without the aid of artificial oxygen.
The condition of Rudyard Kipling was
very much improved last night The

PoNTIFF Is RESTING QUIETLY.
No Apprehension Unless Complication,
Should Make Their Annearance

1t was ascertained on inquiry at the
Vatican al late hour last evening that
the pope was resting TRANQUILITY. The
wound continued healthy and the pain
| had diminished. After the operation, it
appears, the weakness due TO loss of
| blood became extreme and his holiness
lost consciousness and muttered unin-
telligible Latin phrases. Cordials. broths
and champagne were administered with
good effect. DR.. Lapponi left the Vati-
can for short time about midnight. He
then seemed very hopeful. The pope
had always concealed the existence of
the tumor. When Drs.- Mazzoni and
Lapponi left the pope's apartments at
3 p. m. they expressed satisfaction at
the condition of his holiness. They said
his temperature was 99.5.
The stream of callers continues. and
sincere sympathy is shown in all circles,
Italian as we'll as papal. DR.. Lapponi
again slept a the Vatican. During the
operation the pope asked his private
chaplain. Father Angel. to say mass.
After the surgeons had completed their
task he was in excellent spirits and even
jOked with them. At 6 p. M Drs. MAJ
zoni and LappCni again visited him and
found that the pain caused by the op-
Grafton had so far abated as to allow his
holiness to lie on his back. At that hour
his temperature was lower and his gen
eral condition satisfactory.
Unless complications of which there is
no apprehension should set in the doc
tors have no fears. The semi-official
Vatican organs in their details OF the ill
ness of the pope warn the public against
exaggerated statements published in
certain quarters. The physicians assure
the public that the official bulletins re-
garding the popes condition will be
Scrupulously accurate. The physicians
according to Italie. are anxious about
the weakening effects of the dysentery
but if the pope has a good night there
is every reason. in their Judgment, to
look for a rapid recovery

PRODUCE.

Chicago, May 25.-Wheat to-day was
the strongest in several weeks, July
closing with a gain Of 13sc. The adj
vance was based principally on the
alarm over the crop outlook. Corn
and oats declined b@Hc each. Pork
lest 75ac and lard and ribs sc eacA.
A rush Of shorts to cover, owing to
uontimlal bad crop reports, strong
cables and bullish summary, started
wheat fully cent higher than lasS
nights close. The market was kept
from a further advance, however, dur
ing the first two hours by the guam
. tity Of long wheat for sale, but when
it was finally all absorbed and more
demanded, the market took another
sharp upturn and remained strong I'M
til the close. European crop claims
were c1lamitous and added to the ad-
vance. July opened B011sc higher
at 76076Mc, held steady at 1850, &C.
clined slowly to 751ac, rose quickly to
7G34c, and closed with buyers at 7612c.
Chicago received 43 cars, two of
which were gradad contract Minreap-
oils and Duluth got 347 cars, COM
pared with 36S for the same day last
year. The aggregate at western pri-
mary markets was SEQ bushels,
against S20,0 bushels a year ago.
Atlantic port clearanees in wheat and
-four equalled $4,000 bushels, Ar
gentine shipments to Europe for Che
week amounted to 2,208,00 bushels.
Cash demand was slow.
Corn declined under heavy realiz-
ing, influenced by favorable weather
and slack cash demand. Receipts, 1877
cars. July opened 1sc higher at S31s
0335sc, and declined to 39Ac at tae
close.
Heavy receipts, favorable crop re-
ports and an exceedingly poor cash de-
mand weakened cats. Receipts, 40S
cars July started shade higher at
231a@239sc, sold sparingly at 935sc,
declined to 2SEc, and closed at 23A @
232sc.
Too many hogs burdened the pro-
vision market. July pork opened so
&c lower at sS.15@S.171a, advanced to
$500 declined to SSt21a and closed at
SS15. Lard and ribs were dull, with
fluctuations small.
| Estimated receipts for Friday:
Grain, none; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
