Miss Thon1pson'S Pains are Cured.
A JULY CORN DEAL.
Millions Involved in Big Struggle Be
tween Bulls and Bears.

Chicago, H., June Coalitions of
dollars are involved in deal in July
corn which has become the ground for
Il fierce struggle between two big fac
lions in the speculative world Behind
the bull campaign in the July headings.
which has resulted in q sharp advance
in the price of that commodity on the
local exchange in the last few days, is
crowd of Wall Street Spectators
whose wealth is said to aggregate mil
lions.
Opposing the efforts of the New York
operators to corner the market are the
local elevator interests, which also have
big financial equipment behind them.
SO far. the bull party represented in
the pit by Harris. Gates & Co, has had
the best end OF the deal They have
succeeded in sending the price OF July
corn up several cents. They have
forced most of the smaller shorts to
cover. but the big shorts, and they are
supposed to be the elevator people, are
still holding out.
1t is taken as q significant circum-
stance that John w. Gates arrived here
from New York, Monday forenoon, the
day when the New York bulls started
July corn on the upward tendency
which it still holds. Harris, Gates x
Co.. of which John w. Gates son,
Charles. is a partner, set everybody
guessing by buying one minute and
selling the next. But the firm is gen.
orally credited with being the principal
Chicago agency for the New York
buyers in what is, on the surface, a
puzzling situation on the market. The
leading seller, Monday, was Bartlett.
Frazier d Co, and, Tuesday, that firm
took 100000 bushels in the first 80 min
utes after the opening. That led to the
supposition that the firm also is act
| ing for the bulls in the East. I
The bull party holds contracts calling
| for delivery of 100000 bushels or more
of corn before the last day of July.
| Already the elevator people are busy
making up contract corn in their pri-
vate houses from their low grades, and
| transferring it to public elevators.

DUN'S REPORT.
Trade in the East Is Dull for
This Season.
The Crop indications on the Whole Are
Unusually Favorable.
The Great Strikes Are FeIt-RaiIroad
Earnings Increase.

New York, June 2O-R. G. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade, tomor-
row, will say:
Trade at the East is more quiet ow-
ing to the advancing season, and the
bad effect of prolonged labor contro-
versies is being felt in certain lines.
Reports from the interior and the far
West are more encouraging, bountiful
harvests being expected.
In some industries the week has
brought advances in wages and evil
dences of better feeling. Railway earn
lnSs reported for June increased SO per
cent in comparison with last year and
20 per cent. over 1900.
Quiet conditions prevail in Eastern
dry goods and foot wear markets.
Buyers of cotton goods take only for
immediate consumption, indicating
faith in cheaper raw material with the
new season, and consequent reductions
in products.
Supplemental buying of woolens is
limited in part owing to the tardy de-
livery of sample pieces. 1t is note
worthy that prices in all textile lines
are firmly held despite the slow move
of the sellers. Shoe shops in New Eng
land have more orders, yet most facto-
ries only operate part time, and some
are entirely idle.
Lack of rain in the Southwest is the
only seriously unfavorable crop indica-
ton of the week, while exceptionally
encoura ging reports are received from
most points. Domestic grain makes
good progress, but bad news has been
received from abroad and the outlook
is favorable for large exports. COM
PARSONS for the week with last years
movement show losses. however. the
outgo of wheat, flour included. from all
parts of the United States amounting
to only 2,3S0,42 bushels, against 1851,
027 year ago while Atlantic coast
shipments of corn were 1854 bushels,
compared with 1,926,5l1 last year.
Failures for the week numbered 1914
in the United States. against 1873 last
year, and 10 in Canada, against IA a
year ago.
of Canadian trade the Review will
say:
Aside from lumber exports, trade at
st. John is quiet. Crops are promising.
An abundant hay crop is expected in
the Halifax region, and other crops
are making good progress. General
business shows seasonable quiet, with
payments satisfactory. Wholesale
trade is fairly active at Toronto and
seasOnable weather has increased de-
mands for summer dry goods. Prices
of leading staples are firm and collec-
tions prompt. Trade is good at Hamil-
ton and fruit prospects bright. Cool
weather at Montreal retards sales of
light dry goods and there is less ac-
tivity in hardware, but business as
whole is good for the season, and there
are few complaints as to remittances.
Unreasonable weather has a depresS-
ing effect on trade and collections are
only fair at Quebec. Jobbers and re-
tailers report trade satisfactory at
Winnipeg, but rain interferes somewhat
with sales, and collections are only
fair

MISSING SOLDIERS.
Systematic Search in All Cases Viii
Probably Be Made.

Washington, June 20.-The wal
department is considering the ad-
visa bility of systematic inquiry
into the number of officers and
men who have been lost by dis
appearance in the Philippines. From
time to time many men have been re-
ported as having been lost in the vari-
Gus expeditions and campaigns. In
quiries come frequently from relatives
of men who have disappeared in this
way, and in most cases there is no in
formation to be given. 1t can only be
SAID that according to the official re-
ports the particular individual asked
about was lost sight of at some Ger
tam point on a certain date.
In few cases of disappearance the
men have subsequently been found and
tried as deserters. Some have been
heard from and never apprehended,
having gone over to the Filipinos as
officers. or having taken native wives
and eNpatriated themselves, so far as
citizenship in the United States is con-
cerned. These cases are, however, few.
In the case of two officers, Maj.
Charles NJ. Rockefeller of the regular
army WHO Adu served Slice 1871 ana
was commissioned second lieutenant
in 1867. and of Lieut.. Stockley, one of
the recent appointments from civil life,
the department has concluded that the
Filipinos must have murdered the miss
ing men, and their names have been
taken off the rolls. 1t is believed that
when the islands are more thoroughly
occupied by our forces and officials
more of the number of men who have
will turn up and be ac-
counted for. 1t is known that several
enlisted men have turned prospectors
and are engaged in the search for gold
in the mountain regions in the north of
LuZon.
