THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Whent Starts the Week With a Stronger and Better Tone. CORN DULL AND FEATURELESS. The Provision Pit Undergoes a Slow and Lazy Day—The Hog and Cattle Business Active— Genoral Quotations. CRHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Oni1caao, July 15.—[Special Telegram to Tuk Ber.]—The wheat market had a stroner and better tone to-day and values underwent some appreciation. In the first pluce tho re- ceipts of whoat at St. Louis and elsewhere where less than anticipated. St. Louis ex- pected 800,000 bushels and got 143,000 bushels, ‘The arrivals here amounted to 106 cars. Local Shipments were 46,000 busiels, or, at most, as much as the receipts. ‘Then it was argued that the general storms that have visited the winter wheat districts during the last forty-eight hours will causo a further delay in movements from farmers’ hands, The weather indications are still threatening. In the second place the visiblo supply decreased more than has been fizured on, the reduction amounting to 1,235,000 bush- els. This brings the total down to 12,711,- 189 bushels, against 22,418, bushels a year _ago aund 813177 bushels two yearsflzo. The oxports for lasts woek proved to be 1,206,050 bushels in wheat und flour from Auautio ports. Furthermore, cables, while for the most part quoting the old world murkets as woak, produced the impression that foreiguers ure merely paus- ing to see how far raidors on this side can depress values. Some new business was reported in New York, and Baker quated a #ale of cight boat loads for direct export from Chicago to Glasgow and another to a United Kingdom port at an advance over Saturday's closing price. A letter from Mannheim, Germany, received by Irwin, Green & Co,, indicates awell settled belief in that locality that on account of the do- ficiency in the Russian and Hungarian wheat and rye trops, Germany will want consider- able quantities of American grain from this year's crop. Altogether, the foreign situm- tion, viewed in a broad way, can not be said to be encouraging to American holders of wheat. On the other haud, reports from the winter wheat countries, particularly the southwest, and that district south of the Ohio & Mississippi road, are of tho most en- couraging kind. The crop is turning out finely as to quantity and quality. Some stories of remarkable yield are told in good faith. Ewald, of St. Louis, was on 'chauge this moruing with a story sbout u 400-acre tract in Missouri that uveraged 50 bushels to the acro. Around Belle Plaine, Kun., the returns show an average of 20 and 25 bushels and every mail brings advices of a satisfuo- tory hurvest record. But still tho big move- ment is late in gotting started. The forego- ing summary embraces the main influences that were at work to-day. The local scalp- ing crowd and their outside brethren camo down to busincss very bearish. The market nevertheless opened higher, with July quoted at 77c, August at 7oi{c, September at 76i4c und December at 781c. December, tho most popular future, fluctuated for_an hour or more between 783gc high and 77%c low, touching the latter point only once. ‘'ho market looked weak around 78c, and Linn, Hutchingon. and other professionals sold freely at that fixure. The market proved to be oversold, however, aud on the first sign of a failure to break prices it _started up with s jerk, December sailed to 875c. which int was the top, ‘though it was touched no l'&. than three times. From 78%c 1t orked back to 78c again during the last half hour. On the up-turn September went from 7 . 76}c, and July from 77c to 78c. The clos. ings were as follows: July 77i{o; August oo, Soplember T0i(o; Decomber T8icc bis shows @ small but Boalthy recovary B oI hetRaylatinat Aencest Tho ol iy of traido was just fair and tne market free from especial excitement. Corn was dull and featureless. There was nothing in the situation differing materially from its condition at tho close of the past week except the heavy rain which fell in the interval, which rather favored firmness, as 8n excess of molsture has already been the principal drawback to s successful cultiva- tion of the plant. The visible supply, again showing a decreuse, was favorably rogurded by holders, and the firmness of wheat also lent some sympathetic force to corn. The stocks in sight are now 8,043,820 busiiels, a docrease for the week of 149,619 Local stocks, however, have 'in- 17,840 bushels, amounting here now 473 bushels. Tho changos {rom Sute urduy’s closing prices were not very marked. July gained ¢ and September 1-ibo, while Qctover was woaker 1o the extent of 1-1Go. The final quotations were: July, 851 Beptember, 853 @3blgc; October, &5,{(«& My, 873¢c. ~Vessels wére chartoced hore for 278,000 bushels, Outs attracted fuir attention on the regu. lar market, averaging fully steady, with liboral inquiry for May at figures dround 251go, The big docrease in tho visible sup- Iy’ for tho week of 618,104 bushels exerted fithie or no infiuence on the market, ns. local stocks were reduced but 17,600 bushels dur- ing that time. Septemboer sold early well at 815(@21%c, and after opentng tirm av 22igc, July went to 22}(@224c, a_receiving house being a heavy seller, probably for early de- livery. No. 2 oats to go to storo were weak at 2@, Provisions were slow. In the language of su old trader, it was & ‘lazy day.” Cash buyers took' hold only moderately for this weason, and, 1n @ speculative way, there was RO sur to occasion any comment. ' The aver- age of prices, however, was a little higher than that of Saturday. ‘The hog receipts were under expectutions and that, in con- nection with an indifference upon the part of the bears tc indulge in their favorite pus- time of hammering, strengthened the mar- ket, hence the closing showed @& net advance for the day of 5c for povk, 73c for lard und 2}, @50 for short ribs, 'Lard sold for@mmediate delivery at 80.80@6.823¢ and 16-1b, green hams at 83¢c. The sales of cash cured meats reported were all made on pri- vate terms. Speculative interest was con- fined mainly to September, which sold at $11.30@11.50 for vork, $0.875¢@0.45 for lard aud 85.72565.80 for short ribs, Short ribs lard for the same month closed at the t prices quoted and pork au $11.40. Au- ust raued wbout bo undor Seplomber i Pork, 10 in 1rd wnd ¢ in Ahort ribs. Next winter's deliveries commandod less attention than last week. Pork for January sold at $10.02}¢ and lard for the same month at $6.05. CHICAGO LIVE STOOKR MARKET. Cmicaao, July 15.—~[5Special Telegram to Tus Brk |—CAtrie—Estimated receipts, 13,000; last Monday, 12,656, The demand ‘was active for anything that suited the ship- ping and export trade, with prime handy steevs selling at an advance of 10c, and about everything sold at an early hour, On the other hand, medium and fair natives, or such as had to compete with Texans, ruled slow and neglected. Native butcher stock sold lower for common and canners, and about the same us last week. The stocker and feeder trade ruled wore than ordinarily dull with feeders almost unsaleable, excopt at rumously low prices. Texaus ruled a shade lower, sud were 25@40c lower thun a weck #go.

The opening was helpea by London sending higher figures. The strength in Gould properties and Vanderbilt lines was noticeable, The trading toward the end of the bour was not as brisk as early, and after slight gains from first ficures the prices of all actine stocks declined small fractions, but still held a good fraction over tho close of last week. There was some animation among trusls, but the business done, except in Lend, was not large. Lead opened up J§ better at 255 and advanced to 20}, but reacted 1 per cent. Cotton Oil opened up 3 better at 5514, and Sugar 11§ at 112, but neither madp uny movement. Inthe hour to 12 o'clock there was a return of the early strength and railroad stocks and trusts moved up good fractions, the former under the lead of Burlington 1003 to 1013 and tho latter, Chicago Gas, 57}¢ to 583, Rock Isiand went to 853¢ and Missouri Pacific showed 11§ net gain at 704, At noon the market was dull, but at the best prices of theday. Some of the best prices were touched after 12 o'clock, when Lako Shore was held at 102, New England at 51%, Northern Pacific pre- ferred at 054, Lackawauna at 1463, Chicago Gas at 59 und Lead trustsat203(. Later hours brought heavy realizing sales and prices declined throughout the entire list. Before the close the last prices were slightly irregular and little different from thoso of Saturday, most of the morning advance being lost. The closing prices were: Jersoy Cen- tral, ex-dividend, 117}¢; Louisville, 0603 ; Lake Shore, 10 New England, 55}; Northern Pacific, preferred, f47{; Atchison, 38% ; Burlington, 100} ; Northwestern, 10073 Rock lsland 84}¢; St. Paul, 69%; Mi Pacifie, 80%; Union Pacitie, 53%; Chicago Gas trust, 38; Sugar trust, 112; Lead trust, | .

Soothing Syrup | KENT'S RED TAPE, Two Day's Will Elapse Bofors Ho Oan Repair Klood Damages. Major Balcombe, chairman of the board of public works, was abrond early and had & force of men at work repairiag to break at the corner of Farnam and Tenth streets, A question has arisen as to whore the re- sponsibility rests for the repairing of such breaks as those made by the storm of Satur- day night. Mr. Balcombe, spoaking of this phaso of the situation, said that the board of public works controlled only the streets that aro paved, and upon thoss ho already had a forco of meu employed making repairs. Streot Commissioner Kent, he said, had om- nipotent jurisdiction over the unpaved thor- oughfares, and positively refused to act upon any suggestions he might make unloss they wero first ordored by the coutoll and approved by the mayor. W en the board of public works make @y repairs, such a8 1t §8 now making at tho corner of Farnam and Tenth streets, it doos so et:tirely at its own risk and under tho supposition that the council will approve of the expendi- ture. Nothing was dons for the relief the people affectod by the storm, simply on account of the provision of the charter which makes the street commissioner independent of the board of public works. Speaking of tho necessity of a larger sewer on Thirteenth street, Major Balcombo said that, in his opinion, the proper way to drain that territory would be by laying sixteen-inch sewers on Eleventh and Twelfth streots. This, ho thought, would be more effectual than enlarging the sower in Thirteenth street. The cost would be about §2 a foot for each sewer. Somo im- provement, ho thinks, should be made at once. Major Fary, of the board, was also scen. “Wa tried,” said ho, “to correct the pres- ent condition of affairs at the last meeting of the legislature, but were defeated by the council. The ‘street commissioner should certainly be under the control of the board of public works, and what object can - bo obtained 1n making bim an independent officer, I cannot sce. The board of public works now has no power to relieve the people, and, upon my word, T sometimes wish to heaven L was not & mem- ber of that orgamzation. In Chicago, the gentleman who represents the board is authorized to expend #1,000 in a case of emergency, without the consent of the council, but here if he wutiiorize the ex- penditura of a dollar theaction is questioned, Major Balcombe gives the city a boud of 5,000 and Mr. Kierstad and 1 each give \)m'ds of £10,000, and nsidering this fact, wiy shouldn’t the council authiorize us to spend, s 200 in case of an emergency!" The members of the board wero unable to estimate the damage done by the storm. “It is a reprebensible system,” smd another officiul. Al day Sunday aud San- day night there were washouts in which human lives could have been lost, and yet neither etrect commissioner nor any other officer raises @ hand to protect the people from losing their lives by falling into them.” An Absoluts Cure.
