ADVANCE IN WHEAT.
Speculative interests Big Buyers of tho
Cereal at New York IN Damage News
from the NOPthw.s

New York, June 9.-Another sem
sational advance took place in wheat
yesterday, prices advancing 2h to
tx cents per bushel, making over 5
cents in the last three days The
outside speculative interests were
big buyers of wheat on damage news
from the northwest, and the profess
sional operators, while trying several
times during the day to undermine
prices, met their matches, and were
obliged to retreat in the last hour,
when the highest prices Of the ses-
sion were obtained. Crop damage
reports from spring wheat states are
undoubtedly very bullish, but there is
some question as to whether the adj
vance has not been too rapid under
the circumstances. July wheat went
up from 75% early in the day to
77as cents in the late afternoon, clos
ing at 77A cents, Foreign houses
also proved good buyers Of the sta
pie, and general sentiment was
strongly in favor of higher prices,
should rain be withheld much longer
from the spring wheat belt. Opera
tons in the option market reached
q total Of about 5000 900 bushels for
the day, which is the heaviest bust
ness done in year or more.

ON APPROPRIATIONS.
The Ranking Member Of the House Com.
mlttes Makes . Statement from His
standpoint.

Washington, June s.-Representa-
tive Livingstone, of Georgia, the
ranking minority member Of the
house committee on appropriations
yesterday made the following state.
ment as to appropriations from the
standpoint of the minority: 81 beg
to call to the attention Of the country
the fact that, notwithstanding the
enormous appropriations for 1900 on
accounted the Spanish-Cuban war, the
army and navy appropriations for
this session are $5O,OO0,O0O in excess
of those for the last session. In
every department of the government
we have increased at this session the
amounts authorized at the last SEES
sion. And when to the aggregate
we add the amounts that should have
been appropriated at this session
amounts which must be appropri-
ated at the second session OF this
congress-such as that necessary ia
complete the Nicaragua canal 1.-THE
bill having passed the house), carry
ing authorization of an expenditure
Of Sal, 100000, and also that usually
appropriated for rivers and harbors,
$16,OOO,0OO; and for public buildings
and grounds, $3,O00,00O; and for out
standing claims, estimated at $780,
OO0,oO0-if, I say, we add $17O,O0O,-
900 to the sum stated in the table,
$7O9,729, 476, we would have grand
total Of $s79,729,476 for this session
alone. And thus the total shown tn
the exhibit is not quite complete or
fair, considering that such large
amounts that must be met are with
held for the next session. The domi-
nant party attempted to commit this
congress at this session, and doubtless
will renew their efforts at the coming
session to commit the government,
to what is known as the ship sub.
sidy scheme, which involves the sum
of $120,000,000, to be expended
throughout term of years."
