CHICAGO, May 1.-Cables higher on every
thing. Our wheat market opened up in beau
tiful shape for the bulls with considerable do.
ing at the advance, May selling 81. Az; June,
81. .121s; July, $1.0715. Plenty of property
changed hands at those figures, but from some
unexpected reason the offerings became liberal,
and prices started on the down grade. There
was no excitement but slowly and quietly it
went from under the boys, closing at the low
est point of the day, May, Sl.1219; June,
S1.1O115; July. $l.O51s. The deliveries of wheat
are nothing comparatively, and the few strag
Cling lots around found resting place in the
old hole. Rumors are afoat this evening of
lower closing cables.
Corn started in zippy, but the slow and easy
decline in wheat unsettled this cereal, and 1T
also winds up sick, May, 3611a; June, 36; July,
36%. What corn was going around went to its
king. He has it and controls the May kind.
Provisions-There were very large deliveries
of this product, but 1 think provisions had
been made for it. The market was unusually
slow but firm in tone, closing with good de-
mand at quotations. June, $l0.0719; July,
$1O2O15. Lard easy. Hogs running heavy
now days. and most of it goes into it.

Nothing more was heard from the Big

all of whom regret that the recent consolida-

A project has been aired in the State Sen

track to be laid along the tow paths of the

basis of operations designed to bring the
canal wholly under control of the railway

Commissioner Fisk asserts emphatically
that there is no intention to further reduce
east-bound rates. On the contrary there Is
a general desire among the trunk line mana
gers to maintain the present rates through

time being made by water-and the mana
gers won't stand that long.

Clyngman's Patent,

Washington, Aug. 30.-An appeal has
been filed in the district supreme court by
ex-senator Thomas l.. Clingman, of Nash.
vile, N. c., against the decision of the cont
gress of patents in refusing him a patent for
an improvement In electric lights, the device
sought to be patented as sphere of siceno-
mas combined with luminous agnesa lime
of solica, or glazed with pure zinconia, this
being sustained by two plantinous wires, and
gives light by its resistance to the electric
fluid, and in consequence, incandescence be-
ing infusble and incombustible. The reasons
of the examiners of patents for refusing the
patent were that his claims conhicted with q
patent issued to I. A. Edison, December Is
1879, for light from incandescent zinconia
and another to one jenkins, March 4, 1879
for platinous supports, etc. The case ha:
been placed on the calendar for the Septem
Der term of court.

New Life Saving station,

Washington, Aug. 30.-Sumuer j. Kim
ball. chief Of the life saving service, has just
returned from tour of inspection on the
lake coasts. During his absence he selected
sites and caused to BIO made the necessary
surveys for building more stations, as fol
lows: Lake Huron, one station at Sand
Beach harbor of refuge and one at Port
Austin; also, one station at Sleeping Bear
point, on Lake Michigan. Plans and speci-
fcations f,r these stations are nearly COM
peted, and proposals will be advertised for
very soon. 1t is expected that the stations
will be completed and ready for occupancy
by the lst of November. Mr.. kimball vis-
tied all the lake stations and mace thor
ough inspection of the buildings, boats, ETC.,
The crews of the different stations were ALEC
examined in all their maneuvers and other
duties relative to the service. Only two
keepers were found deficient and suspended.
With these exceptions the entire force was
found to be in admirable condition. The
station houses, boats, etc., were also found to
be in flrst-class order. When the lake sta
tons were first started some fear was felt that
they would not compare favorably with the
service, but that fear proved to be groundless,
as the station crews in every respect compare
favorably with the best stations on the Allan
tic coast.

FIOated A shore.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. SO.-There is little
news from the wreck of the Marine City
steamer. 1t has Aoated ashore, but burned
to the waters edge. Later statements say
that the steamers books and papers were
lost, so that the work of ascertaining just
who was lost, and how msny,will be work OF
some difficulty. 1t is estimated that there
were 100 passengers and crew of 40 on
board. About $50 are reported to have been
saved. Three bodies have been recover cd
but not yet identified; on one of the bodies a
cuff was found marked with the name of
Watson. The proximity of the steamer to
the life-saving station at Surgeon Point, near
the neighborhood of the tug Vulcan and the
fishing boat Grayling, the GOODNESS of Cap
tain Conor and the crew of the burned
steamer, and the fact that it was daylightand
the time and distance all aided in rendering
the loss of life comparatively small.

A NentFrnud.

Washington, Aug. S0.--The secret service
has recently received trade dollar which
had been neatly scooped out in the centre,
leaving only a thin plate on each side. The
cavity was filled with solder and the edges
bound with rim Of silver which had been
skillfully miled in exact imitation of the
genuine work. The remarkable feature
about this coin is that the weight and ring OF
the genuine coin had been successfully imi.
tsted and the coin was detected
only by the merest accident. From
the fact the work was OF
suoh painstaking and accurate character
and such small profit was realized, it is be-
lieved that it was done in China and sent
over to this country. This method of rob-
bing Uncle Sam is not unknown in this coun-
try, but II 10 seldom that skill requisite for the
work is satisfied with the small profit arising
from manpulations of coins of small denom-
nations. Gold coins of the denomination OF
ten and twenty dollars have been frequently
doctored in this way.
