Withered Its Price.

Foreign Bull News Ignored
BY the Traders.

Chicago, June 4.-The sunshine and
warmth that was quickening the growth
in the fields, withered the prices in the
wheat pit today. July closed at a loss
of 114c and September III Corn left of
! 12c and oats 1Ao lower. Pork. lard and
rios show declines of 271zc; 1Oc and 5Q715c,
respectively.
The predominating factor in wheat at
The start was the weather, and that was
favorable for early maturing of the crop
Liverpool was 2L4d lower for July and I'd
up for September. Bearbohm cabled that
the weather in France was bad, Those
latter items of Information received no
consideration from local spectators. The
sunshine and clear sky that could be seen
from the board Of trade windows had too
potent an effect to permit of other in
nuences at that time There were bug
stories from Kansas of a most narrowing
description and reports from Buda Pest
OF rust IN the wheat crop of Hungary.
Even that could not overcome the bear
ishress that hal so suddenly seized the
crowd. In about forty minutes after the
opening, September, which closed yester-
day at SS94sc, had sold down to 1914 Q792sc.
There was rather nervous feeling in
July, however. Shorts were disposed to
cover, and there was some demand for
the long account. The crowd, however.
which had bought too freely on the bull
sentiment yesterday, got discouraged at
the tameness and weakness displayed. At
fhn oI0
to hquidate and the strength which had
ruled in July early was all lost. Near
the close the bearish feeling gathered in
intensity in September, and that month
suffered a still further decline Chicago
receipts were 80 cars, Of them contract,
and 10000 bushels were inspected out of
store. Minneapolis and Duluth received 1914
cars, against $40 year ago. The seaboard
clearances Of wheat AMI flour were equal
to $4,000 bushels. July opened PC lower
at 9313q94, sold up to 941Ac, down to 931zc,
up to s41gc, fen off to 92c and frmed up
to $3.50 at the close. September began a
G7sc lower, at 799sdS01z, sold down to 79c,
rallied to 1880, declined to 7S12c and rose
to 7S3sQ%, the closing figure.
An easier feeling was displayed in corn
on lower cables, large receipts and favor
able weather for the growing crop. Ex-
port demand has disappeared. July opened
&c lower at 3391sc, sold down steadily to
323sc. then steadied to 325sG$4c at the
close.
There was some changing from July TO
September in oats. July started &c off
at 24Ac, sold up to 24Q241sc, the resting
figure.
The firmness in provisions at the start
was based on the small receipts Of hogs,
and an advance of 5a1Oc in prices at the
yards. Selling by packers turned prices
downward. July pork started sc higher,
at 81. sold up to s11O5, then dropped stead
lily to S1O.671E at the close. July lard
opened unchanged at s6.171a and sold down
to s6.071a July ribs began 21zc higher at
s5.S21h, advanced 70 $5.S5. then declined
to s5.75 at the close.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
06 cars; corn, 1890; oats, 800; hogs, 5000
head.

The Ethics of Book Thieving.

With respect to books, says Herbert
Putnam in The Atlantic, habit, if not
convention, has tended to establish a spe-
cial code of ethics, distinct from that ap-
plicable to ordinary properties. 1t may
well be that the property right in a book
is limited and proyisionalI Iight-a right
which continues in the owner only until
1t appears that the volume will confer a
greater benefit upon some one else. This
view, which may justify-nay, which to
sensitive conscience may sorrowfully
compel-the appropriation of book, does
not necessarily extend to the appropriation
of the contents of a book, and we have it
as a singular contrast that many persons
of repute, who would hold it theft to
plagiarize other mems ideas, hold it no
more than a plagiarism to steal their
books. In using the term theft" in con-
nection with books we should therefore
explain that by theft we mean no more
than the dispossession of one holder in ia
yor of another and set apart wholly the
question of Iooral turpitudo in the trans
action.
