CHICAGO, June Fear of a bearish
government crop report was again a mill
stone around the necks of wheat specula
tors today. This and estimates of. enor
mous whiter and Boring wheat yield clip
ped %c off July and %fe?gc off. September
wheat during an exceedingly dull session.
Corn and oats were also very dull, and
declined about %c each. Provisions closed
2%4@)10c lower. -
for a.brief period immediately follow
ing the" opening, wheat showed some de
gree of steadiness. This was due to the
Kansas crop report making 25,000,000
bushels the maximum" possibility of that
state's yield, and to the continued Rus
sian damage reports. But the steadiness,
was not of long endurance. Opening un
changed at 74%tr75c, July, after a few
transactions at those figures, slowly slid
off." There were slight reactions at times,
caused by „ covering--by shorts, but the
tendency in the main was steadily down
ward,-and before the noon hour the price
had touched 74% c. The Northwest was a
free seller during the decline.
Besides the natural feeling of bearish
ness caused by the government crop re
port due tomorrow, the market was much
depressed by Snow's. crop report, which
said that 550,000 bushels was a conserva
tive estimate of the' probable yield of
winter and spring wheat this year. These
figures was far over the average pro
duction for several years past, and made
the market very susceptible to any sell
ing pressure.
Liberal Northwest and local receipts
were a factor. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 55 cars, compared with 535 last
week, and 221 a year ago. Chicago re
ceipts were 86 cars, three of contract
quality. Estimates on the visible supply
were for an Increase of about 1,500,000
bushels, compared with a decrease last
year of 2,000,000 bushels. This also had Its
effect. Argentine shipments were. 1,026,000
bushels, against -264,000 last year. The
seaboard claimed as high as 70 loads taken
for export. : '..'.-* ." -\\" '
During the afternoon there was some
improvement in the tone of the market.
Liquidation was. stopped somewhat by a
number of complaints from Indian ter
ritory, Kansas and Nebraska, of too
much rain, and the market received sub
stantial support, the first in some time,
when private cables were received from:
a prominent Chicago grain dealer, now:ln
Russia, confirming the worst reports as :
to the condition of the crops of Southern
Russia and Rou mania. Previous to this
time the market had declined to 73% c,
but during the last. half hour's trading
a recovery to 74%@76% took place. That
was the price at the close. -.■<'. • - „-.
Corn was dull, and a little lower
throughout. Commission houses were
moderate sellers and buying was scat
tered..Complaints of too much rain In. the
corn belt had a steadying Influence on
prices. The cash demand was rather poor, i
Receipts, 561 cars. July ranged from 83% c;
to '33%@»4c, and closed %c lower, at 33% c.
Oats were dull and a shade lower. Crop
reports were, somewhat bullish, but sym
pathy with wheat was shown in the class
of selling. There was little demand for
cash oats.' Receipts ' were 216* fears. \ July
ranged from 23%@23%c to 23-@23%c, and
closed %@%c lower, at 23% c. ..,'".. !
Provisions were practically at a stand- j
still during most of the session. There j
was some commission house selling of
pork, and the decline, that followed -.was
shared :in a degree by other products.
Packers also, sold moderately. Buying;
was scattered. At j the close" July pork j
was -.10c lower, at $8.07%; July lard 5c

wire to C. H. F. Smith & Co., St. Paul,
members of the New York stock ex
change and Chicago board of trade -—
Prime says: The best winter wheat coun
ties in Southern Illinois show that the
poor fields are getting wore, and the
good fields have improved. Tne weather
has been very favorable for the w'nter
wheat during the last ten days. Harvest
in fourteen days. Corn has not made
much' progress recently. Texas reports
that the conditions .for, harvest are per
fect, the acreage is larger than that of
last year, but the crop will not any
larger. Northern Kentucky reports that
they will begin cutting wheat ab^ut the
20th of June. No wheat on the ma-ket
until the Ist of July. Wheat Is heading
out very well, may make about three
fourths of a crop. Kansas crop report:
Winter wheat condition, 55; corn, 9). The
secretary of the agricultural department
of Kansas Issued an important report
last night, covering every neighborhood
in Kansas and embracing a section of
1,600 correspondents; 89 per cent of the
wheat acreage has been abandoned or
given over to other crops. The condit'on
of the acreage growing is placed at £5
per cent. The secretary declines to spec
ulate as to the possible yields, but U'on
.the conditions now it is difficult to esti
mate the total yield, which, .cannot, be
under the most favorable conditions,more
than 25,000,0:0 bu. —-St. Louis: Commer

NEW YORK, June Late this after
noon occurred one of those slaughters of
the innocents around j the j sugar post on
the floor of the stock exchange which
have come to be looked for as a periodi
cal incident in the history of the ex
change. For weeks there have been dire
ful predictions that the end of the sugar
company as dominating factor In the re
fining Industry was at hand, that the
suspicion of dividends was imminent, to
carry the war, and all sorts of disas
trous predictions. . Gentlemen: supposed

company have either been silent with an
expression of j plaintive sadness, or have
freely admitted their conviction of the
truth of the . worst that could be said.
Many. persons ; seeing the high level of
sugar,- considering these conditions, have
sold: the stock very liberally with the ex
pectation of buying back when the col
lapse came. A great many ■"-' of these
bought their stock to cover short con
tracts today at a level nearly 20 • points
above that at which the 1 direful predic
tions had carried it. . Inside Interests be
came averse to selling and held out ten
aciously for the higher price.' This excit
ing and - painful incident closed the day
of uniform strength, throughout the mar

The action of the "market was very sim
ilar to that of yesterday, the" early
strength centering In New York traction
shares and the grangers. The bears made
an Ineffectual effort to check. the advance
by raiding down continental tobacco over
three points. They turned sugar, back
ward some one and a half points also,
but without marked effect on the gen
eral list. Later there was realizing In
the New York traction group, with re
actions of about a point. The strength
developed by the coalers again turned the
market upward. .The same thing hap
pened in the last hour, when the profes
sionals took profit In sugar and the trac
tion stocks. The recovery began In same

made the last prices the . highest of. the
day. The net gain In sugar Is 6%, In
Brooklyn Transit nearly 3 points, In Met
ropolitan street railway 5%; Manhattan,

SOUTH ST. PAUL.
Weekly Market Letter.
CATTLE—The receipts of cattle the
past week have been light, and especially
has this been so on good cattle of all
kinds. With a fair run of fat cattle the
market was fully steady, and we think
that Chicago prices were obtained for
all the cattle that were sold on the South
St.' Paul market.
We think that any one feeding cattle
in .the; oountry. tributary to South St.
Paul makes a mistake In not trying our
market before going to Chicago. We
would not say this were we not of' the
opinion that we can get Just as good,
and In some cases better ' prices for your
cattle than 7 you -can get "at any other
pclnt. . '- ■ r-'-'..-•■■>"'-!• -
The cow stuff that has been coming in
this week begins \to show considerable
signs of grass, and we" would caution
shippers to look out for this class of cat
tle, as we believe that they will surely
sell for less money.
The good quality stock cattle have
been picked up readily at last week's
prices, but the common kinds, such as
Holstein3 and Jerseys, are more neg
lected every day, and our advice to ship
pers would be to buy this class of cat
tle so that they can be sold on the mar
ket around $2.50 to $3,
We quote: Good to choice dry-fed
steers, $4.75 to $5.25; fair to good, $4.25 to
$4.75; good to choice fat cows, $3.76 to
$4.25; fair to good, $3 to $3.50; good to
choice fat heifers, $4.25 to $5; fair to good,
$2.76 to $4; canners, $1.60 to $2.25; fat bulls'
$3 to $3.50; bologna bulls, $2.75 to $3; veal
calves, .$5 to $6.60; good to choice stock
ers and feeders, $4 to $4.50; fair to good.
$2.75 to $4; good to choice stock steer
calves, $4.80 to $5.26; fair to good, $4 to
$3.50; good to choice young feeding cows,
$2.75 to $3.25; good light steer bulls,- $3.25
to $3.75; common stockers and feeders,
off-colored, Jerseys and Holstelns, are
selling at whatever prices it Is possible
to get, usually about $2.50 to $3.
HOGS—The hog market at South St.
Paul has been one of the best In the
West this week, while the receipts were
light and quite a little less than for the
previous week. The general quality of
the stuff in has been only just fair, and
several loads have come! In that were
very rough and showed signs of grass.
Shippers should be very conservative In
buying grassy hogs and pigs, as this
class of stuff Is sure to bring lower
prices. - ■7' < 7777-a . ;-;,.'.''
The market opened low on Monday,
with a light run In, and the bulk of the
butchers selling at $3.60 to $3.65. Prices
were quite a little higher on Tuesday,
the bulk selling at $3.62%, and Wednes
day there was a still further advance
of 6c to 7%c. . , Thursday there was - a
drop of sc, and'today (Friday) the hogs
sold a shade lower, but the bulk still
sold from 6c to 10c higher than the week's
opening prices.
The bulk of the butchers sold today
for $3.60, with some rough loads at $3.67%,
and some choice, sorted bunches to local
butchers at $3.70. - .
We quote: Good to fancy and medium
weights, $3.(50 to $3.67%; good to choice
mixed hogs, $3.67% to $3.62%; good to
choice heavy hogs, $8.60 to $8.66; good to
choice light hogs, $3.50 to $3.60; pigs and
rough packers, $3.25 to $3.40; stags and
boars,, $1.50 to $2.
SHEEP—The receipts have been ■a: lit
tle light, this week, and the market has
been generally dull and weak. Prices
are 25c to 60c lower on. sheep, and about
$1 a hundred on lambs. Spring lambs
are particularly weak and out of de
mand, with the very best-selling as low
as $5 to $5.50, and good ones for $4.75- In
the near future the Wisconsin lambs
will probably be "marketed; arid "this will,
no doubt; have a tendency to-hold prices
down so that there is very little likeli
hood that • prices will Improve. :-■:.-•■■;'
We quote: Good to choice sheep, $4 to

Wabas-n College Faculty Discipline*
Freshmen for Tains; R-ed Paint.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., June !>.—
The faculty of Wabasha college has an
nounced that as a result of its Investiga
tion of the defacement of the college
buildings and chapel' in the Interior by |
red paint and ugly posters on Tuesday
night W. H. Hedriok and J. A. loyton. ;
of the freshman class were dismissed
from the Institution In disgrace.
The vandalism had been committed by
the whole class, however, and at noon
the class in a body waited on President
Burroughs and stated that all were equ*-'-" '
ly guilty. Upon this declaration the whole
class was Indefinitely suspended, and the
examinations were dropped at once..
At chapel the freshmen were loudly
cheered by the other classes, and much j
disorder ensued. The freshmen take their \
disgrace in a most light-hearted stylo j
and in celebration of their dismissal had •
a banquet this evening at one of the '
