CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. May 5.-Liverpool set the ball rolling in the wheat market by reporting other sensational advance there at the open ing the gain In July compared with the pre- vious days closing quotation being equal to about 7c bushel. The reason for the Liver pool advance was of the Continental competition for the wheat cargoes and ar irving off coast in the United Kingdom and the greater activity of France and Antwerp importers to secure them. The grain duties having been abolished in France. Italy and Spain, leaves those countries to dispute with the United Kingdom for possession of the wheat it arrives off coast the other given by the removal of the duties, justified apparently to the full the conviction with which Letter started in last July to buy wheat. The Continental nations by throwing off the i'm have been practically exhausted. Active com petition at Liverpool has caused a rapid ad- force of the famine was not felt in this mar ket until to-day. At the present time July bears have sold freely, expecting to All their contracts out of the crop. But the May options appear to be controlled entirely by Joseph Letter. who, if to-days market can be taken indication, holds the few who are still short to him in a death grip

Closing cables from abroad showed ad- vances of 7lkc at London, SC at Liverpool. 4c at Antwerp and 6c at Paris. Then Letter capped the climax by announcing the sale of ?. 0oo 900 bushels of No. red to a French syn dicate at s1 47 per bushel. In addition Letter sold 750. coo bushels in odd lots.

MINISTER KINGS TOUR.
Tells People OF nawaii what viii b'
Done by Government.

Tells Poopie OF hawaii what VIII he
Done by Government.
Minister King is on Hawaii and
will do the Hilo, Puma, Kau and
Kona districts for the purpose of
getting everything in order to push
ahead the public works authorized
by the last Legislature, 80 soon as
the loan money is available from
the bonds now being sold. 1t is
intended to have all the works
authorized completed by July l,
at which time, according to pre-
sent indications, the Government
of Hawaii will be transferred in
toto to the United States.
These works include among
many other matters, the compile
ton of the circuit of Hawaii by a
Government road, the extention
and widening of Pitman, Bridge
and other Hilo streets, and road
extensions in Kaumsna, Kaiwiki,
Olaa, Puma and on the other side
of the island. The improvement
in Postoffice and Custom House
buildings will be reserved for the
action of the United States Gov
prnment. The Kaumana road
will be thoroughly repaired and
widened out of current expenses,
even if it costs more than the
S250O appropriated.
Minister King says that this
Government has done more in
real improvement and extension
during the past six years than the
previous government did in twen-
ty years, and when this proposed
work is completed he thinks they
have no occasion to be ashamed of
their activity in this line. There
have been mistakes in judgment,
but there has been also sincerely
of purpose and honesty OF expen-
diture. Minister King and Mr..
Rowell leave today for Puma and
tomorrow will meet the Olas
coffee planters at Mountain View.
They 60 thence to the Volcano,
