GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

Chicago. June 30.-Heavy exports, Il
decrease in the worlds visible and bullish
crop reports in Illinois caused an upturn
in wheat today. September closed at
j6 Bic or l lie above yesterdays
close. Corn and oats were little
stronger. Provisions were practically
unchanged.
Wheat-Therc was more life and in
creased activity displayed in wheat. and
the market attracted greater attention
than for some time, the range for the
day being 1 3-4c. The start was at an
advance of 1-Sc to 3-Sc and gradually
worked up / Csc. eased off lie, changed
some and closed within 14c to 3-Sc of
the top figures. The frmness was
started by the Illinois state report, which
made the condition of winter wheat IS

tone to the stock market in New York,
which also proved help to the market.
Cables-that is. Liverpool, considering
the drop yesterday on this side. did not
show the declines expected, coming lid
lower, and was also taken as an indica-
ton of tirmness on the other side. July
liquidation, too. was not so general, and
was something of help to the market.

STOCKS AND RONDS.

New York. June 30.-London was to-
day the dominating influence in the stock
markets, as its renewed and fairly
heavy purchases of our securities, though
not on as extensive a scale as yesterday,
caused n decidedly more cheerful tenn
per on the part of the dealers and opera
tors. The London prices for Americans
came higher, some of the advances over
our final figures exceeding a point. The
buying orders for foreign account in this
market. while chiefly for st. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville, covered almost
the entire range of the internationally
listed stocks. The result was substan-
tial improvement all along the line. based
upon heavy dealings for both accounts.
The aggregate of business. however. fell
considerably short of yesterdays record.
The execution of some commission house
orders was improved by the trades TO
advance the price of a number of the
specalties. The appearance of inside
support in some of the 1ndustrials also
afford encouragement, while stimulating
covering by the shorts. Realizations
caused a somewhat erratic movement.
although some weak spots were noted.
The tendency of prices continued up
ward till late hour. The market
opened with substantial gains. reaching
a point or Whereabouts in most of the
leading properties, but the Improvement
did not hold. as realiZations caused re-
cessions which carried some stocks below
yesterdays closing figures. Tobacco ex-
ceptionally broke 2 II per cent to 81 II
on sales. due to the uncertainty regard
ing the probable action by the directors
tomorrow on the dividend question. At
the low level, brokers usually acting for
insiders gave support and a recovery
ensued. Sugar yielded / II per cent
to 100 3-4. but soon turned and assumed
the leadership of the market and rose to
112 Is. The closing was within frac-
ton of the best. The purchasers of the
Changers. Louisville and Nashville. and
the Coalers were termed good, and ag-
gressive strength developed in Chicago

interest once identified with the man

WE are on the eve of the greatest gold
production this country has ever known,
mining stock having increased in value
from 100 to 1000 per cent and over dur.
ing the last few months, and are still ad.
vancing. Gold mining offers better
chance to make fortune on small
amount of money than any other invest
ment. Il made the fortunes of Mackey,
Flood, Fair and numerous other million
aires of 1s49, and is now making million
aires of many others. Stratton, Burns
and others, who few years ago were
laborers, are worth millions, and thous-
ands of others have made comfortable
fortunes in gold mining. Jay Gould, per-
haps the shrewdest of all American fnan-
ciers, once said: ~ am not looking for
place where large investment will be
required to produce small return. l
invest where 1t is possible for small
amount of money to produce a large
profit"
