COMMERCIAL AXD FISANCIAL Prospects of Delay in Financial Legislation Made Business Dall. WHEAT OPENED AT THURSDAY'S FIGURES Aftor Rapld Fluotuations that Cereal Closed & Fruction from the Bottom ~Corn Quiet and Easy--Stocks and Honds, Crricaco, Aug. 18.~"The prospect of delay In financ legislation seemed to put the Board of Trade in tho dumps tolay decline in wheat since last night amounts to 1c, and corn and oats are each lower. Provisions lost from 30c to 40c in pork, 10¢ to 121¢c in lard and from 15¢ to 27'ge in ribs. Wheat at the opening was about the same A8 yesterday's close, ensed off ¢, then ruled firm and prices wore advanced lg¢, became woak, and this time declined 11 for Sep. tember and Lige for December. then ruled steady for some time, became firmer and the closing was ige from the bottom. An early report made the clearances from Baltimore 830,000 bu., which made a little temporary strength, but later advices cast doubt on the authenticity of this report and the result was to weaken prices. A statement wired from Washington was that the last national bank statement showed a decrease of $103,- 000,000 in deposits and 197,000,000 in loans. Trade was light. Most of the business was in the way of changing September into December, Cables were of an unfavorable tenor and helped to depress values, but the chief cause for the weakness was the lack of trade. There was rather more disposition to sell than buy. It was reported that Gormany was sending money here to carry wheat, and it was also rumored that &4,000,- 000 more gold had been withdrawn frou the Bank of England for this country. ‘Wheat does not appear to move out of Chi- cago as it should, and there is some talk of the bulk of it staying here all winter. Corn wus quiet and easy on more rain in the interior and the weakuess in wheat. The offerings, while not very liberal or urgent, exceeded the demand. The close 1y at inside prices. hittle more pressure to sell wi observed, ana prices recedea e, the mar ket closing weak at about the inside. The provisions market weakened under the receipts of 000 hogs. PPork and lard closed at the lowest point of the day’s ranze, but September ribs recovered 10¢ from bot- tom prices. Armour and the American Pack- Ing company bid up ribs toward the close Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 80 cars; corn, 860 cars; oats, 235 cars; hogs, 14,000 head.

The sales of stocks footed up 92,203 shares, sud the trading for outside account was probably higher than on any previous day for weeks and months past. Less than half a dozen stocks showed important fluctua- tions and in these instances the movements wero most erratic. General Eloctric droppad 1% per cont o B, rose to #)4, broke to 8714, rallied to 301 and closed at #8%. Man- hattan showed a net loss of 2 per cont and Lake Shore and Northwestera wero 1 per cent, while Distillers gained 1 per cont and Lackawanoa and Rock Island )¢ to 3 per cent. During the afternoon the heavy arrivalsof gold, the aunouncement of further engage- ments for shipment to this side and \Vush- ington advices that the silverquestion would be brought up for discussion in the senate Tuesday, lod to a rally n the market, but the bears sold a* the higher range of quota- tious and a reaction ensued at the close. Speculation left off generally weaker in tone. There is a very' general indisposition to operate, pending definite iuformation in regard to the silver logislation and even the professional traders are losing interest in the market. General Eleotric was traded in 1o the extent of 15,000 shaves. No other stock figured for ns much as 10,000, and at intervals the market was positively neg- lected. ‘The Evening Post says: was ot of an unfavorable comprised the arrival of §,200,000 gold and tho eugagement of §4,000,000 ut the Bank of aud largely. it seems, for the account of Cauadian banks.

The regular time money and commercial paper markets are practically closed. Call money is indéed abundant and its abuudauce explains sufiiciently the existing stock speculation, but this reflects merely the temporary use of credits based on the imported gold. Probably today's revival of the premium on gold for future de- livery was due to the peculiar needs of the collou sbippors, aud it is such out- y The day's news character. 1t of-town demands which render 8o uncer- tain the condition of the clenring house bank reserve. Nobody except, perhaps, in the case of savings banks, bids a promium for gold unless he foresees tne certainty of re- imbursing himself. At ruling rates for time loans of all kinds, ‘it would not be hard for owners of gold to find such profit, and it is possioloe that our banks are using their own wold for purchases privately for the accom- modation of iocal borrowers. 'This has been openly done with Chicago's direct gold im- ports. And it was openly done here last week with part of the gold shipped against the depositabroad of our own securitics. Rut (uestion nevertheless remains whether the out-of-town demands on our city banks have been great enough to absorb the new bauks, supplies and this, tomorrow's bank statement will showj It must not be forgotten that our heavy merchandise export movement is establishing credits here for interior institutions, and that these directly or indirectly, are cortain to bo drawn uj The following are the closing quot: on the leading stocks on the New exchange today: Atchison. 28 . 140 Fxpross 102 s&Ohto.. 84 |N.

A further softening of values resulted; prices dropped anywhere from 10c to makine an average decline of 40c in two days. There was a vigorous inquiry for light and medium weight hogs, both from shippers and fresh meat men, and tney commanded a premium of from 10c to 50c over heavy grades, The range was the widest in months, nearly 81, extreme figures being §4.35 and £5.30. Light and hght mixed hogs sold at from $4.80 to &.20, with heavy and mixed packers at from $#4.35 to #4.00. The early trading was slow and the close very dull and weak, fully 1.000 hogs being loft unsold. ‘The bulk of the hogs sold around from #4.65 to #, against from #.90 to $5.10 Thursday and from $4.65 to $4.75 on last Friday.

Five hundred of them met last night and voted to employ an attorney to guard their interests. The expressions were very bitter against the man who wrecked the bunk. Comp- troller Eckels was censured by many of the speakers because he will not give out the examiner’s report of the condi- tion of thebank, and the local govern- ment officials were criticised because there had been delay in prosecuting the bank wreckers. One speaker said if the law was not enforced the depositors ought to hang some one to a lamp post. Tho temper of the meeting on the subject of prose- cutions was very pronounced in favor of immediate action. Schuyler Haughey went to Chicago and othér persons are now under surveillance. Enoch Hogate,grand master of the Odd Fellows, last evening appointed a com- mittee to investigate Haughey’s embez- zlement of Odd Fellows funds. The in- vestigation will be set on foot today. Lo S Convened to Cut Cost of Composition. ST. PAuL, Aug. 18.—The St. Paul and Minneapolis Publishers association, the Typothetwm, the union printers and the executive committees of Typograph- ical unions Nos. 30 and 42 held a meet- ing to discussa proposition looking to the reduction of the cost of composition. The publishers submitted a proposition that the price of composition be reduced on morning papers from 42 cents per 1,000 ems to 35 cents, and on ovening papers and all day work in the book and job offices from 35 to 30 cents; also $14 that the week scale be instead of $16, The proposition was a state- ment in writing that employers would return to the old scale assoon as the financial depression is ended. The union committees took the matter under advisement, and the St. Paul and Minne- apolis unions will 7ote upon the question in special meeting Sunday afternoon. e floke Repudiates I1is Paper. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, —Sceretary Smith was shown a dispatch to the effect that the Atlanta Journal had called upon congress to pass a freo coin- age bill. The secretary said no signifi- cance should be attached to the editor- ials of that paper on account of the fact that he still' held a block of stock in it, for the reason he had ceased to control the paper when he came into the cab- inet. Hosaid the quotation from the Journal was not only misleading, but failed to_present the’ position of that paper, Sceretary Smith said he had seen the editorial and that it declares in favor of the immediate and uncon- ditional repeal of the Sherman act, B Killed His Wife and Escapec CoLumBuUs, Ind.,, Aug. 18.—Cyrus Brown went to the home of his brother- in-law, Chavges Steenberger, last even- ing tosee his wife, who had not been living with him for some time and who had filed in the circuit court some days ago a suit asking divorce and the cus- tody of their three children, What the two said no one knows, but Brown pulled a revolver and shot her dead.
