This did not check the boasts of the

Poverty is menace to capital. The
unemployed class has become per-
manent feature of our civilization.
Let us follow out a trail of dis
turbances caused by a permanent
class of unemployed, who are conse-
quently non-purchasers, in order to
show more clearly this loss of the
equilibrium of trade.
AS the autumn of 1898 advanced,
the number of the unemployed in
Boston was so great, say 10000,
that the small dealers suffered to a
marked degree. They accordingly
cut down their wholesale orders of
Christmas goods. This injured the
business of the middlemen. One
Boston firm of jobbers surrendered
it's stock of Santa Claus goods to a
large retail firm, which proceeded to

Crop Reports Were Extremely Bull
ish and shorts Were Driven to
Frantic Buying in All Pits.

CHICAGO. June s-Wheat rushed up at
a dizzy gait to-day, finishing with Slsc gain.
Extremely bullish crop reports scared
shorts. and their frantic endeavors to cover
resulted in an unusually active trade. Corn
closed &c higher, oats 27sc higher and pro-
visions at a slight advance
Wheat was strong and excited almost
from start to finish. Opening trades were
at sale advance, and after selling up Ac,
declined 1zc, rallied &c, reacted ssc, changed
some and closed strong. The sensational
feature was the Kansas crop report, which
showed reductions for the State of from
80 TO 40 per cent, Icing the greatest drop
for a single month ever reported. The
various weekly weather bulletins were. as
a rule. unfavorable, the past week being
the worst since the season opened. There
was a general scramble by anxious shorts
and room traders at the start to purchase
and at the advance long wheat came out.
but 1t was readily taken, and the market
again showed an upward tendency. The
better cables helped the advance. Toward
the last hour of the session the market was
very excited under an active demand and
limited offerings.
Corn was firm on the cold. dry weather
and the light movement in the interior. The
range for the day was &C AMI the close
near the top.
Oats were excited Ind strong, covering
PIC range and closing at the top. The
strength resulted from unfayorable crop re-
ports and the advance in other grains.
Provisions were dull bat steady, helped
by the strength in wheat. The market was
a narrow one. Compared with last night

The big elevator men nave declared war
on the Board of Trade because of the re-
cent adoption of an amendment prohibiting
regular elevator owners from trading in
grain on Change. A manifesto has been
issued, signed by the Armour, the Chicago
and other big firms, announcing that they
refuse TO submit and declaring that they
will find another way to make their re-
celpts available for delivery. The ware
house men will deal in grain with pro-
ducers, consumers and investors, they say,
and the system Of grain dealing will be
changed. There is much talk among the
elevator people OF starting a rival board
TO crush out the present one.
