Cmctoo. June 110 [ Special Telegram to
Tun Bin.l : Whether the wheat In store
hero would or would not bo delivered out
next Monday was the question which most
Interested wheat traders today. The pre
vailing opinion was that it would bo de
livered , nnd In consequence the market dur
ing the early part of the RCslon was , 'cak
mid depressed , the extreme limits of the de
cline being % c from the opening price , but
evidently the short selling by scalpers was
overdone , as before the close all but ' c of
this decline had been recovered. This Is
true of ttio August delivery , which is the
truest guide to the marKct. The July
option again shifted In its relationship to
other futures , at ono time selling nt % c dis
count , at another at ' o premium. The
opening In .Tuly nnd August w.is the same ,
but nt the close July was ut } @ .j c discount.
Tlio reasons given for this were vartfcw.
Ono was that thcie was still such a great
ihort Interest In July that the longs were
holding and the shorts anxious to cover.
Another Unit the of " "
, owners "regular" ware
houses were bidding the price up so ns to
make carrying unprofitable for private ware
housemen , who , In order to deliver their
Wheat on contracts , must put it into "regu
lar houses , whoroti.v owners of the latter
could reap their reward. This would no-
count for the two deliveries selling for the
Biimo price but would fall to account for the
subsequent widening of the difference unless
the intended attempt mentioned had been
made and failed. Hulchlnson was again a
largo seller early in the day and the crowd
was following him. Cudnhy w.is a seller
early but bought wheat later. Public cables
wcio not significant hut there were said to be
some firmer private ones which brought buyIng -
Ing ordeis. An upturn Just before the close
was begun when Pool and Sherman began
buying some wheat presumably to cover
Bomo shorts , ns they were largo sellers yes
terday. This demand disclosed the fact that
there was no wheat for sale nt low prices
and that the scalping element was short.
Then there was something of a scramble.
At the same time it wan whispered about
that there would bo no great deliveries of
wt eat on Monday and that reports to that
effect had been nut m circulation by inter
ested parties simply to depress the market.
Then came n report of II boatloads taken for
export in Now York to-day and this induced
some buying. News came from Duluth
that 000,000 bushels of wheat had
been taken there for Huffnlo millers.
August wheat opened ut 71) ) ' c ami sold down
slowly , with few reactionsto Sc , advanced
to Tile , fell to 7b ( c , advanced to 70'4'c ' , fluc
tuated thereafter between that price and 7c ! ) ,

sold down to TS c , up to and closing nt ? > %
© rajfc. December \\he.it opened nt S'-c ,

The expectations of largo deliveries on
Monday also acted as a heavy weight on the
speculative corn market early in tlio session ,
and prices wclit down in spite of ttio fact that
receipts wcro the smallest of any day since
corn begun to come In to fill May contracts.
Tliero were 15 cais loss than oven the
moderate estimate of yesterday. The scalp
ing crowd was bearish nnd went too far with
short selling. When the small estimates
for Aloiulnv's ' receipts were made known and
n decrease of 1,000,000 bushels to 1SOOJO ! !
bushels was talked of , thcro was a hurraing
to cover short sales and the market ad-
vnnccd to opening figures again , but fell
"buck n little before the close. Hoyden & Co.
Vore buying July and soiling August. J. H.
Dutch & Co. , McCormick & Co. and Pndker
were selling , and Sw.irtz and Dupeo and
IJiildwin were buying. August corn opened
Iit4b c , sold nH'iJie , then down to ITc , up
to 18 'Hcng.iin , and closed at-tS'&o. Septem
ber corn opened atISj c , sold ut 4S(3 ( la ! ) ,
down toISc , and closed ntJS i-lbJjC.
In the speculative oats market , Hutchin-
BOII bought July Ireely early in the session ,
nnd that delivery advanced % e in cense
quence. but after tills buying stopped and
this advance was lost and the close to-day is
lower than yostciday for Juno deliveries.
July oats aliened at JJe ( ) , sold up to HO , ' < c ,
flown to y'.lj ' 'c nnd closed nt : ! 0l'c. ( , June oats
opened nt IIOo. sold up to DOJfc , down to nml
dosing at 2'.l' < c. August oats opened at X'dJ c ,
told down to.TJ < c and closed at 'Jtic.
Provisions received rather fair attention.
Ko increase was reported in outside tradim , ' ,
but chtiiigcs and tlio covering of contracts in
cidental to the closing of the month made the
pit coniparntivelv lively. In pork monthly
premium charged on changes was , as u rule ,
lOc nnd in lard Wii ( > lQj. On changes of July
ihort ribs to August luc was the premium
asked at the close , and for September , 1'Je.
In tlio general trade the feeling was moro or
less buirish , though the decline sufTcicd in
both pork and laid wns only 2l ( nr > e while
Ihort ribs wcro unchanged for deliveries
Inter than July which was 5o lower.

TUB Hr.n.l UVTTLE Uusiness was slow
from the opening to the closo. There were a
few lots of good natives curried over from
last night and they sold at the same as was
offered nt the close yesterday. Armour ,
Bwift and Hammond were not buying to any
firoat extent , and Morris wanted Toxans. It
Is said Morris bought ! i,000 Texans yester
day at very low prices , many going direct to
the distilleries for summer feeding. During
Hie week just closed values have fluctuated
considerably. The gain up to Thursday ,
In class above referred to , amounted to
25Si'ic. , ; That carried extra grades back
to JttOOgM.83 or to within ur > @ .10o
of the highest point yet reached. The heavy
supplies for Thursday and Friday turned the
market downward and it closed wcnk with
nil the curly advance lost leaving prices
about where they were a week ago. For
nnvthlng grading low , the market has been
dull throughout. Of low grade natives thcro
was not an oversupply , but such were berne
down bv the overwhelming Hood of
Toxans. The run of Texnns for the week Is
the largest on record and prices were the
lowest on record , and declined fully 60o all
round. Tlio largo proportion of the receipts'
were lit only for canning purposes , and
therefore met with but Httlo competition.

THE HEK.I STOCKS This lias been the
dullest week we have had on the block exchange -
change this year. Speculation was chiefly
contlnrd to room traders and transactions
etcadilv dwindled , and on several days foil
below 100,000 shares , The improvement
luudo In , and the promising outlook for
products of the soil is the one encouraging
feature of the situation to holders of stocks ,
ivnd this is looked forward to as the basis of
eventually restoring to the railways , truftlo
and prosperity. The uiircmuncrutlvo
character of the business of most of the
railways of the country ut prcsout , especially
in view of the Increased obligations which
they have made themselves liable to , Is
v generally admitted , but the hope Is rather
to the thought that the worst Is over and
thai an improvement will begin with the
tarvesUug of coming cro ; > , Lar o corporate
( llsburscmanta early Id July estimated at
fbOlOOO,000 , are also looked forward to ns n
stimulating clement ) although thcro Is no
scarcity of money.On tho. contrary | afgo
amounts of capital nro Idle because of the ,
dullness In mercantile business. The
government continues to buy from day to
dny such bonds ns nrc-oiTercd at fair prices.
These purchases on treasury np to this time
Aggregating about $23,000,009 , hnvo nbout
equalled the current surplus revenues of the
government nnd prevented further ac
cumulations. The Impossibility of maklncr
satisfactory Investments on the low current
rate of interest on call loans Is deterring
Investors from selling their railway shares ,
notwithstanding the prospects nro far from
encouraging for the continuation even of
present dividend rates. The western
situation has bccomo further complicated by
the radical reduction in rates by the "Soo"
nnd connecting lines , nnd by the determina
tion shown by some of the railway companies
to resist the demand of the commissioners
of the state of Iowa by appealing to the
courts for relief on the ground that the state
has exceeded its authority under the con
stitution or the United States in legislation
giving such nroltrnry power to the com
missioners. In the meantime , Nebraska and
Minnesota nro moving in the direction
nhcndy adopted by the state of Iowa. On
the trunk lines further reductions hnvo been
mntlo in rates on dressed beef nnd live stock ,
nnd the competition between the stronger
nnd weaker lines threatens not only to make
further reductions on these classes of freight
but to Involve many others. The market
to-day was tame , transactions being only
: j' ' ,2. i shares , Including 0,200 St. Paul , Bt)0 ( )
Northern Pacific preferred , 2 , : > 0 New
Knglaml and 2,200 Lake Shore. Tliero was
not n corporal's guard In attendance In the
exchange , and outside of the operations of
Charley Johns and n few other professionals
thcro was not enough done to deserve special
comment. The market opened strong and
fractionally higher. Union Pacific gained
psC , and for n short time led the list. Before
tlio ilrst hour elapsed a weakness set in nnd
the whole list sold off , declines extending to
5c and lust sales were at inside tigures. The
bank statement showed nn increase in loans
of $ H,2"ViUO , nnd nn Increase in deposits of
$1,780,000 , nnd u decrease in the reserve of
$752,175. Money Is so abundant and cheap
that the bunk statement cuts little llguro in
the market at picscnt.

Thcro was practically no cattle market
hero to-day. There were twenty-seven
fresh loads on sale , but only a few head of
cattle changed hands and not enough to call
It a market. The cattle tr.ulo is badly de-
moralbed , nnd it is safe to say that the mar
ket Is 25@(5c ; ( lower than on Thursday.
I Iocs.
The receipts were fair for the last dav of
the week. The market opened a little slow ,
but the hogs were all sold out in irood sea-
season. The general market was about
steady , although common mixed hogs sold in
some cases a shade easier. There were no
very choice heavy hogs here , although ono
load of J113-11) hogs was sold ut $5.45.

A STRANGE SAVAGE.
A Boy , Jtcoanso ol" Ills Love Kiulnrcs
Civill/.alion Nine Vent's.
Youth's Coniiinion ] ) : In Auatrnliti sev
eral attempts hnvo boon niiido to edu
cate the blneks out of their nomadic
habits and into a civlli/cd life , but in
almost every cnso tlio philanthropic ef
fort has fiiilod lo onulicate the instincts
of barbarism. Mr. Billion , in "Under
tlio Southern Cro s , " tells tbo romantic
story of one of these failures. A young
native , a lad of ton years , was taken
from his wild life and brought to
Brisbane to bo educated and
to prow nj ) in the home
of a white family. These un
paged in the experiment secured
the consent of tlio boy , of bis parents.
and of the tribe. They did their best
to make him comfortable and happy.
During nine years everything promised
success. At school lie proved an apt
scholar , and beemno a favorite with
pupils and teachers. Do was dressed
like bis associates , nnd s-cemcd o satis-
tied with u civilized life that many good
men and women looked forward to the
dav when ho would exert a strong and
bcnellcial inlhicnco upon his own pee
ple. Olio day , shortly after he had
p * sed his nineteenth birthday , ho was
mibsing from Brisbane. No one know
what had become of him wivo one young
lady , and she kept her knowledge to
herself. After months of bcnreh he was
found at his former home , living tlio
nomadic life of a miked savage. No in
ducement could prevail upon him to re
turn and live among his white friends.
AI hist there came out the romance
which royealcd the secret of the young
black's nine years' bojourn among the
whites of Brisbane. Ho had fallen in
love with the lovely daughter of the
white family with which ho made hi&
home. She reciprocated his attach
ment , for ho was a fine specimen of his
race , and her influence made
him studious and a sojourner
at her father's house. When
his hereditary feelings begat a longing
for the bush and a nomadic life she re
strained him from returning to his tribe.
At hist ho frankly told horlhathe loved
her too sincerely oven to .suggest that
she should go with him to his savage
homo , but that ho was unhappy nnd
restless nnd must seek his native wilds.
She had the good souse not to protest
against the separation , for ho would
not remain and she would not go. Ac-
ccepting the inevitable they purled ;
ho to live as a savage and she to die.
About Ginger Ale.
"About the worststull' mini over puts
into his system is the 'slop' culled do
mestic ginger ale , " said a plum spoken
barkeeper near tlio Cotton exchange tea
a Now York Telegram reporter the
other day. "There are a few brands
containing a trace of pure ginger , but ,
as a rule , ginger ale is a vile decoction
of cheap popper and bad water. "
Another Imrkemver opposite the Equit
able building qualified his remarks and
h.iid : "CJiugor ale is getting to bo moro
popular us a drink than soda water.
There am very few straight whisky or
brandy drinkers nowadays. Nearly
every ono calls for ginger ale with the
strong slu ft. It's surprising , too , how
the public is fooled , especially \\ith a
drin u so common. Three-fourths of the
so-called imported ginger nlo is made
right hero in Now York.
"The foreign bottles are refilled with
the domestic ginger ale , and not ono
man out of ton seems to know the il ill or
es neo if tliero is plenty of red popper in
it. In making ginger ale the extract
is mixed with pure sugar syrup. This
is diluted with water until tin ordinary
bottle contains only liftcen drops of
gingor. Two qualities only nro made.
The boat is for private use nnd lirst-
clas.i hotels , while the second grade iw
gold in cheap bar rooms and ico-cream

fested In locnl llnandal affair * ( luring tlio
week Just closed nml nn Increased business
was transacted by the loading bunking
bouto. Tlio demand for money exhibited
considerable improvement nnd bankers wcro
cnnblcd to plnco lneri'.i ed loans , though not
sunk-lent to absorb nil their available funds.
The scml-iitimml settling of accounts has en
livened business somewhat , nnd incrclinnts
in seine quarters ictutlred a Httlo assistance.
Tlio balances of county banks are gradually
increasing but this will probably bo only
temporary us the outflow of money will Rind-
ually increase us soon as the now crops in
the west begin to movo. Some paper has
been presented for renewal which had been
made by parties who own considerable grain
tit some of the lending western cities , which
they have concluded to hold on storage for
more favorable prices than nro now current.
A good ( lemiind for money 1ms pre
vailed from operators in grain and
provisions who anticipate rather fico de
liveries on July contracts. The amount of
money forwarded to the interior was modor-
ute not us largo as during the previous two
or three weeks ns the receipts of produce
have decreased consldeiiibly. Shippers of
grain and provisions were not Inclined to
borrow to nny extent. Lumbermen pre
sented very lIUlo for discount. Merchants
in the wholesale trade were moderate bor
rowers as they hnvo increased their col
lections somewhat and enjoyed quite an
active trade during the past t\v < > weeks.
Kates of interest were well supported at
fully former llgures , ranging Rftl.Vf per cent
for call and 5 } < fb per cent for time loans.
Eastern money markets show considerable
c.iaincss. Money is plenty and the demand
only fair nil blanches of business
being affected some by the mid
summer quietude : Interest easy at lljf
@ 12 per cent on call and U dtH per cent on
mercantile time papers , llopoits from
European financial centers indicate nn easy
feeling in that quarter with a mntoilul in
crease in b.mk balances. The demand for
money is light and rates of intercut favoring
borrowers.
New York exchange w.is In fair supply
during the past week and the demand was
brisk. Tlio semi-annual interest on railroad
and municipal bonds is payable in eastern
markets at the opening of .Inly and ofllemU
weic in the market for lound lots. Early in
the week sales weiemude at 2 > o discount
? 1,000 , but n firmer feeling prevailed later
and nrlces advanced to 75e premium per
SI,000. and the market closed rather ilrm.
Foreign exchange was rather quiet mid few
tiansactionscioieported. . Offerings were
light and the demand limited. Shipper's
sixty days documentary bills on London
changed hands at ? 4.b5 ( < i4.s5-tf : and closed

TlieNowYoik stock market was unusu
ally quiet. Outside speculators and ioreign
dealers in stocks were not inclined to do
much business and the gi eater portion of the
tuulingwas ciedited to Wall sticot opeia-
tors. Changes in prices were confined with
in a nn row range and tliero wcro no import
ant features presented winch had much in
fluence on the course of the market. The
earnings of the lending railroads were fair
for the season of tlio year , yet the prospects
of a rate war among the trunk lines , the re
duced rates of tieights established by law in
some of the western slates and the reduc
tions made in other sections to correspond
with them , have tended to depress the mar
ket in n general way , not so much in the way
of reducing pr-ces as m checking business.
Tlio crop outlook is regarded as favorable for
good business by the leading western roads
and the trunk lines , yet thcro is little dispo
sition manifchted to purchase stocks
on this Minpoit. Trading during the week
was mainly in specialties , St. Paul , Heading
and Lake Shore leading , The iiggicgato
sales on the New Yoik stock exchange for
tlio week were tJliO.OOO shui cs.
The produce markets were a little more at
tractive to the speculative element during
the past week , and an increased business
was leported. An unsettled feeling prevailed -
vailed during the gi eater portion of tlio time
and prices fluctuated considerably , and on
the whole leached a lower level on most of
the leading aitides. It was apparent that
tliero was more inclination on the part of
shoit interest to enlarge their lines , and tliero
was considerable reuli/ing by longs which
ucro the leading influences which tended
to a reduction in prices. The receipts
of grain at the principal western
markets were fair tuid shimnents moderately
free , moroespecially Irani InKe ports. Eastern
markets have exhibited considerable weak
ness and adviics from abroad wcro less
favorable to sellers , notwithstanding the fact
that the supply of bread stuffs is gradually
inn casing. Keports from the harvest Holds
ami glowing ciops are a little moro favorable
for n better yield , though HOIIIO damage
locally has been sustained bv storms. Ad
vices from abroad indicate that crops arc
backward in most countries and that tlio
yield of wheat and rye will not equal that of
last jcar. The visible supply exhibited -
hibited n further reduction In all
kinds of grain excepting corn and
the outlook is rather favorable for a
fuither reduction. The export movement ,
was rather light , though somewhat larger
than reported dining the week previous.
Provisions have ruled rather weak , In sym
pathy with the decline in prices of grain and
the prospects of an increased supply being
reported at the close of the month. The ar
rivals of live stock were moderately free at
all the principal western points. Tlio pack
ing of the west is progressing moderately ,
and the number of hogs slaughtered to dnto
IK somewhat under the returns for the same
time last season.
TWO OLD ECCENTRICS.
One Had a Peculiar Mngo mid llui
Oilier Died on time.
Old Undo Kb Thomas , who nourished
in Tumor , just on tlio edge of Hartford ,
about twenty-five yours ngo , says the
Lewiston ( Mo. ) Journal , \\iw a quaint
old school master. In liin palmy tlayb
Knelo Kb was reckoned ono of tlio fore-
moit bchool masters of Maino. Ho made
tlio most peculiar anil original use of
the king's English in ordinary conver
sation , yet ntthosamo time was a noted
professor of grammar. Ho could teach
grammar in school , but out , of school ho
was hardly over known to speak a
grammatical sentence. One day this
pedagogue WIIB talking with a stranger
about popular education. Ho intimated
that lie was * a district school teacher ,
and finally the gentleman inquired in a
complimentary sort of a way , if lie really
was in the habit of Instructing the
Maine youth. "C'om-tructing olmpV
said Uncle Kb , ' 'I should bay ] did. I
hnvo always touchnd hchool , and a very
diabolical bohool , too , Thihury afternoon -
noon I am going to put on my clarionet
pantaloons ( moaning satinet pantalooiib )
and shall go down and get reprobated
( moaning recommended ) . Depend upon
it , I blmll keep a very diabolical school
if J got reprobated. "
The fact was that Uncle Kb's school
was ono of the heat disciplined in An-
droscoggin county. At ono tune he
made a good deal of tall : about building
a houfco in Turner , and in it ho way
going to have "twenty-four double
spangled doors and the corn-house
boards garnished. " Ono winter his
wife wab taken suddenly ill , and Uncle
Kb rushed to the doctor and said1 : ;
Doctor , my wife ifa irrecoverably hick
1 want you to make hUbte with all pos
, dclny , for I expect that in her cftso
every moment will bo her no\t. "
On ono occasion , during the halcyon
days'of liia schoolmnstcivhip , n , little
trouble was brewing in Uncle Sain'a
navy , ami news caino to the cdgo of
Hartford that there were some fears of
nn Insurrection * Undo Kb refused to ,1
pay hia poll-las on account of these ,
rilinors , nnd said ho : "I am going to
spend my money to help support the
nnverv atid to put down the resurrec
tion.
tion.Tho greatest Mnino-born graminntlftti
once lived at Rumford , just above the
great rocks where the water pitches
over uumford fulls. Ho is said noVcr
to have written or spokun n sentence
after ho was fifteen years old which wa.3
not grammatically correct. Many pee
ple. In Hum ford well recollect Thomas
Irish , the old-fashionod teacher in nn-
clont district school houses. Some time
before his death , Hrown , the author of
Hrown's grammar , spent several dnj'8
with this great Humford scholar , listen
ing to the roar of Humford falls and ab
sorbing Grammarian Irish's line points.
In ono edition of Brown's grammar can
bo found foot-notes on dilllcult con
structions , etc . , edited by Thomas Irish ,
of Humford. Like tunny men of goi.lus . ,
ho was a "peculiar chap , " : is they say.
If ho mot you on the street In it dry
time of year ho invariably said : "Tho
sounding of the grinding is low. Tlio
pitcher may as well bo broken at the
fountain. " 'Ho always had a peculiar
dislike for doctors and drugs nnd rarely
could DO pursimdud to take the mildest
kind of medicine when ho was on the
slolc bed. Several .years before hia
dentil ho experienced a very severe Ill
ness. The doctors told him that his llfo
depended on his Keeping quiet in hod.
for at least n month. Mr. Irish fretted
nbout his potatoes and turnips on a sick
bed for about \\ook. . when one day as
the physician culled , the patient waa
not to bo found. They hunted high
nnd low. nnd finally found the gram
marian liooing potatoes in the Held in
his night robe. Ho was finally prevailed -
vailed upon to go back to bed ana taUo
n sweat , but ho positively refused to boo
the doctor again.
And when the man with the medicine
chest stopped into his room to ask if ho
was comfortable , ho thus saluted him :
"No more of your nauseating , Illthy
drugs , sir. If I rally it will bo from
the bounties of my woll-nprend tablo. "
He partially recovered from his illness ,
and one day meeting hia old doctor on
the street told him that it was no use ,
ho was worn out , and it was time for ?
him to puna in his chocks. The doctor
cheered him up as best ho could , and
said"Oh , no. Tom ; you're good for
. " "Do think ? "
two years yet. you BO ,
asked Mr. Irish. " 1 certainly do. " re
plied the doctor. "Well , then , I suppose
poseyou're right , and I'll do as you
say , " saiti thomas Irish , and ho drove
oil wh'stling ' "Yankee Doodlo" . Exactly
two. ears from that day ho lay on his
death-bod , and looking into his physi
cian's face said : "You gave mo a two-
years' life lease after 1 thought I had
given the old ship up , and T'vo taken it.
The two yours are ended to-day , and I
can't stny any longer. " Ami tlius thia
eccentric man died.

The opportunity finally ottered itself
in the shape of the arrival at Sitka ,
early in April of the present year , ol
Joseph BoscowiU , a wealthy capitalist ]
of Victoria , 15. C. . and owner of the six
