price of creamery was advanced Nc per
pound. The advance will be due here on
Friday. All choice grades of creamery but
ter are in light supply in this market, and
there is little doubt that prices will soon
find higher level. Ohio cheese is also in
short supply and manifests an upward
tendency. Eggs are weak and slow, and our
quotations are reduced in accordance with
facts. Everything in the line of farm and
garden products is coming in in quantities,
beyond the power OF our markets to absorb,
and the buyer has the field. Quality of
watermelons and can ntaloupes arriving of
late shows a decided improvement over
earlier receipts. Ann Arundel melons have
put in their first appearance within few
days. Tropical fruits of all kinds go slow
because of the over-supply of home raised
fruit.

HOME SECURITIES.
ANOTHER DAY ON CHANGE WITHOUT
SPECIAL INCIDENT.

A Light Movement, With No Material
Changes in Quotations-Stocks More
Valuable Than They Appear-Waiting
on the Public-Points in Bonds.
There were six sales of local stocks yes
terday, footing up 100 shares, contributed by
Airbrake, Luster and Hidalgo. Outside
markets were erratic, bobbing up and down
without apparent cause, other than that
furnished by the ebb and flow of demand.
On the local board there was no pro-
nounced sentiment to show how brokers eX-
pect the cat to jump. Conditions are all
right for lively whirl in a month or six
weeks, but the apathy of the public is so
pronounced as to cause apprehensions of a
prolongation of the dull season beyond the
usual time for rally from the summer
slump
There were a few price changes yesterday,
but none of much Significance. There were
orders for Philadelphia Gas, which caused
the stock to finish "a better than the open
ing. Pleasant Valley was trifle stronger,
but the rest of this group were dull and fea-
tureless. Luster improved fraction. Elec-
trio was neglected. The rest of the list was
practically unchanged.
Stocks are intrinsically more valuable
than quotations indicate. In fact, they are
in better shape than six months ago. A
number of weak spots have been strength
ened within that time. Dizziness and weak
ness go hand in hand. This is shown by
INC quich ieCoNolieo Mueios oi eho pressure
is removed, denoting that the drag is due to
the apathy of buyers, and not to anything
connected with the stocks.
In regard to bonds an expert says: "In-
vestors have q wide choice now if they want
to pick up bonds which at current prices dis
count any trouble likely to happen to the
properties they are secured upon. This is
an opportunity for the investor who has the
nerve to buy in bad times, which the ma
jority of buyers never have. 1t is always
the few who pick up the bargains"
Sales on call yesterday were:
First call-50 Airbrake at l001%.
Second Gallo Luster at 1917.
Third call-lOO Hidalgo at 5as, 10 Philadel-
phia Gas at 1l5s, 20 Luster at 1917.
Bids and asking prices at each call are ap-
pended.

FOURTEEN WERE KILLED.
Bell Punchers Are Attacked by a Big Crowd
of Louisiana Toughs.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.-The latest dispatch
from Lake Charles states that everything is
quiet, but the shooting at Lockmoore on
Sunday was even worse than at first re-
ported. 1t seems that a crowd of toughs,
calling themselves ''To-day's Gang" en-
ployed by the company, have been at en-
nifty with the native employees, nicknamed
the BELL Punchers' for some months. On
Sunday morning the former armed them
selves and deliberately shot down all the
BELL Punchers' they could find. A wounded
man who left the scene yesterday states that
IA men were killed and two more were miss
ing.
Another account of the riot is to the effect
that it was the brea king out of an old feud
between band of robbers, known as the
Worth Gang" and the cattlemen of that
section. The former had been committing
depredatiOns upon the community for quite
a time. They had been notified by the
ranchmen to desist and leave the country,
but they continued their proceedings until
the fight began. The "Redbones" are the
leaders of the cattlemen. A man named
Welsh, it is said, led the gang of toughs, and
killed three men in less than a minutes
time This report increases the number of
wounded to 16. The Coroner has gone to the
scene, and an investigation is in progress.

WHEAT FLUCTUATES.
Tho Market Was First Weak and Then 1t
Strengthened-It Was Governed by
Outside Ads ices, Which Were Contradic-
tory During the Entire Day.

Outside Ads ices, Which Were Contradic-
tory During the Entire Day.
CHICAGO-The wheat market was strong
and weak by turns to-day, and the close WAS
about &c lower than yesterday. The
market was chiefly governed by outside ad-
vices, and as these were more or less con-
Trajectory the market was kept see-saw ing
Around the opening Paris was quoted strong
and advancing: later, it was said to be weak
and lower. Liverpool, which had been enjoy
inga couple of holidays, was quoted SIX pence
higher, and then it was said that BUYERS
were holding of. There was a suspicion
that the reports were being manipulated
All the private advices were weak. but the
Board of Trades cable quoted Paris 35 cent
lines higher. Antwerp Psf continues higher,
and Berlin marks higher on August Clark
wired from New York that his closing Liver
pool cable was u penny higher.
New York telegraphed that the amount of
wheat on passage showed an increase of
IOOO, 900 busnels, but some traders contended
that the official statement would not appear
till tomorrow. New York opened higher
but was soon reported to be selling. Then
the ticker report said that local receipts
were five cars over the estimates, but later
corrected it to 60 cars under. Altogether
the news of the day was badly muddled.
The early action of the market indicated
that IL was bulled by parties who were long
of December around 92c, and that they were
making n market to sell on, for as soon as,
had sold up to that figure from 9Ilzc at the
opening, the longs began to let go their hold
ings freely. The advance was rapid and ac-
companied by considerable excitement The
decline was just as rapid, a number of heavy
traders offering with freedom.
Logan, Counselman and Day, Schwartz
DuDee ard Others were feeding the crowd
with all they wanted, the selling being un-
derstood 20 be for New York and New York
accounts.
December dropped under this load, then it
rallied to 9li4c, but broke again, this time to
eOI1c. advanced to 9l14c, ruled quiet during
the last hour operators being suspicious and
5e1Sildercd by the conflicting reports eased
of near the close and closed weak at 9,pszc
Corn was governed largely by the course
OF wheat: the opening was quiet at 576l57l<c
for September but when wheat made tile
spurt, became excited in sympathy and
September sold at 5756c. From this point
there was drop to 56c, but again rallied to
57szc, eased of, became dull and closed at
JGsac. Oats we're quiet and steady through
out the session, with fluctuations confined
TO 4 kc range for September.
The provision pit was also subjected to
contradictory reports The estimated re-
ceip.s OF hogs were Il, 900, and the reports as
