HOG rRODUcTS-Werc active and stronger. In
q rather irregular way: but the advance was only
nbont equal on the average, to the decline Of Fri
day afternoon. The reaction Was greatest in lard.
which had been relatively weak for two or three
days previous. Hogs at the Stock-Yards were 1e-
ported steady, but Liverpool quoted q further de-
cline OF Sd in lard. The recent drop here called
out BUYERS, however, some deeming it wise to fill
shorts, and few investing the long side Of the

The corn that was shipped to Springfield On a
practical appeal from the State inspection here
has been decided to be too damp to grade as
No. 2. The opinion of the Inspectors and OF
majority Of thc.Committee on Appeals is there
fore sustained. The corn is probably In first
class condition for seeding purposes, but the ln-
spectors were afraid it would gcrminate in the
bin IT placed in store to stay.
The sale OF 1900 brls alcohol in this market
last Friday was made to gentleman from Ma

weakness, was difficult to ascertain. Opinions
were Divided on the subject according as the
parties we're on the long or the short side of the
deal. Tie last named supposition was probably
the correct one. The market could scarcely be
called strong, however, as buyers were not anx-
ous at the top prices Of the session, but sellers
were more cautious in view OF the greater will
ingness to buy ut bottom figures.
The other produce markets were steadier and
hrmer, in sympathy with wheat, though the
weather was supposed to be favorable to farm-
ing operations, and large arrivals Of grain were
expected after the coming week to fill May
sales. Provisions were wcak early, but the later
feeling !yas one Of firmness, though with less
doing.

Ulysses s. Grant. JT.. Boss Shepherd aud
John 1. Davenport Take In the TO,cn-No
Truth in the RM,nor of Police Interior
cnce.
The Boston Herald of the 10Th contained
the following dispatch from New York:
Theodore Allen, the somewhat famous
gambler and Republican politician, lately
opened large and gorgeous pretty waiter
saloon on Blocker street, near Broadway
Last night Ulysses 8. Grant, Jr., end ex-Gov.
Shepherd. of Washington, we're in the city
and John I. Davenport, the federal super
visor of elections, took them ont to see New
York by gaslight. They visited Aliens
place after midnight. At O'Clock the doors
were closed, in compliance with the excise
law, but the distinguished party remained
inside until much later. It happened on
Saturday evening that the police had one of
their periodical spasms of enforcing the law
against the sale of liquors in variety theatres,
and Harry Hill, whose show is close to
Aliens, was notified to cease business. This
led to rumor that police raid was to be
made on Alien for the express purpose of
catching Grant, Shepherd and Davenport,
and it is said that they were panic stricken
Tor while.
This evening reporter was instructed to
inquire into this piece of news. He dis
covered that Boss Shepherd and Ulysses S.
Grant, Jr.. did start on Saturday night to
see New York by gaslight. They were under
the protection of John I. Davenport and a
Central Office detective, who has become
famous for his ability to show distinguished
visitors the sightsin the city. They did not,
however, 60 to sThe." Aliens dance house.
The party went ali over the city, and shortly
before midnight were at Harry Hills. There
they learned the orders sent out by Superin-
tendent Walling about enforcing the excise
law, bI& they showed no alarm. After leav-
ing H. Hill's they we're driven to the fire

CHINESE IMMIGRATION

Reception of Hayes Veto Message in Chi
MA Hint at Terrible RetaIiatory Meas
ures Had Different Course Have Been
Pursued.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2l.-The following was
received per the ship North American from
Yokohoma Hong Kong April 9.-News of
the veto of the anti Chinese bill excites various
and conflicting comments. Americans in China
express satisfaction at the rejection of SO sum-
mary plan for disposing of the question at
issue. Europeans merely evince surprise, hav-
ing in most cases anticipated different action.
The Chinese take contradictory views even
among themselves. In the Immediate neigh
borhood of Hong Kong, the port of
immigration where the friends and relations
of the Chinese now in America reside, much
gratlhcatlon Is shown. The idea
appears to prevail that future perse-
cutions are impossible, but there is no indi-
cation of increased departure. Around Shang-
hal the populace are apparently Indifferent
and the officers reticent. Private advices from
Pekin warrant the supposition that the
veto will not be received with un-
mixed pleasure. 1t is reported on good author
lty that the government had prepared for a
contrary result and intended to take advantage
of the bill as precedent for strong measures.
1t is even probable that the Chinese minister
in America was provided some time since with
special instruction to announce retaliatory
proceedings. Under the changed aspect Of
affairs the precise truth on the point will be
difficult to discover. Certain it was
that after learning of the passage Of the bill
by the House of Representatives, members
of the Tsung Lii Ganger displayed feeling
the reverse of disappointment. Many foreign
| residents of Pekin conceived that the govern
ment would have welcomed the excuse for mi
| tiating an extreme anti-foreign-at least anti
American-policy. These statements are COM
inundated in good faith, and with perfect con-
fdence in their accuracy, though it is impos-
sibe to verify them with absolute certainty.
Chinese newspapers exhibit indignation at
the final incorporation Of 500 Choo Rir Kin
with Japan. Minor officials are emphatic in
denial of the legality of the act The higher
authorities are non-communicative on the sub
ject, with no sign Of offering serious oppo-
sition.
Lii Hung Chang, viceroy of Chihui and COM
mander-in-chief of the army, is preparing
grand review of all the troops at Triensin for
the enlightenment of Gen. Grant. In Shang-
hal, Grant will be the guest of the vice consul,
| Gen, Bailey.
