GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, July 3. Grain markets again tight on rise In hogs to $22.20 and advance of one to three cents in some grades of cash corn. The break Is due merely on nerves but there are no bears. Hog price and small corn crop guesses appear to have amputated the enthusiasm of the seller. Crop news has Improved and oats crop is holding up well despite claims to the contrary. Forecast Is for cooler with Bhowers. New wheat movement will be slow due to dampness. No. 2 mixed corn. $1.84 to $1.86; No. 2 yellow $1.87. Government report due July 9th at 1:15 p. m. Chicago time. Technically both corn and oats buyers seem to be anxious to take advantage of dips.

The Commercial Bulletin Saturday will say: The demand for wool has kept up steadily and prices are fully firm as a week ago, with the tendency still upward. Demand is still strongest for the finer wools, but more interest seems to be shown in the medium wool. "London has fully recovered its slump and all of the foreign primary markets are firm. The goods market is sold way ahead and still the demand continues with manufacturers reluctant to sell much further ahead in view of the uncertainty in the future. GUARANTEE OF (Continued from Page One) will not enter into force until the mo-! ment when the latter is ratified. "Article HI. The present treaty must be submitted to the council of the society of nations and must be recognized by the council, deciding if occasion arise by majority as an engagement in conformity with the covenant of the society. It will remain in force until, upon demand of one of the parties to the treaty, the council, deciding if occasion arise by a majority finds that the society itself assures sufficient protection. Senate Vote Required. "Article IV The present treaty shall before ratification be submitted to the chambers of the French parliament for approval and it shall be submitted to the Senate of the United States of America at the same time as the treaty of Versailles shall be submitted for assent to ratification. Ratifications shall be exchanged at the time of deposit in Paris of the ratifications of the treaty of Versailles or as soon afterwards as possible." Then follow the signators of M. Clemenceau, M. Pinchon, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing. The agreement between Great Brittin and France corresponds with that between the United. .States and France with an additional provision that the treaty imposes no obligation upon any of the dominions of the British empire unless and until it be approved by the parliament of each dominion interested. This agreement is signed by M. Clemenceau, M. Pinchon, David Lloyd George, British premier and A. J. Balfour, British Secretary of state for foreign affairs. PACT GIVES SATISFACTION . PARIS. July 3 The guarantee pact, as the Parisian press calls the treaty between the United States and France gives general satisfaction. All newspapers pointed out, however, that according to the text of the Instrument America goes further than England does in the treaty between France and that country. By article I of the Americas-French treaty "the United States of America will be bound to come to the aid of France Immediately" It is pointed out while article I, of . the AngloFrench agreement only says: "England consents to come," etc. - Montreal, Canada, journalists have formed an organization and affiliated with the International.
