Rumor says that 100000 mining
sale has recently been made near Green
wood. The property reported sold is
known as the Smoots group Of mines,
which are said to be very valuable in
gold. and a number Of the most wealthy
officials of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad company are said to be the
purchasers A mill is to be placed on
the property at once. We sincerely
hope that this rumor may prove to be
true, and that the property may develop
into a leading producer

WISE Men Differ.

Considerable anxiety is manifested of
late upon the matter Of the extension of
the railroad north Of Rapid City, and
Notwithstanding all sources of informa-
ton in this direction have been ex-
hausted, nothing definite has yet been
ascertained. Speculation upon the SUBJ
ject is rife, however, and newspaper
editors in the Hills seems positive in all
directions. 1t is amusing to note how
widely they differ in opinions based
upon the writing on the wall" We
qnote from two of the Hills journals,
both of which are doubtless well up on
the subject:
"Tbe road will undoubtedly be COM
pleted to Rapid City at once, where it
will rest for several years. Rapid City
Republican.
"If doubt has heretofore existed that
the company intended to push north of
Rapid this season. it should be dis
missed, for while corporations do not
placard their intentions, it is impossible
TO entirely conceal them. Railroad
companies operate much like individu-
ais, with definite plans, and upon busi-
ness principles not altogether devoid of
selfishness. In the absence OF positive
information we must determine their
object, by purely business methods.
We must ask ourselves what we would
do under similar circumstances. In this
instance, what would the shrewd bnsi-
pass man do waro ha tho aut hor;ty of
the Northwestern railroad company

mine, resource. industry and market of
value in the Hills, or push on to the

NEW YORK, July 16-The stock market
opened higher all around to-day on the tenn
porary settlement of the Granger rate war
The most notable advance was in the
Granger securities, but the whole market
sympathized in the improved feeling. A good
many operators, however, do not believe that
the temporary agreement improved the con-
dition of affairs sufficient to afford reason for
any considerable advance in prices In view
OF the bad crop reports from the Northwest,
many traders were of the opinion that the
Changers were high enough. On the advance
free selling of Northwest and st. Paul covered
fractional decline. Western Union, the coalers
and Erie were all strong, and the talk was that
these were to be the bull cards hereafter in
stead of the Changers. 1t said that the bull
pool in Erie was talking so for common and
corresponding advance in the other securities
of the road. 1t was learned from good source
that Erie was considering the project of leav-
ing the Chicago s. Atlantic road. The propo-
sition is to issue SIS, 900 Erie bonds to take
up the S6. 100000 of Chicago & Atlantic mort
gage bonds the remaining 100000 being
used to pay up old Erie debts to the Chicago &
Atlantic road. 1t was stated the Erie company
would guarantee per cent. interest on time
bonds the first year and per cent. thereafter
The feeling changed after the early dealing.
1t was thought that the bulge was caused in a
great measure by Cammack and his following
converting a large line of stocks. good deal
of realizing, especially in the Vanderbilts,
session. Lake Shore sold off 81 per cent, and
both Northwestern and St. Paul dropped l
per cent. Trading was light and very little
features of consequence were developed in
the market. The whole list closed easy at
about the lowest point Of the day.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 16.-Depression was
more or less pronounced feature in the
wheat market to-day and as consequence,
the direction taken by prices was some
what downward, but business was SO light
there was no inducement to any sudden or
decided movements. Heavy receipts here
and the same conditions prevailing at the
larger primary points made holders any
thing but stiff i'll their views. So lower
prices came very easy and naturally.
August ran down during the morning from
1889 to 7SAc, but recovered to 7SIc.
Fluctuations during the last hour and half
were confined 10 range of &c. The pit was
very dull, and around the floor little or
nothing was talked about. The recovery
from rs 3-6 to 7S$Ic was on a report that
five boat loads had been taken at New
York for export. Corn was a little less
strong than yesterday on reported rains in
the Southwest where previous damage by
drought is said to have been heavy. Sep
tember corn, which opened at zoe, sold for
this reason down to 3714c, but subsequently
improved a little. Provisions were q very
slow and featureless sort of a deal, the
principal option in pork only moving 10c,
and the general tendency being easier and
lower in sympathy with wheat. The close
all around was slow. Ream and st. Louis
seem in some way to have gotranged on the
same side of the market now. Both are
pitted against Cudahy and his following.
The latter is rather
AN EXTRAVAGANT BULL.
AS he puts himself: IF everybody was
as much OF a bull in wheat as [ am, wheat
ha .nlliY Of I,nI DIT
Cudahy, like Ream. is scalping the market
to cheaper his wheat selling when it is up
and buying when it is down. Cudahy is
scalping for an advance, Ream seems to be
heading as if he believed that the market,
with its vcisSitudeS, was tending generally
down. The receipts of wheat here to-day
were comparatively very large-155 cars.
They have not reached this figure before
except on Tuesdays, when the
accommodations of Sunday and Monday
make the figures large. At St. Louis
too, there were 21O, 900 bushels of new Win
ter wheat. 1t is now considered certain
that the next visible will show an increase.
The very large exports of wheat from New
York a little tirmed up the pit after the first
bad slump. The sellers of puts also tried
to support the market, but found it no easy
task. The putt price was passed by noon.
The talk on the curb was that the visible
supply of wheat next Monday would show
1900, 900 bushels increase. This kind of
gossip made the feeling bearish. The curb
this afternoon was 1880. Puts On August
sold from Use to 7755c, calls roc.
