Prince udine Ill.

Washington, June 4-The trip OF the
Italian war mission thru the south ana
middle west which was to have been
begun today has been postponed owing
to the illness of Prince Udine and Sig
nor Marconi.
The prince was taken with slight
fever today after all arrangements for
the special train had been completed.
1t, was not felt possible for him to
leave here at / o'clock as planned and
the trip was therefore postponed until
the nature of his illness was determin-
ed. 1t was believed not to be serious.
Mr.. Marconi has been i'll for week
with a rather chronic sickness and had
planned to avoid the journey through
the south.
At the home of Joseph Letter. where
the prince is stopping. it was said that
the illness of the prince was not Sc
rious. He is suffering from a slight
fever which developed from cold.
1t is believed probable he win be able
to be about in two or three days.

Iamson's Grain Letter,

FURNISHED by Lamson Bros, & Co, 203
Masonic Temple; Phone 1881
Chicago. June 4.-Wheat-The very
limited volume OF wheat trade was
conducted today under the usual un-
satisfactory conditions. Market orders
caused very radical price changes
which makes the effort to trade more
or less of a travesty on an open mar
ket. The Ohio crop report, received to-
day. indicates a condition Of IS per
cent OF per cent better than in May
and 90 per cent better than year ago.
A good sized increase in the visible
supply is Of little significance because
the accumulation was almost entirely
at seaboard points.
Corn-The corn market was very 1r-
regular, rallying sharply when local
shorts attempted to cover and breaking
about as rapidly later. The July and
September made moderate gains for
the day while the December LOST
ground. The cash demand continues
good with premiums well maintained.
Local sentiment is growing more bull
ish the position being based on lack Oh
heavy offerings and good cash de-
mand. Unfavorable weather continues
to prevent the completion Of planting
in some sections.
Oats-After being strong early, oats
lost their gain under pressure from
local longs and brokers who usually act
for the seaboard. There was said to be
some re-selling by a foreign govern
ment, altho this was not positively con-
frned. Little fault can be found with
growing crop conditions and there is
no scarcity indicated between now and
harvest,

visions Weaken Under ieavy Hog

Chicago, June wheat prices today
showed tendency to make f1ighty but
1ll-sustained upturns. Trading was too
restricted to allow much Significance to
be attached to the deads. Opening
prices, however, which ranged from l
cent higher, with July at 2.0S and Sep
TENDER at 1872, were followed by rela-
tive weakness in the September option,
but then by sharp gains all around and
later a material sag.
A good increase OF the United States
visible supply total was ignored. The
close was firm, to 8 cents net higher,
with July at $2.15 and September at
s1.95.
Corn.
Favorable weather had bearish ef-
feet on corn. Speculative selling was
on a large scale. After opening TX
cents off to Il cent higher, the market
rallied little and then suffered de-
cided general fall, which, however, was
later virtually overcome.
Reports Indicating unusual lightness
of country reserve stocks counted later
as bullish factor and SO too did even
ing up for tomorrow's holiday. The
close, however, was unsettled, ranging
from q cent decline to like advance
compared with Saturdays finish.
Oats.
Oats declined chiefly as result OF
good crop prospects. Trade was only Of
a scattering character.
Provisions.
Larger receipts Of hogs than expect
ed acted as a weight on the provisions
market. Moreover foreign advices were
bearish.
