highest historical mark. The flood is
still rising. From points still further

floating roofs of houses and barns and
innumerable carcasses of hogs, sheep

The Pullman Strike.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The chief officers
OF the American Railway union met
informally today to discuss the status
of the Pullman strike. The meeting
resulted in nothing looking to
the American Railway union
taking an active part In
the strike. 1t developed the
fact that the American Railway union
proposes to stand by the Pullman
strikers to the end. But it is probable
that no action will be taken until the
meeting of the union employees will be
held in Chicago, June 81. President
Debs said the union would take no
steps against the Pullman company
until every other resource had been
exhausted.

MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-There was bull
news in wheat today OF the kind which
usually excites the habitual supporters
of that side to dare the bears to do their
worst They were ready TO do battle
on the danger now threatening the crop.
The bears stood pat on their old and
well-tried reliance, on the much-worn
text: Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" Bull news affecting next
season was Intellectual as against S0.OO0.-
600 bushels visible. Compared with sat
urday's closing price there is a decline
of sc. Corn suffered from a 2,5OO,OoO
busbel increase in the visible and de-
cIined &c. Provisions were strong and
higher on lighter receipts of hogs than
had been looked for. Wheat surprised
some people at the opening by the
strength it displayed. Not that there
was anything in the early news OF
bearish character for quite the contrary
was the case. but there has been a
settled conviction among a large con-
tfneent of the speculative operators that
wheat was dead. that the signs OF life
It gave this morning raised protest.
Higher cables and predictions of cold
wave were the strong features early
I'm the session The opening was about
lie to &c higher than Saturdays closing
figures. and after holding fairly steady
for a while became weak and prices de-
clined SIC to 7sc from the top inquire
reached, then ruled more quiet ana the
closing was about %sc lower than on
Saturday May opened at 65Ac and De
clined irreguiarly TO 643sc.
The corn market was very dull. but
the price rather favored the bulls in
the forenoon, with the tendency in the
other direction later in the session.
The receipts were less than the esti-
mates, but the increase in the visible
supply was heavier than was satisfac-
tory to holders. 2usiness was very dull,
with ten minute intervals between
trades i'm the middle Of the session.
May sold sparingly at SS3Sc and grad
uallv declined. closing at 3Slsc. Bust
ness in oats was quiet and confined al
most entirely to local dealers. There
was not much disposition on the part
