CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterdays Transaction on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO. June 9.-Proceedings In the
wheat pit during the first half hour of the
session were interesting, but fraught with
grave consequence to those of the per-
formers who had gone home short on July
wheat yesterday. Fear of manipulation of
that delivery for the benefit of the longs
was the cause Of an advance in 1t of about
Nc per bushel inside of fifteen minutes.
The excitement soon subsidized. and was
succeeded by a heightened period of sub
dued nervousness. July wheat closed yes
terday at 6SAc, on the top of 2%c bulge.
1t opened at from 691sc to 6sssc, and climbed
nimbly to 70%@70%c without break. At
the end Of the half hour 1t was back to
6s1tc. Although there were other bullish
elements, the fear of manipulations, so
prominent in yesterdays bulge was really
the reason for the bulge, and nothing else
was given any particular attention for a
time. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
were small. The state crop reports for
June. which came to the knowledge of the
traders, favored the believers in coming
plentifulness and gave the bears their first
opportunity to pound the market, Once
started the price went down as quickly as
1T had advanced. The foreign markets all
closed strong. That did not help the price
here. however, and when Bradstreet's re-
port of the worlds visible made 1t show a
decrease Of 3,353,0OO bushels, the crowd, as

twenty-eight boatloads taken there for

worked down to 6Sc, and closed at 6S1s@

Corn was only moderately active and
easier, due largely to the improved weather
and the elimination Of the short interest
yesterday, the liquidation, which was done
easily, depressing prices Enough support
materialized, however, to prevent any
great decline.
Oats were slow and inclined to weakness,

A Scheme to Refund Bonds ut n
Lower Rate of Interest.

Philadelphia, Aug. 20.--At special
meeting of the board of directors OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
held today, it is said, a plan was sub
mitted for refunding the bonds which
the company has out at a lower rate

very quiet 1t was learned that for
some time past number of the di-
rectors have been working on plan
to save the company a large amount
of money annually by reducing the
rate of interest on the outstanding
bonds
At the office of the company very
little could be learned in reference to
the meeting, an officer stating that
the business was purely financial
matter and did not interest the pub
lie. 1t was, however, afterward
learned that the meeting was called
for the purpose of discussing plan
fcr the refunding of the bonded debt
What rate of interest the bonds, which
are to be given in exchange for the
outstanding ones are to bear, was not
definitely stated, but it was said that
they would bear less than 3l2 per cent
but more than three per cent
1t is said there was no trouble eX-
experienced in getting the plan through
as all of the directors are in favor of

A Startling Story of Robbers MUIR

Lancaster. Aug. 2O.-This evening a
man, giving the name of John Farrell,
of Sandusky, o., was brought to the
county hospital, with a fearful cut
across his throat seventeen stitches
being necessary for closing it. He is
now in a serious condition.
He was brought here from Collins
Station, seven miles west of Marietta,
on the Pennsylvania railroad. He made
brief statement to the police, say
ing that while walking along the rail
road at Collins last evening three men
approached him and demanded his
money. When they were told that he
had none they knocked him down and
then cut his throat.
As he became unconscious, he could
not tell what became of the assailants.
He says brother, Thomas Farrell, re-
sides at No. 242 Water street, San
dusky.
The hospital authorities doubt his
story, and say the indications are that
he cut his own throat some time today,
as he could hardly have survived such
cut since last night. He appears to
be of good station in life.

intention on the part of r. Hathaway
Shindel to withdraw his candidacy for
state treasurer, in favor of James
Bacon, brought out a crop of inter-

for auditor general

cure the nomination, Mr. Shindel says
he will withdraw in favor of the
strongest men before the convention,
whichever it may be. If he fails this
time, he has assurance, he said that
he will be the treasurer nominee the
next time.
