GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, July 24.-Brightening crop re- ports from the big corn producing states. such as Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, gave a decisive downward turn today to the corn market here. Prices finished easy, lac to 26c net lower with September $1 6Sl4 and December s1.141z to S1.144. Wheat de- clined 5c to 61ac and closed steady at s2.54 July and $2.25 September Oats lost sstas&c to 2Stc and provisions 25o to SOc.
 Word of the breaking up of a two months drouth in north central Kansas acted as a starter for aggressive general selling of corn.
 Renewal of peace gossip from Wash ington counted. too. in some degree against the bulls. No sufficient reason for any important rally developed and the lowest prices of the day were reached just before the close.
 Expected enlargement of receipts of wheat here did a good deal to send values for that cereal down grade 1t was gossip that there would be a con- siderable amount of wheat delivered in Chicago on July contracts before the end of the present week. In addition diff eulties hindering the progress of food legislation seemed to act somewhat as a weight on the market.
 Oats broke sharply under selling from a big house which had recently been a conspicuous purchaser.
 Weakness of grain and of cotton seed oil pulled down provisions. Advances in the hog market seemed to be wholly ig-

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS WEAKNESS
Setback Is Attributed to Weakness of Southern
 Spot Markets

New York, July 24.-The cotton market was irregular today, showing weakness early. when October declined to 2S61c and December to the same figure under liquidation following a private report which made condition 73, or 2.7 points from bottom. At the highest of the day October sold at 24.0Sc and December 2403c, from which level there was a re- action near the close, final prices being 5 to 26 points net lower The opening was steady at F points advance to 4 points net decline. There was moderate covering at the start, but the condition report, coupled with southern selling against new crop Texas cotton Wall street selling and pressure from Liver pool interests soon promoted a weak undertone. On the decline good trade buying developed and this in connection with some unfavorable reports from the eastern belt, where further heavy rains were predicted, threatening a spread of boll weevil activity, proved to be SuS- taining factor throughout most of the afternoon. The setback near the close was attributed to weakness in southern spot markets and to scattered unloading by earlier buyers. The Liverpool cables were 15 points lower on both spots and futures. It was reported that early Texas cotton will be largely taken up by Japanese merchants this season, as they have done an enormous business with far eastern countries, which formerly purchased largely from Manchester.
