GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July 5.-The break in wheat
occurred during the final half hour of
trading and was partly due to selling
caused by a report of a st. Louis trade
journal giving a bearish sentiment on
the amount of wheat that will be har-
vested in seven of the winter wheat states
Prior to the appearance of this report
sentiment in the pit had been bullish and
prices had ranged considerably above the
close of Wednesday. Higher prices at
Liverpool, small shipments from Argen-
tine and continued wet weather in France
and England were the main reasons for
the strength which prevailed during the
greater part of the session. Weather
conditions in this country were generally
favorable to the crop. The market closed
weak at bottom prices. September open

advanced to 1909, and then declined to

Trading in corn was active and the
market was strong all day because of
strong cables, small primary receipts, the
advance in wheat and unfaVOrable news
regarding the progress of the crop.
The close was strong. September open
ed Il TO y higher at 547sGI55, advanced to
555s and then declined to 545sd5424. The
close was at 547s.
Oats were active and strong. Septem-

to 1885 and then declined to 3S5s The
close was at S35su3Sa4
Provisions were weak because of in
creased receipts of live hogs at western
packing centeTs. At the close September
pork was off 17I5 cents. lard was off J
cents, ribs were 10 cents lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Dun's Review.

Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Despite the interruption of a holiday
and the usual inventories and midsummer
stOppageS of machinery for repairs,
vast amount of business was transacted
during the past week and the outlook i'm
proved still further. Sales of fireworks
were estimated at 20 per cent larger than
last year.
Raw wool is firmer in tone, and it is
expected that the London auction sales
next week will open at an advance over
the previous sales. The new domestic clip
comes forward on consignment, producers
insisting on fall prices.
Hides have not developed the activity
for June saltings that packers antici-
pated tanners having apparently supplied
their needs for the present and the tone
Of the whole market is depressed by eff
forts to dispose of lOng-haired hides.

FROM ABROAD.
MONEY ON CALL EASIER

New York, July 5.-The display of
strength in stocks today was in rather
a narrow market, and the dullness at
times approached stagnatiQn. The adver-
tised claims of leadership for the move
ment were given allowance, though the
professional mind was confused with con-
lectures of the possible auspices lying
back of this loudly claimed leadership.
Dealings were largely cOngested in few
of the usual faYorite stocks, and We're
called professional by the prOfessed Opin
ion about the stock exchange itself. There
was little news bearing on the movement,
beyond the estimates Of a large gain in
cash for the week by the banks. Money
on call was sensibly easier today. The
speculation was inclined evidently to as
sumo d prospect of more abundant funds
in the money market. A recovery in for
eign exchange rates today served to call
attention to the possibility of renewed
demand from abroad for our gold sup
plies London sent some gold to Paris
today, but International exchange bankers
IN New York were not surprised to see
more go from here to Paris next week
There were transfers today through the
SuD-treaSury OF S6UO,VJO to San Francisco.
Ihe admission TO trade at the stock eX-
change of warrants for the new Atchi-
son convertible bonds calls attention to
the fact that S7.S00,00O is payable as a
first installment of subscriptions to these
bonds by July TO- in addition to coming
subscriptions for instaIlments of Great

the Improvement of the week in the bank
ing position were not taken much account
of in the active circles of the stock move
ment1 though opinions based on them
were heard in banking quarters of skep-
ticism over the capacity of the money

ulative movement in stocks. Gains were
reduced to some extent by the days pro-
fit-taking, but not obliterated.

the wit to know that Cyras was at the
bottom Of the mischief. And then they
went back to Pump Court, when Charles
had ordered a substantial supper for
Cyras' benefit.
Then Cyras grew confidential. He spoke
of certain fair daughter Of Mr.. Jansen,
the second partner of the New Zealand
house. She and Cyras were privately
engaged and he declared that If he could
only win her he should throw carelessness
to the winds and become as steady as Old
Time.
Her mother, a we'll born English worr-
an, favors it," observed Cyras. "S'he
thinks there must be any amount of lat
ent good in deans son. Mr.. Jansen OPP
poses it; not that he objects to me per-
sonally, but on the score of my want OF
prospects. He told me point-blank that
he would give her to me were l able to
become a partner in the firm"
1.-THE difficulty is money, I suppose,
Cyras?"
"Just so. Four thousand pounds. They
would give me a small share in it for
that sum-"
And you have not got it?"
II have never saved anything"
"And what of the young lady herself?"
II only wish it rested with her!' an
swered Cyras. "She would soon be mine.
All, Charley, if I could only encompass
that partnership, it would steady me for
life. If / have to part from her-well,
l don't think l should care what went
with me, or what the end was-perhaps
ruin"
Charles was silent. He remembered
how passionately he and Cyras had loved
each other as boys, although Cyras did
put upon him and tyrannize over him !;
and he asked himself whether he should
give up his own marriage for time, and
save his brother. He had about two thou
sand pounds put by; part of it he had
saved by degrees, part had come to him
by a recent legacy. If he gave that to
Cyras, his own marriage must be delayed,
but he knew Mary would wait for him.
1t would be a grievous disappointment to
both of them, but should disappointment
be placed in comparison with his friend
less brothers welfare-his welfare in this
world, and, it might be, in that to come!
The other two thousand would no doubt
be managed among them-possibly by
Lord Avon.
"You have not told me her name,
Cyras."
Anna. Anna Jansen. To me the pref
test name in the world. All, Charley,
if you only knew her!"

The plaintiff claimed that he had

MAN WHO RULES ENGLAND.

Net King Edward, but the Leader
Of the Political Majority.
The real ruler Of the British empire
Is not the titular sovereign nor the
hereditary nobility; it is the leader of
the political majority, who derives his
power solely from the direct vote of
the people. The prime minister Of
England is subordinate neither to the
king nor the house Of peers. Every
man who shares with him In the work
of the government is his subordinate.
Following a general election the SOW
ereign sends for member Of the ma
Jority party aud instructs him to form
government. This IS one of those
fictlons Of the constitutional authority
Of the sovereign to which the English
people cling as to the heritage Of ira
dition. The summons Is delivered, but
it is merely a form. The party leader
is such not by the grace of the sover-
elgn but by the choice of the majority;
not by election but because he has the
qualities of leadership.
The leader, having received the SOW
ereign's instructions to form a govern
ment, becomes by that mandate the au-
tocrat of the empire. His power Is alb
solute. Like the President, he may ap-
point whomseever he pleases a member
OF his cabinet, but, unlike the Presi-
dent, he is not Influenced by geograph-
! ical considerations, nor does he have to
submit his nominations to the senate.
In both countries the members Of the
cabinet hold Office at the will of the ap-
pointing power, but the tenure Of Office
Is even more precarious in England
than 1t Is In the United States. Here
minister may differ from the Presi-
dent on a matter Of policy and not feel
1t incumbent upon him to resign; in
England there can be no differences.
Either a minister agrees with his chief
or lie resigns.
In England the cabinet Is an extra
legal creation. Nominally 1t Is one Of
the committees Of the privy council,
whose functions are to advise the SOW
ereign, but this Is simply survival
Of mediaevalism. The cabinet is un-
der the sole control Of the premier, un-
hampered by royal or other Interior
ence, but-another survival-no men,
Der Of the cabinet may make public
any matter discussed by the cabinet
without the express sanction of the SOW
ereign. and when the premier issues
a summons to cabinet council, which
meets at irregular intervals according
to the exigency Of public business, the
minister Is requested to attend meet.

Out Upon improvements.
More than $50,0OO,OOO is now being
spent upon buildings and bridges of a
public character in and around Wash
ington, and when work already I'M
dertaken has been completed Wash
ington will be without peer as city
Of architectural beauty. In addition
to the projects amounting to more
than $50 100000 now decided upon and
under way, improvements costing an
additional S2O,00O,OOO are projected.
When the Senate and House office
buildings are completed the plaza east
Of the capitol will be almost surround
ed on its four sides by one of the most
magnificent groups of public struc-
lures In the world, built of granite and
marble. The north and south sides of
the plaza will be bounded respectively
by the Senate and House office build
ings, which together are to cost ST.
100000. The west will be bounded by
the imposing structure Of the capitol,
the eastern front Of which Is to be ex-
tended In marble at a cost Of $780,
O00 The eastern side will be partially
bounded by the library of Congress
building, which has cost the govern
ment S6,92O,0OO. The other blocks of
ground east Of the capitol plaza and
Just north Of the Library Of Congress
will ultimately be occupied by splen-
did structure for the Supreme Court
Of the United States. The capitol and
its proposed extension, the Senate and
House office buildings and the Library
of Congress will represent an expendi-
ture by the government of $780, $40,
and this will make these structures the
most costly marble frame in the world
for so small rectangle Of foliage and
grass.
Not far from this splendid series Of
buildings will be the new union rail-
road depot. which will front the plaza
from Delaware avenue on the north,
at a cost Of s120OOOOO, with It's ap-
proaches. making the five structures In
this vicinity cost upward Of S45 00O,-
900. The improvements under way
| have involved the throwing Of two
model steel bridges across the Poto-
mac river. another across the eastern
branch, the boring Of large railroad
tunnel under CAPITOL Hill to give trains
a direct approach to the new station
from the trunk lines Of the south. the
bridging Of Rock creek with the larg-

connect new Senate and House office
buildings, the erection of war col
lege for the army. extensive improve

the last few years, some of which are
already completed, others well in hand
and a few of them just about to be

In addition to these undertakings
there are other projects proposed, some
of which will undoubtedly be carried
