year average, according to the
monthly crop report by c. D. Pal
mer of the bureau of agricultural
statistics of the Purdue university

the U. S. Department of Agriculture
The crop was planted late and
stands are uneven, and the esti-
mated acreage of 4268, 900 is 8 per
cent below that of 1882.
Prospects now are for a produc-
ton of 123,772,O0O bushels against

BY HAROLD E. RAINYILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO. July 13-Wheat and
rye set further new highs for the
year as the Board of Trade opened
today, rye advancing "a to 2}s
cents in a buoyant trade Wheat was
. TO is cents higher with May at
Sll52s at the peak while December
rye sold at S107i7.
The weather and firmness in
stocks and sterling gave wheat i'm
petus for the upturn despite profit
taking selling. Other grains made
fair advances, corn being unevenly
Is cent lower to Is cent higher, and
oats Is to Is cent higher. Provisions
were steady.
The big activity in rye has given
wheat strength so far this week. The
dollar again declined today, which
was partly responsible for the sharp
l to Is cents advance at Liverpool
by midday Kansas had quite
heavy rains last night, Wellington
reported seven inches. The Amer
lean and Canadian northwest. how
ever, are warm and urgently in need
of rain
Farmers of Iowa, Indiana and
Illinois are taking advantage of the
rises in corn to sell heavily. par
ticularly Iowa. Bookings of $4,000
bushels Wednesday swelled the total
for the week to nearly 100000. The
belt is clear and hot.
Oats traders are taking profits
but there remains sufficient buying
to sustain levels so long as the other
grains remain firm. Rye has adj
vanced approximately 25 cents so
for this week.

Held Annual Meeting in Party Headquarters
 Last Night

With but one exception all the members of the democratic town committee were renamed for an- other two-year term at the meet ing of the town convention dele gates last night at party head quarters on East Main street. In the second district change was made, Thomas Thompson being chosen to succeed Daniel Sullivan.

 The officers of the committee will be chosen at a meeting next month. The present officers are expected to be reflected. They in- clude: Chairman, John H.

BRITISH GIRL
 WON 5 TITLES
Joan Ridley Compiled En= viable Sports Record
 in Past Year

Philadelphia (UP).-Joan Rid ley, of Britain, had the best rec ord of women contestants of the Middle States district tennis com petition during 1888.
 Miss Ridley and two other out standing tournament winners Mrs Harrison Smith, of the Meri- on Cricket club, and Laura Pit tenger, of Germantown, Pa.,- have annexed five championships each.
 The British star. however, leads the list by her victory in the im- portant Middle States tournament, when she won the singles and, teamed with Alice Francis, of Orange, N. J., carried off the dou- bles diadem.
 One week later, she visited the Germantown Cricket club and an- nexed the Philadelphia and Dis trict singles and doubles with Anne Page, of Merton, Pa.
 Her next conquest was the Eagles Mere singles title in tourna- ment play in the Middle States District.
