An Interesting Corner in Juno Wheat al
New Yerk-The Situation at -
St..< Milwaukee,. &
New York, June 27.-The corner in June
wheat is becoming a very interesting one.
The firm representing, Mr.. Keene is said to
control about TO- 0 900 bushels of spring
wheat, and this house is forcing the shorts
on June contracts to settle at about $l.15,
while they are selling wheat deliverable in
July at $l.O3 per bushel. To-day in Balti-
more for June deliveries of red winter,
which is controlled here by another large
York at $1.25. This is an advance since
early in June of % cents in Baltimore and
Is cents here. The whole short interest in
this market on June contracts does net, it is
said, amount to more than 10000 bushels,
but the holders refuse to sell and demand
settlements. Speculative manipulation will
be resorted to early next month in order to
make q market upon which the bulls can
unload ; but if this should fail the price
would rapidly fall.
Milwaukee, June 27-Angus Smith made
a tremendous bluff at the boys on change
to-day, but did not get called. His broker,
Mr.. Robert Clarkson, had been bidding very
intellectually for No. 2 cash and had offered
as high as $l,O3 without being able to gel
any Of consequence. Suddenly MI. Smith
appeared in the ring and shouted, II will
give $1.10 fer $4,000 bushelsw Instantly
there was a general hub.bub and confusion,
but no sellers. Then again and again Mr..
Smith repeated his offer, yet there was NO
one to sell him the wheat. He retired from
the ring, saying that he meant business, and
his broker renewed the song Of II want 9
little more cash wheat at $1.03." The clique
continue to buy both June and July, bu
seem just now to be giving the preference t.
lJuly.. Cars to-day, 109, against 102 yester
tday. Receipts 1,790 bushels against 76,59t
the same day last year. Shipments 1915
bushels. Stock in store, 1878. 600 bushels
Nj. Smiths bluff to-day ought to be indica
ton enough as to where the cash wheat is.

Southeastern Dakota is almost exclusively
"a agricultural section, andEin the same "a
ito it, prosperity depends upon the extent
Of the crops which its soil yields to the hus-
bandman. Hence the weather, insects and
other conditions which effect the harvest are
carefully watched and the effects noted.
1t is a fact that in certain portions Of
southeastern Dakota serious damage has
been wrought by grasshoppers. The great
est injury from this source has been sustain
ed by the wheat crop, although other crops
in the same sections have to a certain extent
shared in the damage. The, country scourRed
by these pests is comparatively q small por-

southern Dakota, MOI is the destruction Of
the crops where these insects operated by
any means general. South and east of a

greatest damage has been done, yet within

being entirely unframed and nan excel
lent condition-while the corn and other
late crops never looked better or promised a
larger return. North and west Of this line
vefy little damage has been done, and from
all points in this sc ction we hear the most
gratifying reports in regard to the condition
of the crops Of all kinds. The stand Of
wheat, barley and oats is excellent, and
every present indication points to a very
large yield of the best quality Of grain.
Other crops are equally promising, and
there is no room for . doubt that the crop
now growing and maturing will not be the
largest and best ever harvested in Dakota.
The graashoppers, obeying their migratory
instincts. have left, and experience teaches
as that NO further damage from that source
need be feared this season. We are having
generous and timely rains, maintaining the
soil in the best possible condition, and every
condition of the atmosphere is u%nexception-
ably favorable for the growth and healthy
maturity Of the crops.
While, as We have stated, the crops have
been damaged in some portions Of the terri
tory, We feel justified, from the fullest and
most reliable information which we have
been able t. gain, in saying that the coming
harvest-as to quantity and quality-will bt
the best sver gathered in our territory.
