Chicago. July y.
Oats dragged. and after periods OF
firmness closed with a soft tone The
feature was hedging; pressure in the
late positions. which dslodged long
holdings purchased earlier because of
strength in corn, and an average at
Winnipeg. Offerings from the country
for shipment were moderate. Talk of
an inquiry for export was heard, but
no actual business was reported
The visible supply i'm the United
States is 12,246.oOO bushels. against
s'sSo,oOo bushels last year The cash
article was easier, Shipments from
North America for the week were
100000 bushels
The best on July oats was 75c the
low 7ic. and the close isc higher. at
74Isc. The top on August was II &c,
the bottom zoe and the final 7oI 10 &c
against OSsc al the end Saturday. The
high on September was 20 l2c. the bot
tom 69ipc. and the close 50 p q 50 sc
against 697sc at the close saturday.
The corn market saEged toward the
close today after I, had been strong on
light offerings and good general de-
mand from commission houses. A num-
Der of pit shorts were scared into COW
ering, and 1t was tight for a time. Some
hedging was noted In July and August
but none of any great amount.
This was taken TO indicate that future
and the cash article are now declining
to an equal basis. There were offerings
of September on all upturns and that
delivery ended lower. The weather was
regarded as less favorable.
The visible supply in the United States
is 10,sS3,00O bushels against 3.793.00r
bushels last year. Business was small
pending the issuance of the Government
crop report tomorrow.
The best on July was sf533s. the
bottom S1.52a4, and the close $l.533s a
$l53i2 against Sl.52le at the end Sat.

Referees to Certificates Of
Clerks as to Work Done

| refer to the certificates of
the several clerks of the Circuit
Court of the counties compos-
ing my circuit Showing my rec
ord as Judge and the manner
in which l have administered
the trust. These certificates
show that during the eighteen
months | have been on the
bench, | have tried and dis
posed of over thirteen hundred
cases, from which there have
been less than twenty appeals.
My record speaks for itself,
and | feel | have demonstrated
my fitness for the position to
which | aspire.
| charge that the record of
my opponent, and particularly
his meagre experience as a law.
yer establish his unftness for
the position of Judge.
The high and honorable of.
flee of Circuit Judge should not
be made the subject of barter
and sale, scheming politicians
should not be allowed to par.
eel this Office out to one who
happens to be on the inside, ,
and that too, in fragrant disre
gard of his ability to fill the
position. The office of Circui
Judge belongs to the people
and it is to the people that
appeal for an endorsement O.
my record, for the vindicatiol
of the right.
Respectfully,
JOHN B. HOLLOWAY
