CHICAGO MARKETS.


CHICAGO. June H-The furry yester-
day seemed to have cleared the atmos-
phere ON the board Of trade. and today
there was nothing to remind one of the
disturbance but the lower prices The
Letter deal was generally considered to
be dead and buried. so far as the trading
in deferred futures was concerned, but
the obeequles of the cash end OF that re-
narkabie speculation were stu to be per-
fected. Wheat started not far from the
closing prices of the day before for the
bulk OF transactions, although a few sales
were made at i.c Improvement. Weak
ness very soon developed. however, and
July sold down &c and September and De-
cernber about lac during the half hours
trading.
1t became rumored during the forenoon
that, besides buying from Letter all the
June wheat the latter had coming 10 him.
Armour had bough: all the cash wheat
held by the young Spectator in Min
neapolis and Duluth. That gave a little
firmer tone to the proceedings In the pit.
The gathering strength was increased
when the runsor received the substantial
confirmation of the president OF the Illi-
nois Trust and Savings bank. To COM
plete the bulish combination the weather
was still wet in Texas where much of the
wheat is in shock. and Ii rained heavily in
Kansas and other Western states, where
wheat-cntt.Dg has commenced. Liverpool
contributed further item Of bulfshness
by cabling that the wheat throughout
East Central Russia was threatened with
total failure from dronth, ard that the
worst was probable unless rain relieved
the situation within ii week.
The Liverpool quotations. however. were
anything but bullish, giving clear indica-
lions of the abandonment Of a threatened

The Argonauvs Reply.


are hypocrites and their holy-wsr
plea lie, has not covered itself with
glory. Nevertheless, it ia almost
right when it says that it's case will
be made out il the President elects
to give back the Philippine Islands
to the mercies of Spain" The
Argonaut was not trying to cover
itself with glory by making these
assertions, but to prevent the coun-
try from covering itself with shame.
When this country intervenes in
SPANS colonies on the pretext that
it is to help the suffering peoples OPP
pressed by Spain, and when it takes
those Spanish islands which it be-
lieves to be profitable and leaves
those islands which it believes to be
Improbable, we contend that our
assertions were true, to wit, that the
philanthropists who said that this
is a "holy war" are hypocrites, aud
that the humanitarian plea for the
war was lie.
But whatever the motives, the re-
suits are plain. Cuba will be au-
nexed; Porto Rico will be annexed.
They are profitable and near to the
East. The Philippines are possibly
Improbable and certainly remote
from the East. 1t is eleven thousand
miles via Suez from New York to
Manila. The Philippine trade would
help the Pacific Coast more than it
would the Atlantic, and the Allan
tic seahoard will get plums enough
in the Cuba. Porto Rico pudding. 1t
thinks the Pacific Coast is greedy
in wanting the Philippine pie. The
East, in our opinion, will be satisfied
with the net results OF the "holy
war;" and will halt its humanitarian
ism at the point where it ceases to
be profitable, to wit, the Philip
pines. We congratulate our pious
and philauthropic friends of the
East on the purity of their motives
and the profit of their purity.
The situation might be summar-
lied by cynic in dialogue FORM
The Coast-"I want the Philip
pines!"
The East-"There, there, don't be
greedy Haven't we got Cuba and
Porto Rico for you3"
The Coast-But they don't do me
any good. l want the Philippinesp
The East-"But the Philippines
are too far away, my child"
The Coast-"Y but Cuba and
Porto Rico are too far away from
me, too"
The East-"Yes, dear, but it would
be wrong to take the Philippines"
The Coast-"Why?"
The East-"Because it is wicked
to govern a people without the con-
sent of the governed"
The ast-"But that is what you
did with Cuba and Porto Rico"
The East-"But that is different.
Little children do not understand
these things"
The Coast-"But if it is wicked
to take the Philippines, why wasn't
it wicked to take Cuba and Porto
Rico?" H
The East-"Because they said
they wanted to be taken, just the
same as Hawaii. Don't you see?
Look at nice, pretty Hawaii"
The Coast-Yes, l know Hawaii
wanted to be annexed Il don't
thiukD, but l want the Philippines,
too"
The East There, there, child
The Philippines are too big for you.
Run along and play with your little
Hawaiian Islands"

the fun that l can get out OF my

New York, July 1.-THE sentimental ef-
feet of Commodore Schley's victory was
entirely dissipated to-day and the market
dropped back into the condition of lethar-
gy and OF waiting for developments which
had marked it for some time previous to
this week. The satisfaction of the demand
aroused by the news of the victory IL
a striking demonstration of the fact that
the war is little taken account of in the
stock market. Many observers believe
that its successful termination has al
ready been discounted and the only de-
veiopment in Its progress likely to affect
prices of securities would be something
unfavorable to the success of the United
States. The financial collapse of Spain Is
felt to be inevitable. and the longer the
strain Is maintained the greater the dam
age that will be inflicted by the financial
disaster. The bankruptcy of the Spanish
government must inevitably have far
reaching effects in the financial world and
is bound to be reflected in this country
even In the face of triumphs and prosper
ity.
The effect of the government loan on
the money market is also an unsolved
problem and begets hesitancy I'm specula-
tive ventures. There is bound to be con-
tinued uncertainty as to the country's
prosperity for the coming year until the
present crops are finally harvested. or at
least until the dimensions of the crops
! and the prices they will bring are known.
The expectation that a naval victory
would awaken speculative account evil
IDENTIFY having been discounted. to-day's
dull and sluggish market was the nat
ural outcome. with the bears nibbling to
find the weak spots, but with so little
success as to be led to cover most short
