Chicago July S.-Wheat was weak to-day not
withstanding the receipt of much news that in a
dlferent temper of the crowd might have been the
basis for an important advance. The California
crop, according to San Francisco advices will not
be more than half of what it promised month
ago. but that only means about 100000 reduc-
ton of the entire cOuntrys yield and was inefec-
tive in the face of the declining prices for
wheat Minneapolis had a sample of wheat affect
ed by black rust but it would be nothing for an
industrious searcher TO get something in that red
rust painted country that might pass for the more
viruent kind without being or the really harmful
sort July wheat closed 17sc down and September
at decline of 1c. Corn was easier, and closed
weak and &c lower for old July and 2sc down for
September. Oats lost 14c- Provisions were strong
for pork and ribs. and even lard in the end had
sharp recovery.
The wheat market opened firm. but later became
weak on account of plenty being offered for sale
due TO the prospects of more favorable weather

500 bushels. July closed the bottom 327lc:
the highest was $3.50. September sold from 3lS4c
down to 3l9sc closing at the latter price
provisions this week showed losses down the
whole list. Liquidation of long holdings has been
the principal cause of the decline Prices to-day

MAY NOT ENJoIN ARCANUM COUNCIL
Head of Brooklyn Committee Thinks That

Hugo Hirsch, the BROOKLYN lawyer who heads the

reasons for the increased rates in that body, said
Yesterday that. in his opinion. the Supreme Council
could not enjoned fTor: increasing the rates and
cited the case OF a certain Catholic organization
with an assurance clause in it's constitution which
had a similar trouble some time ago and failed to
get injunction against the supreme body.
Il do not believe" he said. that the supreme
body can be eniolned. IL has been attempted here
tofore but has been proved 10 be bad for the
organization In every way. Benevolent and fra
4ernaI organizations should. above all things, try
10 have harmony in their ranks. Such a proceeding
would only tend make the III ceiling spread We

Nv opinion is that a $40 nat rate for each member
