Choice brands of canned corn are likelylto be affected by the damage to the sweet corn crop of Maine by the recent sharp frost. The loss is heavy, estimated at 1,000,000 or more, but fortunately there was & larger surplus than usual left over from last year, which, with the good pack this year in Maryland and Delaware and the good contributions looked for from the canneries of New York, New Jersoy and the west, will be amply suf- ficient to meet _all requirements, The New York Commercial Bulletin states that the corn pack of the whole country in 185 was, in round numbers, @ little over 1,000,000 cases; in 18 it was nearly 1,750,000 cases, while' last year it _exceeded 2,000,000 cascs.

Lamson Bros. & Co., of this city, yesterday wired their correspondent Memphis to learn the truth of the reports of the exist- f yellow fever there, and reccived in a dispatch which read: “The health of the city never was better.” M. De Surrell, the French consel stationed at Chicago, has made a report on American cattle to his government. He says that the losses sustained by cattle raisers during 1856 and 1587 were equal to 1,500,000 head, while in 1887 there was a falling off of 50 per cent in the production of calves. With all the loss there has not been an increase in the price of meat, and this is because ani- mals are seldom sold in_this country before they reach the age of three years, gnd tho dificulty of providing food for their cattle has caused many of the raisers to put them on the market, thus putting down the price of beef with the certainty of advancing its future cost. M. De Surrell believes that by the end of the present year the price of beef in the United States will be 30 per cent higher than it 18 now. Itis estimated that the wheat crop of France will fall at least forty million hectoli- ters below the ordinary crop. Oue of the oldest and shrewdest and most su ful ex-range cattlemen, one who got in when Texas cattle were worth $10 a_head all around, with calves thrown in, and who ot out of the business when he could sell at £.50 per head for everything, counting calves, is reported as saying that the range cattle business is now 1n good shape to make money for legitimate investors, A meeting of barb-wire manufacturers was held at the Tremont yesterday in Chicago which will very likely result in the forma- tion of a strong pool or trust in the near future. Prices are at present so low that the macufacturers claim their outlook is de- plorable as there is uo profit to be made. As far as could be learned those prescnt concluded that the only way to improve mat- ters was to continue a ' war on prices until so many were driven out of the business that a combine could be forced. 1t is probable that as soon as all manufacturers are made ac- quainted with the doings of the conference another meeting will be held of a more de- cisive character. The meeting was a thoroughly representa- tive one, manufacturers being present from as far east as New York and as far west as Iowa. H. B. Cragin of Chicago, was chair- man and G. W. Henry of Joliet, secretary. Among others present were I. L. Ellwood of De Kalb, O. M. Gregg of Crawfordsville, Ind., James Lannon of Cincinnati, and Jacob Notice to Contractors.

Cer- mpany or ropiy New York Star: A stylishly dressed young woman, who was iccompanisd by a man, entered Justice Seyemour's that her maiden name Folden, and that she came from § field, Conn., two years ago and n Edward Preston. They moved to ylvania, where her husband bought a farm. She said that her companion was James Preston, her hushand’s brother, who lived with them in Pennsylvania forn time. The woman unblushingly told the magistrate that sheliked James Preston better than her own husband, and that the latter knew it. About six months ago James married a young woman named Ida Welsh, much against the wish of her brother. James soon tired of his wife and came back to his brother’s house. The woman said that James wanted her to elope with him, but she refused. One day her husband and James went out gunning, aud when they returned they were in & happy mood. The woman said that her husband told her that his brother James wanted her, and that he, Edward, would take James’ wife, if the two women would consent to the scheme. The two wo- men were willing, but James wanted !Il,;)ufl to boot from his brother for his wife. The woman said her husband paid the money und the exchange of wives was made. She is going tolive with James, and Ida and Edward are living together. They all lived in the same house, and got along well until last Monday, when' $900 was stolen from James' room. The woman said that Edward and Ida disappeared about the same time that the money was missed, and they were believed to have come to Hoboken.

CORN QUIET BUT STRONGER. Moderate Transactions in Oats—Pro- visions Experience Quite a Boom—Cattle Dall and Weak—Hogs Active, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cuicaco, Sept. pecial Telegram to Tue Bee.|—The signs of w ness that were seen 1n the wheat market yesterday disap- peared entirely to-day. An advance of nearly 13¢c was established and the tone of, the market was firm to the end. Why it was so was confessedly beyond the ability of a great many of the bears or temporarily quict bulls to explain, The belief has been so general as to be practically unanimous, that there was going to be a continuation of the reac- tion, that the failure of the market to act in accordance with this belief is tho t to re quire explanation, For three weeks there has been an unceasing effort on the part of speculators to depress the market. They did knock pricas off 5o, the close this after noon is 2¢ above the lowest point reached on the decline. The opinion is gaining ground that the market has had its reaction, and that it is now working into a position for a further improvement. It is true that many conservative bulls do not look for advancing markets until the rush of new spring wheat is over, but they do not feel that their views upon this point are infallible. They stand 1y to fall in line and march to pronounced bull music any time. After three weeks of pounding, wheat closes to night only fractionally lower than it was three wecks ago, though fully 3¢ under the extreme outside. December opened to-d atil'ge, a gain of 1jc over last night. May was quoted at ¥5%e. This proved to be bottom. December kept keeping up v only occasional minor reactions, until prices touched 92!4¢, withiu the “split,” of which it rested at the close. May left off at Wiice. The volume of trading was large, taken as a whote. There were dull sons, but the pit was a scene of activity most of the session The lust end of the market was the strongest spot. Corn was rather quiet to-day, but the feel- ing was somewhat stronger for the futures, due partially to the better tone in wheat, and at the close seller October was about 1 ¢ higher thau it closed last night; November 14c higher, and seller May about '.¢ higher, There was not much activity in trade and the market developed no special feature, and there was little in the situation to intluence prices to any appreciable extent, Oats opened a trifie firmer on near futures, though at no time was much activity dis- played, and the market soon ruled easior and nearly steady all along the hne, with all futures between the next month and Ma, quite neglected. The supply was fair and inquiry of only modcrate proportions. September and October both touched 24’ o carly, with most of the trading around and May firm to x¢ highel in fair request and stead in store, and wost of the trading in cash oats sample. l‘ru\'l’wm s closed the week with thing of a boom for the different specul i The tariet cted sharply from the depression that has lately controlled it, and much to the gratification of holder ad- vanced in adecided muaner.

Cricaco, Sept. 15.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—Catrie—Trade was dull and prices weak from the opening to the close on everything from top to bottom. There was no exception; fat stock, cow stock, bull stock, Texans and rangers all sold slow and a shade lower, the general market closing weak with a large number unsold. Last night at the close the market showed a higher range of values thau a week ago on western range cattle that were good enough for exportor to make the best grade of dressed beef for home consumption, and lower prices on all that lacked in quality or fat, or both, The decline is owing to liberal receipts of medium Texaus and those of poor quality, and receipts of quite a number of range cattle from scctions where there has been some drouth. There is quite o demand for range cattle for export the past fow duys, owing to the scarcity of good corn fed natives. Good range natives of 1400 Ibs average and over will be sold to exporters from mow on, and we expect to see prices go higher on very best grades, while we see no reason for prices to ¢o lower on more common grades. Heavy receipts any one day may cause a temporary decline bnt the general market on_grangers is liable to remain steady. A big run of cattle is looked for next week from the west, and heavy shipments are expected from the territory 1n the Mississippi valley affccted by the extraordinary drouth of the past the next six wecks.

An Increased Demand for Money From the West. PLENTY OF FUNDS TO MEET | The Jobbing Trade in a Healthy Con- dition—An Active Week in Wall Strect—Fair Speculation in Grain and Provisions, The Money Market. Cuicaao, Sopt. 15.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee. ] —The elief feature at the banks during the week was the increased demand for money from grain dealers at other points that look to Chicago for funds, and the terri tory covered by such borrowers includes the entire winter and spring wheat belt. The demand for such purposes is also expected to materially incrcase, especially from the northwest, where spring wheat is just now starting to market. Calls for funds from other branches of trade and ndustries are also equal to recent avorages, But there is an ample supply of funds available for such purposes, and desirable customers ave readily accommodated. Call and thirty-days loans on gilt-cdged signatures and collaterals are made to Chicago borrowers at hadlg per cent where larze sums are wanted. Business sig natures in good standing generally pay 6@7 and small borrowers 8 per cent. Advances on grain at other points are usually av 6@? per cent. The lateness at which the spring wheat movement has commenced, and the fact that the export demand continues small justifies the conclusion that the bulk of the crop will Le leld in western elevators all winter. It also seems ain that the amount of money absorbed by corn dealers in the intorior, where corn is ik to be cribbed in unusually large quantitie: be heavy. More than an averase loans is also expected from cattle feeders, but the supply promises to equal require- meuts, and while money is likely to find in creased employment the tew months, there is no probability of a ity that will justify high rates.

St. Paul declined 71§ and for the week 8ig, the rest of the market going off ¢ to 4 points. Long stocks were thrown over promiscuously. London took a hand in the selling and disposed of over 80,000 shares of St. Paul in one day and out of a total of 484,710 shares traded in Thurs- day St. Paul furmshed 118,506, The short mterest in Grangers and Vanderbilts was increased, the latter being sold on the re- duction in eastbound grain rates. Sharp covering on extreme declines caused sharp rallies, but the market has received 00 severe o shock to recover itself m a day or two. Efforts are being made to restore rates in nearly all directions, Also to con- solidate the Western and Northwestern traffic associations and bring the different factions into closer relations, but it requires considerable time to bring all roaas into ompact to restore rates to a paying basis. The earnings of the leading roads show fair gains, but they will have to keep on increas- ing their business at present rates to enable them to pay their heavy fixed charges and regular dividends. The aggrogate sales on the New York stock exchange for the w. were 2,072,245 share: Speculation in grain the past week, al- though not 8o active as the preceding one, reached a fair aggregate volume, and the range of prices was not so wide as during the preceding week, A nervous feeling pre- ailed, and prices on most of the leading speculative articles of grain and provisions, especially wheat futures averaged lower. Most of the large bulls have unloaded their wheat, The country, who have bought lib- y of late, have aiso taken their profits with a surprising degree of freedom and a) ition to get 1n azain. Arrivals have v at all the leading receiving points, but farmers as a ruie are not rushing their wheat to market with the same degree of freedom as in former years, partly because st is later and also owing to the be- lief that better prices will be secured later on, Teports from the northwestern crop are still of a conflicting nature, but the bulk of ad vices from northern Dakota confirm the reports of damage by (rost. Low tem- perature in many parts of the corn belt caused some uneéasiness regurding the safety of the crop, but the bulk is regarded as about out of danger of heavy frosts, The shippin [ d continnes large, and although r ceipts were large stocks do not have any chance to accumulate. Provisions were moderately active and prices fluctuated sharply, within a liberal range. The spread of yellow fever in the south made specu- lators rather packward about taking hold, and the market remained quict during the greater part of the weck. —_— Approved by the President.
