THE O3KAIIA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , ADG-TJST 30 , 1899. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Whe t ATmgt * Weak , But Closes at Snb- itantiall ; Unchanged Priced. BULLS WATCHING NORTHWEST RECEIPTS Corn In Irretilnr find Weak , lint llnlllcn loiter and Oilmen Sternly OnU In ( ho Mnln Follorr Corn ProvUlon * Stenilj- . CHICAGO , Aug. 29. Wheat averaged weak today , but closed nt substantially un changed prices. Expectations of Increased northwest receipts were still affecting the bulls , but shorts were disposed to take profits. Other markets were uninteresting. Corn closed V4c lower for September and un changed for December. Oats declined Ho In 6c ) > tembor , but closed a shade higher for Kocomber. Provisions closed unchanged to 2'/So ' lower. Weakness was shown by wheat nt the opening of trading. Liverpool reported a decline of 4d , while the northwest advices told of perfect weather for harvesting operations and also said that now wheat would move freely from now on. Longs were the principal sellers. They wcro ap parently afraid of their position under the unfavorable crop conditions and liquidation ( from that source forced prices down slightly from the opening decline. The break In prices wns taken advantage of by shorts , who covered quite freely , and a slow re covery In prices ensued , the advance bring ing both the "September and December op ! tions back fairly within yesterday's clos ' | ing prices. An Interval of extreme dull ness followed and prices for an hour or more varied but little. The general ten dency was In the main downward , the npeculatlve market being Influenced to a certain degree by the early slack cosh de mand. 'Jhe weakness became more pro- nounocd In the afternoon , though the de clines were small on account of the lack of trading cither way. The northwest was "woaker than the local market and some nelllng came from that direction. Late In the session the market was Influenced by the Hungarian minister's estimate on the world's wheat crop , which put the amount nt nearly 90,000,000 bu , under theoretical re quirements. A fair amount of buying fol lowed this announcement and best prices of ahe day were reached. There were plenty of holders willing to part with their wheat nt thn advnnco and the close found the market steady , but on a slight downward turn. Bradstreot's estimated the world's visible decrease at 1,982,000 bn. , about what was expected. Minneapolis and Duluth re ceipts were 5S1 cars , against 300 cars last week and 839 cars a yuar ago. Chicago re- oclpts wcro 192 cars. 4 of contract grade. Total primary receipts were 606,000 bu. , compared with 1,003,000 bu. a year ago. At- Jantlo port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 2SS.OOO bu. The cash demand here was alow and offerings generally freer , Now York put the export engagements at 25 loads , September opened ' /ic lower at rai < 7TC9c. It declined to 69 < 54e during the llrst hour , sold as inlgh as 70J&C and closed nt 70o. December opened ViWHc lower at 71SF71ic. It declined to 71c and reacted to 72W2Vic. ! closing at 72c. Corn was irregular. September was weak early with wheat and on tne more liberal country offerings , but It rallied later and closed about fltendy. The new crop futures were steady all day. Trading was extremely narrow and price fluctuations in all specu lative futures were small. Local receipts were 91S cars. Elevator people were the principal sellers. There was some talk of too much hot weather. September ranged from 30'ic to 30ff31c ! and closed He lower at 30c. December closed unchanged at L 2Slk. Oats In the main followed corn. Septem ber was weak early , but recovered partly and closed fairly steady. Country offerings were freer and the cash demand not so eood during the morning. Elevator people Bold ; Casfh 'business Improved later and 200- 00 ? bu. were reported worked. Trading was 1 mostly In the way of changing. Receipts wore 77 cars. September ranged from 19c to 12o and closed Ho lower at 19020c. December dosed a shade higher at 13 % ® . Provisions were steady most of the day. "Weakness was shown at the opening in flympathy with the grain markets. Shorts wore moderate buyers of the September product and with light offerings prices ruled higher until near the close , when the demand slackened and prices fell off.

Prices In many prominent railroad stocks show losses of $1 per share nnd upwnrds , ns a result of the day's trading. There wns a disposition In the early hours of the day to contest the decline nnd the efforts was assisted by several strong features In the list. But the persistent heaviness in railroad stocks and the manifest exhaustion of the buying demand discouraged the bulls nnd turned the scale In favor of the bears. Stocks In which manipulation by pools has been recently evident showed a conspicuous lack of support , Consp.cuous In th.s clnsa wna Louisville & Nashville , Northern Pa cific , Atchlson preferred , Baltimore & Ohio , and Western Union. Several of the minor Blocks which have been under recent manipulation nlto suf fered severely. Some opposition to the enny heaviness resulted from the active dcnmml for the Republic Steel stocks on the strength of yesterday's declaration of a dividend on the preferred stock nnd ncml- olllclal Intimations of very large earnings available for the common. The common advanced at one time 2V4 and the preferred 4 per cent. Steel and Who was alto marked up on predlct.ons that the listing committee of the Stock exchange ucro dis posed to admit It to the listed department. These two factors Imparted firmness to the Iron nnd steel group with the exception of Tennessee Coal and Colorado Fuel. In the railroad list the Chicago Grent Western stocks showed continued strength , the preferred "B" rising 4 points. Tnere was demand for Kansas & Texas preferred and gains shown by Wheeling & Lake Erla and Hocking Valley. In the local traction stocks Brooklyn Transit was lifted nu.io aggressively and Metropolitan Street Rail way and Manhattan showed sympathy. There came a covering movement In To bacco after a sharp fall , and Sugar showed strength from the same cause. But these elements of strength were quite lusulllcltnt to Induce a renewal of buying in the gen eral list on nny large scale and prices con tinued to drift away under dribbling offer ings. The declaration of a 2 per cent semi annual dividend on Union Paclllc preferred stiffened that stock and caused n moment ary check to the downward movement , but when the bears perceived the continued heaviness they attacked the market in the late dealings , making the closing active nnd weak at about the lowest. The few earlier gains were mostly wiped out , those re maining being largely reduced. The weak ness on foreign stock markets on account of the acuteness of the Transvaal crlss was an influential factor In thu day's weak ness. London's sales hero were estimated at 30,000 shares , covering the entire list ot International stocks. The fall of a fraction In the actual rates for sterling exchange In fnco of this liquidation from London caused renewed uneasiness over the local money situation , of which It was a reflection. Rates for time money were appreciably firmer and no call loans were made below a per cent. The bond market was rather quiet nnd prlco changes were irregular. Total sales , par value , $1,480,000. United States govern ment bonds were unchanged on bid quota tions. Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram : The markets here wore Idle nnd depressed today on serious Transvaal apprehension. The settlement Is also checking business. Americans opened under parity and were dull and weak. New York "irled to harden them , but the close wns heavy at the bottom. The general contango was 5 % < @Gc. Money was plentiful.

NEW YORK , Aug. 29.-COTTON The speculative movement In cotton today was quite steady and the course of the market quite variable. At the opening there was a decline of 206 points. The early weakness was due to unsatisfactory cables and claims of showers in Texas. Later , however , some places In Texas reported clear warm weather. Crop damage reports were re newed and the market rallied quite sharply. The weekly government crop report added to the firmer feeling. The upward move ment was arresteu , ' however , by continued heavy 'receipts aWho ports in contrast wltli the small sales of- spot cotton at Liverpool. while private cables reported an unsettled feeling on the -part of the English cotton trade , owing to contradictory advices from this side. During the. afternoon the market was qulto nervous and gave way under a bear raid before .the close , finishing barely steady at 7@S points decline. LIVERPOOL. Aug. 29.

Good and well llnlshed cattle were strong and It Is safe to any that there Inas been no time this season when tha market was any higher. Some right good cattle brought J6.10 , the best cattle and tha ? res' P&'e I" > me days. Others sold at $5.i00i.00. The less desirable cornfeds that is , cattle that were a little off did not ap pear to be In very good demand and holders of such complained that It was hard work to unload at satisfactory prices. It Is to be expected that 'unfinished cornfed cattle will sell lower as grass beef becomes more plentiful and better. Not far from twenty to twenty-five loads of westerns and Texas steers good enough for beef were reported on sale. The market - ( ket on grass cattle did not ehow much change , the demand being fairly good , and the market as a whole very satisfactory to the sellers. The sales below will show the kinds of prices paid for the different kinds. Cows and heifers were not In quite such large supply aa yesterday , only fifteen or twenty loads of killers being offered for sale. The buyers , oa was the cose yester day , appeared to be bearish in their views and the tendency of the market was lower. It Is safe to say that In a good many cases. if not in all , the cows sold lee lower than last week. Good to choice feeders were In active de mand at steady to strong prices and the offerings of anything that would come under that head as a rule were snapped up In good season and at prices that were en tirely satisfactory to the Kellers. The medium kinds of feeders were no more than Just steady and common stuff waa some what neglected and the feeling. If any thing. weak. The supply was liberal , but the big bulk of all the cattle changed hands early. Of the cattle reported In today twenty cars were consigned direct to Cudahy from Kansas City and were not offered for sale. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS.

Heavy and heavy mixed hogs were slow from the start and buyers of that Wiul were not at all In a hurry to 1111 orders , nor ( Id they seem to be afraid of thcro not being enough to go the rounds. Salesmen complained that It was late before they could get heavy hog buyers to talk business and when they did got down to business It was very evident that they had no notion of paying any more than steady prices. In the end the hogs were practically all sold and at about yesterday's figures. Heavy and rough hogs brought J4.30 and from that up to J4.37H and J4.40 for the beat heavy.

O. Eastwlck , jr. , Commdg. 3rd Battln. 2nd Or. Vol. Inf. . Sir : I bog to report ns follows : Received verbal orders from Major Eastwlck to report - port with onn Hotchktss gun nnd G men to Cnmip Harbor In command of detachment. Qua to bo pulled by ten prisoners. Left crorsronds nt 1:30 : , proceeded to point on Marlqulna rend about 2 > A miles , when on order of Cnpt. Barber gun was put Into action , firing nt native houses , where the enemy wns stationed. Enemy's fire censed. Hotchklss shells penetrated houses , but failed to explode. After firing 10 or 15 shots \ the gunner reported that the gun wns dis abled ; on examination I found that the swivel plate , controlling elevation gear , was broken. I took the plate off and turned It in such a manner 'that ' the gun could be used ( with care ) . I wns compelled n < uork under A great difficulties , on account of not having , the tools that belonged to the gun. The gun having been prepared , Capt. Barber ordered , me to place gun at a point one-quarter mlle from road to the left , and shell a rocky rldga where there \vna a body of Insurgents In force. Opened fire at 1,500 yards , shells landIng - Ing In the midst of them and exploding with the effect that they were driven from their position after some resistance. ( Note , Shells exploded by striking rocks would not explode by striking bamboo houses or ordinary soli. ) After firing 100 or more shots cleaned the gun , and shortly afterwards a shell struck , nnd Capt. Barber ordered mo to the road , whcio I found firing pin bent , vhlch I hammered in shape and re-moved broken shell from gun. Proceeded on up road per order Capt. Barber , and opened fire on hedge row , from which the enemy were psurlnjr In a hot flro ; nfter firing 2 shots the gun again Jammed , and we eucceeded In withdrawing the shell under n severe lire. I then re ported to Capt. Barber , who ordered me to report to Capt. of Neb. Company , who sent mo back to Capt. Barber ( after I had made a verbal report to him of the condition of the gun ) , with orders for him to withdraw his skirmish line to the road , and advance to his position. Also for mo to bring up the gun to his position. On arrival at his posi tion ( about 4 miles from X roads on top of hill overlooking Mnrlqulna ) with gun , Col. Stotscnburg being present , I reported to him In perEon ; ho directed mo to place gun at point to be designated by him. I placed the gun , and after firing 2 shots the gun Jammed ngaln nnd we could not dlslodgo the shell , as thcro wore no tools for the purpose at hand. Col. Stotsenburg then ordered the gun to bo taken to the Pump ing station to be repaired , and for me to await further orders. On arrival at the Pumping Station I made a I hollow-shaped tool that nt the bore of the : gun and could be rammed against the ex plosive shell without touching the cap , thereby removing the Jammed shell from the gun. I carry this tool on the gun now. ind It can be used In the field In case ot future trouble. I also repaired plate on slovatlon gear by using heavy Iron washorn ind new machine bolts. Finished repairs 11:30 : p. m. , with gun In much better and e < - stronger condition than when wo left camp. V I received telegraphic orders from Cot. \f Stoteenburg at 7:40 : p. m. to proceed to Deposlto and place gun In former , position 3n S. wall of Depoatto. Above order wa jarrled out and I reported to Col. Stotnon- : > urg to 10:00 : o. m , this 25th day of Feb. , 1899. Respectfully submitted , ( S&d. ) CHARLES A. ( MURPHY , Lieut. 2nd Or. Vol. Inf.
