RAILS TO SPLIT HEMISPHERE.

A plan is under way to realize the
project of a railway from Hudson
bay to Patagonia, Most of the route
could be trayersed by lines already
built, it is stated The journey,
amounting to about ten thousand
miles, would occupy from l6 to 10
days.
The Siberian railway is 5,4s1
miles in length, from Petrograd to
yladivostok. The Cape-to-Cair rail
way, when it is completed, will prob
ably be considerably longer than the
Siberian, but will fall short of the
immense distance from the arctic
circle to the southern tip Of South
America.-0utlook.

Claims of the appearance of rust in

yield is probable
The British commission Is reported to
be out of the export market but there
were bids from other sources at IN
changed to 1c lower.
A few hedging sales were In evidence
in this market, but nothing of promi-
nence.
Fears of rust were an early motive In
corn, but were forgotten later, prices be-
ing more inclined to reflect the receipts
of 260 cars and very slow cash demand.
Deliveries on July contracts so far
this month approximate the 1,JOO,OOO
bushel mark, with probability OF more
20 come.
Somewhat higher temperatures are pre-
dlcted, which viii be distinctly beneficial.
A feature in the market is the absence
of any broad outside interest or lmpor-
tant buying power. II may be argued
from this condition that the heavy tone
of the cash market and the discount Tor
the July delivery Will drag prices lower.
The cash market in oats Is inclined 10
anticipate receipts of the new crop, as
premiums are slowly disappearing.
The lack Of general interest is more
pronounced in this market than IN the
others. Prices should drag with any
weakness In corn.
