[Special to Tlie Times-Dispatch.] CHICAGO, July 17.?The. fact that there was re-sellinp of July and Sep tember wheat by some of the larger receivers caused a general selling movement to-<lay with a consequent decline Iti prices. July lost 2 1-S and the deferred months were off 7-S to 1. In addition good-sized hedges were put out against the new crop. With ini- j | proved weather in tlie Southwest, har i vesting is beiiiR pushed. I The new wheat received here to- j I day was in fair condition. The to i till receipts were seventy-three cars, j ; The cash trade was light, only 5.000 . bushels changing? hands. 'Phe sea | hoard reported scales of the new crop of 750,000 bushels. I The bearish feelinpr in wheat was re jected partly to-day when the selling 'became general. This indicates that j with a heavy movement of the new I crop, there will be much lower prices. unless the receipts .'ire well taken care i of. Some of the ensh handlers are advis ing farmers to stack their wheat. In the belief that there is a possibility of better prices later on. It Is said that stocks of wheat abroad are not so large as has been said, the amount held there having been exaggerated to keep down prices in this country. It is further said that Oreat Britain bought the larger part of tbe Canadian wheat crop, and that foreigners have bought more wheat in tbe United States than Is generally be lieved. Corn and oats were mainly lower, the former showing- a gain of 1-S for July, while the deferred months were 3-8 to 1-2 cent lower. Oats lost 1-4 to 3-4 cent. Cash sales were 150,000 bushels of corn anrl 130,000 bushels of oa ts. Professionals in provisions offered enough of the various products to sat isfy the demand, and the market ruled weak in the face of advances of 10 to 15 cents in the price of hogs at the yards. Packers supported ribs, but the tone was ea-.v at the declines. Curb Mudernteiy Active. NEW YORK, July 17.?Trading on the curb was moderately active to-dav, tbe tone of the market being generally firm. Electric Ttoat sold from 107 to 19S. a gain of 3 points over yesterday's ? ?lose.

July 17.?As a i summer visitor to the Patterson School, | In the bcautlfiil "Happy S'alley" of tho Yadkin River, an<l with no other in terest pave pood will, I desire to bear personal witness to the prepress of the school and make some observations. A splendid work is beinp done by Rev*. Hugh A. Debbin. the principal, and hisj able and faithful assistants. The farm.] with its broad and levr-l bottoms and J growing crops delightful to behold, Is being carefully and systematically cul-J tivated, and limitless possibilities are: bound up in this farm school, which is] offering such great advantages to the; poor mountain boys. The Patterson! School Is run on voluntary contrihu-l I tions by the charitably inclined who (desire to aid In the education of the! | mountain boys who are unable to cdu-l cate themselves. The farm at present j supplies the food for the boys. the | faculty, assistants and the stock on [ the farm. The present, capacity of the. school is thirty-five. With more equipment the accommodations could be very larpely increased. ! Bright, ambitious and deserving ; [mountain boys are knocking at the j doors of this school almost dally, ask-! line for admission and the chance to' obtain an education by workinp their I way through to useful men in society J and the church. Their cry should be! I heeded by the philanthropic churchmen and churchwomen from North Carolina | to California and from Maine to Mexico.; I Who will respond to the cry of these I mountain boys? When they are asking ! for educational bread, will you give! I them a stone? j j Seventeen fine, bripht. intelligent 1 I boys, from thirteen to twentv-three I years of ape. are working th?>ir wayj [through school on the farm this sum mer. and it would do the most callous heart pood to see with what a willing ness, determination and energy they en about their farm duties. 1 am her* with the boys; have heard their hopes and aspirations, and I know what I am talking about. It is an inspiration to see them and be with them. On this beautiful farm there is every incentive for cultivation of the love of the beau tiful. inculcation of industry and the. pathway to noble manhood. With edu cational instruction and the practical knowledge pained by work on the farm there is a moral training as pure and as sweet as relipion itself. The whole some atmosphere and environment here cannot he excelled. The. Patterson School needs more equipment, needs It badly, and needs it ripht away. The greatest need. Just at present, is an electric plant and a j work shop. One of the best water powers in the State is here ready to prasp and speed a dynamo and carry light to the buildings and turn the wheels of modern machinery in a work shop to make the schoc.1 more perfect. Hive thousand dollars is needed for this purpose and other equipments. ' Who will hear the cry of the little mountain boys who cannot enter now and respond? I will bo one of 100 churchmen or churchwornen to give $50 each to push the Patterson School that much further forward this >ear Will you. Interested reader, be one of the other ninety and nine to come into the fold of tlie happy ion?

K,ass. oats, wheat, rye aiid garden crops ate reported the best in ? ears. Corn Is not as far advanced is it should i>o. as th?* weather has . oeen too cool up until the reectit rains oegan, since which time sunshine has j oecn lacking.

STEEL ADVANCES SHARPLY Itennons Are t.lven II.v the Mrn Who Are Supposed to Knurr About It. | ?ne of the largest stool companies in ' the country has advanced the price of ; bars to 11.35 per 100 pounds. The L'nit ! ed States Steel Corporation and the j Cambria Steel Company have advanced tho price of bars from $1.25 per 100 pounds to $1.30, equal to $1 a ton. Other steel companies are expected to take similar action. Early in the year bar j prices were as low as $1 per 100 pounds, so that the present price represents an I advance of $6 a ton. Tho Iron Age. j commenting on iron and steel condl t tions of the. last week, says: "A further Increase in steel production has become | necessary to keep pace with the con tinued expansion of demand. July de velopments have gone so far to strengthen the situation that steel manufacturers now speak with assur ance concerning the remainder of the year. Following the announcement of an increase of 413.ono tons In the Steel Corporation's unfilled orders in June? a total that exceeded estimates In the trade?the corporation has started up four more blast furnaces and a consid erable number of open-hearth furnaces, and this week's worklnsr schedules rep resent 90 per cent of its ingot capacity. The resuming blast furnaces are at Cleveland. I.orain, South Chicago and Pittsburg. In addition, the Riverside plant at Wheeling, W.

FERTILIZER FOLKS MEET; i DISCUSS GREAT PROBLEMS People Who llolil lilt; llnnd With KnrmlnK lnlcrr*t AxHrnililo In Talk (l?cr .Mnttcrn. A correspondent. wrltinsr from Hot Springs, ji ml who has Ihimi there for :i week or more attending an annual meeting of the fertilizer follts, writes the Industrial Section somewhat as follows: The- optimistic spirit which has per vaded the meetings of the National Kert i lizer Association, held this we>d< at Hot Springs, is one of t }?o mani festations that the members of these associations will successfully face the many difllcilltles con fronting tiie fer tilizer industry at the present time. Not only have the meetings been unusually interesting and instructive, luii the entertainment features of the convention and the recreation facili ties offered by this ideal mountain re sort added materially to the pleasure and enjoyment of all present. (enthusiastic support given by the members is reflected in the large at tendance this year. Last >ear. the night before the opening session, eleven members were present. This year, a day before the convention opened. I rt*? were present, and up until Tuesday noon the attendance wis fai ahead, and the actual membership reg istered was within three of the total number on the last day of the 10! I meet incr. Sincp these associations met at Hot Springs last July the fertilizer indus try has been going through the most crucial period in its history. In fact, the consensus of opinion Is that th< real test is to come t liis fall and winter. If cotton sells at a low figure, the Southern fertilizer manufacturers and those with an extensive trade in this section will, it is the belief of those here, have a hard time of it. The amount of fertilizer used in the past year was greatly reduced. Take, for instance, the figures of some of the Southern States. Georgia used only .'ft per cent, or 710,sno tons, against 1,2.16.010 tons the year before; Ala bama, SOS,o tons in 1013-14 and only 303,300 in 1014-1.-,: Louisiana, 00.5SS tons last year and only 73,120 tons this year: Texas. 17,420, against 77,450 in 1013-14. South Carolina used about ".0 per cent this year. North Carolina about 75 per cent, Virginia about SO per cent, Mississippi about 45 per cent and Florida about 75 per cent. This great decrease was not wholly caused by a less demand for fertilizer. The farmers of the South have, in many in stances. purchased fertilizers to the limit of their credit. That is the rea son that some sav that the prosperity of the whole fertilizer Industry rests on whether the South will he able to sell its fall cotton crop at a profit. Mnn.v Addltlonnl Spindles.
