better January closing points higher,
at 5,SSc. Damage from the Texas floods
appears greater than was first supposed,
one estimate going up to 10000 bales,
which. however, the trade is yet far from
ready to accept as plausible. Still it must
be admitted that crop accounts, gener-
ally speaking, are distinctly less favor
able than they were two weeks ago.
Throughout the Eastern section, present
conditions of afternoon rains. with broil-
ing morning suns, are sure to soon result
in serious complaints of shedding.
The rapid reduction of the visible sup
ply is another factor of strength, although
Liverpool continues sluggish, owing to
British politics and finances After all
crop prospects are the chief influence

liant from now on. The bureau report

July average and may give some stimulus

Wheat, while variable was mostly
weaker, and closed about &c lower. July

more favorable, and as an abundant
spring wheat crop becomes assured, prices
are likely to weaken further.
Provisions took an up-turn, with signs
of some little squeeze in July. July ribs
closed 20 points higher; September, 10
points higher, at $5.05. With yellow fever

THE LATE BISHOP NEWMAN.
Some "Reminiscences of n Newspaper
Man Respecting Him.

Victor Smith. in New York Press.
Bishop Newman used to do some tall
talking in the old Iron Church" More
peop!e went there TO laugh than to pray.
There was plenty of religion in the church,
but not a vast deal Of piety. Newman was
nearly brilliant one day a reporter, un,
assigned, heard him preach, and, thinking
that his paper would like half a column
or so, sent down the cream of what was
said. 1t appeared on Monday Newman
was crazy He hurried TO the editor and
wanted the reporter discharged at once.
He had been made a fool OF. He never
said snch things as were quoted against
him He must have satisfaction. He was
in earnest He even threa tened 90 sue.
The reporter received orders from his
chief that if he ever dared voluntarily re-
mort another sermon he would be instantly
discharged He was disciplined TO the ex-
tent of receiving no assignment for two
weeks In the meantime he went to New
man with the published report Of the SER
mon. and forced the preacher TO go over
f. sentence by sentence, with him. and
to noiut out such as he had uttered and
such a were Manufactured. After q lone
chat Newman sad he had been hasty;
that he believed he had said everything
that was printed that he had been taken
to task by some Of his congregation for
the publication, and. without giving the
matter serious attention, he went in an
ger TO the editor and demanded the report
er's discharge. And so it was settled He

friends. and later the pastor had cppor-

Newman or any other person connected
with the sick room more than the slight
est hint that there actually had been a
dream, and a very strange one. The mat
ter was too sacred to be discussed. The
smartest men on the press competed for a
beat" but all failed until Newman's
young friend called on him at his apart
ment and pressed him for the recital Aft
er two hours hard teasing the bishop
yielded 80 far as to authorize his friend TO
Newman, would like to have the dream
told to this reporter and to no other; that

of such a nature that he could not speak
himself.
The approach to Senator Chaffee's pri-
vate. apartments in the st. Cloud Hotel
was through acres of empty Champagne
bottles. Hundreds of dozens were pied
against the walls of his ante-room. When
the reporter reached him he evidently had
just empted quart for he was in a Jolly
and mining camp mood. Newman sent
you here, did he? Damned old fool! Why
didn't he tell you himself? Nothing in he
damned dream, anyway. We all have
dreams. Nothing in EN- except ghosts to

on in his cursory way, and ended by tell
ing the whole dream. The reporters pa

morning about Grants inability 10 pass up

with him, and how he went barefooted
