CORN BOOMS IN NEW YORK.
Market Decidedly Feverish and
Prices Literally Bound to
Top Figures.

New York, July 12.-There was great
excitement in both the wheat and corn
markets today, the trade aggregating
one of the largest totals in over year,
especially as to corn. Prices jumped
SIS cents during the day in corn,
making a l-2c advance for the week
Orders poured into the market so
fast that the brokers could scarcely
execute them at the prices desired. and
the usual small crowd around the corn
ring was increased to such an extent
that at times it almost riyaled that in
the wheat pit.
Wheat also took an extraordinary
jump and gave corn close race for the
leadership in the matter of the advance
for the day. Prices at New York closed
2 10 to . 5-Se higher than the pre-
vious night. being practically at the
top. The professionals were caught on
the bulge in wheat and some of them

Now in Controi of Fraser
River Situation.

Vancouver, July 1.-THE develop
ments in the Fraser river strike situa-
ton during the past "a hours have been
startling. The union fishermen now
have the upper hand, having accom-
plished coup d'etat, which is with
out parallel in the history of the
many labor disturbances in British Col
umbia. AS a result of the battle of
the small boats out on the gulf, in
which many shots were exchanged but
in which no combatants were killed. 16
Japanese were taken prisoners by the
strikers. The Japanese boats were
overturned, the rifles and fishing gear
Of the orientals being thrown into the
water and the Japanese themselves
taken to one of the small islands far
out in the gulf.
Exactly where the island is located
is the secret OF the white fishermen
They say they will continue to maroon
the nonunion Japanese there for the
remainder of the season or until the
place is discovered by the authorities.
Two provincial constables were out in
the Japanese boats today and arrested
six white fishermen.
The Japanese held big meeting at
Steveston and raised by voluntary sub
scriptions $4,000 for the Japanese hos
pital, which they think will may be
needed. and then discussed the salmon
catching situation, but took no defin
tie action.
There is renewed talk this evening
of calling out the militia.

ANOTHER KANSAS REPORT.
Burden of the Story Is that There
Will Be Marked Crop
Shortage.

Topeka, Kan, July 1.-THE weather
in Kansas continued very hot today,
the highest temperature reported being
ITO at Fort Scott
A careful perusal of the crop reports
from all parts of the state indicate
that Kansas Will not raise more than
so 100000 bushels of corn this year
The crop will thus be less than one
third of last years yield and less than
one-fifth in 1899. The late corn is just
half as high as it usually is at this
time of the year, this fact proving it's
salvation.
View of an Expert.
Secretary Coburn of the state board
of agriculture, a recognized authority,
admits that the corn crop is practical
ly failure.
The wheat is nearly all in stack. In
many cases it has been harvested only
to be burned. Twenty thousand acres
OF wheat in stack have been burned
during the last two weeks. Fires start
from the slightest cause so intensely
dry is everything, and when they once
are started there is no water with
which to fight them. Half grown fruit
is shrivelling, dying and dropping from
the trees.
