Early Bullish influence Yields to Re

at Chicago.

CHICAGO. July 16.-Although reports
Of storm damage in parts of Kansas
and Nebraska had a bullish effect to.
day on the wheat market, the effect
failed to last. Enlarged receipts here
and increased offerings from the coun-
try were largely responsible for the re.
action. Traders seemed to be about
evenly divided as to the probable
course Of the market
After opening unchanged to IN
higher, prices scored a slight further
gain and then receded to about last
nights level.
Advantage to Corn Bears.
Corn was governed mainly by the &C.
ton Of wheat. Hot weather, however
gave advantage to the bears. Opening
prices, which ranged from x OFF to Y
advance. were followed by a moderate
general sag.
Sentiment regarding oats appeared te
be against the bulls. Trade, though
was virtually confined to pit specula-
tors.
Provisions suffered from lack of sup
port. Higher prices for hogs were ig-
nored.
Afterward the wheat market took a de-
cided upward swing. Influenced by reports
that so far not to exceed per cent Of the

NO LINERS TO ENGLAND
FOR THE NEXT II DAYS
Drain on Vessels by British Admiralty Means No Craft
Will Leave This Port for Great Britain
Longest Pause in Thirty-fve Years.

No British or neutral steamship will
sail from this port for Great Britain.
exclusive of to-day's departures, for
eleven days. According to veterans in
the steamship business, this will be the
first time in thirty-fve years when a
week has elapsed without a vessel sail
ing for England direct. Some of the
oldtimers declared yesterday that next
weeks deficiency will be the first of it's
kind since steam vessels began n regu-
lar service between this city and Great
Britain.
Strikes in the port Of Liverpool and
the heavy demands made upon the
transatlantic lines by the Admiralty
for transports have been responsible
for the suspension of service.
1t was said by several steamship men
that they thought the Admiralty had
used little discretion in its selection of
steamships, and had drawn too heavily
on the services out Of New York. With
the tremendous tonnage lying in the
congested ports of England, it was
thought the Admiralty might have
spared several Of the big vessels it has
selected from the New York service.
Philadelphia and Baltimore, it is said,
have had little or no drain made upon
them by the Admiralty, the great brunt
being borne by this city.
The first departure will be the White
Star liner Arabic. which IS scheduled TO

HIS ART "BOTCHED,"
SUES FOR $4,000
George Grey Barnard
Says Architects Spoiled
His Library Groups.

Calling the groups entitled History
and "The Arts" on the north and south
pediments of the New York Public Ii
brary. at Fifth Avenue and Forty-s9e-
ond Street, disgrace to the library
and a stain on my reputation George
Grey Barnard, the sculptor, who did
them. has brought suit in the Supreme
Court for $4,000 against Donnelly &
Ricci. architects and sculptors, of 335
East Forty-sixth Street, who executed
the groups and set them up.
Mr.. Barnard says that the groups
which cost the city nearly $40, O,ooO' Will

Ho insists that the work done by the
defendants is defective. He stated EN-
phaticallv yesterday that he would

had been made Of the work | wrote to
the trustees of the library and told
them that it was impossible to let them
remain as they were. That was two
years ago. When the plaster models
left my studio they were perfect. From
that time they have been bungled.'
Mr.. Barnard went on to describe
what he considers to be defects IN the
groups. He pointed out that the figure
of the knight in armor of the His
tory" group has nine inches of marble
missing in the chest. The knight, he
said. was leaning backward instead of
forward.
"Furthermore. the pigeons, the sword
and other details are absolutely wrong
in places and are lacking in marble.
That means that the marble was
skimped and the work done badly"
The main figure in "The Arts groups

worst i'm the lot
"The grotesque and unnatural posi-
tions of both groups are apparent 20

The case will come 10 trial late this
month. Donnelly g. Ricci. the defen-
dants. brought suit last July for $4,000

Mr. Barnards answer 10 the action was
the allegation that the work was de
