CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO I'll, June Holders OF
wheat showed an increasing desire today
to convert profits into cash before the
government crop report Monday. Drench-
ed fields in southwestern Kansas. where
absence of rain has been worst. formed a
decided incentive.
The market, though steady at. the close.
was IL to - under last night. Corn fin
ished "a down, oats off 14aas to Il. and
provisions ranging from 10 decline to an
advance of ol2.
Besides good rains in Kansas and else
where in the winter crop belt, beariSh
news on wheat included reports OF heavy
cargo arrivals at Liverpool and notable
gain in the English visible supply.
Furthermore. domestic primary receipts
were more than double those of last
year. being 4S1 900 bushels against $50. OO0
bushels AT the same time export clear
ances of wheat and -four were light
equaling only 2T4Oo bushels.
Warmer weather In the spring crop
territory had tendency to prevent
any important wheat rally. In this
connection good deal of interest
was aroused through assertions that
July deliveries at Minneapolis would
he on a large scale. Much of the 49,
100000 bushels on hand there was
said to be too moist and otherwise un-
suitable to carry in elevators through
summer heat
In the corn crowd new buyers were
few and former ones more disposed
to sell than to buy. Rural consign-
ments were pushing up and sales to
the east scarcely worth mention. The
oats market fiattened out under big re-
ceipts in all directions.
Pork dealers worried over signs that
one of the big packers had control of
July delivery. Commi ssion house sell
ing made lard and ribs easy.

The Lace of Venice.

From Harper's Weekly.
The lace OF Venice has been celebrated
for many centuries. 1t was made origi-
nally by nuns within the walls of con-
vents for ecclesiastical garments. Then.
with the fall Of the Venetian republic. the
converts were closed and the lace indus
try ceased to exist for An entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Margherita. after
ward Queen OF Italy. took measures TO
revive it. especially as a means OF pro-
yiding employment for Venetian women.
At present there are several schools sub
sidized by the government, i'll which the
art is taught. ,
The pupils are women of all ages. Each
sits on low stool and holds a plump,
square cushion in her lap. ON tbs cush-
ion is pinned a strip of paper marked
with the pattern to he followed, and into
this pattern the nimble-fingered worker
sticks glass-headed pins about which she
twists her threads.
From twenty to fifty shuttleS depend
from ALI sides of the cushion. and these
are thrown across and back with the
rapidity of a typist handling the keys of
her machine.
The process is so simple that it looks
like play. but the lace produced repre-
sents thousands of dollars. The simple
laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers OF the women. hut the exquisite
rose point and other similar sorts are
evolved much more slowly.

Crop Conditions Not as Favorable.

Stock operators who keep close track
of weather and crops agree that asricul-
tural conditions are not as favorable as
they were two or three weeks ago. Later

however.
London. Paris and the southwest and
west led in the magnitude of selling OPP
erations this week. The movement bore
every sign of being genuine liquidation.
Indignation more than fright was the
ruling sentiment, apparently.
The sly bargain hunter. who usually
haunts the brokerage offices in panic
times looking for attractions, is notably
scarce these days. Conditions do not APP
peal to him. and ne successfully resists
temptation to break into the game. They
do not seem to like the nest that is being
persistently befouled by its tenant.

Quinine Factories in Java.
From the New York Sun.

rom the New 1CTk sun.
Java produces about two-thirds of the
worlds supply of cinchona, and II has
for years been regularly shipped to 1iol-
land. The large quinine manufactures,
mostly situated in Germany. supply them
selves with the raw material in the
Dutch market, and of late years the
manufacturers have combined to keep
the, prices at such low level as to render
the cinchona cultivation Improbable, al
though the manufacturers of qunine have
been earning large dividends.
To meet this combination it was re-
solved to establish a uuinine factory. in
Java, says the British consul at Batavia,
and this has been done at Blandong, where
the first Java quinine has been produced.
This is described as of excellent quality
and. equal In all respects to the best
European brands. Last year the total
production of cinchona in the island was
over eight and. one-half million. pounds

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, June THE cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet today and
showed somewhat reactionary ten
dency during the early trading under
realizing for over the week end or scat
tered selling inspired by favorable
weather reports. Later, however. prices
rallied and the close was very steady. net
points lower to points higher with
the new crop showing the gains although
there was no change in the late weather
and crop news.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to a decline Of 3 points,
with near months relatively easy in SYM
oathy with the cables. Indications OF
showers and lower temperatures in the
south following midweek complaints of
dry, hot weather were considered very
encouraging from new crop stand
point and prices eased off to net loss
of about to 8 points during the early
trading. There was little southern
selling here, supposedly on the crop sit
uation. but the bulk OF the cotton offered
was supposed to be in the way of scat
tered profit-taking and as sellers were
not aggressive the market steadied UP
some = or 6 points from the lowest on
covering in the late trading. Local bulls
attributed the comparatively steady rul-
ing of the market to continued nervous
ness over the near month situation and
reports that European spinners were
disposed to buy new crops freely on de-
clineS. Weekly reviews of the dry goods

NEW ORLEANS, June Tt was a
typical weekend session in the cotton
market with trading on both sides Of
an evening up character. Scalping
longs took their profits whenever the
market showed the slightest tendency
to advance and shorts covered on every
little downward movement. Trading
was professional in character.
The opening was steady at de-
cline of l to 3 points on good weather

stood one point over yesterdays close
in the early trading. Before the mid
die of the morning prices were to
points under yesterdays close. This
stimulated buying of covers for short
account. which continued until the
trading months were one point over
yesterdays final figures. This small
advance was lost in fresh selling on
the forecast of showers for the entire
cotton region. The close was un-
changed to a net loss of points.
The weather map was cloudy and in
