The "letting go' was' apparently checked

In fact showing a rather bewildered fteliog

which cioted Saturday at S'SH cents , ranged

September was taking Its toboggan trip , De
cember came tumbling after , fall ng to 9I %
cents. There it brought up with a jolt and
rebounded to & 9H cent * , where It struck the
wall again and went back to 9S cents. On
tbe curb September had sold as high as

In the opining excitement , but they son
began to control the market. Liverpool
opening prices showed advances of 4 > 4@
4U petce. World's shipments lat week
amounted to 7.210.000 bushels of which
amount 3.21SOOO bushtlpcame from America ,
a fact which attracted a great deal of atten-
t.on.
t.on.All
All the buoyancy was out of wheat when
the opening bell rang on the regular board.
The hlghej-t price touched In the Initial tradIng -
Ing wa 69H cents for September , the exact
quotation et which the market closed on
Saturday. Simultaneous tale * at the opening
were all the way down a cent lower to 9S > , i
cents tor September , and a few minutes later
sales were being recorded at 97 cents and even
at 9C'/i centa. Enormous quantities ot wheat
were for cale from every direction. It was
hard to eell. buye-s being relatively verj
scarce. Harris , Counselraiin end LIndblom
were particularly foas-plcuous sellers. It
looked as If many of the holder * were availIng -
Ing of tbe excitement to realize profits by
selling.
Arourd 11 o'clock a. tendency to sag was
becoming quite noticeable end at II 13 a. in
the price for September wheat was 971 ; cents ,
or 2 cent * under the top figures reached on
the rally after the break at the opening
Corn fell away * cent to 31" * cents for Sep
tember.
The lowest point reached was 93 cents for
September , a plunge of 7H cents from the
high point oa the curb Corn sympathized with
the slump In wheat , and the first regular
trading was at 33 cents and all the way
down to 32 centa for September , es com
pared with 33g cents on the curb. After
the opening rush to sell there was come
recovery , and at 10 a , m. September wheM
was back to 95 cents , and September corn
to 2 ; = s cents. So much September wheat
was told that It looked as if the bull crowd
had distributed orders. People found it es
bard to sell the September option that they
turned around and told December ES a hedge
Tae bull crowd took up the market again
after the first thirty minutes , and tbe con
tinued strength at Liverpool bad a steadying
influence. Gradually Jbe price worked up to
SSH cents for September , ard fluctuated be
tween test p-ice and &S cents People were
satisfied now to trade In ordinary 3.050 bushe !
lots The break ID wheat , the milde :
weather and the big receipts checked the

Fra'er ' were large sellers of corn
Tp to 1 p o. thee was no further sign o !
a rally. On the contrary the final ball
hour of trading was Inaugurated with a re
markable dive for lower levels. September
wheat went headlong down over a cent In a
few moments , to 9CH cents. September
corn slid dow'n to 37 cents.

! NEW YOP.K. Aug. 23. A dUpitcn to thf
Herald from Paris says. There wems nc
1 reason to believe that the import duty os
wheat will be taken off. even tetnporarilv
There eeeina but one opinion namely , thai
to abolish the duty would merely enrich tht
speculators , derange the equilibrium of the
, budget , work serious harm to the Frencfc
cultivator , and bring no relief to the
ccntumer. An official of the ministrj ol
agriculture taid :
In years of plenty the duty h-s not been
1 able to make cultivation profitable Thii
1 jear there Is sure to be a .big deficit in tbe
' crops. The growers w 111. therefore , be abl
to derive some benefit from tbe duty. This
I thej can do without bread being forced uj
to famine prices as the party clamoring lei
thi > abolition of the duty allege Therefon
it is my personal opinion that there i ? no
' the remote p Elblllty of the government re
i rnoilng or even reducing the Import tax o :
grain. "
, Tbe Temps publishes the following inter
'view ' , unofficial It is true , but neterthelr

M Mrllne If cure to me had :
' Tbe wheat crops during the last fev
years were abundant. The market was over

tbl ! s unfortunate for the consumer , th
agriculturalist will b * able to recover torn

\ "Then again the comment made In cinaii
quarters Is exaggerated. The prices. SBC ;
as have been current tbe past week , hav
often been obtained previously without th
country starving , but serious damage w * .ul
b done If the duties were removed even fo
' u short period. Tilt Is why M Visor ha
persuaded the general council of the Lore

Tbe municipal council toted a resrlutio

Thaddcus S. Clarkson , commander-ln-cblet
f the GriJd Army of the Republic , arrived
n the city today and hi ? reception con-
tltuted the first event of the encampment.
.f ' was met at the station by local Grand
rmy of the Republic men and members of
he reception committee and escorted to the
otel , where he was officially received bj
olonel Wicans , chief of the headquarters
taff.
Among the Grand Army of the Republic
csts which have arrived are the following
"aval Post department. Pencsyliania Farra-
ut Et-j-oclatioa. U. S. Grant post and
urley pO'te. all of Philadelphia ;

During the wtek a further effort will be
made to unite the Woman's Relief corps and

iscufelon over a possible union , but It to
he desire of the Grand Army that the
enets of the Woman's Relief corjis prevail
to tbe eligibility clause and the Ladles
f the Grand Army of the Republic do not
want to give up on that point , so that the
matter of a union seems as far away as when
he two organizations took to different pathi ?
"To cherioa and emulate the deeds of our
oblc army nurses and of all loyal women
rho rendered loving service to our country
n her hours of .peril" Is the aim of the
Toman's Relief corps. The Ladies' of the

A delegation of prominent Cincinnati bus
iness men arrived tolay to press Cincinnati's
claims for the national encampment In 1&9S.
Headquarters have been opened in the Iroquois -
quois hotel. There now apjx-ars to be no
doubt that Cincinnati will have the honor
of entertaining tbe Grand Army of the Re
public next year ; In fact , there appears tone
no opposition.
The Richmond boomers arrived in town
this morning and immediately proceeded ID
work for tbe encampment ot 1S5S. There are
eighteen of Richmond's leading mea in the
larty. A prominent member of the delegi-
tlcn li Walter H. Sanary , editor and owner
of the Richmcnd State , who fald tonight

work and had every reason to be
lieve they would get the encampment In
15,59. Not a delegation approached so fa
int was in favor of Richmond , and several
member * of the committee which will have
the telectlon of tbe place are pledged tc
Richmond.
A notable enterprise which is likely tc
cnlUJ the attention of the- Grand Army dele
gates during the session bere is the ettab-
ll hment of a sanitarium for the benefit o' '
veterani of soldiers and tallo s of the wa ?

"hey were branded between the 13tb

bed their natural costs and put on their
seagoing jackets for the coming year of
heir lives. Fur seels renew their hair once
very year. Jordan has not-yet had time tc
observe the effects of the branding I wan
orcibly impressed by the fact that all scars
and wounds In the skin of fur seals healed
without a cicatrice , while studying these
animals on the islands In 1S72-74-76. It was
a very singular deviation from the law
which governs such healing in the hides of
horsEs , tattle , does and cats. J followed It
closely in 1S73. and again In 1S74 and found
t to be constant , "

and the moment M. Faure set foot on the
deck of the Imperial yacht -warm embraces
we e exchanged between the czar and the
president , which were the signal for a norm
of cheering , waving of handkerchiefs and
enthusiastic dellgnt. The sailors manned

mile and a half long. Another body ot
Afrldis , the dispatch continues , St mot Ing to *

ha\c joined In the uprl lng.
The news contained in this otSclal dispatch
Is most Important. It probably means a
protracted campaign and desperate fighting.
A general revolt of the Afrldis was what tbe
Indian government feared the mo t and it
now seems to have taken place.
SIMLA , Aug. S3. A large force of Afrldis
has Just been reporte-d to be advancing down
the Khyber pass and the so-called "Mad
Mullah , " or fanatical priest who Is Inciting
the natives of that territory against tbe
British. Is said to have collected the Moh-
tnands for > n attack on Micinlb and hab >
kadr.
The Royal Irish regiment and a repre
sentative native infantry regiment with a
battery of mountain artillery ha\c been or
dered to Kohat ,
Fightlng is reported to be proceeding at
Al-MuFjed. between the Afrldis and the
British garrison at that place.
T5.e are persistent rumors here tonight
that Fort All Musled and Fort Maude ,
which were attacked this morning by the
Aridis. have fallen Into the hands of the
enemj. but there Is no official confirmation
of the-se reports.
The go\ernment has received a written
communication from the ameer of Afghan
istan In which he denies all responsibility
for the rising of the- Mullahs or fanatical
priests of tbe different tribes. He attrib
utes the disturbances to the action of the
Mullahs , especially Hadda Mullah , who In
former years incited his people to rise M .
against him in Afghanistan , and he de i
nounces their conduct.
