CHICAGO. Aug. AFTER a weak start,
caused by the Diamond Match furry, wheat
closed firm, on a good demand for ship
ment, at $3.50 for September, against yes
terday's close Of 5Sa4c. Corn closed Ac
higher, and provisions closed firm and higher
There was moderate trade in wheat, prin-
cipally local, with fluctuations covering 1c
The feeling at the start was rather uncer-
tain owing to the easier feeling in Wall street,
and then the large local failure on the
stock exchange was factor, but the mar
ket, all things considered, held up fairly
WELL Initial trades were at 1011sc loss, but
rallied lie, eased off little and closed with
1sc decline The weather was most favor
able, being hot and clear in the winter wheat
sections, which is Just what is wanted to
dry out the grain and put it in condition for
the thresher. Cables were UP I'd, and there
was decrease on ocean passage. Prospects
favored very moderate worlds shipments, and
also added something to the price. The poor
grading of todays arrivals was noticeable; out
of 240 cars, SO were No. red, Sc No. red and
81 no grade, but with good weather the quality
will undoubtedly improve. Northwestern re-
ceipts are increasing again. Trading in corn
was in fair volume, with increased interest
from the outside, fluctuations covering k@1c
range. The market opened weak, with wheat
and other speculative commodities, but soon
rallied, selling up lie, and final figures showed
A@3sc gain. Early offerings were quite read
lily absorbed. The oats market showed less
than the usual interest and prices moved with
in &c range and closed at about the top.
Trading was chiefly in September and May.
few traders had information that private
crop report to be issued tomorrow will show
a reduction in the condition of 20 points
since last month. There was some buying on
this, and 1t helped to strengthen the mar
ket. While traders in the grain markets were
trying to persuade themselves that the Moore
failure should make their grain cheaper the

MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.
Decline Followed the Weakness in
Chicago.

The market for speculative wheat opened
at decline of about half cent This was
on account of the decline in Chicago following
some heavy failures on the Chicago Stock
exchange. But the full decline there was not
reflected and the difference between the two
markets was narrowed to about 31ac. There
was good demand for cash wheat, but the
offerings were so small as to lower the vol

NEARLY 10000 CARS IN 1896
CAR INSPECTION ASSOCIATION

The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa Transfer Joint Car Inspection as
ISOLATION. held at the union depot yes
terday, showed up the business of that
important institution in a very favor
able light, and opened the eyes of even
the members to the amount of business
transacted by the concern.
There were represented at the meet
ing the Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul,
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha, Northern Pacific Great North
ern, Minneapolis & st. Louis, Wiscon-
sin Central, Chicago Great Western,
Chicago Burlington & Northern, and
the Minnesota Transfer. The organ
izatiOn was formed two years ago for
the purpose of creating a joint and
systematic plan for the inspection Of
all cars passing the transfer, and the
repair of all cars found to be in bad
order. The organization has proven a
great success, and the annual saving
to each road since it's creation has
amounted to a large sum.
There were present at the meeting
Master Mechanic w. H. Lewis, of the
Burlington, Superintendent of Motive
Power J. o. Pattee, Of the Great North
ern, Master Mechanic John Tong, of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, General Car
Foreman Alfred Childs, of the North
ern Pacific, Supt. of Motive Power and
Car J. McNaughton, of the Wisconsin
Central, at Waukesha, Supt. r. Dud-
geon, of the Minnesota Transfer. and
Secretary A. j. Stobbart.
The annual report of Supt Dudgeon
was a surprise to all, as it shows that
during the past year the enormous
number Of 2O2,250 cars have been in
spected in the yards Of the Transfer
company at Midway and that 1880
cars have been repaired to greater or
idea of the extent of the business
which is going on daily in this great
sorting-out point for all the roads. The
payroll Of the company per month
was shown to be over 1500.
The annual reports were discussed
and it was unanimously voted to con-
tinue the inspection system upon the
same plan that has existed for the last
year.
An arbitration committee was ap-
pointed the members to be selected by
the officers of the following roads:
Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
the Minneapolis & st. Louis. This COM
mittee will have important functions
in case of disagreementS of any kind.
Robert Dudgeon was reelected super
tntendent of the Inspection association
and A. j. Stobbart secretary.

eminent The object of the invetigation is to
find out just how the reconsigning practice at
Kansas City serves to cut the rates grain.
All the witnesses acknowledged the existence
of this practice, and the two railroad officers
also said that the scheme was open to illegal
practices. The commission has summoned
Joint Agent Maegly, of Kansas City, to
appear and produce all books, correspondence
and other documentary evidence of his office
to show the modus operandi of this reconsign-
ing practice. Maegly's evidence, if given,
would, it is said, be to the disadvantage of
several railroads, and he is reported to have
been instructed to absolutely refuse to pro-
duce the documentary evidence asked for on
the ground that he is not railroad officer,
but officer of railroad association, and
that the commissions jurisdiction does not
extend to railroad associations. If Maegly re-
fuses to testify, the commission will have an
opportunity to assert its acquired authority
under the Brown decision by committing him
to jail.
The St. Louis & San Francisco road has
given notice that it will withdraw from the

citation called a meeting of the association in

very unfavorable for completing the work OF
stacking and threshing from the shocks. AS
of the past two weeks, the unsecured grain
has been materially injured by rotting and
sprouting. Oats suffered the greatest dam
age. but spring wheat has also been badly
hurt. Grain is considerably injured by ex-
