Wheat traders who have been wrong
on the market for year are now try
ing to get their money back by selling
short after decline on September OF
about 80 cents. Prices are down to
normal basis, but sentiment generally
is bearish. Every effort has been made
to force values down on ths idea that
the crop will be enormous, and that
the exports will be about 30 per cent
of those for the year just closing, which
will show up nearly 2s5, 900 bushels
of flour and wheat. The Letter wheat.
as we'll as that held by Pilsbury. Pea
vey and others, who were interested
Jointly with the late bull leader, has
passed into strong hands and is being
liquidated at comparatively good
prices. Geddes sold nearly 2,000, 900
bushels last week, that is In Liverpool
and afoat. Armour in two weeks has
sold nearly 5000. 900 bushels of the
Z, 600, 900 bushels of Letter wheat held
in this country two weeks ago. There
is sentiment among many good traders
that wheat is low enough, and that un-
til harvest conditions are generally i'm
proved there is little to be gained by
selling short on the breaks. Crop con-
ditions have cut more Of figure, par
ticularly from the Southwest, where
efforts have been made to reduce the
yield from the extravagant figures sent
out early in the season. If Kansas,
Oklahoma, and Texas get 100, 900, 900
bushels to 1870. 900, 900 bushels they
will get big yield. There is some
deterioration in quality owing to the
wet weather, but this is not bull ar
gument. In the Northwest there has
been deterioration by heavy rains and
lodging and little local damage by
grasshoppers, but not enough to cut an
important figure. England will be the
best buyer of American wheat this year
unless conditions change. France will
not have to import a great quantity,
and Austria-Hungary and other coun-
tries which have to buy wheat the past
twelve months will be out of the mar
ket by the LIST of September, and possi-
bly, before. France is expecting new
wheat by the middle of August. The
weather there has not been favorable,
and there has been some crop deteriOr-
atitOn.

BADLY BITTEN BY A DOG.
Horace Mundy Has a Hand-to-Hand
Conflict With q Maddened
Canine.

Horace Mundy, who has charge of
the county poor farm, had a narrow
escape yesterday from being the vic
tim of a f%erocious dog. Mr.. Mundy and
a farm hand had started to town in a
wagon and the dog, which proved
himself of a very savage nature,
wanted to follow. Mr.. Mundy alighted
from the wagon and endeavored to
drive the brute back. The dog was
determined to follow and, becoming
enraged, attacked his master. He
made a number of very savage
attempts to seize Mr.. Mundy by the
throat, but was each time beaten of,
and after a hard fight was finally
killed. However, Mr.. Mundy was
severely bitten on both arms above
the elbows. He hastened to town and
DIR. Ned Rodes dressed his wounds.
The dog had never seemed to be OF
| a ~ferocious nature and had been raised
with the children, who would have
fallen an easy prey to his huge jaws
had they been attacked by him.
MI. Mundy is resting easy to-day,
but his wounds are of a serious nature
and may result In blood poison,
although the better is to be hoped
for.

FROM FORT
Serving as q Soldier Not What 1t is
Cracked Up to Be-Interesting
Letter From j. W. Tapley.

The following letter written by an
Audrain County boy, late of Laddonia,
Mo-, now of the Third Cavalry in the
regular army, to DIR. Bridgford, OF
Mexico, will be of interest to all Of
our readers:
FORT MCPHERSON, Ga, June g.
Kind Sir: l suppose you think l have
forgotten my promise, but the reason
for not writing sooner was that we
are all broke and no stationery is fur
nished us. We can't get any money
until the latter part of July at the
earliest. We have no idea when we
leave but expect to go to Tampa the
first of next week.
Recruits are coming and going al
the time. There are about $500 on an
average here all the time; $50 start
for Manila tomorrow.
Our accommodations here are fair
not exactly like they would be al
home, though. We are fairly well
fixed with hunks, but sometimes have
hardly enough to cat. Our food con-
sists of a mixture OF beef and bean
soup, sometimes lightbread with
potatoes.
There is NO 3rd Cavalry here except
the ten men who left Mexico. The
army is not what it is cracked up tc
be, although l am fairly well satisfied
1t is not what / expected 1t.
1t is amusing to Q the expression
on some of the dainty young men.
who came in with patent feathers and
high standing collars, when they put
on a shoe, which is the exact counter
part of a pillow shoe, and a blue wooler
shirt. One of u boys has just got out
of the hospital. The heat is Cypress
i've; many fall in the ranks while Oh

honestly cay / am contented. All the
boys of the Third send their best
wishes. Be sure and answer, doctor
remain your friend,

therefore, be it
Resolved: First, That in his death
we realize that his family has suffered
an irreparable loss, his community
has lost an honest and useful neighbor
and citizen and his camp an estimable
member.
Second, That we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved wife and children
and commend them to the care OF
Him who has promised to care for the
| widow and the orphan.
Third, That these resolutions be
preserved on the minutes Of our
