WHEAT CONDITIONS
BEST EVER KNOWN
Prevalence Of Black Rust Only
Disoouraging Feature at
Present
CANADIAN OUTLOOK GOOD

Chicago. July 13.-Grain traders ex-
pect the black rust scare will focus at
tention several more days and affect the
wheat market considerably when IL re-
opens Thursday. The world wheat sit
uation is regarded so strong statistically
that any material damage to spring
wheat might stampede foreign buyers,
who must depend on North America
until the new Argentine and Australian
crops are harvested. Black rust dew
astates so rapidly and so widely that
trading sentiment Is more affected by it
than by any other crop blight. Spring
wheat has reached it's critical stage and
professional crop killers are impressed
with its vulnerabilty because of the
unusually moist soil and late season,
but damage forecasts are. merely
guesses.
Crop Expert Goodman. whose July
crop forecasts were very close to those
Of the government. says that, il pres
ent weather conditions continue for an
other week or two, spring wheat may
score a record crop, oats will be out Of
the way with an increase over the gov
ernment's estimate, and corn will be
developing a better crop than now in
dicated. Average crop conditions for
the last five years have deteriorated
for this time Of the year.
Exporters After Limited Wheat
Wheat traders expect the market will
reopen with moderate business and eau =
tious trading until It Sgets its bearings.
Exporters are after limited amounts.
Corn traders recently turned as bearish
as they had been bulish. and cash
corn's decline of more than thirty cents
in three weeks increased their conf :
dence. A great deal Of corn selling has
been on heavy receipts at primary
markets for several weeks, the heaviest
for the period in eight years, but this
movement Is regarded as having reached
its maximum. The new crop can yield
around 1900, 900, 900 bushels IL the
next sixty days bring warm weather,
with occasional rains. The recent
break in grain values would have been
due in June IL the crop season had not
been late.
Corn accumulations at terminals are
assuming goodly proportions, but are
not burdensome. The corn market has
broken better for the bears of late than
at any previous time in a year. Coarse
grains are largely domestic, while the
wheat market is international and more
intricate, consequently better specu
lative leader. The entire grain trade
wants action in wheat again.
Reports from all over the Canadian
prairies to the Ogilivie Milling Co
yesterday showed the best conditions eve,
known at this season. Rain has beer
| evenly distributed through Manitoba
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The only
reports of injury by hot winds are from
| Alberta near the border
| A. Wertheimer. of Packingtown, bacl
from northwestern trip. says: "Graz

tality, but are in the best condition eve
known at the middle of July. Ar

Mayor Turns DOUn
Truce in Fare War

after the conference. that they should
go to Mr.. Stotesbury and Mr.. Lloyd for
information.
However. il is true that in the con-
ference the Mayor took the position that
the contract of 1907 providing no
changes of tariffs or rates should be
made without the consent of Council
was good contract and should not be
violated.
THAT contract was made when the
Rapid Transit Co. was seeking to be
relieved of obligations including the
paving of streets from curb to curb
which the city, under Mayor Reyburn.
agreed to take over in consideration Of
the payment Of certain fixed sums by the
Rapid Transit Co. and certain. restric-
tions as to changes Of tariffs, including
the very important one now under con
sideration. >
Insists Contract Stands
"After that contract of 1907 the
Public Service Commission was created
by act of the Legislature, and was
given powers which seemed to have in
cluded the right to change contracts
previously made, SO far as they related
to rates, there being difference Of
judicial opinion in New York and
Pennsylvania courts on this question of
power to annul contracts.
THE Mayor takes the position as
director Of the Rapid Trancit Co..
which he is compelled to be under the
agreement Of 1907. and in the confer
ences he has held with Mr.. Mittpn.
Judge Gordon. Mr.. Stotesbury. Mr..
Lloyd, Director Twining. City Solicitor
Smyth and others that contract is a
contract until it is broken or overriddcn
by the courts or some other authority.
and that the contract Of 1907 provides
that there shall be no change Of rates
or fares without the consent of Coun-
cil."
Decision Is Delayed
+ No decision on the complaints
against the proposed elimination of the
| free transfers by the company is ex
pected from the Public Service Com
mission before July %.
This is the plan of Thomas Il. Nit
ten. company president, to obtain more
funds for the company. 1t was opposed
by some directors and by the city and
business mems associations.
f, The city carried the fight to the com
mission and as a result the company
agreed to suspend the operation of the
new rates, which were scheduled to 20
into effect July 1, until decision was
handed down.
