JOE LETTERS WATERLOO.


His Big Wheat Deal Ends i'm Disaster and
Loss to Him.
Young Joe Letters big wheat deal has
come to a most disastrous conclusion and
instead of winning S4,500,000, as was
supposed would be the case, he is out
about that much, and his father will no
doubt liquidate the claims. The big fall
in wheat prices caused the trouble for
the young plunger.
How did Letters troubles begin? is
asked in variety of ways and in every
quarter and a Chicago despatch answers
thus: His drafts against cash wheat
shipped at very high prices began to
trouble him when the price here collapsed.
A draft against wheat on basis of SLID
bushel does not look well to the ac-
ceptor. Letters troubles became the
most serious, however, up in the North
west, where he has had his big holdings.
Since the close of the May deal he had
about 100000 bushels of cash wheat at
Minneapolis and Duluth. Saturday he
secured ? 2,OOO,O 900 bushels of it through
one concern at Duluth. He had million
bushels of wheat bought of one elevator
concern at Minneapolis at over $l'4O.
That one lot of wheat showed loss of
almost So, ,000, 900, and it was not bought
so long ago either. People who have
had chance to get look at the list of
Letters holdings say that the prices he
paid of late for wheat in the Northwest
were astounding. 1t was probably due
to a desperate effort to support casn
prices everywhere and to protect his
bills of ladng. A collapse in the North
west meant collapse everywhere, and
that meant more margin calls. 1t is moi
remarkable that most of the big grain
men at Minneapolis and Duluth were
down here at the Auditorium Sunday.
Joe Letters weakness all through his
deal has been his lack of appreciation OF
quantity. He was willing TO buy any
market to a standstill in order to accom-
plish his purpose. 1t was no secret
among the few closest to the Letters
that the refusal of the father to furnish
his son further capital was due to the
discovery that the younger man had moi
followed out the plan agreed upon IL
MAY, when the elder put up $1,000, 900 ol
securities to see the deal through the
crisis, at any time. The father made
that sacrifice Loyalty, but it was under
stood then that every effort of the
younger man should be from that time
forward toward liquidation. There de
veloped within the last few days th'
knowledge that the young bull leader
had again taken on enormous new risks
in the Northwest. That discovery pre-
cipitated the latest crisis. 1t is rumore(
here that L. G. Letter has sold $1,000
shares of Burlington and Baltimore a
New York in order to get ready cash.

This Is ,"OmciaI" Information.

The information of the presence In
Santiago harbor of the fleet of Admiral
Cervera may now be said to be "official.' =
Last Saturday Lieut.. Victor Blue of the
L. S. gunboat Suwanee went ashore and
with guides succeeded in reaching q
point overlooking the harbor. He re-
turned to the fleet on Monday and re-
ported to Admiral Sampson that he
distinctly saw and definitely located
four Spanish armored cruisers and two
torpedo boat destroyers, and also three
small cruisers or gunboats. This should
settle once for all any doubt which may
still exist on the point.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
The Weather Was Perfect for the Week
Ending June 13.

The Weather Was Perfect for the Week
Ending June 13.
The weather conditions have been
almost perfect for the development of
crops throughout New England during
the past week. In Maine the local rains
of the 9th were quite heavy and washed
hillsides badly and flooded lowlands in
the vicinity of Dixfield, Oxford Co. In
northern Vermont there is lack of rain,
and crops are beginning to show the
effect of the drought. This is the except
ion however, as all other districts report
most favorable conditions, with fine
progress made in work and vegetable
growth. The rain fall was heavist in
Maine and least in Rhode Island
Favored by sufficient rainfall in most
portions of the district, and warm
weather, crops of all kinds have grown
rapidly in New England during the week
past. Planting is about all done, and
aided by the warm, moist weather the
plants have good start. In southern
sections, where too wet soil gave weeds
much advantage, cultivation is in prog
ress, as it is in the other portions of the
district. Haying will soon begin. Re-
ports indicate that in week grass will
be cut. Although some crops have been
seriously delayed in growth by weeks of
unfavorabe conditions the outlook now,
with few exceptions, is quite promising
throughout New England.
Nothing has occurred to interrupt the
luXuriant growth of grass in New Eng
land during the past seven days. A
heavy crop of hay now is looked for
with confidence. The cutting of grass
will soon begin. Reports from Maine
state that owing to the favoring weather
haying will begin from a week to ten
days earlier than usual. In southern
sections the crop is somewhat late.
Pastures have benefited by the con-
ditions that have so much favored now
ing fields. Throughout the district crop
correspondents are unanimous in report
ing splendid growth.
Corn is early in Maine, but is reported
about as usual in most other states
There is much complaint of rotting OF
seed sown, and that which has come ur
is very irregular. except in portions OF
Vermont and New Hampshire, where
good progress is reported. Cultivation
of this crop is under way.
Rye and oats are generally doing very
well. The former is heading nicely ant
is in blossom.
In Maine and New Hampshire cater
pillars are most destructive to fruit
Reports from kennebec and OXFORD
counties indicate that the fruit prospects
are about ruined there by the pest. Ii
New Hampshire and Vermont the out
look is less favorable than it was weel
ago. The southern states have promis
of good yield, except that peaches ant
plums are a small crop in Massachusetts,
Potatoes have had most favorabl
week, and under cultivation are growing
rapidly. The beetle is damaging tn
crop in Maine and Massachusetts. Pea
are blooming. Asparagus, under favor
ing conditions has improved much
Garden truck in general is reported to b
doing very well.

s. & W. BOARD CLERKSHIPS
Fight Over the Appointment of
Extra Men Promises to
Be Very Sharp.

The Street and Water Commissioners
will meet on Wednesday i~nafuture. 1t was
impossible for Commissioner Smith to at
tend the Monday afternoon meetings.
The sessions of the Street and Water
Board promise to lively during the next
year and it was deemed expedient 20
have the regular meetings hxed LOT seu-
nesday as Colonel Smiths vote will doubt
less DE required on many occasions. Water
Assessor McGrath has asked for the
appointment of TWO extra clerks IN the
Water Department during the rush 70 pay
water taxes. The two clerks Will be APP
pointed at next Wednesdays meeting.
The resolutions of appointment VIII pc
vetoed by Mayor Hoos.
Mayor Hoos and Commissioners Heintze
and Boltwool say the appointment OF extra
clerks is IN unnecessary waste OF money.
They have proposed to Assessor Nc
Grath and Commissioners Nolan, Hauck
and Smith. that Reassesors Losel ana
Ennis who have little or nothing to do
just now, be detailed to do clerical work
in the Water Department until the rush
in the Assessors office is over
Mayor Hoos, if that arrangement IS
made, will allow George Berger to be APP
pointed to succeed Henry simon
deceased. Nolan, Hauck and Smith, how
ever, insist upon the retention of Losel
and Ennis on the reassessors payroll ana
the right to appoint John sweeney n
Charles Freelan extra clerks. II they
cannot have Sweeney and Fsreeiand named
they will not stand for Berger. who is
Commissioner Helntze>S personal appoint
,ment.
The fight over these c~lerkships will be
the first in which the combination will
be arrayed against BoltwOOd and HeintZe-
The latter are masters of the situation,
however. as Mayor Hoos mas declared that
he will take sides with Heintze and Bolt
wood whenever they make a stand against
the increase of expenses in any branch
of the Water Department Commission
ers Heinaze and Boltwood both say that
there is absolutely no occasion to appoint
more clerks in the Water Department.
THE rush to pay water rents that we
near so much about is mythical said
one of the Commissioners this morning.
LAS a matter of fact water rents are not
coming in any faster than they were when
we were enforcing the payment of ar
rearages. The clerks were not over
worked then and the prospects is not such
as to warrant that any Of the gentlemen
will be caused to suffer from nervous
prostration by reason of any rush. We
have all the men we want now. By
detailing some to do work in the As
SCISSORS office we can keep the city's ex-
penses at least 81, 6C0 a year. Such a
saving will be beneficial just at his
time"
