of slight Importance. as Is evidenced by
the transactions, which reached only
about one-half of yesterdays small

tirely to the trading element in the

uneasiness. With the view of adding
to the uneasy feeling some stocks were
sold OH sellers options at prices los

even bonds were attacked. Despite all
this however, there was comparatively
little selling for the long account. Gener-

DULUTH. Aug. IT. Wheat ruled firm

excellent demand Tor shipping purposes.
All offerings or cash wheat were quickly
absorbed. September No. northern

Prices of wheat futures were below

The market opened weak on liberal
selling by shorts. Later the unusually
large shipments of flour and wheat to
Europe from the Atlantic ports caused
some buying and a small recovery,
which was later lost. Outside business
was light. 1t was claimed that one
cause of weakness was that some of the
Eastern banks were calling in loans on
wheat. The clearanceS were 1.024. 600

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Although wheat
is going out of the country at a rate
which if kept up will leave it scarce
article at home, the price is 1Sc lower
than last night. Reports of failures
East and West. more clearing house
certificates issued at New York, very
sick closing cables combined to depreSs
the market. Corn is a shade higher and
provisions are Irregular; lower for lard
and higher for ribs.
Wheat at the opening was about 10
&c lower than yesterdays closing,
ruled easy and prices further declined
4@56c, then became stronger and ad-
vanced 1c, again ruled weak, and this
time declined 5sc and the closing
was easy at }4@3sc from inside
due to the extreme dullness in
trade. the continued weakness in stocks
and the general feeling of unrest and
uncertainty in financial circles. There
was considerable wheat for sale, with
little demand, but the local receipts
were small-only sc cars, against SIT
cars year ago today-and the exports
were unusually liberal. which caused
some reaction in sentiment. and early
sellers made all effort to get back their
wheat. When the final returns were in,
showing yesterdays exports to be nearly
300 600 ou in wheat and flour, making
over 100000 bu during the last forty
eight hours, there was session of sharp
buying, which soon sent prices up 1c.
But the market soon eased Off on free
realizing and weakened rapidly on state
ments that the banks were calling in
loans, and on the wide circulation of
other disquieting reports.
The Cincinnati Price Current report
ed that late rains had helped the crop in
Iowa and Nebraska; outside of that the
condition had not improved. and III some
of the dry districts the crop was being
fired" But the trade was not much
affected.
Corn opened rather finn at the
closing figures of Wednesday, and an
Improvement of 4@3sc was gained.
Later the feeling was not quite so firm,
and prices settled back again 1s@Ic.
and closed comparatively steady. In
oats traders inclined to follow the ac-
tion of other grains. The price changes
were frequent within a 19c range, and
the close was at about the lowest point,
with net loss of 19@3sc.
There was no more life in the pro-
vision market today than there was
yesterday. Absence of ready money
for operations is the cause assigned.
Pork is unchanged for September. but
nominally 20c lower for October. Sep
tember lard is 7115c lower and Septem-
Der ribs TIC higher. There were $4,000
hogs received. and the market for to-
morrow was quoted from 10 to zoe lower.
Freights were slow at 14c for wheat
and 1c for corn and oats to Buffalo.

which, if it could be poured away at the
rate of 1000 gallons second, would
take nearly $4,000 million years to get

the bill would come to 1850 billion

the diameter of the column would be
nearly 213 miles. The Pacific would
form 53 million miles of its total length
of 9S million.and the Atlantic Is million.

MIR. SHIELDS JOB.
Interesting Conversation Between
MeSSrS Hill and IEnan

Interesting Conversation Between
Messrs. Hill and Egan.
An interesting story was related to a
GLOBE man yesterday, which is very
Rpropos at the present time to the mat
ter of the resignation of Cornelius
Shields from the superintendency of
the Great Northern at Seattle. 1t
Is well known that President
Egan. of the Chicago Great Western,
did much, if not everything, to advance
Mi. Shields. At one time Mr.. Egan
was general superintendent of the
present Great Northern. and Mr. Shields
was, at the same time, assistant super
intendent. This much in explanation
Of the story. At the time President
Hill. of the Great Northern, began
making overtures to Mr.. Shields to
leave the service of the Chicago
Great Western, the latter. it is said,
was in receipt of an annual salary of
1880. President Hill knows a good
man when he sees him. and offered Mr.
Shields $7,00O-iust double what he was
then getting. He naturally accepted
this excellent offer, and severed his con-
nection President Egan's road. 1t is
alleged that MIR. Egan felt little put
out" over this. The informant of the
HLoB man vouches for the fact that
the two magnates met upon the street,
when the following conversation en-
sued:
President Hill-Good morning, Mr..
Egan. Well, l have COTTON my man
Shields back to my road again.
President Egan-He isn't your man;
he's mine. L brought him out.
President Hlll-Oh, pshaw, l just
loaned him to you.
President Egan-Never mind, Mr..
Hill, I'll get him back again some day.
Now, in view of the fact that Mr.
Shields is to again enter the service of
Mir. Egan's line, it would seem that the
latter is about to carry into effect his
declaration to MIR. Hill.

MEETING OF THE MANAGERS
Proved to Be a FiZzle, and An
other will Be Held.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE general man
ayers of the Chicago roads and of sew
eral other lines near to Chicago, met at
the Grand Pacific hotel today to discuss
the railway situation, The meeting
many being present as were expected,
and not single Eastern line was repre-.
sented. The general discussion closed
with the appointment of committee of
five, which will work up another meet
Ing to be held in September.
1t was generally supposed that
the question of reducing
wages would be taken up, but it was
not. and the meeting was entirely gen.
eral in its character. There Is a we'll
Defined fear among many of the lines
that the existing financial conditions
may force one or two of the weaker
small lines into the hands of receivers.

of making enough money 10 pay eX-

possible disorganiZation of business
from this source, and to devise means
Of saving such of'the small fry as may
get into deep water, was another reason
this respect also nothing was done. All
other matters were disposed of in the
same way, and nothing looking towards
action OH any subject was taken.
People in the West desiring to attend
the Grand Army encampment at In-

The regular worlds fair excursion rate
TO Chicago, and pay IS 65 for the
round trip between Chicago and In
dIanapolis. All three roads to the ell
campment must go via st. Louis or Chi
eago, the round trip rate via the former
city to indianapolis from Kansas City
being s14.50. and via Chicago S1S.15.
This was decided at the meeting of
the Western Passenger association to-
day. Any number of schemes were
proposed, but all of them were sat upon,
and the net result was no reduction at
all, the worlds fair rate being already
in existence and 1856 being allowed by
the Eastern lines. The matter of low
rates to the fair for Illinois day was
killed outright, not a thing toward
lower rates being done. The balloting
on this was secret, but the highest num-
Der of votes cast in favor OF any plan
favoring low rates was G out of possi-
