WHEAT CONTINUES
 ID MAKE ADVANCE Bulls Force Prices Higher on Bad Weather Reports CLOSE IS BELOW THE TOP Active Buying in Corn Market Brings About Good Advance in Prices.
 Oats Close Firm and
 Provisions Easy.
CLOSE IS BELOW THE TOP

Chicago, July 10-Further delay in har- vesting, due to additional rains in the winter wheat belt west of the Mississippi river, caused a fresh advance in wheat prices on the board of trade today, final quotations showing gains of Hc to 1A@ lbc compared with the previous close. visions were easy.
 With these unfavorable conditions for harvesting prevailing over such wide territory, bulls in the wheat pit took ad- vantage of the situation to force prices higher and shorts covered freely, thus ausmenting bullish sentiment. The July delivery manifested the greatest strength and at one time the price of that op- ton was up 2asc compared with the pre- vious close. The first car of new No. red wheat reached Chicago today. It came from southeastern Illinois and sold at N.24 per bushel.
 Late in the day there was considerable selling of July and buying of September by leading holders of the former option. As a result prices reacted considerably from the top. During the day July sold between $1.1S and s1.195A.
 The close was strong, with July at $1. 1873.
 The feature of trading in the corn pit was active buying of the September de- livery by leading buhs. resulting from the price of that option advancing 1ssc from yesterdays final figures. July de- livery was comparatively quiet today. owing to light offerings. The cash grain was again in strong demand with prices up l cent and sales today aggregated nearly 206, 900 bushels. Offerings from the country were a trifle more free. The market closed strong, with prices @@Ac to Hg1c above yesterdays final figures.
 Oats were firm, in sympathy with wheat and corn. The price of cash oats ad- vanced 1c on light receipts. The market closed firm with prices unchanged to hQAc higher.
 Trade in provisions was extremely light and sentiment in the pit was bearish, owing to poor cash demand and a de- cline of cents in the price of live hogs. Prices at the close were 5 cents higher to 7h cents lower than yesterdays final quotations.

Making "SadInes."
From the Washington Post.

T iOih ebO W a1hihS tOh oot
 The Kennebec Journal relates that a tank car from the south, contining 1s3 barrels of cottonseed oil, recently ar rived at the warehouses of a canning company in Maine "in good condition" and will be used to preserve the sardine catch of that coast, which some of us will eat in the blissful delusion that the fish came from Brittany and were pre- served in the very choicest olive oil Latin Europe affords.
 But what of 1t? The imagination is the choice faculty of the human mind and delusion is the best friend of them all. Horace Greeley at a banquet was eating with evident relish of a dish and consuming it's contents with ravenous appetite. His brother-in-law said to him, Printer, do you know what you are eat ing?" He answered, No, but it's some thing-good" "It is branded peaches" warned his friend and kinsmen, land if you eat much more of 1t you'll be as drunk as a lord" The philosopher of the Tribune showed the dish away with look of disgust and a speech of expletive.
 And 80 1t is with most things in life. Delusion makes the world tolerable To the man who eats the herring from Maine preserved in cotton seed oil In the confidence that they are the sardipes from France preserved in olive oil. the fraud is of the slightest consequence, or rather, of no consequence at all, for we doubt not that the Maine product is as wholesome as that which comes from Brittany. and If sauced with hunger and bottle of good beer 1t is dish for magnate of business.
 There Is a pleasure in eating as well as a necessity, and the laborer heaving coal no doubt gets more genuine satis- faction out of dish of bacon and cab bage than your millionaire epicure can find in a ten-course feast at sherry's.
 And there comes in the law of compen- sation that Is self-executing and impos- sible of evasion

 More or less sensational reports to the effect that there was a marked deteriora- tion in the Texas crop as a result of the intensely hot weather in the state were freely circulated, and these served to bring about another big advance.
 Liverpool was due about unchanged but closed at an advance of about points, new high levels being reported. Other cablegrams stated bad crop news was being received from all sections in Liver pool and that shorts were covering.
 All of these advices had a marked ef- feet on the local future market. As a result much business was put through and although there were heavy realizing sales the market also bid all offerings In Sucn an easy manner OCtopof Coh- tracts worked up as high as R.4Sc. and March sold as high as 1264c.

Cost of the Fourth of July.

FTOM tn6 FHiIHueipHIH Try
 Five million dollars in smoke, flame, and noise will be the cost to the country of celebrating, on July 5, the 133d anni- versary of It's independence. The holiday will be observed on that date this year on account of the Fourth falling on Sun 1ay. Every man, woman and child in the United States will spend an average of six cents for fireworks. This is on the supposition that the business this year will be equal to that of normal times, and it's latest promise, after an carly season of dullness, is that it will be almost a record breaker. Philadel- phia will spend about Q0000o.
