There wa nut .much doing; in the local wheat market yesterday, owing to the scarc ity of offerings. Bluest em waa quoted nomi nally at 3293 cents, but it was not likely that much could, be bought under 93 cents and it is probable that anyone In need of wheat would be willing: to pay that figure. OaUp and barley were firm, but quiet, as only a little stock was available. The hay market holds steady under & good demand and light receipts. Prlcea in the coming- Fall and Winter are expected to be lower than those of last season.

A big - crop of grain hay and an ordinary crop of timothy is promised in the North west. It. P. Knight, who has returned from an Inspection trip through the Kastern Oregon md Eastern Washington wheat sections, re ports that in Umatilla. Morrow, Gilliam and Sherman, counties the conditions are very irood. The Big Bend country and Asotin County have been hit harder than any other part of the Northwest. In the Palouse coun try the Spring wheat is poor, but the Fall wheat looks fairly good, while in Camas Prairie and Ne Perce the "Fall crop is good and although the Spring crop is not assured, it stands a good chance of being saved.

MARKET RALLIES AT CLOSE Copper Dividend, Xot Announced Tntil After the Session Time Money Is Growing Easier. Foreign Exchange Firm. NEW. YORK. July 21. Until the reduc tion in the dividend on. National Lead was announced, the stock market today was a humdrum affair. The news of this action created some speculative excitement and Its Influence was reinforced by the -wholly un supported state of the stock In the market. Sales of 100-share lots could be effected only at rapid concessions of 1 to 1 points be tween sales. Closing last night at 69 H. the stock sold as low as 52. The simple ex planation offered for the reduced dividend was that business and earnings did not war rant the maintenance of the higher rate. The concrete example thus offered 'of the consequences of lessened trade activity to profits of business had a sharply depressive effect on speculative sentiment. The Amal gamated Copper dividend was not announced until after the close, but prices showed some recovery. The action of the wheat and cotton markets revived uneasiness over the crop prospects and the effect of the later easing of the wheat market was lost in the general weakness of stocks. Time money here is growing easier and the foreign exchange market was firm. Bonds irregular. Total sales, par value. $1,009,000. United States bonds unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

ST1PE0EJ. CORN Transactions .' Reach Huge Proportions in Chicago Pit. DROUTH CAUSES THE SCARE Wheat. After k Sharp Break on Heavy Selling, Is Sympathetic ally Affected by the Bulge in the Coarse Cereal. CHICAGO, July 21. Corn led the entire speculative trade on change here today. Transactions In that cereal reached huge proportions. Excitement, because of fear that dry weather might ruin the growing grain, was the sole cause. The scare re sulted In a net advance of lc to 2-2c a bushel in the price of the yellow ' kernels and apparently saved wheat from a sharp decline. Closing prices for the latter were c higher to c lower. Oats finished with gains of 2'c to c. provisions finished unchanged to 12c up Short sellers of every "sort were forced to cover because of the stampede in the corn market. Among the- shorts were manv large speculators here and East and many houses with country connections. Reports were numerous as to damage In prospect west of the Mississippi. Details of actual Injury to the crops were most plentiful from the Southwest-. One dispatch from Iowa assert ed that much stock was being sold In that state, because there was no probability of getting feed for the animals. Rain. It was declared, was urgently, needed at once by fully" half the corn In Iowa. The situation In Nebraska was said to be equally critical. Chicago stockyards were good buyers .of feedstuffs all day. Excltementin the corn market marked the entire session. The September option ranged between 62c and 64 c. closing at 63 64c a net rise of lc to 2c. Wheat, after a sharp break on heavy sell ing, responded materially to the big bulge In corn. Higher prices in European centers sustained the bullish feeling for a brief period at the start, tout that influence and calamity reports from the Spring crop coun try Northwest lacked the charm of novelty. A dull, dragging tone developed, but re newed strength was imparted from the corn pit. September ranged from $1.60 r 1.06 to $1.08. closing at $1.07 to $1.0T. Oats took a little of the color which pre vailed in the corn trade. September varied -from 3939c to 39T40c and finished dic -up at 39c. Provisions had- an upward tendency: pork was 2.ic to 10c higher, lard 2c to 5 1 c and ribs unchanged to 12c op. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. ' Open. High. Low.
