Millionaires Still Toy
With Cereals.
WHEAT HAS DROPPED
For the Reason That SpecuIa-
tors Are Letting IL Alone
Strawberries are
About ALL"

The manipulations of the million
aires in the corn pit are becoming
more apparent every day. Wheat is
coming down in price, but corn is be-
ing gradually forced up, and oats are
being carried with the latter, as they
are in some degree rival of the maize.
Just when the spectators will relip-
qnish their hold upon the market and
let corn go back to normal prices is
not known, but it may not be until
well on toward the time of harvesting
this years crop.
Strawberries are of poor quality.
A prominent dealer Thursday morning
was labelling them cents a quart
when reporter called to get the mar
ket reports. owing to the quality and
condition.. said the dealer, as he
thrust the ticket down into a basket
Of soft, inferior berries. A good quail .
ity still sells for 10 or IL cents.
The supply Of early vegetables is
quite large in the stores, and they are
in great demand.

Madrid, June 26.-Since the acces-

tween him and the dowager queen

quent and violent that they have be-

Recently, i'm the presence of serv-
ants, the young king informed his
mother that he would expel her from

wishes.
Alfonso's manners have been gener-
