WHEAT ASCENDS.
Reports of Crop Damage Has Bullish
 Effect on Market.

Chicago, May 17.-Serious crop damage reports from Missouri had d
 bullish effect today On the wheat
 market here. Assertions were re- ceived that Hess4an fly was In every
 field in the western part of the state
 and that a heavy reduction of yield
 could apparently not be escaped,
 while dread of frost over the spring
 crop belt tended to further strength en the market after opening 1-2c off
 to like advance, prices scored ma- terial gain all around.
 Corn ascended with wheat. At first, however, the market was very
 heavy, owing to favorable corp re- Opening prices, which were 1-S@3-fc lower, were followed by a rally of well above Saturdays level. Oat smerely reflected the action Of other grain. Trade was of scatter
 ed character.
 Steadiness was the. rule in provls- ions. The bulge in cereals seems to
 offset lower prices for hogs. Talk that the wheat crop damage in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and other states might result in cut Of 100 100000 bushels from the govern i ment figures of a month ago led afterward to a sharp additional up turn. The close was unsettled at a rise of 1 3-4@4 1-2c net. Predictions of frost counted against the bears in corn.

DROUTH AND WROMS
 HURT YOUNG COTTON

Cut worms are becoming very act i've and doing much damage to young cotton plants, because of the cool weather that has been experienced in this section for some time past, ac- cording to Farm Demonstration Agent Joel Lambert, who was in the city again yesterday evening, after several inspection trips in the northern sec ton of the county.
 Reports to the same effect are be- ing received from other sections of Jefferson county, as well as from other counties in this part of the state.
 Not only is cotton suffering from the cut worms, but the crop is being otherwise damaged by the weather and especially by the lack of rain. A serious setback has already been sus- tained. due to the lack of mos1ture, and with each day this damage is be- ing augmented.
 "Rain is very baldy needed" said MT. Lambert last evening. "Warm weather and rains will do much to improve agricultural conditions in this county and all the farmers are hoping there will be a decided change in the weather within the next few days"

through the house in short order.

through the house in short order
1t was interesting, not to say anus
ing, to observe the manner in which
members of the house who had stood
with the opposition N prolonging the
filibuster by the simple expedient of
nay roll calls, on diliatory motions,
vote for the bills when the final show
down came. They offered various and
sundry excuses for their remarkable
changes of heart, and the house &C
cepted the same with merriment I'M
disguised and unrestrained.
Notwithstanding the fact that Repre-
sentative Fullbright, of Burke county,
leader of the so-called conservative"
prohibition faction in the house, voted
for the bills of the majority, after fail
i, g to persuade the house to accept his
substitutes, the majority prohibition
forces are outspoken in their resent
ment of his general attitude and con-
duct all the way through. They open
iy accuse him of giving them more
trouble than even the straightout OPP
ponents of prohibition, and they as
sert that if he and his following had
rot voted with the opposition in ~
longing the filibuster, the opposition
could not have prevented the bills
from coming to vote
Already the ants in the house are
discussing the attacks which they say
Will be made upon the bills in the
courts. If their predictions be correct
and they seem to know whereof
they speak-the interests opposed 10
effective prohibition laws will imme
diately concentrate their whole atten
tion and influence in an effort to null
lily the bills on the ground of uncon-
stitutionality.
