NUMEROUS CAUSES TEND TO PUT
1T UNDER THE
WEATHER.
BULLS VERY DISCOURAGED.
STATISTICS ENTIRELY FAILED
THEM, THOUGH APPARENTLY
THEIR WAY.
SPECULATIVE SITUATION DULL.
Foreigners Not Good Customers
Rally, However, May BE
Looked For.

0CHlCAGO, May 3O.-The Times-Her-
AIDS review Of the grain markets to-
morrow will say: Dizziness of spec
ulation, cheapness Of the other grains,
fine spring wheat prospects, harvesting
in the extreme Southwest, and contin-
ued Indifference abroad, combined to
make q sick wheat market. Prices
dropped SC TO &c during the week. The
incident was the partial loss of cash
premiums in the winter wheat markets.
Some Of the most pertinacious of the
bulls let go, discouraged because, with
SO many of their expectations realized,
the price had not acted as they had
anticipated 1t would. The statistics
had not entirely failed them. The de-
crease in stocks had been as steady and
rapid as they had predicted. The for
eigners, however. had surprised them
by getting along with only moderate
purchases from America. The loss OF
the Argentine, Australian and Indian
supplies had not counted as it was sup
posed 1t would The Northwest crop
had, as usual, proved larger than any
body counted it.
The speculative situation Is now
without much interest. There are more
shorts than there were, but it would
not take very long nor require much
rally to Hquidate the trade. Cash
handlers up to fortnight ago were
bullish. They are as bearish now as
any. The sealboard foreigners, the
Southwest and the local talent are all
of the same mind IF there were carry
ing charges there would be great
deal of short selling. The fact that
September is almost 4c under July de-
ters that and helps to keep the trade
slow. There should be some reaction
after six days decline, but the pit is so
dull that even the old speculative rules
do not work. A rally, however, is the
reasonable thing to look for just now.
Export clearances will be large early in
June. The price is not nearly so high
as it was a. month ago, and the present
September price may not look high at
all when it becomes beyond dispute
that the winter wheat yield is as small
as everybody has been talking.
The new rule making No northern
and No. 2 red the contract grades Oh
AMI after Oct. 1 will naIp the Decem-
Der and everything from October for
ward. 1t may depress the Sente:nber.
Coarse grains were weak without de-
clining much-corn off 1A0l:5c and
oats off 1h@Ac for the week. The corn
situation is getting different from the
oats. It's reserve is enormous, one
bear circumstance, and it's new area is
increased and its condition high, still
further bear influences.
The oats position is not so unquali-
fedly bearish. The country reserve is
probably large. but the new crop
promise is for a greatly reduced yield.
The assumption of every interest is
that the growing area is a good deal
less than 1896, and the increase Of
stock raising abroad, due to the low
price of grains and the poor profit in
the old style of farming, has created
probably permanently an increased
foreign demand for all American
stuffs.

The Much-Wanted Wall Street "Pro-
mOter', Is Located.

NEW YORK. May 31.-A dispatch to
the Press from Pittsburg says: DR.. G.
Hamilton Griffin, the Wall street pro-
moter of many companies, for Whom
many persons have been looking re- re-
Gently, has been discovered at No. TT
Wylie avenue, in this city, where he
ia living with his wife and four
months-old son under the name OF
Jean Baptiste Leblanc. He has been
here since April 27, and has not been
out of the house since May 2S. when
New York papers published his picture
and record He was recognized by this
picture and the fact that he wrote
prescription which was filled in a drug
store This prescription was printed
on a note head, on which was en-
graved a crest, which crest was also
printed on his cards. A press repre-
sentative called ON the doctor and
asked him if he were not the man
whom so many creditors were huntln2.
He admitted he was DR.. Griffin, but
ssid all the companies in wh1ch ne was
interested were legitimate business
concerns, and that he had not been
guilty Of any wrong.
His wife then visited the local news
paper offices and pleaded with the ed1-
tors to keep out Of print the news that
the doctor was in town. She said her
husband had been sick and in trouble,
and it would be an act of mercy to
keep his identity secret. She Wept,
and admitted that about one-f1fth OF
the charges against her husband were
true But she said he was not as bad
a man as painted.
The doctor ordered diamonds worth
5000 since he came to this city, but
has been living at retired and quiet
boarding house. He was also anxious
to keep his identity from becoming
public, but the police were informed,
and have sent out notices to New
York and San Francisco that he is in
the city and being watched, and will
be arrested If wanted.
Griffin said he did not fear to face
his accusers, and he could prove that
all his business transactions were hon
est He promoted companies capital
ized at many millions.

result will be depends upon the con- COZ

some enthusiasm. Can man have
read Virgil and Milton and Shakes
peare and not carry with him the
love OF the beautiful and the good! :!
Can a man have studied the orations
of Demosthemes and not learn patriot
ism? Can he have read history only
to learn some wise saws to guide him
to political success? Can the flood Of
the religions of all the world pour
down upon his heart and leave it
dry? Can he have studied philosophy

thusiasm of the present leads on to
greater heights in the future.
FINALLY, l want you to study that
paradox OF Jesus, He that gaineth his
life loseth it; and he that loseth his
life finds it, It is a law of our being
that we must find by losing; we must
beget by giving; we must acquire by
remuneration, and we must die to be re-
newed for the higher life The CROWN
Ing virtue of character is the divine
altruism. Christ pleased not himself;
He went about doing good. Be it
yours to follow his example
And now, as we come to the part
ing of the ways. let me .thank you all
Tor the good work you have done within
this institution; for your good in
Huences upon your fellow students

hope that the days you spent at the

pleasant memory. Farewell"
