Slight Rally from Lowest Quotations

CHICAGO, July 5. - Brilliant harvest
weather depressed wheat to-day. July
closed with loss of &c and September de-

oats &c. Pork lost sc, lard 10c and ribs

Wheat started weak and remained in that
condition until the end of the session. I'M
proved crop reports and fine weather where
harvesting is in progress brought out
large line by people who bought in short
last week and were anxious to get out
again. The weakness of continental Eu-
rope also had some effect. The pressure
here came mainly from local professionals
and at St. Louis. There was Slight rally
from bottom prices near the close on the
steady advance at Liverpool, which showed
an advance of 1%Q4d over the previous
close. Statistics were bullish. The weekly
worlds shipments were smaller, heing
$4,000 blu, against S.647, 900 bu the previous
week and $4,000 year ago. The visible
supply showed a decrease of 2,524,0O0 blu,
against 1,211, 900 bu decrease for the same
period last year. Exports since Friday
were liberal, being 100000 bu. Minneapolis
and Duluth receipts were 1877 cars against
760 last year. Chicago received 12l cars.

Better prices for hogs at the yards start

There seems to be no question that east
bognd rates have been maintained for sew
eral days. Shippers as well as the freight
men admit this, but 1t is apparent that with
this restoration of rates to tariff business
has fallen of. Some of the older of the
freight officials say that, HAD there been no
restoration of rates. there would have been
the same decrease in business in the first
few days of July as until the new wheat
crop begins to move business is usually
quiet Reports from Peoria and ST. Louis
are to the effect that east-bound rates at
these points are well maintained, but at
Chicago 1t is said that certain shippers are
being favored. Such reports always come
from that point; still, the failure of the
part-rail and part-water lines to stand by
their agreement gives an excuse for the all
rail lines for shading if not making direct
cuts in rates. In freight circles a feeling
prevails that, could east-bound rates be
held at tariff a short time longer, all the
lines will have good business and be car
rying it at better paying rates than at any
time in many months.

Wages Restored.

General Manager Kendrick. of the North
ern Pacific, has issued a notice to the eff
feet that the wages of train employees of the
entire system have been restored to the
figure before the reduction in 1894. This
question has been under consideration by
the president and other officials of the rail-
road for some months. In view of the ex-
cellent financial showing by the company
1t was decided to restore wages without re-
quest from employees. The raise dates from
July /. Engineers and conductors will get
an increase Of about Is per cent. Firemen
also secure slight raise but they and
other employees did not suffer so much as
the conductors and engineers in the cut
of four years ago.
