MINING EXCHANGE QUOTATIONS S
The following are today's quotations

oh a r.pe 9O1 South Rroadway.
ON 'CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Today's market
was an inversion of yesterday in that it
displayed heavy tone during most of the
day and rallied strongly during the last
half hour. The days net gains were al
! most all achieved in the last hour, while
on yesterday a half hours profit taking at
the close wiped out nearly all the earlier
gains. There was a feverish tone to the
trading and erratic variations, either of
which. coming after yesterdays freedom
of speculative buying, was pointed to as
significant of the elimination of bull
movement. There were evidences of power
ful manipulations in the market to further
this unsettling tendency and to cause
reaction. But the heavy short sellers of
the day apparently lost confidence in their
theory of reaction and started to buy
back their stocks on fast rising market.
This short covering was the main cause of
the strong rally at the close. But there
We're special causes also at work to defeat
the efforts of the reactionists. There was
nothing unfavorable in the general situa-
ton which they could avail themselves of,
the crop prospects and the decline in for
eign exchange continuing to favor a rise.
In addition to this comes reports of rail-
road earnings for the fourth week ahd
month of July, especially those OF south
ern roads. We're strong influences for an
advance. The buoyancy displayed by some
the efforts at reaction. On the other hand,
the reaction in the wheat market due to
profit taking was due to some falling off
in buying orders and affected the western
railroad stocks sympathetically. The
heaviness in some of the most active indus
trial stocks made the little vulnerable
points of attack by short selling. Sugar
was attacked with especial vigor and re-
ceded 27s from the high point. Liberal
realization imparted heayiness to the deal
ings in the speculative mortgages, with
the losses, however restricted to moderate
fractions. The aggregate sales were 81
100000 Governments were fairly active
and generally firm.
The bears had a chance at the wheat
market today and employed their oppor-
tunity by hammering prices off more than
3 cents. But confidence was badly shaken
by sharp declines in the Berlin and Liver
pool markets, accompanied by liberal SELL
ing orders for foreign account. At one
time during the day there was cent rally
on renewed ruuors of a large export bust
ness, but a wave of selling orders soon
wiped it out and left prices lower than be-
fore. Speculation was very active at the
start and spasmodic all day, flaring up at
times from positive stagnation to fever
lsh activity and fiuctuating rapidly under
changing market conditions. September
opened at s4, fell to S31s and after rally
pack to S4ls dropped in the afternoon to
Ma The highest point yesterday was 49,
Setal transactions were 10,SS5.0OO bushels.

day of 1896. The total received at west
ern primary markets was S39,000 bushels
against 566, 500 bushels year ago. Exports
from the seaboard were equal to 305. 900
bushels Closing cables reported Liver
pool one penny lower than 1t closed yester-
day. Paris was somewhat higher for flour
and unchanged for wheat. No one who was
previously short wanted to buy corn Longs
were only too anxious to find shoulders to
transfer their burdens to, and fresh lines
of shorts being put out were more in evil
dence than buyers to cover corn already
sold. The lowest prices of the day were
current near the close. A big business
was transacted in oats. and the market
was very lively one all day. Liberal
liquidation of September was the chief
cause of the decline in prices Provisions
were weak from start to finish. The drop
in corn had something to do with the de-
cline that occurred and heavy receipts of
hogs here and in the west was another in
fiuence that pulled down most of yester-
days advance.

in ten years had Increased to $500, 900, 900.
AS nearly or fully one-third Of the cot

years, or since $780, the present capital

The Courier Journal, in referring to
these facts. very properly says that the
South has only begun to manufacture It's
raw products. It's natural advantages
are III every way superior, to the West.
In few more years it will be CONNER
cial nbsurdity to sell cotton to New Eng
land instead Of to the mill that adjoin
the fields where 1t Is grown.

WAKING Err. BLACK UP.

Louis Il. Payn, who has Just been
appointed Superintendent or Insur-
ance for the State OF, New York by
Governor Black. Is either one of the
most maligned Of men or the greatest of
scoundrels upon the face Of the earth.
Since his appointment by the Governor.
at the instance Of Senator-elect II. c.
Platt, the newspapers, without single
exception from one end Of the State to
the other, have denounced him in the
bitterest terms, and Governor Black has
come in for q full share Of the same.
For instance, here is what the Roches-
ter Post Examiner, one Of the staunch-
est Republican journals in NewsYEe,lt k,
mas to say Of the appointments: !.
Governor Frank S. Black last
evening deliberately perpetrhted an
outrage upon the public welfare Of
SO he1nouS nature that if he re-
ceived his deserts he would promptly
pc impeached and removed from
office. He has irretrievably dis
gr;iced himself, he has dshonored
the State, he has inflicted injury
upon the party whose commission he
bears. SO honest men, whatever
their politics, can have no further
N9S tol IllIH. I1e l)OSeu OUTING the
campaign as u man possessing q
lofty conception OF public duty-he
made an excellent impression here
III Rochester. Because they believed
he was what his own words and his
friends testimony made him out to
be, the Republican masses and
thousands Of independent voters
rallied to his support. These people
now discover that he buncocd them;
that they. were dealing not with q
hightoned patriot, but with O con-
iidence man. If obtaining the Gov
ernorship by false pretenses was an
1ndictable otfense nothing could save
him from doing time in penal in
stituton. From no point Of view is
, his nomination OF the notorious boss
Of the lobby anything else than in
famous. We have had frequent oc-
CASTOR to prot against Tammany'S
pointmentS-Paddy Diver for
Judge, Scanned for Fire Commission
er. Mike DAILY for Commissioner OF
Public Works. and the like But If
Tammany ever picked out one of it's
heelers for high place in the public
service, whose worthlessness was
greater or more generally recognized
than Payn's, we do not now recall
his name. Tweed himself might
have blushed at the suggestion that
person with such 4 rotten reputa-
ton should be set over the insurance
department."
Governor Black is quite a young man
but 1t looks very much rs though he
will learn n thing or two before his term
Of office expires. e,
