PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July 3.-After an early
advance Of Zee to-day, wheat turned
weak on heavy country offerings and
closed with a net decline Of &c. Corn
ruled independently strong and closed
Nc higher. Oats lost hc. Provisions
ruled active and surprisingly strong.
Pork advanced zoe. Lard 121Ac and
ribs 15c.
Wheat opened unchanged to Bc high
er, at 73%@73Ac for September. Trad
ers were inclined to avoid new COM
initials to either side. in view of the
government crop report ue next Mon
day. Reports from North Dakota to
the effect that a scourge Of grasshop-
pers was feared stimulated some buy
ing, but the bulls appeared eak-kneed
and after getting September UP to 74hc
there was a grand rush to secure prof
it's. Selling orders poured in from the
northwest, from whence buying orders
should naturally have originated, had
there been any substantial fears of dam
age from ""hoppers." The market be-
came greatly congested and half an
hour before the close September slid
off to 73Ac. The close was only a
shade above the lowest, at 1874 @733sc.
Primary receipts, while still extreme
ly heavy, showed a steady falling off.
They were 682, 600 bushels to-day, COM
Chicago received SO cars compared with
II a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
got 366 cars compared with SO last year.
Atlantic port c~learances footed up only
260, 900 bushels, wheat and -four.
Corn ruled firm, influenced principal
ly by the strength in provisions. Local
receipts were 500 cars. Crop reports
were generally favorable. Total ex-
ports for the week of over four million
bushels, more than twice the amount
exported the same week of last year,
helped strengthen the market. Septem-
Der opened steady, at 1880, advanced
to SAC and closed at $3.50, a net gain
of nc.
Oats ruled dull and featureless. Cash
demand was extremely light and check
ed speculation. Receipts were 267 cars.
September opened Ac lower at 20%c,
sold up to 21c and closed at 20Ac.
Provisions were active and strong
from start to finish. An advance OF
10c in hogs and at the yards stimulated
buyers in all departments at the open
ing. Great Improvement was reported
in the cash demand, both domestic and
foreign. September pork opened 7hc
higher, at SS.62kc, advanced to $S.771a
and closed at $S.75, a net gain of zoe.
September lard opened 21&c higher at
$5.25, advanced to s5.37h, and closed
at $5.35, a net gain of 12Ac. Septem-
Der ribs opened sc higher at S4.95, adj
vanced to $50 and closed at $5.05, a
net gain of 15c.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat 1876 cars; corn 610 cars; oats
223 cars; hogs 10000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

SILVER.

Bradstreets.
The silver market continues to pre-
sent the same sluggish but firm condi-
ton which has prevailed for many
successive weeks. No factors calcu-
lated to influence either the quotations
or the current supplies and demand
are in sight. Some attention is, how
ever, paid to the reports that owing to
the rise in the price Of copper, Which
has seriously affected the coinage OF
the Chinese empire, the government CT
that country is considering the estab-
Iishment of a silver subsidiary coinage
to take the place of the copper cash
which constitute the common %circulat-
ing medium of China. Silver prices,
as will be seen below, have been steady
and advanced fractionally toward the
end of the week.

Br2dstreetS.
The market shows more strength,
with a fair demand and prices higher.
Good lines of fine medium and fine ter
ritory woods are about one cent higher
in the grease, making the secured cost
about 4S@50 cents, while choice stable
lines are quotable at 52@54 cents.
| Manufacturers are taking some woods
at the advance, but dealers are quick
to pick up any lots at anything off in
price, and this makes the principal ac-
tivity. The London wool sale shows
fine woods about 7h@10 per cent. above
the close of the previous sale, and the
feeling is that American fine woods
will be bought quite freely in London
before the fall season is over. Ad-
vices from the west note very high
prices paid for the new clips there, and
the woods are cleaning up fast. Sales
in Boston for the week foot up $500, 900
pounds domestic, including $4,000
pounds territory, Texas, California and
Oregon, and about 1000, 600 pounds for
eign, including 100000 pounds Aus
tralian.

DRY GOODS.
BradStreetS

Bradstreets.
The past week has been a quiet one,
owing tt the holiday and ending of the
half-year, with its usual stock-taking.
Conditions are firm, however, and the
outlook is good. Cotton fabrics are in
a strong position, with the mills out
put largely under contract for many
months to come. This is particularly
so with gray goods, which are largely
sold ahead. Finished cottons are firm,
and the strength of gray goods should
force values yet higher. Printed fab
RIGS are quiet, but the market is firm,
while ginghams hold in a strong posi-
ton. Dress woolens are well ordered
for fall, but present movement is quiet.
Mems wear woolens are firm, with the
tendency toward higher prices, in
sympathy with the increased cost Of
wool.

CENTRAL PACIFIC BONDS.
An Early Adjustment of the Indebted
ness Expected

New YORK, Jan. 17.-Current reports re-
garding the possibility of an early adjust
ment of the Central Pacific railroad in
debtedness to the United States govern
ment have developed considerable interest
IN the shares of the company. which have
been prominent feature in stock mar
ket operations. Various committees have
been authorized by security holders of the
company, which include the first
mortgage, the gold SIS and
stockholders representatives. Negotia-
tons looking to a settlement of the ques-
ton are pending with the government
commission and in some quarters it is ex-
pected an early solution will be reached.
The foreign stockholders committee is
composed of two rival interests. the certi-
hcates of the Banbury committee being
actively dealt in on the London exchange
The wide disparity in quotations of this
stock in the London and New York mar
kets is due in part to the fact that the
foreign certificates are not considered @
good delivery in this exchange. Applica-
tion to list the certificates of the Banbury
committee, representing $780, 900 shares has
been denied by the listing committee of
the New York stock exchange.

that no canal would be built even if the
bill We're passed, and that the only
thing that could be accomplished would
be the payment of $1,000, 900 to the pro-
motors of the scheme.
He declared that nothing practical
had been accomplished by the Maritime
Canal company, and the members had
done nothing since 1889 but importune
congress to pay them an immense
amount of money for nothing. He said
that it ought to be provided, if the coun-
try was to go on with the subject, that
the United States should secure from
the canal company its property at a
fair valuation in cash, and not a cent
more should be paid. The amendment
was adopted without division, Mr.. Nor
gan Withdrawing his objection to it.
Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana then offered
as an amendment to the Morgan bill his
bill for the construction of the canal by
the United States, one feature of which
is the direction to the president to Sc
cure the abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty.
Then. at ESQ p. M, on motion of Mr..
Carter the senate went into executive
session and at 5:35 p. m. adjourned.

feated young Pluto of South Africa, in
the tenth round of what was to have
been twenty round bout. The knock
out came in the shape of a left swing in

ing fleet in Arctic waters last year.
The president tells of the fitting out

trip, and of the overland expedition by
which First Lieutenant David FL, Jar

THE JOINT COMMISSION.
1t Will Take Two Weeks Longer to Con-
clude the Work.

Washington, Jan. 1I-The joint Ameri-
can and Canadian commission was in ses-
sion during the forenoon to-day and after
the commission proper adjourned the sub
committees on the Alaskan boundary and
on bonding privileges went into session.
There are still some minor differences to
be settled on these, as on other subjects,
but the members of the commission ex-
press the opinion that they will be able to
conclude their labors within the next
two weeks They are very close to-
gether on all the questions now and the
opinion is freely expressed that a treaty
covering the numerous questions which
nave so long been a source of vexation
on both sides OF the boundary line will be
the result of the negotiation.
