Hot and Dry Weather Through
out the Wheat Belt
Imparts a Bullish Tone to the
Wheat.
AN ADVANCE IN CORN
Owing to Small Receipts and the
Lack of Moisture.
Dealers Become Suspicious and
the Rise Is Lost.

Chicago, June 5.-WHEAT-UnSeason
ably hot and dry conditions over almost
the entire winter wheat belt gave prices
today an upward swing on change. Off
c1al forecast Of warm weather week.
added impetus to the feeling. Besides
there was at hand a semiofficial report
of unsatisfactory crop outlook through
out the southern portion of Russia. Cash
demand here was reported to be strong.
Opening figures were &c to 1c up. Com
mission buying was on such big scale
that individual houses were lost sight of.
On the bulge, heavy selling took place
ed at 9912c to 9324c, a gain of &c to sc and
reacted to 931zc.
After a fresh advance the market re-
coded owing to the suspicion the big
longs were unloading. The close was easy
with July at 931sc, exactly the same as
Saturday.
CORN-Corn showed strength owing to
small receipts and because farmers were
not selling freely and on complaint Of
lack of moisture in many districts. July
opened &c to Nc higher at 541sc to 55c and
rose to 551sc.
A further advance followed but prices
reacted when wheat fell off. The close
was easy at $3.50 for July, a net decline
OATS-Trade in oats was excited and
the market scored the best advance OF
any of the cereals. An official statement
that the Missouri crop had fallen II points
under last month and 29 behind last year
formed the chief reason. July started sc
to lie up at 37asc up to 3Sasc to 3Sc and
finally steadied at 375sc.
Professionalism though rather
slow climbed with grain and hogs. FIRST
sales were SC to 15c up with September
delivery $14.35 for pork, $S.221s for lard and
$3.50 for ribs.

ton Subsequently Atchison was marked
up to 1858 and the rest of the market
hardened slightly.
The demand for stocks was leSsened to-
day and the market exhibited a slightly
reactionary tendency. There was consid-
cradle profit taking but after the first
setback in prices the market made some

GREAT ACTOR DEAD
Denman Thompson Passes
Away at Age of Is.
ON THE STAGE SINCE 1853
He Created the Role of Joshua
Whitcomb" in the "Old Home
stead" and Played Part For
a Generation.
ON THE STAGE SINCE 1858

West Swanzey, N. H., April 15.--
One of the oldest and best known
actors in America, Denman Thompson
who made fortune from THE Old
Homestead" died at his country es
tate in West Swanzey. He was seven
ty-eight years of age.
Mr.. Thompson had been Ill of hear
trouble and uraemia since last month
Ten days ago his condition was ex
tremely critical.
His son, Charles Thompson, and his
two daughters, Mrs. w. |. Fitzpatrick
and Mrs. f. A. Mcfarland. both o.
Boston, were with him when he died.
Mr.. Thompson was born In los
cabin in the hamlet of Beechwood
three miles from Girard, Pa, on Oct
Is, 1888. Two years previous his
father, Captain Rufus Thompson, hae
left West Swanzey, which in late
years this boy of the wilderness wa.
to make household word as the set
ting for 1.-THE Old Homestead"
At fourteen Denman returned tt
West Swanzey, and for three year:
worked with his father as carpenter
When seventeen he set out for Bos
ton in search of employment. and soor
after joined Tyson's circus as prop
erty boy and actor.
The following winter, 1853, he made
his first stage appearance as a "supe'
under Charlotte Cushman, who was
playing In Lady Macbeth" at the
Howard Athenaeum. Two years later
part. and following this he went about
the country playing Irish and negro
sketches.
While travelling Thompson was TAX
en- i'll with rheumatism, and as he lay
in bed in Pittsburg. Pa, he thought
out the sketch called Joshua Whit
comb" which he later developed into
1.-THE Old Homestead.
At the Boston theater In 1886 1.-THE
Old Homestead" was first produced
and it has had continual run since
that time. Until few years ago Mr.
Thompson travelled constantly with
the company, but as the weight OF
years bore more heavily upon him he
was obliged to give up all but the
principal cities to an understudy, and
