Grain Letter.

WHEAT-The week has closed in a
blaze of glory with wheat at the top
notch, SSc, for July and S9lsc for August
delivery in Chicago. Reliable information
from the northwest bankers, who natural
ly make the situation as bright as possible
say that not more than 40 per cent of a
crop can possibly be raised and unless
good soaking rains come soon the crop
will be a total failure.
The foreigners have at last awakened to
the realization that they will have to pay
dearly for overlooking the opportunity to
buy wheat when it was on the bargain
counter. Liverpool cables came Z1ad
higher today and will undoubtedly be as
much higher Monday.
Speculation is rampant and people VINO
now with palm leaf fans in one hand ana
five hundred dollar bills in the other, puy ,
ing wheat at any old price me bull
fever is on and the volume Of tradlnS IS
so heavy that no clique or pool can stem
the time and the market is left to run Its
course How high it will go no one can
even intimate, but that we VIII soon SEE
dollar wheat. the most StuDDorn pear IS
now willing to admit We believe the lat
ter part of next week Will see dollar
wheat and that the market VIII go 10 $40
per bushel beyond any question
CORN-Cables this morning came ISsd
higher and our market opened over cent
a bushel higher than yesterdays close,
and held firm throughout the session: tie
CENTS at Chicago were very liberal, 4lS
cars. Before the July option expires corn
will look very cheap at 45c a buShel- IhlS
corn should be bought on all recesstons-
VISIONS-Provisions opened this
morning with a sensational advance, be-
ing 7sc a barrel higher than last night
close. 1t looks to US like good place TO
take profits and buy on reactions, which
are sure to come. Again take on your lne
and hold for another good advance.

ARMY WORMS
Are Driving People From Their
Homes in Dakota.

Yankton, S. D., June 23.-The dreaded
army worm has appeared on the Mis-
souri, sandbars along the river front in
this city in such numbers as to cause
serious alarm. Twenty or thirty acres
of willows have been swept bare and
the worms are moving eastward. They
invaded J. c. Schotts farm and house
and drove the family out. He lost his
garden and part of his crops. The
worms are from two to three inches long
and are said to be the genuine army
worm which sweeps all vegetation clear
as it moves

Kan, receiver and shipper of grain.
New York, June 23.-The sentiment of
the street is crystalizing around the idea
that a rally in the stock market is over
due. If this sentiment is supported by
sufficiently active operations, the short
interest might take to its heels precipitate-
ly. If on the other hand the recent ten
dency to liquidation should become pro-
nounced, it is probable that prices might
suffer a further decline. 1t is true that
the investors are carefully considering
many questions which run beyond the
incidents and manipulations of a week.
There may be many changes in the course
until the result is known or confidently
believed in, there must naturally be a
restriction of capitalistic activity. There
is another reason why men with large
funds of money at command hesitate ap-
parently on a liberal SCALE the outcome of
the crops is still uncertain It is as vet
impossible to measure the extent of dam
age from meteorological condition to the
wheat crOD.

New Battery For San piego.

San Diego, Cal, June 23.-Captain ].
]. Meyler has been directed by the war
department to have plans drawn for a
battery of two S-inch guns to be located
on North island, at the entrance to San
Diego harbor The guns will not only
command the entrance to the harbor,
but will be able to destroy any small
craft that might steal up under the big
1O-inch guns of Fort ROsecrans, located
directly across the channel. These big
guns can not be depressed sufficiently
to hit a ship at close range. and the 8
inch guns will be put in to solve this
problem.

An Historic Poem.

Mrs. w. V. Tuxbury read at the
meeting Of the Ladies Auxiliary
Union Veteran Legion Thursday
evening, a poem which proved of
interest to the veterans who heard
it, because of its sentiment and his
tory. 1t was written sometime
after the war by Elnathan Min
shall. private in the colonial
army. John Wolf; Il private in the
same ranks. received the poem from
MIR. Minshall. Mr.. Wolf was the
grandfather of Randolph H. Wolf,
No. 4OS East Third street and the
poem was loaned by him to Mrs.
TuXbury to be read at the celebra-
ton of the Ladies of the L. V. l..
1t was most appropriate reading.
The REPUBLICAN publishes the
poem at the request of the AuXil-
lary.
It was written by a Revolutionary
Soldier. On taking retrospective
view Of my sutferings while in the
Revolutionary Army, in which |
suffered with hunger, cold, and
want Of clothing.
On the cold earth oft have lain,
Cypress d with hunger toll and
pam,
While storms and tempcsts roar'd
around,
And frost and snow had cloth d the
ground.
The Britishs troop did us assail,
In storms of snow and rafting
hail,
All this with patience long we
bore
Until that sanguine war was O er
And independence made secure,
For which we did those tolls indure
Our hostile foes then left our shore,
Retired for to return no more.
Fair freedom now her laurels
spread
Ger hostile fields where warriors
bled,
No more we hear the din of war,
Nor thund ring cannon from afar.
Here peace spreads Der our fertile
plains,
No tyrants shake their calling
chains,
Our ships safe o'er the ocean glide,
And watt in wealth with ev'ry tide;
My friends remember us who bled,
When on the sanguine fields YOU
tread.
Nor spurn us il of you we crave,
Some aid while tot'ring DER the
grave,
Our tleeting days will shortly end,
Then with our native dust we blend,
Death soon will close our languid
eyes,
And all our cares beneath the skies:
Columbia S sons who us survive,
And in this land of freedom live,
Revere that Providential hand,
That long has blest your happy
land.
Your Constitution ever prize,
Your tow ring fame will reach the
skies,
! And while you all in union blend,
1t will from war your shores de-
| fend-
