ing & Merriam. Fleming fed to Canada
when the postoffice department took no.
tice of the swindle, and Miller has been
hiding in the city. Dan Ray has been
looking out for him for some time, and ac-
cidentally ran across him in Judge Will
liamson's court listening to A. S. Trude's
speech in the Lehman libel suit. Miller
Is dapper-looking little man with neatly
trimmed sidewhiskers. He was accompa-
MED in court to-day by his friend Frank
Loring, and Billy Clapp furnished bond
of $4,000 for his appearance before the
grand jury Ex-Governor Shuman was
witness in the case, being called by
the government to prove that
the fattering notice from his
paper reproduced in Fleming & Miller's
circulars was not an editorial expression
of opinion, but paid advertisement. The
speculators were good deal amused at
the governors eagerness. to demonstrate
that the readers of his paper know the
difference between an editorial and a
reading notice by the peculiarly of cap
ton and the location of the latter"

On the board good speculative bust
ness was transacted in wheat, accompanied
with further advance in prices. The re-
ceipts were small and shipments light, but
there was a good demand from shorts,
while the offerings at the same time were
not large. This, together with the ad-
vance in provision circles, created firm
feeling and prices were advanced about
2@2Ic per bushel and closed at about the
outside prices reached. The advance just
before the close of change was rapid, with
but light offerings at the advancing scale
of prices. August touched $1.05 and
closed at $1.O4T bid, but on the curb dur
ing the afternoon sales were made at
$1.O44 d and the feeling was weaker. There
were fifty-four cars received to-day, $4,000
bushels shipped out, and vessel room char
tered to move as much more.
The -four market was unchanged. It
was reported that at Milwaukee to-day
5000 sacks of flour had been sold for ex-
port, 1000 sacks being spring extras at
$4.65. Lindblom is as bullish as ever
He says to-day: General confidence
has superseded general distrust,
and those who have been
advocating low prices for our main
articles of export may soon be at the end
of the other extreme. The very small re-
ceipts of wheat, making due allowance for
the late season, will soon convince the
trade that many glowing crop reports
! have some other basis except facts. When
inflated stocks have found their level the
necessity for glowing crop reports will
disappear. There is a healthy shipping
demand for wheat, and it IS to be hoped
that speculation will not anticipate ex-
porters too much. Local trading is en-
tirely free from manipulation, and the de-
mand is general"
In corn a good speculative and moderate
shipping business was transacted, and the
market was steady, prices being subject tc
only slight fluctuations within the given
range. The receipts continue free and the
shipments were smaller, but the local
provision market was stronger ant
foreign advices indicative of {
steadier and little better feeling. Tht
offerings to sell were not large, and al
though prices declined about $8@15c
below the closing figures on change yester.
terday, portion of this decline was sub
sequently recovered and the market finally
closed the same as yesterday for Angus
and sc higher for September than yester
day. No. . was in good request and CLOSED
at about 5218c. The inspections wer,
497 cars, the shipments 143, 600 bushels an(
! the charters 10000 bushels.
Oats were a tride stronger. The decline
of yesterday seemed to have brought on
more buyers, but the improvement coulC
also be attributed somewhat to bette
feeling in leading markets. The Offering

No. , cash oats were fair sale. They wer

Sales were made mainly at 1890. T Sam

when trade fell off and som
