THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Three Consecutive Days of Strength Witnessed in Wheat. CORN STEADY ALL SESSION Fature Deliveries of Oats Recelve Increased Attention Provisions Stronger - Demand For Cattle Active- Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmicaco, Oct, 21.—[Special Telegram 1o the Bee.|—This is the lhlnl consecutive day of acknowledged strength in the wheat market, and the predictions of those who have all along maintained that speculators were ready to do business us soon us they could see such an active market as would warrant the hope for a profit were in part realized. It is true that local traders were the chief ones, but commission men were receiving a fair amount of orders and the situation from their point of view has materially improved within the past fow days, Receipts at primary markets were 54,000 bushels and of this Minneapolis and Duluth rece X0 bushels. Clear- ances of wheat from the seaboard were bet- ter than of late—103,000 bushels—but the chief interest in this connection was the ex- traordinary shipments of lour reported from New York, the figures being 10,220 barrels and 47,090 sucks. The receipts here were 124 cars, of which 86 were spring, and of these 11 cars graded No. 2. The mar- ket opened at 71t,¢ for November, 13@i3ke for December, and af #.¢ for May. The only ine from these figures was soon after the opening and was but slight, De- cember reaching 72 and May iSi@ 8%e, from which point prices advanced nhmm staadily to 385¢c for December, and to W@i'5c for May. These prices were not mmnunm-d however, but the decline was slight and there appeared to be no great dis- position to hammer the market, such as has heen_ previously witnessed on drop of The close was strong at 3 ember and 78%c for May. The corn market was steady all through the seasion, with but slight fluctuations and no great amount of tradiug after the first hour. The chief trading in the speculative market was in May del was exactly at \estcnl‘? s closing prices, or at 41¢ for December and 443 @447¢c for May. ‘The last named future sold m«rl) at 43¢, but in December the opening was the low point for the session. Hutchinson again bought a liberal quantity. Lack of vessel room still limits the demund for shipment and the speculative market lacks support from that cause. Theclose to-day was firm at 41@415¢ for December and 45¢ for May. Future deliveries of oats attracted in- creased attention to-day, speculation being on a more liberal scale. Near futures were weaker, under increased offerings, but there was very good buying of May and the market displayed increased strength. That lmurc sold from 20%c at the opening up to sparingly at’ the outside—and clos o'clock at October closed November at and December at The pro trade was considerably stronger, he falling off in the receipts of hogs rather restricted the desire shown re- cently by the packers and general specula tive element to sell the winter made product, and with lighter offerings prices r ulm\ higher, though the advancing movement was companied by only a limited business, Trad- ing, in fact, was slow and without particular feature.

Cnicago, Oct. 21.—[Special Telegram to the BEek.|—CatTie—The demand was more active than yesterday, with sales made more readily. Good and useful natives were scarce, not more than 4,000 of all sorts out of the 9,000 fresh cattle. As to prices, there seemed little or no change. Some salesmen, however, claimed they were getting a slight advance on nice handy steers, but buyers generally held that they were buying fully @s cheap as yesterday. The substantial fact was that more stock was wanted and that alone is as good as a slight advance. Salesmen who had large lots of rangers and Texans claimed an advance of at least 10¢ and a good demand for their class of stock. Native butchers' stock was selling as low as at any time. There was a fair business in stockers and feeders. The buy- ers, however, were mainly yard speculators, yet they seemed to have faith in the near future and look for & better market next woek.

New Youk, Oct. 21.- [Special Telegram to the Ber.]—Srocks—The stock market took snother spurt and higher prices were re- corded on all the leading properties. Trading was spasmodic, but reached a liberal aggre- gate. Foreigners bought fairly. Better buying was also noted by local traders who have held off for some time. The executive committees of eastern trunk lines were re- ported to have decided to restore rates at their meeting yesterday to the highest point reached in mounths. Gould's friends are said to have bought heavily the past four days on the pointers from the latter. His exact posi- tion on the market, however, remains as much of u mystery as ever, some claiming that he has been a heavy buyer through brokers that he has not used for several years. The bears held a conference last night, but had littie to say about their plans, but admitted that prices might be advanced still further, but believed the market would soon be of good sale. The Northern Pacific- Orcgon Railway and Navigation deal has been settled. By the terms of the deal the Oregon Navigation company’s lines are cut in two at Snake River Junction. The North- ern Pacific leases and operates all east of that point, including the Palouse branch. The Union Pacific operates all west of Snake River. Northern Pacific through business to Portland is prorated on the milcage basis for that portion of the road between Snake River aud Portland. Villard is to become president of the Oregon Transcontinental and @ settlement is arranged between the Northern Pacific and Oregon Transconti- nental by which the latter withdraws its claims for $3,000,000, the Northern Pacific vice versa. All the luwsuits between the two companics are also to be withdrawn, Prices for Oregon Railway & Navigation ad- vanced % and Oregon Transcontinental i, but broke J¢ per cent, the effect of the deal baving evidently been discounted. Grangers, Coalers and Vanderbilts were strong and ad- yanced J@1X points. New England devel- dped surprising strength and jumped wp 13¢ per ceut. The rest of the list was firm with gains extending to 1/, points, A decided chunge took place in the last hour. Hoiders began realizing on their carly purchases, The buying was insufiicient to support the advance and a sharp decline resulted, last sales being at nearly the lowest prices of the day, with the advance about all lost. The total sales were 342,420 shares, against 388,172 yesterda, Goversmexts—Government bonds were dull but firm, YESTERDAY'S QUOTATIONS, Chicago & Alton, o prmma 7 o preterred lllmnl» (\l‘ll'lul Fake Sivore Ly :Iupn-rom-d S4ia Texas Paciflc i |Union Pacifl lvl (W SLL &P wiapreferred .

It is too often the voice of these men that speaks in our daily press. When you hear that Mr. John Johnson is the choice of the Nineteenth district for congressman, it generally means that the nswmblnge St ‘roughs” which fgcalled a primaty has managed to make an_arrangement with Mr. Johnson by which, in the event of his election, they are fo receive a share of the offices or appointments which mn{ be at his disposal. If, for instance, he is able to get an appropria- tion for & so-called improvement in a navigable creek of the Ninetecnth dis- trict, why, the contract is to be given to the leader of the ‘‘roughs,” and he is to employ the minor “‘roughs” as clerks or laborers. Of course, such men will not do their work well, but that is noth- ing to Mr. Johnson. He gets his elec- tion and they get the gu\u‘nmn.uv. (] money. Now we maintain that it is of no real importantance to the nation what these men want or think or feel. They are not old war-horses, or faithful servants of the public, or any of the various names that their enthusiastic trade pa- pers call them. They are of no more use to the cnmmunm than the coolie dealers on the Pacific coastor the “‘run- ners” for sailor boarding houses in New York. Itisabad lhmg for the country that the papers make much of such men; echo their opinions, comment on their prognostications, and treat them gener ally as re) resentatives of the people. arcel of men WHO I8 UNACQUAINTED WITH TRB GEOGRAVEY OV ¥NIS GOUNTAY WILL SKE BY EXANINING TRIS NAF THAT THE anscontinenta: system tes aud facllitates travel and trafio between the ) Chicags ...3 (e restful Recling a For tickets maps, 207 desirea | Iaformati ke Usited & n and rye whiskies, §1. 50 lmplomonh CHURCHILL PARKER, Dealer in A@’lcnmral lmnlelllelnxL_Vla_(_nu_gl o Dnaha, Kebrasiar """LININGER & METCALF CO., Agricaltura] mplements, Wagons, carrlml Buggies, Kte.
