WHAT Is WHEAT DOING'
A Decline Of Ten Gel Is Per Bushel

Uncertainty About Ghe Future Of the

Uncertainty About the Future Of the
By reference to our commercial reports
this morning, it will be seen that 4 signih-
can't decline in the wheat market is re-
corded. The highest point was reached
last Thursday, when $l.45 was the ruling
price for sound and dry white wheat. In
consequence Of similar turn
in the principal western markets on
Friday there was a weakening, which
continued and became more and more ap-
parent until yesterday, when the unsettled
condition Of the market was somewhat de-
teTmined By an acknowledged decline Of
10c per huShel. ThOSeswhO have closely
watched the advices from other cities West
aud East have perceived that the reaction
here is only a copy OF thai III the governing
markets.
At present there are various predictions
as to what will be the future course OF the
market. some contendiDg that it viii 60
much higher, continuing 10 advance until
spring, and others that IL will decline still
further. The downward tendency which
has evinced itself in the past few days,
does not seem, by any means, per
sistent, as there are now no con
certed indications in that direction
elsewhere. While she dispatches pub
hshed this morning from st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Louisville are not so favor
able, vet New York is quoted fairly active
and / TO 2 cents better, Baltimore active
and strorg and ChicsSo tirmer. All those
markets seem 10 have reached temporary
resting place, the fluctuations being up and
down within very narrow limits, as If there
vas an uncertainty which way TO so. 1t
will be seen, too, that the future prices in
st. Louis and Chicago for this
month and the next adhere close
ly 10 the spot prices, rather showing
the same state of uncertainty. it may be,
Q Eeyer. that the market has settled with
S, ne degree Of permanency at present
rates. If so, it is we'll; for they are nigh

West. But we have at pIeseD- no
| advice to give, being with those
who feel somewhat az sea. 1t Toes
not seem likely that the market can
settle for the season at figures much be.oS
present prices, in view Of all the simu-
ia.ing circumstances. We are inclined to
1.-THE opinion that il will either TemaiE in
its present vicinity or finally advance to a

fairly remunerative. IL is often the secret

Martha Russell and Carrie COlquitt, two
sisters Of the First COlored Baptist Church,
had a rousing fight on Cedar street yester-
day afternoon. Last week they got into a
quarrel about a dress and one Of their
male ac0uaintances, and since that time
thew have kept up a lively war OF words.
Yesterday they came down TO ape
Smiths, who is deacon IN
their church to try and settle the matter
In discussing the affair both warmed up,
and used language that neither proposed I o
take so they went 10 pummeling each
other with their parasols in the llVeilesJ
manner imaginable. These slight weapons
IasIad only a few rounds and then they
cIencbed, They tore each others clothing
at a fearful rate. Nelson Merry, their pas
tor. happened to be present, and another
church officer besides Smith, was also
on fbe scene. They rushed into the melee,
separafed shs cOnbatants as soon Is posi-
ale. and Quiet was restored. When the bel
ligereut sisters departed, Russell went be-
fore Justice Butler, and Colquitt put In an
appesranoe before Justice Campbell. Each
sEore out warrants against the other, and
hotb were arrested. However, they com.
nromised the matter, each paying half tbs
cost of the suit, and promising 10 DO better

PROTESTED "NANCY."
curious suit Growing ont o. a Trolling
Race.

Curious SuiE OEOWiiis Ottt % a AEOtAAAs
Race.
Some weeks ago atrUttiHg race came OF
over The Nashville TlottiDg Track. After
one Of tie entries, Nancy Gray had won
the 6rst heat a protest was entered against
her on the ground that she had trOtted at
another park two years previously, under
The name Of sNancy." The protest was
made verbally and the judges required
IL TO be reduced to writing, which was
done, and the paper given into their hands,
They then announced fIOm the stand that
he mare Wculd continue in the race, IN
der protest, but would be allowed to CON
tend for the purse.
When the horses were Started for the
second heat, Rusty Shilling showed up
ia speed and came out ahead.
Tie third, fourth and fifth heats
were won by .'StOrIn," making
him the winner of The money and race.
The Judges decided that pool holders
should bepaid the amounts their tickets
called for, which was setting aside the pro
lest against "Nancy Gray" Their ground
for this COulse was that she won only one
heat, which was very different from win
ming the race. John and L. *. Watson,
livery stable keepers Of this city, commended
that the decision was unfair and brought suit
for the recovery % S24i, the amount In
vested BIZ them in pools. The case came
up before Justice Everett yesterday after
noon, the plaintiffs being represented Gy
w. G.. Brieu, and the defendants by John
| ID. Bricn. A number Of witnesses were
examined, and the attorneys discussed the
points i'm The case at length. Justice
/ Everett held the case under Amusement TIL

FRANKLIN BURGLARIES.
Attempts 40 Break Into the National
Rank and walter BENEFITS store.


Our Franklin, Tenn, correspondent
writes: "The burglars are still at work in
our midst, attempting almost nightly TO
break into somebody's house. Last Satur-
day night an attempt was made to break
into our National Bank, but from some
cause it proved unsuccessful. They bored
a hole with a twO-inch aUger into the back
window, evidently with the intention Of
efscting an entrance through this window,
hut they abandoned the job before 1t was
completed.
con the same night an attempt was also
made to enter the stoIe-hOuse of w. j.
Bennett, but believe 10 other damage
was done than the boring Of hole partly
through the door. Verify, the thirst for
plunGer is growing nightly, and we hope
that these night providers will eventually
meet With such fate as will forever after
put a check to their infamous doings."
