GRAIN PRICES HOLD
FIRM DURING WEEK.
Fine Harvest Conditions Are
!, Offset by Black Rust.
Hogs ST Higher.
nv the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. July 7.-Exccllent har-
vest conditions for winter wheat and
Increasing nervousness in regard to
black rust damage to spring wheat
have virtually offset each other as
price factors this week. In conse-
Quence wheat values this morning
compared with week ago showed
no decided change, varying from ~
cent decline to 81 cent advance, with
corn ranging from Is off to IL up;
oats. IL to Ia down, and provisions,
at Is to 40a42 gain.
Aside from the opposed effects of
harvest progress and of black rust
danger, the wheat market showed by
the relative tirmness of prices for the
July delivery that the movement or
new wheat from first hands was be-
lated and was apparently Indicative
of unusual reluctance to sell on the
part of growers.
On the other hand, lack Of sustained
buying interest on the part of specu-
lators was plainly in evidence. and
export demand continued to be OF
only a hand-to-mouth character. In
fiuenced chiefly by prospects that the
winter wheat harvest In Kansas.
Missouri and Nebraska would be com.
pleted without delay. lowest prices or
the season were duplicated by the
September delivery.
Price rallies scored in the wheat
market, although largely due to fear
OBJ black rust danger, were also as
cribed more or less to the indirect
effect of bullish estimates regarding
corn acreage. According to authorl-
tative figures. the amount or land
seeded to corn this year as compared
with 1922 shows more than 1,OOo,0oo
acres reduction.
Favorable weather for the growth
of corn and oats put Decemoer corn
and September and December oats
down to the lowest prices yet this
season Feeding demand for corn.
however, continued TO keep the corn
supply here small and to lift the
Chicago price of July delivery.
Provisions responded to nearly 81
advance in the hog market and TO
more lively demand from Europe.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 7.-wnliam
jennings Bryan. dean of bourbons,''
today sounded what many political
leaders regard us the initial demo.
cratic battle cry for the 1924 ma
tional campaign.
Bryan, in an exclusive interview
with the United Press. declared that
unless the coming congress eliminates
them with a remedy, the Issues will
be.
The "deplorabie condition. OF farm.
ersi a tribunal to settle disputes he,
tween capital and labor, the federal
land bank (which has been captured
by Wall street. and proflteers ''who
are the chief obstacle to prosperity"
Besides these, there viii be matters
of law enforcement and legislation of
international scope, but our domes-
tic situation Is so acute II will be i'm
possible to ignore It, no matter how
perfect international demands be-
Bryan said.
The Commoner met many promi-
nent democrats and friends. upon his
return to Lincoln after nm extended
speaking tour of the country. He re.
fused to comment on possible demo.

that he has not expressed n opinion
as to their relative merits, and will
not until he knows what they stand
for.
I'm speaking Of issues, 1t is neces
sary to bear in mind hat the coming
session of congress Is likely to deter
mine issues in the next campaign
Bryan said. Anything said at thi.
time is like price quotations which arr
subject to a change. Certain issue.
are probable. however. They are:
First. communicable farmer is Fl
a deplorable condition. He is selline
on a pre-war level and buying on a
level fully so per cent higher thar
the pre-war level. This means that
the farmers cannot buy two-thirds as
much now as before and eventually
must do without things they need or
go bankrupt. Something must be
one to raise the farmers prices or to
lower prices of things he buys.
"Second-Some tribunal must be
established for the investigation of
disputes between capital and labor
before they reach the stage of strikes
and lockouts. These two elements are
drifting apart n must be brought
'ack together so they can cooperate
in a spirit of brotherhood,
'Third. the federal bank which was
instituted TO benefit the people has
been captured by Wall street. 1t must
be brought out of the hands of Wall
street and made over again-as an
agency for the protection Of the pub
lie.
Fourth. the profiteer is the chief
obstacle to prosperity and nothing
is being done to curb him. All lines
Of industry hat car combine and
are combining and organizing-leav-
ing the masses the victims OF all
these combinations. The e~xplolters
were never more fully in control OF
the country than now and that con
troll is sufficient to prevent the
ame,ioration necessary.
"No one. of course, can tell how
the Importance of these issues will
be increased or diminished by the &C
ton of the coming congress. II the
democrats and progressives-who to-
gether control both houses. VIII act
