Local observations Tuesday.


There are great, gray seas that battle the blue
Wherever the eye may turn;
There's a gray-cloaked horde Of hidden hells
That gloat as they glow and burn;
The bells are the fires in the heart OF the hold
OF each ship whose feet the waves enfold.
There's doom in the air,
Though the skies fair,
When fleets hover over the sea.
Above the gray hulls on the great gray sea
Are men with hearts of steel;
And they stand and serve great, ravenous mouths
With many a murderous meal;
And never sign will the great mouths give
CWhen they speak there is nothing in front may
lived
Till some hulkS dead black
Slip in through the crack
Twixt the sky and the great. gray sea.
Above the men and the mouths they feed
Floats a flag like the dawn and night;
There are stripes of red and field of blue.
With streakings and stars pure white;
Were 1t not for that flag with stripes and stars
There were never a heart in the poor Jack tars
When the rim
OF the sea there skim
Black hulks meath the blood and gold"
When the banners of red and gold draw near
Gray hels on the great, gray sea.
The big. grim mouths with the voice Of doom
Speak out for a people free.
Then the bulls of the raven hue 60 down,
While the blood OF their turns the gray sea
brown
When our dead-shot tars
Meath the stripes and stars
Meet the men of blood and gold.

WHEAT FUTURES BREAK
LOWER CABLES AND FINE CROP
PROSPECTS CAUSED SELLING.
Letter Held Up May and June wheat,
but All Other Markets Went on,
Pork Declining ~ lie.

CHICAGO, May 24.-Selling by longs, to-
prospects, caused another break in wheat
to-day. July is 11ac lower. and September
declined 15sQ2c. Corn lost 1G11sc and oats
1@1Ac. Provisions showed declines of 2715c
for pork zoe for lard and 1215Q15c for ribs.
The bulk of speculative business in wheat
to-day was confined to September and De-
cember. and in view of the lower foreign
markets and the prospect of big crops on
both sides of the ocean holders got discour-
aged and sold out, and scalpers sold short
making weak market. July was heard Of
at considerable intervals and was appar-
emily kept well in hand by Letter brokers,
and the latter also took occasion at times
when September and December appeared to
be getting too weak to let the crowd know
the high worth of May and June wheat.
Liverpool cables were 1Q2d lower. Among
the bearish items of the days news was a
report that France had supplies enough until
harvest, which will commence in the south
ern part of that country July l. Reports
were of favorable character generally re-
garding the domestic crop situation, and
from Oklahoma Territory to the effect that
the harvesting had commenced there and
would be in full swing by the end of the
weak. The Chicago receipts were ACT cars,
against u last year. and Minneapolis and
Duluth got $50 cars. Atlantic port clear
ances of wheat and flour were again heavy,
being equal to 697, 600 bushels. July started
1Q2c lower al $1.09G1.1O, sold up to $11O1a, de-
clined to $1.0912, then up again to $1.lO1s at
the close. September began 1AG112c off at
Sl73QSSc advanced to 8814c, weakened to
SlAc, then rallied to S7A@S73sc, the closing
hgures. May and June were unchanged.
A large and speculative business was done
IN corn at declining prices. The weakness
IS due chiefly to Improvement in weather.
The heaviness of September wheat also had
its injury to the value of cocn. Receipts
were $50 cars. July opened 3sc off at 1870
549Sc, advanced to 34a4Q347sc, then declined
steadily to 341sc, the final quotation.
The heavy selling by May longs was held
responsible for good share of the decline
Ac lower at 25Q255sc, declined to 253sM 2515c,
back again to 255sc, then declined steadily
to- 247sc, the closing figure.
mere was evidence of provisions being
sold by the packing houses to-day. Every
thing was weak, and hog products felt the
decline in corn. Hogs were &c lower. July
pork started 15G1712c off at $12 20Q12 221R,
sold up to $12271a, fell back to $11.S712,
and flrmed up to $l1.971a at the close. July

weakened to $6.0712, then up to $6.1219. the
at $6O5qS.0719, sold off to $3.50, then ad-
vanced and closed at $597A.

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY
VIII Deposit TO-Day-Seeking a Site
for the Exchange.

The New Telephone Company will de-
post with the city controller the remain
ing $1,000 of the $25. 900 which It's contract
with the city requires this morning. The
officers say that they were ready to de-
post the cash several days ago, but that
Controller Johnson preferred that the de-
post be made at a meeting of the Board
of Public Works.
The officers of the company have been
industriously hunting for satisfactory site
for the exchange of the new system. Sew
eraI places have been offered to them and
two or three business men have proposed
to erect building for the especial use of
the company. Nothing final has been done
in the matter. Specifications for the ap-
paratus of the new system have been sent
to manufacturers and bids will be received
June G. The company will purchase three
thousand telephones and the indications are
that it will have no trouble in placing them.
The fees will be $24 year for residences
and $40 for business houses. The local sys-
tenn will be connected with all Of the other
independent systems of the State.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, May A-Weather conditions are
alleged to be the chief factor in delaying trade
in dry goods. Sellers say that many expected
sales have been held back by the rainy days OF
this month. 1t is pointed out that there have
been only two days in the present month in which
II has not rained Outside of these there
conditions which warrant the assertion that there
is any change in the market. The heavy curtail-
ment in the production of print cloths has proved
stimulating feature although no sales at better
than 15-16c were reported. The export trade is
also well sustained, but staple lines Of dry goods
in all lines are quiet. There is no change In the
situation OF woolens. Staple cottons still
quiet. Print fabrics are quiet. There have been
further sales OF stocks of dress goods and some
fancy lines at concessions, but outside OF these
there is not enough actual inquiry to warrant this
placing of statesmen on the road Ginghams are
still strong, with a we-sustained demand re-
ported. One leading line has been advanced 40
