Heavy Exports of Wheat Tailed to Prevent
a Decline.
VERY SMALL RECEIPTS OF THAT CEREAL
Corn Mnrkot Opnnod Knther firm nt the
doling Trices of Wcclnfmlay and
nti Improvement U'ln
Bhortlr Scored.
CitiCAtio , Aug. 17. Although who.it Is
going out of the country at a rate which , if
kept ut > , will leave it a scarce article hero ,
the price Is > < o lower than yesterday. He-
ports of failures cast nnd west , more clearIng -
Ing house certificates Issued at Now York
cables combined
and very discouraging closing
bined to depress tlio market. Corn is a
nhndo higher and provisions nro irregular j
lower for lard.
Wheat at the opening was from Jfe to {
lower than yesterday's ' closing , ruled easy
nnd prices furlhor declined from } { c to % o ,
then got stronger and advanced Ic , again
ruled weak nnd this tlmo declined c , nnd
the closing was easy at from o to % e from
Inside figures.
The early weakness wan duo to' the dull
ness hi trade , the continued weakness In
locks and the fooling of unrest nnd uu-
certainty in financial circles. There was
considerable wheat for sale , with lltllo do-
mnnd , but the local receipts were small , ff
cars , against 6T7 cars n year ngo today , nnd
the exports were unusually largo , which
caused some reaction in sentiment ,
nnd early sellers' tried to got back
their wheat. When the final returns were
in , showing yesterday's ' exports to bo nearly
1SOO,000 bu. In wheat nnd flour , making
over 2,000,000 bu. during the last forty-eight
hours , there was a season of sharp buying ,
which soon sent prices up Ic. But the mar
ket soon eased off on frco realizing , and
weakened rapidly on statement * that the
banks were calling In loans , and on the wide
circulation of other disquieting reports.
The Cincinnati Price Current reported
that late rains have helped the corn In Iowa
and Nebraska. Outside of Unit district the
condition had not Improved , and in some ol
the dry districts the crop was being "Jlred. "
But tlio trade was not much affected. The
market opened rather firm at tbo closing
prices of yesterday , and an'iniprovcmcnt of
j ! c was shown. Later the , feeling was not
so 11 nil and prices solllcd back again from
J c to Jfc , and closed comparatively steady.
In oats traders were Inclined to follow the
action of other grains. The price changes
were frequent within J e range and the
close was at about tbo lowest point.
There was no more life In the provision
market today than yesterday. The absence
of money for operations is the cause given.
Pork Is unchanged for September , but nom
inally ' ( ) c lower for October. September
lard Is 7Kc lower and September ribs 7J o
higher. Thcro were 23,000 hogs received
and the market was from lOo to S0o ! lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
05 cars ; corn , 270 cars ; oats , 2'.H ) cars ; hogs ,
18.000 head.

Movement * of Sccurlttci Were of rillglil
Iiuporlniifo VoKteriUy.
NEW YOIIK , Aug. 17. The movements on
tbo Stock exchange today wero'of slight 1m
portunco us Is evidenced by the transaction !
which reached only about one-half of ycstor
day's small total. The doalliigs In listed nnd
unlisted stocks footed up 110,70'J shares nud
were coullncd almost entirely to the trading
element In the board , There was scarcelj
any business for outsldo account , nnd tin
commission houses are not encouraging spec
ulutlvo operations , owing to the dlfllculty o :
scouring tlmo loan accommodations.
The business troubles at the wosl and tin
unfavorable rciwrls from the MIssuri Pa
citlu and the St. I'aul roads for the sccotu
week of August , the former showing a do
create of carnluts of (201,000 and the lattei
a decrease of f U3.1UO , alio helped the de
clino. With n vlow of ndillnp to the unensy
feelings gomo stocks rrcro sold on sellers'
options at prices from t to 3 points below the
quotations current nnd even thcso were
attacked , Despite all this , however , there
wns comparatively llttlo selling for the long
nccount. General Ulectrlo declined Hf } per
cent nnd Manhattan SJtf for cent , but the
remainder ot the list yielded only to ! i per
cunt. Flnnl quotations were from H lo K
per cent above Iho lowest. Distilling nnd
C.ittlcfccdlng was advanced 2 % per cent to
20 early In the day on reports lhat congress
would probably ralso the lax on distilled
spirits , hut later fell back to 18. ftot n
single stock un the list wns traded In to the
extent of 20,000 , nnd In only three Instances
did the transactions exceed 10,000 shares. -
The Post says : Nearly W.OOO.OOO . gold
cnmo In by lodny's Kuropenn sleiunor , the
consignees being no less than sixteen in
number. This has been ono of the remark-
nhlo features In the present speclo Import
movement that the Ixnidon engagements
have as to their allotment here been so
widely distributed. The result nppoars to
bo Hint the banks Importing gold under
order hold their consignment ns intnct ns
though it wns merchandise or grain and
that the speculative Importers sell their
rold nt once In the open market. This Is for
us n thoroughly abnormal situation nnd
sots nil reasonable calculation regarding
the effect of Importations on our city bank
reserves nt defiance. Kvcn In the fnco
of today's gold arrivals there was n
further issue of clearing house certificates
hero and In Uoston , Meantime , Chicago
dispatches report Ihnt the direct cold en
gagements from Kuroio ] for thnt clly al
ready nggregaio * 0,000,000 , This properly
shifts ou Iho Chicago banks the responsibility
of moving the far Interior grain crop. That n
result not1 wholly dissimilar must como
about in finances In moving the southern
cation crop seems highly probable. The
pressure from that quarter hns this week
become extreme.

was comparatively smnll , as of the 109 cars
received 4'J were western and southern cattle -
tlo cither billed through for slop feedIng -
Ing or Olrcct to local slaughterers. The
majority of the cattle offered were
wcslerns and very largely on the Iccdor
order. Fat cattle sold very generally Iti
Wednesday's notches. Condlllons were
practically the same. Good 1,200 to 1,800-lD.
dry fed natives mot with a ready sale nt
from $3.03 to $4.35 whtlo fair to very good
850 to 1,150-lb. steers sold at from 83.50 to
$3.83 with common and Inferior stock at
around &l.2'i and $3.60. Good western cattle
sold at fully steady prices , but the under
grades were hard lo moro and lower. Fail-

the way from $ i.C5 ! to $3.05 with rough and
thin tailings around " (3 to $2.50.

Hoas An advance of 25c to .15c in thro (
days brought out the hogs today , and a gooi
share of the advance' was lost. An oven 1W
cars were received , or within UOO head 01
the heaviest run in over two months. Sell
era were prepared to shade prices on ac
count of the heavy run bcro and bad report !
from Chicago , but as the proportion of Hghl
hogs wus not largo and the uoraand
very active for Iheso grades prices wen
fairly well suslaincd , ranging from $ :
up to J5.40 for fair to very prime assortcil
stuff. Outside of the local packers there
was a very limited demand for heavy hogs
nnd they experienced lltllo dlflluulty in fill
ing their orders at prices lOo to 'Ms lowci
than Wednesday. The ponular price
was $4.00 , with the extreme range foi
"straight , " heavy loads from tfl.80 lo $ T >
There was a good doul of sorting after Hghl
hogs and throwing out heavies. Thesi
tbrowouls sold largely down around Sf.li !
and $4.75. Business was dull throughout
and the close wus very mean , with some
thing like 1,500 hogs still in first hands. Tin
bulk of the trading was at from $4.00 t <

CHICAGO , AUR. 17. [ Special Tolpprnm to
Tut HEK. ] The weakness developed yester
day was continued throughout today M mar
ket. The Increase within the last few days
has proved too crcut a strain on prices and
they have weakened to the extent of from lOc
to 20c per 10(1 ( Ihs. The average roductlon
today was about 5c , It being Impossible to get
ijultu yesterday's prices for anything except
the cream of the offerings , and there was not
much cream , There wore a few bunches tbat
would easily conio under tlio bead of choice ,
and a fair number that answered to
the description of goml , but com
mon and medium grades made tip
the bulk. Kully ono-hulf of nil the
cattle oti sale came from the ranges , Texas
being credited with 3,500 and the western
ranges with 4,000 head. A large part of the
natives wore of u quality that come In compe
tition with the rangers , and therefore any
thing grading below good sold very unsatis
factory. The major part of the natives sold
at from $1.75 to $2.75 for cows and at from
83. DO to S4.G5 for steers. The popular prices
for westerns wore from J2.DO to $3.40 and for
Tcxuns from $2 to 12.00. Nothing of consequence
quence was done In the stock branch of the
market. Calves wore salable at former prices.
A part of yesterday's advance In heavy
hogs WHS lost today. Light weights bold up
pretty well , a decline of not more than from
oc to lOc belnz noted , but sellers of heavy and
medium weights complained of a slack trade
tit from 20c to 2ScolT. Averages of over 250
Jbs. wore not In demand at the close at batter
than $5.45 , while the choicest of the light * .orts
were taken at from 10.10 to $0.20. Of fresliund
stalohogs combined there was not to exceed
25,000 head , and though trading was pro
tracted until a Inter hour than for borne days
past , a good many lots had to bo carried over.
The offerings of light hogs were altogether In
adequate to the demand , and they now occupy
a point from 60c to 70c pur 100 fbs. above tlio
prices current for heavy weights. That this
difference will long bo sustained IR doubtful.
Early In the morning there were tales of heavy
hogs at from $5.40 to $5G5 and u few light
fetched $0.25.
The sheep market was without further Im
portant declluo , but sales dragged heavily
and the tone of the market was extremely
weak. Choice wethers were quoted at from
$3.00 to $4 and something extra might have
brought , from $4.20 to J4.25 , but the bulk of
trading was demo below J3.5O. Westerns .sold
largely nt from $2.00 to J3.25 and Texans , of
which there were few , were quoted at from
81.25 to S3 for Inferior to good stock. The
lamb market was lower at from S2.75 to ? 5 ,

ARKANSAS CITY , Aug. 17. The
troops of United States cavalry which
have boon driving out intruders from
the Cherokee Strip , preparatory to the
opening of that country to settlement ,
have about completed their work. Every
one on the strip has been compelled to
move out. The only trouble encountered
by the troops was with the haymakers
who have been accustomed eaeh year to
gather immense quantities of prairie
hay. They at first declined to move on ,
but the troops threatened to burn their
hay and machines as well and they re
luctantly moved off. No one is allowed
to enter the strip oven for the purpose
of crossing into Oklahoma.

The Colorado governor has been outdone
In this city by the Southern Pacific , which
Is literally driving Its Iron borsos through our

speed of thirty miles nn hour , anil the flnt

Homo once doclnrod that Carthage must

Ington of the Southern Pacific is that Oak

Is a thing of the past ; it is done and com
pleted ; the C.illfornlan parallel is yet
unsettled nnd if the purpose of
thb railroad magnate Is ono of ro-
vcngo he has chosen the most unfortu
nate method of wreaking It a mortal could

before a bull ami to tell the public to bo

manner , with such tf contempt for human
life Is on a par with the work of
anarchists who rely on public sllcnco nnd
Indifference ns they grow bolder and more
audacious. There Is , however , n limit to
liumnn endurance , nnd oven railroad mag
nates are liable some day to learn how
potent a thing the majesty of the law Is
when the cousclonco of the people Is once
aroused.

The gist of the difficulty lies In the fnct
tbat tlio people of Oakland have exorcised
the ptivilcce of riding free between stations
on Uio Seventh street local system , for
many years , It having bcon a condition upon ,
which the franchise was granted the copora-
tlon , by which this corporation had the ex
clusive right ot traversing her streets on the
ground level , that no faro was to bo col
lected from passengers \vlio rode only within
the city limits.
When the old timers and the new coiners
saw the trains running nt full speed up and
down Seventh street nil day Saturday they
were amazed. It was evident that
the railroad aimed to repudiate
Its obligation , nnd meant to wage
war for the patronage of the people
of Oakland. Its object was evidently to
prevent people In West and East Oakland
from taking the local train free and then
going down to the Davie ferry to San Fran
cisco. Its aim was dual to at once kill
tlio free ride system and to compel passen
gers to patron izo Its line through to San
Francisco or walk to the furry If inclined lo
take that route.
When tlio trains commenced to operate
three flagmen were put on guard.
The limited , however , had no respect -
spect for city ordinances or anything
6f the sort , keeping tlio speed
of its sixteen trains up to thirty miles per
hour. As a result , early in the day people
commenced to make mistakes by getting on
the wrong train and many a free rldor was
tnKcn from Broadway to the mole , only to
foot it back to West Oakland or pay the
comuany 10 cents.
liidienutlon TnkeB Form.
And so the trains tore through the streets.
There were miraculous escapes from death
and there wore broken bones and blood
spilled. Men regarded it as a
criminal outrage and indignation ran
high. Ono man remarked : "This thing
couldn't go on without somebody being hurt
and the company know it well enough. It's
an outrage to run cars through the city at
this ruto and it ought to bo stopped , "
One prophet remarked that it would take
very llttlo moro tyranny from the company
to make the people take up the Seventh
street track.
Shortly alter noon n citizens' committee
was sot to arranging lor a grand mass meet-
in : ; for the night , the posters announcing as
follows :

Early in the day the following circular
was distributed broadcast :
Kosallo The People's Ferry. To the People
of Oakland mid Hun KrnncTsco : Now Is the
time to strlUo for your liberty. We do not ask
you to contribute ono dollar to the Duvlu ferry ,

The circular was read with a great deal
of interest by many people , and it had a
good effect , as the patronage of the Hosnllo
has since run 10 to I against tlio Alameda ,
the boat of the Southern Pacific , running in
opposition.

The representatives of Oakland were
practically told that their city had boon
naughty and would be punished. In other
words , that revenge would bo taken upon It
for encouraging opposition and questioning
the water front rights , and it would bo dona
by depriving the stores In the main portion
of the city of all suburbia trafllc.
Director Nordhnusnr wns indignant at the
manner In which the city was treated.
At the mass mooting that evening n scrlc *
of resolutions were approved , condemning tno
course of Iho Southern 1'nclflc as nn attempt
to override nnd overawe the people and do *
prlvo them of tholr interest and Inherent
right to civil llborty.
A bill la also to bo passed h.v the city
council limiting the speed of trains to not
over olphl or tan miles nn hour within the city
limits nnd compelling every train to slot )
within 100 foot of ovcry street crossing on
which thcro Is n railroad , cither steam ,

compelled to keep a flagman stationed at

Acnlnit Taxing on I'.iirnlne Capnrltr.
INDIANAI'OMS , Allg. 17. E. W. Mo-
dtuigh , iittornoy for the Chicago t Grand
Trunk , in the hearing before the Hoard
of Tax Commissioners now going oa
lioro , ontcrod a most novel plea against
tlio present system of assessment.
If the constitution of Indiana was to
have force in tlio consideration by the
board , ho said , the plan followed was er
roneous. Railroads should not bo as
sessed "Uncording to tholr earning ca
pacity , but what it would cost to repro
duce them or whut they would bring if
sold on tlio mar Kot. To assess the earning
capacity meant to tax the brains to
which the railroads owe their success.
This is the method now being followed ,
and unless it wus applied to all cases of
industry it was leading to injustice.
The Grand Trunk puid its taxes instead \
of going to litigation , aa lias some of the - ' " > ,
other roads. The railroads are bur-
dcncd with u tendency on the part of
the public to have passenger and
freight rates cut down , and the rate of
taxation was to bo raited. This could
bo carried to a point , ho said , where
there was not room enough for the rail
roads to go on.
Ilo stated that the railroads were Buf
fering from tlio linancial stringency tlio
same as other concerns , lie mentioned
the roads that had lately become insol
vent and said other lines were sure to -
follow. The railroad ho represented belonged - '
longed to the Canadian Grand Trunk
and to others than the owners the stock
had no value. They thought that tlio
line had boon ovcrasscsscd. In assessing
the rolling stock under the Bystoin ,
adopted by the commission Mr. Mo1
datigh said that Indiana received bone *
fits to which the state was not entitled ,
Now York's Ilnuin ployed.

toriul on tlio linancial situation the
Evening Journal , owned by Secretary
Smith , calls upon congress to pass a free *
coinage bill of gold and silver , putting
enough metal in the silver dollar to put
it on a parity with the gold dollar.
"Wo believe , " it says , "that Mr.
Cleveland and bis cabinet of democratic

AB the Journal has equivocally en

not until now called for free coinage ot

regarded as significant.
