He may be compelled to change these figures at the end of the year. because the min- ing of gold is almost suspended, not because there is no longer any gold, but instead because wages are very high, equipment very expensive and the purchasing power of the gold dol lar has decreased
 A GREAT WHEAT PRODUCER
 Not until after the close of the Civil war did the United States begin to take rank with the greatest exporters of wheat in the world In one of his addresses Judge Gary called attention 10 the 1act that our increase in wheat production is due to three causes flrst. the bounGless area of fertile lands therefore uncultivated, virgin soil adaptable for the cultivation of wheat. Second, the liberal land laws adopted by Congress which made 1t possible to open upon easy terms these wheat belts; third, the almost coinci- dent development of the steel rail and the air brake, which made transporta, ton from the wheat fields to the mar ket possible at relatively small cost.
 Therefore, within the past 50 years, we have so increased as a wheat pro- ducer, according to Judge Gary, so that we produce little under one third of the total supply of wheat harvested each year throughout the

WEAKNESS OF SILVER CAUSES A LOW E R
 PRICE IN THE PIT
Made Fractional sGain-Loss In Provision List
Rx A.,oclainh Pres,

 Chicago, June s.-Corn averaged lower in price today, owing more or less to ex- treme weakness of silver and cutting of the Chicago and Northwestern railway dividend. The close was unsettled atlsc to 1c net decline, with July $l.105s to S1.70%, and September S157A to s1.571z. Oats gained Ac to 7sc. Provisions fin ished 2l2c to Sc down.
 British sentiment regarding corn was quite pronounced in some quarters where the weakness of silver was taken as re- | flecting financial difficulties in the Far East and as indicating general depres- sion for commodities. On the other hand, bulls contended that silver weakness meant further imitation. The reduction Of the Northwestern dividend was not alto gether a surprise. but the announcement of the cut was made the most of as a depressing factor, and so. too, were slightly larger receipts here, as well as advices that Argentine corn continued to be freely offered at the United States seaboard. The supply of railway cars, however showed little improvement, and at one time the market made a sharp upturn as a result of the celerity with which corn offerings for future delivery disappeared.
 Oats touched the highest prices of the season. Arrivals continued meager. Lower quotations on hogs weighed down provisions.

Break Caused By Drop In Bar Silver at London During the Days
 Trading
By Associated Press

New York, June S.-Continued favorable weather, combined with unfavorable re- ports from the goods trade and a fur ther sensational break in the market for bar silver at London, led to renewe d liquidation in the cotton market during todays earlier trading. October con tracts sold off to 35.32c, or 34 points net lower. and 1SS points below the high levels touched following the publication of the government crop report last week. The market then steadied on covering and trade buying, early losses being just about recovered. with the close steady, net l point higher to 10 points lower. There were rumors that cotton was com ing here for delivery on July contracts, but July was relatively firm during the entire day and showed the advance at the close The market opened barely steady at net decline of to 2S points and active months sold "A to 3S points net lower on the, break during the mid dle of the day, when selling was stimu- lated by the pessimistic view of Far Eastern buying power based on the de- cline in silver. July sold off to 3S25c and December to 3425c, but rallied to 3S.o7c and 34.61c in the later trading.

PROFESSIONALS IN CHARGE OF WALL
 STREET YESTERDAY
Financial Considerations Were OvershadOwed By Interest In Political
 Events In Chicago
By Associated Press

New York, June S.-Business on the stock exchange today was again very superficial and almost entirely pro- fessional. The usual financial consid- erations were overshadowed by the greater interest manifested in the course of political events at Chicago.
 The only untoward development of the session was the news that divi- dends on the common and preferred shares of the Chicago and Northwest ern railway, an integral part of the Vanderbilt system, had been cut.
 After an unbroken record of IS years at z per cent, the common stock was reduced to a per cent basis, while the preferred, with a similar record, was cut from to ' per cent.
 An unofficial announcement issued after the directors meeting stated that this action was deemed advisable be- cause of existing uncertain transpor- tation conditions.
 Chicago and Northwestern common. ordinarily one of the most inactive is- sues in the railway list, suffered an exereme decline of 10R points to 70A on very heavy offerings and closed at a net decline of SIS, while the pre- ferred dropped 10 points to 103 on a
 
 Rails, as a group, notably Reading and junior issues of the western and : southwestern territories. which had shown marked strength during the early and intermediate periods, broke sharply, the reaction extending to in dustrials and specialties.
 r. Almost the only issues to withstand the latter pressure which was height ened by call moneys advance to 10 per cent, were some of the oils and equipments. There were moderate re- coveries before the close, however, when money eased to per cent.
 Yet another advance in Anglo French lives to a new high quotation for the present movement was the feature of the bond market.
 Liberty bonds were irregular, as also were most other domestic issues. Total sales. par value, $17,775,000.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, June S.--While the cotton market felt more or less selling through out today's session. it did not make much impression on values, and the close was 2 points down to 4 points up, net, for the day. Offerings resulted from the fla vorable weather map. indicating dry weather in all sections of the belt, and the forecast of geenrally fair weather.
 On the, first call the strongest months were to points but other months were off, and after the call the whole list fell off, the decline continuing until the trading months were 29 to 34 points under the close of yesterday. In the second half of the session early sellers were in- clined to take their profits. and their de- the forecast of generally fair weather.
 The steadiness of the latter part of the session was due to expectations of un- favorable weekly crop returns from the government tomorrow. Continued ac- counts of boil weelvil damage. especially in the southwest, also helped values.

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTS

Some 30 years ago the late Abram S. Hewitt dared tell the members of the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Brit ain the United States would within a few years surpass in the production or iron and steel the output of the great British steel and iron plants. Ing though knowing well that MT. Hewitt was himself Of high authority upon iron and steel production. He lived long enough to be able to point to verlfication of his prediction. But he did not live to a sufficient age to congratulate Judge Gary upon the statement that today the United States is producing a little over 40 per cent of the entire world supply of iron and steel.
 Our coal mines yield 52 per cent of the world supply or coal. From the depths of the copper mines come 50 per cent of the world supply of cop per and from the southern cotton fields 66 per cent of all the cotton which is spun each year into cloth and other material Our oil fields are yielding nearly 70 per cent of the worlds sup. ply of oil and of Indian corn and maize we are producing all but 25 per cent of the worlds supply. Had Samuel J. Tilden lived long enough to hear Judge Gary set forth the amazing sta tistics of our productive capacity he would have been able to recall a state- ment made by him in the fall of 1877, few months after he was defeated for the presidency by Rutherford B. Hayes, Governor Tilden then said that the great bulk of the worlds supply of maize would be harvested in the United States within a few years, and that, the people of other nations would learn as the people of the United States had already learned, the value of h. dian cornmeal properly prepared for eOoixipo

TAYLOR HOLMES
TO APPEAR HERE
IN LIVELY FARCE
Comedian Will Be Seen In "NOthing
But The Truth" At The
Orpheum Theatre

Taylor Holmes in Nothing But The
Truth" is announced as the feature
attraction at the Orpheum Theatre,
Monday IL Nothing But The Truth"
is a perturbation of Frederic S. Is
hams entertaining novel that was
made into a stage farce for William
Collier by James Montgomery. In its
dramatic form the farce constituted
one of the outstanding successes of
the theatrical season, and it's humorous
values have been heightened in the
screen version so that it is said to be
one long gale of merriment from be-
ginning to end.
The plot of this farce is the hilarious
one of a man who makes wager with
three friends that he will go whole
week telling nothing but the truth to
all he meets. 1t is the circumstances
that arise from this situation, when the
veracious hero strives to win the wager
that provides the farce with comedy of
the most excruciating kind. He tells
the truth but it gets him into all kinds
of hot water doing it.
