her mother was SICK in bed at her own

Provision Lines-The Lard Case stu
On Hand
CHICAGO, June lO.--Speculation in pro-
duce was exceptionally dull yesterday.
Even the crowds about the wheat pits were
small, and about the other pits smaller
still. The fluctuations were narrow and
slow, and so small was the volume OF trad.
ing that quotations came along compare
lively few and at long intervals.
Provisions were somewhat affected by
their reported prohibition from Turkey
The amount OF American meats or lard
exported to Turkey is too small to be of
consequence, but the action shows that
the
Speculative Scandals
which have been stirred up here have been
spread all over the world. Even Turkey,
now, if reports are true, is afraid OF Ameri
can aGulteration and of the triChinT in the
pork. The latter product dropped no
10 Il barrel yesterday, and was almost TO.
tally neglected.
Lard received some support, purchases
having the appearance of psggiag orders
being made at intervals whenever there
appeared to be danger OF drop. The Nc.
GeoCh party mede such progress apparent
~ in proving It's charges against Fowler
Bros. that some little
Fear is Tc,t by the Bears.
II is hinted, toe, that when the Scotchman
i through with the fowlers he will turn
his attention TO the other packers here.
There were not above thirty brokers in
the wheat pit when trading opened yester
day morning and most OF them were SELL

crease as the day progressed. Prices open

at once declined one cent buShel. Then
they were advanced again. All the options

but no great change in the situation. The
local crowd does not apparently feel like
selling at present figures, nor like buying.
There is large interest in existence which
begins to buy on very little break, so the
figure fer July never stays very long un-
der 81 H. The stock is not decreasing. II
is anticipated that it will take either a
great storm or sensational crop reports Of
one kind or another to pat much action
into wheat. June closed last night at

tain 10 fall Off. The large movement of
corn East is said to be the chief reason for
frmness in its price. 1t advanced yester.
day and closed at I@@'sc above Friday
night. II is regarded Bs favorable for high
er prices that great shipping firms such as
David Dows & Co. and Field, L;ndley &
Co. are large buyers and pronounced
bulls.
Oats continue their slow advance, al
though the receipts do not at all fall Off
The large short interest in existence and
the fear of 8 squeeze this month and next
are accounted for the uphill movement.

THE SCALE SIGNED

Place nj Once.

At Cincinnati, and the Resumptten OF
work I'm All the Mills will Take
Place at Once.
GiNcENArI, June 10.-Resumption OF op-
erations in all the rolling mills in this
vicinity is now definitely concluded as the
scales were presented, aud, while not
signed in all instances, were in the main
satisfactory to the employers, and will be
executed. 1t was learned that slight de-
Walton from the straight Pittsburgh S. 50
card was made by the association, in the
fact that after prices advanced to cents
and above the advances differed in some
none ssential particulars from that stipu-
lated in the said Pittsburgh scale. This
difference would, however be of but little
consequer ce in a monetary point OF view,
but the manufacturers desire that no de-
rate now current in the Western country
generally.
No Change in Prices
or conditions will be made in any OF the
departments, as it is understood that the
supplementary agreement singed and ex-
ecuted by committe from both sides, alter
a long and protracted visit to Pittsburgh
Immediately after the application of the
present scale, will be rigidly adhered to-
This applies to all varieties OF differences
that are said to exist between the two To-
calitiSzsSand prevents the possibility OF
Misrepresentation of the contract. A few
of the mills were in operation last week in
a portion of their departments, but no
work Of consequence was executed.
1t is hoped that further stoppages, at
least during the present year, will be avoid
ed. 1t is the general impression that
trade will be temporarily stagnant but &C.
cumulations will soon he exhausted and
a general revival ensue.

ourNayy Hulks.

Washington, 18.-Chandler viii
this week advertise the following
named useless naval vessels for sale,
to the highest bidder, above appri-
sal. This in accordance with an act
OF Congress. These vessels have
been examined by a board Ofinspee-
ton and their report has been aD-
proved by the secretary of the navy
and by Congress. The total cost of
these vessels was about $4,000, 900.
None of them are useful for any
naval purposes, except a few which
are used as barracks and coal hulks,
and the board has announced them
dangerous even for this purpose.
This is a remarkable commentary
upon the management of the
navy. These ara not, with
few exceptions, the old aEte-war
ships. The oldest was built in
1914, but only ten were constructed
before the war; the rest have been
built since 1861. Eighteen were
built between 1868 and 1867, and the
timbers in some of them, which
have never had a deck plank laid
are rotten. The Alaska, Blue

A Discrepancy.

Boston, 1S.-The first intimation
of anything wrong was Monday
evening last week when it was
found that Blaney was 100000
short in cash accounts. When his
attention was called to the discrep-
ancy he said he had taken it fol
temporary use and would return it
next morning (Tuesday); he did SC
and being questioned about other
possible discrepancies assured the
president Of the company that his
deficit did not exceed $700. 1t was
deemed best to suspend Blaney
The experts soon discovered his de
falcations. His mode of covering
up discrepancies was, when
customer drew $500 to charge hin
as having received $1,000 or mor'
and pocket the difference.
