TnE Cincinnati Enquirer makes a good
point in saying that Pension Commissioner
Dudley is striving to be the Dorsey of 1884.
Steve Elkins' investment of .50,000 of
the Republican campaign fund in the Hal-
stead-Reid — Tribune Extra was a good invest-
ment indeed. It . put that much money
where it could do no harm.
Mr iut Halstead's New York Extra is
producing a powerful effect on the campaign.
It is said that it Is sold to the news boys at
ten for a cent, and finds but a limited sale
at that. The fact is the people cannot be in-
duced to accept the Blame campaign papers
as a gift.
It is now developed that so much delay
has occurred in talking about additional
election precincts that it is too late to secure
them this fall. Tbc law requires thirty days
notice, and only twenty-five remain before
the election. St. Paul will accordingly have
but seventeen precincts and poll only about
half her vote. Minneapolis has twenty-eight
precincts.
The public have become so accustomed to
Blame's denials that it is an "off" day when
the telegraph is not burdened with one or
more messages of the sort. When any truth
about Blame is stated, up he jumps from be-
hind his ambush and denies it. The expo-
sure of his devlousness is being so thoroughly
made that his time Is iargely consumed in
preparing "denials" that, for the most part,
only clumsily evade the truth.
Tin: Republican papers are very much in-
terested in fixing up the Democratic ticket in
Ramsey county, and are supplying apochry-
pbal accounts of what is being done. ' Let
them possess their souls in patience. The
Democratic primaries will be held this even-
ing from 5 to 7, and the convention to-mor-
row. Our cotemporaries will then have some
facts to work upon which may prove slightly
at variance with their present fictions.
The following marriage notice from the
Missouri JiepulA'tcan, Oct. 2, is a trifle lite ral
and therefore rather original:
TKOENDLE-__CCLE__L_f.
T. R. Troendle and silly A. McClellan, both
well known in this city, were married yesterday
in Hopkinsville, Ky. The ceremony was per-
formed in Grace church by Rev. J. W. .'enable,
an^ shortly afterward the bridal party left for
New York.
The heirs of the late John S. Folk, of New-
town, L. 1., quarrelled about a plated water-
pitcher which each individual claimed as a direct
gift from the deceased. They went to law about
it, and, after spending several hundred dollars in
costs, the pitcher was sold at auction for fifty
cunt?, and went into the possession of a stranger
to the family.
This is just about as good an illustration
of the g. o. p. at present as one can find.
Its heirs are at loggerheads over a very poorly
plated specimen , the legacy of a dead party.
They are spending a good deal of money,
and, after all, the prize office may go into
the Democratic family.
The Republican papers are so afraid of de-
feat in Ohio next Tuesday that they are
accusing tbe Democratic papers of conceding
defeat in advance to break the force of it
when it comes. This is absurd. It is
thirty-two years 6ince Ohio gave her electoral
vote to a Democratic nominee for the presi
dency, and in carrying the state the Repub
licans simply take what belongs to them.
AH the Democrats can hope for is to keep the
majority down. Ohio's electoral vote has
never been counted as cutting any figure on
the Democratic side. If the Republicans
cannot carry Ohio next week, with their can-
didate on the stump and money being ex-
pended by the million, they cannot hope for
Vermont and Minnesota in November.
The Republican story that James F. Joy is
a Blame man is "a good enough Morgan"
until after election. What is he in Europe
for if he he is so red-tot for Blame. The
most ridiculous farce about the Chicago con-
vention of 1880 was putting Joy forward to
nominate Blame, and the way in which he
did it was one of the causes that led to
Blame's defeat by that convention. The
time was when Joy thought Blame was a ras
cal and be did not hesitate to say so. Gen.
Alger and all the rest of the Blaino white-
washers cannot rub that fact out. It is of
no earthly consequence what Joy pretends
to think of Blame now or, rather, what the
fellows with the white-wash pots say he
thinks of him. If Mr. Joy is happy in tbe
society of the Algers. and Dorscys, Claytons,
Elkins, Jay Goulds and other political rogues
and tainted scalawags be is welcome to all
the fame and happiness he can extract from
the position.
"Tueke has been Insanity in John McCul-
lough's family," writes Mr. George-Alfred-
ad-Oath In the New York Tribune last
week, but there is more evidence of insanity
in bis own immediate person when he can
write the following of J. G. Blame in the
same paper:
"We have an honest, heaven-favored
noble man for our candidate, and what men
say of lii in is a good test of themselves."
Unfortunately, men only say of the "heaven-
favored" just wbat he has written down for
tbem, and as the test has been furnished by
him, it is merely fair to use It. Gath ought
to paste this clipping in his hat:
Dr. -lames Freeman Clarke said at Tremont
Temple: "The great harm to morality does not
come so much from the wrong action as from its
being defended, palliated sad called right. This
great injury to the public morals is now being
done by Mr. Blame's advocates. They are put-
ting evil for good raid goo _ for evil, darkness for
light and light for darkness, bitter for sweet and
sweet for bitter."
T__eke i* no limit to the enterprise of jour-
nalism. When it is languishing for a sen-
sation it can furnish one out of its own
ranks, v.iii, has the merit of surprising: the
average journalist held under by impecu-
niousitv and bard work. A late item in the
London ___._*___af ..'■ ■ says tbat "a well
known journalist, who is a correspondent of
several newspapers in America, has eloped
with the young wife of an English nobleman.
The lady is stated to be one of the most beau-
tiful women in Europe, and the elopement
is considered very Incomprehensible by her
relatives and friends. The journalist is old
enough to be the father of the lady.'*
'•Very Incomprehensible to the relatives
and friends" of the fair elopist. No doubt
about that. It always seems just so to persons
not contemplating that sort of escapade, bat |
to susceptible and unprejudiced observers,
journalists old and young are irresistible. Of
course, modesty forbids any intimation why
we are so very sure In making the assertion.
RZ.IINE ON THE XTt MP.
It is a pitiable sight to see the Plumed
Knight, trotted out by his partisans, to ex-
hibit bis bedraggled plumes in Ohio. West
Virginia and elsewhere. He is greeted with
manufactured enthusiasm. Millions of dol
lars cannot be expended without producing
some effect in getting up great shows, snd
the corrupt party millionaires have pledged
over a million dollars to carry Ohio.
The alarm, and almost despair of the party,
is shown in thus exhibiting their candidate,
and co using him. to call out crowds, and
Osaka enthusiasm. But the "magnetic"
chieftain falls below expectation. His speech j
making is a disappointment, a dismal fail- ]
ure. Ills addresses are, for the most part !
brief, and mcanlnglcss.tamc and tautologi- I
cal.
lie docs not sustain himself as G._e.ey
He does not sustain himself as Gl-fley
and Garfield did in their campaigns.. They i
never repeated themselves. Their resources !
never 'ailed them. Tiiey always spoke terse- I
ly and to the point. Not so the Plumed :
Knight.
He bears heavily on "Prole- tian," and j
revests himself in every speech. He re- ,
minds the public of Andy Johnson, who, ,
when hr "swung around the circle," took j
* _ .csiiisticn'' along with him, and I
mjfi/'Si^ UAH,* ULUBK FKIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 10, 1884.
kindly left it for safe-keeping in the ! care of
every assemblage he met.
It Is very much so with Blame. "Ho lugs
"Protection" along with him, and rapidly
recommends it to the people who come out
to see the show, as the grand catholicon 'for
all political, commercial, industrial and
financial woes. His "'swinging around the
circle," will be as flat and profitable as
that of Andy Johnson, and about as ludri-
cous.
The money invested in Blame's "circus"
through the western states will not bring
adequate returns. The solid, thinking,
patriotic people will put in their best work,
and the Democracy will find triumph in
October, and repeat their triumph in No-
vember.
PARTY DEGENERACY.
Datlngfrom the commencement of Grant's
first term, corruption and consequent degen
eracy, have marked the pathway of the Re-
publican party, Grant had neither capacity
nor experience, that fitted him for a proper,
Intelligent, discriminating and capable dis-
charge of civil duties. He selected for his
chief advisers men as incompetent aud in-
experienced as l_imsc._,and as destitute, also,
of genuine, inflexible moral stamina. The
result was he fell Into the bands of a corrupt
cabal, who ruled him and his administra
tion, and every administration since.
Thus the party itself, ruled by corrupt, un-
patriotic, selfish men has became saturated
with corruption, and is not worthy to wield
national administrative power, it having be-
come a menace and a danger to the very
genius of the government, and the vital
principles underlying its political institu
tions. The government has been and is ad-
ministrated for the benefit of personal greed
and aggrandizement, to the utter disregard
of official duty and probity. The longer con-
tinuance of a party in power so corrupt and
unscrupulous, threatens the destruction of
the best interests of the people. In this ris-
ing tide of corruption, James G.Blaine has
been thrown upon the topmost wave, and his
earnest support for the Presidency, shows
the degradation of the party, and its fearful
corruption and degeneracy. Blame has
been conspicuous for his corrupt practices,
and abuse of his official power,., secure per-
sonal advantages for years, and bis known
un worthiness and unscrupulous character,
lost him the nomination for President in
1876, and in 1880; but in 1884, the corrup
tion element of the degenerated party had
secured a sufficient control to give him the
nomination, and hence partaking ofthe
character of its nominate, the Republican
canvass of the campaign is characterised by
the lowest, most abusive, scandalous and
calumnious assaults upon private character,
ever before known. The men of honor and
integrity who surrounded Mr. Lincoln have
passed away, and their place is supplied by
the Blaine — Dorse}' style of public comorants.
What is most surprising, and most em-
phatically indicates the degeneracy of the
party, is the fact, that prominent members
of it who opposed Blame's aspirations eight
and four years ago, now support and recom-
mend Mta. The Massachusettes Senators,
Dawes and Hoar, the New York Tribune, the
Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati Commercial
and Cincinnati Gazette, and other prominent
politicians and newspapers, denounced him
as unworthy of confidence and support; and
these same parties aro now recommending
and eulogising him. They charged then that
he was corrupt and proved his corruption
and un worthiness, and since then more as-
tounding revelations of his personal dishon
esty and lack of truthfulness have been
made.
He certainly has not improved he is no
better now than he was then, and yet the
partisans above alluded to, eat their own
words and support him. Their evasive rea-
son and disgusting and dishonorable subter
fuge, is that they support him not for bis
own sake, but for the good of the party, that
the party must be sustained, even if the
candidate is not, in all respects what be
abould be; and in addition they claim, if
elected, such influences will be thrown
around him as to prevent his going far
wrong. It is an insult to the American peo
ple in the first place to present such a candi-
date and to support hlra is a grosser insult
to the public intelligence. It is clear enough
that the corrupt influences that control the
party, sway the best men left in it, and in-
stead of stemming the tide of corruption,
they float on with it. To attempt to bold
Blame in check by better influences, is like
"setting a thief to catch a thief." Party ref
ormation under bis Presidency would be im-
possible. A lower depth of infamy would be
found, if that were possible.
Out upon the whole gang of plunderers,
and let the administrative functions of the
government be thoroughly cleaned from
foundation to turret.
The best element of the Republican party
revolts at the nomination of a man so un-
worthy as Blame: a man who has shown his
crookedness from ids youth up, beginning
with social escapades, and confessed secret
marriages, up through Know Nothlngism,
official corruption as speaker, and the base
use of his position as a member of Garfield's
cabinet to wreak his personal revenge. The j
boo est ■__ __ of .tbs party 6purn the nomina
tion of such a man, instead of debasing
themselves like Senators Dawes Hoar, an!
Editors .Vblitolaw Reid, Marat Halstead, Jo-
seph Midill, and the like by supporting him.
They will support an honest man to ad- |
minister the affair, of the nationhl govern-
ment, without regard to his party designa- !
tion, and such a man is found iv Governor
Cleveland of New York, and all who place j
country before party will join those honest,
conscientious supporters of Mr. Cleveland,
and lend a hand to overthrow and banish
from longer supremacy, a party that runs the j
government for their own personal and par
tisan benefit, and to the hurt and danger of
the conntry. Now is the time to dethrone
corruption, and to restore hone t adminis
tration as it was In the days of Jefferson and
Jackson. AAxyimYYiy

THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.
Matters Warming Up a Trifle on Both
Sides.!
Fourth Ward Cleveland and Ilendrlcl;*
Club.
There was a very largo and enthusiastic open
air meeting at the corner of University and Far-
rington avenues last night uudur the auspices of
the Fourth ward Cleveland and Hendricks club.
That it was a stirring and fervid gathering of
men in real earnest and zealous in the cause
is sufficiently' I demonstrated by the
fact that the assembly ■ stood for
two full hours under the open canopy of the
starry sky in a keen and nipping air: but there
is no doubt that the eloquence and humor and
"magnetic force" as Jim Blame would call it of
the speaker did much to warm up the crowd and
make it unmindful for the time of atmospheric
inconveniences. The speeches were unusually
good and some of them very much above the
ordinary stump speaking both in die-
tion and thought. Thn meeting was
opened by L. A. Normandin, the president
of the club, who introduced the speakers in a
short speech, pledging to work day and night till
Cleveland and Hendricks are in their proper
place, and for the defeat of the "Plumed Kuight,"'
the representative of pandered corruption.
The flrst speaker introduced was Gen. R. W.
Johnson, who preface! his speech with several
sound reasons why workingmen should vote for
Cleveland and Hendricks. His speech was
mainly directed to the tariff question, explain-
ing concisely end simply the attitude of the two
parties on this all important question.
Dr. Julius Stockcrman, .. of the Volkszfitung,
was next introduced and in the German language
addressed the large crowd. He said it was the
first time he had the honor of addressing a meet-
ing in this northwestern country and he felt it
an honor and privilege, after which he addressed
himself to his countrymen, taking principally
the position that the country generally was de-
sirous of a change of administration and
the German clement especially de-
sired the change. It was not a
question so much of person or
party as it was for the necessity of placing new
men in office to clean out the dust and dirt of
corruption necessarily accumulating during so
many years of occupancy of tbeWhitc house byone
party. He aiso reviewed the record of Blame as
a politician, and showed most forcibly that the
people have nothing to hope for in the present
time of depression if he should get to the White
hoase, while the record of Cleveland promised a
pure and honest administration. . He next
touched upon the tariff question, and showed
that a tariff for anything beyond revenue
was pernicious and a burden upon a nation.
The Germans, he said, throughout the country
were beginning to find out who were their true
friends. While tbey were with the grand old
party it was "my good German friend, will you
take a glass of beer?" but .when the German
vote threatened to go against the party it was
"the beer swilling .butch tub of sour krout."
The doctor's speech was a most telling one, full
of enthusiasm, bristling with good points, hu
morous and witty. He was immensely cheered
at every hit he made, and when he concluded,
cheer upon cheer for Cleveland and Hendricks
fairly rent the air.
Mr. C. K. Davison was the next speaker, He
commenced by stating that the nominations at
Chicago placed before the public honesty and in-
tegrity on one side and corruption and fraud on
the other. . He said that the people are now-
called upon to fight over again the great battle of
I_7_. The speaker gave a review of the govern-
ment of the country, comparing the seventy-two
years of Democratic rule with the government
under a Republican administration. He showed
tbat the Republicans spent in ten years millions
more than the Democrats had done during sev
enty-two years, not counting the national debt.
The last speaker was G. R. McKay, whose
speech was just a bunch of funny anecdotes,
with lance-like facts for leaves, all bound. up in
a gay boqnet with ribbons of mother wit. His
war record of the "Plained Knight" was very-
funny and effective.
After rousing and true Democratic cheers for
the speakers and for '.he Democratic nominees,
with .Merriman for congress, the meeting ad-
journed till next Thursday, when, it was an-

Tlie Slrth Ward an I tlie Legislature.
There were fully 135 voters gathered In a
room in Blrcber's new block last evening, to ex-
amine the political situation with a view for the
best interests of the Sixth ward in securing a
representative to thoroughly represent it in the
coming legislature. The men. who sent the postal j
cards Inviting attendance, were rather backward !
in coming out of their boles into the blaze
of open day, and rather than do it they agreed
that every one present, either by postal invita
tion or of bis own free will, was welcome.
It was decided to call the meeting a people's
gathering, although Democrats composed fully
three quarters of it. Wm. Berlandi was chosen
chairman and Fritz Hagermau was chaseu secre
tary.
Mr. Enright, who has a score to settle with the
board of public works, though a Democrat born
In tbc wool, snid that a nominee for representa
tive from the Sixth ward must swear to abolish
tbe board ot public works, to go for dividing the
ward so that it could have two aldermen, and to
do bis level best to have thecity engineer elected
by the people.
After some discussion on the part of Messrs.
Lathorn. Lawton, Hare and Barren, a motion
araa made by Mr. Lawton that the meeting
make no nomination until another meeting,
which was carried. In this connection it was
understood tbat when a candidate should be
named it would be irrespective of parties, who
conld unite ail parties of the Sixth ward in a
solid vote, while the possibility of two Sixth
ward candidates running uas to be avoided.
Robert Hare m a Democrat, but was sick of
rotten policies and of voting for officers nomin
al. d by persons oafstdti tbe ward.
Jerry McCarthy narrated his long public
service very eloquently and stated bow ha was
getting even with those who had sold him out
after the manner of Judas. He gave Blame a
shoulder bit over his desertion of his dying
mother because she was a Catholic, and plead for
a m»n. of ability, influence and large
acquaintance in the state to rep-
resent tile ward in the legislature to accomplish
what it needed. He was loudly applauded.
Mr. Enright, very sore on being assessed off
the line of Winnifred street for that improve-
ment, said that 11. 1. I . iris told him on tbc
bridge tbat nobody asked him to make that im
provement bat i'aul Martin, ami tbat they wore
afraid lba rich men on the line of tbo Improve-
mont would sue tbo rity, the board had cut down
their assessments and put it on poor mi .- prop-
erly outside tbe strei I Improved.
Mr. .'-.-- rose and denied ta conversation ns
interpreted by Enright and the latter set his I
truih Bad veracity ap for the peopio to look at
as against comparison with thai of Mr. Peters.
At this point the chairman called the parties
to order, and Mr. Lienau obtaining the floor said
that the meeting wat not assembled to consider
street grading questions, in which he
was as Back grieved ts any one, but
to try and dc.;- ways. and means
by which the .ixth ward could be' truly repre- I
seated as to its wants iv the legislature. He j
advised the selection of delegates at tbis meet-
ing to be elected to the Democratic convention
at the primaries Friday, a* tbe best method of
action to defeat Booert street and get a victory
overthe second ward.
Ha had hardly concluded his remarks when I
some one from a dark corner
ofthe room suddenly moved an adjournment
to meet at the some place next Thursday even-
ing, whe _ was promptly seconded, pot to vote,
and carried by a large majority, witho.t a word
of explanation as lo whys and wherefores, and
to tbe evident surprise of the original movers in
calling tbe postal card meetiag. ,-._-_--■

La«t r.ight was an occasion when Mr. Xordln,
president of the Blame and Logan central club
onght to have been in his element, and would
have been if he was not out in the slate cam- ■
paigning. The central club, of which he Is pres
ident, held las: night the best meeting they bate
bad during the canvass. Vice silent Reese j
presided, and tbe brass band J. B. Gilflllan had
hired for tke occasion discoursed t_r,.jr. Mr.
Giifil'.an was the first speaker M . spoke with his
-'usual warmth.'" There was an in-
voluntary buttoning of overcoats when he
arose, acd a sort of Manitoba wave swept
like a sinicon over the audience. Mr. Gilflllan
is so thoroughly repudiated at home tbst he
spend? most of bis time in St. Panl, but if be
can make co more impressive spcecb than his
effort last night be bsd better take to the woods
and abandon both cities.
Ex-Gor. Davis was tbe next shaker and apol
ogized (or not having appeared more in the cam-
paign, having been prevented from doing so
by ill healtb. It weald haTe been more
to his credit to bare stated that be

that conld h... .:'.*.* be expected of the eloquent I
"seconder" at Chicago. The governor's speech
was, of course, the best of the evening and was j
closely followed by ' lie sadience.
Judge Res. of Minneapolis* wound up tbe
meeting. He was heavy on "reminiscences" j
aud declared that the . Democrats favored
slavery. free trade and polygamy. j
This latter charge doubtless - results from |
the Democratic exposure of Mr. I
Blame's numerous marriages. The judge said J
bis head ached, and out of sympathy for tbe j
auai-t-.e he concluded.
Mr. Reese then made a speech, which he had ■
written and committed to memory, cpon the 1
seven hills of Route. This was intended aa an ;
indirect way nf calling attention to tbe existence !
of the "noblest Roman of them all" It resulted
m adjourning the meeting quite preclptlatley.

A friend of Blame's had a long, free talk _____
Conkling one day within a week, and he tells me
the result of it. Conkling talked foran hoar,
striding up and down his effice and delivering
himself of a speech. He is never more eloquent
than when he breaks out into monologue, with
only one auditor. Sentence follows sentence in
a fnsiladc. He neither invites nor pctmits in-
terruption. He grows wrathful and hot, gesticu
la:.-» violently, stops before the single auditor
and menacingly shakes his upraised finger. He
wipes the prcspiration from his brow, invokes
the aid of poat snd -.._.- 1, of Plato and *'i_k.-pcare
ond Rabelais and Fielding and L_callti_ and
Boccaccio; calls ou the gods and trie muses, ran-
sacks bistoiy for metaphor and apothegm and
invective, and pours out a stream of lingual lava
red-hot. "I'd have given $1,000 for a photogra
pher," said the listener. ••Conkling said he
wouldn't vote fcr anybody. 'Politic- ha- now reach
ed its lowest degradation,' 1 said. '1 tie Republi-

CHICAGO.
(Special Telegram to the Globe.l
Chicago, Oct. 9.— ln the market see-saw to-
day, wheat west up and corn went down. Both
were irregular as to price, but neither showed
any startling activity. A good many brokers
doing business on 'change claim to be in danger
of starving to death. Quite a prominent one
was heard to remark to-day, that for a week past i
he had filled but two orders, and that the sum
totals of his earnings would barely amount to
$25. He spoke of this to illustrate the inactivity
of the speculative markets. The fact is gener-
ally commented upon that seldom has there been
such a dearth of speculation in grain in the
market. Just now corn is deemed a risky thing
to handle and wheat is pursuing a very peculiar
course. Under circumstances which have ordi
narily made scalpers very cautious in their buy-
ing and ready at any time to unload all their
holdings, they now favor the long side systemat
ically and are not scared when the plainest cvi-
dences of weakness are to be observed. Hutch-
nson is said to be a large ' purchaser of wheat
and is credited by some with possessing a suf
ficient quantity of ' the article to entitle
him to no little distinction in consequence. Such
a notable example may account for the apparent
recklessness of the small fry. Harry Phillips is
named as another large buyer. Altogether the
amount of wheat absorbed every day leads oper
ators to keep a serious lookout for the disposi
tion made of it, it is a common remark in the
alley that there is nothing but the price of wheat
to make it a purchase, and the belief is that the
present low price is apparently too low for ex-
port. Oats were active and strong and reached
the highest point of the season. Provisions were
stronger and higher. Closing quotations on the
afternoon board were: November wheat ?.4c
higher than yesterday's close, at7B,Sc; Novem
ber corn 1.4 c lower, at 51 X; October oats fie
higher, at 27__c; year pork 10c higher, at
$12.70; November lard 7 i_c higher, at $7.42%,
and November ribs 15c higher, at $7.05.
Wheat opened ._@?aC easier, but the decline
was instantly checked and the market advanced
He and was held pretty steady to the close of
the morning board, while in the afternoon there
was a sharp rally of ,(_.*_cand tho close was
higher all around. Some called it a scalpers
market, as the range of quotations was
comparatively narrow and the only way to make
money was to effect qnick trades and accept
small profits. Outside buyers were few and for-
eign markets easier, Liverpool being reported as
quiet with markets off coast dull, which was also
the condition of the leading American markets,
The receipts here and at most other western
markets, especially at Duluth and Minneapolis,
were heavier, and our shipments were small and
chiefly of low grade. In spite of these
facts . the mnrket stubbornly resisted the
efforts of the bears to depress prices,
Hutchinson being lhe most conspicuous bull.and
owing to his recent heavy purchases of Novem
ber made the shorts anxious, and caused an ad-
vance where a decline was to be expected. It is
not thought that Hutchinson is trying to run a
corner, but that he will unload on a cent or two
advance. At the close of the forenoon board the
feeling was strong, and on the afternoon board a
good Inquiry from short sellers caused a further
advance. October opened at 70 _c,
and ranged at 76M@77.ic, closing
finally at 77, _c, an advance over
yesterday of fie. November opened at 78c. sold
at 77 ft ;i(__»7B>.Jc on the morning board, went up
to 7iS:V_c in the afternoon and closed at T.^c.
December opened at 79?ic and closed at 80c on
the morning board, and at 80:l,,c in the afternoon.
No. 1!. spring, in car loads, sold at 7G*£@77"£c
cash. No. 8 spring was in moderate demand
and car lots sold at 03c. N0.2 red winter was
sparingly offered and the demand was moderate,
closing Uc lower at 7!)*4c. No. 3 red was also
easier and closed at G7c, rejected do at 59c.
The imports to the United Kingdom the past
week were 1,720,000 bushels of wheat, and 10,
- barrels of flour less than the previous week,
while the amount on passage tothe United King-
dom and continent decreased during the same
time 1,520,000 bushels of wheat and 210,000
bushels of corn.
•'lt looks," said an operator to-day, "as
though tho parties who are long on wheat, some '
of wbich was bought at higher figures, aie trying '
their best . to put the market up so '
as to get out even. A short time <
■go there • were some reasons for
expecting a higher price and a better foreign de- ,
mand for our wheat, but the reasons do exist in
some force to-day, and if the market was left to
lake i:.. natural course it would go down without !
doubt. But this would not suit the bulls at all, '
and so by combined effort, the declines which I
have thus far set in are soon stopped, and figures i
are put back as near the old place as they can be. 1
This makes a slow market, within a narrow range 1
of prices."
J. W. Rumsey & Co. say: "New York re- '
port, a weak market and BO export orders, but '
we hold very steady, as good, Strong local par- '
tics who have 'been there before,' are buying i
liberally, and 'saving np for a rainy day.' We 1
can't be clubbed into selling good wheat at these
prices."
A.M. Wright A Co. say: "Sellers on the
A. M. Wright <_ fo. say: "Sellers on tho
bear side, while they fail to nee any substantial '
reasons for sustaining values, are rendered shy <
about putting out large lines and standing on <
them by the current low figures, and as a rule 1
operate on the scalping principle, selling on 1
slight upward bulges and buying back on small
breaks, and the numerous fluctuations daring the
session wore largely duo to that system of trade. l
On the other hand many who think that price* l
will ultimately rale higher, see nothing in the '
immediate present on wbich to base purchases. <
Hence they prefer waiting to see greater signs of j
healthy activity in thf shape of a free shipping
movement based on an actual demand from con- •
turner., and for the present we can only advise '
buying on breaks and selling on email upward l
reactions."' (
The mystery in which the corn deal is shrouded
thicken*, and nobody knows exactly what to
lock. for. It is not, however, <.•-;, to keep up
the interest in a deal for sixty or ninety days;
consequently the Interest in corn, which was ex- 1
ional last month, is just a little Bagging now.
This course gives pleasure rather than pain to
the clique, for all the talk and gossip is just so J
much more encouragement to the farmers to ship '
stuff here, the very thing that la not desired by '
balls. Receipts are now dropping pretty '
low again, there being only ].;'. ]
cars in til to-day, only about third • i
being contract grates, which would indicate j )
that as soon as extraordinary pressure to fill
contracts at the high price is over there will be j c
very little old corn to come to market. Liver- "
pool was reported slow, while New York was a
unsettled and a little lower. The principal trad- *
ing ' to-day was in the November option. It ,
opened at 5-.»4c. but became very irregular *
later. It immediately dropped to ■-'-'"Uc, with !
possibly a sale at _•_!., recovering agate to 53.4 c, '
which was the highest point, before noon the I '
bears began pounding the market vigorously '
ami selling quite freely, which broke tbe market *
off to 51 i.e. and the close was at '
51 He, though it finned np to '
a close of 51 '-,c in the afternoon. The clique !
appeared to be selling November and buying the .
May option, which bas been quite steady hereto- i
fore, to-day took a sharp turn upwards, opening
at t'i 'ir, and rising with lively trading to 42c,
then sinking back to a close or 41c on the morn-
ing board, and declining lie more in the after-
noon. This activity of the long futures is '
mainly due to the action of many of tbe largest *
brokerage firms, who. owing to the liability of i
near futures to manipulation, decline to receive (
baying or selling orders for saeb delivery, *
as they wish to save customers '
from tbe chances of vexatious '
complications and losses. October opened at *
55.4 c, advanced to 56_£c, rapidly receded, and. *
after Tarioas fluctuations, closed on the regular i
board at 54c, the lowest point, and on the after- 1
noon board at 5 . iie. . Year closed at 42 He, a de-
cline of He frora yesterday's close.
"Before next January," said a broker to-day,
"there will undoubtedly be a chsnee to make ,
come money on the short side of corn, but he
would be a wise man who coold tell . when and *
how to strike it, bat the temptation- to experi- '
ment is so great that many more will probably 1
get badly bitten before . the right moment to got
in is found.l'
"The course of corn," said Llndblom, "wiß
depend a good deal npon the weather. I think
with such weather as to-day there wonld be a
good deal of good corn received here by Nov. 30,
but with the weather a little warmer or the
weather a little wetter there would be no contract
corn to speak of.*'
Oats were ' firmer and higher, with greater
activity In speculative trading, tbere being a
great demand for November at 28c and May at
80 Xc The bulls in this cereal predict an ad-
vance of 3<&4c, claiming that the market is
heavily oversold. The close was at 27 % c for
November and 30 He for May, an advance of »,c
and 14 c respectively.
Provisions were only moderately active, yet
the feeling was firmer and prices averaged higher
on leading descriptions. Foreign advices showed
a stronger feeling abroad and Liverpool quota-
lions were advanced Cd on long clear sides and
yd on lard. Eastern markets were quoted and
prices steadier. Year poik closed 10c higher at
$12.70, and lard was lOQIZOc higher.the close be-
ing 10c higher for October at $7.75 and 7_Jc
higher for November at $7.42 y.. Ribs
were dull and unchanged at 89. £0 for
October and 15c higher at $7.05 for
November.
The westerns and Texans made up the bulk of
the receipts of cattle, say about 200 cars, over
200 of which were westerns. There was no new
feature of note in the market to-day. Natives
were scarce and sold at strong prices, the best at
from $0.00 to $7.2... one car of big old fashioned
but fat Nebraskans making the outside price.
Anything in the native line that would suit the
shipping or dressed beef trade told quick and
at high figures. Common and medium
natives that have to compete with the excellent
Montana and Wyoming stock had to sell on their
merits, and the award was generally against the
natives, they selling proportionately lower than
th': westerns. Some stale range stock sold late
yesterday afternoon at the lowest figures for the
week, but to-day choice suitable fresh stock sold
a shade hign r. St ckcrs and feeders are in fair
demand and steady as compared with previous
days of the week. Texans are rather scarce and
steady.
Receipts of hogs are rather moderate for the
season. There was a brisk demand and prices
were a strong 5c higher all around, the market
closing firm with about all sold. Rough and
common packers sold around about $_._0<£.5.10
and good packers at55.20<_?_5.50; the best heavy
at55.60@5.80 and Philadelphia $5.90. Litrht
sorts sold at $1.75©4. 80 for skips and $5@5.25
for Yorkers with the Tibbetts __ Burke sort at
$5.55 and perhaps in some cases higher.

President Little said he had no official informa
tion to thai effect. In any case, he said, there
were other roads which stood ready to take the
lease on the present terms. Transactions in the
balance of the list were on a limited scale, and
the fluctuations unimportant, though prices were
very well sustained. Omaha rallied a, little
from the • depression of yesterday,
but Manitoba continued . on .its
downward course until 84 V 4 was reached.
Telegraph held its own and the effect of a lower
rate of dividend appears to have been thoroughly
discounted. Pullman crawls up a little as divi
dend day approaches. Sales to-day were at
115.5. The proposed new deal in Louisville &
Nashville caused but little change in the stock.
It was quite strong in the early dealings, though
later it fell off a trifle. Parties intimately asso
ciated with trunk lines say that the Pennsylva
nia's notice to the Baltimore __ Ohio, that it can
not haul its trains, is the first gun in
a very serious flght unless the matter
is patched up. So far the matter applies to pas-
senger rates, but it will soon also extend tc
freight. Already there are threats of a line ol
steamers between New York and Baltimore by
which freight would be taken to and from all
western points at sharp cut rates. The Baltimore
& Ohio lias lines Into St. Louis, and in this way
would demoralize the east and west freight traf
fic. Yon Hoffman & Co. say that the advance in
tiie Bank of England rate has stopped the
movement of gold to this side. There have
been large settlements for credits, which
have made the exchange market firmer, but at
this, the beginning of the shipping season, they
expect that rates will go lower in a few days, as
a largo number of commercial bills ought to
come in. They have $200,000 gold on the way to
New York and know of $350,000 in addition to
the $250,000 received on Saturday by Plock &
Co. Kidder, Peabody & Co. have reduced posted
rates of sterling to $4.82 and $4.83. The bulls
arc jubilant because the market did not
{0 lower under the grist of bad
news yesterday, and claim that a
steady advance from now on may be expected.
Bull pointers arc freely given out this morning
on St. Paul, Northwestern, Union Pacific and
Pacific Mail. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapo
lis & Manitoba has given the required thirty days'
notice of Its intention to Issue 13,320 shares of
preferred stock and 20,739 shares of common
stock upon 188 miles of new road. Otto Plock,
the representative of the Erianger system of
railroads, says that the Erianger properties are
loing an increased amount of business, but
.wing to low rates net earnings were not satis
'actory. Gould sold a put on Union
Pacific for 5,000 shares this morning
it fifty to sixty days at 1 per cent. The trans
iction to day hart but little significance. Oat
siders appear to take but little interest in tho
mam of stocks, and until they do but little
.hangc for the hotter can be expected. Easy
noncy is an assistance to the clique, though they
lo not make much at present in the way of loan-
ng their specialties. Jersey Central broke badly
it the finish, and tho market throughout was m
;ilned to sell off a little in the final dealings.
