EhJ \) 1 by Speculators iv Chicago and New York Yesterday. JiiIiKETS EXCEEDINGLY DULL. A Good Dem; ad for Wheat and Corn, but Few Offerings. THE WALL STREET M AXIPUL Stocks Remain Tolerably Firm but With a Degree of Uncertainty. CHICAGO. | Special Telegram to the Globe.] Chicago, Oct. —Everything was weak to day, and all speculative markets on '. "n^e were lower. Flour continues quiet, and little has been done for the wee' :, v.ith a fair call and a atea. quota tioa for the good to fine fuicily and bak-rs' brands, but shippers and ;.artiou larly exporters were having light buying ordt and were buying little besides the lower grades to only fair bakers' stock and and v, ire finding little of these qualities to work from. Rye Flour was dull. BuckwSieat flour was lower. Bran and all mi;i stuffs were in light supply and going stor.Jy it firm prices. \\ ne*.t was active and firm early, but be eoir 9 -cry weak later and at the close November was %a lower than at 1 o'clock yesterday, December about <3£o.lower, Jan uary %o lowe , and May about %o lower. It' 'ho opening prices were strong with a i /nand, and sales were made at an ad van co of }i@.%o over the highest prices louche on 'change yesterday, but the im proven *ut brought out heavy offerings, nedsr which prices soon weakened, finally fell l;4@l%o from the highest point of the session, then fluctuated some and closed easy. Receipts smaller. Market r.dvice3 were unfavorable and there was cil iderable pressure to sell. Crosby and ■' ver sold two million bushels for Balti more parties. In corn a largo business was transacted, ooiefly on speculative account. The ship ping demand was fair. The feeling was onsettled, prices ruling )£c higher early, but lat'3r weak and depressed, declining l@lj?Js<j for the various futures, fluctuated and closed )4M%° lower than the closing figure? on 'change yesterday. The re ceipts were a little larger, but the weak ness was attributed mainly to large offer ings of long corn being placed on the mar ket, and to the influence of the short in terest. No. 2 was lower. The market for future opened higher, but by the time that ce.sh corn came on the market price had declined l^c on October, %c on No vember, %c on year and ££c on May. The firmness early brought out liberal offer ings, and with an increase of about 100 oare in the arrivals and a drop of 1 }jo in New York, there was a steady decline. Hutchinson bought a round lot of May, r>nd Lester took some for shipment. Lead ing houses advise caution in selling short. Oats opened up stronger and at higher pric3S, but free offerings at the advance and a heavy a break in other markets gave weaker tone and resulting in a deline of about J^c per bushel and a slow closing. So. 2 cash was held at 23^0 early, but be fore the car lots were offered on sale prices had declined to 280, and with a limited demand at about this price. Sam ples were selling freely and well, and at better prices than could be obtained in store. - i -lye was more active and higher prices were realized for cash and all futurea, with more buying orders and lighter offerings of cash helping to an appreciation of J^a?ac per bushel from yesterday. Barley was showing signs of improve ment, and though no better prices were paid, Btill there was an improved demand for tho cash property, and with much lighter offerings of the some helping to a close clearing up of the stock placod on hand. The poor qualities of No. 3 were dull and the good to choice quite ready aale on track or free on cars. The poorer samples were still slow, and though all were worked off still a low range had to be accepted to tempt buyers te'take them. In provisions there was little change. Trading in tno aggregate was light, and the feeling was easy during the greater part of the session. Offerings were fair for the more deferred deliveries, but the light demand was some what limited. Prices were weak and on the whole range show a Blight reduotion. The receipts of hogs were liberal for the closing day of the week, and prices ruled tower, which had some influence on the oourse of the market. Foreign advioes were rather unfavorable to holders, and the eastern markets showed no particular strength. The shipping demand was rather small. The receipts of product were fair, and the shipments quite liberal. There was very little doing in the market for mess pork ontside of a fair trade for January delivery. The offerings were not very large, and there w i no partiou lar urgency in the demand. Prices on the whole range exhibited a reduotion of 10@ 200. Thn shipping demand was fair in the way of filling small orders. The offer ings of lard were modera.e ana the de mand ligqt. Trading was rather small in the aggregate. Prioe3 favored buyers to the exentofs@loo per 100 pounds, par ticularly on the defered deliveries, and closed comparatively steady at medium figures. The shipping demand was meagre Fairbanks is up. October lard steady. One of the oldest heads on 'change said yesterday: "Mark my words, wheat will sell lower within the next ten days than at any other time within the next five months." That is all he said, bat the re mark was based on the belief entertained by some others that there is again a wheat clique which intends to see how much virtue there is in the article. It does not seem likely that much could be done in the way of bulling wheat this enrly in the season, with such an utter lack of European demand. It may be that they do not want to bull it yet, but the; a are some peopel slieve i'.».;t promineht parties vrho have i>een sellers for three weeks past have bought through brokers a good deal more than they sold directly. Some oth-j. observant people suj there are no grounds for such aa idea. Complaints are thickening in regard to the presence of smut in the wheat crop of the northwest this year. It becomes more and uioro apparent Usai replanted corn is a fo''ira this year. Of course it has turned out well in spots, but as a rule the replanted are not yielding merchantable corn. The weather was not warm enough to mature it before the frosts came. NEW YORK. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] New Yoek, Oct. 13.—The bears in Wall street are now meeting with considerable resistance en the slock exchange. This corning, notwithstanding the continued bear talk, the market opened with buying orders in almost every stock. T'lere were a fow exceptions, such as Texas Pacific and Denver, which were noticeably weak, the latter on report of an issue of $50,000 additional stock. Lake Shore "-.is re lieved from yesterday's pressure and re ceded sharply. After the first few minutes Oregon was let down to 47*.{, and then came a general improvement throughout the list, the principal transactions being in Share, Texas Pacific, Oregon & Denver. At 11 o'clock Michigan Central showed at an advance of }£o from last night's closing, and the market was stronger and more active. The bank statement came out showing on increase in the reserve of $75,925. F<t the next two hours the advance was quite gen eral, although the activity was only inter mittent, dullness taking op a great part of the day. At half past 2 o'clock the Woeris ehoffer brokers were large sellers of Lake Shore, and Oregon again weakening it demoralized the whole market. During the last half hour the mar ket was very dull and closed without special features. Oregon olssed at 47, the lowest figure it has yet reached. Indiana, Bloomington & Western first week's earnings increased $4,700. The board statement is favorable and no apprehensions of tight money this fall from ordinary causes need be felt. Nego tiations are pending for the control of the West Shore by the Grand Trunk. It Is a fact that Mr. Adams of Winslow, Lanier & Co., went to Europe with the president of the Grand Trunk company. It transpired that the large purchases of West Shore bonds were for foreign account. CASUALTIES.; A CHICAGO AUDIENCESAVED FROM A FIRE PANIC. One Chicago Theater Burned Down and Haverly's on Fire—Railway Collision In Pennsylvania Remarkable for the Fact That No One Was Killed Outright— dents, Etc. BAIL WAY COLLISION. Uniontown, Pa., Oot. 13. —At 11 a. m., as a train on the Southwest road was ap proaching Lamont station it was run into by an engine with terrible effect. The regular engineer was not on duty on the lone engine and his plaoe was taken by a young man who seems to have known nothing about the business and was run ning at a rapid rate towards the crossing when he saw a collision was inevitable un less he oheoked up. Instead of staying at his post and stopping the engine, as pas sengers say he could have done, he revers ed the brakes and leaped off, letting the engine go crashing broadside into the middle of the passenger train. There were eighteen persons in the car, and the scene was frightful. Men, women and children were knooked out of their seats in every direction, and few esoaped being mangled, bruised or scalded. The car took tiro in stantly and was wrapped in flames almost before the passengers could be gotten out. It was entirely consumed. Most of the passengers were bespattered with blood and soot, but, miraculous as it may seem, no one was killed. The worst injuries were sustained by Mrs. Enox and two lit tle children, of Cornellsville. She is badly bruised, out and scalded, but the extent of her injuries is not yet known. One of her children had a leg broken and both were scalded about tho face. J. K. Ritenour and wifo were bruised and burned, but their children es caped serious injuries. James Lepper, of PittsburgJ had hi 3 shoulder hurt. Mr. and Mrs. West, of Brownsville, were bruised and cut. J. L. Woods, of Union town, was cut on the head and hand. About a dozen others were slightly injured. The marvel is that nearly all the passengers in the middle oar were not killed. State Treasurer Bailey was in the front oar and esoaped unhurt/ The cause of the aooi dent is not satisfactorily explained. FIBES. Chicago, Oot. 13.—The Lyceum theatre on Desplaine3 street, built immediately following the great.fire in 1871, and then known as the Globe theatre, was partially burned at 4 o'clock this morning.

EAT DISASTEB A VESTED. Chicago, Oct. 13.—The insurance patrol was summoned to Haverly's theatre at 2:15 this afternoon owing to a small blaze in one of the offices fronting on Dearborn street, and the fact that a performance was in progress, with a large house present, occasioned some excitement on the street which did not extend to those in the thea tre. Very few of the audience were made aware of the incident until after the patrol had driven away. LAKE SUPESIOE ST^IMEB SUNK. Poet Hubon, Ont, Oct. 13.—The pro peller Ontario is ashore on North Point, near Southampton, and full of water. She was bound up, with a oargo of supplies for the north shore of Lake Superior.

THE CAUSES OF 1 DESERTERS IN THE AIUIT AND THE RE3IEDY. T3io Latest Army Assignments—McDowell to Take Little Phil's Station at Chicago— The Speakershlp Contest—Sunset Cox's Miscellaneous Capitol Notes. —— ' I Special Telegram to the Globe] Washington, Oct. Hi—The reports of the causes of desertion being made by the department commanders to the secretary of war substantiates the opinion of Judge Advooate General Swaim, as expressed in the report for 1882. The causes may be classed under six heads. First, insufficient of and want of variety in food. Seoond, the great amount of manual labor perform ed by enlisted men. Third, insufficient pay. Fourth, partiality in the administra tion of justice. Fifth, stridency of the regulations governing guard fiery. S^h, the enlistment or Led men iii ihu Eervico. A majority of U . departmeat command era express the opinion thai the operation of (ha causes could bo in a largo measure reduced •without adding materially to the cost of the army. It is thought the increase in pay recommended by the general of the army from $15 to $16 per month, com bined with a revision of the rations, would of itself largely do away with the first two onuses named. The expense of this would be greatly reduced by the saving of the cost of apprehending, trying and punish ing deserters. The third course will diminish of itself hereafter as the necessi ty of building roads and constructing quarters diminishes with the rapid filling up of the country and the concentration of troops in large poßts goes. Congress should be urged to a restoration of the liberal extra duty al lowance. The other causes mentioned are the results of faulty administration, and are justly held to be removable by an in sifitance upon the part of those highest in authority. A thorough discussion of the subject of the disease and its remedy is urged as of vital importance to the good name of the army. LITTLE PHIL'S SUCOESSOB. The cabinet has considered the question of the successor in command in Chicago to General Sheridan. It is definitely stated that General Schofield very much wishes to receive the assignment, bnt it appears that there is strong military and politioal opposition to him. One of Schofields friends says that he is opposed by politicians be cause he was a member of the Fitz John Porter commission, and favored restoring Porter to the army. The same gentle man is of the opinion that Gen. Hanoook is to be prevailed upon to aooept the posi tion at Chicago in order to relieve the au thorities from the necessity of putting Sohofield there. Gen. Hanoook very much dislikes to leave his command at Gover nor's Island, but it is believed he will ac cept the assignment to Chioago. THE BPEAKEBSHIP. An Ohio Democrat says that Carlisle made a mistake by not helping in Ohio. "S. S. Cox and Randall," said he, "both went into the state, took off their coats and worked like Trojans for the Demo cratic party, but Carlisle did not make a single speech. I tell you the party wont forget either." "Who will be speaker?" "I am for Sam Cox and hope he will get there." "How will the Ohio delegates stand on the speakershipf" "I don't know, but I am of the opinion that it is pretty evenly divided on the start between Ooz and Randall." A Randall man, who claims to know all about it gives the following estimate of the Pennsylvanian's strength: Alabama five, Arkansas one, California four, Connecticut three, Delaware 1, Florida 1, Georgia 5, Illinois 2, Indiana 2, lowa 1, Louisiana 3, Maryland 4, Mas sachusetts 3, Michigan 2, Mississippi 3, Missouri 5, Nevada 1, New Jersey 3, New Xork 16, North Carolina 4, Ohio 8, Penn sylvania 11, South Carolina 2, Tennessee 4, Texas 4, Virginia 3, West Virginia 4, Wisconsin 4. Total 108." "Will he get this vote on the first bal lot?" "Oh) no, what I mean to say is he has at least as many votes from each state as I have counted, and he will get them on or before the third ballot in the canvas." "What means have yon of knowing what you say to be true?" '*I have traveled all through the west and have seen the newspapers generally, then we have letters from quite a number that we have not seen." HAVES TO BE HEABD. Washington, Oct. 13.—Charges and °ffi davits affecting the official character of Postmaster Hayes have reached the post office department from the inspector who has been investigating the affairs of that postmaster.

As a resnlt of further deliberation on the subject and in accordance with the prefer ences of General Hanoook and other officers it has to-day been deoided that General Hancock shall remain in command of the division of the Atlantic with headquarters in New York. General Schofield will take command of the division of the Missouri with headquarters at Chicago, and General Pope will succeed the last named in com mand of the Paoific division at San Fran cisco. Brig. General Angnr succeeds Maj. General Pope in command of the department of the Platte with headquarters at Leavenworth. Brig. General R. S.

A goneral order has been issued promul gating the action of the president on the findings and sentence of the court martial in the erse of Lieut. Robertson, of the First cavalry. The sentence of the court was that Lieut. Robertson be suspended from rank and command for six months, and be confined to the limits of his post for the same period, and be reprimanded iv general orders. The proceedings alone of VuC c;,urt are approved by the president The findings and sentence are disapproved anct Liout. Robertson is relievod from ar rest end ordered to resume hia piopar duties. la the order promul gating tho abevo Secretary Lincoln writes as follows: "No assent can be given to the demoralizing idea which seems to be one of the theories of the defense in this oaso that no serious of fense is committed by an officer falsely certifying to a second pay voucher for the same month, if it is given in seourity for a loan and is not expected to be presented for payment. An officer may not properly give as security that which is no less than a power of attorney to disgrace himself. The president is not willing, by his approval of this finding and sentence, to sanction the view that the oonduot of accused found by the court to be onlpable, should be consid ered mere neglect of duty, to be followed by slight punishment. It is to be hoped Lieut. Robertson will not again have occasion to persuade a court that the collection of his monthly pay is so trivial a matter to him that he doeß not remember a fortnight before it becomes dne, whether or not he has already drawn it, and will be more careful in future to avoid violation of the sanotity of his offioial certificate trusted as being made on the honor of an officer and gentleman.

A committee of five was appointed as a per manent committee to represent the peo ple, with authority to take any farther ac tion deemed necessary, and to obtain sig natures to the|resolntions,and then forward them to the governor of the state. %*"By asking too much we may lose the lit tie that we had before."
