GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, June 1S.-Wheat scored a SEN
sational advance today. July option sold
at the opening on the Board of Trade
at 1878 to 1875 cents and under an enor-
nous demand steadily advanced in price
till a sale was made at 1875 cents, AS %
4Ac higher than the last sale of Sat.
urdays trade. The advance was caused
by reports alleging the almost total
failure of the spring wheat crop in the
Dakctas and Minnesota, the greatest
spring wheat growing sections of the
country. The failure this season is said
to be the worst in many years. A local
expert who has been investigating the
damages from drought today reported that
the three States could not raise 100 O00,-
coo bushels of wheat, a decrease from
last years yield of 120000,000 bushels.
Men who had been buying wheat weeks
ago, today took out moderate fortunes in
profits.
The close was at 1874 to 1873 cents for
July.

New York. June 1S.-Shorts came in
for severe punishment in the Cotton Elk
change today, but the bull faction was in
no hu1nor to follow up their advantage
owing to the presence of the weak cables
from Liverpool and bearish political
news from the Far East. A decline of 4
to and a half points was noted in the
English market at the time of our open
ing and goodly number of foreign SELL
ing orders were known to exist 1t
was very evident that the English mar
llet had been depressed by the sensational
reports from China and that the trade
abroad considered the crop as minor
factor for the time being. The local
trade however, while slightly influenced
by the break at Liverpool and the politi-
cal news, subsequently became decidedly
bullish on reports that high temperature
was causing great damage to the plant
in Texas, that continued rainfall in the
central belt was placing the crop Sc
riously in the grass and weeds while in
the Atlantic States the crop was doing
poorly in many districts. forecast for
showers to moderate rains tonight and
tomorrow where dry weather was needed
and for clear conditions where mois-
ture was essential served to intensity

later in the day. Shorts were extremely
nervous and covered spasmodically, par
ticuIarly over sales of present crop op-
lions. The public was intimidated by
China war talk and the irregularity in
Liverpool and commission trading at most
did not reach important proportions. IN
the late session prices advanced to level
several points above Saturdays closing
on persistent covering.
The market closed steady, three to five
points net higher.

Cheap Oats.

General Sir T7ItDert Cnermslde was
formerly a consul in Asia Minor. Once,
in a weak moment, he sent couple or
beautiful Angora cats as a present TO
q lady in ConstantinOple. The lady
was so pleased that she asked him to
send some more. Sir. HeI ~ert gave his
native servant some money and told
him to go and buy two or three. Then
came n demand for more cats from the
consurs friends, and he gave his serv'
ant more money with which to buy
cats.
This went on for two or three
months, and the native servant waXed
exceeding fat. One morning, however,
the general, on coming out of the con-
sulate, was surrounded by a host OF
infuriated yelled women, who besought
Mohammed to curse him because he
had stolen all their cats. 1t appears
that the native servant had pocketed
the money for himself and gone round
with a sack and confscated every cat
in the place.

The amateur photographers, who are
a legion In themselves, will be out In
full force. They are spurred on by the
knowledge that the most successful
photograph OF the suns corona was
taken by an amateur. This amateur
was Mrs. Maunder, wife of an English
astronomer, who accompanied her hus-
band to India to witness the solar
eclipse of 1898. She used a Dallmeyer
stigmatic lens of liz inches aperture
and inches focal length.
The silyery white halo Of the corona,
which looks as if it belonged to the
moon, is the most impressive object
seen during an eclipse. Portions Of the
corona unquestionably extend several
million miles from the body that it sur
rounds. The structure of this envelope
eXcites wonder even in the inexperi-
enced observer, but it is made the sub
ject of careful research by the scen-
fist.
Down at the base of the snow white
corona lies a crimson ocean of hydro
gen, helium and other gases. 1t is
called the chromosphere. Langley,
Young and other experts say it is about
5000 or 5000 miles deep. Up from
this rose red, or blood red, sea at times
rise cloudlike prominences over 100000
miles high. Young has seen one swift
ly grow to an altitude of 100000 miles.
With a spectroscope it is now possible
for the astronomer to study the solar
chromOsphere and prominences at al
most any time, but the amateur can see
them only during a total eclipse.
After it is all over, perhaps the as
tronOmers may tell us the answers to
many questions about the corona which
as yet have never been answered. They
may also have news of Vulcan, that
mysterious star, that lost world, which
is supposed to exist somewhere be-
tween the Sun and Mercury.

The Portuguese Colonies In Africa
In "a Backward State.
The Portuguese colonies in Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land Of real
ity. After three centuries of white
dominion they remain pretty much in
the condition in which Da Cana and
his bold successors left them.
Here is a picture Of what trade
means in the favored region of Cabin
da bay, where there is single white
trader who occupies house of three
rooms, with a ''shop" 20 feet by 8
attached. The place is stocked with
puncheons of some vile stuff called
rum" which are exchanged for palm
kernels.
Knots Of natives from the interior
villages with loads Of kernels begin
to present themselves at the shop by
a. M, and when the trader at last
makes his appearance there is noisy
crowd Of kernel sellers and thirsty
hangers on.
The exchange of rum for kernels is
quickly effected, and by 9 O'Clock in
the morning the entire population may
be seen lying under the shelter OF the
cocoanut palms either stupidity drunk
or noisily quarreling.
The mingled uproar and snoring lasts
till about noon, when there is sud-
den return to sobriety, and the crowd
clears away to the village to collect
the means for another carousal.
On a good" day the trader at Ca
binda bay gets rid Of about 100 gal
Ions of rum, and he AYERS that the
scene described is repeated every day
in the year.
Next to rum and "civilization" the
greatest curses Of West Africa are
SMALLPOX aud the sleeping sickness.
From this last no case of recovery
has ever been known, and so con-
tagious is it that in the native Chris
tan community every communicate
has a separate cup from which to par
take of the sacramento wine.-London
