THE SPECULATIVE MARKEIS. Prices in the Wheat Pit Show a Downward Tendenoy. CORN DULL AND FEATURELESS. A Good Showing of Strength Wit nessed In Provision Trading—An Active Demand For Good Cattle—Quotations, MCHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS. Cnroaco, August 9.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]—Wheat prices inclined down- ‘ward to-day, though the decline was not im- portant, viewed from a purely mathematical stand point, only amounting to @Jc. The news was bullish for the most part. The foreign markets were quoted as strong and higher on unfavorable harvest weather, and advices from the spring wheat country chronicled too much rain there. The de- mand for cash wheat is still urgent, but the table of receipts and shipments at principal points is beginning to tell the story of accu- muluting supplies at the vrincipal centers. ‘This circumstance had a depressing effect on the market, as it also had on speculation as tothe contents of tho government report due to-morrow. The prevailag opinion was that the government bulletin would be ex- ceptionally favorable, not only to wheat, but other crops as well, all foreshadowing a year of extraordinary agricultural prosperity. The usual story was afloat that a digest of the agricultural departmout’s finding had been obtained by a Wall stroet house with Intimate Chicago conneetion, but this could not be verified in any particular, and was voted & canard, The Farmer’'s Review’s 105,000,000 bushel spring wheat osti mate, though & triflo stale, came In for more unfavorable criticism, and the verdict reached on that matter was that the Review’s statistician was a mere idle guesser working on insuficient data. ‘Then a wild rumor neld the floor for a whilo that some indefinite authority had discovered that the threshing raturns clearly indicated & winter wheat crop fully twice as large as had been commonly figured. This was filed away like the other news tid bits and for- gotten. Not so the reports that circulated among the best informed men on the board that foreigners were buying heavily in Chi- cago, St. Louis and Duluth for August and September shipment. This was one of the important news features of the day, but owing to Its limited circulation, chiefly among the non-speculative classes, buy littie effect was produced on prices. How wuch has already been bought for foreignera there is no present means of knowing, but large orders continue to come in daily to buy Au- ust or September ‘‘for _shipment.” ossibly it is this knowledge that keeps ~ Hutchinson & bull when nearly all the speculative element 18 bearish or weak in their friendship for wheat. Open- ing trades were on a basis of T6}§@i6}c for August, 76)@764c for September, 78ic for Decemver, and 843{c for May. August worked up to 76¢c, December to 3S¥¢ (just touched), and May to 823c. Thereafter until nearly the close the warket dragged and drooped, and but for Hutchinson's sup- E:n of Decomber at and under 73c the whole it would have most probably gone consid- erable lower. As it was, August got to 7650, September to 76c, December to 7ijge, and May to 82i4c. There wus a fractional recov- ery at the end, August closing at 76ic, Sep- tember at 76}5c, and Decomber at 78¢. May left off at the bottom—82!4c. ‘[he corn marlket was dull and featureless, but leaning slightly towards lower price: Fluctuations were narrow and outside busi- ness scurce. The main support to the mar- ket was as it has been for some timo back—a demand {rom shippers for the cash offerings. Cables, which have almost uni- formly for months favored the bulls, were discouraging to-day. Scalpers were the vhief bidders, but even they were not inclined to do much. September opeuned at 351 @35}4c, declined to 855 @353, sold at 3540 and closed at 8557c. Oats were active and weaker to X@l{c lower, There was a good demand, but the heavy receipts, coupled with the estimated arrivals for to-morrow of 405 cars, called out liberal offerings, No. 2 white oats for near deliveries were active, with August at 243gc and Se‘}wmber at 2450 to 24 @2AIgc. Muy oate sold down to 24!{c and Septembor to ©. Withdrawals from store were small & fair trade was noted in car lotsof No. 2, chiefly to go to store at 20}{c, or Xc decline, The feature of the trade was the reported demand at New York for oats for export. Business was restricted, however, as ocean vessel room was scarce and and freights in- terfered with the movement. In provisions a good showing of strength was witnessed. Larger receipts of hogs than ‘were expected made the bears a little agres- sive around the opening, but their rule was only temporary. The depression forced by their selling was short-lived, and on the sub- sequent recovery prices advanced 10 a level higher thau that existing previous to the break. In the general range the underlying feeling was certainly strong. Operators adhered closely to their late policy in trad- ing. In all departments, however, quite a food business was transacted. For cash de- ivery 8,050 tierces of lard changed hands at 6.45 and also a fair amount of meats. A sale of 100,000 pounds of 16-1b. green hams, 1o be delivered in November and December, was reported at $7.00. A car load of 16-1b. sweet picklod hams were also sold for Sop- tember delivery at 9){c. The speculative in- terest developed jwas again confined to Sep- tember, October” sud January. Compared with yesterday's tnal nrme:a pork at the close of change stood unchanged to 5¢ higher and short ribs nnchanged to 7}¢c higher. CHIOAGO LIVE STOOR., Omi0AGO, August 9.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—Carrie.—The demand was active for all good native steers, such us ex- porters and shippers wanted, all of which s0ld out at an early hour at strong prices, in some f{nstances a shade higher than yester- day. Medium and common native steers continued neglected and hard to sell, especi- ally such as had to compete with Texans and rangers, among which were a large number of good steers, one lot of rangers making $3.60. Texans were quoted strong to 10c higher, Native butchers’ stock was rather stronger, but not quotably higher. There ‘was little or nothing going on in the stocker and feeder trade. Range steers continue to sell at $3.25@38.60 for the best, and §3.75@2.55 4.70; medium to good steers, 1,850 to m 1,200 to 1,850 lbs., $3.80@ 1 50@4.10; stockers wand o) 2@ €0 bully mixed, nfi%a.uu Bul, B2.30ws 05, slop Tod neers, Bwaiin esw” catllo were suron; s, .80 3 . $40; Batlvos and halt bresds, 050, T 1O 3 Hoee.—HBusiness was brisk mveraged about steady on heavy, as com- pared with yesterday, the bulk of the com- mon selling at u.m&,w. fair to good pack- at L80, und $4.85 for the best ers 4 heavy.

New Yonx, August 9.—|Special Telegram % Tus Bee |—Srocks—The bears did all in their power last night to convince the trade and the public, by dispatches, that the bulge o railway stocks was the result of manipulation for the purpose of fixing the market to sell on, and was not due to the ac- tion of the shorts, as it appeared at the time. They also figured that further gold ship- ments are probable becausa ot the advance of the Bank of Eugland rate and the with- Arawal of bullion to France. This argument 4id not change the sentiment much, and @ough of tho strength of Thursday was car- rled over to cause astrong opening. The first prices were steady to ¢ per cent lower than the close. London was a stroug factor' sending prices fully up to this market and buying orders in St. Paul, Union Pacific and Lake Shore, There was a modorate business, which, however, was fairly well distributed, and no marked animation was shown in any portion of the tist, although Missouri Pacifio, Northern Pacific preferred, Reading and Atchison still led in the dealings, with Lake Erie & Western preferred, and Chesapeake & Ohio following. There was little change in prices, only a drooping tendency from the first figures. Burlington & Quincy, North- ern Pacific, Chesapeake & Ohio, and Lake Erie & Western preferred moved up from J{to 3 per cent. The others afterward generally regained the shight losses of the early dealings. Trusts were not active, and Chicago Gas lost 14 to %, and sugar1 to 113, There was a period 1n the dullncss of stocks after 11 o'clock, relieved only by tho activity in Missouri Pacific, Northern Pacific prefer- red, and Union Pacific. Still later the ac- tivity and strength spread throughout the list, and prices moved up ail around. Lake Shore went to 1045, Atchison to 883, Bur- lington to 104}, Rock Island to 98%, St Paul to 723, Missouri Pacific up 1% to 731, Union Pacific up 13§ o 67, Oregon Transconti- nental 13§ to 343, and the others in smaller fractions. Late in the day sugar trusts went to pieces, gong oft noarly 5 points to 1003, This demoralized tho list, and the prices of railroad shares declined sharply. Notail the advance was lost, and closing prices were generally 3 to 3 per cent better than on Thursday. Kock Island closed ¥ under at 98, Chicago Gas 3% lower at 38}.

The market was abont as dul factory as could well be imagined. The re- oeipts were very light, only forty-five fresh loads being in the yards, but late in the af- ternoon, after the market had closed, a B. & M. train which had been delayed arrived, swelling the total considerably above that. The buyers were very indiffereut and did not appear to care whethor they secured any beeves or not, even at a decline. Still there was some trading in cattle that did not look any lower than yesterday, and some natives s0ld at $4.10, ...X there were a few loads at $3.00. There was one small bunch good anoufh to bring #.25. Cow stuff moved slowly, and only a few head changed hands. To-day’s supply of feaders and stockers con- sisted largely of seventeen cars of westerns and a few native holdov The dema was pretty fair, and a good share of the of- ferings were cleanea up before the clot Hogs. Light and medium weight hogs were in good demand and the market was active and a shade stronger. A large proportion of the light hogs sold at $4.15, with a few at $4.121¢. The shippers were tho prineipal buyers of the light and medium weights. They did not want the heavy weights, and all the reg- ular packers would offer was $4.00, or bc lower than yesterday. Salesmen did not feel justitied 1n giving up that much, and after all the other hogs had been sold the heavies still hune fire, and it was late before they were all sold. 'Tlie receipts of hogs were light for the same reason that there were only a few cattle here, the B. & M. trains did not arrive in time for the market. Receipts. Cattle. Hogs.

HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT NEBRASKA, GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. -OFFICE OF ASSISTANT ADJUTANT (GBNERAL, LINCOLN, Neb., July 81, 18%0.—Comrades: The time for the annual meeting ‘of the twenty-third national encampment of the Grand Army of the Repnblic is fast approaching. When at the last nationul encampment, held at Co- lumbus, O,, it was decided 'to hola the en- eampment for this year 'av Milwaukee, every assurance was given ;that transportation rates, and accommodations, and preparations generally, should equal;if not surpass and eclipse, any that had préceded. At our last annual meeting of the aational encampment u rate of 1 cent per mue «was granted, and this rate was confilently expected to be made for this year, thercby making it possi- Dle, by thus bringing the expense of trans- portation down, for many of our old soldiers of limited means to greet their old comrades once more around the blazing camp- fire, and again renew the strong ties of ' friendship that & quarter of 8 century ago were welded in the fire of bat- tle. The denial of this 1 cent per mile rate ‘was the cause of much disappointment and dissatisfaction, and with a view of securing the desired rate, a meeting of department commanders was held at Chicago, July 2, 1880, av which were present commanders from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota and Ne- braska. They called upon the representa- tives of the rajjroad companies to fix the rate at 1 cent per mile on_or before the 10th inst., assuring them that 1f they failed so to do, the department commanders, then assem- bled, would officially recommend to posts and comrades of their several departments that only members and representatives of the na- tional encampment attend at Milwaukee. Your department commander united in this movement in the firm belief that it was rea- sonable and jusy, and was actuated solely with the honest desire to best subserve the interests of the comrades of this department. The time huving passed, and our requests not having been granted, your commander, in accordance with his agreement with the other department, commanders, recommends the attendance only of the delegates and offi- cial members at the Milwaukee encampment. This request is made with deepest regrets, knowing it will cause disappointment to many, especially the old Wisconsin veterans now living in this department; but a proper respect for myself, and my pledge of good faith to my- assoclate commanders, thus makes me unable to repay the comrades and citizens of Milwaukee who have done and are still doing so much towards making the encampuent & success, Fraternally, J.
