Manipulation OF July Corn Again

Cattle 10 Cents Higher and Hogs

Chicago. June 23.-Very favorable
weather for wheat harvesting and lower
cables brought an early dip in wheat
today July started Fs@a to 12@5s low
er at 727s to -. Some stop loss orders
come out, but covering sent the price to
1914. With the exception of liberal
northwestern receipts statistics We're
somewhat bullish.
The bulls turned the tables on the
early bears shortly after the first hour.
Statistics showed marked decreases in
stocks, the visible supply being de-
creased by 2,535,O00 bushels. A buying
movement set in that pushed July UP to
T4lS0745s and many bears We're caught.
The close was strong at y higher at
TAX GG743s.
Manipulation was apparent in corn
again at the opening today. Brokers
for the leading bulls openly bid up the
price of July without taking any con-
siderable stuff. Prices spurted at the
start but after little buying by COM
mission houses trade Jagged again. The
weather was fairly improved, save in
Iowa. Gables We're little higher and
the bulge in provisions had bullish eff
feet. July opened Il to IS up at &c to
66a, jumped to 671s, fell to 6612 and
steadied near 66%. September was firm
at small advance.
Corn continued in fair demand, espe-
cially December. Manipulation in July
strengthened prices. July sold rs up at
67 and September cent higher at 591s.
having sold 60.
Oats opened trifle easy with wheat
and improved weather. Receipts We're
larger. but there was q fair trade, and
in spite of some commission house SELL
ing prices advanced little. July OPP
ened Il down at 40 and sold at 40A.
Provisions again made record break
ing prices for the year. Hogs were in
fair supply. but prices at the yards
reached the top price for the year, S7.S5.
This started fair buying and some short
covering. A little liquidation at high
prices brought small reaction, but the
tone held strong.

The Italians have learned the fine
qualities Of their young king and they
adore him accordingly. One of his

his ease-loving Italians, and that is his
early rising. He is up and out every

stables, pacing the garden walks. or
even threading kitchen floors. and not

Punctuality is rare thing in Italy, 70:

such ways will not be permitted where

ISLAND OF ST. VINCENT ALSO.
Five Hundred Persons Met Death at
ST. Vincent Island.


ST. Thomas, D. w. l., May lad
vices received here from the Island
of Dominica, yesterday, say that
boats arriving there report that many
persons were drowned while crossing
to Dominica from the Island of
Martinique, where some of the out
parishes have been inundated. The
eruption of Mount Pelee (Martinique)
continues. The lava is progressing
northward. The whole northern re-
gion is now a rocky waste, denuded
of vegetation.
Reports from the island of ST. Vim
cent say that up to the afternoon of
Friday last over four hundred deaths
occurred there owing to the volcanic
outbreak in that island. Definite
news, however, is lacking. Many es-
tates were destroyed and steam and
ashes were belched forth from seven
in the morning until $50 at night.
The eruption is now invisible at
Kingston. Huge dust clouds were
blown eastward.
The thunderous noises, which are
continually increasing, were heard
in neighboring islands 200 miles away.
At midday the craters elected enor-
nous columns of steamy vapOr, ris-
ing majesticalIy eight miles high and
expanding into wonderful shapes, re-
sembling enormous caulif1OWers, gil
gantic wheels and beautiful flower
forms, all streaked up and down and
crosswise with vivid flashes of light
ming, aweing the beholder and i'm
pressing the mind with fear. The
mountain labored to rid itself of
mass of molten lava which later
flowed over, in six streams. down the
side of the volcano, and the greater
noises following united in one con-
tinuOus roar all evening and through
the night to Thursday morning, &C
companied with black rain, falling
dust and favilla scOrial, attended with
midnight darkness all Wednesday,
creating feelings of fear and anxious
suspense.
1t is impossible to give full de-
tails at present.
Great distress prevails at ST. Vim
cent, where there are many injured
persons. 1t is believed that about five
hundred persons have lost their lives
at st. Vincent. The majority of the
corpses are still unburied.

Mount PeIee Wore Its Warning
Smoke Cap" for Many Days.
Fort de France. Island of Marti-
nique, May 12.-Advices received here
yesterday from the vicinity of ST.
Pierre (ten miles from here) give fur
Their details of the terrible volcanic
upheavel which resulted in the utter
destruction of that city and the death
of nearly all its inhabitants.
The crater of Mount Pelee has been
wearing its ''smoke Cap" since the
third of May; but there was nothing
until last Monday to indicate that
there was the slightest danger On
that day a stream of boiling lava
burst through the top of the crater
and plunged into the valley of the
River Blanche, overwhelming the
Guerin sugar works, and killing %
work people and the son of the pro-
prietor.
n commission was appointed by the
governor to investigate the outbreak,
and it returned a reassuring report
on Wednesday evening. But about
eight o'clock on Thursday morning a
shower of fire rushed down on st.
Glerre, ana the coast from LIE CARPET,
which had population of 5000, to LIE
Precheur, which had a population of
1000, burning up everything in it's
path.
Throughout Thursday the heat in
the vicinity of ST. Pierre was so in
tense and the stream of flowing lava
was so unremittfng that it was i'm
possible to approach the town during
the early part of the day. As evening
approached the French cruiser
Suchet, after a heroic battle with the
heat, suffocation and sulphur fumes,
succeeded in making a dash toward
the shore, nearing the land close
enough to enable her to take off 80
survivors of the disaster, all of whom
were horribly burned and mutilated.
ST. Pierre at that time was an abso-
lutte. smoking waste, concealing 80,
600 corpses, whose rapid decomposi-
ton necessitated, in some cases, in
stantIy completing their cremation,
which was only partially accom-
plished by the lava.

The $50 survivors who were brought
here Saturday from the vicinity of st.
Pierre by the French cable repair
ship Pouyer Guertier, came from the
town of LIE Precheur, where, sur
rounded on all sides by flowing lava,
they were nearly roasted to death,
and expected momentarily to be en-
quilted.
The work of relief is progressing
here on the most extensive scale pos

Sensation at Normal College.

Because Miss Florence Demar, a
Florida student at the Normal School,
Nashville, was stricken with scarlet
fever her landlord had her locked in
her room and the doors to the water
closet closed against her and her
nurse. 1t is also alleged he told her
she must pay him $40 a month for
the room she and her nurse occupied.
She had been getting the room and
board for SIS month. When she was
stricken a panic ensued among the
other boarders and they all left. This
caused Landlord Noble to resort to
heroic measures, so it is alleged, and
he told the sick girl to leave the house.
She appealed to her physician, and the
City Board of Health met and ordered
Noble to let the girl remain where she
was. The incident created sensa-
ton in South Nashville.
