%, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Operators Still Afrald of Wheat Despite BuMsh News. CORN RULES ACTIVE BUT WEAK, Oats Steady But Without Special Fea- ture--Provisions Slow—A Fair Business in Cattle and Hogs at Steady Prices. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Uni0a6o, July 14.-[Special Telegram to Titk Bee. |A very light business was done in the wheat pit to-day. Trade was largely local and may be properly deseribed as of a scalping character, A portion of the Hutch- inson wheat was sgain resold to-day for the twentieth time, but what the sore-backed operator was actually doing no oue was pre- pared to say by authority.” “There isa strong market and a weak crowd,” was the way onetrader put it. “1t is a sogzy market and everybody is afraid of it,”” said another. It is quite certam that the market was not weighed down by the pressure of iong wheat or by unlimited speculative offorings. 1t fooks now like an oversold market, aud if it should turn out that the Hutchinson line really remams “intact’ as many insist, there may be “‘action ahead. However, there was mighty little action to-day. Fluctuations were within 8¢ limits, and price changes were on small trading. Foreign news, par- ticularly that which came late, was very bullish. Shortly before noon a Minneapolis party was wired that a sale of 200 cars of flour had been made at 3d above yes- terday's asking price, and a few mo- ments later another dispatch came that Smyth of Liverpool had just bought 16,000 barrels of flour additional at the ures asked when whest was B¢ higher in Chicago. Crop advices, that are sifting in from all quarters of the spring and winter wheat districts, are far less roseate than those which huve been arriving for the last couplc f weeks. The opening was weak at esterday’s closing range, but prices rmnu{ht off to T3%¢ for Aumlnt and Slige for Decomber. The market rebounded y and easily and advanced J5¢ under llw influence of a moderate demand from or three leading scalpers and active cov. g by shorts from 793¢ for August and 82i{c for December. The market slowly worked back and closed with an undertone of strength a shade better than yesterday. ']‘h(‘ July promium over August remains at orn as active but weak most of the day, though early in the session the market made & display of strength. The appearance of gameness proved decept and from 473{c for August and 47ic for Septembor the market declined to 47c. The dosm;: was 4715¢ for July and September and 4715 @047 5 ¢ for August. This range is e under yes- day. The depression in corn was caused largely by the liquidation of *“‘country corn,” it is thought, um\ by local selling due to the prospect of increased receipts for some timo to come, Tu oats there were few features of interest and only a tair degree of activity shown. The day’s business was at substantially steady prices, and sales were confined within a nar- TOW rauge, near futures attracting more at- tention than longer months, July sold early at 31c and after selling down to 80i¢c, or ige below yesterday's lowest prices, reacted to sur.c with August ruling stéady around i provisions goneral trading was a littlo slow. The open! in pork and short ribs was characterized by some activity, but in these articles, as well as in lard, business su quently dragged in a decided manner, Hogs were in light supply and higher. The product opened strong, with pork and short ribs a shade better than yesterday. Later pork broke 15c under free seliing, and closed at anet decline of 23g@ilge. Short ribs also declined 21¢(@be, but rested finally 3¢c higher than yesterday. Lard was steady and unchanged. The cash product sold freely, Speculation was confined chiefly to August and S¢ pmulm In pork the monthly carrying charge was b@ise, and in lard and short ribs generally Tige. CHICAGO LIVE STOCK, Cnicaco, July 14.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—CarrLe—Receipts, 2,800, A few loads of good steers sold out early at equaily a8 good prices as at any time yesterday. Dur- ing the week, especially the first four days, the ran was heavy and prices went down 25 @40c; after that, however, the run turned out light, when a part of the loss of the first of the weck was regained, the week finally elosing only 10@15c off, with an increase of 11,000 over last week. Low rates on live eattle to eastern points have contributed towards holding prices steady. Rail rates are down to the lowest figures on record on cattle and drossed beef. The market closes firm and prospects for corn-fed cattle for next week are good. Common grass cattle are not wanted, except at low prices. Tex- ans are preferable to common cows or com- mon steers, All cattle that were fed.corn @uring the winter and only grass this sum- mer are in light demand at 25@50c per cwt. below the above quotation. Since the in- auguration of the eastern freight war the rate on cattle from Chicago to New York has dropped 80c per 100 1bs and the dressed beef rate has dropped ble per 100 1bs, Quo- tations were 0s follows: Choice * to extra beeves, 1450 to 1600 1bs, §6,00@86.805 cdlum to good steers, 1350 to 1500 lhp 40@5.90; 1, to 1,850 108, $5.00@3. 010 1200 1bs, $4.30@4. 90| stockers and feedors ominally unchange , bulls and mixe :1 o.uu 25; Texas closed we: 950 to 1050 lbs, $3.60@4.00; 750 to loo Ju., $2.85@8,40; 600 03 700 lbs, $2.40@ 2.80; cows, 31.400@2.40, nnou—mwel pts, 8,000, Business was fair d prices llcad\' at tho opening.

The largest gain was in Lake Shore, while Grangers and the Trunks all bid well, the Burlington & Quiney making 3 and Mis- sourt Pacifie % further advance, The tone of the market improved after the opening and ruled buoyant and firm to the close. The market onened at fractional declines in some cases, but London was not selling any stocks. On the contrary, arbitrators offered to buy special ties. It was said that sales of securities had been made in London by tne bears for effect. The temper of the room was conservatively bullish. ‘The commussion heuses continued to buy, The total sales for the day were 140,814 shares, GOVERXMEN jovernment bonds wero dull but steady.

Captain Henry Hoehn, of the Cleve- land, O., police force, stood near the James bank corner a night or two ago, says an exchange, and thrusting his walking stick through a hole in the lamp post, remarked: *And a Yankee shell made that?” “Yes, a Yankee shot went through that lamp post,” answered the captain’s companion. The captain glanced at the angle of the hole and looked toward the cast, as though trying to locate the point from which the gun was fired, and as he was making the mental calculation his com- panion said: “The shot which made that hole knocked the corner off that stone, too.” The captain glanced at the broken stone mul)thon again toward the east, “And before it broke the stonc or went through the post,” remarked the captain’s companion, *'it cut aman’s leg off and killed amule,” The Clcveland&mhce offtcer dropped his cane to his side, and as a_pleasant smile played over his face, said: “Oh, I recall it all now. Once more the whole thing retur Yes, 1 re- member. It has been years since then, but now I can see it all as it was then.” “Can see what as it was then?” asked the captain’s companion, WY hy that battery planted upon the hill out there. Let’s see about where it was,” and the captain pointed to the east, by a little south. ““Yes, about there,” he continued, dropping his stick again. It was a Yankee battery and I was a member of it. The Fourth Ohio. 1 was with Sherman in those days and for weeks we had been trying to get into Atlanta, but could not. Finally we got close enough to shell the town and we went at it, but I tell you now we never wanted to do it. War, however, was then on and we fought for our government.” *So did we.” ¢Yes, and you fought hard and well. But, as [ was saying, my battery was placed on that hill, and my gun sent the first shot into this benutiful place. I did not pull the cap, but I did load the gun, and of all the shots which were fired that one alone came back to us in a story.” 0 “How so?” “Well, after we came into Atlanta we were told that the first shot had killed aman and cut a mule’s leg off, or killed a mule and cut a man’s leg off, and went through a lamp-post, Some- how I heard of the story, and remem- bering that I had loade "the first gun, it went home to me, but I had n.ully !?‘r;aouan it until you recalled the story.

RATES OF INTERESTUNCHANGED New York Exchange Fairly Active— More Life in the Stock Market ~—Transactions in Produce Exceed the Average. A Light Demand. Cnrcaco, July 14.—]Special Telegram to Tne Bee.)—No market changes were re- ported in the local money market during the week just closed. The demand from all sources for money was only fair, but bank- ers wore unable to keep the greater portion of thelr funds employed at satisfactory rates of interest. The season is approaching when more money will be required in the interior for the movement of grain, but bankers, as a rule, are weil fortified and prepared to meet any emergency. At present the balances of county banks are well maintained, but these will be drawn upon shortly. Among the overators in grain and provisions the inquiry for accommodations was moderately lighter than during tne weck previous, but their re- | quirements were readily met. was mainly in the way of money for the placing of margins on contracts. Con- siderable money has been invested in grain and provisions since the opening of the month, and this property is being = carried for future delivery. Ship- pers of grain and provisions have borrowed very little money during the week, and pack- ors are virtually out of the market. Lumber dealers were moderate borrowers, but not for very large amounts. Wholesalo mer- chants presented a fair amount of paper for discount, and they were readily accommo- dated. In a gencral way the money market is steady. Bankers insist on good collaterals, and ave inclined to be conservative. Rates of interest are without material change, ranging at 5@3% per cent for call and 5%@ 7percent for time loans. Bastern money markets have presented little more activity. Trade has revided slightly and demand for money was slightly improved. Rates of in- terest, however, have not improved, as bank- ers are well supplied with loanable funds, and borrowers are readily accommodated at @134 per cent for call and 8}@bi§ per cent for mercantile time loans. Reports from foreign markets indicate a steadier feeling in that quarter, but interest rates are unchanged. There isa little inore inquiry for money chiefly in a speculative way, The balances of leading banks show a further very marked reduction i balances. New York exchange was in moderate sup- ply and the demand was fairly active. The market was stronger and sales of round lots were made at 25@75¢ premium per $1,000 and closed steady at 25@40c.

New crops are about twa weeks late, and farmers are now engaged in their harvest work, consequently they have little time to devote'to forwarding what old grain they may have on hand for disposal. Shipments of grain from western markets have been moderately free, especially from Lake Jorts, and the export movement was fair, though considerably less than at this time last year. Supplies of all kinds are gradually diminishing, and stocks of some ar- ticles are lower than for many years past. The weathor has been somewhat unsettled in some sections of the west and reports of damage in some localities were published. Provisions have ruled lower in sympathy with the increased mlpl)ly of hogs.
