All About a Yellow Dog.

One yellow dog developed lively, small
sized feud in Anacostia recently. The
climax was a hearing before Judge KIM

REPLIES TO CRITICISMS.
New York Cotton Exchange Official
Talks About Classification.

NEW YORK, June s.-Edward M. Weld,
vice president of the New York Cotton Ex-
change issued a statement today replying
to criticisms as to the classification of cot
ton by the exchange. He gave the names
Of the following cotton merchants who, he
said have given or will give affidavits that
cotton deliverable on the contracts of the
New York exchange is not over-classed:
George H. McFadden & Bros. Of Philadel-
phia, Hooper, Bazett & Co. Of Liverpool.
Weld & Neville Of Houston, Tex, and Of
New York; Inman & Co. of Atlanta, c. E.
Rich &, Co. of New York and Rodgers, Nc
Cabe & Co of Norfolk.
Mr. Weld said also that buyer who de-
mands delivery Is likely to get twenty-five
to thirty different grades because so many
grades are dealt in and the holder contracts
to receive any or all of them. After March
1, 1908 however, only fifteen grades will be
deliverable. He denied that the counsel
for the exchange has admitted that the eX-
change handles only riff-raff cotton and as
serted that its rules exclude sandy, dusty,
gin-cut and rebaled cotton.
He said the exchanges quotations on the
day of delivery are one to two cents below
the price of cotton in the spot market be-
cause the quotation is based on the price Of
mddling cotton, which this year has ruled
at a premium over the current position.
The revision committee of the exchange, he
said. made an error when they did not es-
tablish sufficiently wide differences at which
the grades below middling might be de-
livered.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. June s.-The Kansas crop re-
port. which eXerted a strong influence OF
yesterdays market, brought about a COM
plete change Of sentiment in the wheat pit
today At the close OF the market July
wheat was up sal. September wheat was
up Is. Corn was a higher. Oats were up
is. Provisions were unchanged to ) higher.
The wheat market today opened easier
because of good weather conditions in
the west. Later. however. a complete re-
versal Of sentiment was caused by the
Kansas state crop report. 1t was rumored
yesterday that the report would show
percentage of 80 June l. 1t showed per-
centaGe of IS which was less than SIX
points higher than yesterdays prediction.
This difference was not sufficient to strong
" affect the market. but the report de-
Clared that II per cent OF wheat area had
been plOwcd up This would Indicate a
crop OF about ~. UnuOu0 bushels on the
popular method of figuring. Dispatches
were also received from Kansas declaring
that wheat is being cut for hay. and that
further blowing up is still in progress.
These things, coupled with the crop re-
port. brought about an urgent buying de-
mand. and from 9aA, July wheat advanced
steadily until il touched 9Il4 Proft-taking
sales caused a slight reaction from the
high point but the market closed strong.
Consc rvatiVe spectators bought steadily
all DAY. and there was good demand
from pit traders and commission houses.
July opened SAL TO &sai2 lower, at 95i2 to
9594, sold between @5%4 a9Tl4, and closed at
0G3s. September opened a to p lower, at
0I2t to ~: sold between 9I&.a905s, and
closed at g92s
Clcarauces OF wheat and flour were equal
TO 1876 600 bushels. Primary receipts were
424 600 bushels, against 325. 900 bushels for
the same time last year Minneapolis
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts OF
go cars, against 4S9 cars last week and
oil cars year ago.
The corn market opened firm and with
fair demand. The crop reports were gem
orally unsatisfactory, it being declared that
the weather in the corn belt was too cloudy
too wet and cold. From some points IN
Iowa and Illinois reports came that the
crop may be seriously retarded unless
warm weather arrives. July opened I'M
changed to y higher at 5334 to $685. sold
between 53S4a54is, and closed at 81. Local
receipts were S33 cars, with 4S9 of contract
grade

The crops of other countries bring the
total up to the enormous figures of 3,423,-
7O4, 900 bushels, SO that the production OF
the United States is nearly 20 per cent OF
the worlds output.
A graphic comparison of this crop with
the finished product typihed by bread and
the intermediate stage-four-is very in
teresting.
If the 49,, 261 $40 bushels of wheat were
placed in bushel basket OF standard
shape, the basket would measure 1872 feet
in diameter at the bottom and 1,22o feet at
the top, and would be $50 feet high. 1t
would have to be strong enough to sustain
the weight of 1879 433 tons. The Eifrei
tower is a good object for comparison.
Visitors in the crown of the tower would
be able to just look over the sea Of wheat
After the miller has taken the basket of
wheat and milled the grain, he finds he
has some 49, 1864 barrels Of flour, which
If put in one huge barrel would be 1.214h
feet high, and the largest diameter would
be 0621k feet.
The baker now steps in, and out Of this
flour bakes a. S34, 500 200 loaves Of bread OF
standard size; and if this bread were all
put into one Loaf 1t would measure 1,OO2
feet on the bottom, 1887 feet at the top; 1t
would also be 616h feet thick and some 2,l5e
feet long, If this loaf Of bread were set
on end, the finished product would far
overshadow the basket and the interme-
date stage-the flour barrel.
The wheat would fill trench 141 miles
long-the distance from New York to AL
bany-and thirty-five feet In cross section.
In view of these facts, is it any wonder
that our transportation facilities are
strained to the breaking point in carrying
this enormously valuable crop?
The wheat crop of the entire world Is
far below the average this year, and 1t is a
much-mooted question whether we shall
have any wheat to spare to make up the
deficit abroad and for this reason the price
of wheat on our produce exchanges has
gone upward of 81 bushel 1t seems prob
able that the United States will be the
arbiter of prices in the worlds wheat mar
ket for some months to come.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, June S.-The Financier says:
The most notable feature of last weeks
official statement of the New York asso-
ciated banks was the reduction of the sur
plus reserve by about one-half. Such re-
duction was not at all surprising, consid-
-ering the fact that the Withdrawals of gold
for shipment to Paris were more than
81 90 for the week indeed, 1t would have
been remarkable If the exhibit had failed to
record this average loss through exports.
The cash decrease was further affected by
unusually large customs payments through
the banks. These movements of gold to
Paris and of customs receipts by the treas
ury quite fully accounted for the loss to the
banks of s9O65, 200 cash. for the inter-

the further advanced price of cotton bust
ness in the cloth market during the week
was more restricted than ever. The over

quotations which manufacturers asked and
consequently only a few miscellaneous lots
which were urgently required changed
hands, buyers awaiting more definite news
regarding the crop before placing con-
tracts
Yarns were equally slow of sale, the rise
in cotton checking business. Producers
asked three-sxteenths advance. which was
grudgingly paid in isolated cases.

Some Power of Resistance.

The stock market has been more re-

higher. NeCessitous liquidation seems to
have been completed Tor the present and
the market has been free from pressure
on that account.
This has left the way open for effect of
