WHEAT CROP CUT
 HALF M CANADA
Sensational Advance Reported
 On Board Of Trade
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, July 14.-Predictions that the wheat crop this season in Canada would be less than half of the yield in 1923 had much to do with sensational advance of prices today on the Chicago board of trade. Maximum gains of five cents a Dushel were reg istered, with value shaded only a trifle at the finish
 Excitement among traders in the Chi cago wheat pit attained a high pitch after word was out that 50 per cent damage from the Canadian drought had been forecast by a recognized ex- pert on crop conditions. R. O. Crom- we'll, representing one of the largest grain houses here, made the statement. A dispatch from him dated at Saska- toon, in the heart of the Canadian wheat country said:
 Neither Winnipeg nor Chicago real izes the. situation in Canada. It is the worst in twenty years. Even feed grain is near failure here. Superin- tendents of grain departments of rail- roads and other such three provinces. This is in line with my ideas"

That can party; there were trust-busting by President Taft's administration and threats of radicalism by democratic leaders; and the Balkan war fore shadowed the world conflict Yet busi- ness improved during the entire year because a decline the previous year had created favorable economic condition that paved the way for an improvement which political events could not stem.
 In the last analysis. politics cannot be properly credited with the determina- tion of stock malseti trends. Periods of prosperity or depression which sway the trends of the market develop with regards to the logical trend of the busi- ness cycle and not with reference to presidential campaigns.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO, July 14-Wheat: Clear skies and high temperatures in the Canadian west are the impelling forces in wheat. The entire grain world, not ably importing countries, are impressed with the situation, there being consid- erable buying today which had the appearance of foreign account. In ad- dition to this, the Winnipeg market has shown greater strength than Chi cago, and the seaboard estimates ,eX- ports sales of wheat at one and one half to two million bushels. Winnipeg prices are now at the highest premium over Chicago on the crop, which Is highly significant of the probable trend of prices here, in as much as 1t makes United States new wheat from the southwest, arrived here today, grading No. hard dark, and selling at 10c over July.
 Coarse grains: Receipts of corn were again far below local requirements. As a result, the July and September de- livery have made material response to the very strong cash situation. The new-crop deliveries are inclined to be slow because of the favorable weather for the new crop and reports of i'm proved appearance.-John F. Clark & Co.,.
 CHICAGO, July 14.-Rapidly fading
 
 was again the influence back of sharp advances in prices, all deliveries making new highs for the season and foreign markets, as well as our own, recording material gains. Liverpool closed 2%d higher. Generally dry weather was re- ported over most of the Canadian prov inces. Canada cannot now safely count on more than BOG, 100000 bushels, com pared with 474000,000 for all Canada last year. Another bullish influence was a falling off of world exports to il ,564,0oo for the week, against Il, ,797, ,000 a year ago. Domestic primary move was of fair proportion. reflecting larger yield in the southwest.
 Corn: Although the cash corn mar ket was quoted somewhat easier, the July and September deliveries made further sharp advances. New-crop op- tions made slight advances, but were held in check by heavy selling on the upturn.
 Oatsi More active trade, with higher prices. May made new high for the season. Commission houses were good buyers, but the advance brought out ptofit-taking, which checked the ad- Vance.-Clement Curtis & Co. to J. F. Willingham &eCo.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, July 14.-The outstand- ing feature is that for several days the standard industrials have made no progress. The only progress made was by a number of specialties, and these carry no significance because they fre- Quently move independent of the gen. eral market and often move counter to the general list. We are not disposed to pass judgment in advance, nor to forecast a severe depression, such as would follow an undetermined election, but we do feel that from such facts as are before us at this time we are all warranted in taking a conservative posi- i tion, and therefore suggest the ad- visibility of marketing some of your holdings during the present period of | strength.-John F Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, July 14.-The morning session witnessed some new highs in specialties, while the general run of stocks maintained a very firm appear ance.

COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, July 14.-The advance in sterling caused a lower Liverpool than expected this morning, but further short covering made it's appearance In our market, carrying prices into new high levels. From the action of the market, it would appear that the ma jority of those who had sold on the favorable crop reports of July had pretty we'll covered their cotton. Advices from the Atlantic states continue un- favorable, but on the other hand ad- vices from Texas are good. That crop however, will need rain in the not dis tant future; in fact, a good rain would be most beneficial now. After the re- cent advance, some reaction would not be at all unexpected.

NEW ORLEANS, July 14.-Liverpool did not respond to our strength of Sat urday, was up, only 25 points, as against g points on July, and up only 2s points on October, while it was due 43 points up.
 Our market, however, was only about 10 lower on opening, as the weather if anything. became more intensified over Sunday, as the records show no relief west but sharp rise in tempera- lures. Government records show 21 stations Saturday in Texas reported temperatures of 100 to 10S degrees, and yesterday in same state shows 23 re- porting 100 to 106 degrees.
 No relief forecasted this morning from the high temperatures in Texas and thunder showers in the eastern belt. However, the rains have gone over into Alabama and Mississippi
 The government census report was issued this morning and was considered bullish on a whole, while the consump- tion this year was 35o,000 bales vs 542,- 900 bales last year; the stock in mills was only 951,000 bales vs. 1,345,o00 bales last year.
 The rise in corn and wheat is expected to bring increased buying power from the farmers of the west. Textile in- dustries are still sub-normal, but wide spread recovery. by autumn or earlier seems to be indicated by the above
