Wheat Continued on the Down Grade
_ Throughout the Day ,
CORN WAS WEAK AT THE OPENING

CHICAGO , July 18. Wheat continued on
the down grade today , the lack of export
Inquiry and outside orders weakening the
market , September wheat closing lo lower.
Corn closed Ic lower. September oats closed
% o lower , but provisions made moderate
gains.
Wheat opened nt from Ic to Hie of the
price It closed the day before. The weather
bureau prediction of frost In the northwest
was not realized , and the Cincinnati Price
Current declared that everything was lovely
nnd the spring wheat condition very high.
The market soon followed up Its opening
decline by seeking a still lower level. De-
Bides the 1'arvest ' feature just mentioned
the foreign n.arket features were nil there.
The receipts were small for the season , but
BO likewise were the exports. Chicago re
ceived 48 carloads , 47 of which were new
red winter and 17 of which Inspected No , 2.
The only wheat exported from the Atlantic
seaboard for twenty-four hours was 1,20.
bu. from Philadelphia , and Lfaltlmore
houses wired that they had resold today
thfee boat loads of wheat that were taken
by a foreign house yesterday. The trade
was as narrow as has been remarked of It
for some days and was easily Influenced
by comparatively small transactions. After
the weakness with which the market opened
had run Its course It became linn itid grad
ually worked up Into an appcarnce ol
actual strength. The recover" was duo for
the most part to covering by shorts , but
there was also some buying for the lonK
account on n still remaining probability ol
froRts before tomorrow morning In the
north\Vest and by rejrarted storms there this
morning , which had laid the crops over 11
length of sixty-five miles. The openlns
transactions were over n range of from
down to C6c for September. After a
Blight recovery to C6c it sold down to CGc
and recovered gradually from that to CCj ; < c ,
but In the end It tumbled back to Cfi',4C
and closed with sellers'at thnt.
Corn was weak nt the opening under the
Intlucnce of favorable weather for the grow
ing crop , and recovered later on the develop
ment of a "demand for cash corn. Hetween
200,000 and 300,000 bu. were worked for ship
ment , and New York reported 23 boat load ?
sold there for export. The sales here foi
shipment were probably Identical with the
export business reported from New York ,
llecelpts were 1EG cars. The opening range
for September was 4lc and 4rKc , nnd the
latter was the closing rate. It first sold
down to 43c , and a great deal of short
corn was covered on that break. It recov
ered gradually to 44',4o and 44c , and closed
as above.
For a time after the opening oats had n
comparatively firm tone. There were n
good many buying orders In nnd sellers
were none too plentiful. Later on. however ,
offerings were more than liberal and came
from a great many different Individuals
principally stop loss orders. A great de
cline resulted , and from that time on the
market was weak. September started al
22Jc , sold at 23c down to 22lJo nnd closed nl
Provisions were affected In the forenoon
by the weakness of the grain market , bul
later on the principal shorts bought through
several brokers and sustained the mnrkel
liy so doing. At the close pork was 12 < Ac
higher , lard 5c higher and ribs 2'/.c hlghe'r.
Receipts of hogs were 14,000 head.

The New York Journal of Commerce says of
the Hma bean situation : There are at present
no offerings of lima beans of the 1685 clop In ths
enrU-rn mnikets , nil of the Inigest houses hand
ling this commodity having withdrawn from the
market and Instructed their ngenH to atcept no
further orders on the basis of recent quotations
until more definite Information Is obtained con
cerning the movement recently stnrtid by ths
California growers to elevate prices. Ijist year
the growers successfully organized n comblna.
linn , which resulted In bringing them better
prices than appeared prolnble nt the begin *
nlng of the season. It will be remembered that
the Callfoinla limn benn crop was a short one
In 1894 , and the success of the growers' move ,
ment was due largely to that fact. Tlris pensnn
the crop by comparison with those of years
previous to 1S94 Is also short , but It Is larger
than It was last year by at least nne-nfth.
Taking Into consideration the reduced consump.
tlon caused by the compalatlvely high prices
quoted In consuming mnikets on 1891 bennp ,
? oine people do not believe that an effort to
force the price of the new crop much above thp
level established by recent rales can me t with
success ; but there me others who hold that
If the growers complete their combination there
Is no reai-on why they can not gst 3c per pound ,
the price they are now aiming to establish on
October shipments from Ventura points.
The spot mnrkft Is very quiet , the consump
tlon. It Is claimed by Jobbers , having been
checked by the comparntixely high prices , nn6
many of the retailers , It Is said , decline t <
handle them , ns consumers will not take them nl
their present cost. The supply , however , belnn

NKW YORK , July 18. The volume of business
on th Stock exchange today was light nnd the
share market wan Irregular. As of late , the In-
durtrlals occupied the chief attention , the
grangers atone ot the railway group appearing
prominently In the transactions. Americans wcrt
neglected In the London market , and the stagna

here for the arbitrage account. Chicago Oas led
In activity. The selling In the morning wait
heavy nnd was mainly for the short account ,
while the buying was , It was claimed , by the

due to the pcml-nfllclnl announcement of nn In.
tended Increase In the capital flock of 18,000,0.10 ,
to lx > equally divided between the common nnd
preferred shares. Favorable clop lepo.ts Induced
the short interest In the grangers to cover , and
there were a few western purchasing orders on
the boa id. which helped to sttengthen the shares.
Little attention was paid to the gold export quen-
tlon , the general fe > ellng seeming to be that thera
can tic no seilous drain on the gold In view ot
the near approach of the time when the produce
bills will nppenr In sufficient quantities to afford
a basis for all the sterling exchange needed ,
At the opening the trading wan moderately
active , but no special chnngen took place beyond
a gain of l',4 per cent In Cotton Oil. The bears
quickly renewed their nggri'sslve tactics against
the Industrials , breaking Leather piefened nnd
Illinois Steel 3 per cent and Chicago tins l i per
eent. The renctlunniy tendency was checked lie *
fore 11 o'clock , Leather preferred tallying 1& pel
cent and Chicago Oas 1 per cent , while Ray State
Ous rose 314 per cent , to 21',4. The railway list ,
under the lend of the grangers , made nn advance
of ! iffl'4 per cent , ( n Northwestern. Aliout
midday Leather was again pressed for sale , tile
common lecedlng l'fc per cent and the preferred
14 per cent. There was a genearl sympathetic
decline of a fraction , nnd Consolidated Oas fell
on 1 per cent. A general rise In values" , which
look place around delivery hour , was most
marked In the Industrials. Chicago Oas nppre-
elated li per cent , Leather preferred 1V4 per cent ,
nnd Illinois Steel S per cent , In the latter deal *
ings Sugar was offered fre-ely nnd yielded 114
per cent , Chicago Oas receded 1 % per cent ,
Leather preferred 1 per cent , and others of tha
group a traction. The lallway group , except the
grangers , reacted slightly In the final trading
and closed heavy. Thu total sales of bonds today
were 11,177,000.
The Kvcnlng Test's London cablegram says :
The stock maikets were utterly neglected today
for the elections. Americans firmer. L-hlgh
bonds had n good effect as affecting1 exchange.
Th" Increase In the coin nnd bullon nt the Rank

The receipts today were 1,801 entile , 3,210
hogs and no sheep , us ngntost 1,811 cuttle ,
2,848 hogs and 275 xhcep yesterday iind 1,087
cattle , 3,088 hogs and M sheep on Thursday
of last week.
The receipts for the week thus far arc
7,213 cattle , 10,010 lions " "d 731 sheep , as
ugnlnst 6,771 cattle , 10,750 hogs and ' . ' 01 sheep
for the same period last week.
CATTLE The more liberal run of cattle
that set In u few days ago still keeps up.
The receipts today were about & 00 head In
excess of the receipts for the same day of
last week. There has been u gain In the
receipts every day this week except on Tues
day. The Increase , however , has been due
to the larger supply of stock cattle and cow
stuff. Fat steers , such us are wanted by the
dressed beef trade , are not coming any more
freely , In ( act the receipts of that kind of
cattle have been i'nlllng off of late.
Today's market was virtually bare of fnt
steers. The market was about steady on
anything desirable. There was one load
good enough to bring $4.10.
The most desirable of the cows and
heifers sold at about steady prices. The
feeling on the poor grades was not to strong ,
in faci , the market on the medium and com
mon t'ows has had a downward tendency all
the week. Cows sold all the way from $1.60
to $3.60 but the bulk of the sales were at
from $2.25 to $2.75.
Good stockers and feeders were In demand
at about yesterday's prices. Quito n good
many head changed hands at from $2.bO to
$3.05. In addition to the natives on sale
there was quite u showing of westerns. The
common light stock cattle are not moving
quite to treely , and the market on that
class of stuff Is not so strong. Representa

HOGS The situation Ui the bog market today
was about the same as yebtenlay , that IB , the
shippers were active buyers nnd light hogs In
the best demand. The quality of the light hogs
was nothing extra , but there were liberal or
ders for that kind of stuff , and the offerings
were taken quickly nt prlcen that were strong
to So higher. As high as 5 was paid for light
hogs , while the best prlco paid for choice heavy
hogs was J4.90. There were seven or eight
loads of light hogs taken by the sh ppera foi
the eastern fresh meat trade , and It Is the de
mand from that source Itlmt U advancing the
" " "
"leavy hogs were about steady , and while
the mark'et was more Active than yeBterday
there was not much tnapjo the trade. A a
salesman remarked , tb6 packers seemed to take
the heavy hogs under protest. The packing
hog or those averaging W heavy for the light
hog buyers sold largely at from J4.75 to 14.80.

lliirvoj nail Herr D.scun Again the "Crime
of Sevonty-Thrwc. "
f
CHICAGO , July 18. The third clay of the
Horr-Harvey silver debate opened .n the audi
torium of the Illinois club at 11 a. in. today ,
the lateness ot the starting hour heretofore
having been found more or less Inconvenient
In some respects. The subject under discus
sion was what Mr. Harvey had characterized
in his book as "The crime of 1873" the
demonetization of silver. After eomc miscel
laneous sparring Mr. Harvey charged corrup
tion In the passage of the act demonetizing
silver. Mr. Herr In reply repudiated the In
ference that the citizens of the United Slates
were all corrupt and none of their women
virtuous. He then took up the history of the
demonetization act and proceeded to show
the stages through which It had passed , and
that Its flnal enactment was not till after It
had been before congress for nearly three
years. He pointed out how the bill had been
read In full several times and printed sepa
rately eleven times nril twice In the reports
of the comptroller of the currency. The de
bates In the senate on It occupied sixty-six
columns In the Congressional Record. In the
report of the committee It was stated that It
had 'been examined line by line and word by
word and was finally passed. He would show
that in so doing the senate knew what Itns
about.
Mr. Harvey In reply said that Mr. Hon
would have to retreat from hln position when
the proper time came. In point of fact , the
bill about which he had been talking was not
the bill finally passed. Judge Kelly , In pre
senting the bill In the house , said that It was
merely a codification of the unit laws. In
response to a question Judge Kelly replied
that the bill made no change In the value of
the coins of the nation. In 1872 , when the
bill came up again , It was spoken ot as a
bill .on a dry subject and members lost Inter
est. It was at that time , as appears from
the Record , that the first disclosure of the
Intention to change the standard to gold was
made In a speech by Mr. Hooper. Hut there
was reason to believe that the speech was not
actually delivered , but was printed by leave ,
or that It was read from manuscript , and
these words omitted. But no reference was
made to the demonetization of silver. On the
enrollment of the bill a clause was omitted
which had the effect of limiting the coinage
of silver.
Mr. Herr , replying , charged Mr. Harvey
with quoting a single sentence and leaving
out the modifying context. The record
showed that the statement was made in
running debate and was not under leave to
print. In the very speech referred to by
Mr. Harvey the speaker said this bill pro
vided for a standard "In a single metal"
Instead of , as before , In two metals , and
that all coins , except subsidiary coins , should
bo of gold. Mr. Herr then spoke of the de
monetization of silver In 181C as the re
sult of experience In the use of the double
standard. In 1881 Germany adopted the gold
standard and threw on the market $300,000.-
000 In silver. H. was ths | that set the world
to considering the silver question not any
gold bug conspiracy. The financial policy
of no great nation was ever dominated by
a conspiracy.
In replying to the large assortment of
questions put to Messrs. Herr and Harvey
by the audience , the most Interesting col
loquy , perhaps , was at the very end of the
day's proceedings. This conundrum was put
by Mr. L. C. Powers of Michigan : "You
said yesterday : 'My answer Is , that I did
not say that I had forced them to change It
or to correct any mistake. ' In 'Coin's
Financial School Up to Date , ' page 1C2 , you
say : 'Coin here explains how an error had
crept Into the official report of the treasurer ;
that he had since forced the Treasury depart
ment to correct that error.1 Please explain
the manifest discrepancy. "
Mr. Harvey : "The answer Is , Coin , a little
boy in knee pants , represents the cause of
bimetallism ; he does not represent me. ( Ap
plause and groans on each side of the house
respectively. ) I would not have the egotism
to claim that I represent Coin in the many
arguments and sentiments and kind things
said about the little boy by the author , and
when Coin's Influence Is exercised at Wash
ington , of San Francisco , or Memphis , It
means the Influence of bimetallism and hu
manity. "
On the request of Mr. Herr the further
hearing of the debate was adjourned to 1
p. m. Saturday.

CHICAGO , July 18. Nearly all the lines of
the Western Passenger association were rep
resented today when the meeting to consider
the chances of demoralization resulting from
the Christian , Endeavor tickets reconvened.
Reports were read from all the lines ami the
result was such that It was generally agreed
that there would bo no chance for the scalpIng -
Ing of the regular rates. Chairman Cnldwell
was given authority to test the market at
Chicago or elsewhere In the association terri
tory , and If he flmls any danger of demorali
zation from the tickets of any one road or
any number of roads he Is to call the at
tention of such road or roads to the matter
and they will be made to protect competitors
In such manner that there would be no neces
sity for the reduction of one way rates any
where to meet the Christian Endeavor tickets.
Today the presidents' agreement to abso
lutely uphold tariff rates from 'Chicago to the
Atlantic seaboard went Into effect. All tha
roads declared today that they were keeping
the strict letter of agreement , and that
If any lapse from virtue had occurred It must ,
have been In the office of some sinful brother
In the next block. A number of grain carryIng -
Ing contracts have been made which will
prevent some of the roads from absolutely
maintaining the agreement before August 1.
Hut the majority of them declare thnt they
will keep It "as long as the rest do , " whlcU
means everything or nothing.
