THE GRAIN MARKRT.-There is q flrn
market for wheat, corn and oats at Chi
cago, as also at Cincinnati and Western
points generally. This Is owing to dimin,
ished receipts and also, 80 far as corn Is
concerned, TO firm market at Liverpool.
AS regards wheat, the receipts at both
Chicago and Milwaukee are lessening,
and, according TO the Chicago Tribune Of
Saturday, 1t is expected that they will
reach very low point by the close Of this
week. 1t is confidently stated that the
West has been swept unusually bare Of
wheat this year owing to the high prices
that have prevailed and exceptionally low
rates Of freight from the Mississippi river
to Chicago. There Is also pretty large
short interest in wheat in Chicsgo. The
Tribune says that it is VERY large" In
oats also there is short interest, and the
difference in cash sales and sales for
August delivery is anywhere from 10 to
IA cents per bushel. In regard to the late
rains, the Tribune observes as follows:
The rain has had the effect of overturn.
ing the spectators, who were buying
corn for future delivery upon the assump-
tion that the drought would continue and
the crop be light or a failure. No orders
have been received on that account since
the storm Of Tuesday night. 1t may now
be considered that the corn has been
saved, and that the early anticipations Of
q large crop will be realized. When tits
considered that the rainfall was as much
needed for potatoes, oats and grass az 1t
was for corn, the commercial value OF the
change Of weather, and the difference in
profits to the farmers Of half.a.dozen
Northwestern Statef, can be estimated
only by millions Of dollars. Never was
rain more needed, and never was the
blessing more gratefully received.

year ending July 1st were only about
$4,000 Qess than sufficient to pay
interest and other items,' the prospect
OF discharging It's floating debt is not i'm.
mediately encouraging. The President
therefore calls upon the stockholders to
come to the rescue by purchasing some Of
its second mortgage bonds. Failing to do
this, he intimates that serious conso.
quences may happen to the capital stock.
His language Is as follows:
"Unless those interested in the property
come to its relief and take these securi.
ties at the rates hereinafter indicated, Il
seems inevitable that these bonds must be
disposed OF at prices much below their
real value, and still the Company not be
relieved from embarrassments that may
ultimately cause sacrifice Of It's capital
stock"
Speaking Of the future prospects OF the
road, the President says that " n =.
Could we by the sale of the remaining
second mortgage bonds be carried over
this crisis, we feel assured that the in
