JRADsrREET's REPORT.
Wheat Higher ON Unfavo 'sble Crop
Reports.

Wheat Higher ON Unfavo 'sble Crop
Reports.
Bradstreet's says: Continued dull.
ness in many branches and further
shading in several staple lines consti.
tute the leading features in the bust.
ness situation this week. The weak.
ness OF prices is displayed in lower quo.
tations for corn, pork, butter, cheese.
wool and cotton among the great agri.
cultural products and petroleum and
lead among the mineral products.
Wheat is slightly higher, partly owing
10 less favorable crop reports here and
abroad. Continued dryness In the
Northwest has given the spring wheat
situation less satisfactory appearance
and there is little improvement noted
in the winter wheat sections OF the
central west. 1t is doubtful, however.
If the dry weather has as yet really
affected the spring wheat, the chief
complaint coming from the lumber In.
terests, which report low streams inter-
ferring with the forwarding of supplies.
The industrial situation is, on the
whole, rather much better than fOP
some time past, in that new disturb.
ances are fewer and some old ones have
been settled. But practical tie.ups in
Chicago are still unbroken. At st.
Louis all kinds of business have been
hurt by the strike of street railway
employees. and uncertainty at other
cities, particularly in tile building
trade, has had an unsettling effect
upon lumber.
Wheat, including -four, shipments
for the week aggregate 5,l78,422 BUSH
els, against 3, 480, 574 bushels last week.
Business failures in the United States
for the past week number l55, as com.
pared with ia last week. Failures In
the Dominion of Canada are slightly
more numerous, numbering "a for the
past week, againstl9 last week.

Washington, May 26.-The duty of
the United States towards its 'island
possessions" was the subject OF heated
discussion in the senate again today.
Soon after the senate convened, Bacon
began an extended reply to the speech
Of Platt, delivered yesterday. His
speech was largely supplemental to that
which he delivered several days ago.
demanding an investigation of Cuban
affairs. His resolution, to which there
Is little or no oposition, under the rules
went to the committee on contingent
expenses.
The remainder of the afternoon was
occupied by Spooner in concluding his
speech on the Philippine question.
The debate which he aroused took n
turn decidedly political. He charged
the so.called anti.imperialists with
creating All issue which was not legiti.
mate. Many of his statements were
controverted by Allen and Pettigrew,
and the controversy ut times became
almost personal.

JUDGE pullman DEAD.
Ansonian Well known Here Succumbs

Aneonian Well known Here Succumbs
to Bright's Disease.
Judge John B. Quillinan of Ansonia,
who died Thursday and who was well
known to many members of the Re-
publican league Of New Haven, was a
self-made man in many ways. He was
born In Tipperary, Ireland, December
%, 1881, and it was intended, it is said,
that he should be educated as a priest.
He upset the plans of his mother by
running away from home, and came
to America in the spring of 1S47
He at once came to Connecticut and
found work on farm in the town of
Oxford. Mr.. pullman was well posted
in law, having read extensively, but
never applied for admission to the bar.
He was honored by his fellow citizens
and since '67 had almost continuously
held some office of their gift In 1876
he was elected judge of probate for the
district of Derby holding the office for
two years. In 1897 he was elected first
selectman and town agent for the old
town Of Derby. For four years he was
collector of taxes for the city of An
sonia.
1882, when he forsoo1x the party, as he
could not agree with it relative to the
tariff platform and he then took the
stump for James G. Blaine, speaking
thirty-one times and never accepting
any pay for his services. He did not
get even enough out of it to pay trav-
cling expenses
Since that time he had been
staunch republican.
over forty years ago, he was united
in marriage to Miss Betsey Leek of
Oxford, who survives him. Three chill
