,
were followed by a material additional
drop.
tembtr delivery which in the latter deal
ings showed disposition to harden. The
close was unsettled, 1c net higher at $2.1s
bid September.
WHEAT-Wheat showed steadiness, in
.flueneed by opinions that altho the spring
crop yield was likely to be 40,000000 bush
els less than was predicted a month ago
the shortage had been fully offset by an
enlarged harvest of winter wheat. After
overnight advance of lie, the market later
reacted TO $2.1I.
The fact that Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa
and Illinois received Welcome moisture was
instrumental in preventing any important
rallies. The close was nervous, 1ese to
29Ac net lower at $1.15A to $1-15B Dec,
and $1.13K@1.14 May.
! OATS-Oats declined with corn. Thresh-
ing returns were said to be above the aver
age and there was forecast that the crop
might total 100000 bushels.
PROVISIONS-Weakn developed in
provisions as a result tof the downward
swing of the corn market.
