NEW YORK LETTER. New York, May 31. The market displayed ronsi Jer.iMe. i eeuperitlve power during the first oart of the so-sion. The early prices showed gains '.-.".lying from one-half to jr.e .er een over the closing figures on Wednesday.
Reading advanced from 99 ?i to 102
upon the excellent showing of the com-
ally's earnigs for A;rll,
The president's speech yesterday
evealed nothing new in relation to
is attitude upon railroad legislation
nd corporation affairs. After the first
our of the session, the market lapsed
nto letnargy with prices Inclined to
weakness. Selling presute was dis-
losed in several issues which had en-
oyed advances up to the noon hour.
It was reported that Mr. Kellogg of
he Interstate commerce commission
will petition the court to compel Mr.
larriman to testify in regards to the
Alton deal. Thi3 bit of gossip was ln-
trumental in starting a selling wave
n the Larriman shares. Irion Pa
ine declined from 135 to 133; Southern
Pacific from 7" V, to 76. The Hill
hares, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, which had a remarkably
trong tone in the early part of the ession suffered losses of about two
points respectively.
Copper sold up to S7 early In sym
pathy with the general strength
hroughout the list. It fell back, how
ever, to So' on rumors that the metal market is in an inflated condition and
that a break in the prices of the
metal Is Inevitable. Considering tlie retrenchment, discharging of employes,
abandonment of projected improve
ments by railroad companies, It Is reasonable to expect that the melal market should decline at least five cetns per pound to become in line Willi
he legitimate conditions. The entire
market closed irregular.
ft-ature of the grain trade. July oats reached new high levels, selling over fifty cents. j Reports of continued damage by the! green bugs In the west and southwest with the pest infesting new territory j caused the advance. There was con- ' siderable profit taking at the high lev- j els which brought about a reaction of! about a cent a bushel from the high ! prices. The market closed strong. j

A California newspaper chronicles
the prowess of a largo number of mighty nimrod3 who recently killed the limit number of ducks on various preserve grounds previously baited with food which had made the birds
tame and unsuspicious.
This "barnyard sport" does not appeal to a Recreation correspondent, who objects to unnecessary slaughter,
even if the lav does admit the killing
cf half a hundred ducks.
The practice of "salting" duck marshes and lakes with corn and other
grrjn, and then "burning them out" on the opening day is simply a phase of the degeneracy of latter-day duck
shooting.
The birds get so that they will come in for the grain like chickens at the
call of a housewife. It requires no
hunting skill to find the game and it
is so ridiculously tame from non-mo
lestation and constant feeding at the baited points that the shooting is
about as difficult as shooting at a poul
try show and killing a rooster.

CHICAGO LETTER.
Chicago, May 31. WHEAT Liberal
advances in the foreign markets combined with an oversold condition in the
local market furnished a strong and higher market. The ready prices, however, were lower, the weakest of the day. Bountiful rains throughout the
state of Kansas stimulated the selling pressure at the opening. After these offerings were absorbed, the market recovered quickly. The July sold over
$1.00 from an opening around 9S cents.
The bullish Influences were more
numerous tnan ever, particularly me
foreign situation. German markets were reported higher and excited, caused by the buying of wheat and rye
for the account of Russian dealers, based on the bad crop damage reports in the latter country. Kansas had the same class of damage reports as heretofore. It was reported that green
bugs had appeared In several sections of Minnesota and South Dakota,
All of these factors were conducive
to hisrher prices. The closing tonignt

Weather Hnrts Boom. The abominable weather of the past week has had its effect on the local real estate market and the number of transfers is not nearly as great as thpv were earlier in the spring. In
fact the weather and it alone Is responsible for the fact that Hammond has not been carried off its feet by one of the biggest booms in its history. All spring the real estate men have been waiting patiently and saying to themselves that things would be lively when spring opened. Spring failed to show up at all and now that the summer season (summer In name only) is upon them they are at a loss to know what the effect will be on the market. The period of speculation in lots and acreage which followed the locating . -i a j 1 C . 1 fn v. m no n t V n a
oi me jMauuiiiu cicci v-i mv-j , ceased almost entirely and most of the j
purchases being made now are by those l who are seeking homes or by those
who are substituting better homes for the ones they now live in. It would be a mistake to give the imnresslon that there is a lack of con-
industries located in this region already to make It impossible for the city to adjust itself to the demands that are being made upon it, for houses, for several years to come. There is in addition to the Standard Steel Car company, the Western Glucose company, the Gibson yards and shops and numerous other smaller industries. This means that carpenters must be employed to build new houses, hardware men and lumber dealers will sell building materials. New streets will be opened and there will be prosperity among the merchants and those engaged in the trades. The summer season will probably be one of the busiest In the history of the city and It is safe to say that there
will be at least one more year of boom
in store for Hamomnd.

report progress in the preparation of i the lots for the market. Already 12
of the lots have been sold and the
