CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. June 17.-Dry. hot weather in
the southwest had bearish effect on
wheat here today. After declining to 87as.
July rallied to sTasas7A A decline in Liver
pool helped send July corn of to 52A. In
sympathy with weakness of other grains
July oats declined to 307sa3l.
Later in the session the market turned
suddenly strong. Led by an influential
trader shorts became active bidders for
wheat and with comparatively light offer
ings prices quickly advanced. A sharp
upturn at Minneapolis had considerable
effect here. At S9AaSSs July touched the
highest point of the day. The market
closed strong with July up precisely 1c.. at
S9lsaS3A
Partly in response to the advance in
wheat the corn market later became strong.
Shorts were active buyers. Another factor
that helped to bring out the demand was
reports of light acceptances. The market
closed almost at the highest point. After

POPE SENT PRESIDENT MESSAGE
Expression Of Good Will Through
Archbishop Kama

The pope received In private audience at
Rome yesterday the Most Rev John 7
Keane. archbishop OF Dubuque. Iowa. The
audience took place in the private library
of the pope. who had the archbishop sit
next to him. His holiness spoke in the most
cordial manner for half an hour. displaying
great interest In the report Of the work OF
the diocese presented by the archbis hop
and inquiring about the condition OF the
clergy and the character of the people.
Archbishop Keane, having thanked the
pope for a telegram sent by him to the con-
vention of Catholic temperance societies
held at Cedar Falls, Iowa. his holiness en-
phasized the importance of inducing the
American people to abstain from intoxicat-
ing liquors and practice the fundamental
virtue of temperance. The pope sent his
blessing to he temperance workers not
only Of Dubuque, but of the entire United
States.
The conversation having turned on the
subject of the papal note regarding the ex-
elusive singing of sacred music by male
choirS in the Catholic churches of the
United States. the pope declared that while
his note enunciated the principle of the
rules o be followed he fully accepted the
fact that its practical application must be
gradual and slow.
The pontiff said that knowing Archbishop
Keane to be personal friend of President
Roosevelt he would beg him to present to
the President his respectful and affec-
tionate good wishes both for Mr. Roose-
Welt and his country
Archbishop Keane will leave Rome Mon
day next for Bad Nauheim. where he will
remain three weeks. He expects to be in

SHAW AT RICHMOND.
Talked on Foreign Trade to the Vir-
ginia Bankers.

Secretary Shaw was the star speaker be-
fore the Virginia Bankers Association at
Richmond. Va. last night. The speech of
the Secretary was delivered at the close OF
an elaborate banquet and was warmly ap-
plauded. The widespread report that Mr..
Shaws name may be prominent among
those who will aspire to the next nominal
ton for the presidency lent additional IN
terest to his presence. and he was heard
with close attention. He devoted himself
mainly to the needs of the foreign trade of
the United States, saying. in part:
- IF we expect to increase our exports of
manufactured products we must learn to
conform to the requirements of the foreign
trade. We will find It much easier to pro-
duce textiles, wearing apparel tools and
utensils such as are used, for instance, in
South America, than to teach the people
of South America to wear our style of
shos. our patterns of prints and to use our
make of plows.
Thus far Americans have been persistent
non-conforrnfsts. Because foreign countries
come to us for raw cotton and food products
we have assumed that they will come with
equal eagerness for our manufactures. This
they will never do The countries which
supply South America, South Africa, the ISL
ands Of the sea and the orient are the coun-
tries that study the wants as well as the
needs Of those to whom they SELL
