THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat Takes an Upward Turn Ot Weather Reports. DISCOUNTING CORRESPONDENTS Corn is in Better Tone—Oats Higher and Provisions Decldedly bull— Good Oattle Advance and Hogs Better Prices. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cn1oaco, June 10,—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—The wheat market opened strong and somewhat higher on weather news con- strued to be unfavorable to harvesting in the southwest and to the development of spring wheat In the northwest, Too much rain is firged in the one case and not enough in the other, June rose from 70){c to 80!ge, July from 77){ to T13@775c, and December from 7730 o 7i%c. Unconfirmed reports of rain fn the Red River valley and rather more zaniality in the provailing temporature gave a bearish tone to the market, and thereafter the tendency of prices was to decline. The market eased off about 3{c, and at_the de- cline did not display any vigorous powers of recovery. The visible supply showed a de- crease of 1,313,000 bushels, which, trough large was below the expectations, The total is now down to 18,502,932 bushels, against 25,758,000 bushels a year ago, and 42,112,000 bushels two yoarsago, The Chicago stocks are only 8,065,000 bushels, all held; and New York stocks are 8,372,000 bushels. The ex- ports of wheat and flour from the Atlantic ports for the last week foot up 1.809,000 bushals, against 849,000 bushels for the cor- responding weelk last year. The clearances from New York to-day were 181,000 bushels, and anywhere from 10 to 15 boat londs were reported as ‘‘new business.”” Cables were dull, but a decrease of nearly 70,000 bushels in New York stocks, in one week, indicates the existence of a tangible foreign demund for the property. In thelocal market a fair de- mand for cash wheat is reported, and the prop- erty is firmly held at the material advance from the .prices ruling & week ago. St. Louis fired in a grist of bear news, and re- ported an active demand from country points for sacks to store wheat in, one firm reporting the shipment of 64,000 sacks last week. Cash wheat is l]rmly held in St. Louis, however, as well as elsewhere. Crop news from the northwest are of a contra- dictory character, but the weight of testi- mony subports the theory thAt the Red river country is in_urgent need of rain, and that, at best, only an average crop of spring wheat can be raised. The Minneapolis market is well supported these days. The principul type of speculation, to-day, was the forthcoming of the government report. There were fewer tips and pointers in circu- lation regarding the report than usual, but the common opinion scemed to be that it would show an impairment of 5 to 6 ints in the condition from the date of the ast report, The idea was expressed, how- ever, that the desire to bull granger stocks might have been strong enough to color the reports of correspondents: to some extent, and make tho situation appear better than the facts warranted. No espceial weight at- tached to that idea: however, the local market ruled dull and spiritless during the last hour, with the price of July ana Decem- ber dragging below 77c, and, most of tho time, aroupd or under 763{c. e last prices were as follows: June 89¢e. July 76%c, September 743c, December 76%c, and the year 7ic. As compared with Saturday’s closing range, this set of firures shows a ;er{ small change, except that June 1s J§c igher. Eold, rainy weather prevailing over a large area of the corn belt, together with dimin- 18hing receipts were the causes which influ- enced the minds of speculators and produced a firm market and higher prices. The visble supply was expectod to show a very little in- crease for the weel and the actual figures showing 422,000 bushels increase was some- what of a disappointment to the speculators for a rise. 'lgu receipts were a trifle less than the previous estimates and for to-mor- row, which will include two days’ inspec- tion, only 530 cars are expected. 'There was no great activity in either the cash or specu- lative branches of business. There were no reports from the English markets owing to the holiday there, but the domestic markets appeared to take their tone from the firm- ness prevailing here and were all slightly higher. The export clearances were liberal and the shipments hence were fairly en- couraging to hoiders. The etrength of the market was helped early in the day by the firmness in wheat; but later on, when this support was withdrawn, there was still enough of the early firmness left in corn to show that it was upheld chiefly by circum- stances peculiar to 1self. The closing prices Bhow gains of }4c over those current at the close of business on Saturday. 1In oats the visible supply showed but hittle change, while there was the handsome de- crease, last weelk, of 550,035 bushels in local stocks, owing to the excellent shipping de- mand. This was an element of strength, to- day, with one sale of 100,000 bushels in June, taken for immediate deliv- ery. The speculation market was quiet but strong eurly, and from 3 to 3{c higher, followed by a later tone of “easi- ness. ‘The shorts bought considerable and there was some changing into long futures, but the demand was soon satisfied. July at ono tine touched 228/@22%{c, and September 22J¢c and I.vm'k to 23}{0. with'a fair trade in June around 223c. No. 2 oats, 0 go to store, were }{c higher, at 22}c, Iu provisions, the week opened with no new feature, and very little life to trade. The shorts continued " their buying of short ribs, but in lard and pork there was no move- ment to speak of. Outside orders for all description of products were limited, and the small business witnessed was transacted wholly by local traders. Values were held steudy, and fluctuations were confined to NArrowW ranges; in pork, their limits were only from 5¢ to 7c; in lard, 23¢c, and in -nnrt ribs from 2)¢c to be. CHIOI\GQ LIVE S8TOCR MARKET. OmicAGo, June 10.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bgee.|—Carrie.~-As will be noted the run is 5,000 less than a week ago. Busir all along the line was active from the atart, and the abscnco of dressed beof qualitics of Texans influenced such strong competition for all desirable handy-weight, con-fed na- tive steers that such grades changed hands readily at 5@10c advance. Extra heavy beeves, though finally making strong prices, were slow of sale. Distillery-fed cattle also dragied early, but before the finish found an outlet at excellent figures. Rough, fleshy natives,showing more or less on grass,moved with an indifferent tone and developed the fact that they were unreliable property to base values upon. The native cow and bull markey, owing to the scant supply of Texans, ruled strong, choice lots selling a shade higher. Texas cattle, on sale, were mostly cauning ods; but, as the offerings were insufficient or the urgent needs of the demaud, sellers exacted an advance of from 100 to 156, _The stocker and feeder market, as usual on Mon- day, received but Little attention from out- sido buyers, the day’s trading being nearly all done by yard speculators.

Hoos—The supply fell far below the esti- mates of Suturday, and 91,000 below the number last Monday, iusiness oponed brisk, with an upturn of about B5e, with carly sales largely at $1.40, but. tho specula- tors were tho leading buyers, the packers bolding off, and biding their tune until near the close, when tho speculators had to let go or get left. Then the packers and other Jate buyers got all they wanted at from be to 100 lower than at the opeuing, or, say, 8450 or $4.85, Licht sorts sold early at §4. 50, and singelng sorts at §4.05, FINANCIAL. ——— New Youx, Juue 10.—[Epeciul Telogram to Tus Ban —Swouxs—~TLe opealug of the stock market, this morning, was of that dull, weak kind which several times of late has been followed by an notlvn an \!(ong clos- ing, The first fignres wére } et ceny wnder the close ogY Inst wéek, fnd 1n tho early dealings there were further - concessions of 3¢ to % per cent.

The dreadful loss of life and destruc- tion of property by the breaking of a reservoir near Johnstown, Penn., re- is, among other great disasters of u liko kind, one that marked the close of the year 1887 in China as one of mourn- ing for millions. In regard to this flooa, caused by the Honag-Ho river breaking through ‘its restraining walls, The Cin- cinnati Enquirer London News Bureau, on January 5, cabled as follows: *“The special correspondent of the London Standard at Shanghai gives a graphic picture of the tremendpus loss of life in China from the overflow of the Hoang-To river and n tremendous fam- ine that is threatened. It says thatone sixth ul the area of the Garden of China, as No-Nan is styled, is converted into a gigantic lake, with only pagoda tops or the towers of high walls to mark the sites where once stood prosperous citics of thousands of inhabitants. The rest of the country is overflowed with wretched fugitives, In hundreds of in- stances men of wealth to-day gaze on the land sen, stunned, hungry, stupid and dejected, with neither rags to cover them nor food to :,nmfy the cravings of their appetites. The inundation commenced in little district, a short distance from Kaifung-Fu, one of the largest cities in the province,and in one instant four miles of solid bank ot stone, brick, sand and clay was swept away. In the dis- triets of Ching-Chow and Chencow 8,000 large villages were ingulphed in o few moments, and but few lives were saved, as the deluge occurred in the night- time. The extent of the disaster can better be understood by adding a state- ment that the territory is about as large as Wales, and more thickly popu- lated, and that territory was made o raging sea, and in it all were drowned. The population of the district can not fall short of that of lowa, as the prov- ince includes 25,000,000 inhabitants, with an area of 65,000 square miles, and the waters cover eight thousand or ten thousand square miles of it. The Pekin Guzette says that when the waters rushed into the cities, sweeping walls, houses and whole' villages away, the people refused to stir, and met death with indifference. For, as is well known, the Celestial is a fatalist of the most pronounced type. Accord- ing to the best estimates the loss of life will not be thousands or tens of thous- ands, but hundreds of thousands, while the starving people will number a mil- the lion, utterly hnygars and dependent tor e on_charity. A subsequent dispateh, sent a month later to'the En ?u\rer, stated that the loss of life would: reach nearly one mil- lion, gnd that cases of cannibalism had been discovered ——— ¥ome Chinese Expressions. ‘‘Ho la mah?” How do you do? “Ho song ya?” How is business? *Hoo.” Good or well, ‘‘Men to tay.” Biscuit. “Su Beung.” Cakes, ‘'To chen.” The Chinese good an- el UWorteghen.” “Do chen.” Good morning. “Guy Muy.” Devil girl, which is what the Chinese call a Caucasian fe- male, “Lo Fun.” White mwan, “Guy loy hen na.” 1 come to see yon. “Ne go o soy?” How old are you? ‘Lo huy in gar?” Where are'you go- ing? “Too ala.” Sit down. “Yit, gee, slam, sleo, un, low, chet, put, ger, sip.” Chinese numbers up to ten.
