session several prominent room traders
became active buyers of fall months and
rumor had it that the metal CLIQUE was

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Lower cables, re-
ports of fine crop weather and stories Of
damage by rains in Kansas put the wheat
market in a variety of moods today. July
closed unchanged. July corn closed AQ0
&c higher. July oats unchanged and pro-
visions from 712QlOc to 2Oc up.
Dullness prevailed during the early part
of the session, though there was consid-
erable trade later. Wheat opened 1sc to
14c lower at zoe to 70Bc for July, on
lower cables and continuation of condi-
tiOns favorable to the growing crop.
Covering caused an advance to 70Bc, the
high point Of the day. The worlds visible
supply was disappointment to bulls, and
under free offerings the market declined
to 692Ic Good slipping demand, together
with reports of too much rain in Kansas,
brought about a rally toward the close,
and final figures for July were firm and
unchanged at 70Ac. Twenty loads were
reported taken for export and seaboard
cleaGances of wheat and flour were equal
to 1853, 900 bu. Primary receipts were 49,
coo compared with Az 600 bu a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 313 cars,
against 800 last week and 81 a year ago.
Local receipts were 124 cars, four of con-
tract grade.
Corn was quiet but firm, and slightly
higher most of the session on account of
the small receipts and the insignificant
proportion of contract quality. While
weather was generally auSpiclOuS, the
growth and appearance of the plant ac-
cording to general reports from the cOun-
try, left much to be desired, and there
WAS not uluCu encouragement III Tic pros

feet Of the present small supply. jury
ranged between 43c and 4312c, closing 40
asc improved and steady at 1875 q431ac.
Local receipts were 1893 cars, four of con
tract grade.
Oats were active and received consider
able support from the best sellers of yes
terday. Commission houses and local
shorts bid July up a fraction over yes
terday's high prices. Crop advices were
bad, rust reports being common. 1t looks
as if local long interests have accumulat-
ed large line of July. July had mar
row range, selling between 2Sc at the
opening and 2S9sc, closing steady and un-
changed at 2S3ac.
Provisions were strong, pork and ribs
closed strong. Buying of lard was on
such a scale that shorts took alarm and
helped by their purchases to swell the
price as well as the volume of trading.
July pork ranged between 4.S2b and
$l4.S712, closing zoe higher at the latter
figure. July lard ranged between IS. go
and $50, closing 15@171ac higher at the
latter figure. July ribs ranged between
s. and IS .10GS. .121a. closing at the latter
figure with a gain of 712Q10c.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat, 40 cars: corn, It's cars; oats,
125 cars and 10000 head of hogs.

TWENTIETH CENTURIES DAWN
The Friendly Islanders VIII Be the First People to Hall It's
 Advent.

The first people to live in the twen- tieth century will be the Friendly is flanders, for the date line, as it may be called, lies in the Pacific ocean just to the east of their group. At that time, al- though it will be already Tuesday to them, all the rest of the world will be enjoying some phase of Monday, the last day of the nineteenth century (De- cember 31, 19oo), At Melbourne the people will be going to bed, for it will be nearly ten o'clock at Manila it will be two hours earlier in the evening" at Calcutta the English residents will be sitting at their Monday afternoon din- ner, for it will be about six o'clock; and in London Big Ben" in the tower of the house of commons will be striking the hour of noon. In Boston, New York and Washington half the people will be eating breakfast on Monday morning, while Chicago will be barely conscious of the dawn. At the same moment San Francisco will be in the deepest sleeI of what is popularly called Saturday night, though really the early, dark hours of Monday morning, and half the Pacific will be wrapped in the darkness of the same morning hours, which be- come earlier to the west, until at mid way or Brooks island it will be but few minutes past midnight of Sunday night.-John Ritchie, Jr., in Ladies' Home Journal

PICKPoCKETs' GAINS.
According to This Account It Is a Fairly Remunerative Calling
 in the Aggregate.

The amount of money which pick pockets take in annually is probably greater than that of any other special ists in crime. It would be idle to say how large it is, but it is well-known fact that thousands of dollars are stolen by them at big public gatherings to which they have access. It was report ed, for instance, that at the recent con- federate soldiers reunion i'm the south $50, ,0OO was stolen by pickpockets, and almost every day in the year one reads in the newspapers of a big touch" reaching into the thousands. 1 think it is a conservative statement to say that in lifetime the expert pickpocket steals $2O,OOO. Multiply this figure by 1,500, which have given as the number of first-class grafters in the country, and the result reaches high up into the millions. Like other professional thieves, the pickpocket throws away his money like water and very seldom thinks of saving for old age, but prac- tically all successful mObs have "fall money" Gan expense fund for paying lawyers, etc., when they get arrested)  of from S3,0OO to $5, ,OOO each carefully banked, and know of cue pickpocket who is the owner of some very valuable real estate. A good illustration of the rapidity with which they recoup them selves financially after period of rest or term in prison is the story told about one of them who returned to this country penniless after a pleasure trip to Europe. The man related the in cident to friend of mine. Didn't have red, he said. 'I tackled a saloon keeper knew for couple of thousand. How long do you think was paying him back? Three weeks"
 If the pickpocket knew how to save his money and could invest it we'll his children might some day be our mill honaires.-Isaiah Flynt, in Independ- ovt
