CHICAGO, July 29.-Holders OF
share accounts in savings, building
and loan associations made down
payments of $4,000, 900 during the
first six months of 1899 on homes
they were building or buying. the
United States Building & Loan
League reported today.
This outflow plus sos 500, 900 paid
out in dividends and the money
needed for emergency and other
purposes made total of $3.50 900, =
600 used by shareholders between
January l and June 80, according
to Morton Bodf1sh, executive vice
president Of the league
The $4,000 900 provided for down
payments, Bodhsh said, was estl-
mated to have made possible the
acquisition of 100000 900 worth Of
homes during the last six months.
The total outflow from the thrift
and home financing institutions the
first six months of this year was
larger than for the like 1888 period,
Bodfish said.
This" he added, ''is partially due
to the fact that there are more total
assets in associations now than
there were last year. Home
building is considerably improved
over its status of last year and more
people have wanted to use their ac-
cumulated savings to start building
and buying homes"

BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The grain
market resumed its recovery stride
today, wheat gaining more than a
cent a bushel and extending the
advance from Mondays 1899 low
point to 4 or cents.
The weather map showed the
North American spring wheat belt

temperatures and the aggravated
dry spell and traders expressed be-
lief further deterioration occurred
Consuming interests remained in the
market for supplies and buying Of
futures in connection with wheat
and -four sales continued to
strengthen prices.
Other grains advanced with
wheat, closing prices in all pits
being at or near the days highs.
Wheat finished ss-1% higher than
yesterday. September, 65a De-

oats, A-1a higher; rye, 1a-7s up and

Forecast of cooler weather and
possibly showers in the Northwest
caused selling which eliminated
wheat price gains at times. A y

due partly to selling of July con-
tracts in which trading will cease
after Monday, also was an unsettling
factor.
