THAT BRY4N PEBGENT4GE
 The advantage of Bryan over Mckinley in the percentage of gain shown by the Chicago Records poll as compared with the vote of 1892 continues to be the most significant feature of the poll of the Middle Western States.
 This advantage is constant and keeps steady pace with the vote. No matter how favorable the mum erieal showing for Mckinley may be the result shows q net gaiaof about 8 per cent for Bryan in the changes of votes forom the election of four years ago. In Missouri, Indiana and Iowa there are s per cent more Harrison Republicans who declare their intentions to vote for Bryan than Cleveland Democrats who will vote for Mckinley. Ard 1892 was a good yearfor the Democrats.
 AS the RepaJEc stated when it first pointed out this significant fact, the percent tage is a more accurate index than the numerical poll AHet gain of 8 per cent for Bryan over the Cleveland vote in the doubtful States will make Bryan laudslide.-Rpa5iie.

ROAD POSTAL RULING.
Now Modified by the Acting Post
master General.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Acting
Postmaster General Nelson today mod
flied the recent order of the postmaster
general prohibiting railroads from car
rying, without payment of postage,
mail relating to railroad business. The
modified order was issued to meet the
views expressed in an opinion
by Attorney General Harmon, to
whom the matter had been referred
at the request of the railroad cofnpa-
MES. The attorney general held that a
railroad company had the right to
carry letters, without the payment of
postage, that are written and sent by
the officers and agents of the railroad
company which carries and delivers
them, about it's business, and those
only. They may be letters to others
of its officers and agents, to those of
connecting lines or to any one else so
long as no other carrier intervenes
The moment this occurs such other
carrier is transporting letters for a
third person, which is contrary to law
Letters Of a company addressed to
officers or agents of a connecting line
in company business and delivered to
an agent of the latter at any point of
its line, because such letters become its
own on receipt by any one of its agents,
and transfer to another agent without
the intervention of another carrier
come within the principle already ex-
pressed.

NEW Low RECORD MADE
GRAIN MARKETS WE'RE ALL wEAE

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Pork made new low
record today, September at one time selling
at $3.50 barrel. Rumors that orders for gold
importation had been countermanded and low
er Wall street prices weakened wheat, after
favorable opening, the closing price for
September showing Nc. decline. Corn was
sympatheticaly weak, and closed NC lower.
Oats remain unchanged. One of the chief
factors of the opening frmness in wheat was
the strength displayed in foreign markets.
Liverpool was quoted as opening firm at I'D
per Genital advance, and London at Sd per
quarter higher for American wheat. The
Northwestern receipts commenced today to ex-
hibit a contrast to those of the corresponding
time of the year before. There is still some
of that great crop left, but the daily exhibit
of the Minneapolis and Duluth receipts will
nevertheless show a great discrepancy this
season, as compared with last. Those two
cities received 27S cars today, as against 4OS
cars year ago. Atlantic port cearances were
equal to 396,000 bushels of wheat and -four
together. Closing kilograms confirmed the
strength reported in foreign markets at the
opening, but the market exhausted all it's
strength in taking the little jump it did at
the start. After the early advance business
got slow and stocks getting weaker, there was
about as much effort to sell there had been
to buy early, and all the improvement was

ing steady at 55ssc Corn was very dull and
easier. september opened &c above yeSter-
days close and touched 231@c for a moment,
but soon weakened and in the last half
hour, barely held at 23c the closing price.
oats We're fairly active and for the most
part ruled easy. Exchanging between Septem-
Der and May was frequent occurrence. Sep
TENDER openedssa shade higher at 171A0D175sc,
touched 17a4c and declined to 171ac, closing
steady at that figure. A small-sized raid on
September pork early in the day was the chief
feature of the trading in the provision pit
After loo had been Clipped by small sales,
John Cudahy brokers got at it with sledge-
hammers and smashed another 10c off in about
two blows. This brought the price down to
IS. 80 barrel, the lowest point ever reached
The last loo was recovered again. and the
days loss in September pork was 15c. Com
pared with yesterday, the price left off 21ac
lower. Lard and ribs were more favored, the
falr support given these commodities counter
acting the effect Of the weakness in pork and
closing prices were unchanged to 21ac higher
