The following resume of the wheat market is surnished by k. A. Bresse, srainbroker, 412 Pine street: Produce Exchange Chicago. Liverpool cables quoted wheat price %3d lower at the opening. Paris—Flour was 20 centims lower, with wheat about steady at yesterday’s prices. At the opening this morning September wheat sold at 66%c. Good buying by local shorts ad- vanced the market to 6€5gc. Before the dewand was satisfied the market began & mogging ten- dency, which continued until the close ~This showed a loss of lc from the top price of the da Considerable long wheat was sold out during the session for parties who expect to buy again at con- cessions. Conditions sbroad were reported improving. Weather in England cioudy. Fine weather was reported throughout France. Cargoes off coast, nothing dolng: on passage, firm. White wheat easy. Red wheat qniet. Cal- ifornis, 51s sellers. Harvesting of winter wheat is going on under the most favorable circum- siances. The quality is of the finest. 1: Is claimed that nothing to equal it has been harvested dur- ing the past ten years. Interlor mll ers are free buyers, causing eievator and warehouse men to bid upin order to secure the grain. St. Louis wired tnat Oaklahoma was offering new wheat liberally, making an easier feeling in their market. New York advised that exporters had large limit orders, which could be executed with s further slight decline. Baltimore reported 100,000 bushels taken for exportio-day. The Government report for June will be made pubiic to-morrow. The report will probably show no decline from that issued June 10, which made the crop 515,000,000 bushels, which s much less than reported by private authorities. WHEAT MOVEMENTS. Recelpts.

At the advance Lolders began realizing, causiug a break to 27c ai the close. December ranged about 1c premium over Septem- ber. May longs preferred to unioad over the Gov- ernment report, due to-morrow, which may be considered bearish. As Lbis report is mude up Lo July 1, and the most serlous damage to corn has taken piace since that date, the report may be misleading in this respect- Missour: and Kansas continue to report serious damage. Many fields have passed beyond re- demption. Southern Iilinois bas joined the ranks of crop-damaged sections. Those well posted in Corn conditions claim that not over a haif c10p is pos ibe. Too many obstacles have appeared. First of ail Corn w»s put 10to the ground from four 1o 8ix wee.s late: second, exireme heat overtook the crop before it had grown sufliciently 10 over- throw ordinarily harmful co:ditions. The ab- sence of moisture is another source of alarm, and las: of all comes a likeiihood of frosi overtaking the crop bofore matured. Generally Corn is out ofthe way of frosts by September 20. The crop tuls year being Iate will carry maturing well into October. B-iore tha. t.me heavy frosts are almost certan. Lighter frosts & little eurijer would not be injurious, They would rather assist the pro- cess of maturing. There s fully as much interest centered In the Corn trade now as thers isin Wheat.

A British Colonel Objects to Hearing “The Washington Post March.” A curious incidect occurred last week at a dinner given by the officers of the Royal Artillery, stationed at Freshwater. The band of one of the companies at the station performed during the evening, and in due course received a message from their colonel, who was at the dinner, to play “God Save the Queen” and depart. Before they did so the bandmaster was called into the messroom and thanked for the periormance he had given, when some of the officers present asked for *“The Washington Post.” The bandmaster pro- ceeded to give the composition in que tion, when the colonel suddenly appeared among the musicians, evidently in high dudgeon, and ordered them to stop and ‘“clear out.”’” Explanations were offered and rejected, and the band broke off in the middle of their performance and left without playing ““The Queen.” It is con- jectured that the colonel has a strong anti-American bias, and that the strains of “The Washington Post’’ upset him, vet even at that his conduct seems a little difficult to excuse. . He Kept His Seat. During one of the naval engazements o the late war a sailor by the name of John Davis performed an act of bravery that has rarely been equaled. While the Cattle was atits heightashell entered the Valley City, of which ship Davis was gunner’s mate, and exploded on the berth deck, setting it on fire. Captain Chsplin, the commander of the vessel, jumped down into the magazine, and while directing 1is men to exiingunish the flames, passed up with his own hands the loose cyclinders of powder. The fire- works on board became ignited. Rockets whizzed and blue lights blazed up in the very midst of the aumunition. The shell- room caught fire and it seemed asif the Val ey City must be blown to pieces. Jonn Davis, appreciating the danger and desirous of doing all in his power to avert it, jumped up on an open barrel of gunpowder and sat down on the head, covering it with his person as weil as he could to protect it from the showering sparks. Captain Chapiin, seeing bim quietly seated while everybody else was at work, ordered him in peremptory tones to ‘‘get down and help put out the fire.”” The voung gunner’s mate stayed where he was and calmly replied: “Don’t you see, sir, I can’t? For if I do the sparks will fali into the powder. Ii I get down, captain, we shall all go up!” Notwithstanding the terrible danger Captain Chaplin could not repress a smile, and Davis’ heroic action was re- warded after the battle by immediate promotion.—Youth’s Companion. e e THE CALL CALENDAR.
