Of cruelty to animals and
youns children is the Washington HUI
meme Society. It's efforts are directed
to the enforcement of the laws on the
statute books against cruel drivers of
draft animals. the heartless owners of
birds and quadrupeds. and parents Who
fail properly to care for their offspring.
Through its appointed agents the work
is carried on without ostentation. and
often without the knowledge Of the pub
lie Many cases are investigated. ar
rests are sometimes made and the guilty
punished. Brutal men frequently are
taught salutarv lessons in the care and
use Of animals. and the life of the pa
tient creatures who do the heavy work
Of the city is made more endurable
through the efforts of the society.

part of the session. wheat developed into
strong, steady, advancing market, with
no general leadership but with an outside
interest of considerable proportions EN-
phatic reports of damage by Hessian fly
continue from Kansas and there were nu-
merous reports of similar nature from
Indiana this morning. The fact that these
reports continue to come in, in the face of
the devious credence they have received,
probability p Of their being based ON fact;
although the disposition of late has been
to ascribe them mainly to the crop killer. "
Worlds visible decreased 4,394, 900; contract
stock. 100000, showing decrease of 2OS, 600
There were Is loads taken at the seaboard
contract and 10 estimated for tomorrow.
CORN-The corn action was largely SYM
pathetic with wheat and of a lethargtc ma
ture. There was strength toward the close
on general outside buying and covering by
shorts who sold yesterday. The principal
strength in corn was the marked lessening
of country acceptances, 100000 less than yes
terday Cash demand quiet and only $1,000
bu. reported sold from here and loads
taken at the seaboard. Contract stock, l.,
09SO0O; shows a decrease OF $4,000. Three
hundred and eleven cars received with 1S
contract and 100 estimated for tomorrow,
OATS-There is still no relief from the
drouth situation in Illinois, which helped
prices to advance about %q1c and induced
a general scramble of shorts to cover
There was free selling or september early
by the local talent, but IT was all taken
back and helped the advance when the out
side buying commenced Receipts. 243 cars,
with 10 contract. There was no cash busi-
ness reported. Standard stock, 321 ,000
shows an increase of 24.OO0 Estimated for
tomorrow, so cars.
PROVISIONS-There was a fair demand
for July pork by commission houses, un-
doubtedly to cover shorts Offerings were
light and scattering Liverpool cables were
Sd lower for hams and Cumberland cuts
Lard, unchanged. Would advise purchases
of July and September pork on all de-

CATTLE-There was a liberal run of cat
tie here today, and as packers are looking
for liberal receipts the remainder OF the
week they did not take hold with mucn
life and the market was rather slow, with
the tendency Iof prices downward
Beef steers again made up the bulk OF
the receipts, and the market could be
quoted slow and weak to a diIne lower.
The handy weight cattle of good quality
did not suffer 10 any extent but the heavy
cattle and especially tbose shat were not
of very good quality, were slow sale and
safely a dime lower. Sellers all wanted
steady prices, so the day was well ad-
Yanced before a clearance was made:
There is not any great supply OF COWS
and heifers in the yards this morning and
as a result prices did not suffer as badly
as might be expected. 1t was an uneven
market, however, so that while some sales
men thought they got steady prices oshers
were calling the market lower. The weak
ness did not seem to be conhned 10 any
one kind, as all grades sold from STEADY 70
a dime lower in extreme cases. owing 10
the moderate offerings the bulk OF the cat
tie was soon disposed OF. -
Bulls, veal calves and stays sold at gem
orally steady prices. -
The supply of stockers and feeders was
very light again this morning, and as there
were several buyers on the market from the
country II is safe to quote all desirable
grades fully steady. Spectators tound
ready sale yesterday for all the c'lttle they
bot ght and their pens were again empty
this morning. The demand, however, Is
confined very largely to the better grades
and common cattle are hard to move. hep-
