Chicago, July 31.-The four-day
rains that have passed over Can
ada and the northwest appear to
have arrived in the corn belt.
Z Early reports today suggest the
widest rains in five or six weeks.
Locals believe corn and oats have
reached the top and that a good
break is overdue. Most of the corn
reports and opinions indicate an 80
per cent corn condition with the
chance of 1900 900 900 and Of g.
600 100000. if liberal rains. Half
of Illinois and half Indiana are the
worst spots The weekly U. S. re-
port was not bullish on corn and
probably suggests 1875, ZOO, 900 oats.
II was more favorable on oats than
expected. Forecast suggests more
showers. There are more esti-
mates suggesting the u S wheat
crop is cut from 1 ,161 ,000,0 900 to
800, 900, 900. Central west reports
to date do not confirm the Inglis
apprehension and damage report.
To z p. m. last night there we're
rains in Iowa, Arkansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Tennessee, southern Illi-
nois and Michigan, mainly light.
Early reports today suggest won
derfuI rains over the corn belt.
Cash and export corn and oats de-
mand very poor. Looks like small
oats exports this fall. A cool and
rainy period for three days will re-
vive the pastures and guarantee
the corn crop. Labor troubles, race
riots and European credit problem
also affect the bull side.
John Ing1is says: Scattered rains
will allay apprehension for the mo-
ment, but unless they are more
general and frequent will give onl!s
temporary relief.
Damage from firing and burning
of tassels in many sections have al
ready taken place. The embargo
of all coarse grains at New York
is due to large movement of wheat
which will use all the eastern ele-I
vator and boat capacity.
