GRAIN

CHICAGO. Aug. 9.-Corn eased down in price today owing largely to inn proved weather and to the gratify- ing character of the war news. The close was unsettled, s to IS cent net lower. with September s1.615s to s1.61% and October s1.63b to $1633s 1s to ]. down and provisions off r to 50 cents.
 Aggressive selling was emphasized somewhat by bearish influences regard ing the government report, but as a iule the report was looked on as hav- ing been discounted in advance. The smallness of the receipts led to little demand at one time, but was more than offset later by bulletins telling of the great success of the latest drive against the Germens. Partial recoveries that took place after midday had no better basis apparently than an effort by shorts to secure profits.
 Oats ranged lower with corn on lib- eral arrivals of oats added to the sell ing pressure.
 Weakness of provisions was at tributed in some degree to the federal trade commissions report advising control of packing industries Talk was current also that cool weather would cause the hog movement to in- crease. Close:
 Corn Sept. s1.615s; Oct $1.e11s.
 Oats Sept. e9%c; Oct. 705sc.
 Pork Sept $44.00.
 Lard Sept. s2660; Oct $2660. Ribs Sept. $24.40: Oct. $24.55.

Enid Bennett at the Uamara,

This charming Thos. H. Ince star is to be seen again today in her Para mount vehicle, "A Desert Wooing," be- ing the story of a society girl who came west to seek rest and found a husband and a romance as we'll.
 It is a smart story of the two eX- tremes, the effete east and the big outdoor western country.
 With the feature is served the first official United States government war picture actually filmed in the fighting zone with the aid of the United States signal corps.
 These are the pictures that show the boys who are now making history be- fore the German lines in Flanders.
 Tomorrow the Lamara offers George Walsh in Fox production, "The Kid Is Clever" and a corking big railroad drama, The Payroll Express"

 Two ears of fruit expected in the local markets have been delayed owing to the washouts on the roads, but are eX- pected in sometime this morning.
 The tomato crop which was expected in about a week is practically a total loss owing to the recent heavy rain. String beans and root vegetables which have recently been planted for the September crop will have to be en- tirely replanted, as the rain washed out the seeds.
 Grapes are coming in slowly, but the crop promises to be good one, and is very likely unhurt hY the rain

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 "A heat wave of exceptional severi- ty this week, extending over a wide area and for several days remaining unbroken, affected agriculture and business adversely, causing further impairment of crop prospects and re- pression of trade and industrial activ- ities. Yet the governments grain esti- mates, while unfortunately falling ap preciably short of previous calcula- tions, still give promise of large har- vests, and the patriotic spirit of many employees in continuing at war work, in spite of the extreme temperatures has tended to minimize the check to manufacturing of the most essential character. The results of the inten- sive productive efforts. stimulated by the special and extraordinary demands of the period, are seen in the pheno menal outputs at time when general and marked curtailment of operations is usually witnessed, and even more noteworthy achievements in this di rection would be possible but for the la bor shortage and other handicaps.
