The demand today waa easily strong enough to take rare of the heavy recelpta, but prlcea were somewhat lower, and sev eral tradera preferred to hold their sam ples over rather than aell them at a de cline. Most of the aamplea sold at un unchanged prices, but a few sold le to 2c lower, and some so lit aa much M I cents under Saturday's prtcea. There waa not much cash trading In corn, because of light recelpta. and the mar ket ruled from e to c lower. Oats sold generally from unchanged to o lower, the bulk selling at cents de cline. Barley sold a fraction higher and rye waa quoted nominally unchanged. i a verpooi close : w heat, ateady : corn, unchanged to 4d higher. .

T-anc, general freight aeent of the Union Pacific, who passed through much of the Nebraska corn country Sunday while returning with a party of Union Pacific officials from Cheyenne, was optimistic over the corn situation, saying. The corn has at least a week's fighting chance. If we get rain in a week the corn will pull through in fairly good shape. Of course, a day or two of bad hot winds would 'fire' it out very quickly, but with average weather it can -et along for a week without material damage from lack of rain." The Burlington crop report for last week was not very encouraging, but was more hopeful than was antici pated after a totally dry week. The corn yield estimate has decreased during the week on all divisions, but the crop in the Omaha division is not believed lo be materially damaged, the agents estimating it as 94 per cent of a fuM crop, against per cent a week ago. The greatest damage was on the Wvmore and McLook di visions, where there was a drop of 20 per eent. A week ago the Wvmore division had prospects of a full crop and this week it is reported as 80 per cent. 1 he McLook division de creased from 95 per cent to 75 per cent. The Lincoln division dropped from 99 per cent to 83 per cent I he July estimate of the federal govern ment gives Nebraska an 84 per cent crop, indicating that the Burlington estimate is reasonably correct. Not Damaged Yet. In commenting on the outlook the report says: "On the three eastern divisions corn is in that state that it is difficult to say whether actual dam age has been done from the hot weather or whether the limit before actual damage has been done is still a few days off. The early corn is at the most critical state, in the silk and tassel, and if corn is already dam aged, the greatest damage is, of course, to the earlier corn. On the McCook division there seems to be no doubt that considerable damage has actually resulted from the hot, dry weather. If within the next few days, or possibly a week, we should have general and sufficient rains we could reasonably hope for a fair corn crop. For the week ending last Friday the Burlington shipped 2,265 cars of grain, as against 397 tars during the same period last year. This is due to more favorable Conditions for thresh ing. The second crop of alfalfa was shortened in some places by the dry weather and the third crop will, of course, be very slqw in starting and the fields will dry out rapidly when the crop is mowed off and no new growth started to cover tne grounu.

Aviator Able to Look Over Big Area of Land rrorrsinandcnD of The Associated Presa.) , Paris, July 21. An airship at 4,000 cubic vards height is able to make observations over a surface of ground 300 miles in diameter, according to information co ected in the discus sion of the services that aircraft has rendered during the war. An aviator at 1,000 yards height has within his vision a zone seveniVTiive mucs diameter. Accordingly, the Abbe Moreaux of the Bourges observatory has figured out that an aviator of the entrenched camp of Paris at 1,000 yards height is able to'see as far as Chartres, Orleans, Beauvais, Amiens and the trerman lront Deyono com piegne, with the city of Laon. The visibilitv. calculated mtthe matically, is rarely possible, however, in practice, because atmospneric con ditions are seldom just right for it.

Records for Wheat Receipts Broken For Omaha Market All oast records of wheat receipts were brokenon the Omaha market the first of the week, when 676 car loads of wheat appeared. Prices held up well under the flood f wheat offered and at the close of the buying only a few samples re mained. In these vast receipts Omaha led all primary grain markets in the United States for the day and was second only to Minneapolis, which is not strictly a primary market. Uf this large ottering ot wheat fully 90 per cent was new wheat. Grain men hnd that this is ot excellent quality. In fact, the Nebraska crop this year bids fair to lead all states in quality and in the quantity per acre. A year ago there was but one car load of wheat offered in Omaha for the day. I he vast ottering of Monday repre sents a cash value of over $750,000. Bank Clearings for July Show Big Gain Omaha bank clearings continue to show healthy gains over last year.

But even the north wind these days is hot, for it comes from places that are just as hot as Omaha. Five Deaths at Dubuque. Dubuque, la., July 31.
