BOSTON WOOL MARKET = Boston.
July 1.-THE wool market this week
continues strong and values are main
tanned. The demand is fairly good, but
represents speculative purchases by deal
ers as well as buying for manufacturers
The bulk of the business doing is yet in
interior grades, including territory, Tex
as and Oregon. The total sales of these
woods for the week footed about 35OO. 600
lbs, and the price obtained is better for
good woods For good lots containing a
fair amount of Staple the market is
quotable on the basis of secured at 48@
soc for fine medium and fine, with choice
staple line at 52q54c. Fleeces are quoted
higher, and somes sales have been made
at the advance, but territory woods have
had the bulk of the business for many
months past. Washed feeces are quoted
about lie higher in sympathy with other
woods. Pulled woods hold firm, prices

j. CHICAGO, July u-Midsummer dull
ness prevailed on the board today, and
fluctuations in all commodities were mar
row in consequence Wheat closed I'M
changed, corn unchanged, oats zee lower
and provisions 212 and 1Oc higher
September wheat opened about 1sc low
er, at 1z5s@13c, sold between 1234c ana
iS1hc, and closed unchanged at f3c. FAR
weather in the wheat belt and continued
large primary receipts caused degree
of easiness at the start. and furth-r
decline followed the opening. The decline
was soon recovered. There was irregular
buying by the less confident shorts VINO
feared the influence of the Russian crop
failure, fresh confirmatory news OF which
was received today, and the absence OF
selling pressure was not sufficient to sus-
tain prices. Changes were small until att
ernoon, when trade broadened out some
what Bradstreets reported 17S,00O de-
crease in the worlds visible, and reports
were received of damage to Wisconsin
spring wheat. 1t was also reported that
1900 600 bu spring wheat had been sold at
Toledo yesterday. Buying which follow
ed this news advanced the prices to the
highest point of the day, 1919. But the
impression that the Toledo report was
an exaggeration gained a foothold later
as no confirmatory news was received
and a slow decline followed, shorts eau
tiously resuning selling.
The seaboard reported twenty-six loads
taken for export. Receipts at primary
points were 8S5, 600 compared with 126,0W
last year. Northwest receipts were 65I
cars against seventy-one last year. Chi
cago receipts were 131 cars, five Of Chi
tract grade Trade became dull again
toward the close, and the pit at times
was half empty, with the business
usually a feature of narrow trading.
Corn was dull but fairly steady. The
market was almost entirely a sympathetic
one, prices following closely the fiuctua-
tions of wheat. Speculative demand was
moderate, and cash business rather small,
buyers apparently hesitating over the
estimated crop of two billion bushels. Re
ceipts, 1,102 cars. September ranged from
1885, to 341sc, and closed unchanged, at
1880.
Oats, like other grains, were extremely
dull, but steady for the greater part of
the session. There was a fair Eastern
demand for the cash article. Longs sold
In a small way, but steadily, and this
liquidation ultimately resulted in a trifl-
ing decline. Receipts were heavy, Ala cars.
September ranged from 20M to POS @2012c,
and closed &c lower, at 20Ac.
Provisions were firm and fairly active.
Speculative demand both local and from
the outside was good, and prices aver
aged slightly higher all day. At the
close September pork was 10c higher, at
$3.50; September lard sc lower, at $40,
and September ribs SC higher, at $515.
Estimate Wednesday: Wheat, 50 cars;
corn, 415 cars; oats, 169 cars; hogs, 50, 900
head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

conference at the White House to
Which He Was Not Invited.
WASHINGTON, July u-(Special.)-
Gossip in official circles is once more
busy with the name of the secretary Of
war, and today it is stated more posi-
lively than ever before that Mr.. Alger
must retire from the official family OF
President Mckinley. This gossip is
based uon secret conference which IL
is asserted was held Saturday night at
the White house. The president. Secre-
tary Long, Attorney General Griggs,
Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Gov Roosevelt
were present. 1t Is admitted that the
gentlemen named were at the White
house at the time mentioned and that
Gen Alger was not. It is also admitted
that Philippine affairs were discussed.
Such snub, it is believed, can have but
one result, the retirement OF Secretary Al
ger.

TEXAS COTTON CROP.
Damage by Floods VIII Have Little
Effect Upon Yield.

AUSTIN, Tex, July 1.-THE cotton ex-
change in this city completed today the
work of carefully tabulating the losses
on the cotton crop attendant upon the
BRACES river food. They find the loss
in the Brazos bottoms will represent 200,
coo bales of cotton, representing SIS, ,O90
They also find that the heavy rain which
produced the food and ruined the crops
in the bottoms has benefited cotton
grown on the upper lands proportionate-
ly, so that by far the best crop harvested
in year, will be produced from the up
lands this season, and. they predict that
the ioo1s will have had little effect on
the cotton yield of Texas.
