NEW YORK, July 5,-The recovery
IN prices Of stocks which set In on Tues

zing. The renewed weakness at the

lively light, was effected on rising

Rf the morning during the pauses In the
ldvancc or on positive reactions. This
Nus a reversal OF the recent form OF
|he market and gave great encourage
hent until the late reaction ana cor
depression then. The larg-

Eibuted TO the uncovered support and
n the rise In prices itself drove thlS

Use had It's impulse from abroad, where

WHEAT IS WEAKER
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Clear Weather and Profit LAX
ing Are Causes of Decline
in Prices.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Clear weather
throughout the Northwest and South
west induced liberal profit-talSing to-
day In the local wheat market and re-
suited in a considerable decline In
prices. At the close wheat for Sep
tember delivery was off Ssc. Corn was
up b@Ac. oats were down Sc, Pro-
visions were unchanged to 21a@5c
higher,
The wheat market was weak almost
all day. There was free selling by cash
houses and local longs and support
came principally from shorts. The
chief factor responsible for the selling
pressure was the generally favorable
weather conditions In the United
States, the weather bureau reporting
clear weather both In the winter and
spring wheat sections, the exception be-
ing In Iowa and Nebraska, where some
rains had fallen. The sales by cash
houses were prompted mainly by lib
eral acccptances from the country.
Late In the day the market expert
enced a fair rally, which was due to
reports OF rust in the wheat fields of
North Dakota and Canada.
The close, however, was easy, Sep
tember opened asc to 1G@%c lower at
1875 @79&c, sold up to 1875 @S0c and then
declined to 7ehc. The close was at
1880.

The Crater Turned v

UEoAS0E AuE1IUO lie
The pencil pusher Of the Versaiiies
Statesman two week ago had the
temerity to boast that no man could
ever say of him "that he Vas not mach
Of q Republican"
This was said in connection with q
dirty dccoction Of obscene substance
without point or common decency
which lie dished up at the time to his
readers. 1t did not occur to him that
we we're at that time able to show to the
public that his Republicanism was far
below far, and that he was playing the
most bare.faced piece of grating ever
perpetrated upon a political organization
in this or any other county, and if
the CRATER had any previous influence
with the leaders of his party il has van.
ished like a ghost. and cupid is now
weeping at the donkey's stupidity.
At the recent Republican convention
in this city, Baker, with an adamant
cheek and the bruzen affrontery of a
city ward CRATER, demanded of the
Republican county central committee
that they give him $1CO to repay
him for supporting the county ticket.
The demand was so brazen and un.
looked for, coming from the source it
did, that they were paralyzed for a
time. But some of the delegates present
at once stamped the demand as a
political "hold up" beneath the dignity
of any man of honor, much less from the
editor of what was known as their
county organ. Baker argued his point
AMI did not yield a dot from his grating
position, and the matter was left unset
tied until the meeting of the Republican
central committee in this city last
Saturday, when the matter was again
sprung.
sufficient time to study over the 500
''hold up" and when time for action on
their part was ripe Baker was turned
down good and hard, the committee as a
whole ignoring him and his little
grating scheme. The Statesman had
been given big chunks of pie from time
time during the past without a whit of
complaint. He has fed off the party
and the county court to the detriment of
every other public service requiring
finances, but when he brazenly and
daringly demanded $lOn to support the
county ticket, they suddenly caught on
and the ''hold up was pounced upon
and went down with a dull thud.
Is there any further argument needed
to show that the Statesman scribbler is
mot much of a Republican, anyway"
He may fill his columns with invectives
calling us what lie pleases and accusing
us OF any old thing-except that we have
never, never attempted to hold up"
the county committee of our party for
500 or any other sum, as a coaxer to buy
our support for the regular county ticket.
The influence of such characters is not
worth 30 cents to any party.
