GRAIN PRICES , (Markets by K. F. Leiand & Company, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO. June 29 Wheat Wheat was fairly strong all day notwithstanding one or two reactions during the session, but the buying seemed to give out near the close, with prices closing about three-quarters under the high of the day. News was more or less mixed. There were a couple of black rust reports from the northwest, with a few reports of disappointment with threshing returns. Private reports to be issued were to show heavy losses to winter wheat and a small increase in spring as compared with estimates of a month ago. The houses with eastern connections purchased July and at one time the latter was practically even with September, but the difference widened out later. ExDort demand slow except for low-

trade Manitobas. Casn markets in the southwest higher. Corn Corn was rather firm within a narrow range with the close not far from the high of the day. There was good buying of July early by cash houses against sales to exporters. Seaboard claimed, nearly a half million corn worked for export. Cash markets about steady. Oats Oats were firm early, but eased ff a little later. The selling -was scattered. There was considerable exchanging between July and September at a difference of 2c. Cash about unchanged. Country offerings to arrive moderate. Crop advices were mostly bearish. Sales of 200,000 were made to go to store. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by E. F.

FARMERS VIGILANT IN KEEPING WATCH FOR CHINCH BUGS

Farmers Thursday kept a watchful eye for the reappearance of chinch bugs, not trusting in their elimination by the drenching rains which covered the county Wednesday afternoon. While wet weather is most unfavorable to the bugs, a single shower is not an insurance against them, i said those who experienced them last j Deen j . made in many places for giving a finishing touch by spraying corn or grasses while the bugs are held quiet by the dampness. The experience of farmers in south ern Randolph county . last year was recalled yesterday When discussions arose as to the probable benefit of the rain. Wayne county corn visitors to infested corn fields in that territory last year, found millions of bugs encased in the soil after a soaking rain, but unharmed by the dampness and swarming out in hordes as soon as the crust was disturbed or cracked as It dried. Destruction before they scatter, of any uugs mai rau ue icacueu, io important, tne county agent empnasizes, , as wun iavoraDie conditions tuey may be expected to rear a large second brood. It is this second brood which does the most harm, but it can be fought most effectively by destroying the present generation. While the weather is damp the bugs are quiet and may be found mostly gathered on the plants where they may be sprayed. A solution of one teaspoonful of nicotine sulphate, "Black Leaf 40," in a gallon of water, to which a walnut-sized piece of laundry soap has been added, is the most effective spray. When the ground is dry they will be found moving for several hours in the middle of the day, during all the time the temperature is pleasing to them, in fact. When movement starts the only protection is a barrier line constructed according to directions that have been issued from the county agent's office, and published previously. total: subscriptions 81, amount $2,164.

It was a coincidence that the association of railway executives called a meeting here today according to rail officials. The meeting, it was said, was called two weeks in advance of the ultimatum by B. M. Jewell, head of the shop unions, for a conference, principally on contracts with the American railways. Rejection Certain. The strike situation, however, made the meeting all the more important. Rejection of Jewell's ultimatum that the roads ignore the labor board's I wage cut decisions and restore abolished rules governing working conditions, was cei-tain, it was said railroad officials declaring that Jewell's conditions for averting a strike were "impossible." On the other hand a conference between railroad executives and union leaders was declared possible, not so much in any hope of reaching an agreement, but as a vehicle for carry j ing the disputes immediately to the from a railroad strike last October. By the formality of an announcement that the roads and unions could reach no agreement, the labor board, it was pointed out, could take jurisdiction as it did in the threatened strike of the "big four" brotherhoods last fall. Another Possibility. Another possibility was that the board could similarly assume jurisdiction over situations growing out of an actual strike on the grounds that the strike would interrupt commerce. The strike order said to have been issued under the signature of J. M. Kline, of the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers follows: In compliance with the strike vote shop craft employes below the ranks of general foremen are hereby granted sanction to suspend worK at 10 a. m jujy 1( on all railroads and Pullman! shops in the United States.

There are two reasons for this: First, the action of the big bear houses during the break in May, the present wide fluctuations in price from day to day and the uncertainty as to what the threshing returns will prove. The sec ond cause for more than ordinary conservatism at this time is the railroad fcituation and the threatened strike. t f Houo aar Kriniild local i, tl ,iK" wheat, and a railway tieup ensue, even if but for a few days, the elevators would quickly fill up, and wheat sold at central markets could not be loaded out. as per contract. Just what the effect of this combination of affairs on the market would be is purely a mat ter of guesswork and so the elevator men, in general, are willing to await the delivery of the actual wheat be fore Dricine. Despite what has been said several croDs have been bought in Preble counity, mostly at ?i per ousnei. as a. ruie I these crc.ps have been sold at a profit jfor July shipment, and principally to Cincinnati elevators. The mmer at Hagerstown said on Wednesday afternoon that no nfw wheat, had been bargained lor. He said, too, that a heavy rain was falling which would delay threshing opera tions and receipts of grain. The same report came from the Mil ton Grain company. Manager Stone said that they were having a real rain on Wednesday afternoon, on top of two showers which came earlier, and that he saw little show for any threshing this week. New Paris and Lewlsburg George Richards of New Paris reports the bulk of the wheat in shock and states that but for the recent rainstorms all the cutting would have been finished by Thursday night. He said that the most of the fields he has inspected looks like 10 to 12 bushel crops. Says that while there is plenty of straw, heads are short and not always well-filled at that. "In unfertil ized fields," said Mr. Richards, "there! is much whiteheaded straw, which is not showing in the fertilized fields. If there is a 20-bushel crop in this vicinity it has been grown by Arthur Rexroe, so far as my observation indicates. F. M. Van Ausdal, well known farmer of Lewisburg, Ohio, says that wheat harvesting is about over right around Lewisburg. Mr. Van Ausdal dropped in on us on Wednesday afternoon and said that they had all the rain needed thus far this week, having had two or three good showers, notably on Wed nesday morning. He says that there is some black rust in his section, but . h , .... dflTTlafrA h i . . . rocnltofl A c Iron go t n tnhann ho ctar. acreage was cut owing to excessive early rains, some tobacco land being planted to corn on that account. Oats headed short and but a limited crop is expected, thoueh these late rains may prove of benefit. Mr. Van Ausdal reduced his own tobacco acreage this year, having but eight acres planted on his two farms. Hiring More Salesmen The Producers company at the Chicago stock yards, started out with a small but efficient and experienced force. More stock has been received than anticipated, and now, before completing their second week, they are increasing their sales force to be able to take care of the business. The same thing has happened at Indianapolis, and still earlier at St. Louis. This concern Is trying to "zone" its receipts, that is setting different days of the week for shipments from the separate states. That plan has worked so far. as witness 29 cars from Illinois against but one car from all other states, one day last week. Farm Bureau Celebratton It is expected that at the decennial celebration of farm bureau activities, to be held at De Kalb. Illinois, on Friday, June 30, will be gathered the largest assemblage of farmers ever seen in the United States. The Illinois agricultural association, the Illinois university, and the American farm bureau r.re each sponsors for the big pageant to be put on. and every county in the state is likely to be represented in the gathering. It is also certain that a number of state farm bureau officials from all parts of the west will be present to gain inspiration from a pageant, in which nearly 2.0D0 farmers will take part. A special edition of the De Kalb Chronicle will be devoted to the growth of the farm: bureau end to all its accomplishments; to date.
