CHICAGO.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. J
Chicago, Aug. B,— Trade was greatly
stimulated to-day and the markets were
stronger and higher. Wheat was l^c
better, corn JgC higher, oats }^o better and
rye lc higher. Pork scored au advance of
200 and lard 10c .
On 'change there was an active, excited
market for wheat during most of the ses
sion, the fact that foreign markets were
higher and that New York opened strong,
with a good export demand for both spring
and winter wheat stimulated trade here,
and although two leading bull houses sold
a round lot of wheat, prices only reacted
for the moment, and then under good buy
ing advanced again Bharply and closed
fully ;a c higher than yesterday. The trade
is getting more confidence in values
and even the pronounced bears are willing
to admit that wheat has a legitimate value
and i hat not far from present prices, if
indeed not higher. The general tone of
the market was very buoyant, and this
feeliu^ is expected to continue for several
days. It transpires that receipts at all
points for the month of July are fully 12,
--000,000 of bushels less than for the corres
ponding period last year and much less
than anticipated, and the run from the
southern states is reported as about over.
The crop is short, unquestionably, and
the farmers are not supposed to sell at
present prices. Cable reports received to
day indicate that the wet weather in Eng
land has damaged the growing crops.
Private crop reports today show that
winter wheat is only yielding
about two-thirds as many bushels to the
acre as last year, so far as threshing has
been done.and our receipts are much light
er than last season. This caused much
anxiety among the shorts, and they be
came free buyerF, covering their outstand
ing contracts for fear of further ad
vance.
In the wheat pit there was quite an ac
tive speculative demand during most of
the session and a stronger feeling was de
veloped. Marke t advices were more fa
vorable from other points and the receipts
here show a further decrease. Shorts were
buying against their outstanding contracts
and there was more demand from this
source. The marKet opened %@££c higher,
advanced to a point l%c above the closing
figures on 'change yesterday,reeeded about
%c, again rallied, due partially to reports
of bad weather in Europe, and finally
closed about l; 8 c higher than yesterday.
The liruxaa» i^ corn no doubt aided to
strengtii^^tmfeeliog in wheat. No. 2
wheat o^&^gfißprl) was higher, September
closing <2|Jaj&-- 3 . October at $1.06j^.
Corn /is bfeiug bulldozed in New York
and ;he early strength there put up our
prices fully a cent, but news of a 3c break
there in the August option started a bear
raid here, and a decline of lc took place.
However, the continued buying of cash
property had a strengthening effect and
some recovery was noted. The later
months were Etrong, owing to shorts cover
ing, fearful of a squeeze. From all
sources it is learned that receipts will con
tinue large during this month, and if this
proves to be the case the present range of
prices cannot be maintained. At the out
side there was free selling of cash and Au
gust for country account. Shipments are
liberal. In the corn pit a large business
was again transacted in this mar
ket, and the feeling developed was
more unsettled than yesterday, and prices
ruling with considerable irregularity. The
receipts were again liberal, but showed
somewhat of a filling oil, 504 cars being
inspected into store against (174 cars yes
terday. Foreign advices were encourag
ing and New York reports indicated an
unsettled market. At the opening there
was en active demand for c.ish, shippers
buying, and snorts manifested an urgent
desire (o provide for their outstanding
contracts. The market opened from }-»(?£
%c higher an the result of the early de
mand, and advanced %@%c more, but at
this advance the offerings were largely in
creased, and prices declined 1;_;C for
Aug'.:-t and J^Ct?-iC for the November de
ferred future?. Considerable long corn, it
was understood, was closed out at the im
provement. New York reports also
showed a large decline from the early
market, and this helped to cause the de
cline. Later the market rallied somewhat
from inside prices, fluctuated, and finally
closed about J^o higher for cash, }£c high
er for August, %c higher for September,
y e higher for October, and %a higher for
year than the closing yesterday.
For oats there wa s a good demand. The
market ruled tolerably steady, and for
future deliveries prices averaged a trifle
higher. Receipts moderate. • New No. 2
was quiet at 2Sc, and old No. 2 in light re
quest and quotable about 2%%c. Rejected
nomic?l. Sample lot 3in good request.
The market closed dull. ,
In winter wheat the receipts were smal
ler, the offerings only moderate, and the
feeling stronger, with prices %@ 1° higher.
Demand good on shipping account, and
some speculative demand also existed.
For flour there was some inquiry, but
trade: was again limited and a dull feeling
prevailed, local jobbers merely taking an
occasional lo;. Exporters were enquiring
for low grades, and also looked for new
winti-r. but made no purchases.
In provisions under the influence of
lighter receipts of hogs and a substantial
advance in prices therefor and a fair num
ber of orders from outside parties to
purchase product for future delivery. The
market exhibited considerable strength
during the early part of the day, and
prices ruled materially higher on some of
the leading articles. The offerings, how
ever,were quite liberal.and during the mid
dle of the session on 'change prices grad
ually settled back again, but toward the
close ruled with considerable steadine=r.
The shipping demand was moderately ac
tive in a quiet way, but orders were slow
to meet the views of sellers. Foreign ad
vices showed no material change,^ and the
eastern markets showed a little more
strength in a general way. The receipts
of produce were fair and the shipments
quite liberal of pork and meats, but mod
erate of lard. The demand for mess pork
was quite active and the offerings were fair
with a good business reported, chiefly
during the early part of the day. Opening
sales were made at 15@20j advance on the
closing figures of yesterday, and a further
improvement of iift:loc was gained during
the session. Later the feeling was not
quite so strong and prices settled back
again 10@12%c. Toward the close the
feeling was steadier. The shipping in
quiry was moderate in a quiet way. The
market for lard exhibited only a slight
degree of activity. Buyers were not par
ticularly anxious to take hold, while the
offerings were not very large. Prices were
stronger and7J^@loc per 100 lbs., and
outside figures were fully maintained.
Shipping inquiry rather light. Cash in
moderate request. Fowler was a seller
and Hutchinson and the packing company
were buyers. Armour sold a lot of half a
million ©otober ribs to the packing com
pany.
NEW YORK.
| Special Telepram to the Globe . ]
New Yokk, Aug. B.— The bears greatly
enjoyed another picnic to-day, and selected
for their hammering amusement Oregon
Transcontinental, which proved the weak
est feature of the day. A sudden attack
was made on this stock, and it fairly wilt
ed, falling off ±% from the opening, and
selling down to 70, which is a decline of 19
since January 1. In ISB2 it sold as low as
60. The Northern Pacifies were pressed
for sale, more particularly the preferred,
and it declined about 2. The market has
been quite active and at times decidedly
feverish. Western Union was about the
only Gould property that was well sustain
en. The way it stands up in face of the
weakness surrounding it is rather remark
able. A break in it would prove very demor
alizing to the balance. Chicago & Alton
was exceptionally strong, being quoted
at 136. Pullman sold at 128>£ and 129.
Texas Pacific was down to 30 at the last.
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indian
apolis touched 65, as against 70 last even
ing. The feeling at the finish was very
unsettled. Missouri Pacific earnings dur
ing the fourth week of July decreased
*GS,OOO, Wabash $101,000, Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas increased $30,000, and Tex
as Pacific §54,000 .
The opening was weak and the market
I soon became very feverish, with a tenden=
cy to decline on reports of trouble in the
dry gooes trade, and the hammering of
the bears. Towards noon there was a
steadier feeling, and prices recovered a
J little. The Oregon deal was the feature of
the day, and numerous reasons were given
for its decline. The most likely to be cor
rect is that Gould has been
short of Northern Pacific preferred.
j for some time and has hammered Oregon
in hope 3of breaking the former. It is be
lieved that the market will not turn till he
has covered these shorts. There was good
buying in New York Central all day, and
all the Yanderbilts were quite steady. The
Gould stocks took their punishment yes
terday, and were allowed to rest quietly.
The business situation seems to be im
proving a little. There is a better demand
for five and six months' business paper.
The refusal of the railroad operators to go
out is believed to indicate the end of the
telegraph strike. Boston dispatches say
that troubles there in wool, leather, etc.,
are over. There was inside buying of
Oregon at 71^ to 72. The market closes
very feverish, especially in Oiegon and
Northern Pacific preferred, and the bor
rowing reflects a large increase of short
I interests in all stocks. A rumor current
j in Wall street to-day to the effect that Mr.
Jay Gould's check has been refused at one
of* the" banks could not be verified. The
report is rumored to have originated in
j Ihe expiration of a time loan for three mil
' tion dollars held by me of the principal
i bank?, in Mr. Gould's name. The time
' expiring the bank, it is said, declined to
i renew the loan. This fact signifies little,
■ as loans are constantly being transferred.
The back, according to the report, held as
collateral ngainst the loin stocks and
bonds in Missouri Pacific, Western Union
and Texas Pacific. The report ereatod no
excitement among speculator?, and the
j fact of the loan being discontinued, even
if true, was considered a matter of
I every day occurrence. At Mr. Gould's
I office the report wns denied and pronounc
ed a story, circulated by the bears to affect
the market.
The Post says there i 3 nothing in the
general state of trade or finances in the
country at large to cause any considera
ble decline in prices of either securities or
commodities. The Graphic says, it is no
ticed while the bears have been able to
raid the fancy stocks, the dividend paying
securities have remained firm, which is
marked as showing that the buying by in
vestors at the low prices prevailing con
tinues. The managing partner of a large
commissien house, states that he has re
ceived within the past two weeks over
four million dollars of money to be used
in the purchase of stocks, when the cus
tomers who .have sent it, see signs of a
turn. They believe that when the market
begins to go up, that the recovery will
be very rapid, and want to pet in at the
bottom figures. The house quoted repre
i sents a large class of wealthy customer?,
j who ppeculate only upon extreme limits.
Twenty-five metneers of the distinguish
ed European party, who are to accompany
Bufus Hatch,, of Xew York, on his trip to
j Yellowstone Park, visited the wards of

2 HE TRIAL OF THE DYNAMITE VON
SPIRATORS AT LIVERPOOL,
A Rumor that Cetewayo is Still in the
Land of the L,iyin*— Trial of the Can
on of Toumay— A Bomb Thrown in the
Streets of St. Petersburg— The Cholera
Ravages.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Livebfool, Aug. 8. — The main charge
against O'Heolihy, Featherston, Deasy and
Fianigan is treason and felony, similar to
that contained in the indictment found in
Bow street police court some time ago
against Dr. Gallagher and his fellow con
spirators .
At the trial .to-day policemen testified
they saw Dalton watching Westminster
abbey, house of parliament and Lambeth
palace, and he was taking notes.
Various witnesses testified that Dalton
was a passenger in the Celtic in Febauary
under the name of Johnson, and he had
been in America ten year?. He was also
called O'Connor. When arrested in Bowles'
reading room, London, he hnd memoranda
concerning the manufacture of explosives.
He also had a roll of paper similar to some
paper around a number of brass taps
found on Deaoy. Experts testify that the
explosive articles which Deasy and Flan
nigan had when arrested were similar to
those used in the attempt to blow
up the office of the London
Times. They said the articles
in question, were not suitable for indus
trial purposes. Informer Lamie testified
that he was sworn into the Fenian brother
hood in 1867 by Sylvester Kingston. He
had sworn to assume arms at a moment's
notice in defense of the Irish republic,
and obey his superiors. He had also sworn
never to divulge the secrets of tho brother
hood, on pain of death. He had attended
drills, at which sometimes seventy-eight
persons were present. He had attended
some drills this year. The counsel for the
defense objected to Lamie's evidence, on
the ground of irrelevancy, but the objec
tion was overruled.
The British imports decreased the past
month compared with July last year,
£340,000. The exports decreased £537,000.

been committed for trial on the charge of
murdering Kinney. Mrs. Kinney was one
of the witnesses at the hearing to-day. She

pected from America. She corroborated
the evidence of the previous witnesses,
who swore they saw Poole and Kinney to

BKLGIUM.
Brussels, Aug. 8. — In the trial of Canon
Bernard, charged with abstracting papers
and securities representing several mil
lions of francs from the Episcopal palace
of the diocese of Tournay, counsel for the
defendant declared his client had a docu
ment from the pope which empowered him
to take measures he deemed best to coa
ceal the treasure. He could not have sup
posed such order meant he was only to
conceal it in Toarnay. Canon Bernard,
he said, had been made the scape
goat for Bishop Rousseaux, who had
written him while he was in New York,
virtually ordering him to continue to con
ceal the funds. Bishop Rosseaux believed
he conld avoid meeting in the court of
claims Manaqu Dumont, former bishop of
the diocese, by sending the funds beyond
the reach of jadicial power. If he had
been successful, he would have indemnified
Canon Bernard, who had merely attempt
ed an evasion of the civil law, and had not
oommitted a criminal offense. The case
has caused a very painful feeling in re
ligions circles.

THE TELEGRAPHERS.
Xo Perceptible Change iv the Condition of
Affairs Yesterday.
AN EFFECT OF THE STIKE.
LSpecial Telegram to the Globe. 1
New Yobk, Aug. B.^-The startling de
crease in bank clearings for the last few
weeks is the effect of the telegraphers'
strike. The bank exchanges of twenty
eight clearing houses for the week end
ing July 21, amounted to $1,007,870,455.
For the week ending July 28, ,they fell off
to $825,504,708 and for the week ending
August 4, to $796,508,223. The clearances
for these same twenty-eight clearing hous
es for the corresponding weeks last year
were in the neighborhood of $1,200,000,000,
showing a decrease for last week of 33 per
cent. It will not do to account for all this
shrinkage by saying that the speculative
trade has been exceedingly dull, the stock
market has been in a state of profound
stagnation, the movement of prices has
been insignificant, and the advent of the
business more insignificant. What has
produced the rapid drop during the past
three weeks clearly indicates the cause.
It is time that the summer dullness was
settling our trade throughout the country
before the operators strike. But no one
who has watched the volume of trade for
the present year believes that had things
been allowed to follow the ordinary course
the depression in New York would have
been sufficient to offset the increased vol
ume of business at other points. But the
strike unsettled everything.
TAMPERING WITH THE WIEES.
New Yobk, Aug. 8. — Last night another
onslaught was made upon the wires of the
Western Union Telegraph company, the
consequence of which was far more disas
trous than that of the preceding night.
Press Agent Somerville, of the Western
Union, said this morning that twenty-nine
wires on one route and fourteen on another,
between Passaic and Elizabethport. N. J.,
had been cut. These were wires to Phila
delphia and other points in the South
ern division. Twenty of the Mutual Union
wires were cut between Kingsbridge and
Scarsdale at Tarry town . Twelve Hudson
river wires are down and eighteen wires in
the Eastern circuits were destroyed be
tween Port Chester and Greenwich, (Conn.
Cross arms were sawed off in the latter in
stances and the wires were cut besides.
The worst wires to go down were those of
the eastern circuit, which were lost about
11:30 o'clock last night. The others went I
down shortly after midnight. A lagre force
of line men were Bent out to repair the
damage, and the lines are being repaired
as rapidly as possible. The cutting of the
wires interfered with others across which
they fell so that the greatest confusion was
created. For a long time this morning,
said Somerville, we were greatly delayed .
Superintendent Humstone estimated that
when work began this morning one-half of
the wires to Philadelphia, and a quarter of
thoso to the west, and one-third
of those in eastern circuits could
not be used. The whole uum
ber of wirescutlwas ninety-eight,but"nearly |
200 were rendered useless in consequence. !
A telegram from Fort Washington said a
gang of men had interfered with the line
men who were repairing the wires there, I
and police protection had been asked should !
the attempt be repeated. No clue has yet j
been discovered of the authors of the mis
chief, although the greatest vigilance is
being exercised . The Western Union has
employed detectives to ferret out the
perpetrators of the wire cuttir-g. It is
generally tha opinion that the striking line
men are answerable for the injuries. Tho 1
company are considerably put out by this |
new method of warfare. At the head- i
quarters of the Brotherhood of Telegraph- j
ers it was emphatically denied that the !
cutting was being done by the line men.
IN ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis, Aug. 8. — There i 3 nothing new
regarding the telegraph strike to-day, and
no further withdrawals from the Iron
Mountain railroad are reported. Every

ily along the line. Six wires of the Wa
bash road were cut about ten miles north
of^this city Monday night. The work waß
no doubt done by experts, the wires being
clearly cut with nippers and showing
marks of the steel prong climbers used by
linemen.

SMUGGLING CHINESE.
The acting secretary of the treasury to
night received a telegram from the col
lector of customs Tacoma, Washington
Territory, stating that his officers, with the
assistance of Rev. Feusmaster Walcott, had
captured a sloop engaged in running
Chinese across the line from British
Columbia. Two smugglers were arrested,
but a Chinese passenger escaped. The
collector ateo stated that nearly one hun
dred Chinese landed at various points on
the north frontier in boats and Indian
canoes within the past few days, and he
"is powerhss to prevent these
landings unless his force is largely increas
ed. Secretary Folger will bo bank in a
few days and the subject will be brought
to his attention at once. It was explained
by the officers of customs that the law
provides that no Chinese laborers L»e per
mitted to enter the United States by land
unless producing to the proper officer or
customs a certificate required by Chinese
laborers seeking to land from vessels, and
that any Chinaman found unlawfully with
in the United States, shall be caused to be
removed therefrom after being brought
before a justice, judge or commissioner of
the United States, but the duty of bring
ing the Chinamen before a justice or com
missioner or taking steps for their re
moval from the United States was not de
volved by the law upon custom officers.

A WilU Man.
I Special Telegram to the Globe. J
. Cleveland, 0., Aug. 8. — Some days
ago the news of the discovery of a wild
man in the woods, near Mason, this state,
was made public. A party of men went
in pursuit of the monstor, and last night
he was captured by the city marshal and
lodged in jail. He is a wonderful looking
specimen of humanity. His hair is long,
and his beard bushy and unkempt. He
cannot speak except by groans and grunts,
and is evidently of German descent. When
captured he was entirely nude, and when
spoken to in jail he threw himself upon
the floor and raved like a maniac. He was
taken to the county infirmary to-day.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
The Effect of the Recent Failures on Busi-
ness Throughout New England.
St. Albans, Vt., Aug. B.— Regarding the
affairs of the Vermont National Bank and
Trust company, Treasurer Burgess states
from what he knows of its condition that
the Trust company undoubtedly will be
able to pay its depositors fully in time
but could not now stamd any extensive rnn.
He could not say when they would be able
to resume. President Brainard said he
was doing all in his power to make the de
positors secure, and declared that all his
transactions were straightforward. The
whole question seems to be whether
Barlow's creditors will push
Brainard to the wall or
are lenient. Barlow has left for New
York. It is reported that he expected to
obtain relief by the disposal of Southeast
ern. It is claimed, however, by Montreal
papers that he is handicapped by an ar
rangement with the Canadian Pacific,
which virtually owns the Southeastern,
and no move can be made without its con
sent. A Montreal paper says an offer of
$4,000,000 was made for the Southeastern
road, exclusive of the rolling stock, and it
is understood that matters will be soon ar
ranged by this offer being accepted. It is
believed here if the sale of the road can be
negotiated the depositors in the National
bank will be safe.
Finance Inspector Dewey, who is exam
ining the Trust company's books, is in
clined to the belief that the depositors will
be cared for, as he thinks the only trouble
is Brainard's endorsement for Barlow,
which may be met without wrecking the
company. No serious trouble is reported
yet among the St. Albans merchants,
though some have been hard pressed on
account of dealing in checks on the Ver
mont National. The First National is in
condition to help bridge over the disaster,
and can easily raise $200,000. The finan
cial standing of the owners puts them to
trouble, on account of the extra demand
beyond question. Gov. Hendees' exami
nation of the Vermont National bank is
not yet completed, but nothing has been
found to change the opinion that the de
positors will be paid fully.
Boston, Aug. 8. — Henry Daniels, stock
broker, has suspended in consequence of
the failure of Watson, the stock broker,
who failed Tuesday. The liabilities of
Daniels are small.
Late this afternoon the business friends
of Watson came to his assistance and it is
hoped an arrangement can be madu which
will enable him to resume to-morrow .
