As 1t Casts Its Light on the Chicago
Market.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Egen the best air, if
played, whistled and sung continually for ones
ears, will get tiresome. and so am almost
afraid of firing your readers by day in and day
out reporting cables dull and lower on wheat.
The market opened about last nights closing,
sold off some in sympathy with our cousins
across the pond, but we on this side soon took
courage, and slow but sure the opening price
was reached and even passed. Outside reports
and no demand for cash, had the influence any
how that cash and August finally settled under
September, and prices closed 67I August; 68
September; S81l October; SO November.
Corn was lively deal again to-day, advanc-
ing 11s to 114c since yesterdays regular clos
ing. 1t is no use talking. Speculation has
got an eye on the article. hope you have
put down in your memorandum that SO cents
is predicted, as want you to set 'em up for me
and the boys when that price is struck.
Provisions-It would be improper to men-
to the skill of our well known and successful
boss. Speak about Old Vanderbilt's little
games; they could have been played in more
cunning manner, but steadfast aim gives our
man the prestige. What nice little game to.
day, and no blufing. He has got the right
cards in his hand and no Dutch flush about it.
August to November pork kept steady
with very little huctuation, but long futures
from November and over improved 81 to $1.15.
Do you hear up there? He is making people
familiar with high prices, and by and by fu-
lures will come up SO that he can sell out at
his figures, and then he goes about on the
other tack, but it shall all happen in dense
dark squall that will not let his manoeuvres be
seen before he has good headway. Then every
one sees it, if he is not short sighted and has
forgotten his glasses in the FOOLS drawer or
towards closet at home.

TIE PORK CORNER.

A Short Seller Refuses TO Pay Any
More Margins---Charge That the Pres
ent Price is Fraudulently Maintained
Interesting Question for the Board
OF Trade to settle.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Some time ago Asa Dow
sold 5000 barrels of year pork short at about
$10 per barrel, and has been margining as the
market advanced. To-day he was called on for ad.
ditional margins by the broker to whom he sold
out, and who is supposed to represent Armour
s. Go. Dow refused to respond, taking the
ground that the present quoted price of pork
is fictitious; that the market is being manipu-
lated, and that the process by which margins
are being eztorted from short sellers is fraud
ulent. The price of year pork at the close to-
day was $13.s5 per barrel.
This action of Mr.. Dow will
bring the matter before the arbitration COM
mittee of the board and will probably cause
some official action on the question whether or
not corner in pork is being worked here.
Meantime the broker intends tomorrow to buy
in the pork provided prices are higher and to
charge against Dow the balance over and shave
the point at which his margin expires.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Aug. l9.-The papers are again full
of disheartening reports of the harvest in
Silesia, Posen and East and West Prussia.
Crops in certain districts of these provinces
may be said to be wholly destroyed and the
river embankments swept away, bridges float
ing down, villages flooded, farms inundated
and vast tracts of grain-growing land converted
into lakes and swamps by torrents of rain.
PROVINCES t
A correspondent who penetrated to the fur
thermost parts Of Silesia, estimates in one po-
tato district alone, the damage done amounts
to $50, 600 marks, while zoo, 600 acres of arabic
land and pasture ground were inundated by
the overflow of the Oder. In the neighborhood
of Oppell, 5000 acres of potato farms are COW
cred with water, and whole clumps of villages
are isolated. The rain was so violent that In q
few hours the river Nisse rose six feet. In Po-
sen an immense expanse of meadow is inunda-
but the straw also. 1t is feared
in some places the wetness of
the ground may be disastrously delay or al
together prevent its preparation for next years
seed. In the district of Kuhn, West Prussia,
twenty-four hours rain completely destroyed
the harvest, especially wheat. In some parts
of East and West Prussia fields are 30 impas-
sable it is impossible to gather what remains of
the grain. Potatoes are beginning to rot. It
will thus appear that the official estimate of
German harvest prospects recently published
most wholly destroyed and wheat and barley
have little surviving value in market. Ftr the
laboring portion of the community the loes of
the potato crop is the most serious and aid of
the government is already being earnestly in

A PLEASANT LETTER

From an English Gentleman who Visited
Mionesota Last Fall--.The Report of the
Royal Agricultural Commfssion---Eng-
1ish Harvest Prospects Early in August.
Readers of the GLOBE will remember that
last October Messrs. Pell and Reed, of the Brit.
ish royal agricultural commission, especially
agriculture, as to its behring's upon farming in
Great Britain and the food supply of that
country, after Thorough inspection of south
western Minnesota. northwestern Iowa, and the
adjoining counties of Dakota, returned home
most favorably impressed With that region rs
grain, grass, and stock raising country. As
these gentlemen have become acquainted with
quite number of Minnesotians. and as the
subject matter, SO far as it relates to English
harvests, is of general interest," the GLOBE
friendly letter of recent date, written by Glare
Sewell Reed, ESQ.,, one of the commissioners,
to Land Commissioner Drake, of the st. Paul
& Sioux City company. Mr.. Reed writes:
Your harvest, suppose, is by this time
half over. At any rate we have estimates of a
great yield in the States-as wo always have.
But still we know how to discount them or,
to give me an opinion of the yield in Minnesota
and the States generally (which is of vital mo-
ment to agriculturists of this country.
"Our report is at last printed and we have
had one examination of four hours from tho
Royal Agricultural Commissioner, and shall
have another grind on Thursday. Then hope
We have officially done with our report-but
not with America and the many kind friends
we made there, among whom you are the chief
That kindly feeling and warm interest will I
trust never be ended while we live.
I'VE have the prospect of good corn crop
in Norfolk, both wheat and barley being big
in growth and all developed. But we need
three weeks of dry, hot weather, to mature
grain. and don't see any signs Of it at pres
ent. just when the weather appears settled
comes a telegram from the New York Herald
stating that in few days we will have a dis
tur5ance, and it is sure to come to some point
in the old country. DO, in pity, send us some
comforting messages, for we really believe we
are in for our sixth bad harvest, and therefore
may expect seven years of home grown deartb,
as in the days of Joseph.
"Any scrap of American news (barring DR..
Tanner, of whom we have more than enough,)
would be most interesting to Pell and myself"

Shc,,,an Smoked Out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia Garfield and Ar
thur ratification meeting, presided over by
Hon. A. NJ. Clapp, was held here tonight.
Secretary Sherman said that the magnificent
audience before him WIS more telling than any
thing he could say would be. No portion of
the people of the United States are more deep
ly interested in the election of the Republican
President than are the people of
Washington. After referring to
the growth. prosperity and vast
Improvements in this city under Republican
rule, he said the same clements of material
prosperity that have marked the growth of
Washington have extended from ocean to
ocean. He wanted, he said to bring out the
strongly marked contrast between the Repub.
lican and Democratic parties. The
Republican party is national
party. 1t loves the whole country. 1t loves
every man, woman and child in it, whatever is
the color Of his skin. 1t is the Democratic
party which seeks to degrade. There is a great
distinction between the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties. Ours is the national party,
with hearts broad enough to cover all the coun-
We would make a national government.
They would make a confederacy
of States. Wheu this country was in danger
and rebels sought to break up this union of
ours, the Republican party to a man rallied
around the flag, There were no Republicans in
the rebel army; no, not one. How marked is
the contrast. There was not Democrat in the
South who did not go into the rebel army, and
the Democrats of the North sympathized with
them.
When the question of honest money arose,
it was the Republican party which protected
the interests of the nation. The Democratic
party had shinplasters by State banks. They
wouldn't have national money because they
said anything which was national was uncon-
stitutional. The Republican party gave the
country national money, and now that nation
al money is as good as gold. Our bonds are
worth more than any other country with tho
possible exception of Great Britain.
The heart of the Republican party beats for
liberty, for national honor and national glory.
The Democratic party is in favor of States
rights, opposed to everything national and IN
favor of State banks and everything bad.
Referring to the Republican candidate for the
Presidency Secretary Sherman said he had
known him for over twenty years. He sprang
from the people. He was educated in hard
school, and step by step he had pushed on
ward until he now occupies
a place of the greatest distinction.
lie was an honest, brave and efficient soldier
and, what was better than all, true Republi-
can. Passing on to General Hancock the
speaker referred to his education at public ex-
pense and said he had been
fed at public expense. He was a good
military man, and if he would desert the Dem
ocratic party, against which he has fought for
four years, the Republicans would elect him
fo some respectahle Office

lsnecial Telegram to the Globe. !

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-It was late last night
when the award of the judges in the competi-
tive drill were announced, and there was gen.
eral dissatisfaction all along the line. 1t was
the unanimous opinion that Damascus Com
mandery was entitled to the third or second
prize Eally this morning protest against
the decision was entered by the Eminent Com
manders of Monroe, Damascus and Bayard.
The first was by Monroe, on the fact that the
TACTICS HAD BEEN CHANGED
and the movements given to communicates at
o'clock yesterday morning without giving
time for preliminary drill. Damas-
Gus protested on the same groune,
and also because Dayton, though
having twenty-four swords instead of thirty
six, the regulation number, was admitted TO
compete while Bayard with an equal number
was excluded. Bayard protested because
though the youngest commandery on the
grounds, they were not permitted to enter with
SO per cent. of the entire membership, while
Dayton with less corps, was allowed to win
The third prize and also because after judges
had decided upon programme it should have
been addressed to. The Sir Knights of

all last night and to-day till the protestants
against the decision were summoned to appear

this evening the eminent commander

Judges and the result is that Damascus re-
turned 70 the Sherman
BEARING THIRD PRIZE,
consisting of fifteen jewels for subordinate
commanderies. enclosed in an elegant velvet
case lined with blue silk. The verdict of every
body competent to Judge is that Damascus
ought to have had second prize, but the Sir
knights are well pleased to let it
90 as it is. To-day Damascus headquarters has
been visited by Apollo of Chicago, Orien-
tai of Cleveland, and delegations from many
other local and visiting communicates, all of
whom were Hospitality entertained. Tonight
the commandery is returning the visits receiv-
ed during the stay, accompanied by the full
Great Western band. The knights start home
on special train at $3.50 tomorrow. Bayard
accompany them. The Minneapolis knights
left at 1880 tonight on q special train. Though
there has been bad management on the part of
the home communicates Damascus has little
to complain of. They had the best headquar-
ters in the city and were treated with every
consideration, All will remember the con-
clave with feelings of pleasure. Tne boys re-
turn with the record of being the third COM
mandery in over three hundred. and that's
elegant enough for one week for the frontier
city of st. Paul.
