CHICAGO MARKETS.


CHICAGO, June 1.-THE furry yester-
day seemed to have cleared the atmos-
pilere on the board OF trade, and today
there was nothing TO remind one Of the
disturbance but the lower prices. The
Letter deal was generally considered TO
oe dead and buried. SO far as the trading
ia deferred futures was concerned blu,
the obsequies OF the cash end OF that re-
mArkabie speculation were still to be per-
fscted. Wheat started not far from the
closing prices Of the day before for the
bulk or transactions, although a few sales
were made al nc Improvement. Weak
ness very seen developed. however and
July sold down DC and September and De-
eenaher about lac during the half hours
trading.
1t became rumored during the forenoon
that. besides buying from Letter all the
June whea, the latter had coming to him,
Armour had bought all the cash wheat
held by the young speculatUr in Min
neapolis and Duluth. That gave little
iirIner tone TO the proceedings In the pit.
The gathering strength was increased
when the ruInor received the substantial
confirmation of the president OF the HliA
rsois Trust ard Savings bank. To cpm-
plete the bullish combination. the weather
was still wet in Texas, where much of the
wheat Is in shock, and ii rainsd heavily in
Kansas and other Western states. where
wheat-cutt.ng has commenced. Liverpool
contributed a further item of bulishness
by cabling that the wheat throughout
East Central Russia was. threatened with
total failure from drouth, and that the
worst was probable unless rain relieved
the situation within week.
The Liverpool quotations, however. were
anything burt buiiish. giving clear indica-
tlons of the abandonment OF a threatened
July corner In that market. July wheat
there was Is 81 per GENITAL or the equiva
lent OF isc bushel lower this morning
than /; closed yesterday, but September
was only the equivalent of INC and De-
cember sac bushei lower. July at Liv-
erpool had recovered about eG a bushel
of its early loss before the close. July
closed with loss OF lac and September
iac lower.
The continued showery weathe- and the
more settled feeling In tho wheat pit Gre
ated a firm tone in corn. July closed
unchanged.
After weak start, oats firrned up on
reports of wet weather. Prices at one
time showed q slight advance. The close
was unchanged from yesterday.
Reports Of an improvement, in the ye.low
fever situation IN Mississippi. together
with Igh, receipt of hogs ana higher
prices at the yards, had a strong fntiu-
ence on provisions at the start. The
market reacted later on selling by Eng
lish packing concerns. Swift was also
seller Pork lost fsisc and ribs 2i2e.
Lard closed unchanged.

o'clock. AT Spanish Lake, fifteen miles

thirty citizens of ST. Louis boarded the

side of Market street, facing the station
and extending along its entire length.
When the Presidents carriage Wheel
ed into Market street, the veterans of
Santiago presented arms. and the Inn
mense throng that lined both sides of
the thoroughfare broke into cheers.
The President was kept busy respond
ing to the noisy welcome.
At the Southern hotel, Mckinley re-
viewed the parade. He was much i'm
pressed with the appearance of the
Twelfth United States Infantry, and
battery E, First United States Artillery,
the organizations that took an active
part in the campaign before Santiago
and stormed the heights at Ell Caney.
After the review, the general public
was given an opportunity to pass be-
| fore the chief executive.
At noon the President spoke to 1900
people in the hall of the Merchants ex-
change. He congratulated his hearers
upon the good feeling and splendid
spirit everywhere found throughout
the country, and upon the splendid out
look for business. For five full minutes
applause followed the address. This
afternoon the party drove through the
city.

Shafter Speaks.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-General Shafter,
in an interview regarding the Santiago
campaign says concerning the sugges-
tion that the landing should have been
at Aguadores: ANY commanding
general who would have landed his
troops at Aguadorss, In preference to
Baic uiri, ought to he court martialed
and shot for incompetency. 1t was not
a good beach on which to land. The
ground was impracticable, if not i'm
penetrable. Had I landed at Aguado-
res and invested Santiago, the Spanish
would have had road over which they
could have retrsated If they desired

all along the line, and We went up that
hill with whoop and yell, and sent
the Spaniards rushing for cover behind
their second line of entrsnchments.
-Four regiments got mixed up in that

bilious for Sex or Country.

PEKIN, Oct. 1.-THE new Italian
Minister, Signor Martino. has arrived
and demands the customary audience
with the emperor. Much interest is
aroused as to the part the dowager
empress will take in the ceremony.
The French minister, Gerard, has
strongly urged the immediate ne
cessity of obtaining the release of the
Frenchman now in the hands of the
Szechuan rebels, and has threatened to
take strong measures, which will in
clude the French troops crossing the
frontier.
The emperor is practically imprison-
ed in the island palace, which is strongly
guarded. Not boat is allowed to land
there, except with the expressed consent
of the dewsger empress.
All DEGREES are issued by the dowager
empress, the last pretense of the en-

following statement: "The Colombian
government has passed decree sus-
pending all relations with Italy. It
guarantees to Italians protection of its
laws and the British legation is charged
