PRODUCE.


CHICAGO, July 26.-Apprehension of
damage by the hot, dry weather pre-
vailing throughout the country
strengthened wheat and corn to-day.
September wheat closed with gain OF
A@3sc and corn &c. Oats closed I'M
changed. Provisions suffered from
liquidation. Pork lost 121a @15c;; lard,
5@71ac, and ribs, 71ac. Wheat started
strong at 71asc and gradually rose to
71a4c, an advance of 1ac over yester-
days close. The strengthening influ-
ences were strong in Liverpool cables,
continued light receipts and unfavor-
able crop advices from the northwest,
where hot winds were said to have in
fiicted a good deal of injury on grow
ing wheat. After th1aSe5t buying rush
was over, however, trade became dull
and September sagged back to 71Ac.
The decline was helped by weakness
at Paris and the alleged splendid out
look of the French crop. While re-
ports of damage TO spring wheat were
numerous, yet there were enough prom
Using a good crop in the aggregate to
make traders cautious. The lack of in
qUiry for cash wheat was another rea-
son for the majority Of traders electing
to await further Developments. The

entire session at the trade, largely Of
a professional character September
closed firm at 715sc. Chicago received
121 cars, eight of which graded con-
tract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 3S5,
compared with 1888 the corresponding
day last week and 119 year ago. The
aggregate western primary markets was
900 bushels, against 100000 last
week and 605,0 900 bushels last year. Ex-
ports of wheat and flour from Atlantic
ports equalled 1000 bushels.
Reports of possible damage from heat
and lack of rain strengthened corn.
Receipts, 70S cars. Primary receipts
were large and clearances rather light.
September opened a shade higher at
32W321Ac, sold sparingly at &c and ad-
vanced to 321Ac at the close.
A good demand from shorts caused a
rally in oats early. but this was all
lost Oh later profit-taking. Receipts,
215 cars. September opened a shade
lower at 1890, advanced to 1875 @19asc,
closed at 191a@195sc.
Large receipts of hogs and lower
prices at the yards weakened provisions.
Selling on stop loss orders was again
feature. On the break packers took
hold freely and part of the decline was
recovered. September pork opened 10
@15c lower at $S.75@S.S0, declined to
$3.50, advanced to $S.S21a and closed
at $S.75@8.771a.
September lard opened SC lower at
$5.3505.371a, rose to $40, and declined
to $5.35 at the close.

Stocks-There was not much change
in the character of the trading in Sc
curities to-day. There was a period
when the market made some show OF
strength in sympathy with an upward
movement in group Of individual
stocks, but violent slump in Ameri-
can Mating was sufficient to put an
end to the rise and wipe cut pretty
much all OF the previous gain Gem

OF strength early and there was a con-
spicuous absorption Of Rock Island,

that st. Louis Southwestern was to be

then absorbed by Rock Island. Pre-
sident Edwin Gould authorized de-
nial that he contemplated selling his
holdings in st. Louis Southwestern.
Tbterances to the same purpOrt by
Rock Island officials were published.
About the same time came disclaimers

violent break of SA in American

THOUGHTFUL WORDS.

our in Bryan's state Of Nebraska, the
Republicans are united and making a
splendid effort to Danish Democratic-P Pop
ul.stc control. They are pushing the
fight, and are neither asking nor receiving
quarters. Judge Reavis male splendid
speech as temporary chairman Of the Re-
publican state convention, and among
other things, in abiding to the war in the
Philippines, used the following eloquent
language, which should be carefully
weighed and considered by every true and
thoughtful citizen Of this great Nation:
Though the war be hideous. there are
things worse than war. Though war be
frightful, through it channels has come
the progress of the world. Though the
Islands in the far East be red with blood,
the result will be civilization where saw
agery exists; Christianity where paganism
abdes; progress where testers decay; a
government of law where anarchy pre-
walls, and the sunlight Of new age
where the shadows of dead century lie. .

direct result of President McKinley's wise
and beneicient rule and that the hog
cholera was caused by the incapacity OF
the last Democratic administration
Shepherdstown Register.
Look here. Harry Snyder, quit your
nonsense. We believe neither of the
above charges. v e do think that somehow
or other the sun shines brighter and the
landscape becomes more beautiful; that
peace and prosperity, and happiness and
comfort, are more manifest under a Re-
publican, than under a Democratic adj
ministration. God moves in mysteri-
Gus way His wonders to perform. But
when it comes to charging hog cholera to
the Democratic administration, we won't
do it, though cholera is an evidence of un-
cleanness, carelessness and neglect. God
knows Cleveland's administration was re-
sponsible for many, many heartaches and
much misery among the people, but as
we are unacquainted with hog cholera
we shall let it remain an open question as
to how it originated.
