BOTH DROUGHT
And HEAT HELP
TO BOOST CORN
Indications Of Continued Rainless
Weather With High Temper
atures Lift Prices.

Chicago, Ill, July 25.-Drought
and heat tended today to lift the
corn market. Indications were for
continued rainless weather and for
temperatures above normal. High
record prices for corn in Argentina
and on hogs in Chicago, were also
buIlish factors. Opening corn
quotations which ranged from &c
to INC up, with September, $1-95A
to $1.9615, and December $1.661z
to $1.67A, were followed by moder-
ate reactions from initial top fig
ures.
Trade during the last part Of the
day was light, and the general dis
position seemed to be to take q
waiting attitude pending crop de-
veIopments. The close was IN
settled, varying from 1c net de-
cline to a like advance, with Sep
TENDER 1855 to 1858, and Deem
Der 1655s to 1.65R.
Oats sympathiZed with the corn
strength. Demand, however, was
light. After opening unchanged to
q higher, including September It
80% c to 8O7sc, the market hardened
a little more and then underwent a
material sag.
Provisions were neglected. New
ertheless, the market which at first
showed some decline rallied owing
to uptuFns in the value of corn and
hogs

Chicago. July 25.-The corn and
oats market looks firm. Until-the
corn crop is made the dips in oats
may be small. Oats are waiting
on the corn crop news and country
corn shortage is again reported as
acute. No. white corn has risen
to 209 and the old problem of what
can break the hog price stares at
the seller of December corn. There
are hints of a very poor spring
wheat crop. However, even il the
spring wheat yield drops to 270,-
100000, the United States surplus
should be over 10000, 900 and
Europe will hardly take over $780,
10000. Oats crop reports again
suggest around 1,310, 100000 to
1,340 100000 oats versus 1885, O00,-
900 last year and 1851, 100000 two
years ago. Our corn reports of
July "a were mainly excellent sug-
costing 80 per cent of the crop can
go to IA days more with high con-
dition. The weekly United States
reports suggested corn condition is
very high but on brink of requiring
rain. Topeka, Kan, says corn is
excellent but can hardly stand
another week without considerable
damage. The corn belt was dry
yesterday with temperatures OF 80
to 96 in parts of Illinois, Iowa and
Ohio. About "a was high in Mis-
souri, and Kansas. Until wide rains
arrive December corn is liable to
act tight and some believe the mar
ket may sell $1.70 to $1.75 if an ex-
tended dry spell. A few believe
December corn at $175 will face
limit even if considerable damage
in the next three weeks. Looks as
If oats will follow corn closely.
Corn bulls apparently are wait
ing little dips. The spot oats sit

should follow corn.
