CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago, June 26-For few minutes
around the opening in wheat it looked as
if Saturdays sharp decline was to be re-
peated. The same infiuences-heavy re-
ceipts, weak cables and favorable crop
conditions-were present and Influenced
considerable new liquidation. The open
ing in September was at 74ls@7414c, COM
pared with Saturdays closing price of
74lH474ssc. The market broke still further
a. once under heavy selling pressure,
longs liquidating freely and shorts putting
out new lines September touching 1880 on
the decline. Covering by shorts who were
satisfied with their profits and buying
against puts caused a rally. The decline
was SO fast that sellers became too en-
thusiastic, and when, about IL 80, the liqui-
dation of long wheat let up temporarily
the market recovered with a suddenness
that indicated that shorts were oversold.
There was quite little scramble for
time, prices of September advancing to
74ss97434c before noon. The market even
ed up to some extent and the tendency
thereafter was downward.
The news would admit of no other course
when conditions were normal and prices
gradually slipped off to 74a741sc for Sep
TENDER, which was the quotation at the
close.
Corn was fairly active and irregular
The market was weak during the morn
ing on enormous receipts, favorable
weather and the break in wheat. Ele-
vator people were free sellers. The mar
ket later became firm and more than re-
covered the early break and closed hc
higher.
Oats. in common with corn, ruled weak
and lower earlier but when corn adj
vanced oats followed. September closed
Bc higher
Provisions were weak early, owing to
the liberal hog receipts and the conse-
quent liquidation by longs. Excellent
cash demand helped the market later,
nearly all the decline being recovered.
At the close September pork was 21sc
lower, lard shade lower and ribs shade
lower.

The McGiffert Case.

New York, June 26.-The New York
presbytery will meet to-day for the pur-
pose of finishing leftover business, but
the case of Professor McGiffert will not be
touched upon. The presbytery at it's last
meeting, acting upon its message from the
general assembly, have postponed the case
until later. A committee was appointed
to wait upon Professor McGiffert and to
report Nov. Is. and nothing will be done
until this committee reports. The inves-
tigating body has not as yet met, and as
most of the members are now away from
the city it is understood that the in
quiry will not begin until towards fall. 1t
is rumored that Dr. McGiffert, rather than
face the notoriety of a trial for heresy,
will leave the Presbyterian church to Join
the Congregational denomination. DR.
Robert f. Sample, however, said he doubt
ed if Professor McGiffert had any such
intention.
1.-The professor" he said, sin his works
as a historian. l understand, did not adj
vance those writings as being his own
personal opinion. That much, / think,
was made clear in his letter to the gen.
eral assembly but of course until he ap-
pears before the committee 1t is impossi-
BILE to say whether DR.. McGiffert's belief
differs with the orthodox faith of the
Presbyterian church"
Although the committee Is stated to
have been formed of strongly conserva-
tive members, it is apparent from Dr.
Samples remarks that the examina ton
will not be conducted in any prejudiced or
narrow spirit.

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, June 26.-The opening in
jump in prices and something like rush
to buy, which spread rapidly through
the whole railroad list. In due course of
time number Of industrials also showed
strength. When this development be-
came obvious the railroads paused in their
advance as though to shake off the fol-
lowing of industrial stocks. Acute weak
ness in the local traction stocks, Steel &
Wire and the tobacco stocks checked the
advance.
The railroads held firm for a time, but
before the day was over the bullish en-
thusiasm had somewhat expended itself
and the closing dealings showed rather
easy tone, with railroads below the best.
The movement in the Vanderbilts was by
far the most conspicuous of the day, and
was. of course, based on the reported
lease of the Boston & Albany by the
New York Central for term of SO years.
The ramifications of the Vanderbilt prop
critics are SO vast and the possibilities of
consolidation SO important that a move-
ment in these stocks is always certain to
have stimulating effect on the whole
railroad list, and the Vanderbilt group is
very likely to be picked out for manipula-
tion by operators for rise.
AS the floating supply of these stocks is
not large, such manipulation is not so diff
hcult as 1t might seem. New York Cen
trail was at one time to-day UP points,
but 1t lost l point on the failure of the Of
fcial confirmation. or even admission, Of
the correctness of the Boston & Albany
report This. together with further en-
gagements of gold for export, was the
important influence in the reactionary
tendency throughout the day.
Chicago Northwestern, Omaha, Union
Pacific and Oregon Short Line securities
all responded sharply in sympathy with
New York Centrafs strength. The weak
ness Of the New York traction stocks to-
day was due to rumors of approaching la
Dor troubles. Sugar and a few other spe-
cialties showed early strength. but the in
dustrials. with few exceptions, yielded be-
fore the close.
Good reports of current railroad earn
ings. especially in the West and South
west, were factors in the strength of
railroads. Decreases in operating ex-
perses of Southwestern railroads was
