YESTERDAYS MARKETS.

Cuthbert & Go. say: Wheat was weak again yesterday, with more liquidation and absence of support. Reports came also of damage to wheat and corn by cold weather, which reports were later denied and were followed by more fa- vorable private crop accounts, stating that harvesting was progressing rapid ly in Texas and Oklahoma. The later reports were supplemented by favor able weekly government crop report. Then the market broke and sold down to the basis of 1B@1% cents from Sat urday's final quotations to the basis of 661a for July and 631a for September. Liquidation by small holders was gen. eral, and foreign houses sold freely on the break to hedge their interests and early purchases. In the late trading some moderate exports business devel- oped, and on covering of shorts prices rallied 5s from the lowest and closed steady at a net decline of 114 cents for July and F for September from Satur- days prices.
 The favorable report of Burlington earnings and the passage of the gas bills by the Illinois legislature were followed by heavy realizing sales, es- pecially in the grangers. Room trad CTS were working for a reaction.

The Saints tried new man, Mccarthy, in the box, and the New Haven team got on to him and made seven runs in the fifth inning, tying the score. Maher went in then and the home team won in the tenth inning. Both teams hit hard but the fielding was loose owing to the condition of the ground. The score was 16 to 12. The batteries were, Mccarthy, Mahen and Dempsey for the St. Aloysius team, and Horan and Cal lahan for the New Haven team.

ARE sHAD RoEs POISONOUS?
A Peculiar Case Reported From Ham
 burgh.

Middletown, June IA somewhat mysterious poisoning case occurred in Hamburgh (Lyme), a few days ago. Mrs. Alfred Lester purchased an un- usually large roe shad and invited some relatives to dinner. They were Roscoe Jewett, son of Robert Jewett, door, keeper in the legislature; Mrs. Henry Parker and Miss Carrie Parker.
 The roes were cooked in the usual way and partaken of by Mrs. Lester and her guests. A short time after wards MT Jewett was attacked with violent vomiting, accompanied by in- tense pain. pr. Josiah Ely, the resi- dent physician, was summoned, but be- fore he reached there a messenger was dispatched for him to attend Mrs. Par ker, who was suffering in the same manner as MT. Jewett. Mrs. Lester and Mss Parker were also attacked with like symptoms which the doctor at once said were evidences of poison ing.
 By assiduous efforts the patients were relieved beyond the danger point, but for several hours they were in a serious condition. The doctor was unable to tell from what source the poison came, but as the patients all ate heartily of the roes he is of the opinion that they might have been responsible for the illness.

Will Be Some Fast Shoppers at the
 Local Meet.
 With the reopening of Charter Oak Park the trotting industry in this state has taken on a new life and the va rious association which have talked of not giving any races this season are falling into line and claiming dates. The revival of horse racing in this city last season has helped to boom the horse market locally and there are more fast horses owned here this season than ever before. Each man wants to have one better than his neighbor and as there are many who doubt the abilities of their neighbor's horses to best their own it is likely that the question of supremacy will be settled by several at the race meeting of the New Haven Driving association, which takes place next Wednesday and Thursday, the en- tries for which close on Friday, June 4, at F p. m.
