A GLUM OUTLOOK ON CHANGE.
All Cereals and Provisions Much Lower
Those Who Had Loaded Up on Wheat
Make a Rush to Dispose of It-Move-

Make Rush to Dispose of It-Move-
ments ofthe Corn Clique.
CHICAGO-wheat was weak all day and
closed &c lower than it did yesterday. The
early news was bearish, and the cereal
seemed to have no friends. During the
bulge yesterday many traders got loaded
with wheat and they lost no time this morn
ing in trying to dispose of it,
Cables brought no encouragement to
holders, and With the domestic market gen.
orally lower the receipts liberal and little in
the way of bull news, the decline was easy.
The selling was general and rather aggres-
sive with the demand slack and mostly con-
fined to the covering of shorts on the break.
A small-sized war rumor was thrown into
the pit, but produced very little effect. The
clearances from both coasts for the week
sh ow marked filling off and the exports
from the three points yesterday foot up only
635 COO bushels.
December opened at 973z@9s1Sc, broke to

last hour, under the continued pressure of
sales. reached to 953lc, back to 9616c, at
which it closed, against 9S11sc yesterday.
The corn clique was not actively trading
in that article to-day, and the market, freed
from its in Interference, was weak and consid-
erably lower. 1t had a succession of slumps,
and although there were some reactions the
declines continued to reach lower level as
the session progressed. From 5619c October
got down to 5354c, and the close was nc
higher, but &c lower than yesterdays close.
There was a moderate trade in oats within
a range of u cent, closing at the bottom
figure and 546 cents lower than yesterday.
The provision market was from firm to
strong for time near the opening, but
changed to decided weakness later in the
day. Pork and ribs suffered more in prices
than lard, which was upheld for some time
by the reported sale yesterday for export of
between 5000 and 10 900 tierces. The failure
of the frost to do injury to corn was a weak
ening factor in hog products. The packers
sold freely of pork and ribs, and moderately
of lard also. The close was at or near the
lowest prices of the day,

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The stock market this
morning opened with a confident feeling and
with prices generally small fractions better
than those of last evening, but there was an
other batch of rumors touching the condi-
tion of Richmond and West Point, and the
assertion that receiver is inevitable was
louder than ever Naturally, as an accom-

at the outset. and the common stock fell

while there was some selling for Western

brought in some new buying for the long

the list rather sharply after II O'Clock.

not fully maintained, however. and the final
changes are insignificant in almost all OF the
active stocks. The close was firm at slight
concessions from the best figures. Richmond

OF THE WEEK ON THE
LOCAL EXCHANGE.

Investors Still Hating Between Two opin-
ions-ANar Market and Few Changes
Gains and Losses About q of-The
Situation Briefly Reviewed.
Last week was dull one in local specula-
tive circles, total sales on call falling under
1000 shares. There were none yesterday.
Brokers were even careless about quota
tions, and the number put on the board was
away below the Saturday average. Office
business was light also. There was talk of
some big deals, but they did not materialize.
Final prices as compared with those of the
previous Saturday show the following
changes: Wheeling Gas gained Il, Central
Traction. q: Pleasant Valley, n; Luster, "A.
Philadelphia Gas lost "a, Citizens Traction,
s; Electric, ss; Switch and Signal, ~ Air

There were no changes in actual condi-
tions, and the rumor mill turned out nothing

cussed to some extent without letting in any
new light in regard to earnings or prospects.
several new wells and occupied stronger
position.
The following from recognized authority
on stocks appears to fairly state the situa-
tion as the week left it: "The reactionists
are evidently doing their best to stem a tide
which day after day proves its strength to
be overwhelming. There is no lack of en-
deavor to set the current in the opposite di-
rection from that in which it naturally flows
but the constant failure attendant upon such
efforts shows the uselessness of all attempts
to resist influences whose tendency is to
array the financial world against the feeble
work of manipulators."

pended:

An Indians Gratitude.

Col. Breeder. late Attorney General
of New Mexico. was once retained to
defend Mexican and Navajo Indian
charged with the murder of soldier
on a street in Santa Fe one night.
Two Mexican women testified that
they witnessed the murder and thought
they could identify the prisoners as
the persons who committed it. But
other evidence favored the accused and
the court and jury thought the women
were mistaken. Some time after the
acquittal the Navajo turned up, in the
seventh heaven of intoxication, and
sought out Breeder. In his expansive
gratitude be told the attorney that,
although moneyless, as usual, he
wanted to perform some great service
in part payment of the debt he owed
him for securing his acquittal.
Come to my house." said the attor-
ney, land try your hand on my gar
den."
But" said the Navajo, give me
something harder than that to do

you want somebody killed. If you
do I'll serve him as we did the
soldier!"

The Farmers Signal of Ashland, O.,
reviewing an address lately delivered In
that city by Mrs. Diggs, quotes as fol-
lows:
'She further showed that the peoples
movement was simply an abandonment
among the people OF the old party pref
udices, and they went together to sup
port their own interests. which are iden-
tical, instead of continuing to quarrel
over dead issues. while Republican and
democratic leaders went right together
to take advantage of them. The late
democratic governor of Kansas was in
terested in ingalls, loan robbery OF
Frankfort, New York and Kansas.
tShe made telling point on a Kan
sas republican editor, who had taken a
tour through part IF the state. He
saw miles of corn cribs filled with the
beautiful golden gram as reported In
his editorials. She went over the same
road and saw the corn cribs also. But
she saw more. She saw the name OF
- Davis, Chicago, ILL.,, on the cribs.
The facts were, Davis was grain spec
ulstor, living in Chicago. He filed his
cribs with corn the farmers raised, and
paid them from II to 13 cents per BUSH
ell for it, On inquiry she learned that
the farmers could not buy any OF that
corn for use afterward for less than 80
cents per bushel The farmers had to
sell. and that Spectator Davis took ad-
vantage of their misfortunes.
"Her remedy for the existing evils
was the sub-treasury plan.
THAT the government build ware
houses in every county where grain can
be stored, and where the owner is press
ed for money to meet his obligations,
negotiable receipts shall be given the
depositor equal to 80 per cent OF the
