GRAIN PRICES CHICAGO, July 17. The week-end with a 19 day bear market in force. Crop news of all grains so good that country buying power Is low. The usual high temperature that stiffens the markets axe absent (there never was such a July). Bears predict larger July corn deliveries. Rust news shows moderate damage to date. One report shows over 1.100 thousand corn passedjaround on July deliveries. Support is present in provisions and Ijhorts have bought Smaller corn receipts guessed but the period of fancy Id corn prices is growing short. The aid time hysteria about supplying Europe with wheat Is in the scrap pile. Hedgers pressed wheat and exporters are seeking cheapest prices. Problem is from what little corner will the famous Monday bulge emerge. Problem Is will December corn sell at 1.30 next week? CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W.

SANBORN The farm federation meeting at Milton on Friday night resolved itself into a round table talk after E. F. Murphy, county agent, had spoken on various matters of interest in relation to his work, for and with the farmers. It became a free-for-all discussion in which most of the men present took part. Individual experiences in cropping, feeding, etc., were related. The air of the assemblage was of frienldy mutual interest. Fertilizers and Prices It developed during the evening that no federation orders had as yet been placed for fertilizer but would very likely be as soon as the bids and analysis were received next week. This matter will be one of the things before the meeting of federation directors at the office of the county agent on Saturday afternoon and on Monday cards will go out to various township secretaries, who will impart the information to the members. Mr. Murphy gave quite a talk on this subject and on the difference in soils. In a talk about phosphates he said that a western concern had a great surplus of sulphuric acid; that thev had discovered phosphate rock in the vicinity and were now putting out a 42 per cent acid phosphate preparation, as a by-product, and soon to come on the market. It developed during the meeting that TUr Murnhv had given six months to i ties, before becoming county aiseiu, ' and this work was discussed briefly. Piq Club Work A brief summary of what the members of the pig clubs were doing and of the benefit of such clubs to farm youngsters was given. There was a demand for some explanation as to the wool Pool and the wool market. Mr. Murphy stated that an Indianapolis dealer who early paid up to 55 cents for wool told him that he ex pected to "get out later with a profit." Andrew Kerber said he had 600 pounds of wool in the lot shipped from Greensnork. The meeting was interesting and the attendance fair, considering the busy haying season and other field work now crowding the farmers. Charles Hurst, township president, presided and H. W. Lindsay, secre tary, made a statement of membership, financial condition, and of the fact that the funds were now mostly tied up In the Milton bank. RAILROAD BALL TEAMS TO BATTLE AT FT.

Renewal of futures deliveries trading in wheat has attracted the lion's share of attention on change here this week. The ease with which ordinary business methods were resumed after nearly three years interruption due to world war entanglement was an outstanding feature of the event. Compared with first prices, wheat this morning had fallen 11c to 15c, while as compared with a week ago corn showed to 7c decline, and oats varied from 3 1-dc off to Vic advance. In provisions the difficulty for the week was a setback ranging from 72c to $2.25. Downward swings in the price of wheat were associated to a considerable extent with hedging sales by rural owners of the new crop. Heavy margins required as a precaution against wild dealings counted too apparently in some degree as a bearish influence by curtailing power to purchase. NEW YORK, July 17 The stock market this week yielded much of the ground gained in the preceding period reaction throughout the general list being attended by a lapse into the sluggishness which characterized June's operations. Trading in bonds was relatively larger and broader, however, a firm tone prevailing, especially in several of the newly issues, such as Swiss eights and Belgian 74s, in which the high interest returns seemed to attract more than a little investment demand. According to authoritative reports the backward industrial movement shows signs of extending from the textile and leather trades to other important lines of manufacture, notably automobiles and related specialties. Shares of many of these companies were most susceptible to pressure. Credits continued ' tense, although some loosening of funds was reported. PLAY CALLED AT 2:45 .

Pete Minner will start the game for the Eagles. Sillen will hurl for the Brews. Play will be called at 2:45 p. m. LEAVE FOR VACATION, FULL OF PEP; RETURN, DEJECTED Vacationists are supposed to leave Richmond with rather a dejected air and return full of pep, sunburn and vigor. But the crowds on the G. R. and I trains leaving for the summer playgrounds in northern Indiana and Michigan gainsay this. The vacationists leaving for tthe summer outing are full of pep and expectations. They have tennis racquets strapped on suitcases. Some carry golf bags. They return with a dejected air, the racquets and golf sticks are in the baggage room and the vacationists are so bored and sunburned that they take a taxi. COX WILL SPEAK AT MIAMI CHAUTAUQUA Governor Cox, of Ohio, presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket, probably will speak at the Miami Valley Chautauqua, held near Franklin, Ohio, from July 20 to August 15.

L. players were to be barred from commercial league games. The Pennsy agreed not to play Garthwaite again. Incidentally the Palls and Pennsy were the only commercial leaguers represented. Classes to train courting couples are suggested by the vicar of Mansfield, England.
MORAN SIGNS AGAIN;
FISHER BLOWS FIRST TO DODGERS, 6 TO 4 CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 17. Manager Pat Moran has been appointed manager for the Cincinnati Reds for another two years. His original contract was to have expired this fall. It is understood that a fat increase was contained in the new contract. Although Moran's chief concern is to win the present series from the Dodgers, he will begin to build for next year. Moran says this is no indication that he thinks the Reds will not cop the 1920 flag, but a measure to provide the team with needed reinforcement. The Reda have to win four games from the Dodgers In order to go into first place. Although the largest Friday crowd of the season, numbering about 8,000, was out for the game, the Reds lost the first copy to the Dodgers, 6 to 4. Fans were peeved as the Reds blew, a four run lead to the first placers in the fifth and sixth innings. Fisher Blows It. Fi3her pitched high class ball for four innings, wavered in the fifth and blew in the sixth. Walter Reuther was sent to his aid. Reuther walked a man in the eighth. Neale misjudged Wheat's liner and allowed it to go for three bases. A sacrifice fly fo'iowed and three runs were across. Hod Eller or Jimmy Ring will be entrusted with the task of winning Saturday's game. The score of Friday's bubble: CINCINNATI AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.

BABE COULD HIT ONE OUT OF REOLAND ON FLY; MAY DO STUNT CINCINNATI. O.. July 17. Babe Ruth, the Yankee home run king, no doubt will make the greatest home run record this year in the history of major league baseball. The Swat King, with a full circuit clout In the eleventh inning Thursday, beat the Browns and equalled his 1919 record of 29 In a season. He has 61 games remaining on the schedule in which to use his murderous bat for a record. This time last season ho had made only 11 of his 29 slams. Hits "Impossible" Drives. Ruth not only is hitting more home runs this year than ever before, but he Is hitting them farther. He has driven balls this season Into spots that, until he began his terrifio clouting, were believed beyond the reach of any hitter. The centerfield bleachers at the Polo grounds, New York, is one of them. Babe has planted one homer there and that is about equal to hitting a line drive against the centerfield fence at Redland field. Something no batter has done He has hit a number of balls that
would have carried into and possibly over the Redland field bleachers on the fly. No player has ever knocked a ball into the local sunfield stands except on the bounce, and only a few have ever been able to turn that trick. Hardest Hits Ever Known No longer do baseball fans and baseball players try to prove that Pop Anson, Ed Delahanty, Roger Connor, Dan Brouthers and other old-time duggers were the hardest hitters. Ruth's 1920 achievement stamps him as the hardest hitter baseball has ever known. Were it not for the frequency with which the American league pitchers are purposely giving him bases on balls this season (despite a change in the rules that was supposed to curb the intentional pass) he doubtless would have broken his own record of 29 homers 6ome time ago. As a rule he seldom is allowed more than two good swings at the ball in a game any more. In a recent game a pitcher threw him two strkes. Babe missed the first and hit the next one for a. homer. Thereafter he was pass ed on four straight wide ones every time he went to bat. New Paris Drops Out Of Suburban League; Action May Cause Shift of Nines Withdrawal of New Paris from the Suburban league has confronted President George Brehm with the problem of transferring the Miller-Kemper franchise to Eaton and taking 4a a Pennsy team in place of New Paris, nf oIca drnnnin? nnftthpr tpam. and finishing the season with eight teams. "Indicatlpiis are," said Brehm Saturday, "that I will award the MillerKemper franchise to Eaton and take in the Pennsy team. I will reach a definite decision Saturday night." The withdrawal of New Paris was made at the meeting of suburban league managers in the Y. M. C. A. Friday night. New Pari3 would have supported the team, but the players failed to show up for the last two games. Consequently Paree fans were "off" the suburban league. The Boston C. and O. team was to have played at New Paris Sunday. The Pennsy team has made arrangements to play the C. and O. aggregation at Boston instead. This game will be car whackers against car whackers, with odds favoring the Pennsy team. The favorites will be composed mostly of players on the Pennsy division team. Other suburban league games are: Shamrocks at Eldorado, Centerville at New Madison. Miller-Kempers at Whitewater and Senators at Lynn. 1 1 W W V w V ITI m V WW WW Warning Last Time Today In Toledo Grand Circuit TOLEDO, O., July 17.
