It Was a Wild Day in Wheat with Pricca

GHICACJO , Juno 8. It was a wild day In
wheat , with prices rushing frantically up
and down In long jumps , Influenced on the
ono hand by higher cables nnd buying , and
on the other by liberal Belling. Trading
was very heavy , . nnd July closed with a
naln of 2V4c. Corn closed lo higher , oats
2c higher , nnd provisions at a slight de
cline.
The wheat market opened with Irom 1 to
IVlo advance nnd soon sold down from % c
to % c , rallied from lc to l'.4c , eased off
% c , then advanced 1' c , nnd closed strong.
The cables were a llttlo mixed , but gener
ally higher , early public ntlvlccs quoting spot
firm and ' /jd higher , and futures up from
3/4d to % d. Outside business was heavy and
and the market continues to broaden , New
York being a heavy buyer. There was a
rumor that the Missouri atato reports showed
a falling oft In the condition ot 12 points
during May , and this caused a good deal of
excitement , but Inter In the day was an
nounced nt 79 , ngalnst 87 last month , n
decline ot 8 points. Around the top prices
of the day a great deal of long wheat came
out , the Washington forecast of rain In
Kansas and the northwest causing holders
to unload. Wheat changed hands rapidly
In largo quantities , a feature of the trading
being buying by I'ardrldge , who has been a
prominent bear. The fluctuations wcro fre
quent and sharp.
There was a heavy trade In corn , fluctua
tions covering from lo to lic range. The
market was strong on an urgent demand
and scarcity of offerings. '
Oats continued Its sensational advance ,
being very strong within lc limits. Un
favorable crop reports wore the bull feature.
1'rovlslons were very dull nnd slightly
lower on selling by packers. The advance
In wheat kept the market steady. Com
pared with last night July pork Is 2 > ,4c
lower ; July lard 5c lower , nnd July ribs un-
changed.
Lake rales are steady at lc for corn and
lUc for oats to Buffalo.

MINNEAPOLIS , June 8. The local wheat mar
ket today was active and advnnclnB. There
nppcared to be no heavy lines cither boUBht or
sold , but traders were actively engaged In chang
ing from one sidetD imother , with nn nggicgnte
of larfio business. I'rlcea nt the opening were
nt nn advance of Tic. and at that prlco there ap
peared to bo ft desire on the part of IOIIBS to
realize. After the first rush buying again be
came steady , prices advanced gradually , con
tinuing with moderate tluctuntlons until near the
close , when there wns an ndvanc of ftc from thj
opening and about ITic for the d.iy. The cause
back of the rise was the unmi- that created the
advance on preceding dajs bad irop reports from
the southwest nnd some sensationally bad re
ports , particularly from Kansas. Cables Indi
cated n ilose sympathy with the advance In
this country , which still furlh. ; prompted the
rise. The weather throughout t' o northwest Is
dry , and the feeling was that If rains In the near
future do not relieve the condition a
further advance may be Induced frpm the situa
tion. The receipts from farmers , which have
been very liberal for the past week or two , nre
reducing largely , and are not now moro than G )
per cent on then \ erase of what they wcro one
week ago. Considerable of the wheat that has
been coming In has been repotted ns grain two
years old , which would Indicate that the bins
nre pretty well cleaned out of the last crop.

NDW YORK , Juno 8. There was a fairly
active and strong market today on the Stack
exchange , despite the ( net that the tone of
speculation was decidedly weak at the openIng -
Ing and rather easy at the close. Nor was
It until after midday that the upward move
ment gained force , for the opening waa
heavy and lower , and the trading up to noon
was without decided character. After 12
o'clock the temper ot the speculation under
went a change , a good buying movement
was Inaugurated , and prices moved slightly
upward. A leading factor was the ndvanca
In the grain market , and thcro wcro special
favorable- Influences affecting Individual
stocks. . In the late dealings the market
weakened slightly on realizing sales and
closed easier , with most of the active shares
higher than at the close ot yesterday. Sugar

lower , at 105U , receding an additional J/j
per cent , recovering % per cent , receding
Vi per cent , rallying 1 % per cent , declining
' ,5 to 1U per cent , and closing within %

tled.Rvcnlng 1'ost's London cablegram says :
The stock markets were Idle today and dull ,
Americans had a disappointing set back. The
grangers were weak. Fear Is expressed
hero that the passage of the tariff bill will
como too late to effect a material Improve
ment In the American trade for the present
year. Argentines wcro the only cheerful
spot In today's market. The gold premium
was down to 299. Silver was Ilrm. It Is be
lieved that much of China's purchases really
go to India. Seventeen lakhs of special
counsel drafts were sold today up to 13d ,
The gold arrivals here show signs of slacken
ing. The rumored dinicultles of a largo
wheat operator hero are untrue.
The Kvenlng Post says : Decidedly the
most Important financial Incident today wns
the grain market's advance. This movement
continued at a rapid pace today , the ad
vance over the recent loir level having al
ready surpassed the movement at the close
of March , whoso Influence on railway secur
ities waa striking. It Is altogether probable
that the market for securities will for a
time nt least bo governed by the course of
grain. The Influence of the recent declines
In commercial prices has been none the less
certain on securities because It has not
been always brought forward as n factor ,
and of all these commercial movements the
decline In wheat has been the foremost In
fluence.

FRIDAY , Juno 8.
Ilccclpts of all kinds wcro rather liberal
today , 320 cars In all. The flvo days' re
ceipts show an Increase of nearly 2,000 cattle
tlo , l.COO hogs and 2,000 sheep over supplies
for the corresponding period last \veek.
Moro cattle wcro sold than have been
hero on any ono day tor nearly thrco weeks
and the receipts Included lots ot good to
choice beeves. Prices have gene up pretty
rapidly this week , and the dressed beef men
looked on the liberal offerings today as n
good opportunity to play oven. They accord
ingly started out bidding considerably lower
prices , but In the meantime speculative ship
pers and outsldo butchers wcro not Idle , and
although early sales wcro at steady to a
shade easier prices , there was a reasonably
brisk movement , and when the moat bearish
buyers got ready to trade a good share ot the
desirable cattle had changed hands. Buying
then became general , and ns Chicago was
reported stronger , late trading was brisk
and at full strong prices. The wind up was
early and at the best figures of the day.
Cows and mixed stock wcro In rather
liberal supply today , and while good to choice
stock was In fair demand nnd firm , the
common and canning grades gold slowly nnd
nt low prices. The calf market was de
moralized , dull and 75c to $1.50 lower than
ten days ago. Hough stock of all kinds
sold at about steady prices.
A fair amount of business was transacted
In stockers and feeders and on the basis of
about steady prices. The supply was small
and the demand limited. Most of the tradIng -
Ing was at from $2.75 to $3.25. Good to
choice feeders are quoted at $3.10@ > 3.40 ; fair
to good at .SOffS.OO , the commoner grades
at from $2.80 down. Representative sales :
Diiissno IHEF.
HOGS Supplies keep up well , and so do
prices. There wore nearly 10,000 hogs hero
today , the quality was very good , and the
market active at steady to a shade stronger
prices. The demand was good from all
iources and trade ruled lively right from
: ho Jump off. Heavy and butcher weight
logs had a shade the best of It , but the
ranga of prices was narrow. The heavier
; rados sold largely at ft.50 to $4.55 , and the
Ight and mixed loads mostly at * 4.4R to
11.50. Prime heavies sold up to $4.CO , and
several of the commoner loads of pigs sold
down around $4.35 and $1.40. The pens wore
cleared in good season , the bulk ot the hogs
soiling ht $4.50 nnd $4.55 , ngalnst $4.50 yes
terday and $4.55 ono week ago today. Rep

CHICAGO , Juno 8. Not a * many cattla ar
rived today as had been expected. There were
about 6,000 head , malting the supply for the ex
pired part of the week scarcely more than 1.000
hnid greater than for tins.imo time last weok.
Though apparently not as urgent as for a few
days of last week early sales were active and
st-IIcrs wrro not required to give up any part
of the advance they had earlier In the week.
Cloud to best fed enltlfl jjold quick at Thursday's
quotation ! * , and grain cattle were a little slow
nnd loner. Sales were on n bnsfs ot from Jl 25
to $3 for Inferior to extra. Il waa 11cry poor
article that had to sell below } 2.23. and It took
something very superior to hrln , ? more than
JI.83. The prevailing price * were from $2.30 to
$3.50 for cuvvs , heifers and hull * , nnd from 11.25
to $1.73 for steers Stockers and feeders received
but little attention. The calf market w.n firm.
The hog tr.nlo was quiet tod.iy , and prices were
weak and unevenly lower. Heavy nnd medium
weights received th" principal nttniitlon of the
buyers , and sold within 5c tier W ) ll . of yester
day's prices , or on a basis of SI 80 for prime.
Light frradPH were dull at a reduction of from
Co to lOc. Few of the latter sold above $1.61 , the
inline prices being from $1 4 > to $1.53. Some
very decent lots changed hands nt ( t 40 ,
and 14.31 was accepted for poorer grades. The
bulk of thi ! heavy hogs brought from $4.70 to
SI.SO. There was a better feeling toward the
close than al the opening of business but the
morning's Ios wns not recovered.
The sheep market \MU dull and unencoiiraglng.
The eastern and middle ptntci nro now turning
off n good many sheep , and the demands upon the
west nro less than it other stages of the season.
It follows , therefore , that unlcts there 1s n
diminution In receipts prices mint suffer. They
have already suffered , being from 25e to 60c
lower than a week ago. nnd fiom 50c to 75c lower
than n fortnight ato. Choice muttons may now
be had at from S3.71 to S3.90. I'linn these llBurci
prices range dovvnwaid to from SI.50 to $2 for
thin stuff.lYeaiUngs nnd spring lambs show cor
responding declines , the best ot the former hav
ing fallen to $4.23 , and S3 being the best mark
for spring Iambi. Texas sheep are not yet ar
riving very freely. Those offered were generally
rather common , nnd sold nt pHces ranging down
ward from S3.63.

review of. Irndo says : The outlook fi-r Ims-
Inesa seems n llttlo better on the whole
though the Itnprovcincnt Is not great. More
over , It U Impossible to distinguish between
mere replacement of orders cancelled for
want of fuel or oilier causes , nnd the now
business for which works nro nnxlousi )
looking. It Is somewhat cncour.tKliiR that
the ( locriMuo In payments through the clear

week of Juno , 27.2 nt Now York , but enl >
19.1 clsouhoro. The decrease , In comturlson
with 1S92 , Is nboilt 30 per cent. Hallroad
tonnnRo Is larger than n year UKO In live
stock and moderate In cereals , but cle\rl >
smaller In coal nnd Iron products anil In
other manufactured foods westbound. Spec
ulation In products IMS turned toward higher
prices , nnd wheat lias risen C cents , with an
official state report of Injury In Kaunas ,
which Is highly flavored , even for farmers'
alliances. The actual receipts at woitcrn
ports hnvo been 1,147,092 bushels , against
2,318,391 last year , and the Atlantic cxpoits
are only 911,398 bushels , ugalnst 2,253,955
last year. Corn rose 2'i cents , partly In
mere sympathy , but principally with more
substantial accounts of Injury , the \\estern
receipts having boon 2,803.459 bushels ,
agilnst 3,515,291 last year. 1'ork products
were unchanged , and cotton Is steady , with
slemlcr receipts , In splto of the ducllno In
exports nnd visible stocks hero and In
Europe , amounting to 2,37C,441 bales , against
2,771GS7 last year , moro than enough to sup
ply the world's requirements for four months.
According to the estimate of the Finan
cial Chronicle the acreage this year
Increases 669,000 , or 3.7 per cent , Indicat
ing a larger crop with favorable weather.
With only 2,937 coke ovens working and
14.57C Idle , with the Cambria discharging
half Its force nnd sovcn out of nine of the
Carncglo furnaces at Bessemer out of blast ,
the production of Iron and steel Is smaller
than at nny tlmo for years. While It Is
believed deferred work will cause heavy
production after the strike Is tormlnatcd the
demand for products Is at present much
below general expectations , oven In the cast.
Other Industries have been less affected , but
many of the mills even In New England have
been closed for lack of fuel.
The sales of wool In the past five weeks have
been 16,919,498 pounds nt thrco chief mar
kets , against 12,975,000 pounds last year and
26,798,150 In the same wefts of 1S92. Manu
facturers nro greatly embarrassed by scanti
ness of orders , nnd It Is apprehended that
quantities of goods made abroad In expecta
tion of a reduction In duties by this tlmo
may bo forced upon this market.
The returns of failures are still encourag

NEW YORK , Juno 8. nradstreet's tomor
row , Juno 9 , will say :
Nearly all the unfavorable business con
ditions of the past three weeks continue to
exercise an Influence. The few exceptions
where Improvement Is noted are of espe
cially local Importance. Tra lo at many cen
ters has been Interfered with by unfavor
able weather and by further restrictions of
the purchasing power of thousands of wage
earners , but also by further Industrial
trouble , or by shrinkage In production.
Business failures do not Increase materially ,
the total bolng 107 , compared with 183 last
week , 293 In the same week a year ago
( when the commercial and financial disturb
ance was beginning to make Itself felt ) , and
163 In the samp week two years ago. The
seesaw of prices at present tips Into oppo
site direction this week , most strikingly In
cereals , oats having advanced 5 % cants ,
wheat 3 % , and corn 1 % ; potatoes are 20
cents higher , bar Iron and pg ( Iron are up
sharply at St. Louts and live stock nt Kansas
City. Lard Is fractionally higher. Con
spicuous in the Increases In prices of staples
reported are leather and wool , duo to
heavy receipts. Coffee Is off % cent. At
larger eastern centers there Is no Improve
ment In general business. Now England
cotton mills continue to produce In excess
of the demands.
There Is llttlo that Is far reaching attend
ing evidences of Improvement reported from
the west. At Louisville there Is more de
mand for groceiles , and the leaf tobacco
market Is quiet but active , a good business
being reported. There Is more doing
among jobbers In hardware at Chicago , al
though Interior merchants tributary to that
market have not begun to buy In advance
of actual needs , and on the ether hand the
spread of the coal strike Is checking busi
ness there. Available wheat In the United
States , Canada and afloat decreased more
than 10,000,000 bushels last month , against
an average decrease In the months of May
In five preceding years of about 6,000,000
bushels each. Five months decrease of
domestic and Canadian wheat stocks In 1894
show a high average compared with like
portions of preceding years. Notwithstand
ing these exhibits Dradstrcet's returns point
to an accumulation In the United States
and Canada ot 80,000,000 bushels of wheat ,
only 85,000 bushels less than on Juno 1 a
year ago , and twice or thrco times as much
as was so held In Juno In several preceding
years. Exports of wheat. United States
and Canada , both coasts , for the week endIng -
Ing Juno 7 , equal 2,742,000 bushels , against
2,100,000 In the preceding week , 3,010,000
bushels In the same week a year ago , and
3,052,000 bushels In the like week of 1892.
Special telegrams from leading trade cen
ters throughout the Canadian Dominion
have continued to grow somewhat more un
favorable from week to week within a
month. The number of business failures
In the Dominion this week la thirty-seven ,
against thirty-six last week , thirty-six In
the same week a year ago , and thirty-four
In the same week the year before that.

Kloiml l.lemeut nnd Short Interest * .
NEW YOHK , Juno 8. Qradstreet's Finan
cial Itovlow tomorrow will say : Speculative
activity has been on a slightly Increased
scale. Narrow conditions have , however ,
continued to surround the market and the
want of any general Interest In railroad and
other securities Is apparent. The profes
sional element In Wall street and other cities
seem to bo still responsible for the bulk of
the transactions In the share list , though
this week has presented evidences of activity
on the part of some of the larger speculators.
The oxtonslve short Interest hua furnished
material for a fair Improvement , based upon
the adoption ot the sugar schedule tn the
Eonato , on the rejection of the measure re
pealing the 10 per cent tax on utato bank
circulations , and ou the advance tn the prlco
of wheat. In this movement Sugar hung
back and the lead was taken by the railway
stocks- , which scored an advance In the face
ot continued unfavorable earnings and re
ports ot damage from Btorma , as well as
serious Interruption to traffic from the ef
fects ot the coal strike , The purchasing
power baa been confined to covering of short
oalos and In manipulation Intended to take
advantage ot this circumstance. Some slight
purchasing from London U thought to bo
purely speculative , or to have originated In
part on this oldo ot the ocoan. The fact
that foreign exchange holds ateady at the
gold export point , and that this week $0,150-
000 la gold wu shipped to Europe la con
clusive as to * ho unwIlllnRnets ot foreign
Interests to purchase Americans In nny quaiv
my.
my.Flninclnl
Flni\nclnl circle * wcro undoubtedly cncour-
flRcd by the dofc.U of the proposition to per
mit state bank note Issues. The vote Against
the measure was unr.xpeclcdly largo and the
fooling In such tiiwrtcr.t U that n * consider
able nilvnnro has bien nude tonurd the
settlement ot the currency nnd banking laws
on conservative lines. As n speculative
factor , however , this matter was subordi
nated to the adoption by the senate ot the
amended sugar schedule of the tnrlff bill.
The conclusion drawn by the street Is that
this nutlon Indicates the speedy passaga br
the senate of the entire bill nnd the consequent
quent release of business from the uncer
tainty of which the state ot pending tnrlfl
legislation has been the cause.
It Is noticeable , however , that Sugar stock ,
though the supposed beneficiary 6f the nctloit ,
did not "boom" on the news. Wnshlngton
speculative buying v > as conspicuous In the
movement which carried the prlco up to
lOSVi , but realizing followed nnd stock sold
as low ns lOUi on Friday , the fluctuations
bolng confined lo narrow limits. Intima
tions not only that there would bo further
delay on the tariff In the senate by these
who oppose the sugar nchcdute , but that the
latter provision would bo the subject of dla-
ngrecmcnt between the house nnd senate
should the bill go to n conference , npponr
to have had n reslrnlnlng effect on specula
tion , for the company's remilnr dlvldonda
pasted unnoticed , nnd the manipulation pro-
Bcnts traces of n dcslro lo prevent nny nd-
vance In the fleck.

A Political Experience.
A candidate for olTlce was BO sorely besot
by undesirable vlsltois that after much
patient nufferlng ho Kavo orders to the
servants to deny admittance to all callers
save his personal frlenda. How well the
order wai ; rarrlcd out , says Ilnrper'B
Drawer , ho soon had evidence. The bell
ant , ' , and the maid , upon opening ; the front
leer , WHS confronted by a body of "dele-
KJ.tes" from a "vvllllntr" constituency , when
: he candidate overheard the following col-
oquy :
"Is Mr. C at homo ? " said the leader ,
"He la not , " returned the mnld.
"When will he be In ? "
"Are ye personal fi lends of his ? "
"Well no , " said the lender ; "but "
"Then he's never comln' back. " And the
door wan closed with a bang.
