GRAINS DIP DOWN
 ON VARIOUS NEWS
 REPORTS ON CROPS
Corn and Oats Suffered Re. sessions In Sy mp a t y With Wheat, With Lack
 of Buying Power

Chicago, July 24.-The drop in tenn perature overnight, coupled with crip- pied wire service to outside points due to last nights wind storm and the lack of buying pressure, today sent prices on all grains downward. At the finish wheat showed a net loss of to 31s [, with December 2.57 and March 2.60. Corn was F to 2Ac under yesterday s close. while oats suffered a net loss of l to 234c. Provisions varied from last nights figures to 200 lower.
 Wheat displayed a heavy undertone throughout the session. There was q tendency for selling which was in ex- cess of requirements and export de- mand was lacking. Reports from Bul. garia that conditions there for agri- culture were favorable and that there would likely be surplus of grain from the present crop, also had bearish effect on the market The sharp drop in temperature, it was said will pre- vent the spread of black rust, which was reported In the northwest.
 Corn and oats suffered material re- sessions in sympathy with wheat, there being noticeable lack of buy ing power from the start. Local ele- ment was inclined to press the selling by commission houses forcing the ex- ecution of scattered stop orders.
 Provisions showed an easier under tone due largely to the lower price trend in corn.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Pres,

New York. July 24.-The stock mar ket continued under professional guid- ance this week, shorts making further inroads against quoted values, mainly as result of fresh complications in the foreign situation.
 Latest conditions in central Europe with special reference to Russo Polish affairs precipitated general weakness in the foreign exchange market. the sales for bills on London falling to the lowest price in over three months. Sympathetic declines were recorded by remittances to almost every continental European center.
 Domestic aspects of the financial and industrial situation were not ma terially altered, although speculative interests professed to derive some en- couragement from the wage award of the railway labor board. and likelihood of early action by the interstate com merce commission on the application of the railway executives for higher freight rates.
 Credit contraction made further headway, the local money market being

 New Orleans, July 24.--An irregular and unsettled market prevailed in cot ton today, with prices attaining no de- cided trend at any time and the close being to 8 points down net for the day. October traded down to S2.0Sc and up to 32.41c, which represented the extreme range of the market.
 Overnight selling orders had to be contended with on the opening and the filling of them carried the market off IS to % points, but repoI ts that Russia and Poland had come to an armistice were steadying influence, causing enough fresh buying and short cover ing to bring about a complete recovery and send prices to net advances. At the highest levels of the day, however, prices were only to IA points over the finals of yesterday.
 The weather map was considered fa- vorable, since it indicated but little rain in the belt, but it did not stimu- late much selling. On the other hand, ! the buying movement which started on political news was checked by a pri- vate bureau report on condition of 75.S, indicating crop of 12,S00,o0C 1 bales.
