Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, August 1G.-For the last day
of dull week in wheat speculation trad
ing was weak. Everything favored low
prices and another downward drop Of &c
was witnessed before noon. So uniformly
depressing were surroundings that the
bears at last seemed to have courage of
their convictions and they went at the
market with a rush right from the start.
Decline was brought on by the unloading
of numerous lines OF long wheat, some of
which were pretty large and by dealers
who have been all along regarded as most
radical bulls Net loss for the day on
December was 94c and for the week of
11sc.
Corn was active and weak. Trading
was heavy and the volume Of business
larger than for many days past. The
weaker tone was attributed mainly to
large movements and break in the cash
market. Prices closed 35@Z lower than
yesterday.
Oats were active, weaker and lower than
for any time in ten years. The weakness
and decline was due TO continued free gen.
eral selling. Local for outside parties con-
tinued, especially for near futures, which
were depressed for large offerings of cash
property and decline Of 1c In the mar
ket for samples. Prices for futures de
clined 35@1sc and closed at about inside
figures.
There was active trade in pork with con-
siderable fluctuations in prices within a
narrow range. Prices declined Zoe during
the early part of the day but rallied SO
nc and closed comparatively steady.
Some interest was manifested in lard and
the feeling was easier. Prices declined
5@71sc and the market closed quiet at
medium figures.
A fairly active trade was reported in ribs
and the feeling was comparatively steady.
Early the market was weaker and prices
Teceded 2JS@5c but rallied slightly and
closed steady.

Congress adjourned March 4th.
The oklahoma bill'' did not become
a law as is supposed by some, but the
Indian Appropriation bill did pass
which contains some Of the provisions
of the Oklahoma bill, though none
that will authorize people to take
homesteads. According to the Kan
sas City Ne1cs:
Hon. John G. Tarsney was asked
his opinion of the present bill He
said: ''It cuts no figure. It may
open up a little land to town com
panies. The commission will have to
make a report before anything def
mite can be done"
Col. Andrew Snider was asked this
morning how the Oklahoma bill as
passed would effect the cattle men.
1T will have no effect at all on the
cattle men, he said. 1T will open a
part of the territory to town site com
panles. They can locate wherever
they want to and purchase $50 acres
of land. It will do the hOmesteaders
no good and was passed only for the
| benefit of the town site companies
OF course the commission can be APP
pointed, go ahead and treat with the
Indians, and report the result to the
next congress. That's all that can be
done"
Senator Plumb opposed the Okla
homa bill. He said:
''The whole trouble about Ollaho-
ma has been got up for Interior pur-
poses. It had been a contest against
the settlers by persons who wanted
to speculate IN town sites. That was
the trouble all the time There were
two opposing movements in the mat
ter, one IN the interest of the settlers:
the other in the interest of town site
spectators. It was town site money
that secured newspaper articles, that
paid travelling expenses, and that kept
people in Washington hotels NegO-
tiations, he said, had to precede ac-
QUESTION, and acquisition had to pre-
cede settlement His belief was that
the lands would be got quicker, easier
and more in accord with national
honor by negotiation for the cession
| of whatever rights the Indians had
