CniCAOo , Juno 2. [ Special Telegram to
TUB Hr.K. ] As compared with the closing
prices of last night July wheat lost % , Au-
pist wheat Jfe , and December wheat J c.
As will ho seen the ilcclino In the July future
was out of all proportion to the others. This
disproportionate decline , however , was only
n readjustment of the relative prices of dif
ferent futures which had , through a combin
ation of circumstances , hccomo greatly dis-
turhed. At one time yesterday July wheat
was at n premium of nearly ' 'o over August ,
mid even n slight premium over December.
It was this , more than anything else , which
gave rise to all the talk of a July corner ,
which the course of the market to-day seems to
prove to have been without foundation in
fact. An explanation which docs not involve
manipulation may very readily bo found for
tills peculiar condition uf things. An enor
mous amount of short wheat had been sold
for July , and much of It txt prices which did
not permit sellers to get out even within the
past few weeks. Much of tills wus , of course ,
covered outright by purchases of July , but
much wove of it , and in this description maybe
bo included nearly all foreign short wheat ,
was transferred to later months. The effect ,
of course , was to advance the July delivery
mid depress later deliveries. To-day there
was a largo amount of Belling of July and
nnd buying of August by traders who saw
that prices must sometime bo equalized and
that there would then bo a profit in the trans
action. Among these traders were the
brokers of Cudaliy and Linn , the lead
ers of the bu 11 party , although it
was thought , that they sold much more than
they nought. Keam and Hutchinson were
large sellers and Jones , Konnctt & Hopkins
were probably llm largest sellers of all. The
market showed ; omo strength and advanced
n llttlo early in the session , but from the
time that the crowd saw that the bull leaders
were really selling large quantities of grain
and were simply offering it for effect , the
market became weak and declined by spurts ,
dropping u little lower after each reaction.
July wheat opened at , fcO e , sold up early to
brtjfe , then dropped with frequent reactions
ol JiC to W e , advanced to 8 : > c , fell to 84J < c
again and closed at h4 * c. December wheat
opened ( itSGJi'e ; , sold to SfiiC , then down to
Sfi' e and closed at S-T c. Not much news
was received and the little that was , was ap
parently without effect upon the market.
The most interesting was a report of the re
cent destroyers of wheat in southern In
diana.
There wnsbutliltloof interest in thospecu-
latlvo corn market. Fluctuations wore within
n range of % e , the opening being at near the
highest and the close ut the lowest price of
the day. Trade was not large , and was
chielly local. Hutchinson was the only con
siderable seller , but the wheat market was
closely watched by corn traders , and the
weakness In wheat had its influence in the
corn-pit. The receipts were sixty cars under
tlio estimate , but the estimate for Monday
was thought to bo liberal , and did not en
courage buying. July corn opened at 50 } < , e ,
sold up early to fiO' e , declined to 55 % ( < 8
f > 53fc , advanced to 50e , declined to and
closed at fi5Xo. September corn opened at
COlfr , sold at 500c ' , down to 5555.JiJc , and
closed at 55J < e.
Tliero was light business in the specu
lative oat market , with fluctuations following
the course of prices. Corn strong early , bu t
declining later in the session. July oats
opened utilise , sold at aic , down to nnd
closing at JtyjiJc ; Juno oats sold down from
34 fo to X\Mc \ , August oats from 2'Jo ' to 2jc {
and September oats sold nt 27Jf '
In provisions the week closed in a quiet
manner. The dullness lately prevailing was
evoa muro than continued to-day , nnd in the
Kcncral trade a featureless , ns well as char
acterless , condition of affairs existed. The
product , however , was well supported , nnd
for lurd prices were advanced fully 5c. 1'ork
was unchanged , while short ribs were un
changed to ! ; > jc lower.

NEW Yoiiu , Juno 2.--Special ( Telegram
to TUB HKU.J STOCKS-A duller or moro un
Inti'iviitmg week than the one Just closed has
seldom been witnessed in the stock market
Transactions were below the average am
con lined chiefly to live properties , Heading
St. I'aul , Missouri Padllc , Union Pacific am
New ICngland , the transactions in whicl
constituted over three-quarters of tno tola
business , London cut less figure In the
market than for some weeks past , and trans
actions for foreign accounts were mainly o
of an arbitrary character. The feeling
among the majority of room traders who
controlled thu market was bearish , and the
small quantity uf news that came in from
the outside favored that side , ill-ports o
reduced rates in the west and the difficulty
that 1ms beset the granger roads in their un
delivers to maintain wen fair living rates
tended to create distrust and at times
brought out considerable long stock held b.\
weak and disgusted holders. Hut despite al
discouraging features the declines wcro
Email , slightly exceeding 3 points. There
appear * to be a" general equalization in values
going on In many securities that has been
more noticablo than nt any tinio in months.
Stocks that have paid C nnd T per cent for
years , but whoso earnings have for months
past been on the rctrogado nt such u rate
that made It almost Impossible for them to
continue paying fair dividends , and In some
instrauces , particularly St. Paul nnd Hock
Island stock , was sold down on rumors that
dividends would bo reduced. St. Paul com
mon has paid 5 per cent for years , and
preferred 7. The latter sells at 10S and the
former at GO. Northwestern common pays
0 and sells nt lOSJff , or Jjf above St. Paul
preferred , which pays 1 per cent moro nnd
43 points nbovo St. Paul common , when the
difference in dividends is only 1 per cent.
Tliis irroguality isonly explainable by the
fact that St. Paul has built u largo amount of
new rend within n year past and issued new
bonds so freely that its tlxcd charges have
increased faster than its earning capacity.
Much disappointment is expressed by Head
ing stockholders in the issuance of 5 percent
income bonds , which increases the fixed
charges ahead of the stock to an amount
which renders it almost certain that the
company will not bo able to earn a dividend
on the stock. The fixed charges , Including
interest on three classes of 5 per cent bonds ,
amount to $11-100,000 , and the most sanguine
estimates place the net earnings this year at
but little over $11,000,000 , and this estimate ,
It Is not probable , will bo rcnlircd , for the
condition of nil branches of trade , especially
and necessarily coal , isgiowing worse rather
than bettor. The stock of the company ,
therefore , has lost many friends. The market
to-day was dull , total sales being only D1',2S1
shares , including 11,400 Union Pacific , 0,000
shares Heading , ( ( ,700 Lake Shore , 4,000
Missouri Pacific , U.OOO New England. The
feature of trading was the life and strength
in Union Pacific , which advanced 1'fc'c on a
reported increase of April earnings of
811)7,060. ) The bears made an attempt to force
prices down on reports that Gould was too
seriously ill to continue his western trip.
The reports wcro too conflicting. , however ,
for the majority of traders to believe , and it
had little effect , and the stock advanced } i' ,
jut later broke Jjfc The strength in Union
'acltlc helped the rest of the market and
slight advances were recorded , but at the
close the changes from yesterday wcro un-
mportant. The bank statement showed si
lecrcaso in the reserve of $2,573,875 , an in
crease deposits of $3,720,500. It had no effect
on the market , however. The changes for
the week are , with a few cxccptions.l nslnill
cant , the most important being the loss of 83
on Missouri Pacific , IX on New England , %
Rock Island , 1 on St. Paul , and 7'j , ' on Head-
Ing. The gains wcro lc on cotton oils , yf
on Northwestern , ? H on Union Pacific.

" Walking Out " T
London News : A breach of promise
ciso. : just reported , throws BOIDO li ht
upon the etiquette of courtship in that
class of life in which "walking out to-
pothor" SB the rocogniy.od niodo of mak
ing acquaintance. The defendant said
that ho hurt never intcndud to marry
the plaintilT , whoso counsel immedi
ately protested njraiiiKt this statement
by remarking : "Hut .you walked her
out. " This was mot by tlio defendant
with the reply : "It would bo a fine job
if a man hurt to marry every girl lie
' '
walked out with. " It'is to 'bo feared
that this gentleman was inconstant ,
and , in fact , the jury took that view.
Walking out with a girl , if the prome
nades are Bulliciently frequent , is re
garded in much Hip paine light as "ask
ing pujjii" is in social circles of asomo-
wlmt higher range. Some months ago ,
in a case of domination of character , the
young woman who had been libollcct
said in evidence that she had walked
out with the young Frenchman who wna
defendant in thu action , but that she had
only done BO to try if she liked him , and
Uncling that slio did not , she gave him
up. It is 11 nice question of etiquette
how many walks would be allowed on
either side for the probationary stage ,
and whether a greater number would bo
permitted to tlio walking lady , asboing
more dillicult of choice. EtiquettO
books are silent on the subject. They
lly too high to touch these humble
walks of life , and always scorn to bo
written for these classes which ought
not to need them. Tlio unwritten
law would scum to bo that after a tenta
tive walk or two , if tlio couple still por-
fiovciro in Folocting each other's com
panionship , the all'air may be regarded
as an engagement.
An Ailvnnliirt ) In u Subway ,
. London Times : .Recently , having
some business lo trniiMict in 13crmond-
poy , I entered the Tower subway about
1 o'clock , wearing a valuable gold watch
and chain. AH 1 walked through llm
dismal , nasty little tunnel , I noticed
that there was coiiHidcrahlotralllc going
on there , and J thought that itwaiin
very unlikely place for the perpetration
of robbery or a murder. I was followed
by three young men , apparently ro-
bpcctable , and when I arrived tit the
bottom of the stairs at the Hcrmondtioy
terminus 1 stood on one aide and allowed
tlio young men to pass mo , as I fultnuro
that they would ascend tlio ninety-six
stops of tlio circular btaircaKO moro
nimbly than an old gentleman In Ilia
bovontieth y < wr would be disposed to do ,
especially as I wjui burdened with
a well filled black bag. Tlio young
men readily availed themselves of the
precedence i granted them'but hoforo
1 had mounted twenty steps one of tha
voung nion How buddenly at my throat ,
hurled me backward down tlio stairs ,
bci/.cd my watcli and chain , both ol
which lie mutinied to eeciire , and then
ail three culprits Hindu oil with the
greatebt celerity. The whole biiKinetg
did not occupy more than five seconds.
At the fiamo time that I was attacked I
observed that ono of the party slipped
behind me and descended a nliort dis
tance , evidently with the purpose ol
hustling and impeding anyone who
might ho ascending , while another of
tiie gang hurried up Die stairs , doubtless -
less on ttie same duiliocs errand of
keeping tlio coast clear while the rob
bery ; was being perpetrated. I
screamed for help unavailingly. No
succor was at hand , and no policeman
could be found within half a mile of tlio
spot. It was a providential mercy that
1 was not killed or seriously injured
when I was thrown backward down the
btairs.
