Big Drop In Wheat.

CHICAGO, H., July 9.-Wheat went
down grade at dizzy pace today ending
with loss Of 16 cents for the day,
making the sensational decline of over
8 cents within the last two days. The
closing price last night for the Septem-
Der option was 81 "a cents. The
market opened at 67 l-2 cents today and
fell, with but very few reactions to its
closing price, sc SO cents.
The very heavy decline was princi-
pally the result Of the expectation Of
heavy crops. Holders OF long wheat
were frightened into letting go and the
market having no support, went all to
pieces under the Offering. The failure
Of predicted frosts to materialize, the
weak foreign markets and the forecasts
Of the government report, all helped in
the decline and the lack Of export
demand was also bearish factor. The
other markets followed, all closing
lower, notably pork with loss of SO 2
cents per barrel

viii Result IN . Party Split.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Senator George
G.. Vest sailed on the Westernland for
Antwerp this morning, and will remain
abroad for his health for several months.
Senator Vest had just come from
journey through the Western cereal
producing states, and he said that he
had never seen crops generally In such
good condition and everything SO favor
able for a harvest far above the average
in quantity and quality.
1.-THE Wilson bill has been proved to
be practical business measure. When
it is fully tried it will yield much
larger revenue, but whether sufficient
to meet all of the expenses Of the Gov
ernment remains to be seen. I would
not say that it might not be necessary to
increase the revenue by an additional
impost on beer, spirits or sugar, but
that is contingency of the future.
The Senator is in favor of free silver,
and has very decided views on the
subject.
IF any attempt to commit the Demo
cratic National Convention to a single
gold standard succeeds it will split the
party and cause the nomination of a
free silver ticket. The people of the
East have no idea of the strength of this
sentiment in the Western and Southern
states. It will be the main issue in
1895. The question must be settled,
and it will not down until it Is settled
1.-The silver men do not demand an
immediate approval of free coinage
law, and would be contented with a
frank, honest expression committing
the party to bimetallism and free use
of silver as soon as some practical
measure could be formulated and
enacted into law. The Republicans
will probably straddle. as they usually
do.
Missouri is strongly free silver. The
Democrats will hold convention In
August, and, believe, 1t will declare
unanimously for free coinage.
"The principal sentiment does moi
point toward anyone in particular in the
Democratic party. Mr.. Cleveland will
leave Office with renown to himself and
the country. ] do not believe he would
accept q third term even though II
should be offered him, which Il
unlikely
