CIIICAOO , 111. , May 24.-Plunging on a heavy
kcalo was Iho feature on'change today. The
volume of business was the greatest since the
May delivery day. Compared with last night ,
however , the closing prices for grain nro not
grcntly altered , Wheat Is off from Ucto'ic ;
cornMiows Jjc Itnprovcnicnt ; provisions , tin-
4Ho ( grain , Mumped hndly nnd failed to rally.
With line nnd In Ight weather on both con
tinents , better crop ndvlccs from all quarters ,
Haltering olllclal bulletins from Washington
and fprltnflnld , and great movement of stuff
to pi Unary markets , July wheat broke over Ic
to the low point on the crop al72fo. ? At this
Juncture commission houses rushed in to liny
on Investment order ? , nnd Charley Wright and
Charley Singer nero purchasers on the break
to the extent of perhaps 1,000,000 bu. each.
llraditrcol's report showed a decrease in
stocks of 2,500,000 bu , cast , nnd a decrease of
275,000 bu. west of the llocky mountains , nnd
helped to strengthen the feeling. The Atlantic
ports nnd Now Orleans cleared nearly 700,000
in wheat and flour. An American ofllclal nt
Constantinople cabled that Uiisslan crop pros
pects lire very bad. The opening was about
c lower than yesterday's closli a , and with
Might fluctuations prices were further reduced -
duced ? c , then tulcd stronger and the decline
was n break In the prices advancing from ? < c
to J c , eased off from He to So lower for July
nmHic ! lower for September than yesterday's
M. "
Corn wns weak at the start , duo largely to
the action of wheat and the lllicral receipts.
The crowd accordingly sold , Ili t tiades being
ul Kc drclliu1 , and under this selling pre.ssuio
of ! nn\i'i \ : toVC more. At the dorllno there
wns a good deal of ijuliit buying by both re-
rrlvcr.s and shippers and the cio\\d In trying
topot buck tholr early sales put the mnrlvi'i.
up from We to fie. after which thu price held
Htrady and at the close had gained from Uu to
S * *
The estimates for tomorrow were qulto llb-
rrul lit 4H5 oars , but did not have ns much ef
fect as on yesterday , us the cash demand at
the iccliii'tlon In price appeared to bo much
better. The fact that some of the largo shorts
revered their lines Reamed to glvo courage to
many operators , as aKo did tlio fact that the
iHTernics of the nearby futures were particu
larly light.
Tno feature of the oats market was the
hpruadlng In the near futures , duo In the light
offerings and the buying by shorts. Trades In
May are fairly evened up and It Is dllllcult to
buy wltlioutairocting thu prices.
Them was moderato buy Ing of Juno rxnd soilIng -
Ing of , Inly , making the latter rather weak.
Tno cloo was strong , with coi n compared with
hist night's prices up Uc.

celling orders alHraf'SOcpor ' lib ! , Hlbs and lard

YviterdayVa Another Quiet Day In
Aiurrlrnn Heaurltle * .
NKW YOIIK , May 24 , This was another
quiet day at the .Stock exchange , The market
opened quiet In sympathy with London , but
the decline there was attributed to specula
tion fiom thU side. The loss was from ! i to
1 pur cent In the general list , anil In bomn of
the specialties was from 1 to 4'por cent. Oon-
erul Klectrlc was on * Hi per cent to 74'i , Laka
Shorol ? per cent , , to 121f } , Hock Island IK
per tout to 71 and lllchmonrt Tormlnal 1'i unr
cent to 4f ! , ( ho lowest price at which the last
named ever has over sold. An advance of j ;
toliipcr cent afterwards took place under
the leadership of Hugar , DUtlllem , Tennessee
Coal und Iron und Cordage.
During the afternoon a fresh attack was
made on Klectrlo which touched 72U , a de
cline of 3y per cent from last night x close.
ThU iniiumeiit had comparatively little elTect
111011 the market oiitsldo of ManlnUtan which
dropped 13i per cent to 128U and Distillers
which rvuctou lu per cent from the highest.
Ar llyof x to l > i uorceut followed lu General
Electric. The unaxprntrdly ti\Tnr tlo
st.toncnt of the ChlaftRO , Mllwau-
kco and St. Paul for the third
week In May stimulated purchases of the
crangcrs , but the advance was checked by the
announcement of other failures In mer
cantile circles The market closed steady In
tone.
Thn Post , ay : Taken as a work of con
structive finance the Richmond Terminal re
organization plan may fairly bo called an
epoch-making document. It announces un
hesitatingly that It has to anal with n com
plete wreck. It practically recognized the
present and future worthlessncss from u
profit-earning standpoint of the common
stock. It proposes to sraln down the debt
nearly 100,000 , nnd as fully one-fourth of this
reduction lies in the settlement of floating
obligations It lays upon the shareholder ! ) the
burden of raising the requisite now capital.
Not least Important of all. It reimburses such
assessment In the now stock and not In tlio so-
called income bonds , which the experience
both of Heading nnd of Atchlson has proved to
bo the delusion of subscribers and the nlght-
mare of llnanclal managers. In short , what
the Illchmond Terminal rcorganlzors undertake
taketo do Is virtually to form a now company
with capital enough to buy up at a price and
on certain plain conditions what Is left of the
value of the railway system.

Cattle Unsteady to Lower Ilojt Ilrpak
ISattly Under Heavy Itocelpti.
WEDNESDAY , May 24.
Receipts of all kinds of stock wore llberil
today. The supply for the Qrat half of the
week , compared vrlth receipts for the same
three days last week showing an Increase of
about 1,000 cattle , 0,200 hogs and 300 sheep ,
Under ordinary circumstances the supply of
cattle would hardly be considered heavy , but
with the market , as at present , nervous and
unsettled , 2,000 cuttle were u few too many ,
Dreitscd beef men were only wanting mod
erate supplies and the speculative in
quiry was not ut all brisk on account of
the unsatisfactory conditions prevailing at
custom markets. Uuslness was slow from the
start with priced ( in an average about lOu
lower than Tuesday , Hales included poor
rough to cholcu 1,220 to 1,6'24-lb. bcovcs at
from 14.20 tot5.lt , with fair to cholca 020 to

Hoofl Receipts today were the heaviest so
far this year , In fact the heaviest In nearly
eleven months. On July 0. 1802. 11,002 hogs
woio received , and the 0,000 mark has not
been passed from that day to this. The ofll-
clal figures today show 102 cars , 10,030 head ,
received , or a little less than half as many as
wore received all last week.
The market broke badly. Karly sales wcro
20c to 30c lower than Tuesday , while some of
the late sales were made at a decline of 30u to
40c from Tuesday's average prices. Theio
was only a limited demand from ship
pers. The fresh meat men's require
ments were as usual of lute rather
light , HO that practically sellers were
at the tender mercy of the packers. The re
sult was the worst break in prices the market
has experienced since the yards were opened
for business. The best hogs of all weights sold
early at 87 up to J7.15 , Packers held aloof
and bid JG.OO to 47. Trade was slow nnd
after urgent orders had been filled the market
Ihittoncd out completely. Fully sixty loads
were carried over for the afternoon market ,
and , although on account of a better shipping
demand thuro was some trading after dinner
It was on the basis of $0.80 to $0.00 for good to
cholco hogs or fully 40c lower than Tuesday.
About 2,000 hogs wcro loft in the pens ut the
close. The big bulk of the trading was at from
$0.00 to $7.00 as against $7.20 to $7.30 Tuesday ,
and $7.30 to $7.40 one week ago. Representa

iirrlvals wore estimated as high as 20,000
Head , and buyers bid fiom lOc to 16c lower.
Tnoy bought some cattle that way early In
'ho day , but toward noon they woto more
Ibcrul In their vlnws. It was discovered that
ho receipts would not c.\ceed 17,000 , and then
mylng bucamo moro free with the result that
the market worked Into u ( inner position.
There wcrn about 1,500 stlllcrs and something
'Iko 4,000 To.Mins. Quotations n ere from SI.05
o $0.10 for natives and from $2 to { 4.85 for
Tovans.
The hog market declined from IGc to 20c
soon after trading began , dropping to from
$7.25 to $7.65 for common to best light
weights , nnd to fiom $7.30 to $7.00 for droves
averaging over UOO pounds. The latter tradIng -
Ing did not develop inoio strength than pre
vailed early In the dajvthough It was fairly
active. Tlm arrivals did not exceed expecta
tions , nor was thrro any other nppaicnt cause
for so abrupt "down turn , " but when tno
clique deems It c.vpcdlont to put down prices
It does not wait for reasons. Kowof the offerIngs -
Ings sold above $7.00 , and nothing reached a
bettor figure than $7.70. From $7.45 to $7.00
bought the malar part , of the 33,000 head on
sale , light medium and heavy all selling very
close together. The quality , though was not
so good as for Tuesday , was better than Is
usual for the season.
The sheep maiket was onsy at about yester
day's closing quotations or nt a .slight re
duction from that duy'K opening prices ,
l.amlxs wcro firm and higher , the supply being
small and the demand active. Shorn yearlings
sold ashlghustG.37'5 and some very ordlnaiy
lots changed hands around $5.75. Quotations
ranged from $3.60 to $5.00 for poor to cholco
shorn sheen , and from $5 to $0.40 for shorn

Nclio Murclor Tilul Nonrly Cloned ,
OTTUMWA , la. , May 24. [ Special Telegram
to Tun BEK. ] The state rested its case In
the Nolso murder trial today , after putting
the defendant's attorney on the statul to
show that Nelso was paying Ilattlo Fanlz's
board nnd that the present arrangement for
providing for the children was Nctso's.
Lows Lei > akl and others rendered Impor
tant "testimony showing that Nelso had
abused his wife. The most graphic feature
of the trial was Harry Noise's testimony
when ho related hoivjhls 4-year-old brother ,
Adolph , had told the life insurance man how
his father had killed his mother. Harry ex
plained to the jury that Adolph had gone
through the process of lighting u p.ipcr ,
holding it to the eyes of the Insurance man ,
taking a strap and beating his mother and
giving the exact position of his mother as
she was found and as she fell when Adolph
said his father struck her.
Adolph said that ho saw the tragedy
through the door and that his father had a
butcher knlfo in his hand covered witli
blood and getting scared ho went b.u-lc to
bed. if the boy did not actually see this ,
it will bo hard for the iury to conceive how
ho could originate such a story. The de
fense has summoned fifty witnesses and will
endeavor to impeach as much of the evidence
of tlio state as possible.
Dealt In Hocus
Dns Moi.vns , la. , May 21. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun Bui ! . ] K. A. VaiiAiiKlebeek
was found guilty today of using the mails to
defraud in connection with the sale of bogus
diplomas. The jury was out sovcn hours.
VanAnglobcclc came to the United States
little more than a year ago * from Holland.
After spending some time in Chicago
ho went to Pclla , In this state ,
and began extensive operations as a diploma
dealer in connection with what was called
the "National University of Illinois" and an
international professors association. Ho
sold diplomas to a number of parties in
eastern states , or at least received
niouoy for diplomas which ha offered
for sale. The evidence pivon by
these parties showed tnat ho never >
delivered the bogus poods but quic-ldy pock
eted tlio proceeds. An attempt was made
to elear him on the theory that ho was
simply acting as the agent for the Chftago
concern but this failed as it was shown that
VanAnglcbeck had no connection with that
institution and hail never remitted any
money to it. VanAiiglebeck will bo sen
tenced tomorrow.
