GREAT SLUMP IN PROVISIONS
THE GRAIN MARKET
WAS 0YERSHAD0WED
Manipulation Of Wheat Carried that
Cereal Up and Made Other
Grains Advance.

Chicago, July 22.-There was marked vari-
nnce between the slump in the provisions
market today and the highly manipulated
condition of September wheat that in
huenced sharp advances In all grains In the
face Of bearish conditions. Outsiders tired
OF carrying the load of lofty prices for
the packing interests unloaded today with
such vim that pork broke Is a barrel On
the other hand, the rumor that a leading
packer was under September wheat pushed
that cereal up sharply. sympathy did the
rest, and July and September wheat closed
"a up. July corn IA higher; September corn
lM1M up; July cats 3 higher and Septem'
her oats 1MlM higher. Provisions closed
22Ia to 20 cents lower
Trade In provisions, although not heavy,
was almost panicky at times today Hogs
at the stock yards have been marketed
much more freely Of late, tempted by high
prices. Today prices there slumped to a
hgure 30 cents under last Fridays prices.
I5uyers were very hearsh and as result
the temper in the provision pit was bear
islily Influenced The outsider who took
on a good load during the recent bull squirt
has grown quite tired Of the burden. Gen
eral liquidation, which set In to some ex-
tent yesterday, was very marked today.
There was vigorous trading on the part OF
the professionals, but few specua tors want
ed the stuff Packers seemed to have
abandoned their pet market until toward
tta close, WHOM little stuff was taken IA
stop the decline. September pork, which
opened 20 to - lower at 1880 To II %,
plunged down to 1873 and closed 10 cent
lower at l130. september lard opened "a
to Oh down at 10.6TIa to l07212, sold e
1t.Sc, and then broke to 1880, closing very
weak 22la cents lower Mt lo.52l9. Septem'
Der ribs opened 17h to 2212 cents down Mt
1c.eo to 1o.G5, sold Mt to.20 and closed
weak 421a cents lower at 1925.

Spectators in the street coronation seats
who at first were charging exoroltant
prices are now lowering them by leaps and
bounds. A general slump is setting in The
best West End situations are now at
minimum of two guineas instead of three
guineas. Two windows at Temple Bar were
sold this week for seventy-hve guineas.
Two hundred guineas was the price orig
inalIy asked. The churches have all let
their grounds to spectators in stands for
lump sum. Consequently they will not
suffer from the slump. As an example 81.
Margaret's Church, Westminster, will get
5000 guineas for its grounds.
A secret emergency door is being built
in Westminster Abbey The location is
known only to their Majesties and few
during the coronation service they can get
immediate egress.
EDWARD AND SALISBURY.
The relations between King Edward and
the premier, Lord Salisbury. do not seem
to improve. According to general belief
among members of the House of Commons.
the King wants Lord Salisbury TO dissolve
Parliament after the coronation and ''go
to the country" otherwise have a general
election, and the premier has refused
point blank. He apparently sees no reason
why the government should not reap the
fruits of the recent victory for the next
few years. The King. the other hand.
and he is supposed in this to be much in
fluenced by Lord Rosebery, believes in the
ancient custom that the death of the Sow
ereign involves a dissolution of Parlia-
ment
King Edward is the first sovereign whose
succession has not been followed by par
liamentary dissolution. The King is UNI
derstood to take the standpoint that this
is not his Parliament, il having been elect
ed prior to his succession, and, apart from
any political prejudices, he wishes TO feel
that the House of Commons has been elect
ed by the people under his rule, according
to all precedent So strongly has this re-
port gained ground that the party organiza-
tons are already taking steps tentatively
to select candidates for the various seats,
though even the highest officials seem TO
have no definite idea of how the struggle
between the aged premier and the new
sovereign will end. The Liberals are play
ing a watching game. If the government
decides to dissolve Parliament il will be
met with the bitter opposition OF the Lib
erals. who will then openly declare that
this contention they will have general sup
port. for apart from the merits OF the case
scarcely any members of what is compare
lively a new Parliament desire to so soon
go through the expense and worry OF an
other general election.
