But the Weather Is Uncertain and Black Rust May Yet Develop. ,/oreign Situation More Favorable Gossip of the Grain Trade. Wheat needs a shave to take the red rust off. Minneapolis Ch&xriber of Commerce. July 14. Cooler weather, present and In the prediction, was the only saving thing for the bears In wheat who had to face a stronger week-end situation relative to the crops. The rain of today was sot reassuring. The weather Is of the kind to produce black rust, except that it has scarce ly been not enough. Bain is predicted for to night and Sunday. The time is close at hand when rust damage will occur it there is to b any. Should hot weather follow the rain there might be a scare in short order. The thins may come any day. As has been said before, there Is red rust, and everyone knows It, and black rust of the killing kind may be In the wheat even now. But it is still possible to say that there is none, for not a single authen tic case has been found to this time. Every re port that came in on change here has been fol lowed up, also many private reports that camo to hand, but were not current on change and had no market Influence. In eleven particular cases the news came that black rust was in the wheat. Every case was followed up. Some were the result of scares and nervousness, and In come cases the wish evidently fathered the thought. Others came from reliable sources to most reliable houses. McCaull had samples from around Tyndall, in Bon Homme county. South Dakota. Upon examination a rust scare was found here and there. Nothing appeared that would warrant alarm and in the observation of the writer nothing more serious than might be found In almost any season and that would probably not occasion anxiety now but for the great rust damage year still fresh in memory. The worst wheat seen so far came In to Poeh ler. This was rust infected, and in consequence of discolored leaves and other things had such an appearance that upon superficl.il observation one might have concluded that the wheat was a bad way. Careful examination, however, failed to show the condition so well remembered when the wheat was killed before. It could Lot be pronounced blnek tust Men in Poehler's office of many ears' experience were not mor al? certain, and were not prepared to pass judg ment on it Yet anjone could see that it was off and could easily understanu that the farmer who had it might be badly scared. The situation then is uncertain as the week closes. Hot weather on Monday, under present conditions would without doubt bring in rust reports. It would be foolish to ignore the possi bilities. Under certain weather conditions which maj come red rust would undoubtedly spread and black rust develop, and the edge would be off the great promise, but to this writing indi cations are In favoc of the crop, for there has been no single case of black rust proved SS. and the prediction ta foT coo?wSer S f^eaty days of'the uertaVnerus kindle $- 1 2 Just ahead of the grain trade.

A late report today to The Journal from Fargo says: "The wheat plant was so tender because ox the great amount of moisture that the extreme heat has caused the grain on the lowlands and sinkholes to scald and turn yel low, but the loss Is not regarded seriously be cause little crop was anticipated fDM*-that sec tion. The farmers fear that long-dj^Bfued heat may, however, affect the delIeatP"JJlant, and are glad to see a few light showers. "The dry weather had the tendency to relieve the farmers of the rust scare, and, while there is consld erable evidence of red rust In many portions of the state, It Is not causing any particular alarm, and will not unless there should be a lot of hot, murky weather." THE FLOUR MARKET BETTERMENT IK TRADE, BUT BIG BITTERS STILL BEARISH. The week closes with the market in Improved condition and sales larger. As wheat turned up after the steady decline a good many or ders came In, and there is more business on the books today than a week ago', yet millers were unable to Btlr up the big business. Buy ers who take round lots either bought noth ing at all or continued their hand-to-mouth policy. The permanent turn for the better has not apparently been made. There are a majority of buyers and consumers of flour who Seflnltely re bearish in price and will hold off in for reductions or until something new develops to bring them in.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET OPENS WEAK, BUT HAKES AN EARLY ADVANCE. Chicago, July 14.The wheat market opened fairly steady today, but at the end of the first half-hour became strong on good buying by shorts. The weakness at the opening was caused by reports of continued rain in Russia, which is said to be delaying the harvest. The strength later came from an estimate of smaller world's shipments on Monday September opened a shade lower at 78%c, de clined to 78%c, and then advanced to 78%c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 623 cars, agrinst 244 cars last week and 17C cars on year ago. The high point for September was 78%@78%c.
