BEARS HELPED
BY OUTLOOK FOR
BIG RECEIPTS

Chicago, July 30.-Prospects Of
effect on the wheat market today.
Slowness Of export call tended fur
Their to weaken, as also did favorable
crop reports from Canada On the
declines, however, demand broad
ened out from traders who talked Of
higher prices after the present
heavy movement of wheat let's up.
Opening quotations which varied
from unchanged figures to 1hc
lower, with September 1.23A to
1.23A, and December 1.26 to 1854
were followed by moderate decline
all around and then something OF a
rally.
Month-end evening up made
price charges irregular in the late
dealings. The market closed ner-
vous, &c net lower to lie advance,
with September 1854 to 1881,
and December, 1.2SA to 1.26a-
Predictions of dry weather gave
f1rmness to corn. After opening sc
of to Is q &c higher, with Septem-
Der at 6eA to 60hc, the market
scored slight general gains.
July delivery underwent a ma
terial sag at the last. The close
was unsettled, 2Sc net lower tc
| asc@11c advance, with September
at 603sc to 601ac.
Huge stocks on hand tended tt
case the oats market despite con.
tinued reports of poor yields from
the new crop. Prices opened un'
changed to &c lower, September
3S12c and remained easy.
Provisions were easy with hogs.

DREADNAUGHT
WORK MAY STOP
Present Appropriation Not Big
Enough to Finish Construction
Further Grants VIII Be Fought

Washington, July 80. = Omitted
Press. Work on three or four big
battleships the United States is
building may be stopped shortly be-
fore the Washington disarmament
conference meets and held up until
after it's results are known.
Because of increased costs of con-
struction due to the war, four
dreadnaughts cannot be completed
within the money previously grant
ed by congress. A group of mem
bers of the house has determined to
fight any bill increasing the appro-
priation until it is determined
whether an agreement on arma-
ment reduction can be reached by
the conference.
A test of strength of the new
movement probably will como II
the house Monday or Tuesday wheI
a vote is expected on the question
of raising the limit OF cost on two
battleships-the Maryland and Cali
fornia-which are very near com
pletion.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, July 30.-Sudden stop
page of export buying has done
much to bring about lower prices
in the wheat market this week.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning showed losses rang
ing from 1c to 215c a bushel, with
corn varying from &c TO &c de-
cline to 1hc advance, and oats down
rs c@2c to 31sc. In provisions, the
net changes extended from 12c de-
cline to tic advance.
At first, wheat buying for export
was apparently on such large
scale that published moderate es-
Inmates were derided as intention
ally misleading. Bulls put stress,
too. on advices that wheat bought
bv Belgium in Australia was arrlV-
ing out of condition, and on state
ment from Secretary Hoover that
the United States surplus grain
would be in demand for Europe
Later. however, a falling on In
selling caused opinion TO gain
ground that the maximum OF re-
ceipts had been passed, SO far as
the domestic winter wheat crop
was concerned. Later in the week,
however. the Canadian crop was
reported to be a bumper, and
subsequently European demand
seemed to come almost to halt
Inquiry from domestic millers ceas'
ed also to be of an urgent charac

receipts the gains which had peel
