RECORD WHEAT
CROP WILL NOT
CHEAPEN BREAD
Although There'll Be 93O, 100000 Bush.
els, Flour Will Cost No
Less.

Washington, July 9.-Despite a
wheat crop this year estimated at
93O,0O0,O00 bushels, the largest on rec
ord, no hope is held out by the de-
partment OF agriculture for greatly re-
duced prices. 1t was said this was
because the world crops Of wheat and
competing grains do not promise more
than the average of recent years. Be-
sides, more than the usual diversion OF
wheat from it's use as food to the use
of feed for live stock may be expected
because of the present relatively short
supply of corn.
With corn selling in Kansas for
about Z cents more per bushel than
wheat it is not surprising, officials
say, that much wheat should be con-
sumed as feed by animals. Kansas
corn crop last year was only $4,000, 600
bushels, compared with the usual pro-
duction of 150,000,0000 bushels. This
years estimates are for a crop OF
100000 bushels of wheat.

New York, July 9.-Steady Liver

an opening advance of los points IN
the cotton market today.
Liverpool was good buyer of new
crop months here and there seemed
to be a moderate demand from trade
houses and Wall street sources, but
general business was quiet, and after
selling about 1@S points net higher,
prices eased off slightly under scat

The detailed weather report for the
Houston district showing more rain

barely steady after midday with new
crop months about point lower to 8

CORN HIGHER THAN WHEAT.
In Kansas Larger Grain Sells for Z
Cents More the Bushel.

Washington, July 9.-Wheat sold at
only lac a bushel more than corn on
July 1, according to the average of
prices for all the states just announc-
ed by the department of agriculture.
In Kansas corn was selling for &c
more a bushel than wheat. This was
due to the failure of the Kansas corn
crop last year and the extraordinary
fine prospect of the wheat crop there
this year.
The average price of wheat for the
country on July was 1850 bushel
This is 1880 less than the July aver
age for the past five years. In North
Carolina the price was $1.05, while in
Oklahoma it was 64c bushel.
The average price of corn was 1850
a bushel, or &c bushel more than the
average July price for the past five
years. In Iowa corn sold at CSC; in
North Carolina SO cents.

FINDS SITE OF
LASALLE COLONY
DR.. H. E. Bolton Says it Was Near
keeran, Texas, and That Explorer
Was Killed on BraZOs.

San Antonio, Tex, July 9.-That ne
has found the exact spot at which La
Sale, the great French explorer, 10
Gated his last colony on the shores OF
the Gulf of Mexico in 1885, and that
he has proven accepted history wrong
in this and in regard to the death
place of La Sale are the claims of DR..
Herbert e. Bolton of the University of
California, who reached here today
from an explorative trip along the
gulf coast. He has positive proof he
asserts, that the La Sale colony was
located on the Garcitas river, about
five miles above it's mouth. Historians
have placed this colony on the Lavaca
river, and affluent of Matagorda bay.
Furthermore, DIR. Bolton says that La
Sale was killed ON the Brazos river
near the present town of Navasota.
Historians have placed the killing on
the Trinity river near the city of Dali
las.
DR.. Bolton claims to have been guild
ed in his research by the finding OF
the records and maps OF an unknown
Spanish expedition to Matagorda bay
in 1890, the year after the destruction
of the French colony. These maps, he
saws. show an accurate outline of all
the rivers emptying into the gulf in
that vicinity and give record OF the
fact tina the Spaniards found the
remnants of the La Sale colony iden-
tifying the location at the exact spot
at which Dr. Bolton claims to have re-
discovered it. He not only found the
h,,{ ,,nfnrn0d V0rinnC
foundations of buildings and found
vases, porcelain bowls and other
utensils of that period. He brought
with him a mass of Photographic evil
dence.
81 found the remains of the French
settlement" said DR.. Bolton, exactly
on the spot to which l had been d.
.rected. by the old map, 1t is on the
keeran ranch about two miles south
east of the station of Keeran. on the
Brownsville road. The opinion set
forth by Parkman and other historians
was that the colony was located on
the Lavaca river, but this is proven
untrustworthy."
Discussing the death place OF La
Sale, DR.. Bolton said:
"Parkman and others have supposed
that tn emurder of La Sale by his
subordinates, while he was on his way
to Canada for help in 1857. occurred
near the Trinity or the Neches river.
/ claim to have proven beyond doubt
that the killing occurred on the
Brazos, almost on the site of the pres
ent town of Navasota.'
According to the historians Park
man, Winson and Shea, the second ex-
petition OF La Sale to construct forts
along the Mississippi river ended dis
astrnusly. The expedition missed the
mouth OF the Texas coast adjacent to
