MINING STOCKS.

Chicago, August IA decrease in
the visible supply to-day, together with
a rally in corn, strengthened wheat.
September closed PC higher and De-
cember rose 1sc. Septmber corn ad-
vanced &c. Oats left off 1sc better.
Pork Is unchaEged lard lost 2h@5c
and ribs are 27zc lower.
Wheat was depressed in the first
part Of the session by the fine progress
being made with the cutting of the
spring wheat and the commencement
already Of the deliveries from the new
crop. Minneapolis received nine cars
new spring wheat and there were about
fifteen carloads offered and sold in the
sample market here. The visible sup
ply decreased $4,000 bushels, compar-
ed with an increase Of 1882, 900 bushels
the corresponding week last year. Pri-
mary market receipts were still much
below those at the similar period of
last year. Shorts grew nervous when
this became known and covered freely.
1t took a strong corn market, however,
to infuse little more buying spirit
into the wheat crowd, and getting that
about an hour from the close, Septem-
Der, which had sold as low as 63Mc, re-
covered to 647sc, about fifteen minutes
from the end Chicago received 1873
cars against 24S last year. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth got PIT cars. all but one
car Of which received at Minneapolis.
The Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and flour were 100000 bushels. Sep

the close December began &c up at
CAS- @G4lac, firmed up to 641ac, de-
clined to 63A @637sc, then advanced
to 64064Ac, the closing figures.
Continuance of rains throughout the
west where draught had been feared
started corn easy. The bullish ardor
suffered in consequence and short sell
ers were embroidered to increase their
lines. The pit was we'll filled with Of
ferings and this. in addition to a rather
tame demand early forced prices off.
Near the close of the session the de-
cline was more than recovered on in
f1uc9tial buying by bulls under the
damage already done. September be-
gan hs@Hc down at 331a033Hc, de-
clined to 32asG32ac, then irmed up
to 331ae asked at the close.
UnfavOraDle crop reports, accompa-
MED with buying orders from the coun-
try caused the frmness in oats. Early
the market was sold off by profession
ais. but later the decline was more than
recovered. September opened sc high

to 20asc. then recovered to 207sc.
Provisions started easy on selling by
packers and ruled dull nearly all day.

Two Million Dollars Worth Of Am
munition Fired by SIMPSONS Fleet
Without Causing Any Damage.

Santiago July ia party of naval
officers anxious to see the effect of the
four or five commandments Of the de-
lenses of the harbor, by the fleet under
Admiral Sampson, made two days
tour of the batteries, finishing their
work to-day. One of them made the
following statement to the Associated
Press correspondent who accompanied
the party:
.'Over two million dollars worth Of
ammunition thrown at the batteries
defending Santiago harbor was abso-
lutely harmless in its effect SO far as
the reducing of the batteries was con-
cerned, and while it may have given
the Spaniards a wholesome respect for
US, it simply bore out the weil-known
fact that it is waste of time and
money to lombard earthworks."
Although our feet had bombarded
three times and the New Orleans alone
once, there was little or no damage
done except the dismounting of an old
gun, the destruction of the lighthouse
and small frame house near The
damage was all done by the dynamite
shells of the Vesuvius and at night.
The shell had landed between the house
and lighthouse and had torn great
hole, completely demolishing the house,
leaving but pile of debris and tore
out the side of the lighthouse.

The gun nearby had evidently been
wrecked by the conclusion. Large guam
titles Of broken American shells could be
found about, and quite a number of big
shells that had not exploded were gather
ed up and put together by the Span:ards.
The majority of the shells landed IN the
earthworks just below the crest of the
hill, showing that the Americans had
fired well, but outside of plowing up the
earth there was no result. When the
shells hit any buildings they created great
havoc and traces of many were visible
on the Moro, and some a. the officers
quarters where immense gaping holes
were torn in the stone work. Old Morro's
drawbridge was shot away and one whole
wing or tower was crumbling from the e.
fects of a 13-nch shell from the Oregon.
