CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The furry and excite
ment in the alley yesterday testified to the
deal, and was the cause of great deal of
talk. 1t was thought early in the day that
the offerings of cash wheat would be much
larger than they were, but up to delivering
time the clique had only taken in about
100000 bushels of wheat, for which about
S1.O615 was paid. and this was turned
over to shorts on settlement by the clique
at S1.07. Thus they came out
about even. The total tenders
of wheat for Friday and Saturday
were set at about 100000 bushels. The
deal ended yesterday, as it was the last day
of the month, though shorts have until
Monday at II o'clock to settle on Septem-
Der contracts.
1t was currently reported that there was
short line Of over 100000 bushels out,
but two reliable gentlemen who are con-
versant with the deal gave as their opinion
last night to GLOBE reporter that there
was hardly 100000 bushels short yester-
day, and they thought that there was not
over 100000 bushels defaulted upon last
night, and that this would nearly
all be Strengthened out to-mor-
row. The clique are not supposed
to have made any very great money cut of
the deal. They had to buy in so much
cash at $1.O7 bushel and a good deal of
which they will carry over. Cash wheat
will hardly be worth 81 bushel to-mor-
row night. 1t was a corner that seemed
to be carried for glory by Mr.. McGeoch.
There is little doubt that some arbitration
may result from the corner, but it is not "a
certainty by any manner of means. Mem
bers of the board, who were interviewed
yesterday, thought that another defaulting
and its attendant appeal for a committee,
grievous injury to the Chicago board of
trade. There is feeling that a vote
calling for repeal of the rule designated
by all as the corner rule" will be made
this week.
The McGeoch crowd have about run the
Chicago markets, they assert, ever since
the starting in of the April deal last
spring, and they must be put down in
some way. Deliveries wore heavy yester-
day, and the highest price made for Sep
TENDER wheat by the clique was $1.O8. The
deal was commenced about six weeks ago,
when September wheat was selling at
about 81 cents q bushel, and there was at
one time line Of goodmany million
bushels Of short wheat out for that month.
but it was mainly settled. The deal has
been engineered in the Office Of McGeoch,
Everingham & Co., but the principals are
not known certainly. Full particulars have
been published from time to time, and II
was recognized as ''osrner' right along.
The matter has ended nov, however, with
out its memory is psrPetuatad in COM
mittee to fix settling prioe for the shorts.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-NoGeoch has car
ried his wheat corner to q moro successful
close than it was believed possible after
the big break, but not 80 much 80 as he
evidently expected before that time. The
pressure to break him down has been very
strong. Yesterday he had to take over
p half million bushels at $1.O5A@1.O6 to
keep up prices, and to-day he has had to
do equally heavy buying besides having
delivered to him any quantity from his
shorts. He has shouldered what will
prove clear loss of $4,000 day in this
way, and certainly must have out an
enormous line of shorts to compensate
him for the loss on his cash wheat. It is
calculated he has from 100000 to TO-
100000 bushels bought at an average of ST..
He will probably get out "a little ahead al

New YORK, Sept. 3O-The bulls argued
an easier state of things from the assist
ance recently lent to the money market by
Mr.. Folger and the return of easier rates
for loans, such as to per cent. Some
of thogossips asserted that there was a
liquidation of the recent very high-priced
stocks going On, and that everything else
was weak and lettering in sympathy.
The Gould and Vanderbilt specialties
have been strong. Some think that the
market would harden if left to itself, but
a successful attack on Erie & Lake Shore
would probably demoralize tho market.
The bears assert that such an attack will be
made; that Mr.. Gould is net really for an
advance, and that he is not unlikely to
bring about a further decline. All the
bulls have to say is that the market only
goes about 50 long one way without reac-
tions. It is nearly time fer a reaction
even if no permanent improvement is eff
footed. It is said again to-day that Mr..
Gould is gradually getting ready for an
advance. He is quoted as saying that the
market would be in shape to bull by and
BY. It was not worth while to buy imme-
diately, but there would be a good
advance this fall. Gould's brok-
ers think the immediate future
will bring lower prices fer Denver, Louis
vile, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, and
Lackawanna. Some of them intimate that
Mr.. Gould is supporting Lake Shore, and
that drop in that stock may be expected,
but this view does not generally prevail.
The selling of Denver was attributed to
Mr.. Gould, using, perhaps, traders and
German brokers. A member of the Gould
party is known to have been short of Den
yer for some time. The decline in Louis
vile has been accompanied by q choice as
sortmsnt of rumors in regard 10 the COM
pany's indebtedness. The bear runners
that the company proposes t. soon issue
new stock in order TO secure the Chicago &
Aastsrn Illinois railroad, and that ii has q
large amount of interest due on Monday
which it is unable to meet, have been as
serted a. facts. The first story has already
been denied. Az 70 the latter
it is said that the company has only i've
per cont. on $4,000, 900, OF $3.50, eOo,to pay
out instead Of $1,000 $50 and IL not in
need Of money. There is still q consider
able short interest in the stoek, but it is
pretty generally agreed that number Of
traders have changed from short to long
this morning, believing that tho decline
will not last. II 10 quite possible that the
sAairs Of the company may look
much better whom line Of
shorts yet outstanding has been covered.

tered and literally cleaned out. The
thieves secured 1,5OO cigars, two cases of

appear to have taken wheelbarrow, and
loaded it up and wheeled it back and forth
to wagon until they had exhausted tho
stock, when they moved off to SGT up in
business for themselves. A handful of ci-
CARS and bottle of whisky was all they left.

dwelling of a Monument to the Memory
of THE Distinguished Patriot and Orator.
ST. louis, Oct. IAN event of much in
seress to the Germans of this city and
throughout he country took place at Benz
ton park this afternoon in the unwilling of
beautiful monument erected to the mem
DRY Of Frederick Hecker, the German pa
trio* and Union soldier. A procession
formed between two and three o'clock and
marched from Central Turner hall,
Tenth and Market streets to
the park. This was divided
into five sections, each headed by band
and separate marshals and aids, and was
composed of all the Turnverein and sing
ing societies of the city, the st. Louis
sharpshooters and Turner's from East St.
Louis and Bel1eville, Ills, and other neigh
boring towns, veterans who served under
Hecker during the war, several comrades
who wers with him in the German
revolution of 184S, and members of
Hecker's family and friends
and noted individuals in carriages. Among
the latter were ex-Gov. Koener and Gen.
Kueffner, candidate for Congress in the
Eighteenth Illinois district, the president
OF the North American Turner bund, and
delegation from Chicago. The process
sion attracted a good deal of attention,
and the streets along the line of march
were crowded with people. There was also
great crowd at the park, fully 5000 peo-
pie being present. All took deep inter
est in the proceedings. The exercises
there consisted of a brief address by Emil
Praetorius, editor of the Westliche Post. an
Grafton in German by Or. Carl LnedkiHa,
another in English by Judge Reasle Rom
fauer, and songs and instrumental music.
The monument was unveiled by Miss
Hecker, grand daughter of the dead hero.
The shaft is SO feet high, obelisk in
shape and of unpublished granite. The in
termediate piece has on the reverse por-
trait of Hecker in has relief; on the re-
verse an oak wreath; on the east side,
Europe 1885," and on the vest side
america 1861" The base haS laurel
wreath and mouldings, and is partly po-
ished. The whole has fine appearance
and was erected by subscription from
friends of Hecker in different parts of the
country. Col. Hecker was well-known
in Europe as an active participant in
the political troubles in Germany in 1848,
for which he was obliged to flee the coun-
try. In this country he was known as an
ardent Union soldier. an active Republican
politician, strong writer on philosophical
and scientific subjects, and was universally
beloved by his countrymen for his broad
and liberal views, and liberal and gener-
GUS traits of character.
