TODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, June 30-WHEAT-Bullish esti-
mates on the domestic winter crop turned
the wheat market up grade today after an
early decline. The total harvest for the
seven principal states was figurd ct nearly
4O,0O0,OO0 bushels less than the amount
realized in 1914. A big reduction in the
exportable surplus of India counted also
against the bears Opening prices which
ranged from 1sc to sc lower, were followed
by slight additional sag and then an
advance to well above last nights level.
Reports of damage by rains in Okla
homa,, Kansas and Missouri led to fur
Their development of strength. Scantiness
OF new crop purchases from first hands
tended likewise to engender bullish senti-
ment. The close was firm at &c to 11ac
above last night.
CORN-Corn hardened with wheat. In the
beginning, however, the market had a
downward slant owing to favorable wealth
er and to better crop reports. After open
ing unchanged to sc lowers prices scored
moderate net gains.
The bearish nature of the government
week report acted later as a check on the
bulls. The close was nervous, sc to Sc
net higher.
OATS-Oats reflected the course of other
cereals. Trading was mainly between pit
spectators.
,.e Higher prices for hogs
lifted the provision market. Hog receipts
Throughout the west showed a decided
falling off compared with the correspond
ing time last week and a year ago.

Frye Case, Like That of Lusi-
tania, Is "Settled."
No Deviation From Principles
Laid Down, Says Rundschau.
TEUT0NS TO USE OWN MEANS
Newspaper Refers With Con-
tempt to American Insistence.
Will SLOOk Over" Last Note as
PerfunctOry Courtesy.

Berlin, June 30.-A Reuter- dispatch
containing a summary Of the United
States note asking Germany to re-
consider her refusal to settle by di-
rect diplomatic negotiations the claim
arising from the sinking of the Amer
lean ship William M. Frye is printed
without comment by the Berlin news
papers with the exception of the
Rundschau. This paper introduces
its article by saying:
Along with the LuSitania incident
which, 1T is true, is settled, so far as
we are concerned but is to be looked
over again for Americas sake, comes
an exchange of opinions concerning
the sinking of the ship Frye"
The Rundschau asks what more
America wants than an offer to pay
damages. The paper answers its own
question by saying: 1T wants to in
fluence the German method of ma
rine warfare in favor of England. and
absolutely nothing else can be said"
Rejection by the United States of
the proposal for prize court proceed
ings, the Rundschau contends, is not
justified The newspaper maintains
that DANA ges must be fixed by prize
court and continues:
Finally, the American standpoint
that Germany has not the right to
hinder the shipment of contraband on
American ships simply cannot be con-
sidered by us. Germany has this
right Internationally, for it is deal
urgent interests. AS to the means
wherewith it sees fit to put this right
into execution it does not need any
instruction from the United States
any more than in the Lusitania case.
We offer to pay full damages, and
too, is settled so far as we are con-
cerned. at least in principle

MUST BE Transformed.

Our trade cannot afford to longer
oppose an aroused public sentiment"
says Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circu-
lar. 1T would be like Belgium stand
ing alone against the German empire"
And the editor says that in order to
defend the trade successfully liquor
leaders must make war on those
things that breed opposition-must
demand whatever changes are neces-
sary to adapt our affairs to the de-
mands Of public sentiment" The w.
c. T. u, through its mouthpiece, the
Union Signal, informs the trade
that it is a change in nature, not in
method, which public sentiment is de-
handing, and reminds the liquor inter
ests of the declaration Of Mr.. Nc
Donough, former president of the Ma
tional Liquor league, to wit: This
talk of reforming the saloon sounds
we'll in the form of a resolution, but
it is all rot" The change necessary
to adapt the wine and spirits trade to
the demands of public sentiment is
nothing less than a transmutation.

Combination of Property Owners.

A general maintenance tax of two
mills per square foot, which amounts
to 81 per year on a lot 20 by 100 feet,
besides the regular city tax, must be
paid by lot owners in a section of
Philadelphia. This special assess
ment is for the upkeep of the prop
erty, and is applied towards the cost
of garbage collection, snow cleaning,
lighting, maintaining the park and
sewerage system, replanting trees
and shrubbery, cleaning vacant lots,
and repairing streets and sidewalks.
The fund is administered by a com
pany and the lot owner that
all repairs in streets and sidewalks
will be promptly made when needed,
ana will not be subject to the idiosyn-
crasies of private ownership or the
slow methods of municipal depart
