CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. June T.-Damage reports from try where harvesting is under way created bullish sentiment in wheat at the start. The weather in Great Britain was unfavorable. Paris Antwerp and Budapest complaining of continuous rain, and Great Britain joined fin the same complaint. In addition ports of poor yields, compared with previous expectations came from almost every uar- ter of the American winter wheat region where harvesting had been completed. There was considerable short interest in the market and found upon examination to stand inspection, there was a general effort to cover. But the same situation which induced the shorts to buy checked the offerings, and with very lit- tie for sale there was lively competition which resulted in better prices Closing quotations from abroad showed decline at Antwerp of 25sc a bushel This, together with some osten- elevator concern. sent the price down to 71c for July and 6612c for September. The crowd was short, however, and on some good buying the market rallied quickly and closed the top for the day. July closed 1Ac higher and September 1c higher.
 IL was changing market in corn. with the price improved somewhat in sympathy with wheat July left off with gain of Ac.
 Oats were steady to shade higher at the start, but prices eaSed off later with the other grains. The market closed the bottom on heavy selling by country traders July de- clined i4c.
 Heavy receipts of hogs and the apparent ur- pressed provisions. The close is at a slight re- covery from bottom prices. Pork lost 21ac; lard 5dTi1c, and ribs 7l2c.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

CANNED SALMON IN ENGLAND.

The market for spot salmon continues steady and unchanged, says the London Grocers Ga zette of June Il, but the inquiry has shown some improvement consequent on the warmer weather during the week. A meeting of the British Columbia salmon combination has been held. at which the prices for the 1898 pack were fixed as follows: Unla.beled lib flats
 or ''souats" lSs Cd for 400 to 500 case lots, down to IFS Cd for lots of 10000 cases; l-Ib tails" 17s Sd for 400 to 500 case lots, and Is per case less for lots of over 10000 cases 1s-lD flats 24s 3d. down to 23s Sd for similar quanti- ties labeled prices for. 1-1b flats are lss. down to lSs; lib tails, 17s Sd, down to les Sd, and 5S-lb iats. 24s 9d, down to 23s 9d. the prices in each case being for the quantities enumerated above. Prices for Skeena River are fixed at Cd per case less than above prices and Rivers Inlet Is per case less. There is 80 little fruit left on the market to be dealt with that bust- ness appears slow. but this is entirely owing to the absence of supplies, prices continuing very firm For the 1898 pack few canners will fix price. and those that are making con tracts are only doing at considerably above the rates paid for last seasons goods.

"MULBERRY SELLERS"
Why 1t Was That Mark Twain Had to Re-
name the Hero of "The GIlded
Age"

One day while Mark Twain and
Charles Dudley Warner were walking
together they happened to begin a
discussion of the modern novel and
one or the other suggested that it
might be good plan to burlesque it.
Later, while journeying together to
Boston, this suggestion took definite
shape and on their return work was
begun, one author writing a chapter,
the other taking up the threads of the
story the next day, and both critically
examining the result each evening and
asking the opinion of their wives as to
the success of each stage of the under
taking. Finally they collected all the
manuscript, of which there was too
great quantity, and jointly con-
densed it 1t was owing to a sugges-
ton by Mr.. Warner that the chief
character in the tale was called Col.
Eschol Sellers, and it is fact that
the man whose name was taken-a
man supposed to be long dead-made
a fiery demand for satisfaction, visit
ing Hartford for that purpose. In
later editions of the story the name
"Eschol" was changed to Mulberry"

Senator Morgan So Labels Reports Of What
HawaiTs Particular Form OF Govern
ment VIII Be.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Senator Nor
gan, of the Hawaiian commission,
called at the white house yesterday
for conference with the president.
The senator said that the members of
the commission would meet here about
November 90 and prepare and present
their report to the president and con-
gress, He declined to discuss the re-
port or the views of the commission
ers, further than to say that the
published reports of what the
commission would recommend were
wrong in every essential particular.
The senator, in speaking of the Philip
pine question, said that in his judg-
ment the United States should retain
possession of the whole group of is
lands, giving to the natives the right
to govern themselves within certain
limitations and under the general SUI
pervisory control of the United States
