CHICAOO , May 10. Wheat lost % c today
on liberal realizing Bales. Tlio expectation
of the government rci > ort prevented heavy
trading. July corn closed We lower , July
oats Vic lower , and provisions finished at
slight declines.
Wheat opened easier , chiefly because of
the predicted drop In temperature , and In
about forty minutes from the opening , the
price of July wheat was down to &lc , com
pared with OlVic nt the end of yesterday' *
session. Extreme nervousness character
ized the trading1 all the forenoon. There
were a few buying ordera at the price last
quoted , but sellers all at once became so
conservative that none could bo bought un
til buyers advanced their bids to 6 Wc. It
had more than one downward reaction after
that , during which It waa not BO dllHcult to
buy at file , but the feature of the forenoon's
business was Its ) quick fluctuations over a
narrow range. The opening trades were at
from CI14C down to 6lc , with sellers more
eager than the. buyers at those rates. The
foreign markets sent higher quotation * , but
not BUfllclently to equal yesterday's advance
here , nml that was considered a weak point
to start with. The Minneapolis and Uuluth
receipts were 145 cars. The primary mar
ket receipts were 1D2.000 bu. The export
clearances from Atlantic pnrts comprised
112,000 bu. of wheat and flour together.
There were reports from St. Louis confirm
ing all they had previously advised of dam
age by drouth , but there were other re
ports from the same place statins thnt the
damage reported was being considerably
exaggerated. The government report , to be
issued this afternoon , exercised n restrain
ing Influence upon the traders. There
seemed to be no advance tips about It , but
the general Impression was that It would
differ materially from Thoman's report , as
published in the 1'ralrle Farmer ten days
ago , which reduced the condition 2.0 from
that given by It on the previous month. A
somewhat similar reduction given by the
government would make Its report show a
condition of about 78.G. The foreign mar
kets all closed higher , but the realizing
continued until the close. The prices were
about their lowest near the end , and after
selling nt from G3&C to C3ic July closed at
Corn ruled rather weak and a moderate
amount of business was done. The offerings
from country stations were heavier again ,
and receiving houses were. In consequence ,
of a bearish character. July opened nt the
highest price of the day , from Blc to 50c ,
as against Cl'.ic nt the close yesterday.
After a decline to 50c to OOHc , nnd a re-
nctlon to 50c , it dropped again to GO'Xic , nnd
closed nt 60i4c. Receipts here were 201 cars ,
nnd egtImateH for next day nre 230 cars.
I'rltnnry mnrket receipts were 161,000 bu. ,
against 259,000 bu. a year ago.
Only a comparatively small business wan
transacted In oats. The feeling wns weak
and prices lower. The excellent prospects
for the coming crop were very Influential
In causing country people to forward sellIng -
Ing orders. The arrival of the new oats on
this mnrket Is reported to be about two
week * earlier than usual , and n new mipiilj
Is expected during the fore part of July
A heavy crop Is also predicted throughout
the country. June started nt from 23c
to 2Dc , sold at 29c. down to SSV&c. and closed
t from 28V4c to 2Sc , July ranged nt from
28940 to 2M4C , nnd rested nt 2S'/iC to SSIic.
Trade In provisions wns exceedingly light
Fluctuations were narrow , nnd there was a
general Indisposition to trade.
Hccelpts of hogs were nbout ns estimated
Compared with yesterday's closing rates
pork Is about lOc lower , lard without change
nnd ribs from 5c to 7&c lower , Knsler feel
Ing wns mainly the result of the weakness
In corn. Freights , demand fnlr nt I'/iO for
wheat , nnd IVfcc for corn to llufC.ilo.

The failure of a person to turn to the
right , ns required by statute , on metlng
nnolliT In a highway , Is held In the Iowa

7G9 , not to bo conclusive evidence of negli
gence , notwithstanding the statute es
pecially where he was on horseback.
A promise to accept an order of another
person , made to give credit , Is held In the
Oregon caas of Allen against Leavens , 20 L.

Liability for damages Caused by fumes of
a fertilizer factory Is sustained In tlie South
Carolina case of Froa0 against IJorkeley
Phosphate company 20 'L. H. A. 003 , on the

Personal liability of the regents of the
University of California , who constitute a
corporation and are expressly declared by
statute not to be public1 officers , In case of
negligence respecting telegraph and telephone
poles nnd wires , Is denied in the case of

The right to attach property in the handset
ot assignee for creditors is asserted In the
North Dakota case of Re Enderlln State
Uank , 26 L. R. A. 593 , on the ground that
an assignment for creditors does not place

doctrine is established In some of the states ,
as shown by the'annotation to the case , and
some of the cases construe the statutes ns
putting the property in custody of the law
when assigned for creditors.
A statute providing for a standard policy
of flre Insurance , such as various states have
enacted , delegating1 the power to the com
missioner of Insurance to prepare the form
of the policy , Is held unconstitutional In the
Pennsylvania casi of O'Nell vs American
Fire Insurance company , 2G L. R. A. 715 , on
tha ground that U attempts to make an un
constitutional delegation of power. U la laid
that statutes of this kind have been passed
In seven or eight states , and that in Massa
chusetts only did the legislature Itself fix
the form of the policy.

right of action by the lowest bidder , for
awarding the contract to another even If it

right of the lowest bidder on a public con
tract ,
Tha prohibition l > y a Missouri statute of the
transportation of Texas , Mexican , Cherokee
or Indian cattle infected with microbes or
parasites by which Tfxas fever may be com
municated to other cattle. Is held in Grimes
vs Eddy , 26 L. K. A. G38 , to be an uncon
stitutional regulation of commerce so far as
It applies to passage through the state by
railroad or steamboat , but valid as to the
bringing cf such cattle into the state or
moving them from one part of the state to
another. Tlio annotation to the case reviews '
all the decisions as to the validity and con
struction ot statutvy regulations as to in
fected animals.

weekly review of trntle , which Issues tomor
row , will tmyn :
The event of the week Is the aemornllzo.
tlon of forelKii exchange cnused by enormous
sales of bonds ubronil. lie-sides a sale ot
$10,000.000 of Mnnhnttnn nml other railroad
bonds throuKh the syntllcatc , Inrue pur-
ehnses qn forelKii account have been recov
ered for some weeks , so thnt the nKKrcgatQ
jirobnbly exceeds 150,000,000 since the sola
of Kovernmcnts. Bnfety for the suininor
means much for all business , mul the syn
dicate deems It o fully assured Unit It dis
tributes 40 j > cr cent of the money advanced
by the assoclntcx , which relieves a lario
amount to stimulate , operations lit security
and products. Crop prospects have also
greatly J Improved , nml this Is of still hlshen
Importance , ns It will do much to dctcrmlna
the character nnd volume of nil ImsltiesH
after summer uncertainties arc over. In
addition , business Is reviving , although the
K i ln In Kreat Industries Is retarded by ,
mnny strikes.
, . ? ; Ue,5 0.r whent for. the week have been
31,000,000 bushels , against U5,000,0"0 the pre
vious week nnd S1.000.UOO the week before ,
n'jl ; wjlcs of cotton 512tKW bales , nK'-Unst
I.OJG.OOO bales the previous we.'k and 1,192,000
bales the week before , but Thursday
brought now nctlvlty. Wheat has fallen 2V4
cents , but rose 2 cents that day. Western
receipts arc 1.4G7.1CO Inwhels , against 1,261.-
7GI ; ist year , nnd Atlantic exports ( Hour In
cluded ) 1,615,051 bushels , against 2,211,011 last
year. In the three Weeks since the rise In
wheat these exports have b en 6.1WU21 bush
els , ngnlnst 7S1'J,971 last year.
I'ork hns fallen 25 cents per barrel. Inn !
20 cents und hogs 30 cents per hundred
weight. Colon 19 lower nnd receipts , In
spite of n bad prediction of great decline ,
still exceed those of 1892.
The Industries were distinctly gaining
whan strikes began , which have sjirend
quite widely. Garment workers In several
cities ( , nnd Pocuhontas coke workers nro
still out , with several thousand woolen
workers near Providence. Other woolen
mills nnd the furnaces * in the Shemuigo nnd
Mnhonlng valleys , which were making 25- ,
000 tons per week , have stopped , nnd the Il
linois Steel Works , the largest western con
cern , so thnt stocks nre directly affected ,
which produced 21 per cent of the entire
output on April 1. The Amalgamated asso
ciation nlso proposes n struggle over the
new wngo scale. The output of Iron still
exceeds the consumption , but hns fallen 1,578
tons weekly In April to 150,551 on May 1.
Hessemer pig hns been raised to J10.9J nt
Pittsburgh nnd the general demnnd for lln-
lhed products docs not cqunl the recent
output , but Is distinctly Increasing , bars
nnd sheets * selling mori largely , though
structural specifications nro disappointingly
slow. The more noteworthy gain Is in
orders for steel rails. 30,000 tons for the
Pennsylvania and 50.WO for a western rand.
Coke production still lessens , 0,722 tons for
the week and SG.SJfi , or a per cent. In the
past three weeks. Tin hnn been raised to
11.1 cents nnd copper to 10'i ' cents by In
creasing demand.
Sales of wool for the week are lens thai <
In 1S32 , but larg r tlmn in the past two
years , though pi Iocs do not rise. Ilalher
more demnnd appears for men's woolens ,
but cancellations are nlso mirm-rotis , and
Imports of woolen goods , with withdrawn ! ! *
from wnrehouses , were nbout 113.000,000 In * v
the llrst quarter of the year , ngnlnst ubout y
$5,000,000 last ycnr. Cotton goods contlnuu
storng , mills being well employed , nnd they
hold heavy stocks of raw cotton bought nt
low prices.
The failures this week have been 227 In
the United States , against 'J03 last year ,
and 31 In Canada , against 42 last year.
