10 DOWNWARD RANGE OF 2Mc IN SEPT. WHEAT The Market Opened Higher at 66c, but Broke to 63 3-4 C, and Was Without Support. SOUTH DAKOTA DAMAGE LIGHT Some Relief From the Hot Spell- Corn Weather—General ... : . New*. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, July 15. —Wheat had another up and down turn much the same as on Saturday, the market open ing higher but going to pieces*on the first heavy offering. September started In this morning nearly l%c higher at 66c, and then made a straight drop to 64% c. Here -it held a while, but dipped again later, selling to 64@64%c. Over Sunday there was practically no rain in the corn belt. The high temperatures ex tended northward into South Dakota, the •weather report showing a maximum of 102 degrees touched at Huron. Late last night and early this morning some slight relief ■was felt, with a sprinkle of rain. ■ Huron had a trace, and .14 at Winnipeg was the heaviest noted in the first report. The early business was of a mixed character and after the break the markets showed a nervous and Quickly responsive tendency, but hesitation ruled the trading. It was expected South Da kota would have some bad reports to send out, but nothing worth noting came at first, and the fact that there were scarcely any country buying orders In the pit made it look as If there had been no material harm done. Later on, some news of Injury to ■wheat began coming, but up to noon it was difficult to determine how extensive the dam age had been, or whether this South Da kota hot weather was to help the market or not. For one thing the wheat in South Da kota is very well matured for this date and in places is ready for the harvester, which ■was a point of consideration in speculating as to the probable effect of the hot spell. Before noon it was reported cooler generally and indicating rain. Redfield had a fair shower and Williston, Minn., reported a ma terial drop in the temperature. Liverpool was off %d at the opening, but on second cables came %@%d higher. World's shipments were 7,064,000 bushels for the week, against 7,288,000 bushels last •week, and 5,470,000 bushels a year ago. America shipped 5,016,000 bushels, Russia 840, --000 bushels and the Danube 136,000 bushels. India shipped 248,000 bushels and Australia j 440,000 bushels. Wheat on passage decreased 2,072,000 bushels. Liverpool stocks are lighter by 72,000 bushels. t Primary receipts were 1,370,000 bushels, against 952.000 busheU last year, and ship ments 584,000, against 490,000 bushels. Kan sas City had 500 cars, against 701 last year, and St. Louis 372,000 bushels, against 246,000 bushels. Wheat and flour clearances showed 796,000 bushels, corn 208,000 bushels. Minne apolis received 449 cars and Duluth 25, against 253 and 34 last year. The visible sup ply made a decrease of 1,709,000 bushels, •which makes the total now 27,959,000 bushels. The corn market was weaker towards the close and wheat showed further weakness in sympathy. September sold to 63% c foi» low and December to 65% c. At the close there was little support and closing figures ■were near the low points, September at 63% c; December, 65%@65%c; July wheat, 63% c; Chicago closed September at 66%@66%c.

Millers report the flour market in satisfac tory shape, although the unsettled wheat market has effect to lessen demand on the ■whole. Foreigners continue bidding under the market and will not come in freely at the ! advance.

INVESTMENT GOSSIP New York to Watson: There is a general feverish sentiment this morning over the outcome of to-day's market. It looks as if weak accounts will be liquidated and this will place the market in good shape for bar gain hunters. New York to Lewie: Reported rain In southwe&t. Stocks have been thrown over this morning without regard to prices. I therefore think this morning will show about the lowest and good stocks can be safely bought now. ' AVOIDING FATALITIES.

I have lately been giving advice to my friends, and find it Days. The first one I toet was Typerly. He came up to me in the station. He is a successful novelist. "I've read your book, old man," I said, "and understand how you came to write it. A man must live. But it seems a pity that you couldn't have paid more at tention to the style and literary finish. After all, there's something else in the world besides money." Typerly gazed at me witheringly and passed on. My next friend was Pendragon, an ex pert accountant. "Let me give you a few pointers," I re marked, earnestly, "on the simple lawa of health. You are under weight. You look pale. You have undoubtedly some thing the matter with your lungs. You ought to give up work at once. Even now it may be too late." Pendragon murmured something Inaud ible and hurried into the smoking car. No. 3 was Smith. Smith wats the father of a three-weeks-old baby. Here was a golden chance "Nothing could be more fortunate," I remarked, "than that we should be oc cupying the same seat Now about that baby. Does he cry much at night? How is his digestion? Have you examined his heart with a stethoscope? If not, do so, and don't rely on the doctor. It is better to know the worst at once. Have you read Whimper on 'Children's Dis eases'? Get it at once. Do you know what rickets are? They are caused by a lack of nutrition. You are a father, and it is your duty to study every biological, anthropomorphical, dietic, hygienic, lac teal, phychologlcal and physiological as pect of your offspring." Smith murmured something about a business engagement and went away abruptly. The next on my list was Gullton, a man of piety. "I understand," I said with a cynical smile, "that you attend church regularly. Of course, sir, blind faith is a common human attribute, but as an intelligent in quirer have you investigated the claims of orthodoxy? Have you read Briggs on the scriptures? Are you familiar with the process of natural selection and that biogenesis effectually answers the prob lem as to the nature of the so-called soul? Do you know that the doctrine of the sub jectivity of the senses, while not neces sarily antagonistic to teleology, utterly precludes the postulate of an orthodox God? It is your duty, my dear sir, to look these matters up." Gullton's voice shook with anger and his face turned all colors of the rainbow as he remarked, in paring, that he would hereafter be careful of his company. But these few examples serve to show my method. I advise every thoughtful, self-contained man, like myself to do the same. I might remark, in conclusion, that I live in a suburban town, one hour from the office, and like to spend the time on the train all alone by myself. A GENERAL SCARE. Shelbyville, Ind., Jeffersonian.
