Chicago Change. s+
 Chicago, Sept. 7.-Interest in the wheat market today was distracted by the yacht race, traders paying more attention to the bulletins on the popular event than to the buying and selling of grain. It was hardly to be expected that with the loss of energy from the diversion mentioned and from the half holiday session prices would display any disposition to advance, inasmuch as the sprng wheat movement continued unabated. Business dragged throughout, but upon the posting of lower closing cables from Ber1in and Paris there was a second retrogresion, from which there was no recovery up to noon, when the market closed. Bradstreet's s reported fair weekly clearances from both coasts-2, 260 900 bushels--but they were small by comparison with those of past years December wheat opened from 5gGsg5sztc eas H C. under yesterday. Cash wheat was Aq1sc
 Corn-The range on May corn was E of the light business was comfortably trans, acted3 The degree of dullness that existed can therefore be readily understood The feeling was firm, the. exact source Of strength being somewhat puzzling. May corn opened at 297sc, sold at 29$4c closing at corn was Ac per bushel lower.
 Oats-The cat market was in neglected state. The people who have been active in the recent past were conSpicuously absent today and prices dragged through the ses- sion in a somewhat indifferent manner. A fair amount of steadiness in tone was ob- than yesterday. Cash oats were Ae per bushel lower
 Provisons-Products declined at the open ing, prices afterwards remaining unmoved through a lack of trade. The hog market was firm and higher and should have ar gued for ab etter feeling in provisions, but there was no demand and for that reason sellers were obliged to submit to reduced quotations. October pork closed 5c lower, October lard 212c lower and October ribs 10c lower. Domestic markets were quiet and easy.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

New York, Sept 1.-The Suns cotton re- view says.
 Cotton advanced S to 10 points and then reacted, but became stronger again and closed steady at a net advance of points, yaneed 1-S2d on tho spot and 3 points for future delivery, closing steady. New Or leans advanced to s points, lost 3 to points of this and rallied later. making net advance up to 1 o'clock of to points. The receipts at New Orleans on Monday are estimated at 2ooO bales, possibly 29oO bales, the same day last year Houston received 1901 bales against 163O this day last week and 59S1 last year The port rreeeeipts were week and 939i bales this day last year.
 The weather at the south was; generally clear The, signal service predicted T, fair weather and east winds for western Texas and fair weather in eastern Texas and fair weather. preceded by showers, in the ex- prevailing In southwestern Texas the Mexican weevl is said to be doing great in jury; Heavy rains were reported at Paris northeastern Texas. Fort Worth M also re- re ern Texas. The yield in southwestern, southern and central Texas is declared to be 70 per cent less than that of last year. In Texas there is a large demand for paris green and it is scarce in that state. Spot cotton here was steady and unchanged, with sales of Al bales for spinning. The southern spot markets were steady.
 The Chronicle stated that reports from he south are less favorable; that rain has fallen in almost all section during the week in the interior; that the precipitation has been excessive; that worms and shedding are claimed to have done much injury to the crop in Texas. In portions of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas dam age is reported to have resulted from sim liar causes as well from an excess Of de- 6ciency in moisture Picking is now pro gressing well at many points.
 The total worlds visible supply is now 22S9, ,549 bales, including 2011,3i9 American against a total at this time last year of 1913 SSS, of which 1,5236SS were American The total of this crop in sight since Sep ember Is B. 191 bales, agains total at this time last season of 56 191 bales. The exports from the ports since September 1 have reached 57l2 bales, against 17,623 bales in the same time last year.
 The strongest features today were the advance in Liverpool and the unfayorable crop reports published by the Chronicle which confirms private adVieeS to the ef- feet that great injury has been done to the crop in various portions of the south.
 The speculation was on smaller scale, but nevertheless there was some good buy ing and a very fair advance resulted. The dominant sentiment is bullish beyond ques- tion The receipts at the ports and the interior towns of late have shown some in crease, but nevertheless they have fallen considerably below the figures for the cor responding period of last year. The aver age operators are inclined to the bull side, and this market may suffer from the ef- fects of oVerbuyinE, but the general opin- ion is that sooner or later prices must reach a considerably higher level. Gen eral trade shows a decided increase over last year at this date.

Ishpemins strikers Still Determined.

IsHPEMING, Mich, Sept 3.-Seven com
panies of state troops are massed to pro
tect the men brought from outside points
to operate the steam shovels loading ore fol
shipment. The strikers made no effort tC
interfere with the works, but held an i'm
mense meeting at the usual place of as
sembling. The leaders counciled them tt
continue firm, but not to undertake pre-
venting mines from shipping ore. ThC
strikers say the presence Of troops is un
necessary, as they do not contemplate in
reference with the work of shipping ore
The men are as determined rs ever not Il
submit. The president Of the union, VIII
liam Coad, resigned after having vainly
attempted to persuade the men to return
to work on the company's terms. Mr.
Roberts, who represents the, more radica
element, was elected to his place.

FIFTY WE'RE INJURED
By the Crash of a "Wild" Engine
Into a Crowded Car.
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN DESERT
And Their Locomotive Went at Full Speed
Into the Rear Car of an Excursion Train,
Smashing 1t Into Kindling Wood and
Burying the Passengers in Debris.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 3-An appalling rail
road accident occurred nt 3:IO o'clock yes.
terday afternoon near Woodlawn station,

people were injured. While train No 3,
drawing seventeen cars, which were filled
almost to suifOcation by cxcursionists,
was standing at Woudlawn station, u
''wild' engine came laundering along and
crashed into the rear car, telescoping IT,.
The car was fun of passengers, most Of
whom camc from New York. Many peo.
pie saw the engine tearing along, and
jumped from the train and thus saved
their lives.
A colored porter yelled to the passengers
to jump. The runaway engine dashed
into the rear car, smashing it into kind
ling wood and burying men, women and
children beneath it, There was a mad
rush of surging humanity from the train
Scarcely half dozen people kept then
heads or were able to render assistance tC
the injured. Patrolman Kelly, who wa:
on duty at the station, turned in several
ambulance calls, and five ambulance
from the surrounding hospitals promptly
responded In the meantime the wood
work of the wrecked carriage caught fire
completely destroyed before the trair
hands were able to uncouple them anC
four cars were telescoped by the collision
Most of the injured were taken to the hos
pitfalls, and several will probably die.
The following residents of New Yorl
city are among the severely injured: Jo
seph Roe, Abraham Levy, Lizzie Weff
August Suddebstrong, Moritz Frankel
Joseph Roeman, Lewis Held, Joseph Freed
man, Joseph Lewinson G. Seyerman, Miss
Montclair, George Hammond, JOSEPH
Frink, August George, Gustavus Milling

Edward H. Freeland, Newark, n. j..
James Hueston, Kearney, n. j.
The police authorities, who have Engi
neer Frank Jason and Fireman Arthu
Ross, of the runaway engine, under arrest
say that engine No. 8, while shunting ol
the track was in danger, while going back
wards, of collision with another engine
The engineer, thinking it impossible t.
avoid this collision, reversed the lever an,
/ jumped from the train, followed by hi

down the tracks at the terrific rate of speed
