NEW YORK FLOUR.

n. 7. Prod. Elk. Reptile. general po-
sition has undergone little or no radical
change during the period under review,
although buyers have continued in the
ascendant, sellers being at decided dis
on practically all trade brands
but more particularly on spring patents,
Of which the arrivals have largely CON
sisted. The dullness and depression
have been somewhat seasonable, buyers
moving very cautiously, as customary
at this season, anticipating lower prices
as soon as the new cropzof wheat begins
to move freely This naturally has had
more or less influence on sellers as well,
although millers have not apparently lost
faith, contending that new winter wheat
will be quickly absorbed, as soon as tt
comes to market, In consequence Of the
scarcity Of old wheat. 1t is claimed
that in many places, winter wheat mill
efs have practically no wheat on hand
and will be obliged to begin grinding
new wheat as soon as il LIS available, in
order to supply their local orders.
Hence it seems reasonable to suppose
that the visible supply will not begin to
increase as early this season as usual.
Towards the close the market was dull
and feautreless, Buyers showing Mttle,in-
terest. AT the co1se dull and heavy With
quotations largely nominal, as buyers
were making very few reasonab BILE bids.

GRAIN MARKET
THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

.
Minneapolis. July 1.-THE market
opened this morning with "a feeling Of
weakness. The first trade in September
wheat was at 617sc, &c lower than the
close yesterday. The crowd were ilacIin :
ed to interpret the government report
received yesterday afternoon as bearish
and September wheat sold down to Gle.
At this point bad crop reports from the
Northwest began to come in and the
sentiment changed entirely, September
wheat selling UP to SAC without hardly
any reaction. The news was all bullish,
and after &c break it looks as If the
market should recover at least half Of It.
The Trade Bulletin, asys that the per-
centage as Estimated by the government
report for each state, estimates the crop
as follows: Winter wheat, 224,000Oo0 bu !;
spring wheat, 1S2,000,0 5000 bu, a total Of
400. 100000 bu, which is considerably less
than tho average for the last 10 years.
Also makes the worlds visible supply OF
wheat anu flour, July l.. 16O, 900 O0o.

LOSS OF THE PRESIDENT.
Strange Story Of the ScuttlinK of . Grea
Steamship by Pirates.

Strange Story Of the ScuttlinE Of Great
Steamship by Pirates.
What strange story is that COM
municatcd by the Duke of Newcastle to
The Globe concerning the loss of the
President He says that trustworthy
informant in tho United States assured
him that sailor, dying in an American
port, had confessed to having formed
ono of the crew Of n pirate vessel which
captured the great steamship. Every
soul OH board was made to walk the
plank, and the ship was scuttled.
The story seems incredible. yet it may
be true, and the possibility Of it gives
one quite a shock. 1t is so years ago
and moro since the President disappear
ed from human sight, without, l be-
ieve, leaving a trace. The loss of no
other vessel-for it was the first of the
er cat passenger ships to so-has caused
SO great an excitement. How those at
