Associated Press StatiSticiall.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Widespread
drought and high temperatures con-
tinued to dominate the Nations COM
modify martS during the week, ac-
companied by soaring prices of the
affected staples.
The Associated Press weighted index
of 35 commodities advanced to 74.65
from 1915 last week and compares
with 7217 a year ago.
The intensity of the drought that
has spread like blight over most of
the country's best farm land is indi-
Gated by comparison with the dis
aStrous 1884 scourge. The percentage

May and June in the critical States
for both 1884 and 1886 finds North
and South Dakota, Minnesota, Mis-

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Montana

that very dry period.
j. B. Kinser, head of the Weather
Bureau. recently stated, THE urgent
need for rain is more widespread this
year than either 1880 or 1884"
1884 Record Recalled.
Avoidance of a major catastrophe
this year is dependent on plenty Of
rain during the next two months.
Commodity circles recall, however,
that July and August were the dryest
months in 1884 and wrought the
greatest damage to crops.
Wheat quotations swept above a
dollar for the first time in many
months, pacing the agricultural index

consumption of 650000,0O0 bushels.
The Dakotas, growing about helf of
the Spring wheat, deteriorated notably
during the week.
All grain prices ran up on the rain
shortage. Rye and corn turned in the
best market performances, with oats
following closely The jump in corn

Cotton nudged ahead slightly with
the Government said to be virtually

The drop in the livestock index,
the only decline, was the result of
an II per cent setback in the lamb
price, as hogs moved up fractionally.
The weakness in lambs followed
rumors of large run this year.
Wholesale Foods Higher.

commodities climbed Rubber, steel

coal and burlap slipped back.
To the tune of a booming cotton
textile industry, sharply expanded de-
mand for finished goods put cotton up
a notch. Wool and silk, however,
yielded to a minor selling furry.
Tin continued to recover from the
depths it sank to shortly after the
international agreement raised the

In the prices of food and other COM
modities, John S. Bennett, mission
superintendent, expects to be able to
provide 1900 additional free meals
with no increase in the budget.
The additional free meals, he pointed
out, will be possible due to greater
production on the farm. The farm
is worked by men who go to the

of his musical picture was heightened

accents, by a well-balanced play of
light and shade and distinct but t1ex-

The orchestra caught his spirit i'm

Mr.. Vanderbilt.

After Mr.. Vanderbilt opened with
one diamond, West passed his doubt
full overcall and North, having no bet
ter bid, raised to two diamonds. East
then called two hearts and Mr.. VAN
derbilt, visualizing slam possibilities,
made the cue bid of three hearts.
When West raised to four hearts and
North and East both passed, Mr..
Vanderbilt not only saw that he had
no chance of making a slam, but
quite possibly could not make five
diamonds. With the expected heart
opening he had nine sure tricks, and
as he held, in addition, the king Of
spades, it seemed to him quite likely
that he could make four no-trump,
which he proceeded to bid West
with three sure tricks, promptly
doubled, and that became the final
contract, although we believe that
East, with his defenseless hand, should
have rescued at five hearts.
Mr. Vanderbilt won the opening
heart lead and Immediately led small
spade to dummys queen. When the
queen held, he spread his hand, claim
ing four no-trump. While a glance
will serve to show that Mr.. Wander
bilt could not have made five dia-
monds, it is also interesting to note
that had East rescued at five hearts
he would have been set but one trick.
