might arrest the outward movement of grain
and provisions has thus far been prevented
In cotton, on the other hand, the present
scarcity rules the price in spite of bright
prospects as to the coming crop.
The effect of heavy bond purchases by
the treasury has been great in the stock
market and is now felt in much better de-
mand for commercial paper, while the pre-
vailing opinion in the street is that all dan
ger of monetary stringency is over for the
year. The reports from other cities are un-
usually satisfactory, indicating at every
point either improvement or continuance of
trade has been greatest. At Chicago sales
and collections are up to the average, and
the supply of money is ample for the de-
mand, though there is slight tendency to
hold off for better rates. At Omaha and St
Paul q heavy business continues, and at
Kansas City there is an increase. with money
at all these points in fair supply, and collec-
tons fair.
Attempt to hoist wheat on extravagant
estimates of the European deficiency and
demand has not been success, and the
price has declined IL cents for the week
with sales of only 100000 bushels.
That Europe will want more wheat than 1t
has great deal more to sell. Corn also fell
one cent with sales of 1000, 900 bushels, and
the continued exports, reaching 100000
bushels for the four weeks of August, have
an important bearing on the probable price
of wheat Oats were also shade lower and
oil declined 11s cents with small transac-
tons.
Sugar has gone still lower, but at the de-
cline some increased demand appears.
Pork has been steady and hogs higher,
while the spectators in coffee have realized
the price of 1914 cents.
The cash holdings of the treasury have
been reduced over S15, 000, 900 since week
ago. The effect upon stocks has been an
advance of $2.15 per share in the price of a
dozen active securities and moderate adj
vance in the rest of the list. with the failure
of one operator on the wrong side of the
speculation. Both the imports and exports

SENATORIAL INVESTIGATION.

Ex-Oov. Click Examined.
KANSAS CITY, September 1.-THE dressed
beef senatorial investigation has been in
session here.
The examination of two witnesses occu-
pied a morning session. They were Geo.
w. Click, of Atchison, ex-governor of Kan
sas, and Chas. burst, of Atchison. Both
were willing witnesses and had all manner
of charges to make against the packers
combine.
The ex-governor of Kansas testified first.
He had been in the cattle-raising business
for thirty years, during which time the
prices of cattle had deprecated 80 or 40
per cent. The cause for this, the witness
said, was the establishment in Kansas of q
great packing interest, which had developed
first great competition among the sellers
of cattle, and afterwards a combination
among the packers which was so powerful
that its members could buy cattle at their

workings of this combinationT Senator
Vest put the question.

here at the market price. The packers

high, and assured me that if did not want
to sell at their price I could re-ship my cat
tie and send them to Chicago. did that
several times end found each time that the
Armour Morris-Swi combination con-
trolled that end of the route, too. was
forced in the end, to sell at their price"
The witness, testifying further. asserted
that the effect of the depreciation in prices
of cattle had been to drive many of the cattle
raisers of Kansas out of the business alto
gether. The packers also controlled rates
on the railroads to an extent. and the pack
ers of Kansas City had almost ruined the
butchers business of Atchison, and would
have done so entirely had not the city
council passed and enforced q city ordi-
nance requiring the inspection of beef on
the hoof. Before that ordinance went into
effect the packer would buy his cattle in
Atchlson, ship them to Kansas City, work
them into dressed beef, re-ship the latter
product 10 Atchison, and sell it cheaper than
