GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price, Current of las
Thursday says
The week has been somewhat lack
| ing in seasonable warmth, and thu
has not been forcing the Vegetation, in
most of the agricultural districts. Thi
condition has served to hinder corr
planting to some extent, but it is moi
yet late for this crop in the larger pro
Gucing sections, and with an early
change to genial temperature and suit
able moisture this grain would secure
satisfactory start.
The various features, early and late,
which have been more or less adverse
to the oats crop, appear likely to re-
suit in some reduction in area in this
grain. The condition of the crop is ir-
regular. 1t is possible to secure fair
results, under favorlng condition here
after.
The adYices concerning winter. wheat
do not modify the previous encourag-
ing the hazard of damage to it with
each day of it's progress. 1t is not like
ly to reach maturity earlier than usual
in most districts.
The spring wheat crop in the North
west has been attended with some
drawbacks in weather conditions the
past week, but not OF a serious nature.
and the situation may be regarded
fully as encouraging as usual at this
period in the season.
The grain markets have been
decidedly irregular and higher. nota
bly, in wheat, and considerably in oats.
The May price of wheat. under the
oveIsold condition of this option, has
largely advanced, and the July deliv-
cry has felt the speculative influence,
closing 3sc higher than a week ago at
Chicago. While the visible stocks OF
corn have been rapidly decreasing they
are recognized as still large, and until
some we'll defined impairment of out
look for the new crop develops it is re-
garded as doubtful if prices will be
much advanced.
The higher prices recently reached
for corn have been encouraging more
free marketing of the remaining sup
plies of this grain, and farmers are dis
playing good judgment in taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity now af-
forded.
July wheat at Chicago closed
lie below the highest point of the
week, Csc above the lowest point, and
35c higher than a week ago.
Corn at Chicago for July clos.
ed lie below the highest point of the
week, lie above the lowest point and
&c higher than a week ago
Wheat receipts at primary markets
were 10000 bushels for the week
against 2,151.000 the preceding week
and 2,051, 900 last year.
Corn receipts were 100000 bushels
against 3,027,000 the preceding week
and 1904. 900 last year.

It was the old California Athletic Club Of this city that started the boom in purses, and competition since then has raised the price until now a first-class 'scrapper" can command more money than large number of first-cass actors
 The fact of the matter is that the people want the game, and they will pay lib- erally to see a first-class fistic lombard ment between two heavyweight cannon aders
 The sports of this city can rest satisfied that they will have "a run for their money when Jeffries and Sharkey meet in twenty-four foot ring.
 The contest promises to be exceedingly interesting while 1t will last. Sharkey in tends to cut out a fast pace from the clash of the gong. His packers say he will win within three rounds. They figure this way: Sharkey has a better record than Jeffries. He has proved by his fights with Choynski that he can do greater execution in a shorter space of time than can the man from Los Angeles. He is quicker on his pins. can hit a more wicked blow and, above all he Is game to the core and will not vince until knocked completely out.
 The sailors supporters are of the opinion that good money should always be placed on the gamest man-and there you are.
