THIS BULGE.
And OTHERS
Continued From First Page.

conditions and prospects resulted
disastrously, and millions were lost by
Minneapolis traders and the country
folk of the northwestern states. The
latter were hit particularly hard, so
hard that they have not "dabbled in
wheat" since until this year.
The trend Of the market in 1900 is
interesting in comparison with this
years. Early in that year wheat was
down to 60%c for July. The spring
rainfall had been deficient, and until
the first of June scarcely any rain had
fallen over this northwestern wheat
belt. Damage was reported from all
quarters. Every day increased the
apprehension. When there had been
no rain up to the beginning of the
second week Of June, there was a,
great scare.
The result was that the northwest
ern farmer, who could look into his
own fields and see his wheat drying
up, sought to make up part of his
loss in the market and rushed to the
nearest town where there was a
brokers' agent and plunged in his own
small way. He figured that the men
in the Minneapolis pit didn't know as
much about the grain prospects as he
did, and he would get the bulge on
them.

SUE FOR DISSOLUTION OF
STANDARD OIL COMPANY.

Trenton, N. J., June 29.-Charles d.
Henderson, Jr, of Jersey City and Jo-
seph M. W. Newlin of Philadelphia,
council for George Rice of Marietta,
O., filed in the court of chancery bill
for the dissolution Of the Standard Oil
company, charging that the company
is illegal and that it exists in viola
ton of the antitrust laws of the United
States and of the decision in this state
relating to monopolies.
The bill charges that the Standard
Oil Co. in Ohio was declared illegal
by the courts of that state, but in obe-
dience to that decision, has, by subter-
fuge, evaded the Ohio decision and
that the New Jersey corporation is
merely a holding company for the
Ohio concern. The bill asks that not
only the company be dissolved, but
that it's assets be distributed among
it's stockholders after paying off its
outstanding securities.
For the accomplishment of this pur-
nose it is asked that a receiver be
apDOinted.

Senator German Makes Statement in
Regard to Report.

Washington, June Ex-senator Cor
man made the following statement
regarding the report, that he, with Ma
tional Committeeman Guffey, of Penn
sylvania, Mclean, of Ohio, Smith, of
New Jersey, and others had confer
ence here for the purpose of ascer-
tanning how many votes could be com
bined in the convention against Judge
Parker, the object being to secure one
third of the convention in order to
prevent his nomination.:
THE persistency and regularity
with which statements of this charac-
ter have appeared would seem to indi-
cate a studied desire to misrepresent
me- The fact is that all the conferences
have attended have related solely
to the proper organization of the con-
vention, which it is the duty Of every
member of the national committee to
any arrangements for effecting com.
bination to obstruct the efforts of any
candidate for the nomination. Mary
land delegates have not determined
the course they will pursue in regard
to the candidates at st. Louis, and
probably no conclusion will be reach
ed until after their arrival at st. Louis
and after an opportunity to confer
with the delegates from other states.
"As for the two-thirds rule, it is
necessary where the unit rule obtains,
as in Democratic conventions, but in
no case since the adoption of the two
thirds rule has any nomination been
prevented when a candidate has had
a clear and undoubted majority Of the
convention, and where that majority
is composed of delegates from Demo
cratic states they have always con-
trolled the convention"
