CHICAGO , Aug. 10. Trade In wheat wni
moderately nctlvo tpday. In corn and oats
It was llght.whllo , lu provision * the brokers
ensconced themselves In their capacious
nrm chairs and went comfortably to sleep.
Thu tendency of prices was downward , the
result of what was spoken of ns the less
favorably llrmnclnl outlook. Compared with
yesterday's closing prices wheat Is MO
lower , corn Is off } f e , and oats from > o to
Jjfc lower.
Wheat at the opening was about the same
ns yesterday's closing to } ( o higher , nnd
after numerous fluctuations prices fell le
for September , and from Ufa to llfo for December -
comber , reacted < c. closing llrm at about-
medium prices. Light receipts , uid the good
export business caused the temporary show
of strength at the opening , but cables were
flat nnd depressed , and Now York wired
that foreign buying orders wcrovory gen
erally withdrawn. Tlicro were pretty free
offerings during most of the session.
Exchange was again illfllcult to sell and
quoted at * 15 discount. Stocks In Now York
\vcro lower and weak and the Northern 1'a-
clfio receivership helped to depress the
market , Seine of those who started the
previous advntjco which commenced a week
ngowero throwing over tlicir loads today.
N. II. Ueam , Arthur Orr and Harry Champ-
Hn were among those who thus sold out.
Closing public cables showed slight ad
vances at Liverpool iiml Paris , and that
, brought some buying orders from the out
side which caused the market to close linn.
Tlicro was a little pressure to sell corn at
the ; opening , Ouo to reports of rain , particu
larly west of the Mississippi. The demand
was light and prices receded from J c to Jfc
moro marked on the deferred futures. Later
the mnrkot showed a little more steadiness
with lea's inclination to sell the near futures ,
being inlluonced to some extent by a good
Inquiry for the cash property , and prices
rallied from % o to HC. During the latter
part ol tlio session the fooling was easy and
prices settled back again from Jgo loic , nnd
closed steady.
With only a moderate trade In oats early a
Weak fooling prevailed , prices receding Jj'c ,
but reacted and closed at about the same
prices an yesterday. There was liberal buy
ing of September back by the shorts.
It was a case of almost perfect stagnation
In the speculative department of the provis
ion trade. Prices were high but there was
a general disposition to trade. The controll
ing forces made It dilllcult for any ono having
ingnn order to execute It. They had to dis
count the preceding quotation if they de
sired to sell and had to pay a premium If
they wanted to buy. Compared with the
closing prices of tbo day before , pork is
nominally 15c cheaper : lard fromBJ c to 5c
lower ; ribs unchanged to 5c higher.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
C > 5 cars ; corn , b 5 cars ; oats , 165 cars ; hogs ,
18,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows :

The appointment of receivers for the North
ern Vaclllc property hnel an advor'o Inllu-
cnco on the corporations , out the bears laid
even greater stress on the reports In circula
tion that the Chicago , Burlington Si Qulncy
directors nt thotr meeting today would reduce -
duce the dividend rate. On the strength of
this nil of the granger shares'as well as
sonio others , were taken In . the bear
nccount. Burlington fell oft 2 per
cent to 73 ; Hock Island , 3 per cent to
r > 5Jnnd the remainder of the list
j'loldodV to2 percent. The turnini ? point
cnmo when It was oniclally announced that
the directors of the Burlington had de
clared the usual quarterly dividend of l.if
per cont. 'J his was such a surprise that the
smaller bears rushed poll moll to cover.
General Klectrlo Bold up from ! l" to 4.Wo ,
the rlso being assisted by the dental of tlio
reports that some paper bearing tlio
company's endorsement had gone to protest.
Sugar nelvnnccd 3J per cent and Chicago

important changes otherwise were from J

tlio rally.
The Post says ; Coming as yestcrdav's
Juno statement of the Union Pacific did
along with the confession of the Northern
Pacific's Insolvency , with the reduction of
nearly DO per cent In the Great Northern's
monthly pay roll , und with a steady falling
off in currant gross receipts of other conti
nental roads , the question of the cause of
such trafllc losses becomes of paramount Im
portance. The trouble Is clearly not that of
a single district ; the Union Pacific figures
prove that. If the decrease of 8S per cent In
the Denver & Gulf division's ' earnings bo
attributed to Colorado's Individual collapse ,
some other reason must bo hnd for thu do-
crcaso of 60 per cent in the returns of the
Ore'gon Navigation company , far to the
northwest , or for the still heavier falling off
In those of the Union Paclllc system's
smaller lines , confined to Kansas and Ne
braska. The total shrinkage covers an
enormous nnd varied area nnd reflects a
paralysis of transportation from the granger
states to the Paclllc ocean.
The Immediate cause of this blockade will
not escapn observers of the market for
money nnd for Interior exchange. No doubt
the people of the west nro buying less east
ern merchandise than In 1892 ; but this ,
again , Is largely because they cannot com
mand the bank facilities to send their own
merchandise to market.
Kurope's sudden and heavy purchases of
grain have been supplied from the great city

WKPNE8DAT , Aug. 10.
There was a good average run of stocic of
nil kinds todayi Compared with the first
half of last week receipts for the past three
days show an increase of about ! 2,000 cattle
and 2,000 hogs with a falling off of some
2,500 sheep.
The cattle market was a rather uncertain
quantity today. Buyers said prices were
stronger , sellers said they were weaker , but
all agreed that trade was slow with no very
radical change In prices elthor way. Re
ceipts were very fair with natives and
rangers about "half and half. " As usual of
late the demand came almost entirely from
the dressed beef houses , nnd as supplies
so far this week have disappointed them
they have been fairly good buyers of cattle
that suited them. Thev paid from 4.05 to
$4.40 for fair to ver.V good 1,200 to 1,400-lb.
baovcs , and bought fair to choice 'MO ' to 1,200-
Ib. steers at from fll.OO to $4.10. Fair to poor
stuff moved rather 'slowly ' and generally at
easier prices from 'J3 to $3.00 , including a
good string of westerns at $3.25 and f3.30.
The movement while not at all brisk was
steady , and a compaYatlvely early clearance
was effected.
The cow markotSV/is / In very fair shape.
Good to choice cowWnnd heifers sold at from
$2.40 up to $3.25 , tavbilo common und can
ning cows went at , from $1.25 to ? 2.25.
Calves wore in gopd demand and sold
at from $2.25 to f-l'iir about steady pr'ces.
Fat bulls and oxen 'were a shade stronger ,
other grades dull. ' ' Prices ranged from $1.50
to $3.25. ' , 'a
There was n gboll elesreo of life and

Tiifc HKK.I Thuro were atioiit 1100 natives ,
2,000 Texas and 4,000 western Cattle hero to
day , making cl7.000 head all told. Tills Is a
material increase on recent supplies and
naturally n weaker feeling obtained. Good to
best grades of natives were saleable at about
yesterday's quotations thuro being n. good In
quiry for oustorn and foreign accounts but the
common to fair kinds hud to go at lower
prices. At the close the provalllng feeling
was weak , and should tomorrow's receipts
provohirgo a general decline could scarcely
bo averted ; Indued buyers were bidding lower
prices for prime cattle toward the close.
Common to fair grndos gbnorally sold from
lOc to 15c oil'and moved slowly. Natives
sold ut an extreme range of from tl to f5.23.
The bunch for which the oiitslcto llguro was
obtained were the bust , cattle seen hero for a
longtime and the prlco was the highest ruachud
since July 28. Most of the business was donu
at from 11.76 to S4.05 for natives , at from Ja.GO
to S3.00 for wustorn rangers and at from J2 to
t3 for iTuMins. There WHS nothing doing in
Ntockors and feeders. Culvos were wanted at
from $2 too$6.50.
There were much fewer arrivals of hogs
today , but that fact did not check the upward
couibo of prices , llnyors were out early and
competition was sharp , so sharp that un ad-
vaneo of from 16c to 25c resulted. Puckers
bought right and It ft and as there was also a
good demand for eastern accounts It did not
take salesmen long to got rid of tholr hold
ings. Late uulos wore not qulto us good as
those made early In the day , but bailers were
well pleased with the results. The best heavy
liOKS s > old around $5.00 , cholco medium weights
ns high as from J5.80 to $0.85 and funcy light
at from SG.25 to JG.30. The quality was good
and scarcely anything sold below $6.40 , from
J6.45 to 45.80 nehiK the popular prices for
averages of ever 200 Ibs. The receipts were
estimated at 18,000 head , making 5'J.OOO for
the wcok so far or 24,500 head moro than for
the same time lust wcok.
The sheen market was very flat. Under
such recolpts as wo have had this week noth
ing bolter was to bo expected. A supply of
45,000 head in the space of three days is a
heavier load than the markut could bo expected -
pocted to stand up under at any stage of the
season. At present , with practically no demand -
mand for shipment , a material decline was
Inuvltuulo. Hlrico Saturday there has been a
shrinkage of from 20c to 40c per 100 Ibs. In
sheep and the decline in lambs amounts to
fully OOu. The former tire off to from 91.20 to
$4.20 for Inferior to extra , und the latter arc
now quoted at $2.75 to $5.25. Hales of sheep
were largely at from $2.50 to J3.0 and the
bulk of lambs sold below i5.20.

stand. Allison called to Mntlock to
surrender. The hitter's reply was to
slip behind his horse , throw a rifle
ever his saddle and lire on the oilicors.
The latter promptly returned the lire ,
nnd at the lirst volley Matloek fell , shot
in the stomach. Brown attempted to
swim his horse to the opposite bank
amid a shower of bullets , but his horse
was killed aid Brown was carried down
the stream by a current out of range ,
and when last seen was heading for the
boundary across the hills. Matloek was
taken to Jamieson's ranch and a doctor
sent for to Fairview , thirty-five iniles
away. Ho may recover , but it is
doubtful.

FRENCH COLONIES.
The f ! : > ul HII Securotl 1II Hlinro of the

The French are not generally regarded
as a colonizing nation. They scorn to
lack the pushing and aggressive spirit
that animates lingland , Germany and
Russia , and it is true that the spirit does
not exist among the people as a whole.
But the French government lias always
been ambitious ot territorial extension ,
and it has taken care that in the divis
ion of Africa and southern Asia Franco
should got her share.
The colonies and protectorates of
Franco , with their area and population ,
are given as follows :
