COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Rudlifld Up Hear Four Oonts ami Closed There. | | REPORTS OF CROP DAMAGE THE FEATURE In Corn the Alarket Vfs\t Inclined to Ho Wenk but It Could Not Iteslit the bide Which C'urrleil Wheat to the Top. CHICAGO , May 22. Wheat rushed up tHc today nnd closed with the full nd vnnco , nt 77'ic ' for July. Crop dunmso re ports furnished the motive power nnd coun try buyers did the rest. July coin closed ? ic hlKhcT nnd provisions nt advances. Heports of crop dnrnuge were the "whole thins" In wheat ngaln todny. The reports of damage were more nttmerous thnn on nny previous dny mid cume from Mis sourl , lHlnoIrt , Indiana , Ohio nnd even from Kentucky , which hnd not previously Joined In the cry. The worst reports came from Indiana und Illinois. KnnMis Is not counted In the nbove , na Its crop had been nlven its auk-til's n month HBO , \vhc-n It was taken for granted that 20,000,000 bu. or go would nbout represent whnt Is expected of It. Under the Influence of such reports the market opened at from 71'ie to To for July , fiom T4c to lir per bu. higher thnn It closed yesterday. It sold off ngaln to 74"c ! , but the commission houses were nil loaded with country buying orders nnd on every break the dlcp.itches to buy ten , twenty nnd a hundred thousand pecmcd to multiply and there ivaa no resting price up to 12 o'cloek , about which time IJrud- ptreet's report came In nnd the pries was 77c. The cablegrams from 11 vcipool came BtionK and Id hlsher nt the opening , and another Id up with active demand nt the nilvnnee reported nt the close. Paris was the only halting foreign market : Its mlvancs wns only 15 centimes for June wheat find unchanged for the later deliv eries , lierlln wns quoted li marks higher , duo , It wns said , to repot ta of damage to the Octmnn crop. Argentine millers were reporud aa stating that no more wheat Photild be exported from their portc , ns there would not bo sulllclcnt for their home milling If shipments were continued longer. The northwestern receipts at Mln- ncajHjIls nnd IJuluth were 178 cars , against 191 n year ngo. The only disappointing Item In the day's news was that the total exports from the Atlantic seaboard com prised altogether M)2 ) bu. of wheat nnd SK.TOO Mils , of ( lour. A large cash business was done In wheat here , both for shipment to the sciibonrd nnd to the Interior millers In the west. The quantity reported up to the close of th2 session was about SoO.COO bu. Of that quantity CO.OOO bu. wn to n miller at Muskegon , 00,000 bu. for Toledo , 45,000 bu. to Kansas UHy and the remain der goes by lake and canal to the seaboard. There was a report of 400,000 bu. worked for export nt New York , but n dispatch from there , received ncnr the end of the session , rend : "Can hear of nothing doing for export In either whent or corn. " The market here was very nctlve and July closed with buyers nt 7"/ic. The corn market wns Inclined to be weak. It could not resist the Insistently ndvnnclng tendency of the wheat market nnd advanced Ic per bu. over yesterday's closing prices , resting with a gain. The receipts day by dny nre too heavy to psr- mlt of botivnncy In the corn market with Biich n light shipping demand ns Is re ported. The receipts today were 448 cars. Vessels were chartered today for 310,000 bu. July opened at 5IUc nnd reacted to CIV4c. It advanced to 5lic under the en couragement of advancing whent , dronp5d back to CIVlC ( rose to 55c and closed at Oats were nctlve nnd higher nt the close. Commission houses bought freely on further reports of crop damage and their orders were readily tilled by the crowd. The Influence of wheat and corn wns nlso very effective In creating higher prices. Bnorts were scrambling after stuff nnd longa disposed of some of their holdings. The situation of the market remained Just the same us for the last few days , only fluctuations covered a wider rnnge. July sold from 29c to SOc , resting nt from 23c tO SOC. Hog receipts were 38,000 head , 2.000 more thnn estimated. The liberal receipts pre disposed the local traders to the selling nldc , but they were , restrained by the extreme - tremo bullishness of wheat. Owing to the latter Influence the scalpers took the buy ing side lifter n little hesitation at the start , but the total of the business done wns light. An advance followed on ac count of the Irresistible Influence of the nd- vnnce In wheat. After advances of 32V c In pork , from Do to 7Vfcc In lard nnd from 12'ic to 15c In ribs , the closing prices were nt some reaction from top prices and left net gains for the day ns follows : Pork , 74c ; lard , 2'Ac : ribs , 7V4c.

NEW YORK , Mny 22. Wheat showed further - ther excitement today , with a rise of 3o a bu. before 1 o'clock. The farmer clcm-nt was the prime mover In the advance , ns It hfls been all along. The professional operators got tangled up In the flint upward movement , nnd after covering n lot of wheat nt lo or so loss , they retired. They had made the mistake of think ing yesterday afternoon's market forecasted a big drop In prices , and had sold a lot of whent which the Lulls mndo them rustic to buy back this mjrnlng. It was a very active matket nil the foicnoon , with moro outside buying orders than the brokers cjuld easily handle.

The railroad people have been denying that the crops have been serluusly Injincd by frost. Today farmers as serted that this was nil bosh , go'ton up to affect stocks , nnd they t > ought more con fidently thnn ever. In the nfternoon nil the excitement wns renewed , particularly near the close , when a lot of buying orders came all In n bunch. The July option shot up to SOc , and the great crowd of watchers threw up their hats nnd shouted In gltv. Not so the brokers In the pit. They were shouting themselves boarse In nn endeavor to III ! their orders before the gong stiuck , nnd In the struggle hats were niniisliwl nnd coats torn. Tliu day's business was not such a steadily active one s yesterday's. It came. In spots , ns country orders piled In , nnd then would subside until n new lot arrived. The totnl transac- tlon.s were about 1,000,000 bu. less than yester day , but the net gain for the day was Slifflic , a rlfo not equalled In any one day for jears pant.

NEW YORK , May 22.-The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wjol trade : The market Is dawdling nlont , most monotonously , utuno kinds of stock hav ing been BDld this week t exactly the prices nt which paits of the same lots were sold two weeks ago. There Is comparatively little elder or new wool selling. Of the latter the sales arc. especially small. Advices from the earlj shearing sections Indicate that some of the Initial operators have withdrawn ; representa tives of wool houses nro on the ground wnltlng far nn opportunity to do business , opening prices being too high for safety. In the re cent past purchases In the wept have been mndo on a higher basis thnn Is warranted In this market. If these wools are held n pos sible effort may be made to further divert the attention of manufacturers to foreign wool. This In turn would tend to render the latter firmer. On the other hand , there nre many users of stocks whose manufacturing circum stances comjiel them ( In their Judgment at least ) to nbout exclusively use the domestic product. In the meantime the general de mand , ns obscrvntlon of Iloston market con ditions show , Is fnr from Inspiring. Rhode Island mills appear to have been well stocked and they have a strike on their hands of In definite duration ; furthermore , the unsenswi able weather has been squarely against the factory trade. The sales of the week amoun lo 1.699,90) Ibs. domcHtlc nnd 599.000 Ibs. foreign making n totnl of 2.298,900 , ngnlnst a totnl o ; 2,833,800 for the previous week , nnd n total o : 1,877,000 Ihs. for the corresponding week Ins year.

NEW YOnK , May 22.t-There was a slight In crease In the volume of business on the Stack exchange today , but the tone of speculation was In the main heavy , nnd n large majority of the stocks traded In show losses on the day. Whtlo there was nothing especially depressing In the situation , the locnl traders were mostly on the bear side of the market , and that , with liquidations nnd sales of the short account , made a tendency for the downward motion. Little was done In the ? market for the foreign ers , It being settling day In London , but there wns some slight selling by the nrbltrnge hsuses. A raid wns made on Distilling , believed to be In the Interest of nn Inside clique , which de sired lo shnkn out some weak holders. The ndvnnco In wheat wns made use of t nttnck the grangers , nnd the short Interest In this group wns largely Increased. Sugar was sub jected to some peculiar manipulations by the controlling power , which pent the stock up * i per cent to 1194 , the highest record of the year , then dropped it to 117U , with a closing rally of ' ,4 per cent , restricting the net loss to 1 < 6 per cent It was In the generally In- nctlvo stocks that the widest Ilucluntl3ns were mnde , nnd this section of the list wns strong. tiavt York .Money .1IirGt : !

The cattle market In ucnoial was Indlf- crently supplied as to quality , offerings clnp ; largely mnde up of fair to pretty oed cornfed native steers , with n vprlnk- Ing of fair hayfed westerns. The demand rom.thc dressed beef men lacked urgency , , 'hlle the unfavorable tone to reports from astern centers had a tendency to make hipping and speculative buyers more or ess cautious. As n rcshlt trade ruled slow hruURhout , nnd while prices were not [ uotnbly lower than Tuesday , there was' Ilitlnctly weaker feeling on all sides. Good butcher nnd beef cows were In : oed demnnd nnd firm , but thin stuff or .nytlilng showing grass met with an In- llffercnt demnnd at shaded prices , The narket for veal calves was very nearly toady and bulls , oxen nnd stags showed Ittle quotable change.

LONDON , May 22. At the Mnrlborough street police court this morning the marquis it Quecnsborry and his Ron , Lord Douglas of lawlck , were bound over , cnch In 500 , to keep the peace. Their appearance In the lollce court today was the result of their encounter yesterday afternoon In Piccadilly. Iloth the marquis of Queciubcrry and Lord Jouglas of HavUck were fashionably dressed. The marquis wore a rose In his buttonhole and did not show any sign of yesterday's Ifilit. On the other hand , his son had a ilock eye. The marquis was not defended by counsel , but Lord Douglas had a lawyer piesent to attend to his Interests. The police evidence regarding the encounter between father and son In Piccadilly yestar- day afternoon was first given. The dis turbance was described as having taken place near the corner of liond streat. A few words were exchanged and a brief but very de termined conflict followed. The combatants were soon separated by the police , who escorted them to the nearest police station , where they were charged with disorderly conduct , as neither the father nor the son would prefer a charge against the other. In his defense the marquis of Qtieensberry iald that while he was walking Ir. Piccadilly ils son , Lord Douglas of Hawlck , came run- iliiK at him and pushed him against a store ttlmlow , speaking at the top of his voice. The marquis added that he struck his son In self-defense. Counsel for Lord Douglas of Ilawlck said , l > at the latter and a friend were walking In [ 'Iccadllly , not thinking1 of the marquis of 2ueensberry , when the encounter between Lord Douglas and his father took place. Counsel added that Lady Douglas of Ilawlck yesterday received the following telegram : 'I must congratulate you on the result , but I cannot congratulate you on Percy's appear ance. He looks like a dug-up corpse. I fear .here Is too much madness In kissing. Taylor Is guilty ; It will bo Wilde's turn tomorrow. " It was also asserted that the marquis had written to Lady Dougl.is false charges ogilim her husband and members of the family , and that although he had promised to stop writIng - Ing he had not done so. Instead , It was claimed , Lord Douglas asked the marquis to cease writing "these- obscene and filthy" letters to his wife. The marquis then hit him In the face and the fight between father and son followed. After further evidence showing that the marquis was the aggressor the case was settled by the marquis and his son being bound over , each In 500 ball , to keep the peace. The second trial of Oscar Wilde was begun In the Old Bailey court today before Justice Wills. There was a dense crowd of Interested spectators present In the court room. Wilde was very restless and looked worried and careworn. The government solicitor , Frank Lockwood , In opening the case for the treasury , said the Indictment covered acts of gross Indecency during the period extending from February to October , 1893. He then recited the charges made against Wilde In connection with Edward Shelly , Alfred Wood and others. During the morning WIMo was taken 111 and left the court. SHORT LINE ACCOTJNTINa. Mutter Tnkoti Upf tcrdiy : by Muster In Uhnncerjr CornUh , At a conference held yesterday morning In Union Pacific headquarters between the re ceivers and the attorneys for the trustees In the Short Line case It was decided to put Mr. Erastus Young , auditor of the Union Pacific , on the stand at the afternoon session to allow him to explain the rules adopted by the auditing department In the separation of accounts on the several mortgage divisions of the Union Pacific system. When Judge Cornish convened his court of chancery In his room In the head quarters building quite a crowd of eminent railroad men faced the spe cial master. Auditor Young was placed In the witness box to explain the manner In which his department had performed the duties devolved upon It by the courts. He testified as to what would be In his judgment proper rules to be made In distributing the earnings and expenses of the system with reference to the mortgage divisions com prising said system. The rules propossd by- Mr. Young and offered In evidence were In general such as arc In common use under similar conditions upon the Union Pacific and other railroad systems wheresver divisions become necessary within the system. They were purely technical , setting out In detail the methods and reasons adopted for a separ ation of the account ? . Mr. Young was on the stand during the whole of the afternoon and when adjournment was taken last evening It was with the understanding that ho should continue his explanation this morn ing.It It Is expected , however , that Interesting features will be a characteristic of the hear ing today , as the attorney for the American Loan and Trust company , Mr. Frank Kel logg , Is determined to find out where various funds have gone to In the company's ac counting and Mr. Young Is In a position to give the representative of the consolidated mortgage all the Information ho desires. DA IK * CAI.I.KIJ TO ACCOUNT. Charged with Violating Itnlrs , 111) Con- tcmplntci the Fnto in Store. J. H. Davles , the ticket broker , Is In a pock of trouble over his participation In the recent cut made by the liurllngton on cast- bound business from Colorado common points as a result of a block of tickets unload''J by him on the Denver market , reading over the Union Pacific. Charges have been filed against Davles by his Denver brethren , mem bers of the National Association of Ticket Brokers , alleging unprofessional conduct on the part of the Omaha broker , and collusion with the Hurllngton. The fact that Davles went on the Denver market with his twelve tickets and cut the rate under his Denver confreres , Is looked upon as a heinous crime by the brokers In the Colorado capital , and they have asked that he bo promptly fined for conduct unbecoming a scalper. What the outcome of this matter will be Is prob lematical , but Mr. Davles sees a fine of J1.200 hung up In very close proximity tu his person. Whtlo Mr. Davlea will undoubt edly bo able to show that there was no collu sion with the Burlington , he will have a harder time satisfying his brethren that his action In Denver was on the square , from an association standpoint.
