CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago, July 2~3.-Continued dry wealth
er started corn strong. nearly every COM
mission house on the floor having buying
orders from the ountry TO execute at
the opening, which was sufficient to start
prices at LIiRc advance over the close
yesterday. Heavy operators. who long ago
made up their minds that corn would
meet with disaster. were conspicuous buy
ers. 1t was insisted that the crop was al
ready seriously damaged. All believers in
that state of affairs pledged their for
tunes as well as their word in support of
their convictions. Shorts took alarm and
added their demand to that of the bulls.
The market held strong from beginning to
end, September closing with a gain of 1lsc
on the day.
Owing to the advance I'm corn and crop
damage reports from Dakota wheat had a
bullish sendoff. September opened at 673sc,

most to do with the heavier feeling that

half hour of the session. July. however,

growing movement of new wheat. for, af-

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Daily Record of Commercial and
Financial Transactions.
NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News-Mining Stocks.
Metal Quotations-wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review of Trade.

New York. July 23.-The dullness of the
stock market was not relieved in the
closing hours of the week, though there
were one or two incidents TO the rest of
the days trading. One was the buying
for London account. This was not large.
but It was influential and was pretty well
distributed through the International list.
Later the local traders took the market
away from the foreigners and bid up the
prices of the Pacific railroad stocks. This
movement grew out of the consultations
reported as having taken place between
the executives of the Canadian Pacific and
the Great Northern and the resulting ru-
mors that the long drawn out dispute be-
tween the transcontinental passenger
roads had been adjusted.
The buying by London i'm the face of the
downward tendency of sterling exchange,
which is already within measurable dis
tance of the gold importing points, was
rather unexpected.
Money continued easy in London. but
1t showed itself sensitive to demands for
gold. The persistent ease i'm exchange is
due as yet to offerings of grain and cot
ton %fiurries, but rates are bound to yield
further as grain and cotton come forward
and the pressure on London is likely to
lead to borrowing in New York or an i'm
port movement of gold.
There was a fair demand for bonds to-
day but prices were not well held. There
was a reaction of q to Ia per cent. In the
price of the new government 3s when is
sued.'
The bank statement reflected continued
operations on account of the government
loan, the decrease in cash being clearly
due to payments of subscriptions into the
sub-treasury. The heavy decrease I'm de-
posts and the contraction i'm loans are
not so easily accounted for. The loan de-
crease was probably due to operations in
government bonds by banks which have
held government deposits. reduction in
which seems clearly indicated.
The latter part of the week witnessed a
greatly increased demand for railroad
bonds at advancing prices.
L. s. 2s have advanced 2 per cent, the
new As a per cent, the SIS coupon q per
cent. and the SIS registered and the old As
coupOn 10 per cent. i'm the bid price.

TO run William Mcdonnell a quarter Of
a mile. He recently defeated McDon-
nell In a half-mile race. Hanson's dis
lance is anything from one TO fifty
miles. When he agreed TO run McDon-
nell half a mile many Of his friends be-
lieved he had come below his distance,
and that he would be defeated. He won
the race, however. and as Mcdonnell
claimed TO have been fouled. and TO
have lost the race unfairly, Hanson Of
fered TO run him a quarter OF a mile
for $50 a side n just to be sociable. A
large crowd gathered at the park to see
the race. Not much betting was done,
though HansOn's hackers were offer
ing 4 to /. The race was the prettiest
ever seen in this camp. Mcdonnell set
the pace. and IL was a hummer. He
is the first mar who ever set the stride
for Hanson, and had he been able TO
hold out he would have won with ease.
When half the distance was covered
Hanson came alongside and for 100
yards the race was a beauty. Hanson
forged ahead slowly. and won out by
about five feet. Though Mcdonnell was
beaten. he ran the best and prettiest
race eve put up against the invincible
Swede. Time OF the race. 81 seconds.

THE WOOL MARKET.
Fowler Brothers Sell a Fine Clip for
IL Ia Cents.

Great Falls, July 2S.-Seventeen and
three-fourths cents was paid for W 'ol
in this market to-day. The clip was
unusually light and fine and we'll
grown, the fieeces averaging ancut sew
IN pounds. There were 43 sacks Of it
belonging to Fowler Bros. ot Pondsra
and the clip was taken by Barra-
clough. While it is the highest price
yet paid in the state. another clip Of
equally fine quality was marketed here
earlier, but owing to the quantity of
spear grass it contained the price was
l cent lower.
The clip of the Chamberlain Sheep
company was divided between Thayer
and B~arraclough, selling in several lots.
The highest price on the clip was 17ls
cents. A part of this clip was from
Halfbreed Lincoln's and brought 16A
cents, which makes the net return per
head over s1.40, and is tn largest re-
turn yet shown this season. y return
of $1.S0 has been reported, but the fig
ures were the result of a Joke put up
on a buyer and were entirely fictitious.
Charles Gray sold A. sacks at 15%
cents and several small clips We're
bought at prices very close to this fig
uro.

Yesterday The Rec Hive, the
large and beautifully arranged
DepartmentsStore of Mr.. K J.
Mitchell, was thro vn open t,
the public. 1t proved to be one
of the most successful openings
ever witnessed in Elizabeth
City. People came from all
parts of the county and the tow j
folks turned out in large mum
bers and from II O'Clock in the
morning to II o'clock at night,
the store was one mass Of NOV
ing humanity. 1t was said by
one gentleman present that
friends met friends yesterday
in the Bee Hive that had not
met since the war" Indeed it
was a mercantile Exposition and
a regular reunion of friends and
acquaintance. The store. be-
yond a doubt. is ahead of any
in the State and would do
credit to any city in America.
1t is conducted OH a cash basis
and is backed by money and
business experience, and We
predict. from now on, greater
progress in the mercantile busi-
