In wheat as well as oats. Tempera
tures ran up to 90 and 92 In central
west and southwest yesterday and out
side some rain in northwest the Unit
ed States was dry. Forecast Is also
dry and hot for Tuesday and Wednes
day. Increased receipts or all grains
at primary points are a feature, but
should not prevent bulges. May corn
and oats shorts are in weak position,
The Argentine will not ship any corn
of consequence for several weeks and
July corn should ultimately sell well
Into the seventies.
Government announcement of 450,'
000.000 wheat fed on farms Indicates
the smallest corn reserves on farms
since 1901. We advise the purchase of
Sentember oats and July corn. We
expect wheat to be a sale after the ad
van co and to be fiuctuatory. hut we
do not think a break of dimensions Is
i du right now. We are now receiving
thn Carothers weather forecast and
for this week and next week we can
not make out any large rains Indicated.
Chicago requires a run of corn, as her
supplies otherwise will he nothing by
June 6.
Ribs are a dip purchase, but lard Is
still the weak spot. We believe oats
are cheap and will be heavily bought
on all breaks, even should rains re
sult. Our morning reports show rains
required in all sections of Illinois and
large sections of Indiana. Indiana and
Illinois reports show that good rains
have not fallen at hundreds of points
for 10 to 20 days. Top of ground Is
hard and rains are needed to soften the
crust for oats.
Reports on wheat from central west
are not so high as in last two weeks.
North llanchester, Ind.. sends speci
mens of good wheat. that Is heading
out. Fly reports show some extension.
but dry weather is now the factor.
Liverpool wheat again comes firm and

Morning Stock Letter.
New York, May 26. Stocks will con
tinue in a trading tone until something
of Importance occurs to stimulate
activity, be It favorable or otherwise.
The Mexican outlook 6eems improv
ed; elimination of Huerta is thought
near at hand. Europe will probably
take this favorably.
The rate decision may come any
time after next Monday, when a meet
ing of full board of interstate com
merce commission is expected. The
public feels confident of an increase.
There is perhaps no need of reitera
tion of this. The shorts will become
nervous as we get nearer the decision
from looks of things. Buy only on
drives for moderate turns, say 1 1-2
or 2 points.
The Great Rain Call.
Chicago. May 26. Main factors at
opening of present week are continua
tion of "dry" In 60 per cent of the
grain belts and a tendency on part of
wheat investors to cross into oats.
Oats are at cheap levels. The June
condition does not promise over 85
per cent. Grain dealers .everywhere
are inquiring why oats should sell 28
cents below corn when the old oats
crop is nearing a full consumption
Wheat is apparently a sale and in
MUNICIPAL MATTERS
a few days will enter its easy early
Daily United States Weather Map
June trend yet wheat does not de
cline seriously In late May or early
June, particularly when at low levels.
In a few days the crop Sherlocks
will whirl through our northwest and
Canada. Our winter crop may be near
ly made by June 10. but in Russia,
Canada and our northwest there are
billion bushels of wheat that will
not be safe until late July or early
August.
Our reports show an extension of
wheat complaints in the central west
Heavy selling of wheat last week has
failed to uncover a spirit of imitation.
An oversold wheat market at this per
iod of the year is an "unkind thing."
We believe wheat will be depressed
with difficulty and prefer to await
June news. July wheat, corn and oats
promise advances. Rains of past 6
days cover sections of Kansas. Ne
braska, Missouri, Iowa and Michigan.
The great rain call right now is from
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio ar.d about 10
smaller states. Another few days of
dry and the wheat world will cancel
its bearishness until late June.
We direct the attention of the in
vestor to September oats. The provi
sion kings believe the spread between
ribs and lard may increase. The
month of May is evidently destined to
be a failure as regards a business re
vival.
Outside the move towards peace In
Mexico and a gain in rail rates, busi-
nes news is somewhat heavy. Each
railroad investigation excels the for-
m-r one from a predatory point of
view.
The corn bear waves a fairy wand
over the corn belt, but in all likeli
hood only a reluctant and moderate
June corn run will emerge.

participated in recent suffraget raids
in the West End were sentenced at the

One frail girl convicted of window
breaking was so weak from hunger
she had to be carried into court by
women wardens. She collapsed and
it was necessary to give her restora

several valuable paintings, harangued
the jury.
