6 WHEAT ON THE UP GRADE. An Early Slum} FQlloweafty^a Move ment Toward the Dollar Hark. The Action of the Market a Surprise Even to Its Manipu lators. Financial Operations of the Honey Kings—The General Quota tions. Chicago. May 31.— The course of the wheat market was a genuine surprise to the majority of the speculators. From decided weakness during the first two hours it developed later most pro nounced strength, and instead of a loss, as threatened in the beginning, the July delivery gamed 2.^c. The interval of Decoration day has, therefore, failed to diminish the courage of the bulls, who appeared merely to have laid in wait until the shorts had made their lines heavy enough to be tempting, and then continually coralled them. July wheat sold from 90% cup to 93% c, and closed at 93#@93%C. There was a struggle at the open ing to put prices down. The market hovered for a time around 91% and9lKc, and then forged gradually ahead until 91% c was recorded. There being nothing in the early items of news to stimulate the buyers, the prices gradually fell away again, until at length they struck 90?£c about one and a half hours after the opening. Then came reports from the Northwest which claimed a deficiency of moisture In tha t region so far, and venturing to predict not over 75 per cent of a crop for Min nesota and Dakota, and that brought in some buying ordars, which caused a re action to about Pl-tfc. The northwest ern bugaboo had. exhausted its influ ence, and prices were again on the de cline and had ouce more worked down as tar as 99%, when a rumor was spread that some one had a dispatch this morn ing on the condition of wheat in Mis souri which said it would show 5 per cent decline in the forthcoming state report.** The buying up on this piece of news became "fast and furious," and in fact there were no sellers of an amount uutil the price had reached 92c. A few minutes later it was 92^c, and the advance was not stopped until after 93% c had been paid. Thus far it has takeu the sellers two hours to knock off about }{c from the opening price by laborious chipping, like a mechanic chiselling at an iron casting, and in fifteen minutes one blast of wind, sup posed to have come from Missouri, oblit erated the deelineand added 2%c to the opening price. Nothing could better illustrate the nervous feeling in the market and upon which side the pre ponderance of the trading sentiment is. ltumors concerning the Illinois state re port were also rife about the same time, predicting a falling off of 12 to 13 points in the condition of wheat in this state. The parentage of this latter rumor was denied by several firms who are usually well posted on the opinion of the experts in the employ of the agricultural bureau at Springfield. The market having once advanced, showed no disposition to return to a lower level, and hung on the top rung of the ladder or very near it until the tap of the bell at 1:15 p. m. The bull enthusiasm in the wheat pit was not communicated to corn to any great ex tent, the favorable weather and liberal receipts restraining the ardor of the buyers. Trading was rather inanimate and fluctuations very narrow. Busi ness in the oats crowd was quiet and the market rather uninteresting. Toward the close there was a break .in prices which was nearly recovered except for the Mai' option, which closed lj^c lower. July showed a range of only 3- 4 c during the entire session. The provision mar ket was exceedingly quiet. Pork closed as on Thursday; ribs and lard 2}{c lower. Leading futures ranged as follows: *~~ Open- High- Low- • Clos- Autic;.es. ing. est. est. ing.

The stock market to-day was quiet, as was expected, the holiday session coining between two holidays, and the attendance being very meager, the fluctuations as a rule were neither wide nor significant. The deal ings for the most part were profess sional, and the final result of the day's trading is to leave prices within small fractions of last Thurs day's closing figures. The London mar ket.which is still under the influence of the restoration of passenger rates in the West, was strong and even buoyant,: and the figures from that place this morning were materially better than ours of Thursday afternoon. This mar ket responded with opening; advances extending to % per cent, and the strong feeling continued until further frac tional advances were established over the entire list, and even the trusts were for the time being unusually strong. When the first demand was satisfied, however, the traders went in for a turn on the short side, and pretending to be over anxious abcut the bank statement sold stocks freely all around the room, with the result of depressing most stocks to a shade below the opening prices, while a few like the trusts were brought down '*. to ma terially lower figures. Chicago Gas proved most vulnerable and dropped to 49% after selling at 53^. while Sugar lost all of its early advance of . about 2 percent. In the regular list. Louis ville & Nashville was pressed for sale, and fell away l^ per cent, while among the low-priced shares, Louisville, New Albany & Chicago and Laclede Gas made very heavy declines for such stocks. The bank statement, however, proved to be unusually favorable, the increase in the surplus reserve, being nearly a million and a half, which caused an effort in the last few minutes of business to recoup the early sales for the short account, with the result of bringing many stocks up to and above first prices. The close, however, was rather heavy and com paratively quiet. The final changes are very irregular, and generally for small fractions only, but Colorado Coal is up 2% and Wisconsin Central 1%; while Chicago Gas is down 1 per cent. Rail road bonds were quiet and almost abso lutely without special feature, beyond some animation in Atlantic & Pacific incomes and Laclede J* ; fives, the latter being weak. The trading reached only $567,000. Sales for week aggre gated $6,821,000. Governments have been dull ' and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected. The exports ot specie last week amounted to $25,1*40, ail gold, of which $8,803 went to Europe and $16,937 to South America. The exports of specie for the week amounted to • $84,514, of which $23,952 was in gold and $60,562 in silver. The Post says: "It was well known that the drop of <S% in Sugar • Trust Thursday on top of ; seven points decline in the two pievious days was caused by the selling of 'insiders,' but it also caused some dismay among deal ers who had been active in marketing it up and expected it to go higher, and therefore had as demoralizing an effect on some of the most active speculators as was caused by the unexpected de cision in Chicago, against the J legality of the Chicago Gas trust— for. whatever might have been : the expectations of lawyers, the decision of Judge Collins was a surprise to the speculators in Gas Trust. Some of the leading op erators had also been expecting a more important downward reaction than that of Thursday, and they had consequently sold some of their long stocks, and put out lines of shorts in Atchison, St. Paul, Union Pacific and Kock Island. Added to these features was the disappoint ment in regard to the failure of ' the trunk lines to make a complete settle ment of the freight rates east of Chicago and Duluth, so that altogether it .was a; very feverish market, 111 which ; there was so much confusion and contradict ory features that many ."of -; the usual daily speculators were doing- almost nothing." Nevertheless, ,; there, > was a , general prevailing . sentiment . that j as soon as the disturbance caused by.the* decline in the trust stocks cleared away the general list of railway stocks would advance, and certainly the general con-: ditions of railroad traffic ; have not been so favorable for four or five . years as at present. To a large ex tent : this : ; improvement *> in rail road affairs has been J" reflected: in the list for the past i month and created • the greater part ;of the "improvement, , viz: : the settlement " of * the., passenger • rate war and the probable settlement of the ; freight rates west of Chicago, have j been the development of the last week, _-_Kw_______a__ta-___H-___k-*i___B___B_lbinMMffiaß_E_M>^^ / _ THE SAINT PAUL I DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORMNG, J-UNE 2, 1890. during which prices have declined and consequently left room for an '■ advance to correspond with the advance liv rail road bonds.

From Interior Cities Highly Encouraging. Chicago. May 31.— R. C. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says : Another week has brought the distinct reaction; in speculative markets which was' only suspected a week ago, and reports from interior cities continue" highly encour aging. Improvement is observed at Chicago, Milwaukee, - Minneapolis and other points where the brighter wheat prospects have most effect, recent rains having justified larger estimates. At the South business is satisfactory, for the season. - The great industries - have not materially changed in position. The iron and steel industry has not ytt real ized the decided improvement wliicli dealers hoped was foreshadowed by the firmer 'tone last week, and buyers do not forget that the present production at the rate of 9,000,000 tons yearly is more than the- couutry has ever vet taken into consumption. In the speculative markets, wheat has had a sharp fall of s^c on sales of 85,000, --000 bu here. With only a month more be fore new wheat will begin to fill the channels of commerce, it is certain that the country will have '-. to carry over a large unsold surplus. Corn lias been unchanged - and oats half a cent lower. Oil speculation has also weakened 2^c, and the usual decline at this season in; dairy and garden products -. has ■: com menced. But cotton has been screwed' J up another quarter of a cent by manipu lation," and - coffee has been lifted as j much. . The general trend of prices is again more than 1 per cent lower -than: a week ago. Money mar kets of the interior have been amply sup plied, and, while money ;is stiffer at Boston, closer at Cleveland and in brisk j demand at Milwaukee, the demand is good at Kansas City, fair at Chicago and - moderate at most other Western towns, but the market is stronger at St. Louis. The general tendency has been toward relaxation in the demand and return of currency to this point.

MI^r«EAPOt.IS*. Chamber of Commerce. Wheat J ruled lower . to-day. The opening was at about 90c July, with fair transactions; from that down to 89c. There was a . good deal of buying •* against long purchases and shorts pounded it. After 89e: was reached more of a disposition to buy was - started and t prices gradually appreciated until July* went : up about lc above were it started this morn ing. Good weather for growing crops and good reports from California and . from some of the central wheat states were . the basis, of . the decline.. J The larger holders of both cash .wheat and long futures threw none of theirs. - At some seasons in the day business was dull, - but on the whole there .- was ' liberal trading.

The posted receipts of wheat for the past forty-eight hours were 221 cars, with 24 cars shipped out. The * cash wheat market was veiy dull yesterday and prices were weak and lower, i sympathy with the decline in fut ures. There was no buying of - prominence, except by local elevator companies at %c under July for contract grade. Local millers bought a tie of the better grade early at about July prices, but they were very particu lar in what they took and were soon sup plied. Low grades were working out very ■ slowly.

He Claims the Earth for the G. O. P. ';- Bostox, June I.— The Home Market club had for its special- guests last evening Hon. Redtield Proctor, secretary of war; !- Hon. Thomas B. Reed, speaker of the house of repre : sentatives, * and ;J Congressmen : Dincley j and Grenhalge. Among - other promi nent persons present were the'follow ing: Senator Hoar, Hon. . Nathan; Goff Jr., . Congressman Stew art, ■■' Ex-Gov. •■-". ■: Cheney, of New Hampshire; Collector Beard, Gov. Brackett, Hon. A. E. Pillsburv, Hon. William E. Barrett,- Mayor.- Hart i : and * : Hon. "W. A. Russell. v, Speaker Reed received an exceptionally cordial reception. - Hon. " Timothy Merrick, : president of the club, presided.* His * allusion . when introducing Sec retary . Proctor .: to the latter's refu sal to officially recognize the death of Jefferson Davis was received by the as semblage with tumultous applause. Gov. Bracket .welcomed the guests to the commonwealth in a neat speech. Mayor Hart followed j and performed a similar service on behalf of the city. Secretary Proctor was the next speaker." - His speech did not deal with national affairs at alt, being devoted chiefly to social reminiscences. Speaker Reed followed the secretary; and -received an ovation.: He said: "To ■be a Republican in a presiden tial campaign, is. very easy, for -whenever this country is aroused, it always puts itself upon the: side of progress. The test then, not of j Republicanism, but of Republicans, is : in an off-year. I need not say to an au dience as intelligent as this, that when-" ever anything is J done in this country it has to be done by * the Republican party. If a . tariff bill has? to be passed, we pass it; if a cur rency question lias to be settled, we set : tie it. The . Republican party, declared Air. Reed, was J not the party of Massa chusetts or a party of New England exclusively. It was the - party of the whole country, and whatever the party did, it done for the people's greatest good. The tariff bill just passed by the house was passed with an unanimity of action on the part of Repuulicaus without parallel in the . history of the country. The committee .on ways and means in the house, he asserted, rep resented every great .interest of the country. A. glance at the .names of its members was enough to show that. Re ferring to the ■_ industries of Massa chusetts and other places in New England, Mr. Reed said there was no doubt an idea prevailing that under cir cumstances these might be carried on to a greater advantage. For instance, if raw material could be had free. That may be so, but the simplest course in this world is not always the safest. Remember that the principle uoon which protection is founded is not the fostering of *; a few pet industries, but the ;' preserving of the American market to the American people. If you demand it, you - must . grant it. If you believe :it ; for yourselves, you cannot stand up 7. and ; disbelieve : in it for others. *.W hat you need is not ouly: the business of to-day, but the business of to-morrow." What you need. 'is not ..a; boom, but : a steady, regular business. How is can . you - get * this if you? shut out from the American market your own fellow citizens. If the ■ want stability you must broaden. If you ask, you must give, and you will do so. Remember there is no time of greater danger than after a victory. The enemy then have nothing to lose and they are on the alert. They have every thing to gain; and if you will only remember the correlative that after a victory you have everything to lose, [ then you wili gird on your armor and push on to battle and show in politics the soundness of that doctrine of relig ion with which I began— the doctrine of ; the perseverance of the saints. Con gressmen Dingley and Greenhalge and others spoke. . •**'*> BIG MONEY FOR MISSIONS. United Presbyterians Appropriate Many Thousands.

A Veteran Hotel Clerk's Novel Idea in Sizing Up His Gnests. Detroit Free Press. "I can generally size up a man by his necktie and collar.'? said a veteran clerk, "ln fact, those are features I take in most thoroughly when I first make my general inventory of a guest, ■ and nearly always, something happens before he goes away to prove that ; my estimate is correct. I find that men who are careless as to their neckwear will put up with almost any kind of a room without grumbling, but that they must have a good bed and plenty of blankets. "Men who are exceedingly particular, with their collars and ties will raise a row over an ordinary bill of fare a hun dred times to one complaint they will make over their room. The chap who wears a severe cut of collar and a stock sort of necktie wants everything of the best, and seldom fails to insinu ate that his bill is a trifle high, while the man who is a leader in neck fash ions takes" what he gets without com- Elaint, and. pays his bill cheerfully, lence he generally gets the best in the \ house. rigfggggjmGßßi . _m Different Ways of Putting It.
