with Italy, altho the negotiations with
Italy took place in Rome and not in

that was not bribed? If we ratify
this treaty as it stands, we approve
not only the judgment but the repre-

interrupted by the weird Shrek of a
boche II shell coming over the hill,
and bursting less than 100 yards to the

the men appeared a bit startled, and

going to give an exhibition Of shadow

Morning Grain Gossip.
FURNISHED by the T0Dekn Board of Trader
Chicago, July 1.-THE Tribune-GRAIN:
1t was no more than natural that grain
values should have a sharp break of 4
cents on corn and to PA cents on oats
with rye breaking 1917 cents. The surpris-
ing thing to the bears was that the net
losses should be so small after the decline.
1t was the gossip that the break in rye
was due to selling by one of the largest
houses who have been long for some time,
at time when the market was filled with
stop orders and the latter being reached,
the drop was all within a short time. Cash
houses bought barley on the break. The
rye and barley markets are not broad af-
fairs and at times prices move over
wide range with little trading. Corn
traders explaining the break attributed 1t
rains west end southwest and large sales
of December by Updfke who was one of
the largest buyers last week. The crowd
got long on the bulge and sold out. The
technical position was such that the buy
ing support for a time was poorer and with
a reduced short interest as result of
the recent steady advance values were
easily depressed. There are a number of
large locals who are bullish on oats and
poets. They have taken profits on their
long oats for the present and are selling
December corn on bulges. Some traders
who are bullish and took profits on both
corn and oats on the early advance yes
terday said after the close that there had
been break enough and that with any good
decidedly stronger at the last shorts
were active buyers. A few of the local
traders said yesterday was high day for
the season on all grains. As wide fluc-
tuations are to be expected in the grains
commission houses advise caution in SELL
ing on breaks and buying on sharp bulges.
1t is too early for corn to be damaged by
heat rs it is not far enough advanced over
the greater part of the Kansas and general
corn belt states corn is generally injured
at this season a little later by burn
ing of the tassel and the next two weeks
