1T tie CHANGE
SHOWN IN CORN,
WHEAT PRICES
lBy consslidated Press

Chicago, July 15.-It was . de-
cidedly uninteresting week end
market In wheat Even prices failed
to show any change to speak of.
A little support was given the mar
ket at the start because OF the
higher cables, the more serious de-
velopments in the rail strike and
black rust reports from North Da-
kota. The locals were not inclined
to do much trading and pressure
from hedgers while not large was
Of sufficient volue to check any up
turn. The milling demand for cash
wheat was fair and Kansas City
reported some wheat worked for
export via the Gulf at 1c better
price than yesterday. Country Of
feringgs to arrive were of q fair
volume. Sales of 1000 bushels Of
wheat were made to go to store.
Market rallied toward the last on
short covering. The change was IN
changed to hc higher, July Sl.15%
September $1.14@114A, December
$1.16A @1.161s.
Corn prices moved within a mar
row range. There was a little scat
tered buying in evidence and week
end profitfi taking by long supplied
buyers. Crop is still in excellent
condition but dryness is complain
ed of in parts of Minnesota and
South Dakota. Demand for cash
was not so good as of late while
offerings to arrive were maderate
although there was much corn Of
fered at nc above the present mar
ket. Corn closed unchanged to &c
lower; July 62Ac: September, 647s
@65c; December, 631sc.
Oats held steady. There was little
pressure on the market. Commits
sion houses bought September and

New York. July 15.-The dry
goods market wound up a rather
dull week with inactive trading and
little change in prices for the great

were maintained and the amount of
goods in second-hands appears to
have been diminished. There were
indications, however, of better vol
ume of business in the standard
print cloths and sheetings next

circulation. Sheetings were in

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, July 15.-Possibilities of
transportation of wheat being cur
tailed as result of strikes have
been effective in bringing about up
turns this week in the value Of
wheat. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning showed gains
ranging from half cent to 15sc a
bushel, corn was down half a cent
to 2k OPS, oats off IN to 11sc and
provisions at Is to Csc decline.
Reports. that rural loading OF
wheat had been checked by coal
shortage and by other consequences
of labor unrest were quickly ex-
plotted by bullish traders in the
wheat market and were soon seen
to act as more than a counterbal
ance for the opposing influence Of
German financial conditions. Some
railroad embargoes an shipments
Of livestock and perishable COM
mcdities gave special point to talk
about likelihood of contracts for
wheat deliverable here becoming
perhaps difficult to fill. The gov
eminent crop report and wet
weather hinderance to threshing
put bears at further disadvan-
tage.
Supposed indications at one time
that settlement Of the railroad
strike was near had an immediate
but transient reflection in q de-
cline of wheat values. On the other
hand, temporary renewal of disquiet
about black rust led to price up
TURKS which, however, failed to hold
well, notwithstanding they were ac-
companied by considerable export
! business and by signs of enlarged
/ demand from domestic willers.
Corn and oats were weakened in
price as a. consequence chiefly OF
the breaking of prolonged drouth
| in northern Illinois.
Big deliveries of lard here and
reports that Germans were trying
, to cancel purchases tended to de-
press the provision market.

The air was fall of southern accent
on Saturday evening when the $50

Their brief stay in Cody was full of
thrills for the visitors who enjoyed
the bucking put IN for them in the

en- by Joe Mathison, Garlic Downing
and Lou Erickson in the new pavilion.
They stated that they had found all
western towns hospitable but Cody
had them all skinned for pep" and

They expressed themselves as re-
luctant to leave so soon and many de-
clared their intention of returning
next uIDmer for a longer stay.
