Immense Receipts OF the Cereals
nj Chicago.


CHICAGO, June 1.-Money during the
week was quiet and easy at Gallo per cent,
chiefly 7aS. The city trade has increased.

active. Currency went and came more
freely. Eastern Exchange was at par to

Another heavy break in grain occurred
this week. Wheat was good specula.
ting market, with pretty wide auetua-
lions, and tendency TO 60 lower evident
during each day. In the cash there was
a great break, It going down from 81 05
to 97c in one day, showing that well de.
yelored corner was there. Heavy re-
ceipts and high consols have wrought
their perfect work here, and although the
options have not broken down SO COM
pletely as cash, there was q strong ten.
dency to sell In all divisions OF the trade.
June wheat sold from 94tc to 900, the
lowest point being reached to-day. Corn

ceipts, and went down TO the bottom
figures. The daily average Of corn re-

reached characterized the weeks work.

sold at 501a52c; easier at the close. Bar
ley 46a47 &c; firm to-day.
Pork reac,ed about dollar from the
low ebb Of last week, and although prices
dropped again toward the close, the
course Of the market indicated that all
faith in the product had not fed. June
sold at 81 97a8 62i. Lard did not share
ia the buoyaney Of pork, but On the con.
trary went still lower, and closed to-day
at inside rates; June 6sa6.673c.

Disagreement Between the Pud-
dlers and Manufacturers.

PITTSBURGH, June 1.-To.day the slid
log scale OF prices for labor which Is au-
nually agreed upon between iron-workers
and manufacturers expired, and the busi-
meas outlook ia seemingly badly affected
by it. The mill owners and their work
men have come to no understanding with
regard to the contract for the coming
year. But three firms OF the manufac.
turers have yet signed the contract, aud
the matter will probably now be open for
individual action. Manufacturers claim
that the Boilers' Union took snap judg-
ment upon them and sent word to them
on Wednesday that they would do no
more work until the contract was signed.
Some Of the mills were shut down for Dec.
Grafton Day and have not yet started up,
and will not for the present unless the
owners reconsider their determination
not to sign the contract. From leading
manufacturer the views OF the mill.
owners were ascertained this evening,
which are any thing but favorable TO the
demands OF the workmen. This gentle
man said that pudding was being done
all over the country, East and West, for
A per ton, and In some places
as low rs So. He cited the Cam
bria Iron works, where less than s.
per ton was paid for pudding. East Of
the mountains the price ranges from
$ % to s. rs per ton, while at Chatta-
nooga 81 Is paid. The only points where
the rate is S., besides Pittsburgh, are
Wheeling, Cleveland, youngstown, Sha-
ron and New Castle, and for these places
Pittsburgh governs the rate. II the men
persist IN holding out for the contract
prices for boiling, rolling and heating,
the manufacturers hold that the conse-
quence will be that the mills will run as
little "a possible. On the other hand, the
men take more hopeful view Of af'airs,
and think that nearly all Of the mills
will start up on Monday next. They say
the iron business Ia better than this time
last year. One Of the men employed at
Lewis, Oliver & Phillips mill said that
they were using from seventy Eve TO
eighty tons ot iron per day, and would
soon start up the furnaces in the Nc.
Knight mill. He does not look for any
general suspension, but Is Of the opinion
that matters will go on much as before
the expiration Of the contract. A com
miitee Of manufacturers met President
Bishop and other members Of the Amerl.
can AmalgamAted Irou.Workers' Uuion

hela Valley miners to-day held Mass
Convention At Mosssids Station, on the P.

found fourteen miles away. A perfect
panic prevailed for 4 short time, and
comparative calm was restored for \
while, and the killed and wounded were

LONDON, June 1.-The Republisue Fran

the Congress may now be hourly expect
ed. On the other hand, dispatch dated
Bsrlin, last night, says the negotiations
between England and Russia nave moi
reached the stage Of permitting Germany
TO issue the invitations.
The Aesnee RuIas says the Congress
will hold only one session, during which
the basis Of peace will be settled and the
final treaty signed. The Congress will
also make arrangements for the execution
OF the treaty, and for the organization OF
various local commissions 10 supervise
the same. The Conference OF Embassa-
dors at Constantipople will supervise the
operations OF these commissions.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says the peo.
pie are greatly dissatisfied at the secret
negotiations now In progress. They fear
that the results Of the war will be nulli-
fed. Austrian occupationof Adakaleh
confirms them in their suspicious. The
prospect Of Congress, therefore, does
not give unmixed satisfaction.
a NiennA correspondent says the
Austrian Government utterly distrusts
Russia, and this feeling Is now shared
by the Court and Cabinet, 50 that Aus
tria's policy is no longer hampered by
divided counsels.

them with twenty-five days rations Tor

more than precaution. Russia must take
counter measures.
The health Of Prince Gortschakofi has
