Wall Street Affected by Bad Re» ports About the Crops. Stacks Open and Close with a Decline —The Manhattan Lease Bustained. A Bitter Quarrel Between Two Bulls—Finances in Chi- cngo. The Produce Marksts Irrogular—Provisions Quist and Zasy, but Stoadior. A Sharp Decline in Grain, but a Later Advance, and Firmer Closing. FINANCIAL Stocks opened and closed with declining tend encies, with an interval of streugth that was not sustained. Now York advices stated that twoof tho leading bulls bad a ylotent quarrel tho evening before and went Into the stuck tare ket determinod to punish ench otbor. During tho day thore waa n reconciliation, but tha bricks in the row bad commenced to tumble, and thoy could not be stopped. This {nforina+ don may be valuable, but it does net look so. No names wereglven, and the decline was rather too serious tu be necribed to more personal motives. A graver cause probably Hos behind the weak- ness of the atock murket. Crop news is bad, Tho ehinch-bug and tho fly ure muking such ray- fagesin the wheut tn Missouri that in somo counties therw Is not the prospect of fivo bushels tothe acre, These pests are moving enstward, They bave altendy begun to do serious ilamoge in Salige County. In flinols, tho samy inscota arent work, Tho able West ern crop editor of the Now York Journat of Com- merce telegraphs that paper from Springtield, May 243 My reports from the winter wheat belt of Tl- inois have been sv iceldcdly bad for the Inst fow days that [thought it best to go and find out more nbout the sittution, and f am nt the cup- Kulof tho State. The State Agricultural Du- partinent fully confirm all that [bad read upon the subject, and think the present winter wheat: Bitnution of great solicitude, When tho warn Wenther bogan two weeks nyo whent made at fing Start, Dut hus now for tho pust weok buelt going ‘buck, and farmers are plowing it up and plant- ing with corn, Tt looks to me to-night, atter consultation with whent-growers from all over Southurn filfnuis, that we should do well if we get ball t crop. In the fifty infles I have traveled sinco noon I have not sven a floli of first-cluse wheat, ana T have seen any numbor of farmers plowing it up and plunting the ground with corn, Railroad inslacrs know these facts ns soon ag anybody does, much sooner than tho public, and thelr knowledge of tho bad turn tho wheat crop has taken may account for some of the heavy gales of long storks mado in tho last few days. Wallstroct Is quick to discount bad érop news, and something of this sort is now go- ing on. If thore wore no other cnuse for a decline, a reaction would bo natural after so continuous an ndvanco as thut of thi last threo weeks. Manhattan decl(nod with tho rest of tho mar- kot, although an opinion was given out by cx- Clreult Judo Ditlon that tho Icase was vallu. He says: “If tho powor to leaso bxisted, which Lregurd asclenr beyond controversy, the ralid- ity of the tripartite mgrecmont, and of the leusea, 1s a necessary, logical, and lewal conse- quence.” Itwas dented 1n Now York that any arrangoment bad boen made for the payment of the July oblizations of Manhattan, and was ngain ussorted that a Receiver would be np- polnted. There has beon foavy reulizing by bull ponis. Brokers roport that the "lamba" are not doing auch, and that trading bas been confined for some time to the old stagers. This clasa bought frecly at the decline yesterday afternoon. Rights iv tho Villard “Blind Pool" wero 133 bid.
