Chicago 'Chanqe.

Chicago, July a.-July corners were snuffed out today. Quietly and with lit- tie excitement save that influenced by the injunction against a corner in July standard oats the manipulated deals died in the arms of their projectors. July wheat cut the most spectacular figure by slumping almost cents. The celebrated July corn corner fitted by into history with the closing price 24 cents lower than the high price exacted when the Gates clique was in control July oats, although controlled absolutely by the Patten-Frazier crowd closed unevent- fully, doubtless held down by the fear Of the dreaded possibilities at the hands Of the court when the injunction case comes to be settled. With manipulation largely out of the way and the imitation in price rapidly seeping out other op- tions in grains felt the very bearish ef- feet of big shipments to market low ca- bles, fine weather and heavy sales and consistently declines all around. At the close July wheat was 5ssc lower; Sep tember wheat, %@1c down; July corn. Sc lower; September corn. Ac lower; July oats 1c up and September oats ss@1bc lower. Provisions closed 21kc up to 12lh down.

DAY WITHOUT INTEREST

New York, July S1.-The cotton market opened quiet and steady with prices un- changed to two points higher, the im- provement being due to scattering de- mand from room shorts who were not fully reassured as to the flood situation in Texas. The Liverpool market scored a full response to the advance of Wednes- day here and there were a few English buying orders in evidence But shortly after the call reports that the rains in Texas had ceased and a forecast for gen. eraliy fair weather in that section to- night and tomorrow led to liquidation and brought out some bear pressure. Later news came to hand that flood dam age in Texas had been exaggerated and that generous rains had fallen where needed over the central and eastern por- tons of the cotton country
 Philadelphia selling of August, absence of supporting orders and pressure from several prominent commission houses added to the weakness of the market. Wall Street bears were conspicuous as sellers oil the early session while the south and west offered the distant options on new ventures.
 Early in the afternoon furry of cover ing rallied prices for a brief period but later the whole list again weakened under Wall Street and other selling. The close was barely steady net six to 13 points lower, the latter for September. Total sales were estimated at 100000 bales, well distributed through the list. The final settlement of July contracts was effect ed without ripple of interest

Murph, 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. July 31.--The Texas flood situation this morning was not clear enough to enable the trade to proceed with much confidence. Early prices were shade better on covering of shorts, but business was light. Intense anxiety pre- vailed as to the actual situation in Texas. In some quarters 1t was contended that rains would prove as beneficial as other wise, while best statisticans could not figure a loss by the floods as likely to cut enough figure to prevent Texas rais- ing a crop far in excess of her best, pro- vided killing frost does not come early. The weather may today showed heavy rains in Arkansas, and there has been much needed. Receipts have been swell ing somewhat. and the ports today prom ised to reach 450O as against 2200 last year. Whether this will prove the advance guard of heavy receipts in August re- mains to be seen.
 The short interest is heavy, and such interests are extremely active in att tempting to create bearjsh crop views as

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, July 31.-The sopt cotton market was very dull. There were some few buyers looking about among sample rooms, but they were not anxious to buy and when bidding at all were careful to keep well below board figures; sales 125 bales. Quotations reduced d-16. Futures opened 1 to points above last evening s closing, but that small advantage was quickly lost; prices breaking sharply un- der the dual influence of free selling by Wall Street in the New York market and more favorable weather reports from Texss where there has been a partial ces- sation of rainfall and for which clear weather Is now predicted. Insofar as the weight of the Texas situation Is con- cerned. there appears now to be grow ing belief in the fact that the recent heavy rainfalls in that state have been al- together beneficial, barring of course, the instances wherein small sections of bot tom lands have been overfiowed. At the close the market showed net losses of 10 points on August, g on September and point on the winter months.

Negro Is Consulted.

Though there be no representative
in congress at present of acknOwl-
edged Negro descent, yet it would
seem that the president is not wholly
overlooking the fact that it is due the
race for him as president of the
United States to consult some one of
them as to their wants and needs in
the Southern states. 1t has therefore
occurred to the president that no man
in the South would subcarve the pur-
pose Of representing the colored race
at court as we'll as Booker T. Wash
ington, and he has therefore col-
Guided, it would so appear, to consult
Mr.. Washington On the various polit-
ical appointments to be made in the
South. But recently Prof Washing
ton was at Washington City in close
consultation with the president. and
he had no sooner left when the name
Of prominent Democrat was at once
sent to the senate for confirmation
for federal judgeship, and this was
followed by other appointments, all
Of which it is claimed by those who
seem to know whereof they speak,
that Mr.. Washington is solely respon-
slble for. A more conservative man
could not be found, whether he be
white or black, than Booker T. Wash
ington, and the colored race of the
South should congratulate themselves
and thank their lucky stars that the
president Of the United States has
decided to select so able and conserv-
ative a representative of the race to
advise with MIN on things in which
they are most interested. If Booker
does not succeed in
down the walls of race
prejudice in the South he will Ger
tainly do a great deal toward weak-
ening them, and some man or men
will follow in his footsteps and be
in overthrowing the battle
ments of race prejudice in the South
and restore the Negro to all of the
rights which he once possessed, polit-
ically, financially and otherwise

Under the caption of BLOOD Will
Tell" the Charleston Republican takes
the editor of The Seattle Republican
to task in the following criticism:
There is a colored man in Seattle
named Clayton who edits with some
ability weekly newspaper called
The Republican. His paper has for
a long time assumed an aggressive
position and usually on the side Of
law and order We have watched his
course with considerable. interest, but
no occasion arose until quite recently
to really try the pretentiOns of Mr.
Clayton as to Independent journalism
His opportunity came when Jim Hill
concocted his merger scheme and ar
rayed against his unlawful combine
the great states of Minnesota, Mon
tana and Washington. Mr.. Clayton
sides at once with his master Mr..
Hill, and says in his paper:
The gubernatorial meeting held
in Montana for the purpose of oppos-
ing the Northwest Securities Compa-
MES must be looked upon by Jim Hill
and his associates as the most anus
ing farce of the season. Even if Gov
ernor Van SAINT has a pure motive in
what he has undertaken, he has under
taken something which it will be ut
terly impossible for him to accom-
plish. 1t might be nice idea to push
Mount Rainier over into the bay and
give Seattle and Tacoma more terri
tory, but the man or the men who
would undertake it would be engaged
in very foolish undertaking

the impulse of the moment and as an
admirer of the president, led him to
spring at once upon his assailant
and jeopardize his own life to save
that of the presidents, hence he was
in no wise a fortune hunter The
public being well advised as to these
facts, it was foolish on the part of
Parker to whine about it to the effect
that the politicians were irving TO
rob him of his glory, for it is beyond
the power of any human being, be he
white or black, great or small, to rob
the true hero Of any part of his glory
for any heroic and patriotic deed that
he or she may have done which would
rebound to the lasting welfare of the
general public, especially when the
public is well advised of the facts.
Such things will live in history de-
spite the prejUdices of any race and
likewise despite the nationality of the
person that performs them.

ment, and while it causes no especial
surprise is yet disappointing.
Granted, that the blood of the editor
of this paper has told on him, will our
contemporary please say which blood
it is that has told on him? Such an
explanation is absolutely necessary
for the reason that the blood of the
editor of this paper is pretty badly
mixed up, there perhaps being in his
veins more of the same kind Of blood
of which the editor of the Charleston
Republican is made up than the other.
Now if blood has told in this case,
might it not be his blue blood instead
Of his black blood that has been tell
ing tales out of school? If criticizing
the anti-merger scheme of Jim Hill
be an acknowledgment that Hill is
master" financially speaking, of the
editor of The Seattle Republican. then
it has but followed in the wake of
pretty nearly every other influential
daily and weekly paper in the North
west, yea, even the farmers in con-
vention assembled in the state of Min
nesOta. Again, if it is conclusive
evidence that the editor of this paper
is of servile blood, in short, a colored
man, because he takes no stock in
Governor Van SAINTS pipe dream,
then the same might be applied to
Colonel Blethen and other editors, and
the conclusion would be that they are
all colored men, because, forsooth,
they are favorable to Jim Hill: and
certainly our contemporary is not pre-
pared to pronounce all of these editors
"colored men, for if he does. we sur
mise Br'er Blethen would not take
kindly to being dubbed a coon"
