FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
The Three Party Conventions Make
Slow Progress in Their Work.

LINCOLN (Neb), Aug 2.-Nebras-
ka's fusion forces failed to make for
themselves record for industry in their
three State conventions held to-day. Be
ginning shortly after 2 o'clock this
afternoon an evening session found
them hardly well begun, a permanent
organization and appointment of the
customary committees being the sum
total of the work accomplished by the
night session.
An excuse for delay was found in the
fact that the Populists, Democrats and
Free Silver Republicans met in differ
ent parts Of the city, and to make fu-
sion binding it was necessary that Con-
ference Committees should make fire.
Quent trips to and from the respective
halls.
Interest centered largely in the Pop
ulist deliberations, as it was a foregone
conclusion that this branch of the po-
litical family would dictate the terms
on which the triple alliance would be
erected. 1t was nearly o'clock when
the night session began, and two hours
later the report of the Conference Com
mittee on division of the offices among
the three parties was received. 1t rec
commended that the Populists be allowed
to name the head of the ticket (Gev-
ernor), and that such other State off,
GERS as had served acceptably be renom
mated
There was opposition, but the report
was adopted in turn by each conven-
ton. 1t means that the Populists take
every State office except Attorney Gen
eral, which goes to the Democrats
The first formal ballot brought out
seventeen candidates for Governor. w.
A. Poynter of Boone, Populist. leading
in strength in the Populist convention;
John Neville of North Platte. Populist.
with the Free Silver Republicans. while
the Democrats, disregarding the agree
ment Of the conference, cast their solid
vote for Attorney General Smith, a
Democrat.
The second and third ballots were un-
eventful, but the fourth saw the Popu-
lists give Poynter a majority, and he
was declared the nominee Of that con-
vention. About the same time the Free
Silver Republicans veered from Neville
to Poynter. giving a fattering vote,
but declining to make him the unani-
nous choice. The Democrats on the
fourth ballot again cast solid vote for
Smith. AS 1t requires a majority of all
three conventions to intimate, the Dem
ocrats are able to block progress indefi-
nitely.

COMMERCIAL.
THE WHEAT MARKET ALMOST
4. LIFELESS.
Spot Prices Nominal-Choice Mill
ing Would Command
Fancy Figure.

San francisco, Aug. Sd.
During the week flour was reduced 25c
per barrel. The wheat market has been
almost lifeless of late; spot prices are
largely nominal; for choice lot of mill
ing fancy prices would have to be paid; ;
holders are not offering their goods; call
board business has also been very light.
Barley shows but slight fluctuations, trad
ing being very quiet; receipts are not
heavy, yet there is enough for all needs
Oats have been dull for some time; con-
sumers are working stock previously
laid in and trading is of a and-to-mouth
nature Small arrivals of corn; the mar
ket is pot at all active; prices are uR-
changed. Rye has been much neglected
and prices have had a downward ten
dency.
Arrivals of hay have been quite large
during the past few days, but, as hereto
fore, the bulk has been medium and poor
stock; the market has declined during the
week and at present is rather soft. Some
outside hay sun coming in, but it does not
compare with California stock During
the week both bran and middlings de-
clined.
The fruit market is in good shape. All
good stock meets with fair sale. For
canning rfuits the market is quite firm
Fancy pears in bulk will bring $45 per
ton. Peaches bring $35q40 per ton for
freestone, not enough clngs in bulk to
Very few figs Offering. Currants are
hardly worth quoting. The cool weather
is against the sale of watermelons; aver
age receipts are two cars day; no Lodi
melons as yet. The Mexican lines by
the steamer just in are in bad order
Fancy lemons are scarce and higher.
The dried fruit market is firm for new
crop, with prices OH apricots well estap-
lished figures on peaches and prunes are
not settled firmly as yet. Old crop is nom-
inal; not great deal left; old prunes are
nearly cleaned up.
No changes in butter to-day; arrivals
continue above requirements. Eggs are
doing better for all kinds; the supply is
not heavy and the demand is fair.
