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.

The market was nbont as dull and unsatis

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.

Light nnd medium weight hogs wcro In
good demand and the market was actlvo and
a shade strontrur. A largo proportion of the

The shippers were the principal buyers of
the light and medium weights. They did
not want the heavy weights , and all the reg

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

John R. Cftsoy , gonornl counsellor of tbo
Chicago , Milwaukoo& St. Paul Railroad
comunny , Is soomlngly Inclined to crawfish.
It Is doubtless fltlll in mind thnt bo wrote to
Attorney General Loose n letter , Quito re
cently , stating thnt the company ho repre
sents would abandon the grade between
Niobmrn , Knox county , and Atkinson , Holt
county , without necessitating lofral action
and asked for stipulations tending thereto.
Under date of August 0 , Mr. Casey again
writes !
"Inotolnmy letter ot Augusts , that I
state 'wo hereby do abandon the prado mndo
by this company In your state , ' but I deslro
to withdraw that statement and my loiter
would then read ; This company ha * aban
doned the Idea of constructing the road once
contemplated from Mlobrara , in your state ,
and Is willing to abandon the grade made by
1U" But ho goon on to state thnt stipulations
'
'are desirable unu that the board of directors
will pass upon any reasonable demands thut
may bo made. The Inference Is that the
action of the board will bo favoraulo provid
ing the stipulations nro within reasonable
ness from the standpoint of the Interests of
the roud. 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.
Ihc Ohio Hosier.
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.
It is in nine volumes and shows the name ,
company and regiment of every soldier that
Ohio furnished for the war , besides other
valuable information. This announcement
is of double interest owing to ttio fact that
this state has a roster of resident citizens
that Ohio furnished. Old soldiers can find.
other Items of historical interest at the capl-

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. Fraternally ,
J. B. DAVIS ,
Department Commander.

one of the men intimately connected with

the published report that there may be a

Bupt. PoBt-p on the Quarantine.
Reading Governor Thavcr's communication
in regard to quarantining the state against
diseased Cattle , Superintendent A. C. Foster ,
of Swift & Co.'s packing houses , said : "Tho
few cattle shipped here from Kansas City
do not amount to anything as fur as the
packing interests are concerned. If there bo
Texas fever in tbo Kansas City yard it is In
finitely better for all to have the quarantine
established ttlan to disease or even 'endanger
the stock of this state , but I think the quar
antine has been established on light founda-
tton but perhaps the governor was influenced
by interests not generally known.
