A Report That Mr.. Armour ana Associates Are

CHICAGO. June 26.-Board of Trade men say
that Philip d. Armour Is engineering a big cor
ner in wheat. There is every indication. too,
that the corner will be a success. II IL Is 1t will
be the first time in nine years that a corner In
this cereal has been successfully run. During
the week July wheat has advanced five cents o
bushel, while the September option remained
stationary.
Transfers CT large blocks cc wke.t du-;ag the
week serve to reveal that the available supply
for July delivery is in the hands of q very power

July option are regarded as evidence that the
msnipulators are playing with the short inter.

during a sag in the price; On Monday an

tighten the clutch of the bulls. The bears have
no knowledge as to who the bulls are. and that
gives a greater incentive to speculation. Old
timers wink significantly and say:

Transfers amounting to nearly three million
bushels made 10 Armour during the week. along
with other ~tcll-talc skirmishcs in the Armour

Last Saturday July wheat closed a. 6sAs cents.

closed at 64as cents a week ago, and sold al. the

POSTAL CONGRESS MEDALS.
They Will Re Ready for Distribution Some
Time This Week.

WASHINGTON. juno 26.-The medals intended
for presentation to delegates to the Congress Of
the International Postal Union as souvenirs of
that event will be ready for distribution early
next week. Director of the Mint Preston and
First Assistant Postmaster General Heath had q
conference to-day with regard to the method of
getting them into the hands of the owners.
Regret bias been expressed that the medals
were not prepared in time to hand to the dele
gates while in Washington. but the course
pursued is said to have been in line with the
policy that has marked the dealings of the Gov
eminent and officials in these matters from time
immemorial. Preparations for striking of the
medals were not begun until the congress had
been in session some time. And additional de-
lay was caused by the efforts OF some OF the at
taches to secure the medals from private cstab-
lishments on the theory that the expense
wouldn't be so great as IL the Mint did the work.
The cost OF the medals. cases, and the distribu-
ton will he met from the special appropriation
Of $4,000 made for entertaining the congress;
Recent instances Of like delay are those caused
by the managers of the World Fair and OF the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition. The law

hibit at Nashville, authorizes the managers. at
their own expense, to have medals for eNhihi-
tors struck off at the Mint. but as yet no appli-
cation has been made by them to the Mint Off.

WASHINGTON, June 2e.-In tho Senate this
morning Mr.. Harris Of Kansas reported from
the Pacific Railroad Committee tho resolution

specifically in tho report just road. He did not
know that thcre was any contrariety Of opinion
