CHICAGO, June 19.-Wheat was nervous
today. Up to noon there had been 2
cent reaction, which was only natural
after the sharp advance of yesterday. This
was followed by a rally of l 1-2c. the
market finally closing full l lac under
last night. Profit taking by commission
houses and professionals was on a large
scale. This was the principal feature of
the market. Primary receipts were 427, 900
bushels, against $1,000 bushels last year.
Clearances were 5000 bushels. The sea-
board reports only twelve loads taken.
Compared with wheat, corn showed
strength. Tonight's price was only Ia
under last year, and at times today showed
an advance over Monday. There have been
moderate country offerings, and a decided
ly good shipping demand. Sales here are
at least 100000 bushels. The contract
stock, 2,572, 600 bushels, decreased another

morrow Country offerings are moderate,
but the shipping demand rather slow. Con-

THE CROP REPORT.
Conditions in Various Sections of
the Country

the
The weekly summary of crop conditions
was issued yesterday afternoon by the
Agricultural Department 1t follows:
THE protracted bought over the north
ern portion of the spring wheat region
continues, and rain is needed in portions
of New England and Texas, and generally
throughout the Rocky Mountain districts.
Abundant rains have thoroughly relieved
the drought conditions in the Middle At
lantic States, while excessively heavy
precipitation has interrupted farm work
and caused damage to crops in the South
Atlantic and east Gulf States, lower Ohio,
and central and lower Mississippi valleys.
The week was unseasonably cool in the
lower Missouri and upper Mississippi val
leys, and upper Lake region, light frosts
occurring over the eastern portion of the
upper Michigan peninsula. On the Pacific
Coast the week was generally favorable,
although light showers damaged grain and
fruit to some extent in northern Cali
fornia, and abnormal heat in Washington
proved unfavorable
while the week has been rather cool
in the great corn States of the central
valleys, corn has made very favorable
progress, especially in the States of the
Missouri Valley, where the crop is grow
ing rapidly and is well cultivated, except
in portions of Missouri. The crop also
needs cultivation in the lower Ohio VAL
ley, western Tennessee, Arkansas, and
generally throughout the east Gulf States
In the Middle and South Atlantic States
corn has made decided advancement, but
it is ne1sing rain in portions of Texas
and louisiana.
Heavy rains in the central Mississippi
Valley have retarded the harvesting OF
winter wheat, especially in portions of
Arifa
see, and in the two last-named States some
damage has been done TO wheat in shock
Harvesting has continued under generally
favorable conditions in Oklahoma and Kan
sas, and will begin this week in Nebras-
ka.
Very unfavorable reports respecting
spring wheat continue from the northern
portion Of the spring wheat region, where
no rain. or only very light showers, fell
during the week. In North Dakota much
OF the early sown is damaged beyond re-
covery. and in Minnesota 1t is thin and

was nothing new in the Chinese situation,
the talk OF Roosevelt for Vice President
was considered bullish argument, and
London bought American securities. Under
the influence Of these various matters there
was a strong market nearly all day, and
prices until after 2 o'clock showed la'ge
gains all over the list. There was a de-
cline from the highest prices in most
stocks during the last hour. owing to profit
taking and to a slump that suddenly devel-
oped in the New York corporation securi-
ties for some reason not generally UNDER
stood. This decline took the best part of
the top CT the gains of the day. On the
whole, however. the session should be con-
sidered good one from the standpoint OF
the bulls. The bears were undoubtedly
frightened, and the buying CT stocks for the
long account was at times good. 1t Is not
to be looked for very hopefully. however,
that there will be any important advance
In prices at this time. Today may see a
continuance Of the gains owing to the
presence Of the Republican Convention at
PHILADELPHIA. After that renewal of the
professional tactics so conspicuous recently
should be expected, and with that con-
tinuance OF the very dull market that has
come to be the rule rather than the exc
ton of late. When intrinsic conditions viii
have their legitimate effect on the market
and cause strong upward movement, 1t is
now impossible TO predict. II is safe, how
ever, to advise the buying OF the good Sc
curities on the recessions.

 A special meeting of the board of al- dermen was held last night for the pur- pose of taking action on the appoint- ment of commissioners of the Town De- posit Fund and on the recommendation of the committee on railroads and bridges that the Fair Haven and West vile Railroad company be permitted to extend its tracks on Derby avenue to the Orange town line. The board voted to appoint the members of the board of selectmen commissioners of the Town Deposit Fund and after a long discus- sion the recommendation concerning the extension of tracks on Derby ave- nue was adopted. The matter is to be acted upon by the councilmen tonight and will probably pass that board as large number of citizens whom the ex- tension of tracks will benefit appeared before the committee in favor of the petition for permission to extend the tracks.
