A Oootl ShnwIriK of Strength AVlt- nciscd In Provision TnullnR An Active I ) cm anil For Good Cattle Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS. CHICAGO , August 9. [ Special Telegram to TUB BBS. ! Wheat prices inclined downward - ward to-day , though the decline was not Im portant , viewed from a purely mathematical tand point , only amounting to > { @ % o. The news was bullish for the moat part. The foreign markets wore quoted as strong and higher on unfavorable harvest wcuthor , and advices from the spring wheat country chronicled too much rain there. The de mand for cash wheat is still urgent , but the table of receipts and shipments at principal points la beginning to tell the story of accu- niulutlng supplies at the nrincipal centers. This circumstance had a depressing effect on the market , ns it also had on speculation as to the contents of the government report duo to-morrow. The prevailng opinion wa * that the government bulletin would bo ex ceptionally favorable , not only to wheat , but other crops as well , all foreshadowing a year of extraordinary agricultural prosperity. The usual story was afloat that a digest of the agricultural department's finding hud been obtained by a Wall street house with Intimate Chicago connection , but this could not bo verified in any paitlcular , and was voted a canard. The Farmer's Review's 165,000,000 bushel spring wheat ostl mate , though a trifle stale , came In for more unfavorable criticism , and the verdict reached on tnat matter was that the Review's statistician was a more Idle guesser working on insufficient data. Then a wild rumor Held the lloor for a whllo that some indefinite authority had discovered that the threshing returns clearly indicated a winter wheat crop fully twice as largo a ? had been commonly figured. This was filed away like the other news tld bits and for gotten. Not so the reports that circulated among the best informed men on the board that foreigner * wore buying heavily in Chicago cage , St. Louis and Duluth for August and Boptcmbor shipment. This wns ono of the Important news features of the day , but owing to its limited circulation , chiefly among the non-speculativo classes , but llttlo effect was produced on prices. How much has already boon bought for foreigners thcro is no present means of knowing , but largo orders continue to come in daily to buy Au gust or September "for shipment. " Possibly it is this knowledge that keeps Hutchlnson a bull when nearly all the speculative element is bearish or weak in their friendship for wheat. Open ing trades were on a basis of TO TG o for August , 7 < 5GXc for September , 78c for December , and St o for May. August worited up to 76c , December to 7S ? o ( just touched ) , and Alay to Sijfc. . Thereafter until nearly the closa tno market dragged and drooped , and but for Hutchinson's sup port of December at and under 7Sc tlio wbolo list would nave most probably gone consid erable lower. As it was , August got to 7C ) o. September to TUc , December to 77Jfu , ana May to 82 } c. There was a fractional recov ery at the end , August closing at Ttf c , Sep tember at 703 < c , and December at "So. May loft off at the bottom 82Ko. The corn market was dull and featureless , but loaning slightly towards lower prices. Fluctuations were narrow and outside busi ness scarce. The main support to tbo mar ket was as it has boon for some time back a good demand from shippers for the cash offerings. Cables , which have almost uni formly for months favored the bulls , wore discouraging to-day. Scalpers were the chief bidders , but oven they wore not inclined to do much. September opened at S5rR35J ; ( < c , declined to 85 @ 35c , sold at 35 and closed at 35 > a. Oats were active and weaker to . lower. There was a good demand , but thn heavy receipts , coupled with the estimated arrivals for to-morrow of 405 cars , called out liberal offerings. No. 2 white oats for near deliveries wore active , with August at 24 } c und September at 24o to a4 @ 34 o. MUV oats sold down to 24) ) 0 and September to SO&o. Withdrawals from store wore small and a fair trade was noted in car lots of No. 2 , chiefly to go to store nt 20j o , or tfc decline. The feature of the trade was the reported demand at Now York for oats for export. Business was restricted , however , as ocean vessel room was scarce and and freights in terfered with the movement. In provisions n good showing of strength was witnessed. Larger receipts of hogs than wcro expected made the boars n llttlo agres- slvo around the opening , but their rule was only temporary. The depression forced by their selling was short-lived , and on tbo sub sequent recovery prices advanced to a level higher than that existing previous to the break. In the general range the underlying fooling was certainly strong. Operators adhered closely to their late policy in trad ing. In all departments , however , quite a good business was transacted. For cash de livery 3,050 tierces of lard changed hands at tfl.35@6.45 und also a fair amount of meats. A sale of 100,000 pounds of 10-1 b. green hams , to bo delivered in November and Dccombor , was reported at $7,00. A car load of 10-lb. sweet pickled hams wore also sold for Sep tember delivery at OJ c. The speculative in terest developed Jwus again confined to Sep tember , October and January. Compared with yesterday' * final prices , pork at the clone of change stood unchanged to 5c higher and short rlba unchanged to 7 > o higher. C111OAGO JU1VB 8TOOR. CHICAOO , August 9.

[ Special Telegram to Tun HKE.J STOCKS The boars did nl la their power last night to convince UK trade and the public , by dispatches , that tin bulge in railway stocks was the result o ; manipulation for the purpose of fixing thi market to sell on , and was not duo to the ao tlon ot the shorts , as It appeared at the time They also figured that further gold ship ineuta are probable because ot the advano ( of the Hank of England rate and the with drawal of bullion to Franco.

The market was nbont as dull and unsatis factory as could well bo Imagined. The re ceipts wore very light , only forty-five fresh loads being In the yards , but late In the af ternoon , after the market had closed , a U. & M. train which had been delayed arrived , swelling the total considerably above that. The buyers were very Indifferent nnd did not appear to care whether they secured any beeves or not , oven nt n decline. Still there was some trading In cattle that did not look any lower than yesterday , nnd some natives sold at $1.10 , and there wcro a few loads at $3.90. Thcro was ono small bunch good enough to bring $4.85. Cow stuff moved slowly , and only a tow head changed hands. To-day's supply of feeders nnd stookors con sisted largely of seventeen cars of westerns and a few native holdovers. The demand was pretty fair , and a good share Of the of ferings wore cleaned up before the closo. Units. Light nnd medium weight hogs wcro In good demand and the market was actlvo and a shade strontrur. A largo proportion of the light hogs sold at $4.15 , with a few nt W.12K. The shippers were the principal buyers of the light and medium weights. They did not want the heavy weights , and all the reg ular packers would offer was S4.00 , or 5o lower thau yesterday. Salesmen did not feel Juatillccl in giving up that much , and after nil the other hogs had boon sold the heavies still huntr flro , and it was late before they were all sold. Tlio receipts of hogs wcro light for the same reason that there wcro only a few cattle here , the 13. & M. trains did not arrive in time for the market. llcooipts.

It is learned that the company is not a domesticated Institution , having failed to lllo articles of incorporation as required by law. The attorney Koneral apprehends no dlOlculty , however , but his stipulations will nslc that the bed of the road shall not only bo abandoned , but that the lands and grants shall revert bacit to the proper own ers.

It maybe of interest to Ohio soldiers now residing in Nebraska to state that the adju tant general has recently received the of ficial roster of the state of Ohio , the fruit of seven years' labor and research , and that It can bo scon at his ofllco at the state house.

HEADQUIUTERS , DnpAttTMcNT NEBRASKA , GR\XI > AUMY or THE RfociiLic.OFFICE OP ASSISTANT AOJUTANT BSEIIAL , LINCOLN , Neb. , July 31 , 18S9. Comrades : The time for the annual monting/of-tho / twenty-third national encampment of ttlq Grand Army of the Republic Is fast approaching. When at the last national encampment , hold at Co lumbus , O. , it was decided 'to ' hold the en- camomcnt for this year'at ' Milwaukee , every assurance was given that transportation rates , and accommodations , and preparations generally , should equalfif- not surpass and eclipse , any that had nreceUeil. At our last annual meeting of the iiatiqnul encampment u rate of 1 cent per jWiiojwas granted , and this rate was confidently expected to be made for this year , thereby making it possi ble , by thus bringing the expense of trans portation down , for many of our old soldiers of limited moans to greet their old comrades once more around the blazing cauip- fire , and again renew the strong ties of friendship that a quarter of a century ago were welded In the flro of bat tle. The denial of this 1 cent per mile rate was the cause of much disappointment and dissatisfaction , and with a view of securing the desired rate , a meeting of department commanders was held at Chicago , July 2 , 18S9. at which were present commanders from Indiana , Illinois , Iowa , Kentucky , Michigan , Missouri , Minnesota and Ne braska. They called upon the representa tives of the raUroad companies to fix the rate at 1 cent par mile on or before the 10th inst.r assuring them that if they failed , so to do , the department commanders , then assem bled , would officially recommend to posts and comrades of their several departments that only members and representatives of the na tional encampment attend at Milwaukee. Your department commander united in this movement in the firm belief that it was rea sonable and just , and was actuated solely with tbo honest desire to best subserve the interests of the comrades ot this department. The time having passed , and our requests not having been grunted , your commander , in accordance with his agreement with the other department commanders , recommends the attendance only of the delegates and offi cial members at the Milwaukee encampment. This request is made with deepest regrets , knowing it will cause disappointment to many , especially the old Wisconsin veterans DOW living in this department ; but a proper respect for myself , and my pledge of good faith to my- associate commanders , thus makes mo unable to repay the comrades and citizens of Milwaukee who bavo done and are still doing so much towards making the encampment a success.
