Net Enough of the Grain Coming in

CHICAGO, I1LT July 2a. July oats
aad the nth article of standard
grade yesterday advanced to 70 cent3,
enly 1 cent under the panic prices of
1S67 and 1374. and in excess of the
present price of July corn. July oats
opened unchanged at 67 cents, but
owing to the scarcity of supplies it
needed only the purchase of 20,000
bushels, wanted by shorts, to send
the price up to the figure mentioned.
The situation in July oats is termed
a natural comer, although- one influ
ential trader is long a considerable
percentage of the stuff which has been
sold.
The situation was brought about
chiefly by the weather. Traders hab
itually sold short an prosppct3 of a
good crop, but receipts for some time,
owing to the bad weather, have been
coming in crib lots, with the per
centage of contract very small. A
plan was set in motion to bring a

Grave Aspect for Stock.
MEETEETSE. Wyo.. July 25. The
feeling here against extending the
Yellowstone Park and Big Horn for
est reserves is still very strong and
an active movement is an to have
the recent orders of the Interior de
partment rescinded.
At the recent meeting of the sheep
and cattlemen of rhig section, it was
clearly the sentiment that the stock
grokers are being done an injustice
by extending the boundaries of the
reserves. Available range is getting
very scarce, even in this part of the
state, and it has come to be a seri
cus question to find sufficient food
for the thousands of sheep and cattle
now being run here.
W. B. Sleeper, a personal friend of
President Roosevelt, has been sent
to Washington with a copy of the
resolutions adopted at the mass
meeting, which ask that the presi
dent grant the stockmen ninety days
in which to remove their herds and
Socks from the country included in
the extension of the reserves.

NOT TO VISIT POCEN

MCULFBUK BOSTS
of German Ruler Think He
Should Not Expose Hiiwsetf Kaf
aer'a Friends Hope He Will Abandon
Trip.
BERLIN, July 24. Court Chamber
lain von MbrawskL a Polish landed
agnatP has appealed to Emperor
William not to visit Posen daring the
arssy axaneuvers to be held in Sep
tember, as Ms majesty has planned to
dc The chamberlain fear that some
(Polish, fanatic might attempt to harm
thfr emperor. Racial feeling is re
scribed as at fever heat and several
Berlin journals take the view that it
would be unwise for the emperor to
expose himself unnecessarily. The
Post, conservative, says it is informed
that it would greatly relieve those
responsible for his majesty's safety
to learn that he hari given up the trip.
Prominent Germans residing in Po
land are glad Th- the Polish officials
and nobility have determined not to
attend the festivities, as thereby the
chances of unpleasant incidents aris
ing are lessened.
It is scarcely likely that Emperor
William will act upon Chamberlain
von MorawskTs appeal, because his
majesty never permits himself to
change his plans on account of the
timidity of his advisers. He goes
anywhere he thinks duty calls him
and. besides, it is his purpose to de
clare the government's Polish policy
while in Polish territory and his giv
ing up of personal supervision of the
manuevers would be unprecedented.
The Polish question is regarded as
the most pregnant in the govern
ment's domestic policy. While no ob
server believes the Polish agitation
mr really amount to much ultimately,
it is embarrassing the relations with
