Chicago, Oct. 7.-Wheat was extremely
weak to-day. Few wanted to buy and
none wanted to hold it. The influential
leaders in the boom of recent date have
been selling all week, and that has been
more discouraging to the smaller opera
tors. December wheat opened from 6S12 to
6S2sc. sold between 6S7sc and 673sc, closing
at 675sq67% c-1h01ssc under yesterday.
Cash wheat was 112c per bushel lower.
Corn.-Having participated in the
strength Of wheat consistency demanded
that corn should decline in response TO the
weakness in the leading market. Trading
was slow in the extreme. May corn opened
at 26Ac, sold between 263s9261ac, and 25%g
257sc, closing at 26c-gsc under yesterday.
Cash corn was half a cent lower.
Oats dropped a few fractions in price to
agree with the tone, and action of the 9TH
er grains. Business was dull. May oats
closed ssQ1ac under yesterday. Cash oats
were Ad1zc per bushel lower.
Provisions did not sympathize with grain
but rather inclined to improve in value.
The hog market was strong in tone and
from 5Gl10 cents higher. Provisions took
their motive from the yards. January pork
closed 15Gd714c higher; January lard, 121z0
15c higher, and January ribs, 719c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.

New York, Oct. 7.-Riordan &. Co saw of
cotton to-day: The market fuctusted
within range of 13 points to-day. Janu-
airy opening at 1850, advancing to SO2o
declining to 7.9Oc and reacting in the last
hour, closing at 1891 &c. with the tone
steady. The receipts continue TO nour ",
in staggering volume, and as long as
this keeps up, we fear cotton will he
heavy and dropping. The bears here are
highly elated and say that January will
certainly go 10 Gf5c. This may be, but il
all depends upon how the receipts shall
run. One thing seems pretty certain
ANY further decline is likely to be slow
and stubbornly contested, while if there
should be any marked shrinkage in the
movement the resulting advance would
probably be remarkably sharp and sud
den. The bureau report to be given out
next saturday is lion in the path of the
bears, and the fear of its figures proba-
bly, prevented a more serious break to-
day.
New York, Oct. THE Sun says of cot
ton to-day Spot prices here declined
&c, with sales of 115 bales for spinning;
$500 bales were delivered on contract.
Liverpool was unchanged on the spot
with sales of 1900 bales; futures there
opened at a partial adavnce of point. re-
acted and declined ~ to 2 points, but re-
covered part of the loss, closing steady
at a net decline of to ~ points. In Man
chester, yarns were duh, but steady;
cloths quiet. Futures here opened un-
changed to points higher, reacted and
declined points, then rallied and advanc-
ed Slightly, but toward the close weak
ened again, and closed steady at a net
decline of to points, with sales of 1885,
400 bales
The speculation to-day was quiet and
the tuctuation in prices were confined
within narrow limits. The crop news
from the south is conflicting, and esti-
mates of the yield range all the way from
100000 to $4,000 bales. In view of the
uncertainty regarding the outcome there
is little disposition here to trade To-day
prices were. tirmer at the opening, but af-
ter the first transactions they weakened
and declined. The Liverpool news was
disappointing and selling orders were re-
ceived from the market, while reports
stated that Neill had estimated the crop
at over 100000 bales. These developments
led to general selling and prices gave way.
The reported Neill estimate was denied
later on, however, and it was also stated
that Neill Brothers would not issue a
crop estimate until after a general frost.
This steadied the market, and prices
slowly advanced. Before the close, how
ever, the market again weakened and the
last prices were slightly lower. The crop
movement continues heavy and the south
ern spot markets were generally lower"

wRANGLE OF THE BALL MAGxATEs
The big Four Finally Agree on the
western League Matter.

New York. Oct. 6.-After a prolonged
two-days' session, the national board Of
arbitration of the National League con-
nue. hotel tonight, and adjourned until
Nov. u, when the board and league meet
ings will be held in Chicago.
With the exception of one other matter,
regarding the numerical representation of
the board, the whole of the sessions were
devoted to the troubles of the Western
league with the Minneapolis and Indian
apolis clubs. The appeal of these two
clubs for release from the Western League
and their charges against that associa-
ton were productive Of lengthy argu-
ments, and last night when the board ad-
journed 1t was divided-Messrs Byrne
and Brush taking sides against Messrs
Young and Soden. 1t looked as IL the
deadlock would be stubborn one,
but in the end wiser coun-
sells prevailed, harmony was re-
established, and virtual victory foreJohn
r. Brush was the result The board de-
cided that IL had no Jurisdiction to compel
the Western league to release the petit
tioning clubs but promptly amended the
national agreement, giving 1t power in
future to consider and pass judgment in
such cases. While the amendment is not
retroactive II Is in fact a warning to the
Western league and President johnson
TO come to an harmonious agreement with
the Indianapolis club, which incidentally
means John r. Brush and President Good
enough of the Minneapolis club, because
II in the future these clubs have any com.
plants to make as to the joekeying with
regard to the shedule or other matters in
imical to their well-being, the board will
have the power TO pass sentence.
The grievance ventilated against the
Western league was that the Grand Rap
ids Club had been illegally Incorporated,
and by the latter being placed on the
schedule the two protesting clubs had
lost 5000 this season, and as they had a
five years contract, they therefore stood
to lose SIS. 900 by the inclusion Of the Mich
igan club. The board declined 10 give
protection TO the Western league until a
copy OF its constitution as at present
standing was filed with President Young.
A very complete change was made In
