CHICAGO , Jifly 25. Iletter cables and ad
vancing outside markets firmed wheat up
early In the session today , but the price broke
later and September closed Un lower than
last nlcht. Corn closed % c lower , oats % c
lower and provisions slightly higher. There
was a fair trade In wheat during the first
part of the session , but only ordinary Inter
est was displayed later In the d.iy. The feel
ing was fairly steady. Initial trades were
at D3c , September atlie advance , cased
off from % c to ftc , rallied He , changed some
nnd closed steady at 03' ' c. This early
strength was attributed mainly to the stead
ier cables , advances In outside markets , the
rather smaller movement , today's receipts
falling short of the estimates some eighty-six
cars nnd the bulletins from the spring wheat
districts showing a light yield In that BCC-
tlon. The early action of corn also helped
to a minor extent. First cables ciuoted spot
quiet and steady and futures dull to firm at
unchanged prices. The rather liberal exports
was something of a factor and aided the ad
vance. Toledo reported the loading of an
other small boat with wheat to be shipped tc
this market , and this , with the prospect of
more favorable weather , caused the dcclJno In
the latter part of the sestrton.
Opening trades In corn were nt from Vic
to % c advance , at 41140 for September , and ,
after selling up a fraction more , cased off
Jrom % c to l',4c , rallied Vic , declined % c
nnd closed at 43UC. The feeling at the start
Was decidedly stronger , vlth the count y buy
ing freely , receivers und commission houses
kclnc on the buying side , nnd the weather
was dry and hot all through the middle and
western statis. The price held fairly steady
until the prediction was announced for rain
In Iowa nnd Nebraska , when the price re
ceded sharply.
Oats were firm early on good buying and
unfavorable crop reports , but weakened later
with wheat nnd corn. The range wns V4c
lor September.
Provisions were very dull , with no sales In
pork. The market was firm on scarce offerIngs -
Ings and light receipts of products. Com
pared with Inst night , September lard Is 2Vio
blghcr nnd September ribs Cc higher.
Freight rates nre abatable at % c for wheat
or corn to Port Huron or Uuffalo.
Estimates for tomorrow : Wheat , 45 cars ;
corn , 2CO cars ; oats , 140 cars , hogs , 27,000
bead.

Tin ; IlurllnRtnn Gazette , speaking of the grape
crop , says that some growcis talk dlscourug-
Ingly. A grower paid that his grapes were doing
finely until about ten days ago they were at
tacked by u mould , which Is going to spjll his
crop. It Is not probnble that this mould Is
general among grapes of this country. In llur-
llngton und vicinity the grape prospect Is excel
lent. Reports from elsewhere arc bright. The
Nauvoo Hustler , In speaking of the grape pros-
peois of that locality , says : "The yield will be
Immense If good fortune smiles on the vlntnetH
from now on. The. acreage of grapes continues
to grow , and this yiar , ns usual , thousands of
gallons of wine will be manufactured to gladden
the heart of man. "

by the berry crop this neusont With thousands
of crates ripe , the ublllty l.i reach n markcl Is ,
without any fault of ours , suddenly taken uway ,
The Ktrawberry ciop has been the ptlnclpal one
of this section , nnd while It will not only hold
ltn present yield , but will double and trtble It ,
It will In u year or two become of secondary Im
portance. Prunes , peaches , cherries nnd small
fruits generally me n necessity to Hie fiuil

iness. They uie a means lo nil end , furnishing
money to support the family and to Improve the
fauns. They all bear one fatal objection as a
crop to be relied upon , and that Is the absolute
necesfllly of tlndlng a market for them ns soon
us they nre ripe. This may not be true of the
prune , but for It the same condition exists It
must be taken care of nl once when ripe. The
fruit of Hood River , the one that IH to make
her famous ns well as prosperous. Is the winter
apple. Thai can be kept. It ran be gathered

NI3W YOHK , July 25. The result of to
day's trading on the Stock exchange has
been the establishment ot a lower ranga ot
values In the greater portion of the shares
traded In , the only prominent exceptions
belnK Sugar and Iowa Central preferred ,
both of which are 1 per cent higher than at
close yesterday. The volume cf business
wan light , but was better distributed than
ual , with Sugar In the lead , St. Paul , |
Distilling , Chicago dug , llurllngton & Qulncy
and Missouri Pacific coming next In the Ilia
transactions. In no other stock did the <
sales exceed 8,800. Lontlcn waj a email
buyer of St. Paul In the early dealings and
later sold A few hundred shires of that
itock , but was not In the market otherwise.
In the Sugar pool there was Jubilation
over the failure of yesterday's senatorial
democratic caucus to reach n compromlRC.
Thcro wat good buying at the opening , and
on advance was made before 10:15. : Wash
ington advices to the effect that another
conference was on today , which wn likely
to bring about some agreement , checked the
purchasing movement In the shires and In
duced sales , under which the entire Im
provement was lost before 11 o'clock. Dur
ing the rest of the day the stcckva er
ratic , moving within a narrow range , but
making gains , which at the close reached
1 per cent , Reports of Injury lo the corn
crop by excessive hot weather depressed the
grangers , all of which clcscd nt the lowest
prices of the day , making losses of 1 per cent
In Hock Island , % per cent In St. Paul and
Ilurllnglon & Qulncy and Vi per cent In
Northwestern. The question was raised as
to Die payment of a dividend by the Hock
Island , and Ihe bears are now niicsllotilns
whether St. PC ill and llurllngton will pay
dividends at the regular rates. D stilling
rose % per cent In the opening dealings ,
but the rise hrcuglit out large offer.ngn ,
which forced i'l e prlco down Hi per cent ,
with a final rally of Vi per cent. Compared
with yc'tcrday's closing quotations the last
prices mmlo today show declines ranging
from ' ,6 to 1 per cent. The railway and
miscellaneous bond market was generally
weak and slow.
The Evening Post's London cablegram
says : The settlement today was favored by
money borrowed at H4 per cent per annum ,
_ but this furnished no itlmulus to speculation.
'Americans were flat. Indignation Is ex
pressed at the delay In giving out Little's
report on Atchlson affairs and also that at
tempts were made to cover up the account
ing irrcgtilar.tles of the past years. High
clas < Investments are coming forward more
plentifully. Hoar's brewery Issue came out
today for over 1,000,000.
The Evening Post says : There was some
rather determined selling of the granger
Flocks today and It continued nt Intervals
throughout the day. As usual , the order *
tu sell came wholly from professional spec
ulator * , and the "argument" of ruin Im-
'pcndlng over the corn crop , through the
high temperature In the Interior , was in-
diiHtrlously ned.

WEDNESDAY. July 25.
This has been another day of quite largo
receipts. The arrivals were 3,000 cattle ,
11,700 hogs and 67 she-p , as against
2,623 cattle , 0,814 hogs nnd 106 sheep onVed -
nesduy of last week. For the week thug fur
there Imve been rcclved 6,150 cattle , 27,800
hogs nnd 1,116 sheep , as against 4,21S cattle ,
18,259 hogs nnd 1,888 sheep for tha corresponding
spending days of last week. From this It will
be noted that the receipts of cattle and hogs
this week are considerably Inrger thnn they
were last week ,
CATTLE There was qulto n sprinkling
of good to choice corn fed beeves In the
ynrds today. The local packers wanted n
few cattle , but they were about the only
buyers , the shippers and export men holding
off. The market generally was about lOo
lower , unless It might be on something that
wns especially desirable , such ns the handy
fnt little cattle. One bunch of cattle weigh
ing 1,132 pounds brought $4.25 , which wns
the top price paid during the day. A largo
proportion of the sales of dressed beef cat
tle were made nt $4 to $4.20.
There was considerable Inquiry for choice
cows nnd heifers , but not mnny were to be
found In the yards. The offerings consisted ,
as has been the rule lately , of common grassy
stuff , for which the demand Is light and
prices extremely low. The general innrket
wns slow. A load or two of cows sold ns
high as $2.30 , but the most of the sales wcro
made at $1.25 to $2. Heifers sold largely
at $1.35 to $2.15.
The situation In stackers and feeders Is
becoming worse. The continued dry weather
In the country , which has ruined the pastures
and hay crop and Is.threateiiing to reduce the
yield of corn , tins'cut oft the demand for
this class of cattle 'from the country , nnd It
would Eccm ns If the market Is In nbout as
bad condition as possible. Prices hnvet been
so low that It did not seem as If they were
going much lower from day to day , during
the past few days. At the same time dealers
who have been hojdlng cattle but a short
time can figure out a drop of 25o In a very
short time. In spile of the poor condition
of the market quite n string of cattle
changed hands today , $2.80 being paid for
two or three loads. A large proportion of
the fair to good feeders brought $2.25 to $2.40.

HOGS The demand for hogs keeps up
and In spite cf the largo receipts there ap
pears to be 'a place for all that the country
can send In. Local packers and shippers

well maintained this week. Today's market
opened active , and though weak at one time
closed at about the opening prices. The
general market was about EC lower than
yesterday's early market , but a little better
than yesterday's clo e. The great bulk of
the hogs sold at $ I.7G4.80 , with a $1.90 top.

ALPERSON DIVORCE FIGHT ON AGAIN
Iluslmnit Accused of Trying to Defraud III *
Wife by Selling and Removing 11U
Stock of ( loiiilH Court Ap
points u Krcelvur.
The much contested divorce ca-o of the
Alperson family was again In hearing be
fore Judge Scott yesterday. It came up
oti an application of the attorneys for Ke-
becca Alperson to have the court Issue an
attachment for her former husband to ap
pear In court nnd show cause why ho waa
not guilty of contempt of couit.
When Judge Ambrose refused the appli
cation of John Alperson for a divorce from
Ills wife , Itebecca , ho made an order that
Alpcrion should pay to Howard Ilaldrldgo ,
as trustee , the sum of $500 , to bo used for the
maintenance of his wife. Ho also ordered that
Alperson should not dispose of any of tlio
goods in Ills store ut Eleventh and Capitol
avenue except through tlio ordinary chan
nels of trade , In crdcr that , If tlio money
wus not forthcoming wftliln a given tlnio ,
the trustee might dlHposo of tliu stock In
order to raise tlio amount.
Lately Mrs. Alperson represented that her
former husband was moving away and se
creting the stock In order to deprive her of
her rights under the ruling of the court and
the hearing on this charge came on yes
terday. The attorneys for Mrs. Alperson
produced a number of allldavlts of pcr.ona
who claimed that they hud ecnn Alperson
moving away tlio goods on the night of July
23 , whllo Alpcrnon denlid that ho had dis
posed of goods except to customers as here
tofore. Tic court dually declared that ho
would appoint a receiver to take churgo ot
tlio goods and dispose of them to the best
advantage In order to protect tlio rights ot
MrAlperson. .
