for Same Period.
..
Among: the principal grain housr there Is
an Identical opinion expressed regarding the
tv heat crop now being harvested. The pro-
longd hot, dry weather has knocked esti
mate made while the crop was growing,
but to what extent none of them Is inclined
to .say.
One of. the leading' .exporters said yester
day that while his house keeps in close touch
with conditions In the great wheat-producing
districta he considered it too early to esti
mate the crop this season until harvest la
further advanced, and contented himself by
saying In a general way that we are to have
' plenty of wheat.
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. received their
first car of new-crop wheat , yesterday from
Curry, in the Big Bend country.
In the Board of Trade records of receipts
the arrivals of grain during the past week
were: Wheat, 31 care, 2SfW Backs; barley,
4 cars, 152 sacks; oats. 8 cars, 721 Backs; hay,
li3 cars. bVti bales.
Aa to other grains the same comment la
made, that the weather condition's upset
previous calculations. Barley la said to
promise a lighter yield than average, but
there is enough added acreage to bring up
the total yield to about normal. There Is
said to be mote feed barley, causing a smaller
average of brewing than last year.
No change was made in eaMi quotations
during the week just closed, and Hrokers on
the Board of Trade kept pretty well aloof
from bids that might result In closing deals.
Wolf reports from Spokane that estimates
made there place the crop for the three states
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho at 48,500,-.
H0 bushels divided as follows: Oregon, 12,
M:o,00O; Washington, 20,000.000, and Idaho,
7,OW,M.K.
The Duluth Daily Commercial Record com
ments on the relation between visible supply
and price as follows:
A remarkable feature of last year's wheat
history was the steady decline in prices as
the visible kept decreasing. The lowest point
of the year, cents, was made on August
2," and this following a decline from Oft cents
for September wheat made In May. On June
1 September wheat In Chicago was selling at
82 1 i cents, on July 1 70Si, and on August 1
ti4lS cents.
BROKERS ADVANCE OPTIONS. f
Wheat. Futures iain Two Cents and Out
Two and a Half Cents.
No feature of unusual moment attended
the 'meetings of the trades represented at
the Board of Trado yesterday. At grain call
September wheat moved up 2 cents to S3,
but December remained stationary at 84.
Oats, September delivery, advanced &Vi
emus and the latpr option was unchanged.
Barley was strong for both months. Sep
tember 'closing at $1.10 and December at
$1.12 Is.

LARGEST TRADE IX FRUITS.
Wholesalers Say Mote Was Disposed of Last
Week Than Ever.
The week just closed was marked by the
heaviest, trade in fruits known before In
the same period on Front street, according
to the opinion of the heavier commission
houses and brokers. At the close of the
week storks of car.aloupcs. peaches, 'cherries
and other leaders were run down to a re
markable extent. The crop of cherries fell
under that of last year somewhat, but the
quality of the fruit could not be improved
upon. What in previous years would have
been considered overstock of fruit Is now
cleaned up so rapidly by the retail trade
as to keep the commission men' in a quan
dary as to how much this market really re
quires. The Dalles fruits show some Im
provement ln condition in the later ship'-
ments of the week. On some lines of which
there were rather better supplies prices
were shaded toward the close of business
yesterday, but as a rule good prices were ob
tained all the week-

STOCK TRADERS FEARFUL
Wall Street Manipulated' Mildly
Over Report That Candidate , Re
iterates Roosevelt's Policies . "
Concerning Corporations,
NEW TOPK, July 25. The course of crices
of Mocks today was ascribed to interpreta
tion placed on . Judge -Taft's speech of ac
ceptance of tbe 'nomlnaon fSr President, of
which advancer copiea have been distributed.
Claims of a knowledge1 of the contents in
speeches - were made the basij. for . published
comments whloh were circulated in the finan
cial district- previous to the, opening of the
stock market. .- . S
Ttere was- some selting at ther outset on
the negation that " the Roosevelt policies
were reiterated by the candidate. A sub
stantial .demand developed at the decline and
a' Jnaterlal' recovery - followed. Professed
ground for the buying was Mre rlaim that th,
speech' of -acceptance - would be found satisfactory-tCr.
the financial world.
There" was a renewal of the feeling of pro
tection for legal rights of corporations which
made' its influence felt with, the announce
ment of the .-decision of-4he Appeals Court
In the case -involving the Standard Oil .fine. 1
There was ljttle in the day's news to in
dicate any change in general conditions. The
grain marketa reflected cowtentment with the
crop news.- -Fresh aasuranoe of the plenti
tude of money supplies was derived from the
action of the money market. Money brokers
express the view that tbe harder tone of
time money will scarcely hold in the face
of the 1 per cent rate for call money.
There have been large sales of commercial
bills In the foreign market during the pnst
week in anticipation of the coming crop
movement and a balance is thus promised
against the outgo of currency to the Interior
which will soon set In. -
The advance in - prloes became compre
hensive and strong and the net price changes
resulting in the short session represent an
almost complete 'recovery of the decline .of
yesterday. .
The bank statement showed indicated cash
gaina in the report of actual conditions, al
though it figures for only about half the
amount In the averages. -' Toe surplus- was

NEW YORK, July 25. The Financier wt.1
LAst week's official statement of the New
York Associated Banks shews gainr in casa!
and in surplus reserve as was foreshadowed
by "the preliminary estimates which nera
based upon the" traceable movements of
money during the week.- The actual increase
in cash was, however, z,svu,wv greater hih-.ii
that which, was disclosed, by- the statement
of averages though less by about f 3,0jDO;O0O
than the estimated gain. .
Of the Increase of $9,861,900 actual cash,
only one-third camfe from tire interior and
this proportion was from neai-by points,, in
dicating that country banks are experienc
ing an increased demana irom meir rorr'
spondents for crop distribution purposes, the
remaining two-thirds of the'caslf increase
was due to ' subtreasury disbursements In
excess of receipts, reflecting a continued
growth of the treasury deficit.
The actual reserva of the Danits increase!
$6,487,425 to $58,401,725; the average gain
in reserve was $3,787,850 to $o3.oi0,o.'
Computed upon the basis of deposits, less
those of public funds, the reserve shown, on
Saturday was $G0.7 18,750, or only about
$12,000,000 less titan the maximum, which
was a comparatively slight cnange m tne
holdings oj- cash, or of deposits by. the etate
banks or trust v companies ; loans of the
associated banks were expanded ? J.ouU.vw
and deposits $13,500,000. s
These institutions now noia 2.4T per ceni
of cash reserve against their deposits; state
banks 29.92, and trust companies 33.29 per

Best grades of butter will be 3 cents higher
on Monday in this market. Select stock
was raised, to 28 cents late this afternoon.
Other grades, . Including Eastern stock, will
be shoved iip 1 cent. The advance is due
wholly to the heavy shrinkage In cream both

this week has been heavier than for all the
rest of the month put together. -
-Eggs were more plentiful today. Receipts
were heavier than in weeka Prices were
unchangd. -
Just two veals arrived today; outslda of
six that arrived last night this was all the
supply- available today. Sealers had..?, no
difficulty in obtaining 11 cents.

districts of Eastern Washington convey, the
information that -th. crop will ba light this
year. -
. Berries of all kinds were scarce today
under an active ' demand. No. berries--are
left on- the market tonight:

AVealtliy Retired Real Estate Deal-
i: er of New Haven Elopes to
V" .- , Xew York.
TEW' YORK, July 25. Recovered
f roma stroke of apoplexy, Burr S.
Peck, 77 years old, a wealthy retired
real estate dealer of New Haven, eloped
to this city and married, at the City
Hall, Miss May, Bryan, a pretty miss
who looked only about 16 years of the
22 she claimed to be. Alderman Gold-,
scmidt of the Twenty-seventh Assem
bly District united the ill-assorted
palf. v Peck buried his first wife a few
months ago. . v
Trouble began to accumulate for the
happy, couple almost before the nuptial
knot was tied. As soon as Mrs.. Sarah
Peck, . motjier of the bridegroom, and
aged 95 years, heard about it she said
she would take steps to have her young
son's marriage annulled.. .
Leaning on the arm of his prospec
tive bride, who was attied in a Sum
mer gown and who looked as if she
should be rolling a hoop Instead of re
lieving -a man of his name, . the ven
erable looking old fellow entered the
City Hall and proceeded to -the mar
riage license bureau. The furrows In
his cheeks and his snowy hair were in
striking contrast to' the sprightly dam
sel who tripped beside him. -' ,
"Makes : a -nice picture," said one of
the corridor loungers. "I always lika
to -ee a kid leading lrer grandfather
like that." fc
' I want to get a marriage license,"
said the old man, feebly, to Clerk
Scully. . -
, "He'll have to come and get It him
self," replied the clerk, looking at the
smiling young woman and thinking
her grandfather had come to get the
essential document for her . sweetheart.
, "There's no he,"- said- the old man.
petulantly. "I'm thene, and I'm going
to marry this charming little lady."
"Do you mean it?" queried Scully.
"Certainly I mean it," was the re
sponse. . v
Miss Bryan,' the. meanwhile blushed
and smiled r effusively; and laughed as
though in high good humor.
Mr. Peck gave his name .in full, and
said1 that he had been born In Bethany,
Conn.; that, his - father's name was
Frederick and his mother's maiden
name Sarah Spier. Miss Bryan said her
fathers name was James '.and her
mother's maiden name May Rian, afTd
that she lived in. New Haven. c
"Are you- - going to getf married?'
asked the Clerk again, before admin
1 Istering the usual affidavit.
."Surely, at the Little Church Around
the Corner, was Mr. Peck's reply.
. Instead of proceeding directly to the
Little Church Around the Corner, the
couple, who were joined in the hall by
two well-dressed women, went down
stair's to the little room set aside for
the performance of marriage cere
monies. There they again gave their
pedigree, and the two women with them
said that they were Mrs. S. Myer and
Mrs. Augustus Johnson. Alderman Gold
schmtdt again questioned them before
performing the ceremony..
"Do you want to marry this man?"
he asked Miss Bryan.
"I - .do," was the the reply, with
another broad smile.
"Do you want to marry this, wo
man?" .
"I do " said tbe bridegroom-elect
Tou know what .you are doing?"
"Surely," said Miss Bryan,
"And you?" .
"1 know what I am doing, was
Peck's reply-
After the ceremony an effort was
made to get the.coople to talk, but Mr.
Peck objected and the attempt failed.
. "You're a reporter," -said Mr.Hpeck,
with some display of excitement; now,
we don't want any of this to get in
the papers. We don't want anybody else
to know anything about it, at least not
yet. Nothing of It must be printed. Re
member, nothing must be printed.',
TEST BALDWIN BALLOON
Army Officials Make InspecMon of
Xew Airship. '
WASHINGTON, July 25. Frank P,
Lahm, the leadlns; aeronaut of the.
Army, today Inspected the various Darts
of the Baldwin airship, which arrived
at Fort Myer on Saturday, and will sub
mit his report to General Allen, chief
sigrnal officer of r the Army, probably
to-morrow. This Inspection Is for the
purpose of determining: whether Cap
tain Baldwin's craft fulfills all the re
quirements with regard to strength,
weight and stability. Captain Baldwin
is confident that his machine will more
than meet the requirements, and Gen
eral Allen and- the other Signal Corps
officers seem to be of like opinion
Lieutenant Lahm made an inspection
of the gas bag and other parts while
in course of manufacture at Hammonds
port, N. Y., last month, and his report
proved satisfactory to the chief signal
officer. The specifications for a dirigi
ble balloon published by the War De
partment resulted in Captain Baldwin
'being selected" as the successful bidder.
They embody the very latest features
of successful dirigible balloons In this
country and abroad, and, while the re
quirements are severe, the specifica
tions are drawn up with all fairness
tot the inventors. A preliminary draft
o-the specifications which had been
prepared in the Signal Corps office,
was sent - to . the leading aeronauts
