operate Tonopah people are not an
exception TO the above.
You cannot operate a mine over a
nice hardwood directors table a
thousand miles distant from the mine,
unless you have a good man in charge
at the mine. If you have a good
superintendent in charge, don't die
tate operations, but let him run it,
and if you don't think he is a capable
man, get another in his place. A
cheap superintendent is dear at any
price,
The new camp of Tonopah has APP
parently gained the enmity of the
people of Nevada, as all the knock
crs' are out with club to hurt it.
/ We do not believe that all the hard
things said are true, and if the mines
of Tonopah are one -half as rich as
claimed, the people of the camp need
not trouble as to the opinion of any

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Says, and Corn and Oats Show
Weaker Tendency.

CHICAGO, July 28.-Wheat had fairly
good support this morning. and yet the
price sagged. The principal weakening
influence was the large quantities which
came out on stop-loss orders. The sup
port on the other hand was from shorts,
and the heavy buying of the September
option by Armours. Opening prices were
about unchanged. the July starting out
at 74@ and dropping off to 73c. The
September sold first at 71Bd71Ac, cas-
ing back to 705sc, and recovering to tic.
There were rains in about all portions
of the wheat and corn region, more or
less excessive in Missouri. A somewhat
unusual circumstance was that few
buying orders came from this part of the
country. The lower cables were also
somewhat depressing. Receipts were
heavy all round-647 cars at Minneapolis.
Duluth and Chicago, against 499 last
Monday and 517 year ago. out of a
total of 242 cars here, pa were new. St.
Louis and Kansas City had 70T. 900 bush
els, against G35. 900 bushels last week and
76l 900 bushels last year.
Corn -rices also showed an easier ten
dency the July dropping down to 6lc, as
compared with 63c Saturday. The Sep
tember sold early at 59Ac. dropping back
to 573bc, and recovering to 5Slkc. The
December was relatively frmer, opening
Nc lower, at 44Ac and only getting back
to 4452c. Trade was in fair volume, but
the supporting influences were largely
lacking.
Oats-A loss in cats was largely at
tributable to the cash market, where the
receipts were heavy enough to break
prices. standard selIir- bv sample at
5sc. New july which closed Saturday at

tember to 3l7s, as against 33c at the
close of the week. December lost 1c,
selling at 3lc. Offerings were heavy.
particularly from Carringto ton- Patten and
the CudahYs.
The bulls are getting more oats than
they counted on. The inspection depart
ment changed the grade on 100000 BUSH
els of No. white to standard. Oats were
today 3i4 cars. with 20O 900 bushels con-
tract. Estimates tomorrow SO cars, and
are mostly on the market today. The
grading is better, and cash prices have
been let down 3 TO cents, standards

from Sic to 55c, and reacted to SIC. Old

THE COTTON MARKET.
Favorable Crop Eews Sends Prices
Down Generally.

NEW YORK, July rs. - Cotton's de-
preston today was due to disappointing
Liverpool advices, rains in Alabama and
the Mississippi Valley, where they were
needed, the subsistence CT the Texas
floods. and pressure en- September by
spot interests, which were taking In
August and putting out September.
There was also some heayy selling of
January. Wire houses were selling the
noxt crop months and New Orleans and
Europe also sent some selling orders.
In a word. there was more pressure to
sell than to buy and the market showed

Important Developments.

The diversion in Norfolk and West
ern was not sufficient to divert interest
OF the speculative community from two
Developments of the first importance
One was the unanimous adverse criti-
cism OF the plan for readtusting the
capitalization of the Rock Island Com
Pany, and the other the probable future
of the money market as indicated by the
exports of specie last week, the large
expansion in the loans of the banks
Shown by Saturdays statement, the en-
gagement Of 1880, 900 OF gold for ship
ment tomorrow. and the probability that
s., ,000, 600 will be sent out by Thurs
days steamer.
Although the dealings in Rock ISL
and were less than 10000 shares the
maximum decline OF nearly ten points
In the price helped to unsettle the en-
tire list. In the active stocks declines
averaging 1a per cent and In some
cases amounting to 21a points, took
place during the first half of the day
The reactionary movement uncovered a
large number of stop orders, the exc
cution of which helped the decline.
In the afternoon a number OF inter
esting developments took place. The
decision OF the Calumet and Hecla Com
pany to pay a quarterly dividend, the
same as on the previous quarter, was
apparently seized on by some as indi-
cative Of an Improvement actual or
prospective, in the copper industry. In
consequence Amalgamated Copper was
bought on fairly liberal scale that re-
suited in net advance Of 2A points.
