A decline of 10 points In the Michigan
Blate report since April 1 started wheat
firmer. There was a s*>ft spot early ow
ing to profit-taking, but the market be
came strong again on a reported improve.
ment In the strike situation at Buffalo.
A tip that the government report would
make the winter wheat condition between
70 ami 75, compared wiili 77.9 last month,
added to the buying movement. July open
r- 4 o higher, at 71%@72c, advanced to
i2%c, declined to 71% c, rallied, 72Ms<g72%c,
and closed with sellers, at 72%@72Vic.
Receipts were light. Chicago received
'.'7 1 .us against 33ti the same day last year,
mid Minneapolis and Duluth ImJ, compared
with 411 a year ago. The aggregate at
"Wt-su-rn primary markets was 296,000

was good. Receipts, 250 cars. July opened
a shade lower, at S2"4<g33e, declined to
S-'/i-c, and advanced -, to. 33% c, buyers at
the close." ■
Oats declined sharply under heavy liq
uidation, but there was a partial recov
ery near the end. due largely to the more
favorable outlook at Buffalo. Receipts
were 628 cars. The \vorld"s visible supply
decreased 1,598,000 bushels. July started a
sEade lower, at 23Vb@23 1,4 c, touched 23^4c,
sold off to 22% c, and rose to 22% <a23c, at
tlie close.
Prospects of inspection laws being pass
ed in Germany unfavorable to American
meats handicapped provisions. A break
in the price of hogs at the yards also
had a weakening influence. July pork

$8.52%, advanced to $5.57 1,»@8.60, sold off

members of the New York stock ex
change and Chicago board of trade
Michigan crop report: Lansing—
Michigan wheat suffered a loss of 10 per
cent during- April from the waira
weather and lack of rain. The condition
of the crop of the state is but 65 psr
cent of the average years. Fully 13 per
cent of the crop wiil be plowed under.
Meadows and pastures are in fairly go d
condition and clover is excellent. New
York reports a good near-by demand
for cash wheat with freights to Ant
werp up Id from l%d a week ago.
Gossip has it that the government report
on wheat to be issued on the 10th, which
last month showed 75, will be between 70
and 73 per cent.
GOVERNMENT CROP STATISTICS—
Washington, May 9.—The following crop
statistics, which supplement the recent
winter grain report of the department
of agriculture, show that the winter
grain conditions' almost everywhere in
Europe are favorable. Russian reports
complain of deficient grain, but the gen
eral condition is represented as satisfac
tory. Little, if any, harm seams to have
been done by the severe cold weather in
March in the Western countries, and
reports of spring cultivation and seed
ing are favorable. Considerably less
than a normal crop, approximately three
fourths, is indicated for India as a whole,
Bengal alone reporting unequivocally
good outruns. Roumania reports 1898
crop: Wheat. 58,456,904 bu; rye, 7,625,683;
maize, 88,000,00. This is a large gain over
1897. Austria IS9B wheat crop is reported
as 46,400,030 bu. Italy wheat crop for J8 8
is officially put at 133,371.000 bu. In Ar
gentina the area under wheat for IS3B and
1899, from which the crop was recently
gathered, has been officially estimated at
6 150,319 acres, and the aggregate product
is unofficially estimated at 70,000,000 bu.
The United States minister at Buenos
Ayres reports that the quality of the
wheat crop is fairly good and the yield
extraordinary. The maize crop now
gathering is like wheat, a good one. In
the United Kingdom the increase in the
wheat crop over that for 1897 was 18,088,
--321 bu, a percentage of increase nearly
three times as great in production as in
a GRAIN VISIBLE SUPPLY—New York.
May 9.^Special cable and telegraphic dis

STEREOTYPERS' STRIKE.
Mr. Donnelly Telia the Industrial
Commission Why It Failed.
WASHINGTON, May 9.— S. B. Donnel
ly, president of the International Typo
graphical union, was before the Indus
trial commission today. Referring to the
strike of the stereotypers in Chicago last
year Mr. Donnelly said it was a failure
because it did not have the sanction of
the general order. He thought strikes
were diminishing. The witness intimated
that there were about 4,000 Mergenthaler
machines in use in the United States, and
they had displaced about 12,000 workmen.
The printers had accepted machinery in
their work as inevitable, but he consid
ered them detrimental to their business
under existing circumstances. Mr. Don
nelly opposed the incorporation of trades
unions because he was afraid of the
courts.
"The banking systems seems to per
meate everything," he said, "not only
legislatures move in the direction indi
cated by the bankers, but the courts
must do the same thing."
Oldest Medical Recipe.
The oldest medical recipe is said by a
French medical journal to be that of a

Codnpauy for lujurien Sn«talued.
CHICAGO, May 9.—Frederick W. Par
sons, of Lifchfteld, Minn., has brought
suit against a well known patent medi
cine company for $30,000 damages for in
juries alleged to have been sustained by
him through the explosion of a medicinal
inhaler manufactured by the company.
The plaintiff declares that as a result of
the Injury the loss of his eyesight is
threatened. Counsel for the defendant
company declares that there is no founda
tion for the action, as the accident could
only have occurred through the direct
violation of the printed directions for the
use of the Inhaler.

both voluntary and forced, and values
melted away with large interests appar
ently apathetic. Marginal accounts were
wiped out and nothing escaped the fora
noon decline. The continuance of bear
pressure disheartened many and result-
Ed in shaking out many comml son
house accounts.
; The market was devoid of general news
features, but local stocks reflected fear
as to the probable effect of the Ford
franchise tax bill, which, It was the gen
eral belief, would be signed tomorrow.
London purchased some 30,000 . shares,
rendering an easier tone to sterling ex
change and acting as. the sustaining. fac
tor in the early dealings. Money on call
was strong, ranging from 3% to 6, the
latter being the quotation of the last
loan. Standard shares were thrown over
In some instances to protect specialties
that were receding at an a'.arm'ng rat?.
, The forenoon show of strength tempt
ed a renewal of short pressure and liqui
dation, which was practically continuous.
Among . the weakest -points were the
"Flower" stocks, which had . risen the
most during the long bull campaign,
Brooklyn Transit suffering a net less of
5%, new York Air Brake 12% and People's
gas over two points. Other declines
among the specialties were American
Tobacco 14, sugar and steel hoop 6% each,
Metropolitan 6, Continental Tobacco
preferred 4%, Manhattan 4%, National
Steel 4 and Consolidated Gas 2. The rail
ways suffered from one to three points
loss and there was so ' many other , weak
spots that their enumeration would be
tedious.
The bear faction was constantly on the
alert for vulnerable points and stop loss
orders were freely uncovered. In . sonvi
quarters the expectation was entertained
that the government prop report !to be
issued . tomorrow would show . little Im
provement In the winter wheat belt.
Clearing house balances today of $18,971,
--000 were the largest on record, and the
credit balance of over $13,000,000 of the
bank which managed the payment of the
Spanish Indemnity was the largest ever
liquidated at the clearing house. The
sub-treasury debit balance, over $10,000,
--000, is the largest since 1890. The closing
of the market was weak, but final prices
were well above the lowest, the total
transactionsfor the day having been con
siderably over 1,000,000 shares. : ' - '< .
There were quite a \ few issues In the
bond market, which ignored" the down
ward tendency of the semi-speculative
mortgages, whose ' losses, however, did
not exceed fractional proportions.

WALL STREET GOSSIP-New York
stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert &
Son, f bankers and brokers, 341 Robert
street, National German-American^Bank
building, St. Paul Strong, Sturgis & Co.
TnH th Our market has been quieter
and there has been distinctly less pres
sure to sell securities. The volume of
business has also been less. We are dis
posed to look for a trader's market dur
ing the next few days, and then we hope
for an improvement In prices. It is very
evident that stocks have been thrown
overboard by weak people and have con
centrated in stronger hands, the good ef
fect of which will be apparent when the
present strained situation becomes more
nominal. We think that the "blink pool"
in copper as floated by the city bank has
done much harm. The disturbance creat
ed and the sense of distrust aroused has
had a most unpleasant effect, doubtless
quite unexpected by the standard oil pro
mpters. This distrust has had a moral
effect on all industrials. Viewing the
existing conditions of trade calmly and
realizing the great prosperity, commer
cially,, of the country we cannot believe
In a declining market for any lengthy
period. Railroads are sure to do well and
parties who fear industrials can find good
opportunities for profit in the preferred
shares of Northern Pacific, Union Pacific,
Baltimore & Ohio and Denver & Rio
Grande with but little risk."
FOREIGN FINANCIAL-New York,
May .9.— Commercial Advertiser's
London financial cablegram says: "This
being the last day of the account here,
with the nineteen-day account following
business was done, and prices, irregular.
Reports after hours were favorable. The
developments at ' Pretoria , produced a
better tone. Americans opened flat and
weak, the bulls selling. Later some shares
were bought on the expectation of a
rally. New York opened selling, then'
bought. The.: street closed at the best,
though there were losses on balance
Silver closed strong at 28 7-16 d."

HOT SPRINGS, Va.. May 9.—President
McKinley has had a day of thorough rest
and comfort at the HotW Homestead

disturb him, nor did importunate callers
crowd to seek his favor. The guests
seemed to know his object was freedom

him. He spent most of his day in the
apartments set apart for his use, or on
the wide porch on which one of his win

aware until his arrival of the presidents
presence here, and Mr. John C. New. of
Indianapolis. A few minutes was given to
Secretary Cortelyou and Stenographer
Barnes, and later, garbed In a short Back
coat and derby hat, he started for a walk
with Secretary Gage on his right and Sen
ator Fairbanke on the left.
As they went along the presidents
brisk gait and strong stride, jovial dispo
sition and upright shoulders gave an un
impeachable denial to statements that his
health is Impaired beyond a necessity for /
a brief respite from the care of presiden
tial life. The trio climbed a steep hill and
then started across the well-kept lawn
to the rolling ground upon which the golf
links are located. As they walked they
passed a bright-faced "pickaninny, 4 who,
without knowledge of whom he was ad
dressing, stopped In front of the president
and said:
"Say, mister, can you give me dp tlmo?"
The president pulled out his watch and
in a friendly way said: "Just 4 o'clock,
my boy."

Drake Unlvernlty Badly- Torn Up
Over a Charge' of Horeny. .
DES MOINES, 10., May 9.—The trus
tees and students of Drake university are
in trouble over charges of heresy against
Prof. Iscar W. Morgan, professor of bib
lical languages and literaturee. Prof.
Morgan has been accused of holding
heretical ideas for a long time. He says
five years ago his ideas about the in
spiration of the scriptures began to
change, and etudy of the higher criti
cisms has convinced him that the ac
cepted orthodox ideas are unreasonable.
He does not believe that the Bible is a
divinely Inspired record of Hebrew his
tory, but that it i 3 a human account of
the history of a people In many ways
divinely guided.
The orthodox students In his classes
petitioned the trustees against this kind
of teaching, and the trustees decided to
change Morgan to the chair of Hebrew
and classic Greek, which will bring him
little in contact with the theological stu
dents. It developed in the investigation
of his teachings that President Craig
and most of the other members of the
faculty held similar views to those of
Prof. Morgan, and this was Influential in
preventing Morgan's dismissal from the
institution.
Last night students friendly to Mor
gan distributed throughout fniversity
place copies of an anonymous circular
assailing the divinity students who had
attacked Morgan. Efforts to discover
the authorship of the circular have thus
far failed. The university is badly torn
up.
