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. The
close was steady ; September pork un
changed at J8.23 ; September lard 2V4c lower
nt J5.22V4 and September ribs 2Hc lower at
.
Estimated receipts Wednesday : Wheat ,
"coril and oats , no estimates compiled ; hogs ,

NEW YORK , Aug. 19. 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

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.

CAJTTLE Cornfcd beeves were In demand
this morning- and the twenty or twenty-llvo
loads on sale were mostly all deposed of In.
good season. 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.

HOG-S Light hos buyers seemed to be
anxious for supplies this morning nnd they
were out early nnd the market on that k.nd
opened active and n little stronger than
yesterday. Tin ? good light mixed loads
brought $ I.60S4.55 and a choice Ight load
$4.65. while some commonlsh I'.uht loads ,
not very good , sold at } 4.154.47iA. ( The most
of the light and light mixed loads Fold
early.
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. Heavy mixed loads broguht $4.3o { ? )
4.40 principally and good medium weight
mixed loads ns high as { 1.45.
The market this week Is nctlng a good
deal like the market last week-that is , the
light hogs are the best sellers and active ,

over from yesterday. The market on sheep
was Rtrons : and active and the offerings of
muttons ohansed hands early.

to say how much , as no lambs were sold to
establish quotations. Today , however ,
pretty good western lambs sold at $5 , showIng -
Ing that the market Is fully 25c lower than
last week.
The demand for feeders continues very
good , while the. supply Is light , and any-
thlns at all deslrnble In the way of feeder
wethers can be depended upon to sell ,
quickly.

Major P. 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.
