MARKET SUMMARY.


CHICAGO July 12.-There was very little
life to any Of the grain and provision markets
today. Light worlds shipments were an I'M
portant sustaining influence in the WheaC
market The other markets simply followed
the lead of wheat. At the close the following
changes were recorded: Wheat, 3sq12c Nigh
er; corn, lsc higher; oats shade hlgheF'
provisions. the only minor market showing
any independence closing 212c higher to DC
lower.
OF wheat it may be SAID that the market
has now fairly got into the usual nilu-
summer rut. The opening price for Septeh-
Der today vas from 65A to 65$sc' shade
under Saturdays closing price, and up to L
O'Clock the range had only EXTENDED from
65I4e to 657sc. The news was rather contra
dictory Liverpool opened weak, and de-
cidedly lower, new wheat was appearing
more literally in the leading markets, While
there was very little appearance OF foreign
buying orders. The worlds shipments, how
ever. had a builish tendency, as the amount
shipped by the various countries last week
aggregated only 4255, 900 bu, against 6,lo1,-
goo bu the week before. The visible supply
report was also buil.sh, as it showed de-
crease last week of 9I4 900 Blu, where there
had been an increase the corresponding week
last year of q 600. The receipts at Chicago
which 5 were new red winter of various
kinds. Minneapolis and Duluth reported only
24S cars, against AIS the corresponding day
last year. The government report issued
Saturday did not seem to exert much 1nfu-
ence, although the indicated crop was near
Iy 100000, coo bu less than what some OF the
private bureaus have reported. The market
touched 65lsG65hc, later in the session, but
became firm again under covering by shorts
and sold up to 657sc. 1t reacted to 653l0
$3.50, which the price at the close.
Speculative business in corn was much
smaller than of late, and operations were
largely of a scalping character, with mar
row fluctuations. The tendency during the
morning was moderately downward on the
generally favorable crop prospects. Local
shorts covered on the late rally in wheat, a
firm feeling prevailing at the close. Local
receipts were GAS cars. September opened a
shade lower at 263s92612c sold at 265sc, de-
clined to 262sc, and rallied to 263sc, where
1t closed. Oats ruled steady on light amount
of trading. There was a good visible de-
crosse. The visible supply is now 100000
blu less Than a year ago, and this fact was
the chief sustaining feature. Local receipts
were 2S4 cars. September opened a shade
higher at 18lsG18i4c, declined to 177sG1Sc,
and rallied to 1SA41S3sc, which was the
closing price. In provisions the consideration
was the enormous hog receipts, some 11,000
more than expected. This cause a very weak
opening, and liquidation from all sources
resulted in further losses. The market
rallied later, however, with the grain mar

CALDWELL GOES WEST
To Protect the Roads in His Passen-
ger Association.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Chairman Caldwell, of
the Western Passenger association left to-
night for San Francisco for the purpose of
taxing charge of the east-bound Christian En-
deavor business for all the roads Of the asso-
citation A meeting of the association was
held today, and after the situation had been
thoroughly discussed it was decided that the
best thing was for the chairman to go to
san FRANCISCO In person, and see that the
rates and arrangements for the convention
are carried out Mr.. Caldwell has the most
ample powers, and no matter what action
Francisco, the roads of his association will
back him up to the fullest extent The sit
uat1on in San Francisco has become quite
serious, and the Western roads are deter
mined to prevent the impending demoraliza-
tion if they can.
There are three things in which the West
ern roads claim that the agreement is being
violated. One is the action of the Colorado
and Utah roads in allowing stop-overs after
1t was agreed that no stop-overs should be
allowed on east-bound tickets, save by the
Northern transcontinental roads, which re-
NAMED out of the competition for the west
bound business, when this was guaranteed to
them. The roads OF the Western Passenger
association now will make every effort to see
that the Northern roads are treated accord
ing to the contract. Another matter is the
action of the Southern Pacific in extending
the time of sale for the return tickets. which
the Western roads believe will result in a
decentralization of rates. The third matter is
the reported payment of commissions in San
Francisco, which is contrary to the agree
ment: All these things will be locked into
by Chairman Caldwell, and he will take such
action as he deems advisable. All that the
Western reads desire is to prevent any de-
moralzation in rates, and to see that good
faith is kept with the Northern transcont:-
mental roads.
Secretary Flynn, of the Colorado-Utah as
ISOLATION, has reported that SO far this sea-
sen over 500 of the Sebastian tourist tickets
have been deposited at his agency, and the
most diligent search has failed to find the
return portion of any one of these tickets
in the hands of the brokers' General Pas
senger Agent Sebastian, of the Rock Island.
who is the inventor of the ticket, claimed

out.

JAPAN'S NEXT MOVE.
1t Is Awaited With Some Interest by
the State Department..

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Hawaii has
offered to refer to arbitration the i'm
migration question pending between
herself and Japan, but the Toxic gov
eminent has so far ignored the prop
osition. Telegraphic information to
this effect has been received at the
state department, and it is therefore
possible to deny the report published
that Japan had agreed to arbitrate the
veXed question she is discussing with
the Hawaiian government. The Ha-
Waiian authorities did not expect that
Japan would accept arbitration In
fact before Minister Shimumure began
his correspondence with Mr. Cooper
in regard to the matter, he declared
that his government would never con-
sent to arbitration. At that time neith-
er he nor his government had any idea
that the strong arm of the United
States was soon to be thrown around
Hawaii, and it was because of this
ignorance, state department officials
say. that Japan assumed such a COM
handing tone in her negotiations with
the little republic.
In view of Mr.. Coopers reiterated
refusal to comply with Japan's demand.
a great deal of interest is being taken
in Diplomatic and state department
circles here as to the next move the
government will make. 1t is the gen.
eral impression now that the matter
will be laid before the state depart
ment, and a strong demand made that
this government see that Japan's rights
in the matter are allowed. 1t is the
general expectation in administration
circles that whether the senate ratifles
the pending annexation treaty or fails
to take action during the present SEES
sion, this government will have to set
tie the immigration question with
ia ran.

SPAULDING TRIAL SENSATION.
of the Defense Upset by
Prof. ShattJIcl'S Evidence

CHICAGO, July 12.-In the trial of Elk
Bank President Charles w. Spaulding for
embezzlement today, Prof. S. w. Shattuck,
of the University of Illinois, created a SEN
sation by declaring that there was enough
money in the general fund of the university
to meet all warrants drawn up to the date
the bonds were hypothecated by Spaulding.
At the former trial Spaulding commended that
he hypOthecated the endowment bonds in or
der to secure money with which to meet
warrants issued by the officials of the uni
versity, and the same line of defense has
been adopted in the present trial. The at
torneys for the defense, will attempt to show
an entirely different state of affairs than
that shown by Prof. Shattuck's testimony.
