WHEAT WEAKENS
AS TRADERS WAIVER
Corn, Oats and Provisions
Higher on Chicago Board
of Trade.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Wheat was easier,
but corn and oats were strong and pro-
visions higher on the Chicago Board of
Trade to-day. Net results of the short
session were recessions of IN az cents
in wheat gains of l A421s cents in
corn and 1G1h cents in oats. Pro-
visions made net gains of from to
22n cents
The technical position Of the wheat
market occupied traders at the start of
the session and there was considerable
'changing of holdings between the vari
,ous options. Prices wavered rapidly, but
there was plenty of support on all breaks
Just until near the end.
Early there were renewed reports OF
black rust in Canada, but these were
later discounted by opinions that dam
age would not be severe. This latter de-
velopma ant offset to some extent a de-
crease in country offerings. Another
factor was private advices from Europe
that reselling prices in England were
below American offers. and that Eng
land was offering wheat to Germany
on credit. The market sagged at the
end when longs started to liquidate and
the close was at the low point of the
day.
Corn was unaffected by the wheat
situation. Numerous field reports said
that corn needed rain and with no gem
,eral precipitation in sight. this condi-
tion was a considerable factor. Oats
Followed corn closely and had as
further stimulus reports of good sea-
board inquiry
Provisions were higher early on the
bulge in the hog market and the
strength in corn. When the advance
became pronounced, however, there was
fair selling by commission houses and
the finish was well within best figures
of the day,

fight for better agricultural conditions
and methods in spite of the serious
losses suffered because of the drought.
He called attention TO the successful
work which has been done in combating
the gypsy moth. tuberculosis in cattle
and other menaces to farm products.
Secretary Wallace said that the
farmers are passing through the most
trying period they have known in years
and that cheaper railroad transportation
for farm products is necessary. The
Department of Agriculture, he said. is
trying to place farming on business
basis. He added that the average farmer
is not buying more than is absolutely
because his buying power has
been diminished.

CARGO THEFTS GAIN,
RISK RATES GO UP
Congressional Probe Now Un-
der Way Follows Plan Of One
Started in Britain.

A Congressional committee which has
taken up an investigation into systema-
tized thieving as conducted on board
ocean freight steamships has been in
formed that the practice has grown to
such proportions that insurance COM
panies have been compelled to make
substantial increases in their rates on
cargoes consigned to certain parts of the
world. The Investigation being made In
this country follows the plan OF one
recently made in England, which has
resulted in important reformatory meas
ures.
The custom of looting ocean freights
Is due to a general let down In sea dis
cipline during and after the war when
seaman were scarce and exacting, and
many cases have been reported of boxes
and barrels opened skltully in the holds
OF ships and refastened so we'll as to
make It clear that expert and organized
thlevery was at work. Many thefts
have occurred also on piers and In ware
houses.
Although American and British ports
have reported serious losses, Australia
seems TO be the happy hunting ground
OF marine thieves. At Sydney and Mel
bourne the trade unions object to the
presence OF guards on piers and pitched
lights between cargo handlers and pier
police have been frequent. Some South
American ports offer easy pickings to
piiferers At one city a case OF gold
watches shipped by an American COM
pany was opened and emptied. Shortly
afterward most Of the custom officers
and police OF the place were carrying
new watches and a number OF others
we're placed on sale at the local jewelry
stores.

CITY DEMURRER LOST.
Subway Contractors Sued for Ex-
ira Compensation.

AS a result OF reargument in the suit
brought in the United States District
Court by the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins
Corporation of So Vanderbilt avenue
against the city for additional compen-
saton because of increased war costs
for subway work done. Judge Augustus
n. Hand affirmed yesterday his orig
inal opinion and overruled the demur-
rer interposed by Corporation Counsel
O'Brien.
Judge Hand held that 'if the plain
tiff can establish an agreement to pay
the increased cost due to the existence
of state of war. and can prove at trial
that the agreement was founded on
substantial consideration, such in
creased cost will not be extra consider
alton or gift, and the plaintiff can
recover the amount under the terms Of

WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE?
BY Gertrude Burke, Schellbourne,
New.


with Apologies to Walt Mason
Last night the staid old o. was out
twelve hours late;
What Is the reason?-moonshine, or
Just being up to date?
Ae there troubles in the heavens Are
they hitting this worlds pace,
That the sun has all those black spots
upon his clean old face?
Perhaps that great big dipper Is over
flowing with home brew,
And the Seven Sisters have turned
merry maidens. too.
The old King, with his helmet, may
have slain the Big Bear,
Or Venus, the Queen of Evening, been
bobbing up her hair.
Is Mars taking out a census? Are they
printing their annals?
Are there strikes ~a-brewing along
those big canals?
There's Jupiter and Saturn and two
hundred thousand more
That would have to be accounted for
to figure up the score
It's IN awful thing to contemplate.
