the present state enforcement act

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

HICAGO, July 16.-Although
rains over part of the dry district in
Canada led to a weak opening OF the
wheat market today, prices soon made
swift new upturn. The chief reason
appeared to be that crop reports
from Canada were of a character
which indicated widespread irrepar-
able damage. In this connection a
leading expert sent dispatches from
Davidson, Saskatchewan, telling of
having seen thousands Of acres Of
wheat that will scarcely make the
seed and much that was burned al
most. bare, worthless to harvest Open

decline to y advance, September
1.20A to 1.21h and December 1.24 to
124A, were followed by a moderate
general sag and. then by a jump to
about III above yesterdays finish,
with trading again on big scale.
Corn and oats rallied with wheat.
Besides, offerings of nearby deliveries
of corn were notably scarce, and re-
newed emphasis was being put on the
extreme lateness of the new corn
crop despite considerable recent i'm
provement. After opening at l de-

HARDWARE TRADE GAINS.
July Business to Date Better Than

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. July 16.-Hardware
says:
observers in some sections of the
country entertain the opinion that IL
stronger undertone is becoming more
apparent throughout the hardware
market. The sale of staple hardware
and tools is fairly active, and prices
are holding firm. Seasonable goods
for the most part are somewhat slow.
Indications point to small advance
orders for fall and winter goods. but
1t is believed this will BE offset by
an active pick up demand.
collections are reported as some
what better, and there is said to be
more concrete feeling of confidence
on the part OF both buyers and sellers.
"Factories are reported to be work
ing on an. average Of FIVE days a
week, although few manufacturers
are ere ating any surplus. So far this
months business in most of the prin-
cipaI hardware centers has shown a
mark ed improvement over June"
