CHICAGO. June 6.--The wheat mar
ket was strong all day. There was a
good demand at the opening by COM
mission houses and pit traders, and as
the day advanced the demand became
more general Offerings were light
throughout the session. The main fac
tor in the situation was the state crop
report of Kentucky which gave the
conditio of fall sown wheat in that
state on June as rs, against 81 on the
first of May. The deterioration was
said to have been caused by lack of
moisture. Other factors that strength
ened the market were excessive rains
In the northwest, dry weather in Ne
braska, reports OF damage in Texas and
Oklahoma, an advance of one cent in
the price of cash wheat at Kansas City.
The market closed strong with prices
near the highest point of the day. July

Among recent articles of incorpora-
ton filed is one Of considerable sig
nifcance by the Greater Los Angeles
Water company, the directors being E.
Avery Mccarthy, James p. Mccarthy,
Charles Mccarthy, John D. Mccarthy
and S. M. Haskins. The object of the
company is to furnish water for domes-
tic purposes in that portion of the city
that is growing and building up so fast
south of Slauson avenue, along the
lines of South Park avenue San Pedro
street, Main street and Moneta avenue.
A recent franchise was granted e. A.
Mccarthy by the board of supervisors
over all the principal streets in this
section, running as far south as Man
chester avenue, which will be assigned
to the new water company, and the
Mccarthy company will turn over to
this new water company the complete
water system running from Slauson
avenue at present as far south as
Florence avenue and consisting of
water mains, starting from ten-inch
supplies to six-inch and four-inch
mains and two-inch laterals, now sup
plying the Greater Los Angeles tract,
Main Street Villa, Main Street tract
and addition No. / to Mccarthy COM
panys Greater Los Angeles tract. A
fine large storage tank of 10000 gallons
capacity and pumping plant have been
erected on Fifty-fourth street and
South Park avenue, the highest point
in this part of the city, giving consider
able force to the water supplied, and it
is the intention to also turn this plant
and enormous well with capacity Of
ITO inches or 10000 gallons per hour to
the new water company.
The fact that S. M. Haskins, one Of
the attorneys for the Huntington in
terests, is one Of the directors of the
new company gives rise to the report
that Mr.. Huntington is interested in the
venture with the Mccarthy company.

where a murder had been committed in the
