GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS.

Chicago, June 15.-The nervous feel
ing of the local wheat market was
shown to-day when July jumped IA
on a few buying orders after selling
off on big Black sea shipments. The
closing was at a "a cent loss. Corn
closed unchanged. Oats "a cent low
er and provisions unchanged to cents
lower. A very moderate speculative
trade was quoted, the market ruling
slow and dull at times within the
range of 15s@24 cents.

RALEIGH COTTON MARKET.


HUBBARD BROS. & co.'s LETTER.
New York, June 10 Especial AS
the demand for cotton continues in
LIVERPOOL. the attention of spinners is
being directed to the rapid demolition
of their stock of cotton, and while
crop prospects continue TO be very good
prospects do not supply the actual re-
quirements OF the mills. Again it is
evident that the European spinners
do not regard the crop as made on the
10th of June, and recall wildly the
mistake they made last season in lis
tening TO large crop estimates d month
later than now. These reasons are the
foundation on which the advance in
the Liverpool market is based and they
seem to regard the improvement as not
vet eliminated. Locally there has
been disposition to regard the inn
provement as only temporary and the
traders have fought the Improvement,
while the principal sellers have been
houses identified with the whole trade.
Should business show any improve
ment as a result Of the action of the
Republican convention i'm st. Louis
the statistical position would play a
prominent part in influencing prices;
while there is yet time for bad crop
accounts before the crop is harvested.
Although a supply of August deliveries
appear on the market, apparently to
prevent too rapid an advance, the mar
ket closed firm at about the best prices
of the day. If the demand for cotton
continues ON its present scale in Eu-
rope, our advance will hold and as
their supply is small as compared with
other seasons they may be expected TO
take at least their requirement until
more is known of the growing crop.

mates the total production at $50

John Shermanis plea for labor at
Columbus in 1896: But by far the
greatest injury resulting from the
free coinage Of silver will fall upon
vorkingmen. Their wages are now
based upon money Of the highest value,
upon gold coin Of standard value. Un-
der free coinage of silver the value of
the silver dollar will fall to IS cents
In gold, or. as have already said, the
hundred cents Of the gold dollar will
be worth $50 cents Of the silver dollar.
With free coinage OF silver every work
ingman can and ought to demand
enough silver for his daily wages to
be equal to the purchasing power of
his present wages in gold. The strug-
gle between workingman and employer
will then commence and no one knows
better than the workingman how diff
cult II Is to get an advance az pay.
We have strikes and strife enouEn
now, when the workingman gets his
pay In gold coin or its equivalent. but
what will be the condition when he is
paid In cheaper money Of the same
nominal amount, but OF less purchasing
power? Every sentiment of Justice

that while in the first seventy years of
