Miss Ida Due. q member of the original
cast Of "COriantOn." arrived in this city
yesterday afternoon, and within three
hours appeared on the stage in the part
OF Relia. The verdict of the audience
was that Miss Due made good. Since the
production of the play seven years ago
Miss Due has risen to the height OF lead
ing lady of her own company and only
came to this city because she believed
she would have better chance to dis
play her ability in "COrianton" than she
had in many other plays in which she
appeared. The performance last night
was a finished one. the little halts Of Sun
day night being entirely overcome last
night.
The great racing scene in the "Futur-
ity Winner at the Orpheum theatre this
week is rOusing the audiences to the
highest pitch Of enthusiasm. and is by far
the biggest act that has ever been staged
at that house.
The Willard Mack and Blanche Douglas
company were greeted last night by a
packed house. Held by the Enemy will
be continued for an extra performance on
Sunday night, August Is.
a splendid play. admirably presented,
is the verdict of these who have seen
AT Valley Forge" at the Bungalow
this week. The play, from its peculiarly
patriotic nature. is especially appropriate
for this week, and the presenting COM
pany is entirely worthy Of It.

WHEAT is WEAKER
ON GOOD WEATHER
Nervousness Is Shown In the
Trading In Wheat
CASH WHEAT Is LOWER
General Selling of Corn Occurs Early
But Good Demand Later Aids
Prices-oats and Provisions
Close Weak.

Chicago, July 17.-Ideal weather for
harvesting and increased receipts Of new
wheat here and in the southwest had q
here today, final figures showing losses of
Nc to INC compared with yesterdays
close. Corn closed steady but oats and
provisions were weak.
Extreme nervousness characterized trad
ing in the wheat pit but the prevailing
sentiment was one of weakness, The
July delivery in particular moved over a
wide range, the price during the day SELL
ing between $1.20 and s1.22. Trade in the
current month, however. was small. The
market closed weak with prices only a
little above the lowest point with July at
81 .2oh.
The chief factor in the situation was
the continued favorable weather condi-
lions which prevailed in the harvest belt,
generally clear weather reported from all
the points in the country. AS a result
of these conditions arrivals of new wheat
here and in the southwest showed ma
terial increase.
Owing to the increased arrivals cash
wheat at st. Louis was Off 1c. The close
was 40 to 1%o off.
General selling of corn caused consider
able weakness In the market for that
grain early in the session, but frmer
tone developed during the last half of the
day, owing to an improved demand for
the cash grain by shippers. The selling at
the start was due to weather conditions,
which were entirely favorably for the
new crop. The market closed steady with
prices 1sc lower to &c higher, compared
with the previous close.
Heavy realizing sales, prompted by i'm
pending arrivals of new oats here next
week. caused break of nearly &c in the
price of oats for July delivery. The mar
ket In general was weak all day owing
to the excellent weather for harvesting
and for the maturing of this late crop. At
the close prices were A@ssc to 1%o lower
than the final figures of the preceding
day, July closing at 451xc.
Provisions were weak the entire day.
owing to prof1t-taking by shorts Prices
at the close were &c to 25c lower than
yesterdays close.

WORK OF TEREDOES.
Rapidity With Which They Demolish
Wooden Piers and Caissons.
I'M the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call
That the teredoes in the vicinity of Fort
Mason are the hungriest and busiest and
equipped with the most effective augers
of any of their kind to be found in the
bay, has been demonstrated by the con-
tracing concern that is building the new
army transport wharves at Backpoint
The company has paid fancy price for
its knowledge, and incidentally and at its
own expense has demonstrated the wis
dom of the all-concrete construction ad-
vocated by the present board OF harpor
commissioners.
The new army wharves are to rest on
concrete piers and the plans call for the
construction of a concrete breakwater to
provide shelter for the troopships that
may be tied up at the wharves. In the
construction of this breakwater great
wooden caissons were built and sunk to
be pumped out later and filled with con-
crete.
A temporary wharf was built of green
piles and on this were erected the con-
crete mixing machinery and other gear
essential to carrying on the work. A few
weeks ago this wharf tumbled down and
an investigation showed that the teredoes
had eaten the green piles as easily IL
they had been young opinions. The wharf
Is now being rebuilt with creosoted piles.
In anticipation of the early restoration
of the temporary pier an examination was
made yesterday of the wooden caissons.
and to the contractors grief 1t was dis
covered that they had been practically
consumed by the teredoes. The chewed up
caissons will have to be replaced and then
1t will be a race between the concrete
mixers and the teredoes, with the betting
on the worm il in the meantime they
should eat through the creosoted piles
that support temporary wharf.-the. 2, and
cause another delay in filling the molds
with concrete.

COTTON ADVANCES

Texas weather again became more or
less of a bullish factor, although it was
predicted yesterday that the hot dry spell
in the southwest section of the belt would
soon be over.
Because rains which were predicted for
the regions which have been experiencing
a drouth failed to materialize bear pres
sure did not accomplish as much as it did
yesterday, and the absence on the weather
map of any Indication of rain over Sun
day also aided in reviving bullish activ-
ity. Consequently material gains were
noted during the first hour of trading, and
the announcement of a decidedly bullish
weekend figure served to send prices up
to higher levels. At the close, which was
steady, the market was IA to 10 points
above the close yesterday
In spite of the gains which the market
scored on a majority of days during the
week now ending yesterdays tumble COM
pletely wiped them out, and the various
options were 81 to 81 points lower today
than at the close last Saturday. Hot
dry weather In Texas was the principal
bullish factor during the week, but when
there yesterday appeared indications that
the Texas drouth was at an end the bears
quickly took advantage of the situation
and almost completely dominated the mar
ket for a time. In spite of considerable
bullish activity today, especially in the
local market, yesterdays losses were not
regained.
