Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, May 2o.-The wheat market man ifested considerable activity today and after rather an unsettled session July closed h4Ac higher. July corn was up hc, oats were %c higher. while September provisions closed from a shade lower to Sc higher.
 Opening prices in the wheat pit were steady on firm cables and small receipts, July being unchanged to hc lower at 74ls@74h. Com mission houses had plenty of buying orders early in the day and with offerings limited the market became stronger and July advanced to 74%, but the better prices brought out heavy liquidation by local longs and prices again declined, July receding to 74c. good cash demand later in the day brought about rally and continued reports of damage to the crop in the Southwest also helped in the upturn The close was firm with July hqAc higher at 74Na745A; Clearances of wheat and four were 300. 200 bushels. Primary receipts, Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of lo3 cars. which, with local receipts of l.. none contract made total receipts for the three points IA cars, against 90 last week and lo5 a year ago
 Trading in corn was dull. due to the lack of offerings tan to any other influence, while the undertone was firm due to large extent to the strength in oats and to the small re- ceipts. Commission houses were fair buyers on unfevorable weather reports and the selll- ing was scattered. After ranging between 44Ts and 45h, July closed Mc higher at 44%q45. Local receipts. 99 ,ars. 3 contract.
 Oats ruled strong throughout the entire ses- sion and trading was active on large propor- tions. Shorts were liberal buyers and there was also a good demand from commission houses for investment purposes The senti- ment apparently more buish than ever, the crop prospects being the all-absorbing fea- ture in the situation July closed with a gain of %c at 34%, after cling between 34 and 34M. Local receipts. 75 cars
 In spite of the lower prices for hogs at tho yards and the increased receipts, provisions opened steady and with a fair scattered de mand prices showed little change throughout the day. There was considerable selling by brokers supposed to be for local packers, but the offerings were we'll taken, the demand for lard and ribs being quite noticeable The close steady with September pork Sc higher at SI6 S2h, September lard a shade lower at Se o5Qe o71k, and ribs up a shade at S9. .32is 9e. 35.

A. B, Baxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 TBy PrIvate Wire

NEW YORK. May 2o-The cotton market again excited with first transactions at 26l4 points advance. the crop months being in favor and a very sharp rise in the Liverpool market encouraged the bull contn- gent who appear to be holding a very strong position notwithstanding determined efforts to dislodEe them. Interest in the old crop is for the time being diminishing and there Is talk of an immense short interest in the new crop months and the fact that the crop is mak- ing a start far from brilliant and that some thing may develop later on bv which the yield may be cut down brings in a good deal of support for those positions. Weather news was not regarded deserving much attention today. Selling of old crop was extensive right after the opening and those as well as later months were forced down rapidly the first hour, the former much as 5 points under last nights final figures and the latter to with in 5@6 points. Cables were bullish as to the short supply held by spinners and scarcity oi good grades. The market hardened after the early reaction and the new crop was being supported with a good deal of confidence anC the fact that Liverpool closed 7Gl9 points higher. Port receipts were estimated 5000 against 2.693 last year.

LABOR
STATE CONVENTION.
Meetings now in Progress in Bridge
tOn-ImpOrtant Matters
Discussed.

Two hundred delegates representing
every labor union in the State that is
affiliated with the American Federation
of labor were present yesterday at the
opening of the twenty-ffth annual con-
gress of the New Jersey State Federation
of Labor held in the Cumberland Coun-
ty Court House at Bridgeton.
The convention will be one of the most
important in the history of trades union
ism in New Jersey, and in view of the
large numbers of new organizations add
ed during the past year and the various
new trades represented, it is probable
that each will advance some plea for leg
~islation to promote their respective inter-
ests.
The convention will occupy two or
three days and many important resolu-
lions will be considered. The annual
election of officers will take place just
prior to the closing of the convention.
Secretary Gottleib has announced that
he will not be a cadidaSe for reelection
under any circumstances.

TREATY IS REJECTED
Colombian Senate ThroWSO Out
Canal Ratification.
! GREAT SURPRISE FOR PANAMA.
Proposal to Use the Nicaraguan
Route Is Looked Upon as "a Threat
On the Part of the Unit
ed states.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. An Off
cial dispatch has been received by
Minister Herran, in which it was plain
Iy stated that the canal treaty had
| been rejected by the senate at Bogota.
This confirms the information received
by the state department from Minister
Beaupre.
The rejection of the canal treaty by
the Colombian senate has produced a
tremendous sensation on the isthmuS.
1t was generally believed that the
treaty would pass with some moditica-
tons.
There is good reason to suppose that
the majority of the members of the
senate regard the Spooner amendment
to build a canal by the Nicaragua route
if the Panama route was rejected by
Colombia as a mere threat on the part
of the United States. They are coli
WINGED that the Nicaraguan project is
impossible and that the United States
will again deal with Colombia.
The unanimous rejection of the Pan
anna canal treaty by the senate caused
a profound impression i'll all circles at
Panama. The question on all lips is
what Will become of Panama. The only
consolation the isthnians have is that
the rest of the republic, with exchange
at a very high figure and with an up
ward tendency, will suffer a great deal
more.
1t seems that the government never
expected the treaty to be ratified, and
it was not supported at all i'll the SEN
ate.
General Lucio Nelazco, an old veter-
an and a. distinguished army officer,
has been appointed military command
er of the department of Panama. 1t is
thought that the fears caused by the
rumors of a secession movement Oh the
isthmus may have influenced the APP
continent.

The Board of Representatives of
the Building Trades of New York and
vicinity, representing the unions
which have signed the employers ar
bitration agreement, met Friday in
Curran's Hall, Eighty-sixth street and
Third avenue New York. A letter
was read from the Electrical Workers
Union saying that it had decided to
demand that its business agents be
recognized by employers in their
official capacity as representatives of
the union. This, however, did not
apply to sympathetic strikes, which
the union was willing to have settled
in accordance with the arbitration
agreement. A resolution to this effect
was adopted as applying to the entire
board, and a committee was sent to
the Employers Association.
The employers not only agreed to
give these business agents power to
enter buildings but also promised to
provide cards for them emitting them
to such admission.
About 60, 900 men of the 100, 600
originally affected by the shutdown
in the building trades are now said to
be working.
