CHICAGO, Sept. §.—Heavy Northwestern re- | ceipts of wheat,’a knowledge of which was in possession of the traders before the session opened, went a long way toward neutralizing the firmness with which wheat started at Liv- erpool. The recent heavy and quite steady de- ] | cline and the comparatively low price to which wheat had already sunk, however, apparently made friends for the grain and restrained the | ardor of the bears. Liverpool, notwithstanding |a decline here, was d higher for September | and 34d lower for December. Receipts con- cerning the Russian wheat crop were quite bullish’ from a market point of view, as dls- S | appointing harvests were the general tenor. So far this season the movement of new wheat in Russia has been small enough to give what appears to be corroboration of the poor crop reports from that country. Wheat futures were additionally strenzthened near the close by a dispatch from New York to the effect | that Russian grain exporters who had_soid | wheat fro shipment in September to the United Kingdom were trying to have the contracts canceled, presumably because of difficulty in getting the grain. The close was %@%c higher for September and %@%c for December. Speculators in corn were for the most part bearish on account of the listlessness of the hipping demand. Prices were steadied some- what by the strength of wheat and predictions of frost in Iowa to-night. The market ruled heavy, however, closing with a loss of %o for December. Oats_ followed wheat. There was a falr | amount of business transacted within a very narrow range. May closed %c advance. Provisions ruled strong on the healthy legi- timate basis of an excellent demand for the dend of 2% per cent on its common stock and | 8nd ribs 15c. 3% per cent on its preferred stock.

There are over fifteen million pounds of Wool in this market, with none selling and without Inquiry. Some little fall Wool is com- Ing in, but it is rather short in staple. It really ‘does not make much difference how cheap Wool is offered, as there are no buyers, and as there is very little woolen goods sell- ing manufacturers ~cannot get any orders. Th‘D)' do not come into the market to buy. “‘Something can be gleaned of the state of the market in the Enst by the following sta- tistics: The sales of last week in Boston amounted to 1,700.000 pounds, against 11,700,- 70 pounds for the corresponding week ' last year. Sales since January 1 in Boston amounted to 78,718,000 pounds, against 260,230,000 pounds last vear at this time. “‘All the markets in the United States have a large stock of Wool and there is a good deal still in the hands of the growers. Stlll the prices are well maintained, as when anybody needs Wool and come into the market he is | willing to pay full prices for what he wants, but cannot be induced to buy more by getting concessions."” HOPS—1898 crop, 10@13c; 1897 crop, nominai.

If George III and his Ministers were embarrassed by oposition at home, the | American patriots were no less embar- | rassed. An energetic minority, it has been said, brought to pass the Revolu- tion, which ‘i)rocecdlng, especially from | New England, was carried through in | spite of a majority In the colonies—a ma- jority in great part quite apathetic but to some extent actively resisting. The | emigration of Torles, when the day was | at last won, was relatively as great as | that of the Huguenots from France after | the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The total number is estimated to have | been at least 100,000. In this multitude | | were comprised only such, with _their | families, as had been active for the King. The indifferent, who had lent no helping | hand to the patriots, must have been a | multitude much larger; these remained ( behind, inertly submitting to the new order of things as they had swayed in- ertly this way or that, following the | power and_direction of the blast of war. —Atlantic Monthly. 1 THE CALY/S CALENDAR September, 1898. “Tast Quarier, September 1, New Moon. i/ Bepiember 15.] | §$ t 18- ter.
