HAMMOND
ATHLETICS,
FIRST BLOOD

Hammond yesterday got a taste of a
real ball game. and it tasted good. It
was sweetened by victory which was
deserved.
The Hammond Athletic association
played their initial game yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t was the opening of the
grounds, and the strong Valparaiso
Tigers came over to help celebrate the
event. Hammond won the nine inning
contest by a score of 8 to 1. Only two
errors could be laid to the door of the
Hammond players. while the visitors
doubled that number.
Meade and Stewart formed the Ham
mond battery and a good team they
were, but the game was feIder's game

WHEAT GOES UP ON
 WEATHER REPORT
Delay In Harvesting Operations
 Adds to Strength
SHIPMENTS ARE SMALLER
Wet Weather and Advance in Wheat Makes Corn Market Strong and
 Prices Advance-oats Are
 Hieher-Provisions Weak.

Chicago, June 21.-The declining ten dency of wheat was effectively checked and prices scored gains of more than 1c owing to unfavorable weather for har- vesting in the southwest and to a green bug scare in the oats market. At the close prices showed net gains of 1Bc to 1k@1%o. Corn and oats also made sub stantial gains, but provisions were weak.
 Possible delay to harvest operations ow- ing to wet weather was the chief factor in creating a strong market in the wheat pit. The weather bureau announced that scattered showers had occurred during the last AS hours in the middle, western and southern states, and predicted additional rain for large part of the winter wheat belt in the next "A hours. The market had become oversold to a large extent during the bear raid of last week, and bulls eagerly took advantage of the un- favorable weather conditions in the "har- vest belt to help force prices higher. They were aided in their efforts by a sharp bulge in oats and by an advance of 1s@ssd at Liverpool, notwithstanding the slump here Saturday.
 Weekly statistics were also somewhat bullish Worlds shipments for the week were less than generally expected, the amount on passage decreased 1,36S 000 bushels and the visible supply in the Uni ted States decreased 2,510,000 bushels The principal demand was for the September and December deliveries, although July was bought freely by shorts. During the day the latter month sold between S1. 1.13h and $1155s. The market closed strong at almost the top with July at $1.14AQ1. .14ss.
 Wet weather, light local receipts and the bulge in wheat caused a strong market for corn during the entire day. The July delivery, which was in active demand by shorts, displayed the greatest strength anh advanced almost 1c from the low point of the day. An early bulge of 1At0 %c in the price of the cash grain prompted considerable buying of the July option. The market closed strong with prices up &QBc, compared with Saturdays final figures.
 The first genuine "green bug" scare of the season brought out liberal purchases of oats and resulted in final gains of 7sc to 11sQ14c in the price of future deliveries of that grain. Reports from southern H. linois claimed that the much-dreaded green bug had made it's appearance in the oats field in several sections, and that the fields were turning yellow. These advices caused active covering by shorts. The September delivery manifested some weakness early in the day owing to sell ing by cash interests.
 Provisions were weak all day, due to selling based on an expected increa SC in the receipts of hogs at western packing centers. Prices at the close were 719c to 10Q121sc higher than the previous close.

COTTON ADVANCES ON RAINY WEATHER Market Is Moderately Active
 and Prices Firm OFFERINGS ARE LARGE After the Opening Prices Decline on Lack of Bull Support, but Rap
 idly Advance as Weather
 News Comes in.
OFFERINGS ARE LARGE

New York, June 21.-The cotton market was only moderately active today, but prices ruled generally frmer on the wet weather reported in the eastern and cen- tral belts over Sunday and the close was steady at net advance of to P points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points with the active positions selling to 13 points higher during the first few minutes on covering by local professionals who had taken the short side for a turn toward the end of last week and some fresh buying encour- aged by tile steady cables and the wet weather reports. As soon as the demand from shorts had been supplied, however, it wss seen that bull support was not aggressive and that commission houses were selling out long contracts above 10.95c for the new crop months. These offerings checked the upward movement in spite of many private reports of un- favorable crop conditions, particularly from the Mississippi valley and during the middle session the market sold off or points from the top under realizing. Offerings were withdrawn at the decline, NHie puii Suppofl WAS IeneWen ana uur- ing the late trading the market rallied to about the best prices of the day with the close only a point or so off from the top.
 Some few reports are coming from east ern and central sections indicating that unfavorable crop accounts are much ex- aggerated but an impression has cer- tanly been created In local circles that excessive moisture has prevented neces- sary farm work and that the outlook is not promising. Meanwhile domestic trade accounts continue to improve and private cables received today said that there was a better feeling in Liverpool as a result of diminishing stocks at Manchester.
 Southern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to Bc higher. Receipts at the ports today S639 bales, against 912S last week, and S431 last year For the week S5,OOO bales, against SS,54O last week, and 43, 423 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 21f bales, against S36S last year.

STOCKS TUMBLE
 ON HEAVY SELLING News Is Generally Bearish But
 Market Is Not Active BULLS EFFORTS FEEBLE Failure to List Steel Stocks in Paris Has Continued Bad Effect and Copper Stocks Also Develop
 Acute Weakness.
BULLS EFFORTS FEEBLE

New York, June 2.-It took several hours of waiting tactics on the part of the professional operators amongst the operations in stocks to demonstrate today their satisfaction that the sharp fall in prices last week had not attracted de- mand sufficient to form a basis for a renewed upturn in prices. The smash which followed was more severe than on last Thursday. Selling was almost as constrained during the early part of the day as was buying, with the result of dullness and llstlessness such as have not been seen for weeks in the trading. Attempts were perceptible in one or two quarters to inaugurate a rise In prices but the handful of stocks selected were almost alone in the movement, which was feeble-and ineffective
 Heavy individual selling orders then ap- peared first In one stock and then In another. The source of this liquidation was such as to suggest the closing out Of some accounts that have figured con- spicuously in the prolonged campaign for the rise and this suggestion made a strong sentimental effect on the tone of specula- ton and encouraged the professional bear element to renew their aggressive operations by short selling and offering down of prices.
 The bears still found effective material for influencing sentiment in the fears of bad effects to follow the failure to secure admission for the United States Steel stocks to the Paris bourse. The direct
 
 received by the private bankers regard ing the standing of the plan and the as- sertions of the banking interests con cerned did not prevent the report of the failures of the project from hurting values. Selling of United States Steel also carried the impression of liquidation of some important individual accounts.
 The same appearance in the Wabash securities served to throw suspicion on the active advance which has been eff fected in those stocks on vague intima- tions of important developments said to be impending, but which have entirely failed of authentic confirmation. The mystery surrounding the Wabash move- ment has been a source of growing ap- prehension among speculative followers oI the movement lor udyS past anu WHeH enormous blocks were sold today by houses which were most active in ac- cumulating the stock while the advance was in progress, it was argued that an unfortunate turn must have occurred in the progress of the movement.
 Amalgamated Copper was also acutely weak and the over-speculation abroad in coppers left the reactonary tendency there still in force. The progress of the decline brought out added efforts on the part of bears, shown by their raiding tac- tics and by the circulation of unfounded rumors One of these was to the effect that E. H. Hartman had suffered a sud- den and fatal seizure in Vienna This rumor was put out late in the session of the stock market and was not traceable

to any authoritative source, but 1t proved extremely effective, notwithstanding the prompt discredit thrown upon it by Union Pacific officials, who would expect to have immediate advice of any happening to the head of the system, owing to the frequency of cable communications from the traveller with his business associates.
 The sharp rallies which followed the successive drops were evident on the part played by short selling in the weak ness. This rule did not apply, however, to the final break, in which the Harri- man stocks played the principal part, the selling movement being still in active progress when the trading ended. Care ful observers of the market were much inclined to lay stress on the influence of last weeks break in prices in prompting demands for a broadening of margins and even, probably, an absolute reduc ton of loans outstanding on stockhold- ings. Foreign exchange rose strongly to within few points of the highest point of the season and experts computed a good profit on exports of gold coin at London at the prevailing level. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $4354,O GOO.

Killed His Bpother.in-Law.

Roanoke, Va, June 21.-A special from Martinsville, Va., today says E. M. Keen, a young white man, was lodged in the Henry county jail there today, charged with the murder of Bruce Davis, a prom inent farmer and politician who lived near Stockton. Davis married Keene's sister, and on Sunday Davis had difficulty with his wife. Keen, in defense of his sister, 1t is said, stabbed Davis four times, from which injuries he died.
