Late in the nttcrnoon the Nebniskn men nnnounccd that they had secured n majority of the comlttec. tThci o was consequently dismay when it was Jino\.n shortly after 0 o'clock the committee nnd again postponed the selection of chair- inan and would not tnko up the question until Monday. A vigorous light against ThUiston was made by Lclnnd of 'Kansas on nntl-uionopoly grounds , ' , nnd this , when Joined to the work of the Pnclflo coast , for Ustcovas enough to once more dofcr no tion. The prospect is that the Thutston tooin has gone down the laltif front nnd can not again bo securely anchored. The desire to win votes in the committco has kept the ur.t.i.o vTis' MOUTHS TIGHTLY ns to their favorite candidate. There is n general dcslro to show the friendly fooling of the state for Senator Allison's aspiration , which will secure him in all probability a complimentary vote , but outsldo of tnls everything li hn2cy. Congiessmnn Doiaoy i ? on the ground working hard for Sherman , and General Mandorsun Is expected tomorrow rowto assist in the same interest , but the delegation seems to have only ono object in View nnd that is to get on the winning side among the first and they "hesitate to commit themselves for fear of making n political blunder. Personally four of the delegates Javo Sherman , four Algor nnd two nro for Orcslinm , but the vote will bo cast on differ- foront lines when the roll is called.

( j.3olltlcal prophesies as to the result to-night Would bo as valueless as the average weather prediction. No ono can predict the outcome Of the coming coming convention nnd most " 'of the delegations are as uncertain as to the vote of their own friends on the first ballot. t IThcro has never assembled in the history of the republican party a convention composed cf delegates us undecided us to condidatos , , \vith fewer scores to pay oft or tnoro willing f' ivhon the time comes to unite for the best interests of the party. This Is an cncourag- ( C ing outlook for republicans nnd ono which , fi as it Is apprehended , is doing much to pave the way for calm dclibcrato action. Even the advent of the California delegation with n blast of trumpets and blazonry of Blaine banners did not excite the expected unthu- nlusm. Whatever the Blnlno undercurrent is it declined to manifest Itself. This was noticed by William Walter Phelps and sev eral other of Mr. iilainc's friends who saw the arrival , and confirmed them in their view thut there V.OULD n is NO m.uxi : ST\.MIMI > E. When the Now England delegations put in an uppourunco this impression was con- 'jtlrmcd.

There will bo no dark horsn chosen. " Pennsylvania and Now York are looked tons ( ns the keys to the outcome. Pennsylvania is Btrongly for Sherman. Last reports give -tho Ohio senator forty- five out ofslxtvof the delegation with the promise of ton more when needed. New York with her seventy- two delegates is prepared to cast sixty votes for Chnunccy Dcpaw if his name is presented. The other twelve will scatter.

Stephen 13. Elkins suggested delay until Monday , particularly ns to the selection of temporary chairman , Mr. Elkins said ho only asked for the postponement to glvo the delegation Just arriving n chance to express their preferences. A number of committeemen - men opposed the delay on the grounds that It was unnecessary. M. D. Foley of Nevada Intimated that tno Pacific coast delegates were among those who dcMrca delay. The disposition to grat ify any reasonable request from the coast men was nt once manifest. The question when put to a vote was decided In their favor by 10 to 13. The selection of the other temporary ofllcors of the convention was then proceeded with , Hov. P. W. Ounsau- lus , pastor of Plymouth Congregational church , Chicago , was unanimously selected to open the ilrst session of the convention with prayer nnd Hov. 0. A. Northrup of Indiana , the second day. Hon. Michael Griflln of Wisconsin , was named by M.r. Payne for one temporary Rcctotary. Mr Lawson moved to appoint George W. Clissbco of Michigan. Both were accepted unanimously. Per reading secretaries Mr. Hooker named Henry Ballnrd of Vermont , Conger named David Liming of Ohio , Iceland named Colonel Lake of New York , Sanborn of Michigan named James H , Stone , nnd Littler nddcd George M. BrlnhcrhofT , of Illinois , The number of reading secretaries was incrcnscfl to six , nud nil named wcro selected. Thomas J.

The selection of an ofll- clal stenographer was left to the sub-coin- iniUoo on nnangomcnts. Hon.

Dakota's claim to statehood came up in nn entirely now shape Unllko lust night , it was now a matter of votes , not scats. Mr. Now of Indiana moved that the national com mittee iceomrncnd to the convention that the ten olcgates for Dakota and six from Washington territory bo each given votes exactly as if legally declared states. Mr. Conger of Ohio , who as chair man of the sub-comuiittro to prepare the roll of the convention , had last night opposed the seating of extra delegates from Dakota , hcaitily Joined New in thu request for votes. He explained thut his previous notion was necessitated by his position as chairman. Van Horn of Missouri earnestly opposed the proposition , sayiug it would bo utterly unjust to such states us Connecticut , which would furnish votes in the November election niid yet might now bo overridden in the conven tion by Dakota , whoso people would bo pow erless to elect the president. Thos I. Minor of AVnshington Territory pleaded that the ex clusion of Dakota nnd . Washing ton Territory from statehood was not the fault of their people or of tlio republican party. Dakota's claim to vote in the convention as a state and to be allowed ton delegates on the roll was then formally rutiilcd by the national committee 2T to 9. Mr. Littler , of Illinois , who said ho had been gieatly embarrassed by the number of applications to him for admission to the con vention , endeavored to have the mutter of tickets reopened. The committee , however , after listening n few moments to Mr. Clark- son of Iowa , on the subject , deemed the Idea impracticable. An adjournment was then taken until noon , Monday. Convention Forecasts. CHICAGO , Juno 10. One of the develop ments of this evening is the open acknowl edgement that the tight to seat In thcconven- lon the additional sixteen Maliono delegates from Virginia Is in tno interest of Senator Slicrmau. TKo fight is yet undecided nnd -iromiscs , unfos's checked , to become a battle nto which the adherents of all the presidon- ial candidates may bo drawn. The follow ers of Blaine have so far prevented the full consummation of the Shcrman-Mahono plan of campaign. It is probable that the entire Mahono delegation would have been seated iut for the determined stand taken by the Jlnlno men under the lead of Secretary Fes sendcii of Connecticut The heated dis cussion was almost wholly on technical lines nnd devoted chiefly to the unit rule question , : > ut its bearing could not bo misunderstood uy the sluowd politicians composing the na tional committee. Colonel Hooker , national committeenmn from Vermont and champion of Sherman , declares publicly that the deci sion of the committee Is the result of a com bination of the friends of other candidates against the Sherman men. Senator Quay of Pennsylvania , who Is ookod upon us n leader of the delegation from that state , is for Sherman , and said to-day whllo ho did not care to assume any thing in advance of the arrival of the dele gation , ho was satisfied that Sherman would got most of their votes. Chairman Cooper of the state committee is also In the city. Ho Is for Bluiiio and S.IVH on the start there will bo but forty votes from Pennsylvania for Sherman nnd ten for Greshnm , Ho evidently thinks ttiero will bo a break for Blulno , nnd that the Pennsyl vania delegations , with few exceptions , will go over with the Blulno stampede. Colonel William B. Hart , state treasurer for Ponns.vlvnnla , says that ho does not think there is nny danger of n break of the Penn sylvania dt legation for Blnlno at any time. There Is n mere complimentary vote mount by the proncsition to vote for Mayor Filler of Philadelphia. All the dolegatos-at-largo will bo for Shorman. The greatest inteicst was developed by the managers of the different candidates In the sentiments unil movements of the Pa- citlo coast delegates. Immediately upon the arrival of the coast delegates - gates , they were compelled to submit to nil sorts of Impoitunltles. Proba bly the most significant event of the day was the talk which several Paclllo coast dele gates hud with Judge GrcHham , In this conference the subject or Groshmn's tariff vlows was discussed and his position was stated. Tlio friends of Gresham have strong hopes of support liom the Pnclflo coast should the Blaine movement miscarry , but tlio effect of the explanation of Gresham'e position upon the gentlemen pi osont at this talk was not especially encouraging ; to the Giesham people.

Western Money In Fnlr Demnnd nnd llntes Steady. CmcAOo , Juno 10. [ Special Telegram to the BhK. ] Very little change to note In local financial affairs. The demand from nil sources was fair , nndttip supply sufllciont nt loanable rates of interest. Tno inquiry for accommodations was from miscellaneous branches of trade , and not very largo from nny particular interest. The movement of money to the Interior was moderately fice , and chiefly the corn nud oats sections of the west , Tlio commission houses forwarded considerable curicncy to their customers , and also received fair amounts of money loaned on grain during tlio autumn and winter months. Speculative trading in grain und provisions lias slackened to some extent , consequently there has been a lighter de mand for money from that quarter , though calls for margins wcio somewhat frequent. Shlppois of grain and piovisions borrowed very little money nnd mainly on very shoi t date papers. Packers aio virtually out of the market , as their i equipments nro not beyond their private means. Lumbermen presented some paper for discount , but their demands were not press ing nnd they wcro icadlly uccommodated. Wholesale merchants wcro moderate bor- rowcis , though mainly in the way of a slight extension of paper duo to rather slow col lection in some bcctions of the northwest. Hates of interest were steady and unchanged though rather favoi ing borrowers who w anted larger amounts than usual. Call loans were accepted nt fifr"J per cent , depending on the standing of the borrower. In eastern mar kets the supply of money is quite liberal larcely In excess of the demand , nnd borrow ers aio readily supplied ut low rates of inter est , ranging at 131'4 ' per cent on call and 4& r per cent on mercantile time paper. Ad vices from abroudlndioatcd a good supply of money in the IcaJjng banks , with no par ticular inquiry for loaus. . Bunk balances uro gradually increasing. The season for u gen eral slatkonlng of trade is approaching both this country and Kiropq ) , and the rcquiie- uients of most branches of business will bo lighter than at other seasons of the jcur.

The New York sUiJK'iimi ket exhibited con siderable activity darmgtho latter part of the week , but the feeling was somewhat un settled nnd pnces irregular E.uly in the week the market was inclined to quietness , with tiadingconlined largely to Wall sticet opeiators. Outside speculators were not in clined to give the market much attention und as the season is nppioachmg when the lead- ngoperutois take a vacation , prospects aie lotveiy favorable for nn aitlve businehi until the closu cil summer. The eainings of the railioadsuio fairly satisfactory , but opei ators nrogluncingahcad and anticipate lui- thcr decicase owing to the unsali ( factory condition of crops and thu disagreements among manugcis relative to fi eights. The action taken by the legal authorities of diftor- ont states regarding the equalisation of transpoitution charges nlbo had some effcit in an indiiect way. Trading dtmng the week was chtelly in specialties , Heading ai.d St Paul leading , und prices inled decidedly lower , In some cases reaching the lowest llgures In several years. Foioign operatots were not disposed to do much business and in most cases f.uoicd the soiling side of the market. The aggregate sales on the Now York stock exchange for the week weio l,4ibXX : ( > shares. In Chicago less activity was noticeable in speculative itircles dm ing the weuk and n nervous and unsettled feeling prevailed dur ing the greater portion of the time. There appeared to bo less interest manifested in the leading articles especially by parties who have been credited huietofoio with trading in large quantities Prices have lluctuutod considerably within n small iingo and favored buyers to ROIHO extent. Trading wus credited largely to local operators , oid- cr- > from outside patties bUng smaller m tlio uggiegato than duiing thu previous two or tin co weeks Advices from the growing crops were somewhat conllicting , though they were taking into consideration the backwaidness of the season. The National Ciop Itcport ind'c itcd lo than an nvci.igo yield of winterwheat und a lair yield of rye and barley. Spring-sown crops were ro- poi ted In good condition. The weather has been more favorable for growing crops , though some local complaints uro received of dunuigo by storms in some sections und drouth In others. Advices from abroad in dicate thut the crops uro somewhat back- wuids , and in some countries the yield ot the lending cereals will bo some what lighter than hm year. The arrivals of grain nt the principal western markets have been moderately free and shipments quite liberal , .noro particu larly fiom lake ports. The supplies of wheat , oats and barley have decreased , while the stocks of corn und r ) e uro some what enlarged. The arrivals of grain ut the seaboard were liberal , and the export movement - ment was fair , though considerably less than reported ono year ago , Foreign mar kets , as a rule , have .given shippers very little encouragement \ fcd prices Have exhib ited u further shriirtciiKiJ. Piovlsions have ruled rather quiet und dull with prices on a declining sculo in Jsyjnpathy with lower prices for hogs and grain.
