Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, June 29.-Wheat started
strong on the wholly unexpected advance
at Liverpool. Crop damage reports con-
was fairly f favorable. good deal Of COM
plant was based on the assertion that ow-
Ing. to the excess Of moisture, the heads
had been but poorly filled, so that the yield
was extremely disappointing. The scat
tered threshing returns which came from
the fields seemed to confirm this view of the
situation. The result was that shorts Ne
Started to cover, the demand giving an-up-
ward turn to prices. The market remained
firm, but without much animation, until
after the middle of the session, when the
strength. The crop damage reports were
too persistent and general to be doubted
any longer. and tho covering of short
wheat, WHICH had In the forenoon been con
ness, became too general for the business
to retain its early undemonstrative charac-
ter. An hour from the, close trading be,
came heavy and somewhat excited at odd
moments, and the price rose rapidly and
materially, September reaching Coo. a gain
of 2ssc, and July advancing 2Mc, selling at
7sAc. After this impro.yement there hs,I, was vas
the short account to cause slight reac-
ton. Liverpool opened I'd. higher for July
and, I'D. up for later deliveries. At the
than than at the opening. and later deliveries
were about as they had opened. At the
close here July. was 1ssc higher and Sep
TENDER 2Hc higher than yesterday.
Good buying by shorts in July and prom
inent longs in September, together with the
strength in wheat, advanced corn. July
closed NG01c higher.
Covering by shorts, unfavorable weather
forecasts and the rally In wheat and corn
were the reasons for the strength in oats.
July closed with a gain Of NC.
Lower prices at the yards and lnrge hog

Liability of Bondsmen

A decision has recently been rendered by
the circuit court at Cleveland, Ohio, which
Is OF great interest to the building trades,
involving as 1t does the question of the
extent of ultimate liability of a contractors
bondsman. Substantially the decision holds
that any person or corporation signing a
bond for contractor in the erection Of
building is responsible for the payment
of the material used in the building, and
also for the laboring mems wages. Peter
]. Black had entered into a contract with
the school council for the erection of the
Sowinski street school, in Cleveland, the
American Surety company furnishing his
bond. After he ceased work on the con-
tract he owed money to some 60 workmen
and also to number of material men. A
Mr.. j. o. Reader bought up number of
the claims of the workmen and presented
them to the surety company for payment
The company alleged that they were not
liable under the bond for claims of this ma
ture. Reader then commenced suit against
the company in the common pleas court
The case was tried before Judge Dellen-
baugh, who held that the bond signed by
the company rendered them liable for the
payment of all labor and material used in
the building. The company took excep-
TOMS to his opinion, and appealed the case
to the circuit court. That court rendered
an opinion confirming the decision of the
lower court in every particular.-Builder
and Contractor.

Commissioner Clunie Set Back

A few days ago State Insurance Commits
sioner Clunie's victory in effecting COM
promise under which the foreign insurance
companies contribute their quota of taxa
| tlon as provided by law was duly noted.
Now, the commissioner has received a set
back in an attempt made by him in another
direction to suspend the certificates of in
surance companies unless they complied
exactly with his requirements. Judge Nor
row Of the United States Circuit court has
rendered his decision in the five suits
brought against the commissioner by
eighty-three insurance companies doing
business in California. The several actions
were brought to restrain Clunie from re-
voking the certificates of the plaintiff COM
panies and also to prevent his collecting
the tax imposed under the act Of 1885. The
petitions of the insurance companies were
all sustained, Judge Morrow holding that
the decision of the supreme court of the
state in declaring the act imposing the tax
Unconstitutional was just and proper de-
)cision. He also decided the action of the
commissioner in declaring the bonds of the
companies invalid was illegal. In his de-
lcision he said: 1.-THE duty of the copmis-
soner is partly ministerial and partly dis.
cretionary. With respect to the perform
ance of those duties in which he exercises
discretion in good faith the courts will not
review his judgment or restrain his ac-
ton, but the discretion he may thus ex
ercise must be a legal discretion and within
the Limitation of his authority. He cannot
act arbitrarily or capriciously or In disre-
gard of law, and when he Is called upon by
the court to answer tho charge that his
conduct is Illegal, oppressive and injurious
he should be able to present such facts as
will clearly show that he is acting under
authority and within the jurisdiction of
his office. 1t Is true the defendant alleges
In his affidavit that in rejecting the bonds
filtered and rendered by the complainants
Ind in holding them to be insufficient and
invalid he did so after an examination into
the matter and in the exercise of the dis
erection conferred upon him by law, but
from other facts alleged by the complain
ants and not denied by the defendant this
allegation appears to be in the nature of
an opinion which the defendant himself
formed as to the character of his own acts
in the premises. That there have been
evils in the administration of the insurance
law may be admitted; that the defendant
believes 1t to be his duty to make the office
of commissioner efficient and of substantial
benefit to the public may be also conceded,
but 1t does not follow that he may adopt
any course or pursue any method that will
accomplish the purpose he has in view.
The law furnishes thu guide and regulates
the performance of official conduct and
will be construed as comforting those pow
ers only which are expressed, imposed or
