BASE BALL.


A movement has ben started among
some of the disgruntled owners of fran
chises in this years Interstate Lea
sue, to crowd Wheeling out of the cir
cult for next season. The Pittsburg
Post is helping the matter along, Osten-
sibly because the manager of the local
club caused trouble and dissensiOn last
summer. The real reason for the
Posts opposition TO Wheeling is well
understood. 1t has not been a very
long time since this city was given "a
boost in the sporting columns of that
same paper. To turn down Wheeling
and Toledo for such hamlets as Brad
ford and New Castle which have only
recently been placed on the maps Of
Pennsylvania; or for Springfield, Ohio
which has never given even half-heart-
ed support 70 professional base ball, is
species of folly which the Interstate
managers may be depended upon to
steer clear of. Wheeling has always
been a good base ball city. and is yet
despite the disastrous experiment of
last summer. The owner of last year
team is not anxious for another season,
get he would doubles profit by his mis-
takes and make money from club. 40

held in the Police Court room at the
City Hall, there were TWO speeches Of
some little length one by Chairman
Richard Robertson and the other by
Mr. Harry Hooking. These addresses
were in the line of waking up the Re
DIblicans of the ward assuring them
that they had a hard fight before them
and that no halfway measures would
win a victory for the Republicans. as
there was but thirteen majority for the
Republicans i'm the ward two years
ago. while the majority at the Presiden-
tial election was not large, and the
ward and district lines We're not the
same. Both these addresses We're ap-
plauded.

eraI Share List.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The stock
market to-day displayed considerable
shrinkage in volume of business. The
movement Of prices was irregular but
with an upward trend, which was
shaped to an extent by covering pur-
chases, and buying for long account
under the favorable conditions Of the
encouragement of gold and the extern
slVe shipments of American securities
to be made to London tomorrow. The
shipments are conservatively estimated
At So,ooO shares and include chiefly ST.
Paul, Louisville and Nashville and
Atchison. The purchases were almost
wholly of stocks and are, as noted in
the dispatches, for the account Of q
London pool. It has been contended
that the buying has not been reflected
to any noteworthy extent by the ex,
change market, but on the other hand
the point is made that but for the pool
operations, exchange might have risen
sharply, as London had previously
been heavy seller. The initial prices
to-day were mainly fraction below
the closing figures of yesterday and in
the first dealings, further declines were
generally scored. The pressure against
the market now abated and a firmer
tone became prevalent, substantial re-
cover1es being noted in many instances.
The depression at the outset was chief
ly ascribed to realizations. The sus-
tanning influence was the closing ont
OF short contracts. The trading was
only on moderate scale but in num-
per OF cases prices advanced substan-
TALLY above yesterdays final figures.
In the last hour, however, reaIizing
sales caused reactionary movement.

Not Much Indicated by Current
Movements,

NEW YORK, July 3-Dun & Co.'s
review will say: Current movements
have been so largely of a temporary
character, or else purely speculative on
the day-by-day plan, that they are not
highly instructive. Thus an extensive
shut down Of cotton mills is solely In
the hope that low production In July
and August may clear a largely over
Etocked market. Extended views of the
half years operations in leading
branches of manufacture go far to ex-
plain numerous stoppages. In woolens
they are without concert, mills waiting
for orders. Prices are depressed, but
Still depend on foreign possibilities In
cotton goods, the closing of many mills
both North and South for half Of July
and August is in effect. The reduction
of prices has brought out a large de-
mand in many cases, but not enough to
meet the output of the mills. The out
put Of iron has largely decreased and
there is a quite general stoppage Of
works for repairs, but the annual con-
troversies about wages have in most
cases been settled on 1t is believed will
be settled in all without strikes.
western wheat receipts continue re-
markedly large, 2,441,719 bushels
against SAL, $40 last year for the same

increase, and for five weeks flour in
