CHICAGO June 80, 1S70.-Such heated term
as W. have suffered here for the last ten days
has not been experienced for ycare The
long continued drouth has affected a wild
extent of country and done serious injury TO
the growing crops. For two or three days
we have had slight showers in different parts
of the city and vicinity, but none extensive
enc ugh to include the whole city at once, or
heavy enough to do more than merely wet
the surface. The indications Of rain, to day
however are stronger than usual, and gath
ering shower in the West promises good
deal Of moisture somewhere. 1t is sadly
needed.
THE MONEY MARKET
is still stringent, ard though tho banks deal
literally with shippers, they discourage the
holding of grain here in large quantities., by
requiring the holders to put ~ arge mar
gins. There is q very large amount OF
WHEAT IN STORE
| here, held at prices which make margin
against the shipper, aud the amount is in
crcasug instc I'd OF diminishing. This, wit
tie amount in store in Milwaukee, consti
| tutes the chief grain supply Of this country;
! for there is very little held in New York.
! And the policy Of the owners seems % be to
1
| their terms. Wheat has fallen 10 cents in a
| week, and ranges at Sl.050l.06.
! OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES By WIND AND LIGHTNING
The casualties and fatal accidents yesteI
| day were unusual, A man named Mckinney
digging a sewer on Division street, was killed
! by sun-stroke DR.. D'Evas, owner OF drug
| store, while lowering a cask Of wine into the
cellar, got before i to let it down easy, when
the cask slipped, knocked him down, rolled
over him and killed him. Several persons
were sun-struck who recovered, and one hes
in q critical condition. A man named Tip
| Edwards was killed by lightning at p. M,
while working in the brick yard at Bridge
port. AT Dexter Park the wind storm smash
ed things generally, blowing of the roofs OF
the grand stand, and the Ladies Pavilion, let
| ting loose several thousand pegions, and in
their fall killing one John Coffee, late deputy
Marshal for the Southern District OF Wlscon-
sin.
BUSINESS
shows general decline among all classes
even the largest wholesale dealera. Prices
! of goods are lower, and those wishing tC
close out their stocks, either to so into .thei
husiaess, or to remove to new delds, adyer-
t-e their goods at go low rates that they have
thrOngs Of customers.
