NKw YoRK. June Sn-Prcsiden: Cleve-
lands action in calling an extra session of
congress for August vas = decided sur
prise in financial circles At first the re-
port wss not credited for the reason that
ever since the crisis IN tho silver and the
money markets there have been almost
hourly rumors about an extra session.
When finally the bankers and stock ope-
rators were convinced there was decided
feeling OF relief and the consensus Of
opinion was tendency to the belief that
financial and commercial affairs would
henceforth be in the direction OF improve
ment.

A Break In July wheat.

CHICAGO, June 3o.-Scared spectators
had to pay 60 per cent. interest today for
money to carry wheat. and liquidation was
ON a stupendous scale. 1t was the last day
before July delivery. and numbers Of un-
lucky traders had held on to their July
wheat. hoping for some bulge or squirt on
the bull side to let them out. When
the last day arrived and September
was at too much Of premium
to buy, tho only thing left was
to throw July wheat on an already sick
market This made sensational turn
and resulted in knocking prices to point
never before reached. The iow record had
been broken many times In the past 81
weeks, but at 10 time so abruptly as today.
After a session Of great excitement. July
closed ~ to isk cents lower tnan yester-
day, though yesterdays figures were the
lowest previously known In the history OF
the Chicago board Of trade.

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 9.-Theai'
ternoon's Democratic caucus was almost
unproduCtIve OF results. Most OF the
time was consumed in the expression OF
individual views which clearly demon
strated that each element in the party
was firmly welded to its own notions.
Ono senator, who occupies high posi-.
tion in the finance committee and
whose leaning towards free silver is pro-
nounced, declared positively, "You can
set ii down as q certainty that tho Sher-
man act will not be repealed uncon'
dltionally." On the other hand, some
senator's who have sided with the Presi.
dent said rather desponLently that
while no tangible advance hGd been
made toward point where the party
could be regarded as united, they had
not abandoned hope that the efforts in
that direction might eventually result
in success.
1t is gathered from this that the con-
ditional repeal proposition is gaining
In strength and that certain Of the ultra
silver men arc preparing to followin
the direction indicated by the leaders
in the silver caucus in tho house to-
day, namely: towards repeal with free
coinage at an increased ratio. 1t was a
rather significant fact that the silver
men appeared to have less anxiety than
their opponents about the result OF the
caucus, as was evidenced by their con.
duct while the senators wero discussing
the situation, a number OF them leav.
ing the room and going to the restaur'
ant where they calmly INDUCED in
luncheon, apparently unconcerned as
to what was going on in the chamber
above.
Immediately after adjournment Of the
caucus Mr., German repaired to the
room OF the committee on appropria-
tions and called into consultation Sena.
tors Blackburn, Gray, Ransom and
Voorhees,. Senator Cockrell was in.
vited to remain In the room. All OF
these senators, with the exception OF
Senator Gray, were members Of the
Democratic caucus committee OF the
last session; and although Mr.. German
had not made his appointments at the
time Of the consultation, their presence
gave color to the expectation that they
would be named as membersEof-the
caucus committee tomorrow.
