THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, 1 Ohicago Epecnlators Oome on ‘Ohange Ready for a Bear Raid. BUT CORN GOES UP INSTEAD. ‘Wheat Also Jumps a Peg, ana Closes at the Top—Only a Light Trade in Oats—Quota- tions, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. OntcAco, August 6,—[Special Telegram Bgg.]—The local erowd came down to busi- ness cockea and primed for a further break In corn and wheat. Wheat opened weak. Both cereals soid off }c from the openinz, BSeptember wheat touching €8¢ and Septem- ber corn 30%¢@30%c. This weakness lasted not to exceed half an hour. Thereafter firm- ness, accompanied by an advance, were the features of the trade. Local influences are generally bearish on corn and the predilec- tion to sell on bulges; great and small, is well @efined. Thespeculative offerings yesterday and for the first hour to-day were very heavy, but the public never for a moment stobved buying, and when sellers withdrew to catch thelr breath there was a clamor for “more corn.” The popular demand was far from being satistied. Thero 18 a noisy and numer- fcally large speculative element which will not believe that the crop has been hurt by the drought, and proof to the contrary, piled mountain high, produced no more effect than rain drops on a duck’s back, The fatal- 1stic notion that crops will be an average one, and that ‘“‘what isto be will be,” has taken full possession of 75 per cent of the bears. August corn opened at 40c, sold down to 30%@30%c, advanced to 40'{c, eased off agaln to 89%c, advanced doring v the last half hour to 40¢c, and closed at40%c. Ogtober opened at dlc, sold down to 40%e, advanced to dlc, delivered to d0Je, cinbed rapidly to 413¢c and closed at 414@ 41%c. May started in at e, sold off e, then advanced to 44'ic, dropped back to 44c, bul to 447¢c and closed at 4434c. heat for Septemuver opened at BSi¢c. re- ceeded to 08¢, advanced to e, easing off 2@ ¢ several times, butelosing firm at ‘the lop. October opened at 70'{e, sold off to 693¢c, advanced to 703{c and closed at 70%c. December sold off from 73i¢e at the opening to Tc and closed at 74c. The market was quiet and very narrow and to the latter cir- cumstance is due the advance, Mvery little ‘operty being offered with which to fill out- standing contracts for the bears, who are constitutionally opposed to going home Sat- urday night with trades open, Cables came in weak, and fe gners who had bids in re- duced their limits 1c per bushel. The week’s statistics were favorable to the bulls, how- a}lfl. The western points receipts show a falling off of 500,000 bushels, as compared with last week, ana the seaboard clearances are, within 100,000 bushels of last week’s big total. This, it is thought, assured an in- crease of less than 100,000 bushels in the visible. ‘The speculative stagnation Is dis- beartening to the bulls, however. There was a light trade in oats and the speculative market was without special fea- tures, Prices fluctuated narrowly and @,(cyexm than yesterday " for de- verfes beyond August. KFor cash ‘and this month’s dellvery the tendency was down- ‘ward owing to the continued large receipts, n provisions the week closed with a fair showing of Interest. There was no particu- lar nctivity in the trading, yet the market was closely watched and toward the close at least a strong uhdertone was plainly noticeable. Karly in the session, however, the bear side fLad to call fof time. The closings showed an advance of 214@5¢ on lard, while short ribs averaged zlgc ower for near delivery. January short ribs were advanced be. September sold at $0.55@0.62%¢ for Iard and $7.92)¢@s.05 for short ribs, closing at $06.60 and 38.02}{ re- spectively. August lard was 5@7c and ugust short ribs 5c under September. Octo- ber was 10c over Se}immber for lard and 2} under for short ribs. = Pork closed at 10.50 for September and $16.60 for October. ‘The product for next winter's delivery was stronger, CHICAGO LIVE STOOK.

NEw YOoRK, August 6,—[Special Telegram to the Brx.|—~StoCcKks,—Contrary to expecta- tions, the market opened easier and broke ¥ off fractionally. The shorts who bought the most stocks yesterday had covered the bulk of their holdings and there was less support to the mwarket, particularly as about 50 per cont of the active traders were not in the ex- change. St. Paul and Northern Pacific were the wenkest stocks on the list and broke 1 point. Western Union also broke 1 point. ‘The bears, who regarded all rallies as the best time to sell, began offering stocks more freely than buyers were able to take them, and the whole list weakened gradually untila half hour before the close, when the bank statewent came In and much to the surprise of all exhibited a decrease in revenue of 81,208,420, This had a depressing effect, and values déclined rapidly and the market closed tame at inside prices. The only strong stock was Richmond Terminal preferred, which advanced from 61 to 63, The total sales wera 106,386 shares, including 21,000 shares of Reading, 9,100 shages of Western Union, 7,900 Lackawanna, 7250 New Englaud, 10,000 St. Paul, 8,100 Northwestern.

Saturday, Aug 6, Oattge. The run of eattle to-day was the same as yesterday, The demand for good eurn-fed natives was a little better and the market firm. Thero was considerable competition between the buyers of that class of cattle, and by bidding against each other ‘were run up above anything sold in many weeks. One bunch went at $4.25 al one at $4.50, bus those prices could not be considered as the market. It requires good corn-fed natives to bring $4.00, and it is to be doubted if any of the cattlecoming in now would sell much” pbove that, It , If sold on their merits. The market was about steady on butchers’ stock and feeders, but was slow.

George Boetel, Millard, was in and mar- keted a load of 310-1b hogs at the top price. W. I1. Austin, Franklin, came in with two loads of hogs, which sold on the market. E. W. Banks, Shelton, was in with a load of hogs and also to looK after some feeders. D, P. Tipton, Brownville, son of ex- Scnator Tipton, was among the visitors at the yards. J. E. Thompgon, the well known Council Bluffs shippef, was over with one load of very good hogs. Conklin & Co. had fifteen loads of corn-fed steersin from York. They did not arrive until after the market closed. C. Graham, Ravenna, topped the market to-day with a load ot 272-1b hogs. His load yesterday also topped the market. ‘The Lucas Land and Cattle company, Ben- edict, marketed 84 head of native steers aver- :llklng 1,426 1bs at $4.30, the top for a long ne. Gallogley, Shlelds and Morrill, Chapman were all here with seven loads of corn-fe western cattle of their own feeding.

Mr. Johnston is feeding 1,400 head of sheep. Shippers are liable to be misled by the high prices on the cattle market to-day, and they must bear in mind that the market was ex- cited owing to the competition between the buyers. Under different circumstances the samo cattle might not have brought over ¥or somo time past efforts have been made to have a better mail service at South Omaha. To-day Mr. J. B. Blanchard called upon the authorities at the Omaha post-oftice and succeeded in lmvlmfitnsnewssnry orders issued to the postal clerks to open the Omaha packages and put e South Omaha mail in a ue}pnmw vouch, to be dropped at the proper place. ‘The following letter has been received by the secretary of the Stock Yards company: Dear Sir: At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of this association, held recently, the following resolutions adopted by the Mon- tana Stock Growers’ association were unani- mously endorsed : Whereas, The practice of selling cattle upon the markets of Chicago, St. Paul, 8t. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City for a fixed price per head 18 considered by every member of this association to be un- fair, unjust and against the best interests of the Industry, especially with reference to range cattle: ‘therefore, be it resolved, That the commission salesmen of the above men- tioned cities be requested to remedy this great evil by chunwz the present method of selling cattle at per head, regardiess of value, to one per cent (1 per cent) of the gross sales. I was {nstructed to communi- cate with all the stock yards on this subject. \Villl)'ou kindly lay the matter before the members ot the stock yards you represent at the next meeting. Yours fruly, Wyomin, Stock Growers' association, Thomas B. Adams, secretary. A meeting has heen called for Monday afternoon to eonsider the uestion. It is not likely, however, that t! uz commission men will agree to the propo- sition.

Howard Pyle, in Harper's Magazine briefly narrates the prineipal career of the boldest buc- caneer of the sixteenth ceutury, as fol- events in the ows: The greatest of all the buceaneers, he who stands pre-eminent among them, and whose name even to this day charm to call up his deeds of daring, his truculent cruelty, and his insatiste and unappeasable lust for gold. Henry Morgan, the bold Welshman, who brought buccaneeri flower of its glory. was Captain to the height and aving sold himself, after the manner of the times, for his pas- sage across the seas, he worked out his time of servitude at the Barbadoes. soon as he had regained his liberty he en- tered upon the trade of piracy, wherein he soon reached a position of consider- able prominence. The first attempt that Captain Henry made - agalost y any sale for coid at town in. the Spunish Indies was the bold descent upon the city of Puerto Principe, in the island of Cuba, with a mere handful of men. It was a deed the boldness of which has never been outdone by anything of a like na- ture—not even tho famous attack upon Panamw itself. Thence they returned to their boats in the very face of the whole island of Cuba, aroused and_determined upon their extermination, Not only did they make good their escape, but “they brought away with them a vast smount of plunder, computed at 800,000 picces of eight, besides 500 head of cattle and many prisoners held for ransom. But when the division of all this wealth came to be made, lo! there were only 50,000 preces of eight to be found. Wh had become of the rest no man could tell but Captain Henry Morgan himself. Honesty among thieves was never an axiom with him. Rude, truculent and dishonest, as Captain Morgan was, he s to have had a wonderful power of persuading the wild buccaneers under him to submit everything to his judg- ment, and to rely entirely upon his wun’f. In spite of the vast sum of money that he had very evidently made away vith, recruits poured in upon him_until his band was larger and better equipped than ever, The next towns to sufler were poor Maracaybo and Gibraitar, now just’ be- ginning to recover from the desolation wrought by L'Olonoise. Onee more both towns were plunee of every bale of merchandise and of every piastre, and once more both were ransomed until everything w squeezed from the wretched inh ants, Here affairs were likely to have taken aturn for when Cap- tain Morgan came up from’ Gibraltar, he found three great men of-war lying in the entrance to the awaiting his coming. Seeing that he was hemmed in in the narrow sheet of water, Captain Morgan was inclined to compromise mat- ters, even offering to rehinquish all the plunder he had gained if he were allowed to depart in peace. But no; the Spanish admiral would hear nothing of this. Hay- ing the pirates, as he thought, sceurely in his grasp, he would relinquish noth- ing, but would sweep them from the face of the sca once and forever. T'hat was an_ unlucky determinatlon for the Spaniards to reach, for instead of paralyzing the pirates with fear, as he expected it would do, it simply turned their mad courage into as mad despera tion. A great vessel that they had taken with the town of Maracaybo was con- verted into a fire-ship, manned with logs of wood in montera caps and sailor jack- ets. and filled with brimstone, piteh and palm leaves soaked in oil. Then out of the lake the sailors sailed to meect the Spanmards, the fire- ship leading the way, and bear- ing down directly apon the admiral's vessel, At the héim stood volunteers, the most desperate and the bravest of all the Flrn(n gang, and at the ports stood the ogs of wood in montera caps. So th:-{ came up with the adnural, and _grappled with his ship 1n spite of the thunder of all his great guns, and then the Spaniard saw, all too late, what his opponent reall He tried to swing loose, but clouds of smoke and almost instantly a mass of roaring flames enveloped both vessels, and the admiral was lost. The second vessel,not wishing to wait for the ocoming of the pirates, bore down upon the fort, under the guns of which the cowardly crew sank her, and made the Dest of their way to the shore. The third vessel not having an ovportunity to es- be, was taken by the pirates without slightast resistance, and the passage from the Inke was cleared. So the bue- cancers sailed away, leaving Maracaybo and Gibralter prostrate a second time. And now Captain Morgan determined to undertake another venture, the like of which had never been equalled in all the annals of buccaneering. This was noth- ing less than the descent upon and the capture of Panama, which was, next to Cartagena, perhaps, the most powerful and the most strongly fortified city in the West Indies. Down they poured upon Panama, and out came the Spaniards to meet them—200 horse,2,500 foot and 2,000 wild bulls which had been herded to- gether to be driven over the buccancers 80 that their ranks might be disordered and broken. The buccaneers were only 800 strong; the others had cither fal- len'in battle or had dropped along the dreary pathway through the wilderness; but in the space of two hours the Spaniards were flying wadly over the plain, minus 600 who lay dead or dying behind them. As for the bulls, as many of them as were shot served as food there and then for the half-famished pirates, for the buccaneers were never more at home than in the slaughter of cattle. Then they marched toward the city. Three hours more fighting and they were in the streets, howling, ing, gorging, dram-dri olling, lvlumh-r- ing and giving full vent to all the vile and nameless lusts that burned in their hearts like a hell of fire. And now followed the usual sequence of events—rapine, cruelty and extortion; only this time there was no town to ransom, for Morgan had give orders that 1t should be destroyed. The torch was touched to it, and Panama, one of the greatest towns in the New World, was swept from the face of the earth, hy the deed was done no man but Morgan can tell. Perhaps it was that all the secret hiding places for treas- ure might be brought to light; but what- ever the reason was it lay hidden in the breast of the great buccaneer himself. For three weeks Morgan and his men abided 1n this dreadful y;.hlm-; then they marched away with 175 beasts of burden loaded with treasures of gold and silver and jewels, besides great quantities of merchandise and 600 prisoners held for ransom. Whatever became of that vast wealth, and whatitamounted to, no man ever knew, for when a divi- ade it was found that there 200 pieces of eight to each was only man, W hen this division was declared a how! of execration went up, under which even Captain Henry Morgan quailed, At night he and four other commanders slipped their cables and ran out to sea, and it was said that these divided the greater part of the booty among them- selves. But the wealth plundered at Panama could hardly have fallen short of $1,500,000. Computing it at this rea- sonable figure, the various prizes won by Henry Morgan in the West Indies would stand as follows: Porto Belio, $800,000; Puerto Principe, $700,000; Maracaybo and Gibraltar, $400,000; various piracies, 000—making a grand total of £3,650,000 as the vast harvest of plunder. With this fabulous wealth wrenched from the Spamards by means of the rack and the cord and pilfered from his companions by the meanest of thieving, Captain Henry Morgan retired from business, honored of all, rendered fa- mous by his deeds, knighted by the good King Charles 11, and finally appointed governor of the rich island of Jamuica. Other buccaneers followed him. Cam- peche was taken and sacked, and even Cartagena itself tell; but with Henry Morgan culminated the glory of the buc- e , and from that time they clined in power and wealth and wick ness until they were finall J.
