TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis. Aug. 5.-Wheat: What
few"bull points there were this morn
ing We're totally lost sight OF resulting
in the best prices being recorded at the
opening. The cables following
double holiday were surprisingly
strong and throughout the session held
a full Nc advance. Bradstreets showed
decrease of 2.152,OOO which tempo-
ral1ly checked the selling pressure but
receipts were excessive and all markets
were unbearably burdened Private
elevator stocks also showed an increase
OF oo3,OOO and demand at seaboard less
urgent. Crop prospects continue of
highest standard and with outside in
terests holding back for at least 65 for
the December. 1t will later deveI,p
into bull market on covering by the
shorts or else there will be many tired
holders who will throw good line into
the pit, which will mean a further
slump. Should the latter occur. we
would consider purchases on a scale
prudent.
Corn: The same manipulation in
the corn as has made this wheat more
attractive than wheat conditions. Re-
celpts were II cars under the estimate
being 50, seven of WHICH graded con-
tract. Cables were nearl'' afpenny I'D
at the close and after receding sharp
ly in sympathy with wheat recovered
all lost ground easily. The possibil-
ity of not winds in Kansas are being
ridiculed, but it is more than probable
that the balance of this month will
suffer excessive heat and much dam
age can be done.
Oats were less active today. Con-
sidering the receipts of BIC cars 50 of
contract grade, the market shows srlffi-
'cient flrmness to justify the theory
that insiders are accepting offerings
very freely and another sharp upturn
is most probable on short notice
Provisions have held their own. The
run of hogs at the principal packing
centers were light with prices better.
There is no apparent pressure now
from longs as their holdings have been
margined we'll down the line, and
those who are not peddling out small
quantities now, will by exercising pa
tience be able to market above the
SIT 90 mark.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-All the features of
an epidemic of typhoid fever have ap-
peared in Chicago. In the Cook coun-
ty hospital there are 151 patients suf-
fering from the disease. Seven pa
tients out of a total of forty admitted
on Friday had typhoid, and Saturday
twelve more typhoid patients were re.
ceived.
There are eighteen cases at the

The weekly reports of the health de-
partment show a total of sixteen
deaths from typhoid during last week.
The outbreak of typhoid is thought
to be due to the long eontinued rains
during May, June and July. Impure
drinking water, produced by the con
stant flushing of the sewers and the
streets in the heavy thunder storms,
is said to be responsible for q great
number OF cases. n

TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES.
Colombian and Nicaraguan Ministers
Begin Negotiations.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Negotiations
have been opened in Washington for
the establishment of an entente cor
dale between the governments of Co.
lombia and Nicaragua. Ministers
Concha Of Colombia and Corea of
Nicaragua are carrying on the negotia-
tlons. The move grows out of the sus-
plclon with which these two countries
have viewed each other Of late. Co.
lombia has asserted that Nicaragua is
responsible for much of the trouble
on the 1sthmus of Panama; that expe-
dltlons have formed on Nicaraguan
soil and that the Nicaraguan port of
Corlnto is base of revolutionary op-
erations against Colombia. There have
been strong intimations that Colombia
would adopt counter steps by an inva-
sion of Nicaraguan soil.
Now, however, there are good pros
poets that the negotiations opened in
Washington will lead to mutual expla-
nations and apologies and to an agree
ment by which each will rigidly re-
spect the laws of neutrality and the
rights of the other.

OATS CORNER INJUNcTIoN.
Batch Of TWenty-nine More Issued at
: Chicago. m

Chicago. 81
Chicago, Aug. 5.-Judge Chetlain
has issued twenty-nine more injunc-
tions as result of the legal battle
that is being waged over the recent
corner in July oats. At the request
of Waite, Thorburn & Co., the com
plainants in the former Injunction
suits, nineteen bills were issued
against the Bank of Montreal, restrain
ing its officers from paying over mar
gins to as many board of trade firms
to whom the complainants had made
short sales of July oats. There is a
remarkable difference in the nature of
the petition on these bills, however,
from those first granted. The petit
tions this time instead of alleging con-
spiracy toscorner July oats state that
the margins can be paid only by the
illegal use of an authority inequitable
and unjust. Ten Of the injunctions is
sued were at the complaint of Pratt
& Buckley, another board firm.
These latter injunctions are against
individual board firms to prevent them
from collecting margins.
The amount Of money involved in
the Waite -Thorburn cases is about
$4,000; in the others about twice that
sum. w.. =

CONTEMPT Is ALLEGED.
Peter Power Cited to Answer to the
& @@, CHARGE.

New. York, Aug. 5.-Peter Power,
the complainant in the suit against the
directors of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company to restrain them from
turning over the stock of that CON-
pany to the Northern Securities COM
pany, has been served at West Hur-
ley, N. y. with a citation to appear
before Justice Lacombe in the United
States circuit court on Wednesday and
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt of court. The con-
tempt proceedings were the result Of
the failure of George Alfred Lamb,
counsel for Power, to produce his
client for examination before Special
Examiner Mabie, despite the fact that
subpoenaes have been served on Pow
er on three occasions within one week.
Mr.. Lamb has secured several post
ponements Of the hearing on the
ground that Power. was in i'll health.
