CHICAGO , Mny 20. The weather ruled
the Krnln markets today. Hot , dry winds
sent them up sharply , nntl alternate prom-
Ues of rnln und frost kept them nervous ,
hut In the end n desire to even up the rntcs
over tomorrow's holiday resulted In a lower
close than yesterday , provisions were
strong nnd higher on light receipts of hogs
and outsldo buying orders.
Wheat opened with n bulge of H4c per
bu. , nnd for nbout hnlf nn hour It looked
as If It hnd gone up to stny. About the
end of that time , however , the signal serv
ice prediction took n linml in the game
nnd threw Its Inlluence with the bears. It
predicted pcnernlly showery weather for
the winter wheat belt , and tomorrow being
n holldny the longs thought It well to an
ticipate the probable effect of healing rain
upon the wounded wheat plant. They
knew that whatever wheat they owned at
the close of today's market they would
require to remain possessors of till Fri
day morning , nnd they accordingly began ,
nfter the weather prediction became pub
lie , to dispose" of that part of their sup
piles which they keep to feed the bears
occasionally. A prominent operator re
marked that the market was "a good deal
stronger" than the bulls. They kept Pell-
Ing out long wheat without hurting the
price much. They turned It down , how
ever , from around 82c for July to SOM.C , and
closed nt n pretty good break. The de
cline to 80l4o referred to was not the lowest
point of the day. It recovered to 81j.c
nnd then broke to fcOttc. The rnln pre
dictions were on several occuslons the pre
dominating factor , nnd that the price wns
nbovo Mc ) appeared to Impress n certain
part of the bidders with n hope that It
wns nbout to revisit Its undent stnmplnu
ground , nround 55e. The other part hud
no such apprehension nnd bought with suf
ficient freedom to cause n rapid recovery.
It recovered from SOVic to RO'Jc again before -
fore It once remembered that It was still
subject to the possibilities attending n
rnlny holiday.
The corn market was strong nnd Irregu
lar nt the opening , nnd after nn advance
of lc It dropiwd back until at one time
there wns n loss of % c. In the end the
price for July wns V&c lower than It closed
yesterday , nnd September % c lower. The
opening price of July wns over n range
of from 5lc to GGc , with KVtC paid very
soon Ihereiiflcr. In nn hour from the
Btnrt , It was down to Clc , and sank Irregu
larly nfter that to GJl&c. with n recovery
to Ki-Ho nt the close. It was n weather
market , pure and simple.
Oats were wild and panicky nt the openIng -
Ing , with n very wldo rnnge of stnrtlng
prices , the net ndvnnce of which wns from
2V4o to 20ic from yesterday's last quota
tion. The activity nnd higher prices were
entirely Influenced by reports of crop dam
ages. The early strength moderated
greatly after the traders had calmed down.
The decline In wheat was followed , showIng -
Ing that the cereal still lias u good hold
on onts , nnd the market wns moro setlleil
during the rest of the dtiy. July opened
nt from 32c to 33o ; fell off gradually to 31c ,
nntl nt noon had advanced again to 31'X.e.
The close showed the market again at 31c ,
which Is > tc hlphcr than It closed yester
day. The activity continued right up to
the end. Country orders were principally
urpent earlier In the session , but Inter It
wns everybody In general , with buying
and Felling.
Provisions were firm nnd closed higher
to the extent of 22Hc In pork , 12'ic In lard
and lOc In ribs. The commission houses
appeared well provided with outsldo buying
orders , nnd on the advance , the packers
supplied the demand.
Freights llrm at lc for wheat and 1
for corn to Uuffalo.

Ni\V YOIIK , May 13. There has been n re
covery In prices on the Htock exchange and part
of yesterday's losses hnvc been rexalncd. Hotter
: rep reports nnd covering of Bhorts were the
hlef Inlluences KovernlnK the maiket. At the
> enlnir th trailing was small and n weak tone
revulleil , the depression being most marked In
'aclllc Mall , which broke 2 per cent on the an-
ounce-mem of the Jo s of the company's steam-
'ilp Colltna , The temper of speculation , how
fir , quickly chanced , nnd on moderate buylni ?
IP Kenernl market took an upward turn anil
mtlnued to Impiove In a mild way until nt-ar
-it * cloc-e , when a slight iractlon took place on
ales to close out contracts over the holiday ,
omc recoveries were made In the llnal pales and
lie maiket wus In fairly good tone at the climu
ml In most cases lilnher on the day's trnnsac-
'ons. Some stmrrs moved Independently of the
enTal market. After the publication of the
nniinl report I'ncltlo Mall came In demand and
covered I'.4 per ctnt , of which H per cent had
x-eti lnl at the close. The niotement of prices
urlnK the cnily trading In Ixjiula wns not of
mini tance , but In the subsequent dealliiK1' a
lecldc-d upward tendency was In progress. The
lies were $2.611.01" ) .
The Evening 1'ost's Ixmdon cable says ; The
toek markets were Idle and dull today ; Idle be-
iiusc of the I isom races. There was a re-
nvery nt the close In better tone In Paris. Amer-
cans were lower , but they nlso rccoxered nfter
lours. The only feature Is the demand for tele-
; raphlc remittances on llomlmy , whers money Is
c.uc In connection vtllli the movement of the

UOSTON , May 29. The American Wool nnd
Cotton Reporter will ny tomoriow of the wool
rade : The volume of business transacted this
vcek will be found perceptibly larger than that
lone a wek ago , though the amount or wool Is
considerably under the normal weekly aggregate
* ur lliston. The cnll was mainly for territory ,
if which n very moderate quantity of new stock
ins figured , nnd n very good Inquiry for Aus-
rnllan wools. There Is an nlmost complete nb-
ience of speculative features or of n remnrk-
able activity In any one department. With pros-
jecls of n big domestic clip und with n large
tmount of foreign wool coming In , there would
seem to be little promise of any early Improve
ment In prices. The prices In the western wool
growing sections nrc le to Bo above the eastern
narkets , but the strength In the country Is
leemed by some of the trade to hnve a tendency
o strengthen the Reaboard markets. The sales
of the week amounted to l.r/M.OO1) ) Ins. domestic
nnd SS9.500 His. foreign , making n total of 2,109-
> W Ibs. , ngnlnst a total of 2,2S8,900 IDS. for the
irevlous week nnd n totnl of 1,105,200 Ibs. for
he corresponding week last year. The sales
since January 1 , 1895 , amount to 6B.749,4jO Ibs. ,
ngnlnst 52,911,700 Iba. n yenr ngo. The snlfs In

WEDNESDAY , Mixy 23.
Ilecelpts were moderate today , thirty-
seven cars of cattle , sixty-two of hoes and
three of sheep , 102 cars In all. Ilecclpts
for the three dnys foot up 4,128 cattle ,
11,803 hogs and 1,470 sheep , a Rain of LOUO
cattle and 50 sheep , and a loss of 5,000
hogs , as compared with last week.
The supply of cattle was not very large ,
but Included some very respectable beeves ,
both natives and westerns. Local condi
tions were all right , that Is , the dressed
beef men appeared to bo wanting some
cattle. Eastern markets were reported
lower , and on this account there was very
lltlle outside support , and the market was
anywhere from barely ; steady to Co and
lOc lower thnn Tuesday. Handy weight
steers were the readiest sellers , and on
these there was very little decline. Hough ,
heavy cattle and unfinished llpht stuff bore
the brunt of the decline. The movement ,
however , was quite free nnd a good , early
clearance made.
, Cows also sold a shade lower than Tues
day. The best grades held their own bet
ter than the common stuff nnd canners ,
but all ruled a shade lower. Calves were
weak at the recent big decline , and bulls ,
stags , etc. . were generally easier.
The stocker and feeder trade was In the
same condition It has been for some time ,
that Is , there was practically no trade at
? , " * r'ccs ' rlllel vcrv low on the few cat-

of trading was decidedly small. Good to

HOGS Receipts were not materially different
from Tuesday's arrivals , either In quantity or
quality. There was a fair showing of good to
choice heavy hogs , but too many light welfihts
lave been coming recently , forced In by the dry
weather. Sellers again found conditions favor ,
able and experienced little dlftlculty In securing
fully a dime more than on Tuesday for theli
good heavy hogs and fully n nickel more on nn
average for the lighter grades. The foimer fold
it from $4.35 to 14.65 , and the extreme range
'or ISO to 200-lb. hogs was from SI to $4.40. Pigs
and light lights were a drugon the market , tha
common grades In particular being hard to move
at any price. Common to very good 90 to 140-lb.
stuff brought from $2.76 to 13.75. There were a
good many plg In the pens nt the close , but the
rood hogs were practically all disposed of early.
Trading wa very largely nt $4.33 to $4.45 , an
against J4.35 to J4.40 Tuesday nnd $4.35 trf $4.44

CLEVELAND , May 29. The Iron Trade
Review this week will say :
The last week of May shows more
of -developments that have made It the
most Important month of the year to thd
Iron trade. Owln to the fact that July 1
Is a pivotal point In the calculations of a
good many producers , there Is Just now
some restriction upon buying , particularly
In pig Iron and steel , hut In finished mate
rial the pace of recent weeks has been more
than kept up , with further advances In
prices. More tardily than the south and
the central west , the east has made a posi
tive advance In pig Iron In the week , the
announcement of an added 60 cents a ton
being made by the leading eastern Penn
sylvania Interest. Nearly a week previous
Virginia furnaces had withdrawn their low
quotations In the same markets. While a
number of heavy buyers filled up for several
months before the present level was reached
on foundry Irons , there are evidences that
others have waited too long and that their
requirements will bring them Into the mar
ket from time to time. Bessemer pig , which
for nearly two months has had alternate
weeks of active buying and of light demand ,
has managed to hold each successive ad
vance in the Interval of Inactivity , The
past week has brought little business ,
largely because the requirements of the
larger buyers are filled for June and there
are no furnaces now willing to accept Jll
In the valley for deliveries through the second
end half of the year.

CHICAGO , May 29. Hon. Hoswell O.
Herr today asked Lyman J. Gage , president
of the First National bank , to act as his
referee during the dcbato between himself
and W. II. Harvey , author of "Coin. " Mr.
Gage has accepted and the Union League
club has tendered Its rooms. The debate
will probably last ten days. Stenographic
notes of the entire debate will be taken
and given to the press for publication. The
date has not been decided upon. Howard S.
Taylor , Harvey's referee , will meet Mr. Gage
tomorrow and decide upon the prelim
inaries.
The following was received today ;
To W. ir. Harvey , Esq. , Chicago , III. :
Dear Sir The Business Men's league In
vites you to hold your debate with Hon.
Uoswcll G. Herr In this city. We uro sure
you would wish to have It take place on
neutral ground , and St. Louis Is especially
HUltable , because of the division of local
feeling and the strong following on both
sides. Our newspapers have an enormous
circulation among the people you are spe
cially desirous of reaching , and for this , as
for many reasons , this city Is excep
tionally well adapted for the purpose.
If Mr. Herr nnd yourself agree upon Bt.
Louis we shall have much pleasure in plac
ing at your disposal the large 1m 11 at the
Exposition building , which will accommo
date. D.OOO people , or the smaller hall. We
shall also ask you to consider yourselves
our guests while In Bt. Louis.
We have written Mr. Herr as to this
matter nnd hope you will both favor Bt.
Louis for the debate. Yours truly ,

named Paxton. The- latter , accompanied by
Davis , who bad recommended Paxton for
the place , came to the capltol today to see
Superintendent Kirk about the matter.
Davis and Vaughn bad some words , which

YEAR'S WORK FOR MUNCIPAL : REFORM
Intcrrntlnc I'npar Itcnil by Clinton I
Woodruff nt the .NiUlonat Uood Cltjr
( lovcrmnrnt Cuncrcss MorIn
In Scjoluu.
CLEVELAND. May 29. The Municipal
league convention wns called to order this
afternoon. There wcro a large number of
delegations present , and more arc arriving
on every train. Prior to the opening of the
convention the board of delegates held a busi
ness session ,
Tha feature of today's proceedings was a
paper by Clinton Rogers WooJruff , secretary
of the National Reform league.
Mr. Woodruff began by referring to the
rapid progress of municipal reform the un
paralleled civic awakening ami truly extra
ordinary development of Interest In municipal
affairs during the past fifteen months , and
the encouragement the movement has re
ceived. Then he detailed the process of for
mation of the various reform organizations
In dlfttrent cities of the continent and re
ferred to the unprecedented progress of or
ganized municipal reform movements , the al
ready large and constantly Increasing lltera-
turo on the subject , and the very general and
continuous discussion of It In all the leading
newspapers of the land. After discussing the
success of tli2 movement iu various cities , he
continued :
"No account of municipal reform progress
would ho complete without a reference to the
Increasing activity and co-opeiatlon of wo
man. They are rapidly coming to the front
both In their own organization ! ) , llko the
health protective associations or women's
clubs , and In organizations like the Civic
federation of Chicago , composed of men and
women. We find them contributing largely
to the study of the complex problems of the
cities. There are few communities where
women now have the right of municipal suf
frage ; hence their activity Is of necessity
limited to educational and agltatory efforts
and to looking after the details of municipal
housekeeping. Wherever their efforts have
been properly and persistently directed In
these channels substantial results have been
accomplished , for In these directions women
have exceptional capacity.
"Back of all the diversity of forms , " the
speaker continued , "wo see a sturdy , resolute
determination to remove the stigma that Is
resting upon American municipalities. It Is
the spirit of 1776 and I860 manifesting Itself
in a new way. Some of the efforts are crude ;
some destined to failure ; all to temporary
defeats , but as surely as our Independence
was won and the union preserved , just so
surely will the evil of municipal misgovernment -
ment be eventually conquered and American
cities placed where they should be In the
very front rank of well governed cities.
"What the coming year may have In store
for the movement cannot be foretold , but
of one thing we arc assured the whole ques
tion has come to be discussed as never before ,
and Its Importance has been brought home
to a large number of those who value their
political heritage and those Interested In
their country's highest development. Some
thing more than this , however , is necessary ,
a deep-seated determination to sacrifice every
thing If need be , rather than permit the
dearly earned liberties and reputation trans
mitted to us by our forefathers to ba dimin
ished or tarnished by selfish Incompetence
and Inefficiency. The present situation may
not be so dramatic as that of 1770 or I860 ,
but It Is equally as portentlotts to the future
welfare and maintenance of our republican
states. "
James W. Pryor , secretary of the City
club of New York , made a report on the
reform efforts In the metropolis. John A.
Butler , representing the Milwaukee league ,
reported that the work In that city was
being prosecuted on a definite plan and that
It had probably determined the character of
the next state legislature. Charles J. Ilona-
parte of Baltimore reported a condition of
standstill In his city with a healthy loss
In power , due , ho believed , to the fact that
their Lexow committee was appointed by
a hl-partlsan council. George liurnliam of
Philadelphia reported good progress.
GAVE THE WEST REPRESENTATION.
As the old corps of officers were all east
ern men , the organic law of the league was
so changed that the number of vlco presi
dents was Increased to five and the members
of the executive committee to nine In order
that the west could bo represented. The old
officers were re-elected and In addition
these are the western officers chosen : For
third vice president. Thomas N. Strong of
Portland , president of the Municipal league
of Portland ; for fourth vlco president , Mr.
L. E. Holden ot Cleveland ; for llftu vlco
president , Dr. H. Dlckson of New Orleans
of the Ballot Reform league of Louisiana.
Executive committee : A , L. Crocker , .presi
dent of the Minneapolis Board of Trade ;
Frank N. Hartwcll , president Good Govern
ment club of Louisiana.
A public meeting was held In the evenIng -
Ing at the First Methodist church , President
Wilson M. Day of the Cleveland Chamber
of Commerce was In the chair. James C.
Carter of Now York , president of the Na
tional Municipal league , made his annual
address , which was an Interesting exposition
of the organlratlon.
Herbert Walsh of Philadelphia followed
with an address upon the municipal condi
tion of that city , which ho said was as bad
as could be , and Charles G. Bonaparte of
Baltimore spoke In a general way of the
league's work.

DENVER , May 29. Governor Mclntyre has
decided he cannot Interfere In the warfare
between the cattlemen and the sheepmen In
northwestern Colorado until the sheriff , hav
ing exhausted all his powers In the fffort to
preserve peace , Invokes the aid of the btnte.
It Is probable that the sheep owners will give
up the plan of driving their herds ci < uth to
the railroad and drive them north to Rnwllns ,
to which no resistance will be offetcd.
