- CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The delay in
financial legislation at Washington
seemed to put the board of trade in the
dumps today. The decline IN wheat
since last night amounts to 1c per BUSH
Ell, and corn and oats are each &c lower,
and provisions lost from soc to 40c in
pork, 10 to 12115c in lard and from Is to
2719c In ribs.

same as Yesterdays closing. .eased off &c

advanced 15c. became weak, and this
time declined 114c for September ana

closing was easy. &c from bottom.
An early report made the clearances
from Baltimore $4,000 bushels, which
made little temporary strength. But
| later adyiceS cast some doubt upon the
authenticity of this report, and the re-
suit was To weaken prices. A state
to the effect that the last national bank
statement showed decrease of Sl93.-
000,0O0 in deposits, and Sl97,000,000 de-
| crease in loans.
Trade was light. Most of the busi-
ness was in the way of changing Sep
| tember into December. Gables were of
| all unfavOrable tenor. and helped to de-
| press values, but the chief cause. prob
| ably. for the weakness was the lack Of
| trade. There was rather more DISPOSE
| ton to sell,than buy. 1t was reported
| that Germany was sending money here
| to carry wheat, and 1t was also rumored
that S4,00o,0O0 more gold had been with
drawn from the Bank of England for
America.
The wheat does not appear to move
out of Chicago as il should. and there is

Corn was quiet and easy on more rain
IL the interior and the weakness in
wheat. The offerings, while not very
liberal or urgent, exceeded the demand.
The close Was steady at inside figures.
In oats little more pressure to sell
was observed, and prices receded sc,
| the market closing weak at about the
inside.
The provision market weakened I'M
der the receipt of $4,000 hogs. Pork
and lard closed at the lowest point of
the days range, but September ribs re-
covered 10c from bottom prices. Armour
81 Co. and the American Packing COM
pany bid up ribs toward the close.
FreightS were dull. Rates are so low
that boats are tying up. and offerings
of room are light. Rates to Buffalo
were &c for wheat and lc for corn, aud
to Kingston 2s4c for wheat and 21ac for
corn.

WISCONSIN CENTRAL.1
The ReceiverShip of the n. p. Will
Not Affect This Road,


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 19-Howard
Morris, general solicitor and secretary
of the Wisconsin Central. expresses il
as his opinion that the appointment of
receivers for the Northern Pacific will
haYe no unfavorable effect on the Cen
tlal lines. Mr.. Morris has just returned
from New York, and he left the city
again this morning. The receivership
does not affect the Wisconsin Cen
tral company, the only relation of
which with the Northern Pacific is
that the latter has leased the Central
company's lines. The receivers will OBJ
crate the lines under the lease, and com
ply with Its conditions with reference TO
the Wisconsin Central company or for
felt it. MIR. Payne says that he had re-
ceiyed no official information regarding
the suits against the Northern Pacific
directors, and he could make no state
ment as TO the effect it would have on
the affairs of the company. Others in
this city who are interested in the CON-
pany maintain that bringing the actions
against the directors is simply one way
of attempting TO bring honorable men
into dlsrepute, and to cause them
trouble. They predict that the charges
will fall fat when the cases are tried in
the courts instead of the newspapers.

WASHINGTON, July %. Touching the sus-
pension OF the pension OF Charles Dean Long.
one OF the Justices OF the Supreme Court OF
Michigan reported In Detroit dispatches. IL
was ascertained, upon inquiry at the Pension
Bureau to-day, that Judge Long was In re-
ceipt OF pension at the rate OF $72 month
for loss OF the left arm above the elbow and
gunshot wound Of the left hip, resulting in

Report being made to the bureau that. in
spite Of tho fact Of his being pensioned for
total helplessness requiring the regular aid

performing his duties as Justice Of the Su-

per annum, the bureau naturally came to the
conclusion that an investigation OF the case
was demanded. and suspension followed ac-
cordingy, on the ground that the performance

was hardly consistent with the total helpless

This petition has been signed by many lead

The committees has alec abandoned it's inten-
