GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Reports of Corn Deterioration Con tinue to Come in. MAKE PERSONAL EXAMINATION Denlera Take Trip Through Belt In Which the Crop la Groirtns; and Find It In Poor Condition Future Higher. OMAHA, Aug. 7, 1913. There) were many reiterations of further and pronounced losses In the corn belt because of the Ions drawn out drouth re ceived hero yesterday. Some of the com mission men In the market have made personal examinations of the growing; corn In order to convince themselves of Us actual progress. Frederick Schneider, a member of the Chicago Board of Trade, returned yester day from a, trip through Iowa and north ern Missouri and he says that conditions could hardly be worse, and that those who have not been over the fields can not possibly realise the sensational losses shown. In addition to this there were many roports. received from the best au thorities In the belt telling of total losses of the corn crop. The best Judges of conditions on the farm are giving their attention to the bull side of corn and thoy are backing up their opinion with their money. With the scattered showers of Tuesday and yesterday It looked as If a complete reversal of condition surrounding tho corn market were about to be seen. The lowest prices of the day, however, were reached early in the session, when not only the old time bull crowd, but those who put out short lines early in the day, as well as those who sold out their long corn, entered the pit as buyers. Cash corn was U6tto higher. Wheat has displayed rather poor rally ing power since the break of Monday, yet corn pulled It upward WQc yester day. Tho wheat market Is in anything but a strong position at the present, be cause of the poor cash trade, as only 10,000 bushels were sold at Chicago yester day. Cash wheat was unchanged. Traders endeavored to break the price of oats yesterday, but they discovered their efforts were Ineffectual. Cash oats were Ho higher.

Rain scattered over tho northorn part of tho belt with additional moisture pre dicted for tonight and tomorrow inclined many speculators to a bearish view of the corn. Nevertheless all the offerings were well absorbed, some of the larger bulls becoming aggressive and adding to their holding.

Key to the Situation Dee Adverting THE BEE: NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Is Infused with a Measure of Under lying Strength.

NEV YORK, Aug. 7.-ManlpulatIon ot a professional character, aided by such factors as betterment In the Balkan sit Uatlon and hopeful rains ovei some of the parched agricultural centers ot this country. Infused a measure of underlying strength in today's stock market. The movement as a whole, however, was so irregular and spasmodic! as to carry little conviction of public Interest, much levi support. Politics played nn Part In tho day s af fairs, although emergency notice ot the currency commission of the American Bankers' association for a meeting to act on pending legislation at Washington served as a reminder ot the attitude ot that Influential organisation. The Mex. lean situation continued to bo ignored, with no movement In the shares ot tho railway propertlcs'controlled by that gov ernment No small part of tho further rise wns made in the face of continued resistance by the bear faction. Steel's advance to Its best figure In some months was tho more surprising, inasmuch as it disre garded reports of price concessions for certain finished products. Tho effect ot the Improved crop outlook was seen In the better tone of tho south ern and southwestern railway share, whllo Reading and Lehigh Valley, espe cially the latter, probably owed their ri eovery to excellent earnintr exhibits. St. Lout A San Francisco also reported Very good earnings, wltlch were reflected In a smart rise in tno general bs.

ALL EXCEPT ONE DISSATISFIED Delrerntes of (treece?, rtnlRnrln, Ser vln, Ilnmnntrt nntl' Montenetrro Will Start Preliminary Treaty TOdrr LONDON, Aug. 7. The second Balkan peace conference having concluded peace on a basis of compromise, which' la un satisfactory to l states concerned ex cept possibly Rumania, the question Is being asked how soon a third Balkan war will break! out. Bulgaria has obtained under the agree ment reached in Bucharest today, a con siderable portion of northern Macedonia, much more than the allies wero at first Inclined to give it, and also about sixty mller of the Aegean seaboard, which Trill enable It to build its projected railway from Phlllppopolla to the Aegean Loss of Port Ilnrta Ilnlsrara. Bulgaria, however, deeply resents being deprived of Kavala, a port on Kavala bay, which goes to Greece. Also It is confronted with the task of expelling the Turku from Adrlanople, It being clear that the powers will do nothing In this direction. Bulgaria will seek to Introduce In the peace protocol to be signed at Bucharest tomorrow a reservation practically ap pealing to the European powers for av sub soquent revision ot the peace treaty. Pence Concluded. BUCHAREST .Aug. 7. Peace wag con cluded tonight between the Balkan states nnd the preliminary treaty will be signed ' ' 'omorrow by the delegates of Sorvta, Greece, Montenegro, Rumania and Bul garia. The, agreement was arrived at only after another exhibition of the utter helplessness of Bulgaria to face Its ring; of enemies. Wednesday the discussions tn the peace) , conference threatened to became Inter minable, but M. Mojoresco, the Rums nlan premier and president ot the con ference, clinched matters by threatenlnr that unless Bulgaria accepted the modi fied frontier proposed by tho allies Ru mania's army would occupy Sofia next ' Saturday. This threat had the desired effect and an agreement wm arrived at today after numerous private consulta tions between tho delegates and a four hours' sitting ot the conference. The Ifew Frontier. ' . Tho new frontier aa agreed to start at a point on the old frontier west ot tho Struma rivor, follows the water shed to the west ot tho town ot BtrumnlUa. thence runs almost through the Struma 1 valley' to tho Beleth mountains and thenco easterly In almost a straight lino to tho Mesta river, thus leaving the 1 town of Btrumnlts, the port ot Lagos and Kanthl, to Bulgaria and the port ot , Kaval to Greece. The new frontier Is a deep disappointment to the Bulgarians, who still nurse hopes for Its eventual revision by the powers. It is believed that an agreement for tho demobilisation of the various armies 'f will be signed tomorrow. The news that peace had bean arranged caused great rejoicing here. 1 Pool Hears Labor Law May Be Tested (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 7.
