of the Day.
M'-mei polls Chamber of Commerce, June 16.
nvei.uhjiyj looked a little shaky for the bulls
hi wheat this morning and there were premoni
tor\ -sjinptoms of weakness distinct enough to
cause selling of long September wheat. Having
opened easy the market rallied a fraction and
thou fell off again, turning dull. Outside trade
was light and the pit tradeis had the eailj
uuiket pretty much to themselves. The weather
w.is almost perfect. Thut the -nlntei whoat
Inn est should get well under way it is desirable
, th.it tin re should be no heavy rains for a time
and in this respect the outlook is now very
favoi.ibJa. Two low baiometer aieas were shown
en thi' map, the one In the extreme northwest
end of the country, covering Washington, and ex
tending Into British Columbia, the other along
the central Atlajtic coast, both as far from the
winter wheat as could be wished. Ovei the
noil It\ est spring wheat area there Is a "high"
si.o\ n and the prediction for this teriltoiy is for
fan woatuer to-night and Wednesday. The St.
Louis bulls are apparently still inclined to the
belief that there Is a fair chance for a wet
harvest, but present conditions do not show the
most iemote indication that way. Te\as, Okla
1 onus, Kansas, a part of Missouii and a few
scntteied localities in bouthern Illinois teport
wheat harvesting getting under way. This will
mean the beginning of a movement of new wheat
into 6t. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago shortly.
Of course theie is nothing especially weaken
ing In this as every one looks for it. But this is
piobu'ily the most Important speculative influ
ence uow. The bulls insist that no such move
ment can possibly develop as can bring on any
weakness, as the stocks are so light this yeai
and conditions all aiound so different from ordi
nal j that however heavy the receipts may run
PVPJJ thing will be cared for. And the further
bull assertion is that every one has been figuring
upon heavy receipts and an early movement,
and unless It Is materialized to the full the mar
ket Is likely to be affected contrariwise. The
beats are calculating upon this movement to
bring a setback in St. Louis, and the many who
lie bulls on the general situation are looking to
rlil-. to bring the break on which they aie ready
to buy wheat, which they will not buy now
heiause a break would not be unnatural at this
time. The maiket continues showing underlying
tinaness and whatever the direction may be for
tJ'e immediate futurewhich Is a matter of
, weather conditions entirelythere is an under
tone of strength and good support is likely to
di velop on any material break.
The world's visible supply, according to Brad
street's figures, decreased last week by 4.152,-
(- i0 bu. East of the Rocky mountains the de
cease is 4,452,000 bu, offset a little by an
i-icrease of 300,000 bu in the quantity In Europe
and afloat. Minneapolis received 110 cars against
80 last year, and Duluth had 96 against 8. Pri
mary points received 246,000 bu against 270,000,
rpd shipped 140,000 against 470,000. Wheat and
flour clearances equaled 435,000 bu.
The French report on wheat makes none of the
winter wheat very good and 38 per cent good.
Forty-four per cent is fairly good aud 4 per cent
middling. One per cent is poor and nothing veiy
poor. Iu spring wheat the very good is placed
at 1 per cent, good at 22 per cent aud fairly good
80 per cent. Foteign crop advices on the whole
were a little more favorable to-day, while the
foreign markets'were dull and easy.
The following aie the cable replies received
about growing crops in Europe by Harris-Gates.
ParisWeather In France cold and wet. Wheat
crop reported damaged but damage to crop prob
ably exaggei at somewhat
MarseillesWheat crop in North Africa expect
ed 1o be an average one and of good qaulitj.
Odessa Piospects of wheat crop favorable In
southern Russia.
NaplesWheat crop accounts in Italy general
ly favorable.
BerlinGermany's piospects becoming more
favorable Prospects for Europe in general will
be for smaller wheat crop than last year, but
of good quality.
The Illinois state crop report estimates the
submerged area at 500.000 acres, principally of
corn or wheat lands, in in most instances loss
Irretrievable. In the central and northern dis
tiicts wheat shows decided improvement, but
considerable complaint Is made of tust. Condi
tions are disappointing in the southern dis
tricts, with yields reported light and far below
the average. The weather is too cool for corn
and the plant has made little giowth and many
fields are turning yelkw. Some report foul con
ditions bu*- cultivating has ben in active opera
tbrnout the week under most favorable condi
tions Oats in the central and northern districts
continue to impiove. A few fields are short and
uneven, but the general condition at this time
is promising.
The market turned strong near the c lose, re
covering the loss of earlier in the day, and
closing firm, July at 79@79%c, and September
at 72%@72ytc.
Most of the cash wheat went? for delivery on
sales, and there was good demand for everything
left.
THE FLOUR MARKET
SMALLER DEMAND TO-DAYFOREIGN
QUIRY LIGHTER.
A good trade Is reported in flour from local
buyers and from the domestic trade in general.
Business In this respect Is very satisfactory. The
- foreign demand, which was lively for a day or
two, was reported this morning as having sub
sided to a considerable extent, and foreign sales
are not heavy. The tendency is to hold prices
firm, but the uqotations are hardly as tight as
yesterday, and. a shade easier on patents.
Shipments continue about the same in volume
as for a fortnight, yesterday's figures showing
B4.213 brls.
First patents are quoted $4.20@4.30 second

CHICAGO GRAIN
OPENING PRICES IN WHEAT BARELY
STEADY UNDER BEARISH CABLES.
Chicago, June 16.Opening prices in wheat
barely steady under the influence- of indiffer
ent cables and bearish foreign news, reports
from France and Russia being to the effect
that the crop In those countries was In bet
ter shape than anticipated. July was a shade
lower to a shade higher at 75%c to 76c, while
September was unchanged to %c lower, at 73%
@73%c to 73%@73%c. Trading was small,
but the market came somewhat firmer toward
the end of the first hour on a fair demand from
locals, September advancing to 73%@73%c and
July to 76% c. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts of 206 cars, which, with local receipts
of 66 cars, one of contract grade, made total
leceipts for the three points of 232 cars, against
304 cars last week and 146 cars a year ago.
The market was helped by the large decrease
in the world's visible, and by the rumors that
the Illinois crop report was quite bullish, but
profit-taking caused a reaction and the close was
steady, with Jnlv and September unchanged at
75%@76c and 73%@73%c.

NEW YORK. COTTON, June 16.After open
ing about as expected at an advance of 6@10
points, the Liverpool cotton market turned very
weak, prices there at the time of the local open
ing being net unchanged to 3 points lower. This
was accepted as a signal for general unloading
locally, and at the start prices were 9@13 points
below yesterday's close. They showed still fur
ther weakness under vigorous hammering by the
bears, who, in addition to the break abroad,were
encouraged to sell by the favorable weather and
larger receipts. After'the first rush of selling
orders had spent itself the market hesitated,
however, steadied slightly, and at the end of the
first half hour was feverish and irregular at a
net decline of 8@16 points.

New York, June 16.London sent decidedly
lower prices for Americans this morning and
the openiug here was to correspond. Blocks of
1,000 shares and upward of the leading stocks
were traded iu, some of them at declines of a
point and upwards. There were 6,000 shares
of Atchison sold at 65% aud 65%, compared with
66% last night. Norfolk & Western ran off 2%,
Baltimore- & Ohio 1%, Reading 1% and Cana
dian Pacifis, Missouri Pacifls, Rock Island, Sugar
and Amalgamated a point or more.
Prices rallied a small fraction, but the effort
to hold the market was abandoned as soon as It
was noticed the rise was bringing out more of
ferings. All the leaders fell below their first
prices and declines over night ran over a point
in a number of cases. Atchison lost 2%, bring
ing It within a fraction of last Wednesday's low
figure. The decline reached about 2 points in
Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & Western, Reading,
Missouri Pacific and Louisville. Kansas City
Southern preferred declined 5%, Colorado Fuel 6,
St. Paul preferred, Canada Southern, Lackawan
na and American Telephone and Telegraph 8
Metropolitan Securities 3% and Realty preferred
3%. Most of the active stocks were ruling a
fraction above the lowest, and the market was
less active at 11 o'clock.
Pressure to sell continued into the second hour,
forcing declines of 2 to 2% in Canadian Pacific,
Des Moines & Fort Dodge, Consolidated Gas,
Metropolitan Street Railway and North Ameri
can. The suicide of a bank official was given
a sensational significance by the bears, but
prompt assurances that no financial irregulari
ties were involved induced covering by shorts.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP
Waldorf gossip to Watson: Altho speculative
sentiment Is rather mixed, the consensus of opin
ion Is that the market is a good trading one. In
which stocks are a purchase on recessions. The
further reaction on the opening of the week was
expected. Prices had been advanced too fast.
Phe most urgent shorts had covered and, while
the volume of these contracts still outstanding is
very extensive, the market on the opening was
not in the oversold condition which existed on
the eve of the late rebound. F| these reasons
the setback is considered natural. Moreover, the
bear party, led by Well, renewed its attack with
the intention of breaking the general list with
Atchison. The latter stock has more than once
of late proved so vulnerable as to cast much
doubt on the statement of Insiders that E. J.
Berwynd and other directors are buying it on a
scale. In view of this conslrevative brokers are
inclined to advise their customers to keep out of
Atchison until the uncertainty regarding the
question of oond issues and the financial necessi
ties of the company are removed* But these
same observers take quite a different view of
properties which, as they put it, have been more
candid with their stockholders than has Atchison.
New York to Lewis. It is the same pounding
by the Weil and Waldorf crowd as was seen last
week, and with just as little opposition.
Cables report the weakness of Americans in
London caused by the selling on account of a
large Liverpool firm caught in cotton.
Whallon, Case 4s Co., from New York: More
or less commission house liquidation and selling
by London. The principal buyers are the
shorts.

"On the second and third level of the Queen
we have actually blocked out and ready to take
down over 40,000 tonsenough to keep a 100-ton
furnace running for over a year."
mis ore Is worth $10 a ton as it stands in
the mine. There is more tba'h that set profit
over and above all expenses in taking it out and
smelting it.
The work of blocking out the ore has only
just commenced. Six months from now we are
likely to have ten times as much "blocked out
and ready to take down," and even that will
hardly be a drop in the bucket in comparison
with what we have waiting for us. Professor
Treadwell has already demonstrated that In the
Iron Queen and adjacent mines alone we have
three miles in length of veins from five to forty
feet in width and many thousand feet in depth.
The 40,000 tons occurs all within 300 feet m
depth and only a few hundred feet In length.
The ore carries high values in gold as well as
copper. Mr. Erwin D. Treadwell, as the result
of close calculations and many experiments,
estimates that the gold values alone will pay the
entire cost of mining and smelting the ore,
leaving the copper cost-free. That is even bet
ter than our neighbor, the United Verde, does.
Our smelters are nearly ready to run, and the
enterprise is close to a self-sustaining and divi
dend-paying stage. Only a little more of th*
treasury stock is for sale to complete the de
velopment and equipment of the property.
Prices -will be quoted on application
