Condition of 91.4 for Spring Wheat July 1, and 85.6 for/ Winter. Market Falls to New Low Points, September Going Down to 763/8c. No Improvement Yet Reported in the Flour TradeDaily- Gossip. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, July 10. Ihe tip was around this morning that the gov ernment ii-port to come later in the day, would be very bearish. No authority appeared, and no one knew the origin of the tip. No doubt it was nothing more than expressions of ex pectation that might have been entertained by anyone who had watched the weather and the crop reports since the June government report appeared, for everything has been BO highly favorable that maintenance of condition would seem quite the thing to expect, with a gain lnce June not improbable. The southwest showed up 134,000 bu at Kansas City, against 80,000, and 101,000 at St. Louis, against 104,- 000, or 255,000 against 384,000, less than e\- Siire eated. There was also a lack of selling pres against southwest cash purchases. This I gaive comparative firmness to start with, and 'ideally September held above 77c, and it be gan to look as tho yesterday's 76%c would be low, for the time being at least. It devel oped, however, that hedgers were only waiting for the bulls to give the market a boost the better to place their hedges, and when no bull activity appeared they began to sell against their cash purchases, and the market fell back to new low points, Minneapolis September ^olng to 76%c. So far as the long interest Is concerned, it would seem pretty certain now that those who have the wheat bought, In the main, are ready to stay back of it, Weak holders are pretty well out, for the decline from recent high point to low point up to this 'writing has been Just about 7. There are also a good many shorts who have not cov ered and are playing for 75c wheat or lower. The situation is such that upon the appear ance of any Important bull Influence quick ad vances would follow. Nothing of the kind ap pears. The weathe.* is still fine and the pre- 1dictioy IIt 1 Is for fair weather tonight and Wednesday. Everyone is bearish. The prob abilit is that with present conditions remain ing wheat will drag. When a bull market is Ion prices usually go too high, and now that [the bears are in control and nave tasted vie tory they are likely to push it at every op portunjty, erven if they send It lower than ought to go legitimately. The decrease in local elevator stocks for three idays is 125,000 bu. Receipts here were 158 f8 '-ars against 127, at Duluth 75 against 17, and a Chicago 160 against 77. Winnipeg received oars against Ill Liverpool closed %@%d tower. Statistica news that ordinarily would {strengthen the market now has no effect. Bradstreet's showed a decrease for the week In the world's visible supply of 0,500,000 bu, teompared with 2,437,000 decrease a year ago. foils fell flat. Mo one is thinking about those [things now. The trade is Imbued with the fchought that a big bumper crop is coming *nd that there must be some change to a less favorable promise or some good export Dust iness before there will be a permanent upturn tin prices.

He recently de* clared war on the snakes that infest his large estate at Pocantico hills and 25 cents is paid for every one killed and brought to his superintendent. The following notice was sent out a short time ago: I will pay 25 cents for each snake killed on my estate. I desire to rid my land of these reptiles, and any one may enter the war of extermination. John D. Rockefeller. The war has begun and the regiment of extermination consists of every small boy in the neighborhood and many men who come from miles around to earn the quarters. The region of Butter* milk hill is abont the wildest in the county and here black snakes, copper* heads and garter snakes abound. Mr. Rockefeller always has bees deathly afraid of snakes. If he has occasion to go to the Buttermilk hill section he always travels in a carriage. Mr. Rockefeller also offers $2 for every dog killed on his estate. Some valuable dogs were killed last winter and he had, some trouble with his neigh bors. William Rockefeller offered 25 eents for all snakes killed on his place for several years and now it is free of the reptiles. Landlady^They say charcoal Is excellent (at the digestion.
