They wero an exultant crowd, with the bulls corre- spondingly depressed. Where the present “slump” in prices will stop no on 18 prepared to say. All that large operators know is that the market won't liold up, and they are let- ting things take their own course. Operators Took on the present break as only a temporary one, The only reason that bears advance in support of their position i that there is no likelihood of war between England and Russia, and that En%l:nd bought all the wheat she wants during the late flurry. They roint to the fact that the export demand has allen off, only two and_one-half, boat loads glnz out yesterday, The chief interest on 0 floor contered in the wheat pit, whero a good deal of excitement reigned at different periods durlng the morning session. The July option had closed yesterday at 89ic, and it opened to-day with a continuation of ' yes- terday’s wenkness at 80jc. Mot of the orders received by brokers were to sell, and in a little time the option sold down to 880, At this point the local shorts stepped in to cover and it rected to 89k, The big bears then started the music. They threw quanti- ties of stuff on the already weak market and broke it down to 88fo. The local ehorts again covered and eent it back to 89c and after this a lull came, the price holding batween that price and 83%¢ for some time, But the bears were not satisfied and persistently pounded it until they got it down to 88¢ and it ciosed a point above this at 1p. m. Altogether the crowd was rather glad to get a_breathing spell before the re- newal of hostilities on the afternoon session CORN. The corn market presents but a very few if any features, the excitement in wheat draw- ine the attention of the crowd. There were no notably large transactions, The June option opened at 45c, dc under the close yes- terday; sold up to 46hc, down to 45}c, and closed at 45fc, all the fluctuations being in sympathy with wheat. PROVISIONS, In provisons thera was hardly anything done until after 12 o’clock.

The close was $10.62}, CATTLE, The market opened slow and at ashade lower prices, making fat cattle a strong 10@ 1bc lower than on Monday, some salesmen quoting a decline of 16@20c on fat cattle, "'aking a drove of distillers this morniog as a comparison, that sold for $56.15, that class would be about 20c lower, as on Monday a drove out of the same lot and nearly the same average so'd for $5,85, There were but few range or Texas cattle on the market to-day. The range cattle mentioned yesterday, 305 head, were bought by asyndicate of atock cattle dealers at $4.25. They averaged 1,004 pounds, and will make splendid stock to go on grass, ~Another drove of the same sort was on the market to.day, Hutchera’ stock is not as plentiful as it was yesterday aud is selling a shade firmer, although there has been a drop of 15@25 on low grades and canning stock.

Williams, who was onulnlllr selected for that office but whose commission was withheld in order to allow the president further time to consider fully the wishes of the residents of the district, It was found that whilo both_men were strongly endorsed for the place, Mr, Camptell was evidently the choice of a larger praportion of the democratic party of the state, mcluding the congressional delegation, A gentleman ocoupying a high judicial position in Towa, in whose judgment the premdent has especial confidence, endorsed both applicants, and at first was understood to have a preference for Mr. Williams, However, when ha was specifically_consulted on the subject, which was after” Williams’ commission had been signed but before it had been delivered, and he expressed the opinion that Mr, Camp- bell was a better man for the place, This fact, in connection with Mr, Campbell’s strong endorsement by the democratic congressmen and other prominent Towa democrats, Infla- enced the president to recall the commission of Williams and llvpninc Campbell to the marshalship.

He farther holds, in regard to mutilated bonds, that they cannot be redeemed unless the treasury department is satisfied that the parts presented are all that remain of the bonds, or, n other words, that the unproduced parts must be satisfactorily accounted for, Dr. Taylor, microscopists of the department of agriculture, has been studying the crystals of butter and butterine and has embodied his conclusions In a paper on the subject read be- fore the microscopical society, He believes the detrement of spurious butter has been made easy and certain, He finds the crystal- line formation and action in the genuine and spurious entirely different, The commissioner of pensions has decided adversely upon the application for a pension of one Dawson, of company T, West Virginia cavalry, who joined the confederate service while a prisoner, He alleged the enlistment was for the purpose of escaping to the federal lines at a farorable opportunity.

ANGELL'S RELEASE, THR PULLMAN DEFAULTER, Special Telegram to The Bik. Jouren, TIl,, May 27,—To-morrow morning Charles Angell, the noted d:faulter, will be froe, He was the secretary of the Pullman palace car company for several years before he went wrong and handled (sums of half a million dollars at a time. In the summer of 1878 he bolted with §118,000, of which $90,000 was in bonds and the rest in cash, He man- aged to make good his escape and went to Euarope, The Pullman company had out re- wards for his capture and an additional per cent for the money recovered, Angell finally beeame tired of being a fugitive and while in Lisbon, Portugal, telegraphed his where- abouts. Capt. Whitney Frank, a detective in the employ of the government, stationed at London, brought him to Chicago on February 26,1870, When arrested ho had 875,000 on his person, The taciturnity of the man was naver so forcikly exemplified as in the three days which intervened between his return and his sentence to the penitentiary. He abso- lutely refused to say a word regarding his es cape, except to Pallman, Justice, usually so tardy, was io this case more than usually briek, The culprit pleaded guilty to larceny and was hustled off to Joliet on ten years’ sentence, His smooth suavity never deserted him through the whole affair, and he was the same smooth, polished gentleman when locked ap in coll 43 of the Cook county jail as when foted in seciety.

Yet all this s logical, and should not exclte surprise. It may not be, ina broad sense, politic; but it is logical, consldered from a purely democratlo standpoint, The south elected Mr. Oleveland, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,no doubt, went for him, but the north as such, was more republican than democratic. And there 1s nncertalnty as to the futare policy of the north, The south is not likely to change. 1t is the stronghold of democracy. How nataral to give it a large share of the offices. And this belng adopted as a_policy, it was hard to run clear of the brigadiers, So many of them are to be fourd at the sonth, and they absorb so entirely the political influence of that reglon, that to select at all is to take them, Hence, viewed from a rigldly democratic stand- polnt, it Is not strange that the courne fs pursued that ls complained of. Viewed, however, from a larger range, and the polley 18 unwise. The country is not prepared for the undue prominence of the rebellion, or of those who were prominent Init. And the part of the couutry that will be aptto remember the undue bestow- ment of favora on southern officers in the Iate rebellion will be the north, The difficalty fs one the president cannot avold, Perhaps he s doing the only thing possible, The good or i1l effect of the policy will be seen when the term is made up and the people pats judgment on his offic!al career. But just now it looks as If an undue amount of ex,con- federate Is obtruded. MARRIED AT THIE MUSEUM. The Armless Man United to the Lady of His Choice, The dudes on exhibition at the dime museum were all in a flatter thls morn- ing over tne nuptials os the armless man, In honor of which a speclal performance was glven, and white tles were at a pre- mium. After they had arranged thelr tollets, shortly after noon, they marched down to the theater and took the seats reserved for them on tho front row. The orchestra struck up a lively wed- ding march, in which the bass drum performed the leading solos, and Joha Huber, the armless wonder, accompan- led by a blushing blonde of 21 years, Miss Sadie Bonsteln, walked slowly down tho center aisle, preceded by Frank Brown, the best man, and Mrs, Magglo Brown, who sustained the young lady in the abzence of bridesmaids. The couple took positions in tho cenfer of the etage amid the plaudits of the audience sud the falnt cheers of the dudes. Rev. George R Harding, a methodlst eplecopal miasionery, whose church is located in Patchogue, N. Y., then performed the marriage cer- emony. The bridegroom answered the the questions bravely, and cast frequent winks at the envious dudes, but the bride's respontes were falnt and modeat. When the part of the ceremony relating to marrlage ring was reached, a difficalty arose. The code expressly etipu- lated ‘‘that the bridegroom must place the ring on hils wife's finger with his right hand.” As this was out of the question, the reverend gentleman finally declded that the code did not mean to enforce impossibilitles and he allowed that portlon of the ceremony to be dispensed with, At the conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple were given an informal reception in the mu- seum office by the dudes. e —— SHRINKAGE IN SUGAR And a Prolp:ntl;;_lnmne Over the | b Prevailing Low Prices of the Article, A penny saved {s a penny earned, says an old proverb, and now is the time the enterprising and frugal housewlfe may earn many a penny by going “‘long” on the sugar she will require for her pre- serves, A blg boom s coming in the prices of sugar, and by the time the preserving season comes it will be much higher than the present ab- normally low price. In fact there has slready been a materlal advance, and this year there will be very little beet sugar imported into this country, if any at all, The great demoralization of the sogar Industry has been brought about by the enormous growth of the sugar beet trade in Europe, especially in Germany, whers nearly half of the whole yleld Is grown. ‘he total consumption of sugar in the world is 4,000,000 tons a year, and during the last few years the output of the beet sugar crop in Europe increased from about 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 tons. This abnormal increase led to an Immense over-production last year, causlng de- moralization in prices, so that many ralssrs made no money, and to-day the artlole i below coet. LAST YEAR'S OVER-PRODUCTION, The estimated production of sugar in Europe this year was: In France, 325,- 000 tons; in Germrny, 1,150,000 tone; In Austria, 540,000 tons; in Russla and Poland, 335,000 tons, and In Holland and other countries, 50,000 tons. It has been dlscovered, however, that the crop in some places will fall short of last year's much as 30 per cent in some places, while in nearly all others {t will be at least 20 per cent less, The total faillog off in tons wlll be about 490,000, e —— +'He's Got to Live Somehow.” Wall Street News.
