Lamson Bros. & Cos, Grain letter by

Lamson Bros. & Cos, Grain letter by
private wire to the Alamo Brokerage
Company:
Chicago, ILL.,, July 1.-THE past week
has been one of satisfaction to holders
of wheat but an equally unsatisfactory
one to bears. The strength in the for
eign markets and foreign speculative
buying on this side have been the
dominating influences and completely
reversed the bearish sentiment that
prevailed a week ago owing to the
crop prospects. In Liverpool July has
advanced nc and September almost
&c per bushel from last Saturday, while
July in Chicago gained re and Sep
TENDER &c per bushel. Thus the two
markets have remained on a parity
with each other, although prices here
close with considerable reaction from
high point which will probably cause
lower cable Monday morning. The
cause for the strength in Europe and
the foreign speculative buying on this
side seems to be owing to the falling
off in receipts from interior of Rus
STA and a general deterioration in the
growing crop of that country, also in
Germany, the Danubian provinces and
France, the total European crop be-
ing estimated at anywhere from one
hundred Ito one hundred and fifty
million bushels less than year ago.
1t is also said that the grain in Rou-
mania and in portions of Russia will be
of a very poor quality. In addition the
light receipts of new wheat up to today
has been a disappointment to the
bears. Kansas City seems to be the
only point that is receiving any
to speak Of, but advices
from the southwest today
indicate a larger movement next week
and it is more than likely primary re-
ceipts at winter points will soon be-
gin to show a liberal increase and
prove a substantial obstacle in the way
of an advance. The advance has
brought out large lines of long wheat
and has also caused free covering by
shorts. and unless further encourage
ment is received from abroad, it is
quite likely we have seen top prices
for a turn at least. Weekly reports

KENTUCKY JUDICIAL DECISION.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.

Lexington, KY, July 17.-Last Friday
night Jacob S. Harris caught Thomas
H. Merritt in flagrante delictu with
Mrs. Harris, and squared matters by
killing Merritt. Today Judge Gray
Falconer heard the case and promptly
acquitted Harris, giving as one of his
reasons for the decision that the ac-
ton of a man who avenges the destruc-
ton of his married life by striking
down the destroyer, after all must be
determined at the bar of human nature
and human nature will excuse the
avenger."

HURT IN A RUNAWAY.

Charles Walker and wife, of 229 Daw-
son street, were thrown out of a bug
gy on Alamo plaza last night about
9:03 o'clock. They were taken to the
residence of Mrs. Gallagher on Nacog-
doches street, and DR.. Barnitz was
summoned. Two of Mr.. Walkers RIBS
were broken and his leg badly wrench
ed, while Mrs. Walker was also injur-
ed. The horse was caught by officer
McCabe in time to avoid further dam
age.
A wagon team becoming fractions,
started to run away and the wagon ov-
erturned against Mr.. Walkers buggy
which caused the second runaway.

NOT RIGHT.

Popular Resentment of a Public Slight
Expressed.
All over the city, on every side, from
contributors to the drill fund and from
other merchants and business men
who expected at least a small return,
for their efforts at decorating and well
coming the visitors to the drill, there
comes a general roar of dissatisfaction
that the drill did not open up with a
grand street parade. or pageant
through the city. The government
troops would willingly have aided in
this and also the many militia compan-
les and their bands and the people of
this city and thousands of visitors
would have felt that their visit had not
been in vain.
The policy Of the management in ig-
noring the wishes of the populace is
generally condemned.

Corn prices have been well maintain
ed and close at top figures for the
week. The strength seems to be due
to speculative buying by people who
look at the low prices as compared with
wheat. Some large shorts were free
buyers. The situation, however, is
adverse to such advance.

THE MARKETS.

Fairchild & Hobson's cotton letter by
private wire to the Alamo Broker
age company:
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, July 1.-THE cot
ton market suffered a relapse today
and lost an average of 10 to 10 points
with the trade somewhat increased,
owing to the partial liquidation of the
long interests. The incentives have
been a poor response from Liverpool
and reports Of partial rains in Arkan-
sas and Texas, thus prolonging any
serious damage from drought in Sec
tons heretofore complaining of dry
weather. To what extent the rains
have extended cannot be definitely
stated at this writing, but the indica-
tions on the weather map were such as
to lead to the opinion that further
rains would follow. This fact will be
awaited with interest, as it will have
an important bearing on the future OF
the crop. In the meantime absolute
strength of spot cotton is such that
any material decline in the distant
future positions ought in the natural
course of events be delayed until sup
plies are more liberal.

Price, Mccormick & Co.'s cotton letter
by private wire to the Alamo Brok-
erage company:
New York, July 17.-Liverpool advic-
es this morning showing an advance
pointing. Advices were also received
to the effect that rain had fallen at
Sherman and Little Rock. Under these
influeIces opening prices were to
points lower. The reported rains in
the southwest which appear local at
present afforded the bears the oppor-
tunity they have for some time desired
and they have exerted their efforts to
depress prices, which have been in a
measure successful. Closing figures
show a net decline Of to 10 points.
The market, however, has not develop
ed any decided weakness, the decline
being due to selling by bears and liqui-
dalton by local traders as well as COM
mission houses. Unless rains become
general in the southwest, the market
would appear to have fully discounted
the rainfall at above named points.
Liverpool has bought and sold here to-
day and there has been fair local de-
mand for cotton at the decline. The
statistical situation continues to in
crease in strength and until very full
crop becomes an assured fact prices
would not appear high.

Purnell. Hagaman & Co.'S, stock letter
by private wire to Alamo Brokerage
Company:
New York,July 1.-THE stock market
opened strong and active. There vas
little selling pressure, even at the adj
vance. and the sentiment of traders
was encouraged by the belief that
large interests We're again becoming
active in the speculation. Continued
progress in the crop stimulated buying
of grangers which made new records
in most instances. ST. Paul was help
ed also by the excellent reports of
earnings which it made for the second
week of July. The strength of the
grain markets was also regarded as
favorable to the grangers. The strength
of L. & n. and Southern preferred
was again a feature. Attention is be-
ing directed to these stocks and to
some of the bonds of railroads in the
south on account of the fiattering bust
ness reports received from this
section of the country and the recent
advance in price of cotton. The an
thracites showed an inclination to adj
vance but they met with some resist
ance which several observers attribu-
ted to manipulation in connection with
the completion of opening coal deals.
B. r. T. scored a good advance on
talk of a union of traction interests
in Brooklyn. American Sugar refin-
cries was held in check account of ac-
ton in Congress on sugar tariff. Rail-
road bonds were strong and in de-
mand.

Philadelphia, June 20.-The monu-
ment erected to the memory or Harry

The ceremonies were simple and

DIAMOND DUST.
Rightfielder Jim Daily Is Released
and Will Go to Reading--TwO Re-
Ioasos m tho Snring6ald Taam

Iedses on tne SprtuSHeIu eHW'
Jim Daley has been released. He is
released to Reading, of the Atlantic
league, and will join that club on re-
ceipt of advance money and a railroad
ticket. While Daily failed to strike his
hitting gait and was on that account
a big disappointment to Manager Grif-
fin and the fans, he was long overdue
and ought to begin to stir up the At
lantic pitchers as soon as he enters
that league. 1t was with a great deal
of reluctance that Manager Griffin let
him go, but 1t was a choice between
him and Meaney, and the latter was
considered the more valuable on ac-
count of his pitching ability.
There is an important fact in con-
nection with Days release. A base
ball team is in one particular similar
to other aggregations of paid employees.
They all have their friends and if a
question arises which means a division
of good and bad fortune between two
of their number the whole outfit is
unsettled and undecisive until the thing
is at rest, For three weeks it had been
known that If Walters leg recovered,
DAILY or Meaney would be released.
Until that point was settled the team
was unconsciously divided, and the re-
suit appeared in the Indifferent team
work on the trip. There was not, how
ever, any outward sign of disagree
ment. The players were unrestful
nevertheless, and without any blame
on DAILY, but now that the. cause has
been removed, the team may be ex-
pected to be more of a unit and the
result will be shown in better work on
the field.
There were two releases on the
Springfield team yesterday. Scott
Stratton, outfielder, and Hanley, the
Philadelphia catcher, who was tried
for two innings on Saturday, are the
unfortunates. Stratton is veteran and
an ex-National league pitcher while
Hanley has hardly graduated into the
professional ranks.
Harper's streak of bad luck is broken.
The Miners may be in third place before
sunset.
Providence plays here this afternoon, to-
morrow and Wednesday.
The Miners hitting percentage was .S66
in the first game and 433 In the second.
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre will play
at Wilkes-Barre Thursday and Saturday
and here on Friday.
II the Popies had played without an
error or misplay they couldn't have won
against those 81 hits.
Gillon and Gunson will do today's bat
terry work against the Grays. The champs
got but six hits off Gillon in the Corbett
game last Wednesday. If he does nearly
as we'll today and the Miners hit bit, the
champs will lose.
In booming the fast fielding and hard
hitting outfelders OF the league, the
writer's in cities other than Scranton have
overlooked Jack O'Brien, who, on the
bases, at bat and in the amount of terri
tory covered stands about equal to any
outfiesder in the league.

SECOND GAME.

The detailed score reveals the sub
stance of the second game. Wellner
was almost untouchable, and had
given but four hits UP to the seventh.
The Miners had meanwhile put Woods
out Of the game. He was relieved by
Whitehill in the fifth. Whitehill gave
four hits for six bases in the last four
innings.
In the first inning with Fuller out
Green tripled over O'Brien's head, but
was forced by Schetller at the plate.
Two bases on balls filled the circuit
and a run was forced in by Gilbert,
who was hit by pitched ball. Dun
can flew out to O'Brien.
Fuller singled in the seventh. With
two out, Brouthers smashed a triple
to right for three bases and came in
on Bonners wild throw to third. Smith
flew out.
The batting of Eagan and Massey
was a feature. Massey singled in two
runs in the first, made q homer with
two on bases in the third and cleared
two of the three sacks by a two-baser
in the fourth, making q total of seven
runs batted in and not including two
of his own three runs. Eagan hit and
scored four times out of five at bat.

Gibbs first in the high jump and pole
vault; Frank Reese second prizes in

In the bicycle events Scranton fig
ured still more prominently. A great
surprise occurred, however, caused by
the phenomenal riding of H. B. Strong
of Penn avenue. Young Strong's work
was exceptionally fine, as will be seen
from the following summary. In the
lap race, Strong, White and Keller,
all Of Scranton, were tied for first
place, with seven points each. In the
turnover Strong and White were tie
again with ten points each to Keller's
five.

railroad rates have been secured from
Wilkes-Barre and Pittston and reg
ular county fair attendance Is expect

afternoon, but several minor events

Many collisions and accidents, which
