Keys, the lowest bidders, for the
gross sum of $4,000 year.
Under the government the .cost was
$63, 900. The men sought to haye the contract
set aside, but failed. Early in the day the
streets adjacent to the stores were crowded
with impatient, swearing cartmen and truck
men, waiting for goods to take away. AS the
ployes who quit, the engines were not work
ing and the business of the stores was brought
TO standstill. At 1 o'clock but fourteen
men were on hand at the stores under

stantly dispatching messengers to learn
the probability of getting their
goods out to-day, while the streets were
being blockaded with trucks and cars wait

were sent the secretary of the treasury, who
asked what could be done under the circum-

submitted proposition that the men go to

diately waited on the deputy collector and in
formed him they were willing to work on the
old footing, but declined, without qualifca

MISSISSIPPI BAKGE LINE

Consolidation Of the Rival Interests. with
Much Larger Capital and Greater Garry.
ing Capacity Gould the Controlling
Spirit.
ST. Louis, Aug. 15.-It is reported from
New York this afternoon that the two princi-
pal barge lines plying between this city and
New Orleans, known as the Mississippi val
lev and the st. Louis q New Orleans Trans
pOrtation Co. line have been consolidated, and
that new company will be organized
under the name of the Mississippi Barge line.
The combined capital OF old lines
was 81, 500, 600 with carrying capacity Of
S,75O,OOO bush els of bulk grain, besides pack
age freight. The new company will have
capital or 5000. 900, the addition Of 81 ,200,-
600 to be expended in.the construction of new
tow boats and barges. When these arc
completed the company will own
thirteen powerful tugs and 149 bargest
having = capacity of over 100000
bushels. It's thought that Henry O. Hoor
stick, who has for many years been the active
manager of the Mississippi Valley line, aud
its principal owner, will be president of the
new company, but the Gould interest will
largely preponderate in it.

THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE.
As II Casts its Light on the Chicago
Markets.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
CHICAGO, Aug. ID. The cables to-day were
frmer. Weather pleasant. Wheat opened
frm, but reports of the critical condition oi
the President caused more sellers and the
market declined quickly. The market was
very unsettled and operators nervous and
prices uncertain. The same applies to all
grain and provisions. There is chance fol
q sharp break in everything. 81
Curb prices: September wheat 81. 10; corr
cox c; oats 800; pork $l7.90; lard $11.b5.
SEASON OF WILD EXCITEMENT,
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-There was wild excite
ment on Change at the opening hour thli
morning. which has continued unabated until
this hour (noon). 1t was believed that the re-
ports of rain in the Western States would
have sent the markets down, but they had no
effect. and prices started with an advance
which has progressed almost without break,
and every article has shared in the rise. Sep
tember wheat opened at $l.20X; October corn
at 69x c; se ptember oats at S5Hc; September
pork at $l7.s71S; and September lard at $11.-
66K. at this time prices are jumping rapidly
and wheat is selling at $l.30K for
cash and August, and $1.20X for October.
Corn is most active and excited, having sold
up to COX for August, 62X for October, and
62X for November. Oats sold at SO for Sep
tember; pork at SIT 05 for September, ,and lard
$1l.72H. Except wheat, in the articles named,
there is fractional reaction at this moment,
but the tendency is very strong.
Wheat excitement rose higher up to noon,
but the reports from Washington of the unfa'
vorable condition of the President had very
depressing effect and prices declining $l.30
cash and $1.19, September x bid, October l6H,
year sales, $l.4Sx, and $l.20x September.
Corn went like wheat, but the fluctuations
were greater and the same influence caused a
depression. d
NO FAILURES, BUT BADLY STRAINED.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The unusual excite
ment on change which characterized the ear
ly part of the day became gradually less in the
afternoon, and on call, although active, prices
were as a rule much weaker toward the close.
Amidst all the excitement there were no fail
ures, SO far as known tonight, but the calling
in of margins strained few firms, and great
advance or break would undoubtedly shake
out few of the weaker dealers. The sales
have been very heavy for the last two days,
to-day's trading being estimated at thirty mill
lion bushels Of grain. The fluctuations on
call were not great, but the sales were large,
about three and half million bushels. Pro-
visions have been active and unsettled through
out the day, but without wide fluctuations.

Started with the morning bulletin which was
considered very unfavorable. The midday
bulletin instead of reasuring the people in
creased the uneasiness, and the night bulletin
made matters still worse. Everybody wanted
to find out what the surgeons thought
of the case and what hopes they had
but this was rather difficult
as the surgeons kept themselves out of sight.
This added to the alarm, and at night the
whole population was on the streets going to
| their homes and the White house. The sur
geens remained close by him, and the grounds
at the White house were thronged, but little
could be learned that could be called definite.
Those who had access to the President would
say but little. Col. Corbin said the
SITUATION WAS CRITICAL.
| Attorney General MacVeagh told Senator
Pugh, Of Alabama, that it was useless to
deny that the case was as critical as could be.
Ex-Sherif Daggett, of Brooklyn, who has
access to the personal attendants
of the Presidant, said it was as bad as
could be. All these tended to increase
the alarm but gave no satisfaction as to the
state of the case. 1t was plain all day that the
surgeons were alarmed. There was no con
cealing that fact. Various rumors were
afoat and could be heard at every turn to
night. About O'Clock the Western Associ
