CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. July 31.-In a last of the month squeeze shorts had to bid July wheat up 12 cents a bushel and July oats up 11Ac. An even more acute pinch in setting July corn contracts was averted by recent action of the board of trade directors, whereby all fresh dealings in the July delivery were forbidden Corn closed nervous, l 5s off to E up with September at s164m and December $1.171a to s1.175s. Wheat finished unsettled. varying from seven sents decline to 12 cents advance. at s274 for July and s2.17 for September. The outcome in oats ranged from x setback to a gain of 612 cents net. Provisions showed a rise of 12 to 37 cents except July pork, which lost 20 certs. The general run of crop reports. except from Kansas and Oklahoma, were favorable.
 July wheat scored gains during the last fifteen minutes of the session which outdid the total advance made in all the rest of the day put together. Meanwhile the September delivery of wheat had continuous downward bend owing to rains in the northwest auguring well for the improvement of the spring crop.
 jump to the unprecedented price of 90 cents a bushel was forced in the July delivery of oats before the wants of shorts were satisfied. Then the market broke to S2 cents, but again shot up to S5 just at the close. De- ferred options were easy. Close.

TRIES TO USE GUN
 IN HALLUC|NAT|0N

MESA, Aug. 1.-An aged man by the name of Morrow residing on North Mcdonald street, has been for some time past suffering from hallucina- tions, brought on, it is supposed, by the weakness of old age, coupled with the continued hot weather. Monday he imagined that a young man, who was boarding at the house had no business on the premises and made several at tempts to get a shot gun. The officers were called in, but it was considered that the sufferer was not dangerous and that short rest would probably result in his restoration. He was not removed but is under the constant watch and care of those with him.
