Fetal Net Receipts of Cotton.
Chicago Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Continued hot weather throughout the West and South west created a bullish sentiment in the corn pit today and prices for both July and September delivery gradually scared upward until the close, at which time the latter option sold at ITS or IF higher September wheat closed k higher; Sep tenher oats were 1% and 1h higher and provisions ranged from H1 to 1219c higher
 Weak cables and heavy domestic re- feeling in the wheat market at the open ing. Trading was dull and within a nar- row range and the pit was nearly desert ed during the entire day, the interest of traders centering in the coarse grains Toward the close the remarkable demand for corn and oats and the material rise in prices of both had strengthening ef feet, and when added to reports of rust sise moisture. the situation became quite strong. September opened kc lower at , 65H@66 and the fluctuations were within # range. the close being at 6s%gS614. Ar against 736.000 bushels last week and g. 168 600 year ago. Seaboard clearances of wheat and -four were equal to 7sS, 900 bushs els and primary receipts were s95,OO0 bush els against 395,000 bushels a year ago Minneapolis and Duluth reported 452 cars, compared with 246 week ago and 12O cars last year. Local receipts were 51 cars. 15 of contract grade.
 Corn opened easier on rains in Kansas. but the relief thus afforded the situa : ton gave way later in the session to bull ish reports from the country and the market strengthened. At the low point both longs and shorts were quite active on the buying side, which also helped to start the price upward. When buyins, or ders began to come in from the country. there was a wild scramble among the shorts in an attempt to cover: Septem- Der opened at 461tq461l and there was a gradual advance in price until 4S was reached which ocurred shortly before the close. Final figures were 11sc higher at 47h Local receipts were 155 cars, six of contract grade.
 There was a large trade in oats with the buying general and of good charac- ter. The opening was firm and the early strength was more than maintained. Con- tinued dry weather and general poor out look for the crop were the main bull fac | tors. Outsiders were the best buyers. September ranged between 27& and 29, closing at the high point with a gain of 1%d1h Local receipts were 12S cars.
 There was Ia better local demand for provisions, doubtless due to some extent | to the poor outlook for the corn crop. | The opening was easy, but strength de- veloped later in sympathy with the coarse grains. Outsiders led the buying of lard | and ribs. but local packers took on con- | siderable stock on the weak spots. Sep 1 tember pork sold between $13S and $14.10, closing 21ac higher at $l405: lard ranged between $S.42 and $S.57dS.60. closing with a gain of 12h at $S.671H. Ribs sold be- tween $7.s211 and s7.s51a, closing 71sc higher i at $90

SERGEANT JAspER,s FLAG.
The Relic Wanted for the Charles
 ton Exposition.

&@&kSs@s@S~~
 'sThe managers of the Charleston Ex- position" says William E. Curtis in The Chicago Record Herald. "have solicited the ai dof Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambassador at washington, and MT. Choate, the American Ambas- sador at London, to secure the nag of the famous revolutionary Sergeant Jasper. which is reported to be in the Tower of London. Nobody. however. sesms to know anything about 1t. There is no reference to it in the guide books. which contain l6ng lists of trophies. and it Is exceedingly doubtful if there is in the Tower of London or anywhere else in Great Britain more than one flag captured in battle from forces of the United States. The only one have ever seen hangs over the tomb of Ed ward Phillipsi in the Cathedral at Chester. and the label records that 1t was captured at the battle of Bunker's Hili.' It is rudely made, about four feet long and two feet in width, with only eight or ten stripes and about as many stars. once ascertained by in- Quiry that it was presented to the 5Chester Cathedral by an officer Of the army of that country who served on the British side during the Revolu- tionary War, and was placed over the tomb of Phillipsi because he was one of the most prominent Tories in the American colonies.
 Tn Ramsey's History of the Revolu- tion.' page 159 Is a footnote describing the gallant conduct of Sergeant Jasper at the battle of Fort Moultrie, when he seized the colors from the hand of Lieutenant Hume as the latter fell wounded. and planted them upon the ramparts of the fort. Tn doing so.' the note says. he received a wound which Terminated in death. but. the retreat being ordered. he brought off the coiors with him. These were taken at the fall of Charleston and are said to be now in the Tower of London Jasper received his death wound at the battle of Savannah. and not at the battle of Fort Moultrfe, and the statement that his colors are in the Tower of London may be equally inaccurate"

MARKET FOR FUTURES
COTTON WAS LIVELY AND MOST
 ERRATIC.
The One Aim of the Trade Was to Even Up Accounts Preparatory to an Adjournment
 Until Monday.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Without being broad market in any sense of the termi the cotton market today was lively ana most cratic. As bulls and bears obtained control by turns, so prices advanced and declined The one aim of the trade seem cd to be to even up all accounts prepara tory to an adjournment until Monaay. The opening was quiet and nrm witn prices 60ll points higher in sympathy with great strength in the English mar ket and on reports of the drought rom the parched districts of the Southwest. After a slight further improvement on room covering. the market turned weak and broke to Wednesdays final figures under liouidation and some pressure from leading bears. There were sharp reac- tions and declines later. according as business for pit account turned. The crop news averaged up bullishly. Southern spot markets were officially described as firm and advancing. while cloth markets were active.
 The weather forecast failed to indi- cate any change in Texas for the better; in fact, no rain was promised for the Western belt, except light showers m scattered localities. Near the close the English market broke badly in sympathy with our weakness. The market was finally quiet and steady with prices net unchanged to points higher.

Naval Stores.


 SAVANNAH, July 5.-(Special) )-while there has been unusual activity in both branches of the naval stores market dur ing the past week price changes have not been wide. The wholesome demand has kept trading in progress on a satis- factory basis and the week closes with several round lots having changed hands.
 Little of interest developed in the in- terior of moment to the general trade. Producers still find the prices of necessa- ries above what they can afford to pay and make anything for themselves and the problem now before them is how to reduce the cost of production. or by some will bring them out all right Whether they will be able to do either remains to be seen, but the probabilities are that the tural laws. With a continued good de- mand the trade looks for a steady inn provement ip values, which will largely relieve the present condition of producers. couraging feature that production is not running wild, as 1t did last season, which is sure to have beneficial effect upon the market. In adition to this the worlds consumption has increased, If anything, which will increase the demand propor- tionately.
 The receipts of turpentine for the past week wee ,S were s against eo last year. The receipts of rosins have been 22637. against 2O.451 last year. and the exports H.3l2. against 10.563 last year. The receipts of spirits for the season have been HOSTS and the exports ss,9A, and the seasons receipts of rosin 3s4.376, against exports of 2s9. 40s.
 The market shows no signs of softness and the indications point to continued buoyancy. There are a number of ves- sels in port loading naval stores for the other side. and others are expected daily. Both the Seaboard Air Line and the Plant System are handling large lots of these products.

The labor problem is to be carefully and responsibly studied by a commission of nine appointed by the recent convention of the Episcopal church. held in San Francisco. This commission consists of Bishop Potter of New York, Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts, Bishop An derson of Chicago. the Rev Randolph H. Mcxim of Washington, the Rev Charles D. Williams of Ohio, the Rev. George Hodges of Massachusetts, Jacob Riis and Seth Low of New York and Samuel Haher of Ohio. This commission is to report to the next convention of the church, which will meet in Boston in 1904.
 This convention is made up of strong men, and most of them are men who have already studied the problem in hand. Not one of them can be said to be the representative of capital, while all are humanitarians of the highest ideals. Particularly is this true of Jacob

the downtrodden everywhere.
 This may also be said of Bishop Law renee. He is the wealthiest bishop of the Episcopal church in this country. His wealth Is inherited wealth, but no one in his church works harder than he does; no one is less inclined to lead life of ease and luxury. / and the care of the poor is ever on his conscience He will be a faithful member of the commis- sion.
 It is believed every member of the com mission will take hold of the labor prob lem with a strong desire to accomplish some good. The studies of the commits sion will be thorough and just and reason able. It may be, too, that the commits sion will be called upon to act in the case of strikes as an intermediary be- tween labor and capital It will not be apt to hesitate if so called upon, but 1t was not appointed so much for that pur- pose as it was appointed to study the problem and report some plan for the ameleoration of existing conditions.

Riis, whose books upon slum life in New York have given him a worldwide repu- tation. Setn Low, too, has long watched In the most thoughtful manner the re- lations of labor and capital, and no doubt he will give no little time to the prob lem.
 Bishop Potter has all along shown a de- sire to serve the masses, although he Is at the head of a diocese that includes n small share of the wealth of the coun- try. At every turn Bishop Potter has, however, shown himself friend of the weak and the poor and he is building cathedral in order that he may have one endowed church in which no pews will be rented, in which the poor will be as welcome as the rich There are to be no renting of pews and no passing of the plate in the cathedral An endowment fund is guaranteed as the building is ad- vanced towards completion. No matter how many aristocrats and plutocrats he may have in his care, he can be trusted to work for the people, and especially for
