The present quiet condition of the market Is due in a large measure to the belief prevailing amongst many that the weather during June has no significant bearing the ultimate size Of the crop. July and August are regarded as she critical months prior to the frost period therefore there is no disposition .o act freely on immediate developments though the i'm precision obtains that Texas has not received rain in satisfactory, quantity and this fact of itself serves to contribute a steadiness to the tone.

Especial to The Advertiser1
 NEW ORLEANS June 23.-The insuffIciency of rains in Texas over Sunday caused Liver pool to be more favorable than expected and higher The prediction of clear weather for Texas during the next 36 hours occasi~ned an additional advance of 3M6 points making the net gain the day o@ l4 points Texas weather conditions continue to attract atten- fion of the trade. Although l9 counties in the Texas rVported from light to good rains on Saturday, there are a number of counties claiming moisture Is badly needed The weather prevalent in Texas daily will have an important bearing on values. If general rains materialize soon the market will decline other wise the chances are in favor of a further advance ultimately. With the good rains which have fallen in all the cotton States. during the past week, the weekly weather re- port tomorrow ought to be generally favorable. Manchester cables state that there was no i'm provement last week in the demand from the large consuming centres The inquiry from India for futures was poor and buyers were seldom tempted by the low figures the ready willing to accpt

 ssa by American claims of the Texas crop being ignored and shorts were rather nervous As matter of fact. Texas has been holding mp remarkably well. but it is a question how long the crop will stand the drought. The sit uation there is the chief sustaining factor At lanue States conditions are generally fine and all sections outside Texas are believed to show remarkably fine crop prospects Good Texas rains would break the market sharply while the protraction of the drought will un- doubtedly improve prices materially. Some Texas reports this morning rather alarm ing, but it noteworthy that the sections sending most doeful reports were admitting the possibility of fine crop should rain fall within few days. while some reports went 90 far as to coneede the possibility of a bumper crop. big rains at Galveston and Weldon. N C.. were reported for Sunday. The forenoon market ruled dull. but quite steady Final cables were higher for old crop months, only four Texas stations reporting rains on Sunday from o5 to .o3 inch Receipts at all ports were estimated today at $500, against $500 last year.

WAS CALLED AN HONEST MAN.
A Bank Cashier Had an Interview With Some Children and Falls
 to Meditating.

New York Post
 The cashier of one of the Brooklyn banks has been pondering over a problem In morals this week. For ten years now great sums of money have passed through his hands, and reposed in his care day after day, and they have been as so much hay to him. He has heafi of defaulters and wondered. He never could understand this temptation, and he walked in the pride and complac ence of an honest man. Last Sunday this cashier was seated with his dog on the bank Of a stream that winds through Prospect Park when boat crowded with children and rowed by park attendant passed slowly by. The children were shouting and laugh ing. They hallooed for no other reason than to hear the sound of their voices The attendant pulling doggedly at the oars. seemed annoyed by the clamor. Suddenly one of the boys lost his rubber ball overheard. The children pointed to it. hobbing in the wake of tho boat. and begged the man to turn back and get It. but he kept surly silence and rowed on,

CHICAGO. June 2s.-Grain bears were caught in a trap today and were squeezed to the good profit of the bulls On n fickle W ath- CT market bears were induced to sell until the markets were oversold. Early weakness however, especially in wheat, was dispelled before the very bullish argument Of greatly decreased stocks and everything on the board ra llied and advanced with rush. At the close July wheat was %c higher, llsc higher and July oats 1ac up. Provisions closed l2is d35c higher at record-making prices.
 Clearing conditions in the wheat fields as shown by the weather map at the opening Augmented by lower cables induced liberal early Iiquidation and short selling of wheat Alter last weeks bulish arguments on wet weather followed by Saturdays break the bears thought that prices were much too high for the fair warm weather they had in their mind for the harvests. The excitement over wheat scarcity abroad seemed to have subsided and this gave tho bears encouragement. Bulls who had paper profits that were threatened hasteued to take them. A d result July opened MG3i to i.HHsc down at 725sa73 There were few carly bulish statistics that were lost sight of for time. but soon the crowd perceived that the Pit was oVersold.
