(Bv Thomson & McKinnon.)
—June 27
With no developments over the week
end to influence the market in either
direction, it seemed perfectly natural
that we should have a reduced volume
of business.
There was just a fair demand for
stocks early, baying orders coming for
various commission houses.
The market acted and appeared fairly
steadv, but as soon as this demand was
satisfied, with no prospects for a
sumption of this buying, the profes
sional element naturally drifted to the
selling side and, under this pressure,
values gave way here and there, out dur
ing much of this time dullness prevailed.
Later on, upon the annonncement of a
further reduction in the price of refined
sugar, selling of this group became more
active sugar showing a sharp decline.
The market, in our opinion, is now in
that stage where it will require some
thing of this kind to bring about any
further liquidation.
Taking the market as a whole, all rec
ognize the extent of the depreciation in
values and there certainly must be a
limit, but it Is likely that traders will
not give this subject much attention un
til we have entered a real period of dull
ness.
We are disposed to look at the mar
ket as having fairly completed the dis
counting of conditions as they exist i*p
to the present time and will be gov
erned solely by new developments.
We see nothing at the moment that
would warrant expectation of any impor
tant recovery, nor do we feel that any
further serious decline is in order, and
consequently we may Just naturally dri 4
into a normal traders' market.
The fluctuations within such limits
will afford profitable tarns.

Swine prices were 15 cents lower at the
opening of the local live stock exchange
today, with a top of $8.90, and the bulk
of the sales at $8.75@8.55.
Lower prices were principally due to
large receipts and lower price tendencies
on the other large hog market of the
country. The fact that Chicago receipts
of hogs was 50,000 ;SO had a great in
fluence.
Receipts for the day ran close to 6,000.
Practically all of the receipts were sold
before the close of the forenoon hours.
Light hogs generally brought $8.85.
with a few at $8.90. Medium, mixed and
heavies sold at $8.75. Pigs brought $8.75
aud down, and roughs, $6.75 anil down.
Hot weather is having its effect on the
local cattle market. Prices were very
irregular. Steers were between 25 aud
50 cents lower; canners and cutters,
about steady; butcher stuff, bare'y steady
to 25 cents lower and bulls were strong.
Receipts for the day ran close to 900
cattle.
Four loads of fair steers sold at $7.50.
while there were a few grades of steers
at SB.
Trade on the calf market was dull, due
to a slump in the demand for calves by
eastern houses, which in turn is due to
the slack in public demand ou account
of the hot weather.
Prices were fui y $1 lower, with a top
of $9.50 on choice veals aud the bulk of
that grade a.t sß@9
Other grades of calves were correspond
ingly lower.
There were close to 500 calves on the
market.
A slump has hit th< local sheep market,
due to an absence of an outside market
demand. Poor grades of sheep and lambs
are also contributing factors to the dull
ness.
Prices were generally $1 lower on lambs
and barely steady on sheep. The top
price of the day was $9 for a few good
spring lambs.

—June 27
Wheat —Unfavorable crop reports from
the Northwest have again been received
lut, as the damage is contingent upon
weather conditions, there has been no re
vival of interest in the market. The
apathy on the part of investors has had
more to do with the smaT leuline in price
than any important selling or any radical
piece of news. Seaboard houses were
buyers of July wheat early in the day
liut no export business was reported
closed. Choice milling wheal of the hard
variety of winter and spring has been in
demand but poorer grades, also soft
wheats, have been neglected. Showery
condition over the southern portion of
the winter wheat belt is delaying harvest;
likewise, the movement to terminal mar
kets. Sellers of July wheat are con
fronted with stocks in Chicago of only
282,000 and current receipts still com
mand strong premiums. There will be
competitive demand from millers and ex
porters for the first movement of new
wheat. Until there is widespread rains
over the spring wheat belt and cooler
temperatures, we doubt if the market
will “bow any particular weakness.
Corn and Oats —Some unfavorable crop
reports on oats have been entirely ignored
in the face of rather nattering news as to
the corn crop and In the fine of another
liberal increase in the visible supply of
both corn iml oats. Elevators continue
makii g preparations for delivery of corn
ou July contracts, there being 375,000
bushels sold to go to store today.
I’rovisions—Smaller packers huve made
a few hedging sales in products, support
forthcoming from larger packprs. Out
side of this support there is practically
no demand for the deferred de iverles.
The stocks of lard in Chicago warehouses
give prospect of being record proportions
by July 1.

week was generally good, although chinch
bugs are becoming a serious menace in
several localities. The report follows:
The corn condition continued generally
good duriug the last week, but chinch
bugs are creating a serious menace in
some places.
Winter wheat-cutting is practically over
in the southern half of the State and
all will be cut by the end of this week.
Many complaints have come in stating
that heads are not well filled and thrash
ing returns in a lew southern counties
bear this out.
Weather conditions are unfavorable to
the growth of spring wheat. Tempera
tures averaged very high during the
week. Local showers were fairly genera!
and accompanied by high winds in some
places.
Oats are said to be suffering from the
effects of the hot weather. The straw
is very short and heads are not well
filled. Cutting will begin in southern
counties the last of next week.
Barley is in about the same condition
as oats.
The cutting of rye has been completed
except in the extreme northern counties
of the State. Heads are not well filled
and a very disappointing yield is how
expected.
Local showers have materially bene
fited late potatoes in nearly all sections
of the State, but insects are plentiful.
Sweet potatoes in the southern counTes
are in excellent condition.
Hay crops have been benefited during
the last week by showers in many locali
ties. In some places, however, crops are
in poor condition.
Tobacco is making favorable progress
in the southern part of the Statj, but
the acreage is materially less than last
year.
'1 he yield of small fruits, such as black
berries and raspberries, promises to be
fair to good. Other fruit xrops are al
most a failure, their condition being the
poorest ever recorded in the State.
Truck crops last week showed a slight
improvement over the week before.
Livestock is in good condition, but pas
tures are gettting short and furnishing
practically no feed in some localities.
At the present time there is abundance
of harvest labor that can had at $3.50
a day and board.

SCOTLAND YARD
HORROR REVIVED
Black Museum, Dismantled
During War, Reopened.
LONDON, June 27. Scotland Yard’s
famous chamber of horrors, the Black
Museum, is to be reopened. It was dis
mantled soon after the outbreak of war,
the room which housed the relics of no
torious crimes and criminals being re
quired for other purposes.
The Black Museum was formerly one
of the sights of London, and many fa
mous people, including crowned neads,
have inspected the grim exhibits.
Plaster casts of mr.rderers’ heads
adorned one of its walls and the ropes
which ended the careers of celebrated
criminals dangled from the ceiling. The
actual bath in which “Brides in the Bath"
Smith drowned his last victim occupied a
prominent place In one corner of the
room.
The exhibit which usually attracted the
greatest Interest, however, is a message
on a postcard attributed to Jack the
Ripper and received by the commissioner
of police. It runs: “Look out. for a
double event tonight. Yours truly, Jack
the Ripper." Only a few hours after
tlie postcard reached Scotland Yard the
bodies of two women, terribly mutilated,
were found in Whitechapel.
The Black Museum is not maintained
to satisfy the morbid curiosity of idlers
Special permission has to be obtained to
Inspect its grim relics. It serves the
useful purpose of instructing young mem
bers of the C. I. D. in the science of
crime detection and lectures are fre
quently given within its walls.
Tot, 6, May Fall Heir
to French Millions
SENECA. Kan., June 27.—Mary De
Mumm, six years old, has gone to New
port News. Va., to make her home with
her aunt. Mrs. Josephine Treadwell, and
there await disposition by the French
government of property which may some
day make her worth milions.
The little girl is a daughter of Fran
ces Scovilie De Mumm, formerly of this
place, who married Count De Mumm
while 1 1 Germany pursuing a musical
education.
When the World War came Count
De Mumm, although possessing prop
erty in France worth millions, cast his
lot with the central powers and became
a lieutenant in the army.
This caused an estrangement, for his
wife’s sympathies were with the allies,
and she brought suit for divorce.
The French government learning of
De Mumm’B action seized his property
In France as a war Indemnity.
Following her divorce Madame De
Mumm’s citizenship in the United States
was restored to her through special act
of Congress in order that her property
rights in France might be protected. She
died in Paris a year ago, and her body
was brought to Seneca for burial, and
her daughter has been living here glace
that time.
Little Mary will now be ra ed by her
aunt, and she has inherited the rights
of her mother in the French estates of
Ler father. f
WOMAN OF TACT
16 YEARS RETIRES
Chief Duty to Be Pleasant to
Everybody.
LONDON, June 27.—Mrs. James Wil
liam Lowther has Just finished what is
perhaps the most difficult long-distance
task for a woman that can be found in
the British empire.
She has not been visible. She has not
been wielding any apparent power. She
has been neither a suffragist nor anti
suffragist.
She has merely been quietly and very
successfully, during sixteen years, per
forming the duties and requirements of
"Mrs. Speaker."
She is the wife of the retiring speaker
of the House of Commons.
It’s a life-sized job, though in retir
ing she belittles its difficulties.
“I receive each member at least once
a year,” she said, “and often several
times.”
There are nearly 700 members, making
a vast social task in itself.
“It is one of my duties to look after
the speaker's gallery. I arrange who
shall be there. Just as if it were my own
drawing room. It has kept me very busy.
“I have not been responsible for keep
ing my husband fit. He does that by
fencing each morning on the terrace
alongside the Houses of Parliament. Once
a Steamer, passing down the river,
stopped, for the people aboard thought
that a real duel was going on. A fencer
comes every morning. My husband also
rides or walks every day.”
The “Mrs. Speakership" is made more
difficult even by the tradition that the
Speaker of the House shall be above
partisanship.
“I have never given my vote." Mrs
Lowther declares. "I do not belong to
any woman's federation, and I have never
consented to be president of any wom
an’s organization. It is not desirable
that the speaker's wife should do so.
“My only other duty is to be pleasant
to everybody. It's quite easy."
Quite easy!
Sixteen years of the most delicate so
cial and political tact and diplomacy—
an uninterrupted "job" of greater mag
nitude and longer duration, probably,
than any other woman in England can
count to her credit, for “Mrs. Prime Min
isters" come and go.

York two weeks ago she bad SBO.

Broadway, but her money was all gone
except for a few cents, with which she
bought sandwiches. She taken to
the Children's society and word was sent
to her stepfather, Braird Burke of Royal
ton.
