the law firm OF Battle G. Marshall. was
attorney for ]. W. McKinnon, sharehold-

witness yesterday at the second hearing
before Arthur Berry. special master APP
pointed to hear testimony concerning the
contention OF a committee of sharehold-
ers OF the Morse bank that its assets have
been dissipated.
Yesterdays hearing. which was held In
Mr.. Berry's Offices, at 80 Broadway,
was for the special purpose OF inquiring
into bill for 1876 presented by j. p.
Fernsler, an expert accountant who es-
sisted Mr.. Marshall in the preparation
OF the suits against the banks directors.
On the ground that Fernsler was a fed

States Attorney. conducted the cross-ex-
animation OF the witness. do you think
that the fee paid Fernsler was enough?'

PRICE MOVEMENT

Wheat and Coffee Decline
Corn Loses an Advance
Oats Steady.

1t was not until some heavy breaks
had been reported from Chicago, Kan
sas City and st. Louis that the local
wheat market responded to the effect OF
the government crop report Of Monday.
and a late rally In July saved some OF
the decline. There was heavy iiquida-
ton in all markets and considerable
bear asgressiveness. AS the govern
ment report allowed for the average de-
terioration between now and harvest, some
dealers figured that as present condi-
lions are likely to be maintained the
total crop is more likely to be 100000
900 bushels than the figures given by
the report Corn was affected in the
late trading by break In Buenos Ayres,

rally on near months In the late trad
ing the market closed at net decline
