CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 2.-On the whole the
range OF feeling developed to-day in Uhs wheat
market was weaker aid huctuatiug through
various causes The drought continues, although
1t IL cloudy nearly all over the winter wheat
country, but the indications were generally for
colder weather. This, together with higher
cables and report that the Russian govern
ment had prohibited the exports of all grain
except wheat, had the effect OF holding
the market pretty steady during the early part
OF the day. But speculative offerings were
quite heavy toward noon, larger than the de-
mRnd would absorb, and the result was share
break in prices A slight rally at the close

Russian prohibition and the fact that only TO

FOREIGN FINANCES.
ROthschilds to Assist in Floating the Russian

Rothschilds to Assist in Floating the Russian
Loan-Prices Advancing.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Chronicles Vi
emma correspondent says the Rothschilds'
clearinghouse has decided to relieve the
French syndicate which undertook to float
the last Russian loan. The Rothschilds
offer to take e5,00O,0OO worth Of the unsold
scrip.
The report that the Rothschilds have
finally concluded to assist In taking up the
Russian loan is not credited in the London
Stock Exchange, but the rumor has served
TO give a slight upward turn TO the foreign
bourses. Large quantities of Spanish and
Italian stocks were bought in London, and
this also bel ped other courses to rally from
their extreme depression. Nevertheless,
the markets are still extremely sensitive, but
the belief which obtains that the Roths-
chlds are as deeply involved in Brazilian
securities as the Barings were In the Argen-
tines gives operators ray of hope that the
strongest efforts will be made to sustain
prices and prevent disastrous decline.
The stock market closed finn. Prices i'm
proved on bear purchases. European stocks
opened weak, but afterward recovered. Ar.
gentine securities dropped half point.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 19-The Bourse
Gazette to-day publishes denial of the re-
port that the Government intends shortly to
Issue new 5-per-cent loan. The Bourse
Gazette states the Imperial Bank holds a
sufficient amount of gold to meet the
charges on the external loan for the next
four years.
BERLIN. Nov. 19.-The Bourse closed very
firm. The rise in foreign Government Sc
curlties ranged from u to A per cent. The
quotation for ronbles is strong.
PARIS, Nov. 19.-Russian securities closed

closed q per cent higher and Credit Fon-

THE MINING CONGRESS.
Discussion on the Coinage Of Silver.
Committees Appointed

DENVER, Nov. 19.-The session of the
Mining Congress was delayed in meeting
this morning through the tardiness of deles
gates in consequence of attending the drill
Ing con test last evening.
Butte, Mont, broke all the records in the
way OF double-handed drilling and defeat ed
the champions of Colorado. I
The Committee on Credentials reported
55e delegates present from thirty -one States
and Territories.
Niles Searls, ex-Chief Justice of Califor-
MIA, was recommended for permanent
Chairman. and It was decided to discuss a
number of subjects, among which was that
of the coinage of silver. The report was
adopted.
Judge Searls, in the course of his address
accepting the chairmanship, emphatically
lndorsed the unlimited coinage Of silver.
In the afternoon the congress appointed
one Vice-President from each State.
Chief Skiff of the Mining Bureau of the
Worlds Fair was given thirty minutes to
set forth the advantages of the Columbian
Exposition, and the necessity of the mining
States making an exhibit that would give
the world an idea OF the Importance OF the
industry.
Senator Wolcott, in brief speech, set at
rest all doubts as to his position on the sill
yer question. He hoped Congress would
shape into proper form such matters as re-
Qulre legislation, and in closing his remarks
said: No matter what may be the wishes
OF the majority of the party to which l be-
long, or its chief executive, and no matter
how much my course may remove me from
the sunlight of official patronage, until some
new light crosses my vision, which is not
yet dlmmed, | shall, SO long as | remain in
public life. vote for free and unlimited coin
age of silver" The au1ience rose and ap-
plauded Senator Wolcott until President
Searls raped for order.
T. X. Holden, as leader of the faction
demanding the coinage of the American.
product only, predicted disaster and ruin to
the banking and commercial system OF the
country If foreign nations were allowed to
unload their silver upon the United States
and receive gold in return. He asserted
that Mexico in another year would produce
more silver than this country, and that one
small district in Australia was preparing TO
produce more silver than Colorado
Charles S. Thomas of Colorado replied TO
these arguments, and boldly advocated free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
The congress then adjourned until to-
morrow. On the Committee Oh Resolutions
the Chairman appointed as members-at-
large Colonel c. c. Goodwin of Utah. ex-
Senator II. w. Tabor of Colorado, ex-Gov-
ernor Hauser of Montana. Robert MacKay
OF Canada and j. j. Mullaly of Missouri.
