'Yhis is not the usual time of year to expecta bull movement, but there is every symptom now that powerful manipulations are at work to put the market up. Purchasers are becoming more confident asthe market rises, and though the public are not yet heavily interested in stocks the gains in quotations are daily attracting larger numbers into the strect. One cause of the firmness of good stocks: is an anticipated de- mand for the investment of the July dividend and interest payments. These will be large, and will seek investment.

G. M. WILSON, Cashier, BY TELEGRAPH. NEW YORK Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New York, June 19.—The market continues subject entirely to the maulpulations of Gould and other leading speculators, who, having forced out the short interest, are still left with heavy linesof stocks, which they are hoping to unload on the general public. There are still no signs of outside buyers, and unless they some in there will soon ensue a rush to sce who pan get out first. Many of the dealings from day to day are fictitious, and consist of washed gales to give the markctan advancing appear- ance. Thusthe market is bid up and possesses a degree of firmness which, while unquestiona- bic. is wholly fictitious as to its permanence. ‘The market ié purely a professional onc, and outsiders will do well to let it aloug.

Provisions were again excited, chief- jy inpork. That article took another upward jump carly, during which prominent holders unlogded freely; it then “dropped like a shot” on the call, and afterwards was more stendy at about the closing figures of Friday. Lard was rather tame. Grain was easier, us a consequence of fine weather, oats being quite weak, while corm was comparatively steady, though lower. Wheat was unsettled, but did not break badly. Possibly the dccision of the Committee in re- gard to May wheat had some influence in re- straining short sellers, while it did not appear to inerease the demand to fill Junc contracts. The reported shipments of grain were again large, but the receipts showed an increase, and some thought that those of corn will be much larger during the coming week. Mess pork closed 734¢ higher, at $11-24G@11.25 seller July and $U.2%4G@11.35 for August. Lard closed 2 shade firmer, at $6.75 sellor July and $6.77%4@6.60 for August. Short ribs closed at $6.6214@6.65 for July. Spring wheat closed K@ Ke lower, at 923{c for June and 914 for July. Corn closed 4c lower, at 35@35xe for June and *YxS@I5%e for July. Oats declined %@le, clos- ing at 27igefor June and 26%G@26%e for July. Rye was slow at 75 spot. Barley was quiet at 65e for cash extra 3. Hogs were tirmer at 34.10@ 4.30 for light and at $4.10@4.50 tor heavy. Cattle were quiet and weak at $2.50G4.75. Dry goods remain very quiet. as is usually tho case nt this stage of the season. Prices show 2 leaning in buyers’ favor, though the quotable changes are few. There was an active grocery market and a firm set of prices. For sugars the demand is most urgent. Although jobbers are straining every nerve, they tind it impossibic to meet the wants of their customers with anything Jike satisfactory promptitude, stocks having be- come reduced to an uousually low state. Prices in the meantime continue to mtove up- ward, the advance during the week amounting to%c. Coffees were tmly beld,as were also rice, sirups, and most other lines, Dricd fruits remained dul! and easy, Fish were in fair de- mand, with whitefish and trout quoted lower, and saltwater descriptions stendy. The butter and cheese markets were without new features, theformer being fairly active and firmer, and the latter dulland drooping. Oils were quict and unchanged, Cox! and pig-tron remained dull. ‘The yard lumber market was aguin active and steady. Common grades are quoted strong in sympathy witb the cargo market. The wholo- sale docks were quiet. The wool dealers re- ported little change in affairs. The receipts continue light, and buyers are taking bold slow- ly. The hides continue to sell on arrival at the current prices. Sales were quiet and steady. Hay was unchanged, being in moderate request for shipment. with ample offerings. The de- mand for poultry was fair. and previous prices were pufd for the best stock, the inquiry being chietly for chickens. Green fruits were selling freely, berries being tirmer. Exe were steady. Lake freights were in fair demand at 60 for corn and about 6¥ce for wheat to Buffalo. ‘The report of the Committce appvinted to de- termine the price of May wheat in this murket isan important document. We give it entire, a3 follows: CHICAGO, June 19. 1S—J. AX. Dwight, Es dent of the Board of Trade, Chicago—Stn: Your Com- mittee, appointed under Rule of the ener) rales of the Board of Trade to determine the value of No. 2 spring wheat in the Chicago murket on the Stet day ‘of May, and to deiermine the measure of damaves, If. any, dug on a specitic default brought to, the attention of the Cummittee, bez to report that after a very full and exhaustive presentation of the evidence presemt- ed by parties in interest, the investications consum- ing parts of several days. an a care- ful consideration of the evidence and arguments presented, they tind and determine as follows, to-wit: ‘The Committee tnd no evidence tw sustain the allegation that there was a combinution for the pur- ‘pose of extorting unreasonable damaces in cases of the nonfulfillment of contracts for the delivery of No.2 spring. wheat during May. Whether or not ihe purchases of when fur May delivery were made for the accuuat of syndicate ‘or aasocistion of principals acting through different comuissiun merchants, the Committee do not feel called upon to determine, no poaire evidence to that effect having been produced. I'he evidenca shows'tu the entire satisfaction of the.

BLAIR, Cl folly $L13% per bu. ‘The Committ belne The decision is a remarkuble one in this re- spect: it satisfies both parties in addition to meeting the approval of a great majority of members of the Board. It is understood that two members were in favor of fixing the price at $L14, which was the figure asked by the longs in the transaction, but the other three sald “nay,” and on the next vote the Committee was unanimous for $1.134. : ; The decision was widely understood ‘as ex~ pressing the determination of the Board of "Trade to enforce the fultiilment of contracts, except in cases of manifest hardship. The rule was framed to meet such cases, and not to cn- courage repudiation of contracts by any mem- ver of the Board on either side of the deal. It is noteworthy that the “value of the wheat for sbipping purposes” docs not appear to have peen considered by the Committee. ‘The price of spot or seller the month wheat ranged from $1. 12 on the 8d to $1.19 on the ith of May; and tho average for the month was $115.58 per 100bu, or a little moro than 2c above the price fixed by the Committec. The strangest part of the proceeding. how- ever. is the fact that. after the’decision. was nn~ nounced the defendant firm voluntarily stated {ts intention to settle on the busi of Sit. It seems that the purty for whom the tirm was acting insisted ou a default being made, and tho firm felt obliged to default for the purpose of finding out at what price it must scttle with its customer. ‘The firm, therefore, insists on losing $200, being %e on each of 40,000 bu, in ‘preference to being regarded as in-favor of yiolating contracts. This is high moral ground, but no higher than should be taken by a busi- nessman. The firm has only done its duty, but is none the less deserving of credit, PROVISIONS. HOG PRODUCTS—Were less active and very Ir- regutar, bot averaged higber. Pork wus- excited early, several purties Duying under the fenr that there would be a much greater advanceg but lending longs were free sellers, and when this was dlecovered buy- ers held off, the result being a sudden drop to tirst principles, after which the market wus steadier.

Be that us it’ may,—aond bygones are bygones,—it was agreed at the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, that the Elector of Brandenburg, -by way of indem- nity for that portion of Pomerania taken away from him by the rupacious Swedes, should re~ ceive the Duchy of Mudgeburg, in reversion, on the death of its ruler George, second son of ‘the Elector Johann George 1. of Saxony, and In con- rity with this treaty condition the burly Brandenburger on the sth of June, 1680, entered into possession of the territory in question with an unresisted cuse in retrospective view, where- of the Montenegrins, if at all given to the study of Prussian history, must have additional cause to. foc] tho bitterness of their hard fate; and from that time to this, with the excep tion of the inglorious period of Napoleon's supremacy, the city and province have belonged to the Hohenzollerns.

Flat Contradictions ia Ames’ Statements. Gen. Garfield’s Own Candid Explana- tion of the Whole Matter. The following letter from the distinguished Democratic lawyer, Judge Black, addressed to Mr. Blaine, when Speaker of the House, is strong and clear about the connection of Gen. Garfield with the Credit Mobilier stock transac- tions: “ PHILADELPUIA, Feb. 15, 1973.—M¥ Dar Sin: From the beginning of the investigation concern ing Mr. Antes! mse of the Credit Mobilter, I believed that Gen. Garfield was free from all guilty connec- tion with that business. This opinion was fourd- ed not merely on my confidence in his integrity, but un some special Knowlcaye uf his case. I may have told you all about it in conversation, but I desire now to repeat it by way of reminder. “Tassert unhesitatingly that, whatever Gen. Garficid may have dove or forborne to ‘do, he acted In profound ignorance of the nature and character of the thing which Mr. Ames was pro- posing to sell. He had not the slightest suspicion that he was to be tuken into a ring organized tor the purpose of defrauding the public, nor gid be know that the stock was inany manner connected with anything which came, or could come, within the legislative jurisdiction of Con- gress. The case against him lacks the scienter which alone constitutes guilt, “ Ip the winter of 1869-70 I told Gen. Garfield of the fact that his name was on Ames’ list; that Ames charged him with being one of his distributees; expleined to him the character, origin, and objects of the Credit Mobilicr pointed out the connection it had with Con; gressional legislation, and showed him how im- posible it was fora member of Con, to old stock in it without bringing his private in- -terests in contlict with his public duty. That all this was to hfm a perfectly pew revelation Iam as sure as I can be of such fact, or of any fact which {s capable of being proved only by moral efreumstances. He told me then the whole story of Train's offer to him, and Anes’ subsequent solicitation, and his own action in the premises, much as he details it to the Committee. Idonot undertake to reproduce the conversation, but the effect of it all was to convince me thorough- ly that when he listened to Ames be was perfectly ufconseious of any evil. I watched carefully every word that fell from him on this point, and did not regard his narrative of the transaction in other respects with much interest, becuuse in my view everything cise was insignificant. [ did not carc whether he had made a bargain technically binding or not, his integrity depend- ed upon the question whether he actec with his eyes open. If be had known thetrue character of the proposition madeto him he would not have endured it, much less embraced jt. “Now, couple with this Mr. Ames’ admission that he gave no explanation whatever of the mutter to Gen. Garlield, then reflect that not & roof exists to show that he Jearned anything aboutit previous to conversation with me, and L think you will say that it is alto- gether unjust to put him on the listof those who knowingly and willfully joined the fraudu- lent assoofation in question. 3.8. Buses.” Now as to the whole transaction and what Gen. Garfield had to say of it: “ The points of agreement and difference be- tween Gen. Garfield's testimony and Mr, mes” may thus be stated: They ugree that soon after the beginning or the session of 1667-"68, Bir. Ames offered to sell Gen. Garfield ten shares of Credit-Mobilier stock ut par and accrued inter- est;. that Gen. Garfield never puid bim any money on that offer: that Gen. Garfield never received a certificate of stock; that after the’ month -of June, 1888, Gen. Gartield never re- ceived, demanded, or was offered any dividend inany form on thatstock. They also agre that Gen. Garfield once received from Mr. Ames asmallsum of money. On the following points they disagreed: Mr. Ames claims that Gon. Gar- field agreed to take the stock. Gen. Garfield de- nieg it. Mr. Ames claims that Gon. Gurtield re- ceived from him $329, and no more, as a belance of dividends on the stock. Gen. Garfield de- | nied it, and asserted that he borrowed from bim 3300 and no more, and afterward re- turned it, and that he never received auything from him on account of stock “Now as totheproof. Partof the memoranda offered by Mr. Ames in evidence were the entries in his diary for The account entered un- der Gen. Garfield’s name was one of three not crossed off, which Mr, Ames. sspitined was be- gause it bad never been settled or adjusted.

By comparing ths account with the entry made in diary, us first quoted, it will be seen that they ure not duplicates either in sub- since oF Jorn and ee in male iene a new element is added—namely: an alleged payment of $20 in cash June 1%. ‘This is the very ele-. ment in dispute. The pretended proof that this sum was paid Gen. Garticld is found in the pro-- duction of acheck drawn by Mr. Ames on the Sergeant-at-Arms, The following is the lzn- .guage of the check as reported in the testi- mony: “ ‘Jone 22, 1868.—Pay O. A. or bearer three hundred and twenty-nine dollars_und charge to wy account. “*OAKES AMES.” “This check bears no indorsement or other marks than the words and figures given above. Icwas drawn on the id day of June, and, 03 sbown by the books of the Sergeant-at-Arms, was paid the same day. But if this check was pald to Gen. Gariield on the uccount just quoted it must have been delivered to him three days before it was drawn, for the necount says that he received payment on the 19th of June. “Gen. Gartield himself hus made a review of the whole subject, and fromit claims that the following conclusions are clearly established by the apne “*Phat L neither purchased nor agreed to pur- chase the Credit-Mubilier stock which Sir. “ames offered to sell me, nor did I receive any dividend arising from it. ‘This appears not only from my own testimony, but from that tirst given by Mr. Ames, which is not overthrown by his subse- quent statements, and is strongly confirmed by the fact that in the case of each of those who did purchase tho stock there wns produced us evi- dence of tho sale cithera certificate of stock, receipt of puyment, a check drawn in the name of the payec, or entrics in Mr. Ames’ diary of uo stuck account, marked ud- dusted and closed, but that no one ot these | evidences. existed in reference tome. This position is further confirmed by the subsequent testimony of Mr. Ames, who though he claimed that I'did receive $329 frou him on account of stock. yet be repentedly tes- titled that beyond that amount I never received or demanded any dividend, that none was ever offered to me, nor was the subject alluded to in. conversation. Mr. Ames admitted tn his testi- mony that nfter December, 1&7, the various stock ‘and bond dividends amounted to an ag. Sregate of more than 800 per cent, and that be- tween January, 1868. and May, 18tt, all. these dividends were puid to sever of those who purehased stock. My conduct wus wholly incon, sistent with the supposition of sich ownership. for during the year 1880 [ was botrowing money to build 2 house in Washington, and securing my creditors by mortgages on my property, and all this time it is admitted that! ruvetved no dividends and claimed none. ‘The attempt to prove u sale of the stock to me is Whully incon- clusive, for it rests firston a check payable to Mr. Ames himself, concerning whith he said several times in his testimony ky did not know to whom it was pull: and. ce ond, upon “.oose, undated entries: {n is diary, which neither prove asate of the stock nor any paymentonit. The only faq from which it {s possible for Mr. Ames to Inve tte ferred an agreeinent to buy the stock wis the loantomeof $30. But that loan was made months befure the cheek of June 2, 1805 and was repuid in tho’ winter of 180, and after that date there were no transactions of nny sort be- tween us, and before the Investigution was ended Mr. Ames adinitted that on the chief potnt of ditference between us he tnizhe be mistaken “*That the offer which Mr. Ames made to me, as I understood it, was one which involved no wrong Or impropriety.
