IPorterfleld * Co.'S telegram
CHICAGO, June 30.-Showers in the
Northwest, with predictions of moro,
caused a weak opening all around, but
commission houses were liberal buyers,
and after the early break there was con-
siderable strength. Later the good reports
from the Kansas crop were effective as a
bearish argument, and the local longs Let
go. This resulted in a 2-cent break. Early
cables were strong. but later grew weak
1t can almost be accepted as a certainty
that the drought is broken and outside of
covering rallies there is not much on which
to bull wheat. July was particularly weak
There was a great market In corn early.
The pit was bullish irrespective of large
receipts. which are believed to be only
temporary, as farmers will be too busy
next week for shipments. In the closIny
hour there was some profit taking ard
corn also sympathized in the wheat weak
ness. 1t is a long while until next crop
deliveries, and the real goods are growing
scarce.

Horses-The marketing of horses this week is
fairly liberal about 225 head having arrived for
the initial sale. The arrivals included quite a
number of good horses, but a larger number OF
small horses and unfinished stock than required.
The attendance OF buyers was fair, but there
seemed 10 be an organized determination among
buyers TO reduce prices Bids in many cases
were far below the expectations OF owners
that tssey were reluctant in transferring their
cousignfnents. and the result was rather slug
gish trade. Finally. however. most of the good
horses sold fully $40 to $40 per head lower, while
others were at sl5d20 lower and there was no
fixed value for common stock. There were very
few sales made high s175. and very large
part OF the supply of medium to good stock sold
at sl00a150, with less desirable kinds at $25q15.

THE INDIAN RUBBER INDUSTRY

People who are interested in rub
Der plantations will find satisfaction
in figures recently compiled by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, show
ing the Importance of the rubber in
dustry.
{ The figures show that more than
80 million pounds of India rubber,
valued at more than 80 million dol
lars, was imported into the United
States last year. In 1890 the guam
tity was only 33 million pounds, in
1880, Is millions, in 1870, 8 millions,
and in 1862, the earliest date at
which it was separately shown in
the import statements, was only 2
126,161 pounds. This very rapidly
grew into the importation of crude
India rubber and is of course due to the
great increase in it's use in manufac-
turing, both as to rubber garments,
shoes, etc, and it's use in machinery
and tires for vehicles. Over 100
million dollars worth of manufact-
ures from India rubber are now turned
out from the factories of the

HORSE BALlls In THE PARADE
Incident Amuses the Observation-Disclosures
from His Address.


Incident Amuses the President-Extract
from His Address.
Baking of a horse hitched to a gun
of one of the artillery companies of
the National Guard caused an embar-
RAISING halt in the parade. The presi-
dent was greatly amused at the antics
of the animal, and applauded the men
who came to the rescue by practically
carrying the gun past the reviewing
stand, horse and all.
The unveiling ceremonies began
with music by the Marine band. The
invocation was offered by Rev. DR.. d.
J. Stafford General Grenyille NJ.
Dodge, president of the, statue COM
mission, gave a brief description Of
the statue and then introduced Will
lam Teeumseh Sherman Thorndyke,
who from the base of the pedestal
pulled a cord and two large national
flags slowly parted, unwilling the
statue of his grandfather. Attached
to the cord was bunch of flowers,
which the little fellow carried to the
stand and presented to the president,
who congratulated him warmly.
The president was introduced by
General Dodge. AS he arose the vet
Grams gave him round after round of
cheers. The presidents speech was
frequently interrupted with applause.
Notable paragraphs OF his address
We're the following:
''Among the generals who rose to
high positions as leaders of the vari-
GUS armies in the field are many who
will be remembered in our history as
long as this history itself is remem-
bered. Sheridan, the incarnation of
fiery energy and prowess; Thomas,
far-sighted cool-headed, whose stead
fast courage burned ever highest in
the supreme moment of the crisis; Nc
Clellan, with his extraordinary gift for
organization; Meade, victor in one Of
the decisive battles of all time; Han
cock, type of the true fighting man
among the regulars; Logan, type Of the
true fighting man among the volun-
teers-the names of these and of many
others will endue SO long as our peo-
pie hold sacred the memory of the
fight for Union and for liberty.
High among these chiefs rise the
figures of Grant and of Grants great
lieutenant, Sherman, whose statue here
in the national capital is today to be
unveiled. 1t is not necessary here to
60 over the long roll of Sherman's
mighty feats. They are written large
Throughout the history of the civil
war"
Loud applause marked the close of
the address and then speeches were
made by David B. Henderson, of Iowa;
Charles II. Grosvenor, Of Ohio, and
Thomas J. Henderson, of Illinois, in
behalf of the three army societies, the
ceremonies closing with the benedic-
ton by Bishop Satterlee.
