WHEAT AT $1.27 A BUSHEL.
Sensational Advance in July Deliv
cry at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 14.-Wheat for July de-
livery sold on the board OF trade today
at $l.27 per bushel a gain of seven cents
over the final figures CT the previous
session. The sensational advance was due
to a stampede among shorts who were
alarmed at the continued delay to har-
yesting owing to wet weather in the west
and southwest
The bulge today was due to the ex-
tremely urgent desire OF many traders
TO cover short sales in view of the poor
prospect Of any considerable movement
of new wheat to market this mon n,
owing to rains in the west and south :
west. The market for the July opti On
has been in a congested condition ever
since the closing of the celebrated
deal in the May delivery, and when
traders sought to buy the July wheat
today there was almost none to be had.
The price at the opening was up q
n IL cents. compared with yesterday 8
close. initial quotations ranging from
eo1s to 1a1h. The price continued to
advance by leaps of Il to / cent at a
iump. When the price touched LIS a
bir shout arose. There she goes,
shouted one trader.
THAT will win many bet" yelled
another. as he hurriedly left the pit.
The climax seemed to have been
reached at 1854. and the price sagged
somewhat on realizing sales.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Washington Gas and the common stock
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company were most in demand at the
noon meeting today of the Washington
Stock Exchange. A half-point gain in
the price of the latter was registered
under steady bidding, the opening sale
being at 42la and the closing at 49, A
spectacular bid was made for any part OF
1000 shares at 431a. and another for
5000 shares at a., but no more of the
stock was forthcoming.
A total of 275 shares of Washington
Gas changed hands at 7i1a. and. although
more blocks Of stock were offered at a1ss
and 771a. there was little disposition to
go after them.
The Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany issued notices today of its next
dividend of la per cent. payable August
?. The stock transfer books will be
closed July %.
The statement has frequently been made
that the local fire insurance companies
are not moneymakers, and to this opin-
ion. and to the fact that several local
companies have been liquidated, may be
attributed the light demand for their Sc
curities in the local stock market. One
exception to this rule exists, however, in
the Germany-American company, which

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. July 14.-Wheat for July
delivery advanced today to 1.2J. which is
Az cents above the previous high mark
for the season. The bulge occurred dur
ing the first half hour of the day and
was marked by intense excitement in the
pit. The advance was started by mod
crate buying of small lots by promi-
nent commission house. which was one
OF the leaders in the bull campaign in
the May delivery. This stampeded a
lot of small shorts" who covered on
stop-loss orders. The demand was based
largely on the recent unfavorable wealth
er in this country for harvesting. The
market opened strong with prices 4 to
IL cents higher. July being at 1.207s to
1.211a.
Demand for the July option was so
keen that the price advanced by bounds

this figure there was sufficient realizing
to cause a reaction of about l cent
Other deliveries made fair response to
the bulge in July.
Despite the sensational bulge in July
wheat the corn market was weak early

Monument to Dunbar the
Negro Poet

1t counts for more than we are
apt to think that here and there,
among the Negro race, the high
err order of literary and admins
trative genius can make itself
known. On the 26th of this
month, a monument is to be I'M
yelled in Dayton, Ohio, to the
memory of the dead Negro poet,
Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who may
BIS appropriately called the Black
Burns of lyric song.
Like Burns he lifted his native
patois into the position of a rude
but extremely musical classic,
and like Burns has given to the
world some songs of pathoS and
melancholy humor that shall
never die.
Somewhere we have seen the
speculation that the Negro brain
when given a chance can span
the distance between savaregy
and the highest limits of white
intellectually in a remarkably
brief time, and that there is
promise in it of the development
of genius, especially in the line
of lyrical and musical suscepti-
bility in advance of anything we
have as yet known.
The Death Song of Dunbar has
all the music and pathos even
surprising that of Tennyson's
Crossing the Bar. 1t is well for
his friends to entertain the sug-
gestion of inscribing a stanza of
this poem over the dead poets
tomb.
All in all the Negro mind has
no reason to despair of reaping
finally it's due award of merit,
where in any line of honorable
effort it will make it's merit
known. There are not wanting
numerous examples of this al

Back to Nature

The Negro does not take nat
urally to mechanism, the allied
arts and sciences, however much
his teachers and advisers may
wish to see him develop along
those lines. He is more natur-
ally an agriculturist. AS a ma
tive child of nature, he scarcely
knew of any other peaceful occu-
pations than those of crop raisers
and herders. These were merely
the necessary means of tribal
maintenance, but it may be judg
ed they were developed in a
crude way, to point Of reason
able reliance. Nothing more
was required of tribal barbarians.
The principal uses of the institu-
ton of slavery tended to develop
their capabilities along natural
lines, while the elementary
knowledgd that they gained of
of the mechanical trade accessor-
les was merely incidental. I'm
der meagre instructions the Ne
gro slave easily became trained
agriculturalist, and perhaps there
is no other class of people in the

country today which has bet
ter natural idea of the uses of
the soil and the diversification of
crops. He is not up in the mod
ern scientific development of ag
ricultural ideas because of late
years, his conditions have not
kept him in touch with timely
Improvements, but he has all the
fundamental knowledge required
to make him a successful farmer
when he shall have acquired the
necessary modern ideas of the
concentration of effort and the
steady improvement of his nat
ural resources. The tilling of
the soil is the first and funda-
mental occupation of all civilized
races, and out of it's develop
