THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS Wheat Valuos Rule Higher With a | Fair Degree ot Activity. NBearish Feeling Again Shows Itsclf in the Provision Pit—Oattie | ceipts Continue Heavy— General Quotations. CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Curcaco, July 17.—[Special Telogram to Tre Bee.)—Foreign market news was bull- ish, and cables brought buying orders for both English and continextal account. 1n the American market an active inquiry is making for cash wheat at good prices, und the general situation for the time looks strong. Kentucky people who have sold wheat in Cincionati for July delivery are buying back the wheat, being unable to get the property n, and Indiana, Illinois and southweatern people are doing the samo thing here. Rains have delayed thresh- ing operations all over the winter wheat country, and wheat is not in good shape, as a rule, 10 be shipped to markets where fnspection rules are at ali vigorously en- forced. Some additions to the fund of northwestern crop dawaage information were received, but they broduced little impression. Lighter receipts than empected was & nou- Influential factor, but foreign news was of less importance to-duy. Locally values ruled higher and a fair degrec of speculative ac- tivity wus noted. The general public, by which term is meant the great army of smaller sutside traders, do not seem 10 be doing much, bt the grain trade the world over are operé.ing with considerable freo- dom and laying the foundation for the fu- ture, according to their best judgment of the situation. July and August were the strongest months on the list, but December displaved a vizor that surprised the crowd and ciosed at the outside. July opened at 79%{c and advanced to 81'4¢, react- ing, however, to S0ic and closing at Sle. August, too, was bulgy and erratic, with opening trades ranging from This month closed at 7S, operted at 773c, ranged at closed at 98370, The bulk December, which opened at 80c, buck to 193¢ and up to” T long time the price ranged & at @, with Hutchinson selling fre ly every time the market got dang ously mear S0c. During the last h hour the market zot away from him and his fellow bears and soared , closing ong at M @s0%c. Last prices averaged 14413 above yesterday's closing ran Ihe” corn market exhibited continued strongth in both the cash and speculative branches of business, Receipts are not heavy gud the shipping demand is very good. There wis a decrease in the quantity on ocean passige of 160,000 bushels. The Ilog- Lish markets were quoted very firm and buy- g for export was stimulated thereby. The amount of business transacted in the trading pitwas small and local in character. The firm feeling in the \heat market had probably some influence in holding up values. Al that can be learncd concerning the growing crops leads to anticipation of a good yield, but of course anything may huppen between now und its maturity. So, with prices already reasonably low. speculation in the meantime appe: 0 be governed by the present, supply and de- mand Prices advanced about I{c per bushel and retained the advance to the cl The final quotations were: July ¢ September 85J¢(@30c, though less dull and firmer than yesterduy. Onts were' quict and at times positively neglected, with nterest divided botween September and May. The fmprovement was about k¢ in the new crop delivery, due chiefly to sympathy with strouger markets elsewkere. - May strengthened 10 253 @255¢ and back a point, and September was wanted at22c. August sold at 213¢c and No. 2 white for next month at 25c. Iteceipts and with- rawals were both lighter, and small offer- ings of No. 2 white to go in atore sold at22i{c. n provisions the movement was again bearish. The continued free receipts of hogs at Chicago and other packing points encour- aged and developed the weak feelmg already existing. Inall departmonts of trade the bear side was in control. Trading opened 8t prices either lower than yesterday's closings, or on the downward turn, and for a portion * of the day a depressed state of uffairs prevailed. Lower pric came almost as a matter of course, and con- sequently occasioned no great cxcitement, though there was considerable activity at times. Baldwin and other recent be covered frealy their outstanding short lin and in a general way speculative operations were on a more liberal scale than of late. Aside from the selling of one or two I packers, the offers were made up largs Hoporder and poorly margined hoidings. From the bottom figurcs touched there was but_little reaction. The closings showed a decline in pork of 10c, on lard of se, and on short ribs of 10@ide. For 'cash lard sold moderately at 5, and 16-Ib. sweet pickled hams at I, green hams 8ifc was the ation was again con- ber, which sold from v down to 811023 for pork, from 6,30 for lard, and from 11 for short’ ribs. Pork for the same month closea at 111214, lard at £6.821, and_short ribs at .57, August was quoted under September for pork and short rivs, and 10c under for lard, Next wnter's deliveries sold spuringly.

Buyers did a good deal of riding around to look stock over before they were ready to make & bid. As to prices, there was a variety of opinions, salesmen quoting their sales anywhere from steady to 15 lower. As has been the case for many months past, light, haudy steers, when fat and up in style, had the preference and sold nearly steady.

The 9,000 Texans were about evenly divided between cows and steers, there being 4,000 to 5,000 cows among the arrivals, The trade was slow, with another down virn, making a drop of 40500 in the past ten or twelve days.

MILES ON MIL.ES OF GOLD. Expert's Opinion on Afric Basin. Mr. Bates Dorsey, whose opinions of the South African gold fields were re- cently alluded to in this correspondence, writes that your correspondent, in con- densing in” ovder to cable has somewiat misrepresented his meaning writes a London correspondent of the Boston Herald, “The following,” he is briefly my opinion of the Rand or Johannesberg district in the Trans- ’ Africa: The rocks of this district have evidently boen deposited from the water. On the unorthern and eastern rim or edge, the formation has been tilted up to an augle of 45 from the horizontal by eruption of igneous rocks, The stone formation will probably be found in the south and west, thus forming a busin that will probably measure over eighty miles cast and west and forty miles north aud south. In this basin are found pumer- ous strata of counglomerate, locally called blanket veefs, which are in real- ity nothing but contract veius of con- glomerate, carrying gold in varying quantities in different rcofs, though the South an | each individually, s uniform in quality and thick- ness, with the ' exception of the ' main and black reefs. These roefs have been little worked and have difforent names in different localitios or mines, They vary much in their mil) yield, from one-half an ounce of gold on the main reefl to six_ounces per ton on the middle reef. The other roefs have been comparatively little worked, The average monthly yield in the mill of tho black tis ffteen penny- weights and of the zuurbult one ounce per ton. Muny of the other mines have heon opened and assay well. Tn no part of the world have veins been found giving such a continuous and uniform yield of gold. The main reef has bheen worked for a distance of thirty miles continuously, and, with a fow breaks, it has been tested and worked twent miles farther. The lowest vield has been seven pennyweights per ton, which will pay n good working profit when the work is thoroughly organized on a large seale. Tho deepest workings at present in_ this district are about two hundred and fifty feet down in the dip of the vein. The ore found there is equal in quantity and quality to that found in the upper workings. As the yield of tho vein is so constant and ‘aniform in length, there is no apparent reuson why it should not be equally so in depth. “With well-organ- ized work on & largo seale, the total average cost of mining and milling from most of the veins here should not fairly excoed $1 per L In many cases it should be done for less. There is an abundance of od, chean, unskilled labor; good ¢ is found ncar the mincs, in some cases less than a mile diswant, and food for man and beast will ultimately be cheap, us e s abundance of !and which u be irri- gated that can raise mo; n will be required for home cousumption. The 3 ty of timber and skilled labor are the only drawbacks to cheap mining. The present cost of these will however, be largely reduced coustruction of X 11 probably tak in the near future. pse estim the costof mining aund milling upon my exverience and ohservation in the gold-producing distric of the place tes of sod United Big reports and very rich specimens come here from tihe northern distric but,as I have not seen the miues, 1 can say nothing about them from personal knowiedge. This district promisesto be the most constant in and the most productive gold region ever discovered, and investments made with judgment at moderate prices will yield large return A Maine Orator, The Oxford (N Democrat tells n story of a gentleman of the old school in Oxford county who used to aspire to all kinds of ollictal honors and soughtevery ocension to expose his oratory. He was once undertaking the feat of fording the Androseogrgin river with the old mare and wagon. Suddenly one wheel struck 1 hidden rock, while the other ttled in the sand, and the old man found himself caged beneath his wagon on the bed of the river. In relating the cir- cumstance he said: “The first thing 1 thougrht of was how I should exonerate myself, SHROEDER & DEA}I, GRAIN Frovisions = Stocks Basement First National Bank, 505 ?flull ,‘“", Slrf{?. - (A)mrulln BLAI&E I}UISSEVAEN 8:, 00, ADOLPH BOISSEVAY & C),, Amsterdam, plland, Transact o goneral banking business.
