AN EXPERIMENT WITH WHEAT,
Effort to Obtain a Superior Grain by
 Process of Breeding.

EirorI to Ootaln Super.or Gram Dy
 Process of Breeding.
 J., N. Harper Of the Kentucky Experi- men. Station is engaged in an experi- ment which. if it proves a success, will be of the greatest value to the whole United States.
 The successful cattle breeder" said MT. Harper, selects his individuals with the greatest care. taking into con- sideration many points. From those produced he again selects with equal care the best individuals, mating them. and so on ad infnitum, producing with each generation a better individual, un- til the perfect animal is the result. The same rule applies in the breeding of horses, sheep and hogs, and it is this rule that am endeavoring to apply in the growing of wheat.
 After the most careful chemical anaylsis and examination under the microscope have discovered the best variety of wheat and the variety richest in protein. I have also examined the wheat under the miscroscope, and pho tographed cross sections of the grain. T will select the individual grains and plant them. Next year I will select from the grains produced the finest specimens, and in the following year will plant them. Tn this way I hope after several years to produce a very fine quality of wheat
 The experiment is in it's infancy and several years will be required to deter mine what it's value will be. Other ex- periments have been made with wheat, but with methods different from that which MT. Harper is following.-Lexing- ton Herald.

EXPOSITION WEEK NOTES.
Ccontinued from Ninth Page-)

Probably the most interesting of the displays for women are new spring gowns at this season, and as most of the visitors were women the Hamilton Etore was crowded all day. For exam pie, women stood for many minutes discussing the new ideas displayed in the beautiful gowns in the windows of this store.
 Women are always talking about the new things for their own wear. and no doubt for at least two months to come the Hamilton window display will be discussed in the suburbs of New Ha- ven, from which most of the visitors yesterday came.

co.bran a Co.'S Market Letter.

At the hour of our opening the Liver pool option department had answered all requirements and as their closing hour drew near a further improvement was noted. the winter months finally showing an advance of six English points. Cables attributed a good undertone to the market and Manchester reported cloths Tn mod crate demand with yarns steadier.
 Interest in our market at the opening was largely centered in July contracts, 1t being tender day for those options, but such notices as were Issued were prompt ly stopped and support given by bids for liberal quantities, hence an event regard cd by some as a possible crisis proved rather a tame affair. This support, how ever, was not without its effect on win ter positions, inducing number of shorts to cover and causing a rapid advance which was only temporarily maintained Crop news from all sections continues most excellent.
 If all the reports of boil weevil circu- lated from points outside of Texas are true, the silence of that state Is almost sufficient to justify the belief that con- certed action has been adopted that in the ultimate result of the Texas crop this pest must be carefully considered from only few localities have direct reports 
 present time. During July and August numerous crop scares may be depended upon to advance prices sharply from time to time, and with bearish senti- ment prevalent. the opportunity to take moderate profits on the consequent re- actions will be frequently offered.
 There was a wave of profit-taking in the market in the early trading today, everybody having speculative holdings concluding to sell on the republican con vention and on the idea that the mar ket had discounted its favorable features by the recent improvement. Some of the bears in the afternoon began to put out short lines on the belief that stocks should not discount by reaction the dem ocratic convention with It's unfavorable factors.
 We incline to the opinion that trading market will not be seen for time but the fact should not be forgotten that all the time, especially with fine weather, the fundamentals of the financial situa- tion are steadily growing. Sales, 21o. 500.

Caldwell & Wards Market Letter.

by Il. ~ IS. Beer
 New Orleans, June -Cotton-Judging from the easier tendency of spots at Liverpool where quotations were reduced points to 614d for mddling on sales of 5000 bales. and frmness or futures, which closed to g points higher than last night, contracts were advanced by buying orders from America, especially from New Orleans, where longs stopped about 2000 July notices. The market ruled very narrow during the session, July ranging 10. 42 to 10.60; October 9. .31 to 2. .45 It is evident that we are to have a scalp ing market since traders are not disposed to follow new crop months below 9.25 There is some little disappointment in the failure of new bales to follow one an- other more rapidly. It Is week since the first two new bales have been mar keted, the fruit of which was not of or dinary cotton, but of the stubble or vol unteer kind, and we have yet to receive the first new bale from this years plant ing. The recent rains in southwest Texas have been very heavy measuring over fours inches in some places, and reports from that section of Texas state that the heavy downpour has resulted in more shedding. Apprehension is also felt lest there be some delay of crop maturing on that account, and it was thought that the wet weather will be productive of in sects, of boil weevils and an increase in boil worms, which are doing great harm already. Now that notice day has come and gone and contracts are selling al a discount from spots we are most likely to witness a steadier market until we hear more of new bales. and of the south west offering to Europe.
 There was more business transacted in spots today than generally supposed buyers going about their work in a quite way, factors selling 400 bales from tables and 800 to arrive at unchanged prices, against about 1o.45 for July The South Atlantic states and Alabama are in need of rain, not having received a sufficiency of moisture. and until re- lief is furnished that section of the belt the market will be affected accordingly, even though dry conditions prevail in the southwest: In short, the market has about discounted all favorable features on the surface. leaving the situation subject to unfavorable developments, 1t being all most impossible for all sections of the cotton. region to be blessed with perfect crop conditions.
