'NEW YOUK , July 21. The foregone con
clusion that the tariff quetlon would bs
nettieil and the continued prospects for good
cereal and cotton crcpi lent the stock mar
ket further strength today , except . .f the
llnal half hour , whsn short sales and some
prollt-taklng diminished the day's rise a
fraction , .while trivial losses were suffered
by Sugar. Lead. Chicago das and the Head-
Inc rhiires , Commission houses bought lib
erally In the early dea ing , as did London ,
although It wan a ho'ldny there The move ,
ment In the grangers was slightly mixed ,
winr Itock Island gaining a fraction , while
llurllngton and St Paul remained statlon-
nrv and Omaha and Northwestern receded
slightly , St Paul hal shown some tem
porary strength on having earned more for
the third week In July than ever , exce-.t
In 1S2. On moder.UP dealings the soutn-
westerns showed pome Improvement , Mis
souri Paclllc gaining Hi The Baltimore

terest. General Hlectilc , exceptionally , fell
2 per cent from the l.iltlal price , hut It
closed with n net losn of a point. Advances
of n point or more were- scored In the fol

Central Pacific. Delawaie & Hudson. Den

High record price * hnvn been the ru e
rather than the- exception for the week un
der the- stimulus of the approaching tariff
sealeinent and the combination of good
crops at home and shortages abroad.
"Wheat , on the week's tremendous exports ,
about S.0u0,0r < 9 bushels , had made an ex
treme ndvanco of 4lc and a net rl e of l * c.
with but three weeks before the crop Is ab
solutely assured. There be-lng no unfavora-
bin advices , stocks continued the steady ad
vance of the past two months and displayed
IrreMstlblo strength , and predictions were
not wanting that the boom In 1S97-1S9S might
bo duplicating that of im-lSS ) . A variety of
favorable IntluenccJi operated to buntr about
the buojancy In the -week's block market ,
Chief of them was the compromise on tha
tariff schedule with the Knowledge- that It
would speedily effect a rapli rise In cereals
on Inc to heavy export onierg arums from
the decreased world's visible supply. The
lareo engagements of cargoes for llrazll ,
Austria , Peru. Argentine and other wheat-
producing countries disclosed the needs of
the foreign markets for our surplus and In
fluenced tremendous trading In the grain
market , where the shorts were badly
nuieezed. This circumstance was re
flected In the value of the
granger and southwestern shares
to a notable extent on the theory that
farmers , being ; enriched by the Improved
prices for their products , would expend a
portion of their proceeds , o that the rail-
roadr would secure a lucrative westbound
tonnage , as well as Increased transporta
tion * rates on grain. The policy of severe
retrenchment which many lines underwent
durlnsr the late period c-f depression , which
forced some roads Into bankruptcy and
scaled dividend disbursements In others ,
would make an economical handling of the
westbound tonnage , which would augur well
for net receipts and would provide more
liberally far dividend payments. Exchanges
at the various clearing houses reflected n
larger business. Commercial failures are de-
crralnK and resumption of Industrial anima
tion , together with more optitnUtlc trade
advlcfs Ecnerally , unsettled the market : and
usually unsettling Influences were disre
garded , as the engagement of U.SOO.OCU gold

CHICAGO , July 2)-Wheat ) closed strong
today nt nn advance of 14 cents. There vv.u
nothlntf mide public that suggested nny
radical change In the tltuatlon , although
strenuous claims were made of serious dam-
ace to the sptlng wheat crop by excessive
rains. Corn vva-s strong throughout on hot
winds west and light country offering" ,
gaining ' 40 O.its also Improvid * nc. Provi
sions were dull , but sympathized with the
strength In the cereals and gained 2'fe'O'lOc.
The Liverpool market declined Hid for the
September future , but quoted spot un-
chnged. That showing n much smaller de
cline than had taken place here on the two
preceding days revived the drooping spirits
of the bull crowd and was the chief reason
for the llrst spurt In price. Continental
homes were good buyers of December wheat.
A numbtr of complaints were received , how
ever , from the northwest of excessive mois
ture Itijurlnu vvhe.il and of Its having flooded
lands. Chicago receipts were 121 cars , of
which 114 v.ere new , and 112.000 bu. were
Inspected out of store A year ago 161 car-
lo.irts were Inspected , 159 of which were new.
Minneapolis antl Duluth received today 442
cars against SfJ the corresponding week of
the jear before. The clearances of wheat
and Hour from both co.ists for the week
were 1.97S.S25 bu , or about 410,000 bu. more
than last vvutk and compared with 3,073tJOO
bu on the similar week of the previous year
The woild's shipments to Curoxj | for the
week were estimated at 4,40i ) bu. The ship
ments from principal Atlantic ports were
liberal , being tn.ua ! iO 5TO.COO bu. , 4 ,000 bu.
of which were In 'he raw grain. Wheat
opened with a verj K > neral demand for Sep
tember at a sihude o'er the price at which
It closed jesterday. Offerings vvt-re light to
begin with , and In flvi minutes or so It had
added INc to the lowes liqures made around
the start , nnd In flvo minutes more It was
down ataln to the original bottom price. In
another live minutes It had dropped Uc more.
The figures weto il c and 71V.-C at the start
The that buying was very general among
commission house * , local ppecuitors and
scalpers , but the bujlnc rush qukkly sub
sided and n bc.ir raid brought a smart re
action from 71c for September to "l c ,
which proved to bo the low point of the ses
sion. 'Ihe decline to TlKc referred to did
not last lonp. There was a quick rally to
71'sc , and a leisurely advance of Vic more ,
followed by a fen swift bounds tint took
It to 72c , rc.ictc < ] to 72Vc , and took an
other spurt to 7 * 0. After that the bears
were too much demoralized to do anything
The oudden rKe had what seemed a very In
adequate explanation for so unamlmous a
buvin/i fever as nccompinied It The houie
that has leccntly floured * so prominently as
the leadlnc commission house fur the bulla
had an order for. It was said , not over 200-
000 bu. . but coming at a .moment when i
majority of the crowd were short , the pres
tige of the house was juch that heller j
disappeared for a time , and although the
price was 71a/ic when tlu gal their order , It
was up to 72"ic before they were able to
fill more than 75.000 bu. of It The scare
lasted until the close of the Cession and

Receipts of cattle for the past week were
smaller than for the week before , but larger
than two weeks ago. The receipts were
the largest since the last week In June.
CATTLtt Only sltseven loids of cattle
were reported In the yards , and a third of
them were consigned direct to pickers , so
that there were not very many cattle of
anv kind offered for sale.
The demand was good and what cattle
there were here met with ready Bale at
good pricey. That app les to all kinds of
cattle , killers and feeders alike Uverv thing
w.isold early , and the > ards were de
serted soon after the middle of the forenoon
The fat cattle sold principally Inside the
range , $325'ij345 ' , with a $4 60 top A few
"Ittle heifers brought f4 03. but there wa *
nothing vei > notable among the sales
The cattle market of the past week was ,
decidedly In the ivller's favor. Light re
ceipts and active demand , both loe.il and
shipping , combined to give values a stead )
upward tendency , which VMS maintained all
the week Each da > 's nirtrket was a little
stronger or higher than the day before , and
bv the end of the week values were fu ly
! Uli20c higher Iran at the close of the
previous week. While the advance was
the mo-t marked on the better grades.
It applied to all kinds in a g : eater
grades , it applied to all kinds In a greater
or less degree and to feeders as well as to
killers In addition to being higher. It has
been active as well , and each daj's receipt-
hav i met with ready sa'e on arrival

State Auditor Mnjhcvv. In a private let
ter received here today. sa > s that the pub
lished stories that he attempted to prevent
the state Investigating committee from ex
amining his affairs Is wholly false Ho
savs : "The statement was published In the
form of an Interview with a member of tint
committee tint my deputy , Mr. Anderson ,
and myself refused to answer questions
asked by the commission. The fact la Iho
commission did not visit this offlce until t'.iey
came to get their pay after having put li
four or five da > s of time looking over the
Insurance books that they procured fioiu
Insurance Commissioner Klpp They did not
summon mjself or Mr. Anderson 01 an > on9
else so far as I can learn. Ihcy did not
ask me any questions except whether I
would bo governed by the opinion of the at
torney geneial In the matter of auditing
their claims , and this I declined to answer
In advance of the tiling of ULs opinion. So
far as Mr Anderson Is concerned , they dl 1
a little unclllclal talking with him , in which
he told them that he wtiuld talk with them
freely as Individuals , but did not recognlzo
them as a commission , and If they wanted
anything olflclal from hl.n their way would
bo to subpoena him ns a witness. They
seemed to realize fully that they had no
power. The } have now all gone home and
thl * is probably the last of Governor Lee'a
famous Investigating committee. "

IIOCK SPRINGS , \Vyo. , July 24. ( Spe
cial. ) The eon of Union Pacific Agent
Leve.sn.U6 of this place returned jeaterilay
from the Alaska gold fields , where ha
cleared up upwards of $50.000 in gold. Mr.
Lovesquo states that the reports of extreme
cold weather In the bonanza region have
been exaggerated. The thermometer never
falls below 3S or 40 degrees below zero and
thcro U no wind , so that the cold is not so
penetrating as It is here. The hardships
are many but are more than compensated
by the richness of the diggings. , Mr.
Lcveaque will return to Alaska soon.
