CHICAGO, June 19.-Lower cables
reports of fine crop weather and stories
of damage by rains in Kansas, put the
wheat market in variety of moods to-
day. July closed unchanged. July corn
closed A0ssc higher; July oats I'M
changed, and provisions from 7h@1O
to zoe up.
Dizziness prevailed during the early
part of the session, though there was
considerable trade later. Wheat open
ed Is to Ac lower at 70 to 701sc for
July on lower cables and continuation
of conditions favorable to the growing
crop. Covering by shorts caused an
advance to 703sc, the highest point of
the day The worlds visible supply was
a disappointment to bulls, showing 1885,
900 bushels increase and under free
offerings the market declined to 69Ac
Good shipping 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 sea-
board clearances of wheat and -four
were equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary
receipts were 4S7,00o bushels, compared
with $4,000 a year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 313 cars. against
$50 last week and 81 a year ago. Local
receipts were 124 cars, four of contract
grade.
Corn was quiet but firm and slightly
higher most of the session on account
of the small receipts and the insight
fcant proportion of contract quality.
While weather was generally suspicious
the growth and appearance of the plant,
according to general reports from the
country, left much to be desired. and
there was not enough encouragement IN
the prospect for the next crop to offset
the effect of the present small supply.
July ranged between 43 and 1870, clos
ing A@asc improved and steady at
L.
four of contract grade.
Oats were active, and received consid-
cradle support from the best sellers Of
yesterday. Commission houses and To-
cal shorts bid July up fraction over
yesterdays high prices. Crop advices
were bad, rust shorts being common
1t looks as if local long interests have
accumulated a large line of July. July
had narrow range, selling between
% at the opening and 2SSsc, closing
steady and unchanged at 2S2sc.
Provisions were strong. Buying OF
lard was on such a scale that shorts
took alarm and helped by their pur-
chase to swell the price as well as the
volume of trading. July pork ranged
between $14S21a and s14S712, closing
zoe higher at the latter figure. July lard
ranged between $3.50 and $50, closing
15@171Rc higher at the latter figure.
July ribs ranged between $500 and 1910
@S121s, closing at the latter figure with
gain of 71z@1Oc.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat 40 cars; corn IT'S cars; oats 125
cars; hogs $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK, June 1s.-London was
dull to-day, and prices were irregular
The London money rates show NO
change. but here the tendency is to
higher percentages, which will probably
rule for some time to come.
No rallying power was shown by the
market this afternoon, and in the great
bulk of securities the selling was bet
ter than the buying. The trading apart
from these broad features, was without
particular interest, except that some OF
the recently doomed specialties suffered
sharp losses. Money rates again rose to
five per cent. to-day, and are considered
certain to remain high for . while yet
While this does not warrant exDecta-
tons of severe breaks on the general
market, it is expected to restrain spec
ulation for the rise and cause sagging
tendency.
The close was dull and heavy.

Dat Smut in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment Station desires to secure from
farmers information relative to the
damage to oats the present season by
smut. Investigations by the writer
show that in many fields in Dane
county the loss through smut the
present season will amount to from 10
to % per cent. of the total crop. In
some cases the farmers were not
aware of the presence of smut in their
fields until it was shown them by the
writer. Farmers are apt to be miSied
because the Smutted oat stems do not
grow to full height and SO the affected
heads are not readily seen.
The farmer can determine the
percentage of loss to his crop through
smut by counting the oat heads on a
given area. To accomplish this take
ordinary barrel hoop to the oat field
and throw it over the standing grain.
Then count the number of smutted
and normal Oat heads within the hoop.
Make several counts and average the
result. Farmers doing this are urged
TO send report of their findings to
the undersigned.
The Wisconsin Station offers to all,
for asking a simple, inexpensive and
effective method of preventing oat
smut. Address,
r. A. MOORE.

Boominu Your Town.

The Milwaukee Journal makes an
excellent suggestion in the following
paragraph about Booming Your
Town
In booming your town it is not
necessary to diSparage any other, or
any region, far or near, TO which i'm
migration is attracted. Every region
has its advantages which appeal to
some one. Nothing is gained by
stirring up opposition or luminosity.
Your particular place has some pre-
dominant advantage which it is your
duty to make known in the best
possible light. OF that, or those, give
the particulars. Allegations of bound
less values and glorious opportunities
count for but little. If you have a
water power, describe it fully and
tell what it is capable of doing. II
you have mineral resources, mention
them specifically and tell the stage of
development already attained. 1t is
not enough to remark that unbounded
wealth lies beneath the surface. Give
your boom facts as the basis, specific
facts.

Married to Save the Pig.

In order to save the life Of q pig Hi
ram johnson and Miss Matilda Parkln-
son, Wlkssbarre Pa, were married last
week by Alderman Conehan, Of Wilkes
barre, whose reputation as Solomon Is
thereby enhanced. Miss Parkinson sp.
pealed to him the other day for JUS
tice. She said that Hiram johnson,
who owned a farm next to hers at Hud-
son, had stolen the pig from her. She
also said that they had known each other
for years and were always good friends.
When the squire sent for johnson he
said the pig was his and be could prove
it. As neither would yield Alderman
Conehan had the hearing Thursday.
Each arrived with several Witnesses VINO
sWoTe the pig belonged to one Or the
other, and, as the evidence Of each
side was Of equal weight, the alderman
made a decision worthy Of his reputa-
tion. He said the pig should be killed
and then divided equally. Both Miss
Parkinson and johnson objected strenu-
ously that the pig was not old enough
to kill, and besides it was dear little
pig, etc. There was no settlement IN
sight, and the squire suggested smiling
ly: "Why don't you marry and keep
the pig in the family? You are old
enough" Each is over so. The sug:
gestion pleased them. They went into
. corner, talked it over, and came out
hand-in. hand and blushing. The alder
man married them and they took the
pig home.
