What ruled Ann on very light trade,
maintaining the early gains, notwithstand
ing the restricted character of th trad
nil th general weakneiis to th coarse
grain. Firmness abroad on th forewarn of
light world ahipments and the rln
throughout th harvesting district wr
rly features. I,ater private art vice began
to express Mint apprehension lest continu
ous rain cause trouble and the forecast of
ehoaery weather added to the effectiveness
of the report. A private authority In
the northwest claims that the- wheat
drowned out in the northwest and Canada
will offset th Increase In the acreage and
that the crop In consjuene will be no
larger than I ant rear
Corn wa rather a dragging market, with
pronounced weakness In the July, which
was Affected by liberal receipt at Chicago
and a generous estimate for Monday, coin
cident with a rather alack demand. A good
run of receipts there la promlaed for some
tlma. The rains are beneficial to the crop,
but much mora summer temperature would
help It tremendously.
Oat were easy, closing He lower on Sep
tember. Primary wheat recelnta were iTTOOO bti.

IJverpool closed unchanged to d higher
on wheat and unchanged to d lower on
corn.
Hroomhall estimate world' wheat ship
ments for Monday at 8.000.000 bushels.
E. W. Dnnl of Chicago talk thus of
wheat: "You will have to wake tip and
take notice of this wheat position. It I
shaping so that the world outside of the
United State can easily ship 100.000.UOO
bushels less wheat than Inst year and for
the United States to hava 100.000,000 bushel
less whe.it than It had last year. I be
lieve It has 50.000.00o to 60,000,000 bushels
less of winter wheat than last year for a
starter, and the spring wheat crop Is
marked, In my opinion, Mr a first-class
rail irom present high class conditions, a
difference In the world's wheat movement
of between 100,000.000 and 2uO,OOU,000 bushels
of wheat this year, with last year s prece
dent In the United States of using up a big
crop, and th prospect for a moderate
United State crop this year, would be
just in leverage to give us a ac aavanc
In this country "

CHICAGO. June H Delay to harvesting
operations In the souttiwest caused by wet
weather had a atrengthenlng effect today
on the local wheat market. The Septem
ber option closed at a gain of Ho. Corn
and o ts were each Ho lower. Provision
were 2V' lower to 2Ho higher.
Wet weather played an Important part
In the market today. Heavy rains were
reported throughout Kansas. Nebraska,
Missouri and Iowa, where harvesting Is
In progress snd also in the northwest,
where It Is said clear weather I needed
for th proper development of the spring
aown crop. The bullish feeling was
strengthened bv the statement of an Eng
lish statistician that th world' shipment
for th last week and th amount or bread
stuff on ocean passage will show a con
siderable decrease. From the opening
short and commission house were fair
' buvers. but offerings were light. The de
cline in th price of corn and oats acted
as a drag on the market and prevented
it from becoming "Very atrong. The close
waa steady.. September opened Vff-Ho to
Vdc higher at 4MHc sold between
&r&fl4Ho and closed at 4ff4He. July sold
between t3ti4Ho na dosed at s3S4c.

The ralna had an opposite effect on the
corn market from that which they exerted
on wheat and sentiment In the corn pit

CATTLE There were no fresh receipts
of cattle today of any consequence and all
that could be said regarding the current
day's market Is to quote it as nominally
steady. The receipts for the week.ta will
be noted from the table at the beginning
of this report, have been comparatively
small, showing a slight decrease as com
pared with last week and a still greater
decrease aa compared with a year ago.
The fact la the recelpta this week have
been the smallest of any week since April.
The quality of the cattle, as might be
expected at thl season of the year, has
been quite good on an average, the receipts
being made up almost entirely of corn-fed
beeves.
The market on beef steer during th
week has shown no very great change In
any direction. No very marked advance or
decline took place on any day during the
week, auch change aa did occur being de
scribed a ateady to easier or steady to
strong. At the close of the week the best
beef steers might be quoted aa atrong to
lOo higher than last week, with the coarse,
heavy and unfinished cattle and grassy
kinds steady to lower.
Good dry lot cows and heifer have been
strong every day during the week for the
twofold reason that the recelpta have been
very light, while the demand ha been ex
ceptionally good. Common grassy stock
haa been slow sale every day, being ne
glected for the better grades. Good fat
bull have been good sellers. In faot have
sold as good aa any time, but grass bulls
for some reason or other do not appear to
be wanted, and receivers of auch have com
plained that It has been hard work to move
them at satisfactory prices. Veal calves
have sold well all week, the best bringing
$6.26.
Hardly enough stocker and feeder have
been received from day to day to make a
teat of values or to call it a market. The
few received have sold at satisfactory prices
for this season of the year, but ss a mat
ter of fact there has been very little doing
In this branch of the csttle trade.
HOOS Hogs opened 2ft6c higher this
morning, a few of the first strings going
at $ti.3.S7. Before very many had an
opportunity to take advantage of these
prices the market came to a standstill,
packers announcing that they would buy
the hogs at 'ateady prices or leave them
alone. For a time the trade .waa pretty
dull, sellers fighting hard for higher prices,
but in the end they had to cut loose In
about yesterday's notches. The close was
If anything a little easier than yesterday,
the last hoge selling largely at $6.30.. it
will be noted that the atronger aales on
the opening makes the average market a
trifle atronger than yesterday. It will also
be noted that the hogs sold at a somewhat
wider range today. Operators on the mar
ket are beginning to talk that there is
likely to be a gradual spread in prices, aa
buyer seem to be giving more preference
to the heavy hog of good quality, while
light hog are becoming more plentiful
every day, especially in the southern mar
ket point.
In th face of large receipt th, market
this week haa been in very fair condition.
The week started out with an advance,
but Monday proved to be the high dav and
f trices gradually eased off. reaching the
ow point of the week on Thursday, when
the hogs sold 10c lower than the close of
the prevloua week. The recovery yeater
dav and today leaves the market only 2
b-oc. lower than laat Saturday. The buying
demand haa been extremely good all the
week and in aplte of the very large receipt
the hog have sold freely at current prices

LOCOMOTIVE BUILDER HONORED
Siata of Matthla Baldwin Front

Philadelphia.
The career of Matthias Baldwin from

persistency and industry by which every
ambltiou American boy can proflt In
building a future for himself. Th ststus
which commemorates th great mechanic
waa unveiled In Philadelphia on June 2.
It Is a unique piece of work. It shows
Matthias Baldwin standing a if In medi
tation upon the great growth of the In
dustry which hi genius founded, evi
denced In th clash of th mechanics'
hammer and in the whirr of th ponderous
machinery in the shops across the way.
In hi Isft hand are plans of a locomotiv
and In hi right a compaaa.
Th founder wa born in Ellsabathtowi,
N. J., December 10, 1791, the son of Wil
liam Baldwin, a prosperous carriage
builder, from whom the on Inherited
much of hi genlua. The father left con

quently di.sipated by careless executors.

her own resources for the care of her

At the age of 14. poaaeaaed only of a
common school education, he was ap
prenticed to a jewelry manufacturing
house In Frankford. From his earliest
youth he was distinguished by his marked
fidelity to duty, which readily ton him
the unqualified esteem of those associated
with him whether they were fellow work
ers, or employers.
When the flrst locomotive Imported to
this country waa run on the Camden A
Ambny railroad, Matthias Baldwin ex
amined It '!th the eye of th trained me
chanic, taking in It merit quickly and
giving every attention to the part that he
believed could be Improved upon. Not
long afterward Franklin Peale, proprietor
of Peale' Philadelphia museum, suggested
to Baldwin that a miniature locomotive
would prove an Interesting exhibit, at th
same time inviting him to build one. Th
invitation wa accepted and the first lo
comotive ever built by Bslda-n wss soon
on exhibition, with its trsln of tiny cars.
The American Dally Advertiser of the
date of November 24. 1M2, In a note on
the train ervlre between thi city and
Germantown, saysj
"Notice Th i locomotive engine built by
M. W. Baldwin of this city will depart
daily, when the weather is fair, with a
train of passenger car. On rainy day
horses will be attached."
More than two years e!apd before an
other engine followed., known a "Old
Ironaldes," the main difficulty being that
mechanic mere hard to secure and . even
these had to be trained. He received n4
order for engine In 1834 from th South
Carolina railroad and from the- Pennsylva
nia Stat Line railroad, then under th
supervision of th state and running from
Philadelphia to Columbia. Lancaster
county. The Pennsylvania legislature tjien
passed a Isw ordering several, th former
having given satisfaction In pulling and
speedy qualities, snd th success of ths
plsnt established by Matthias Baldwin b
cam assured. Ry 1886 ths rapacity of th
shops had been Increased to such an ex
tent that fourteen locomotive were turned
out, and the following year the, output
amounted to forty, which were aold on or
