NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 6. The stock market continues in the hands of the professional element. Price movements were not wide with the exception of one or two specialties which enjoy the center of the stage if there is any activity in the stock market at all. American Smelters scored a gain of two points during the first hour of trading. This was due in the main to the action of the directors in declaring a dividend of 2 per cent, instead of the customary 1. This places the stock upon an S per cent, basis. The action was quite a surprise to a large number of traders in Wall street. One or two large shorts were run In around 118, then the market eased off "ibout a point. In the railway list. Union Pacific was the leader, advancing from 132 to 134. Rumors were current in the street to the effect that the government would not press their case against Harriman to the extreme; that there would be no prosecutions either civic or criminal. These rumors of courso lacked confirmation. All manner of news Is put into circujatlon to create a better feeling in the stock market and to induce the outside speculative public to enter the arena. So far thero is no perceptible Increase of business noted in the various brokerage offices. The market lacks an Individual leader. In order to stimulate activity and bring forth the festive but fickle public. The market generally closed irregular with slight price changes compared with yesterdays final sales.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, June 6. WHEAT The market showed decided improvement after the early weakness had spent Its force. The news In a general way was of a bullish tenor, yet the bears made much of what fragrmenta of bearish news that was in circulation. The foreign situation assumed more favorable conditions. Generous rains In southern Russia are reported to have been of great benefit to the growing crop. Northwestern traders have been arrayed on the bull side of the market all during the session. Their purchases have been instrumental in causing the advance. July wheat sold up two cents a bushel from the low prices obtaining at the opening. One of the extremely bullish factors was the Cincinnati Price Current's weekly summary of the growing crops. This journal, which is considered one of the most conservative In the trade and one which has a large following, estimates the total yield of both winter and spring wea

at euo minion Dusneis. alob u o.uuuLtLast year

125 millions less than last years crop. The buying of wheat In this market was due in a measure to the foregoing estimate. Crop Expert Inglis who is a recognlid authority upon crop conditions, reports the green bug pest In various sections of Illinois and Indiana. Upon the whole, the bulls had the better of the argument, the closing

i prices were almost the best of the day.

CORN Dull, draggy market. All the snap seems to have evaporated, leaving the market to the pit traders and profesisonal scalpers. Iowa sent in a fewbull articles upon the growing crop. The state authorities are quoted as saying Iowa will not raise over SO per cent of an average crop. It is. however, a little early in the season to make any authentic estimates on the corn crop. The receipts of corn at this market continue liberal. Predictions are to the effect that they will continue large during the next fortnight. The cash market reflected the same dullness apparent in the speculative pit. The close was steady to firm with very little change in prices. OATS Contrary to the balance of the grain pits, this cereal displayed a weak undertone throughout the session. The selling was upon a large scale and for the account of one of the more prominent bulls who has been exceedingly "right" upon the oats market. The sales were presumably realizing of ! profits. The July option suffered a decline of over a cent a bushel. Crop conditions practically unchanged from yesterday, but cash demand both for export and home consumption has fallen off to almost nothing. The market closed weak at tha decline. PKOni'CE MARKETS. Chicago, June 6. Supplies of veal were light, with the demand active and prices c higher. Poultry sold well at former prices. For butter and eggs a good speculative demand was in evidence, with stocks will cleaned tip at firm prices. Bean prices had a further break of 4c. With the crop outlook more favorable the farmers are marketing their old crop more freely and supplies at present are more than ample for all requirements. There were 1G cars of strawberries on the market today. The demand showed a vast improvement over yesterday and offerings were readily absorbed at the outside figures. California fruit sold well. Arrivals of cherries were heavier. Butter Receipts, 7.641 tubs.

E 2 Before Another Year Congress Will Have Provided For River Improvements to Calumet Ave. For the first time in the history of Hammond the prospects of having5 a harbor deep enough to float the biggest ships of tho great lakes may be said to be very good and it will be a matter to surprise to most of the citizens of this region to know that upon the re commendation of Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Blxby, Chief Engineer McKlnsey of the United States engineering corps has authorized the establishing of shore lines of the river in prepara shore lines of the river in preparation for the improvements that will be asked of congress next year. As an indication that something tan gible is being done to prepare for the dredging of the river through Ham mond to a width of 250 to 200 feet, A T. Grohmann and two assistants have been making the surveys along the river in Hammond for the past two days and are now furnishing the gov ernment with the data from which the courso of the stream through tho city will be determined. All Obstructions Xoted. Sketches are being made of the shore line of the river and every building dock, boat house, or other obstruction no matter what Its nature, is being ac curately measured and its location In dlcated on the map. When all of this information Is se cured by Mr. Grohmann and his assist ants it will be sent to the office of the United States engineers where they will determine the future lines of both 250 and a 300-foot stream. When this Is done a meeting will be held to determine what width the prop erty owners along tha river favor. The government engineers may or may not act upon the recommendation of the property owners, but with the information that will be gathered from a meeting of this kind, the lines of the river will be definitely established. The project will then go to congress where it will be taken charge of by Congressman Crumpaeker and with the recommendation of Chief Engineer McKinsey an appropriation is almost sure to be made. Some Money Already Appropriated. It Is a well known fact that the government has already appropriated money enough to dig the harbor to a depth of fifteen feet as far as the forks, which are two miles west of Hammond, and tho appropriation which will be made next year will provide for the digging of the canal from the forks to the Calumet bridge. It la not generally known that aa far back as 1S37 the government engineers foresaw the possibilities of the Grand Calumet river and retained a strip of land 600 feet wide for harbor purposes. If the government chose, it could now utilize all of this strip In dredging the river but it Is apparent that such great width la not necessary and as some of the factories along the river would have to be moved If the full width was utilized, it 19 likely that Engineer Grohmann will recommend that but S00 of the 600 foot strip be utilized. To Improve to Gary. It seems certain now that before another year la passed congress will have provided for river Improvements as far west as the Calumet avenue bridge, and It la the belief of the sovi ernment ensrineers that as socn as this

HALSEY STILL OPPOSES CANAL. The Chicago real estate board is con tinuing its opposition to the enormous expenditures of the trustees of the sanitary district. F. A. llalsey, chair man of the committee on sanitary affairs, presented a long report at the meeting of the real estate board yes terday, calling attention to present de fective and needlessly expensive plans of the district. The report outlined another project which would also take care of the drainage of the southern part of the city, and would also provide an ample How of water. The plan had been suggested by Henry II. Walker, a well known real estate operator. It provides for a channel con necting with the Thirty-ninth street conduit at the stock yards, thence west to the drainage canal and the use of the old Illinois and Michigan canal. This plan, Mr. Hnlsey said, met with the approval of Chief Fnglneer Randolph, but the latter had said that It would cost some money, but he thought that as it was a project of so much importance the banitary district could well afford the necessary funds. The report said that the cost of tho Calu met-Sag and the Kvanston auxiliaries would be f .i in excess of the present contemplated expenditure. In so far as the south branch of the river is concerned the report stated that in order to comply with the law, and also to provide for shipping, the channel should be widened to 3u0 feet instead of 200.
