The mairiage at St. Michael's church yesterday morning of M. J. Towey, of Winona, and Miss Margaret, eldest daughter of P. E. Burke Sr., of this city, was a brilliant affair, "and the church was crowded witha fashionable audience. The altar was magnificently decorated with flowers, and the cere- mony was impressively performed by Key. Father M. E. Murphy. The bridal couple were attended by P. E. Burke Jr. and Miss Nell Long, as groomsman and bridesmaid respect- ively. After a wedding breakfast and reception at the residence of the bride's brother, J. F. Burke, of Pine street, Mr, and Mrs. Towey took their depart- ure lor the East. On their return they will reside in Minneapolis. John McCarthy will return to-day from the races at Freeport, whither he went, from Janesville, succeeding at each place in securing additional and desirable horses for the June meeting at Stillwater commencing next Tues- day. Entries are now closed, and the list presents more eood horses and gives assurance of finer sport than was ever before offered in the valley. The Stillwater turnverein will visit their St. Paul brethren next Sunday, traveling the distance by team, the bet- ter to leisurely enjoy themselves. County Treasurer Sam Bloomer, My- ron Shepard, William M. May, F. L. McKusick, A. C. Hospes, Deputy Sher- iff Marty and George A. Oliver, veterans of Company B, First Minnesota, will attend the annual reunion of the com- pany survivors at Winona to-morrow. A wild she bear was killed a night or two ago by Milkman De Mars in a past- ure on the Burkhardt road in Wiscon- sin, two and a half miles from Still- water. The bear, which weighed 280 pounds, had been frequenting the fields of late and had killed and eaten a young calf belonging to De Mars.

The Netta Durant, J. C. Caffrey, Ben Hershey and Louisville left yesterday with rafts for Mississippi river points. The city council instructed the city attorney to notify the water company that if they did not at once resurface the streets where the water mains were laid or lowered a year ago, the city would do the work and hold the com- pany responsible. The contract for laying gutters on North Second street was awarded to C. H. Carli, and on Sixth avenue, Broadway and Hillstreets to Ed McGee. VAILAFTER GREVSTAD. The Editor of the Times and the Catholic Church. To the Editor of the Globe. Since the day that Nicolay Gre vstad severed his connection with the Tri- bune, and was added to the editorial force of the Times, hejhas been industri- ously assailing and misrepresenting Catholics, and making the most exagger- ated and unfounded statements about them on the public school question. I would have noticed him sooner had I not been out of the city. At the time of President Cleveland's visit to Minne- apolis, I took him to task in the Tribune for claiming that the Norsemen were the pioneers of civilization in Europe, and on that occasion he ignominiously failed to prove his vaunting assertions. Several of his ignorant countrymen, perceiving the effect of my comments upon his production, resorted to the despicable method of writing me vile, abusive and anonymous communica- tions of a threatening character, to which I paid no further attention than to consign them to the oblivion of the waste basket. My sole object on the oc- casion was to make a historical correc- tion, and nothing more. 1 conceded that the Scandinavians possessed many fine qualities, but as civilizers, either now or in the past, they were not en- titled to recognition. My criticism had the wholesome effect of muzzling Mr. Grevstad for the nonce, and, though on subsequent occasions he indulged in vainglorious boasting of his race 1 paid no more attention to him. With these preliminary remarks let me extract the followingparagraph from the Times of lSst Monday: "Just as soon as the Catholics with- draw their demand for a share of the fund devoted topublic instruction for the use of their church schools, there will be an end of this antagonism be- tween American institutions and Catho- lic designs." The fact is that no body of ecclesias- tics or laymen have yet demanded from any state in the Union a division of the school fund for Catholic educational purposes. .1am not aware that any in- dividual among the hierchy, clergy or laity has made such a demand. Some may have said that it was burdensome and unfair to tax tliem for the support of schools to which they cannot con- scientiously send their children, but individuals do not represent the sentiment of the entire Catholic body on this or any other question. If Nicolay Grevstad can produce an authoritative statement to thfl effect that Catholics desire the annihilation of our public school system, and have demanded a share of the school fund; or if he knows of any action on the part of American Catholics as a body, from the establish- ment of the republic down to this day, going to show that they are less loyal in their devotion to American interests than are the Scandinavian Lutherans, let him produce it, or cease his misrep- resentation. Quotations from anti- Catholic prints. Scandinavian know- nothings and "tenderfoots 1 ' from the East, who have not yet become West- ernized, will not be considered satis- factory evidence in this matter. Arch- bishop Ireland will address the edu- cational association on this question next month, and he is good Catholic authority on the subject. Nicolay Grevstad can criticise the archbishop to his heart's content, but if he calls him un-American, disloyal and so forth, men of allcreeds in the Northwest will laugh this galvanized American to scorn. Up to this time the Catholics have not defined their position on the school question, and they have a wide scope for individual opinions on this and kindred subjects. Some believe in compulsory education and some do not, but every real Catholic, from Maine to California and from Minnesota to Florida, believes that religious instruc- tion is an essential element in the edu- cation of youth. They know that it does not lie within the province of the state to impart religious instruction in the public schools, as they are at present organized, and hence they support separate schools where this religious instruction can be had. They would hail the day when the school question could be so adjusted as to re- move the double taxation incurred for conscience' sake. All orthodox bodies in this country take the same stand, and would desire a settlement of the question for the same reasons ; and yet such is human nature, and such is re- igious prejudice that men like Nicolay Grevstad will make a target of Catholics o fline at them obloquy and misrepre- sentation for doing only what Protes- tants are doing. As the Times, since the accession of Grevstad on its staff, is a rank know-nothing. anti-Catholic sheet of the most vulgar type, every Catholic in Minneapolis possessing any self-respect willgive it a wide berth, and patronize papers that treat them fairly and justly. Rogek Vail. MINNEAPOLIS. GROCERY CLERKS' PICNIC. Preparations for a Grand Time To- Day at St. Louis Park. The second annual picnic of the grocers' clerks of Minneapolis will occur to-day at St. Louis park, and will undoubtedly be the mammoth affair of its kind of the season. A lengthy pro- gramme of field sports has been &r- --ianged for which hundreds of prizes are offered. Among other features will be the excursion around the lake in the City of St. Louis, which will make two complete trips, starting first at 10 a. m. and making the second trip at 2 p. m. There will be no extra charge for these trips, every one being invited to join. The steamer is furnished by the Red Star Yeast company. A diamond ring has been donated by J. S. Kirk & Co., which will be drawn for inthe evening at the pavilion, each one having re- ceived a numbered coupon with his ticket. The programme is as follows: Guessing contest, free to all, three prizes. Base ball game between city salesmen and grocery clerks, prize to each member of winning nine; throw- ing ball, running bases, biggest in- dividual score, prizes for each.

Train will leave Fourth avenue and Thin street north for the grounds and retur as follows: GOING. RETURN. LEAVE MINNEAPOLIS.

The meeting of the Christian En- deavor society, at St. Louis, is ended, and yesterday morning abont a hundred of the delegates returned home by rail, the balance having started by river. They are loud in their praises of the managers of the affair, and speak high- ly of the entertainment offered them. Minnesota was given the post of honor in the convention hail. Three Minnesota ministers were elected vice presicents, Rev. Dr. Tif- fany and Rev. Dr. Hoyr, of Minneapo- tis: and Rev. Dr. Christie, of St. Paul. John W. Baer, of Rochester, was elected general secretary of the United States for the ensuing year. The next annual convention will be held in Minneapolis. "Old Man" Bartholomew Married. C. L. Bartholomew, of the Evening Tribune's reportorial staff, was united in marriage yesterday afternoon to Miss Ella Henderson, at Monticello, 10. After a short bridal tour they will make their home at 245 East Franklin avenue, and will arrive about July 14. Mr. Bar- tholomew is one of the most earnest and conscientious newspaper workers in Minneapolis journalistic ranks, and his friends will wish him a perpetual "as- signment" of prosperty and happiness through life. A Few Changes Necessary. The crossings cases were not settled yesterday, and there is apparently a hitch in the proceedings. There are still a number of minor changes to be made in the agreement, and Judge Young will probably take it East and submit it to the three trust companies in New York and Philadelphia. Florida's Boy Wiggins. Florida Times-Uuion. Escambia county can boast of a weather prophet to whom Wiggins could not hold a candle. This prophet is a negro boy, seven years of age, who, it is said, makes prophecies about the weather many days ahead, which in nine cases out of ten come true. It is alleged that he is as black as the ace of spades, has red eyes, and lives near Millview, a village on Perdido river, about seven miles West of Jackson- ville.

The Close Was Nearly a Fall Point Higher Than Monday's Figures. Financial Operations of the Money Kings—The General Quo- tations. Chicago, June 17.—Wheat at the opening looked like receiving the kind of treatment which is frequently be- stowed on an unfortunate individual who, being kicked down, everyone seems anxious to have a kick at him. But even the wriggling worm will turn, which the early buyers of July wheat discovered ere the close. It opened at 86c, sold down to 85^0, witli a limited amount of business at 85)^@S5%c, a lit- tle as low as 85^c, but it latterly recov- ered to SG%c and closed at 86% c, or %c higher than yesterday. Albertson, the operator who gained some notoriety through executing the order of Fannie Blinn a year ago, posted a notice that all parties having open trades with him should close them at once. It was esti- mated that he had over 200,000 bu of wheat in his long line, and this came on the market in a way that caused a break of lc from the first figures. But for this the market would have been buoyant from the start. As it was, the trading later caused a very natural and healthful reaction from the unnatural depression of yesterday. There were no lines of long wheat of importance to press on the market, and as scon as the Aluertson wheat was cared for the ad- vance began. There was no startling news of any kiud, but bull points were the most numerous. New York con- firmed the taking of twelve to fifteen boatloads for export late yesterday. The wheat on ocean passage showed a decrease of 1,744,000 bu. for the week. There were buying orders here from London, Liverpool and Antwerp. French cables said that country had too much rain. St. Louis and the Northwest were as quick to buy on the turn as they sold on the decline. Mr. Hutchinson did not help the market up very much, as he sold on the bulges and was satis- fied to scalp by buying on the soft spots. His advice to his customers was to buy wheat on the good bulge which came about noon. Logan & Co., Poole-Sher- man, Dunham & Co., John Lyon and Hutchinson's brokers were all free buy- ers. Cudahy was a buyer of the late 'months. The scalping crowd bought for a reaction and the market took a de- cided up-turn. The activity and strength continued to the close. The market re- ceived most excellent support. July closed %c over last night and l%c over the _ bottom price of the day at 86%c. August, after touching 87c, closed at 86% c also September, 87^'c; Decem- ber, 88)£c. The corn market was in- juriously affected near the opening by the weakness in wheat. Of itself it in-, clined to firmness, and asserted its early predisposition more vigorously toward the close. Closing figures were about }4c higher than yesterday. The oats news was very bullish, and the market closed strong: and }^(«Kc higher. Pro- visions developed no new features. Trading was of the inanimate character recently noted, with prices at the close a shade lower than on Monday.

New York, June 17."— Clearings, $148,-7 548,199; balances, £8,000.051. Money on call easy at 4@4% per cent; last loan, 4, closing offered at 4. Prime mercan- tile paper, 4%@6}-o. Sterling exchange quiet but steady at $4.8534 for sixty-day bills, and 84.87% for demand. The waiting attitude of operators on both sides of the market again resulted in making an intensely dull stock market to-day, which possessed even less feat- ure than that of yesterday. . The little interest which was manifested in Sugar Refineries yesterday seemed to have disappeared entirely, and the trading in that stock was the smallest for any full day for months, while its fluctuations were onan equally limited scale. The transfer books closed to-day for the payment of the recently declared dividend of 2)4 per cent, and the Boston stock exchange was closed to-day, being the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill,and as there was no decision on the sugar case by tiie court of appeals there ; was nothing to base an opinion as to the course of the stock in the future upon. The only real feature in the market to-day was the weakness in Oregon Transcontinental owing to the disfavor with which the circular of stockholders has been re- ceived. The friends of the manage- ment, however, say that the sentiment will not be far reaching and as the merits of the scheme become known the stock will again appreci- ate in value. . The selling to-day was, of the same professional character asusu- al tor the past few days, and the decline is probably the feeling of the market by the bears. The news of the day con- tained the usual installment of advices of rate-cutting and disagreements in the West, but these were fairly offset by the reports of earnings and. the small progress made toward complete har- mony among the roads in that section of the country. The course of the Lal^e Shore, which" has met with so much cen- sure, seems to have only caused a cessa- tion of the late animation in the Van- derbilt stocks, but as that is shared by the entire list, it probably signifies nothing. There was $500,000 more gold taken for export by the same firm which sent the last lot, but no informa- tion as to the character of the shipment could be obtained, other than it goes to Germany and the ; rates of exchange on that point permit it to be niade without loss. It, of course, had its influence in aiding the declines, but the trading was so ; limited that the ef- fect of no one thing counted for much. The traders had the market all to them- selves. The opening was lower, in sympathy with London, and until the last hour there was a slow but steady yielding of values, which, however, only in Oregon Transcontinental reached anything of importance. The shorts ; went into cover late in the day, the re- ports of the progress in making a silver bill helping the advance, and the trusts ; were special strong, Chicago Gas mov- ing up nearly 2 per cent. The close was dull but firm, but still at small frac- tional losses for the day in the great majority of the list. The late recovery . brought up Oregon Transcontinental and it lost only a frac- tion, and the only important final change was the gain of 13£ per cent in Chicago Gas. Railroad bonds were also slightly more active," the total sales being . $926,- --000; but : there was less pronounced character to the market, and the final changes are in but few instances of any importance. St. Paul consols are ! off 2 per cent/Government bonds have been dull and firm. State bonds have been dull and steady. The Post says: "The "UnionPacific's report -of net \u25a0 earnings for the four months to April 81 shows very clearly which are the prosperous parts of its system. The net earnings of the entire 8,036 miles of the whole system were $3,191,241, against $3,055.- --234 in the same period last year on 7,894 miles, lan increase of only $136,006, or 4.4 per cent. The cause of this rather poor showing was in the large decrease of earnings of the Oregon Navigation company, which did not earn its operat- ing expenses - for the four months by $166,820", instead of having net earnings of $352,427, as in the same period of 1889, and consequently shows a ; decrease ' of $419,247. . This, of course,, affected : the earnings of the Oregon Short Line, to which the Oregon Navigation is leased, and the Oregon Short Line earnings for the four months were consequently only 1587,851, against §712,874 in the same time la§t year.. It was only the large earnings of the Union Pacific, Denver <fc Gulf which saved the result of the whole Union Pacific system from being a very bad one. The Union Pacific. Denver &Gulf surplus earnings for four months wore 8440/J7G,against $IGG,SO3 in the same time last year, an increase of 104 per cent The total fixed charges of the Union Pacific, Denver &Gulf for the year are about §1,200,000, and, at the \u25a0rale of surplus earnings for the four snontlis, the company is earning at the : rate of nearly $1,030,000 per annum. This is remarkably good for a newly opened line, and indicates that the $31,- --•151,j)00 of Union Pacific, Denver «fc Gulf stock will pay dividends before any are paid on Union Pacific stock." The total sales of stock to-day were 115,450 shares, including: Atchison, 8,540; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. 3,477; Erie, 8,125; Louisville & Nashville, 4,291; Missouri Pacific, 7.800; Oregon Trans- continental, 17,010; Reading, 0,300.

MOAEAFOOS MARKETS. Chamber of Commerce. \u25a0Wheat was again weak yesterday, with prices lower than at any time before, touch- ing a fraction under 82c for July delivery. Cables came in dull and half penny lower. News was not much different, but the mar- ket was depressed from the break of yester- day. The amount of wheat on passage de- clined 744,000 bu for the week. Business started in a very indifferent way, with few operators trying to do much. The feeilng was that there ought to be some re- action. Wheat damage was supple- mented by a cable from Europe that crop advices from France and Russia are less favorable. July opened here at SlUe bid, but fell quickly to"81%e on a reported failure in Chicago. Later prices rallied to b'3c. : There was some business done in August and September during the early half of the session, with September about "*<^i4c above .1ulyand August, about 1 !fe® Use above July, though the relative positions changed frequently. . Following are the day's closing wheat quo- tations: Grades— 1 hard, June, 83V2C; July, 84c: on track, 86c; No. 1 northern, June, 82c: July. 82% c; September, 83% c; on track, 84c; No. 2 northern, June, 80c; July, 80c; on track, 81c. CASH wheat. " Receipts of wheat for the day were 94 cars ; shipments. 24 cars. In a general way the market was dull owing to the depression in futures and the slow demand tor flour. There was a limited demand from local millers and some inquiry for choice wheat from the out- side, but ordinary lots and off grades were very low. The milters' convenvention was also the cause of more or less neglect ill buy- ing on their part. FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS. Flour—The added daily output of the mills grinding will probably aggregate 8.500 bbls. The market was flat, caused more es- pecially by the fall in wheat yesterday. 1" lour dealers are well satisfied that their conserva- tism has helped them to bridge a dangerous channel. They bought no more than they actually needed in their trade, while wheat fell 12@15c a bu, equal to 50@75c a bbl for flour. It does not appear that they are eager buyers even now. Local millers quoted wide apart.ranging from $1.00 to $5.10 for patents, and bakers [email protected]. Red dog was in pretty good demand for feeding. Shipments, 6,522 bbls. Bran and Shorts— demand for bran was slow at about [email protected]. and some parties asked $8.50. Shorts were scarce, with mid- dlingquoted at $10.50@11. and not much offered. Shipments, 311 tons. C Corn— The demand was slow, with some firmness at 32i&@33c for sound to choice lots o. t. Receipts, 3,060 bu; shipments none. Oats— There was moderate inquiry, with offerings enough to meet it at*G@27cfor mixed; 27@27V2C for white and some choice lots held above. Receipts, 3,600 bu; ship- ments. 9^o bu ' Barley—Nominal at about 30c for stained grain when there is any inquiry. Flax A few bags were about all that of- fered. Quoted at $1.32. Hay—hay was in good request for fine lots. The offerings were mostly poor to good, and ranged at $8.50@1u, a little choice held higher. Receipts, Gti tons. STATE GRAIN INSPECTION— VI NOHT'N.

The general run of the butter trade was only fair. The market is steady, and some houses report the outlook a little better, though the improvement is more noticeaole in the movement than in the price. The cheese market is quiet, with a fair trade, but with receipts of full cream a little too heavy for the demand, there is a disposition to sell at slight concessions from quotations. Brick is weak, though supplies are not large. The egg market is steady but quiet, at IOV2© lie, including cases. Buyers are complaining considerably about find- ing a good many musty eggs.

Cauliflower doesn't sell well. Light receipts of veal and fair de- mand. Market firm. Some fancy calves sold yesterday as high as OV2C. but that price is thought to be above the market. The small arrivals ofmutton yesterday were cleaned up at good prices. Lambs quiet; better inquiry, with the receipts light. Live poultry is quiet, with large receipts. About the best price realized onhens was O^c. A few turkeys were in, but scarcely enough to make a market. Good spring chickens that are fair size are worth $2.75. The straw- berry offerings were lighter than usual, owing to trains being late. A car of lowa berries came on at 9:3 and were in fair con- dition, the best selling at $2.75 for 24 quarts- A good many were a little soft and sold down to $2.25. Some ordinary Nauvoos were selling at [email protected] lor 16 quarts. Raspberries are in small supply and slow. Selling at 52.40 tor 24 pints red. No good black offered.

Chicago, 111., June 17. —There was a lack of firmness to-day iv all branches of the live stock trade. Sup- plies were not unusually full, but there was less than the usual demand.

"What do you do with such people?" the reporter asked of a merchant. "We send them bills for what they take, when we know them. Jf they are strangers we act according tocircum stances. A few days ago a lady was in this store with her daughter— a beauti- ful little girl of twelve years. The child was" seen slipping" a roll of costly ribbon into her satchel. We spoke to the mother, who became indig- nant. She opened the satchel to con- vince us that we were mistaken, when it was found to contain three lace hand* kerchiefs, twu pairs of gloves and the ribbon. Allthese articles had been ap- propriated." "That was a plain case of stealing. W hat did you do?" "We took the things back and said nothing. We can't aftord to arrest wealthy people and injure our trade by makin? enemies among our rich cus- tomers." "You were speaking of sending out bills for stolen goods: are they ever paid?" "Always, where the person is « klepto- maniac. We never have any trouble in that way. 1 have known of stores which, kept a regular list of kleptomaniacs. Whenever they lost anything they sent bills to all of them.

VAILAFTER GREVSTAD.

The Editor of the Times and theCatholic Church.

To the Editor of the Globe.Since the day that Nicolay Gre vstad

severed his connection with the Tri-bune, and was added to the editorialforce of the Times, hejhas been industri-ously assailing and misrepresentingCatholics, and making the most exagger-

ated and unfounded statements aboutthem on the public school question. Iwould have noticed him sooner had Inot been out of the city. At the timeof President Cleveland's visit toMinne-apolis, Itook him to task in the Tribunefor claiming that the Norsemen werethe pioneers of civilization in Europe,and on that occasion he ignominiouslyfailed to prove his vaunting assertions.Several of his ignorant countrymen,perceiving the effect of my commentsupon his production, resorted to thedespicable method of writing me vile,abusive and anonymous communica-tions of a threatening character, towhichIpaid no further attention thanto consign them to the oblivion of thewaste basket. Mysole object on the oc-casion was to make a historical correc-tion, and nothing more. 1 concededthat the Scandinavians possessed manyfine qualities, but as civilizers, eithernow or in the past, they were not en-titled torecognition. My criticism hadthe wholesome effect of muzzlingMr. Grevstad for the nonce, and,though on subsequent occasions heindulged in vainglorious boastingof his race 1paid nomore attention tohim. With these preliminary remarkslet me extract the followingparagraphfrom the Times of lSst Monday:

"Just as soon as the Catholics with-draw their demand for a share of thefund devoted topublic instruction forthe use of their church schools, therewillbe an end of this antagonism be-tween American institutions and Catho-lic designs."

The fact is that nobody of ecclesias-tics or laymen have yet demanded fromany state in the Union a division of theschool fund for Catholic educational

purposes. .1am not aware that any in-dividual among the hierchy, clergy orlaity has made such a demand. Somemay have said that it was burdensomeand unfair totax tliem for the supportof schools to which they cannot con-scientiously send their children,but individuals do not represent thesentiment of the entire Catholic body onthis or any other question. IfNicolayGrevstad can produce an authoritativestatement to thfl effect that Catholicsdesire the annihilation of our publicschool system, and have demanded ashare of the school fund; or ifhe knowsof any action on the part of AmericanCatholics as a body, from the establish-ment of the republic down to this day,going to show that they are less loyalin their devotion to American intereststhan are the Scandinavian Lutherans,

let him produce it,or cease his misrep-resentation. Quotations from anti-Catholic prints. Scandinavian know-nothings and "tenderfoots 1

'from the

East, who have not yet become West-ernized, will not be considered satis-factory evidence in this matter. Arch-bishop Ireland will address the edu-cational association on this questionnext month, and he is good Catholicauthority on the subject. NicolayGrevstad can criticise the archbishopto his heart's content, but if he callshim un-American, disloyal and so forth,

men of allcreeds in the Northwest willlaugh this galvanized American toscorn. Up to this time the Catholicshave not defined their position on theschool question, and they have a widescope for individual opinions on thisand kindred subjects. Some believe incompulsory education and some do not,

but every real Catholic, from Maine to

California and from Minnesota toFlorida, believes that religious instruc-tion is an essential element in the edu-cation of youth. They know that itdoes not lie within the province of thestate to impart religious instructionin the public schools, as they areat present organized, and hence theysupport separate schools where thisreligious instruction can be had. Theywould hail the day when the schoolquestion could be so adjusted as to re-move the double taxation incurred forconscience' sake. All orthodox bodiesin this country take the same stand,

and would desire a settlement of thequestion for the same reasons ;and yetsuch is human nature, and such is re-igious prejudice that men like Nicolay

Grevstad willmake a target of Catholicso fline at them obloquy and misrepre-

sentation for doing only what Protes-tants are doing. As the Times, sincethe accession of Grevstad on its staff,

is a rank know-nothing. anti-Catholicsheet of the most vulgar type, everyCatholic inMinneapolis possessing anyself-respect willgive it a wide berth,

and patronize papers that treat themfairlyand justly. Rogek Vail.

SLUMPED AT THE START.

Wheat Opens Weak and Lower, BntBraces Up at the Eleventh

Honr.

The Close Was Nearly a Fall PointHigher Than Monday's

Figures.

Financial Operations of the MoneyKings—The General Quo-

tations.

Chicago, June 17.—Wheat at theopening looked like receiving the kindof treatment which is frequently be-stowed on an unfortunate individualwho, being kicked down, everyoneseems anxious to have a kick at him.But even the wriggling worm will turn,

which the early buyers of July wheatdiscovered ere the close. It opened at86c, sold down to 85^0, witli a limitedamount of business at 85)^@S5%c, a lit-tle as low as 85^c, but it latterly recov-ered to SG%c and closed at 86%c, or %chigher than yesterday. Albertson, theoperator who gained some notorietythrough executing the order of FannieBlinna year ago, posted a notice that allparties having open trades with himshould close them at once. Itwas esti-mated that he had over 200,000 bu ofwheat in his long line, and this came onthe market in a way that caused abreak of lc from the first figures. Butfor this the market would have beenbuoyant from the start. As it was, thetrading later caused a very natural andhealthful reaction from the unnaturaldepression of yesterday. There wereno lines of long wheat of importance topress on the market, and as scon as theAluertson wheat was cared for the ad-vance began. There was no startlingnews of any kiud, but bull points werethe most numerous. New York con-firmed the taking of twelve to fifteenboatloads for export late yesterday.The wheat on ocean passage showed adecrease of 1,744,000 bu. for the week.There were buying orders here fromLondon,Liverpooland Antwerp. Frenchcables said that country had too muchrain. St. Louis and the Northwestwere as quick to buy on the turn as theysold on the decline. Mr. Hutchinsondid not help the market up very much,as he sold on the bulges and was satis-fied to scalp by buying on the soft spots.

His advice to his customers was tobuywheat on the good bulge which cameabout noon. Logan & Co., Poole-Sher-man, Dunham & Co., John Lyon andHutchinson's brokers were all free buy-ers. Cudahy was a buyer of the late

'months. The scalping crowd boughtfor a reaction and the market took a de-cided up-turn. The activity and strengthcontinued to the close. The market re-ceived most excellent support. Julyclosed %c over last night and l%coverthe_bottom price of the day at 86%c.August, after touching 87c, closed at86% calso September, 87^'c; Decem-ber, 88)£c. The corn market was in-juriously affected near the opening bythe weakness in wheat. Of itself it in-,

clined to firmness, and asserted its early

predisposition more vigorously towardthe close. Closing figures were about}4c higher than yesterday. The oatsnews was very bullish, and the marketclosed strong: and }^(«Kc higher. Pro-visions developed no new features.Trading was of the inanimate characterrecently noted, with prices at the closea shade lower than on Monday.

Thewaiting attitude of operators on bothsides of the market again resulted inmaking an intensely dull stock marketto-day, which possessed even less feat-ure than that of yesterday. . The littleinterest which was manifested in SugarRefineries yesterday seemed to havedisappeared entirely, and the trading

in that stock was the smallestfor any full day for months,while its fluctuations were onan equallylimited scale. The transfer books closedto-day for the payment of the recentlydeclared dividend of 2)4 per cent, andthe Boston stock exchange was closedto-day, being the anniversary of thebattle of Bunker Hill,and as there wasno decision on the sugar case by tiiecourt of appeals there ;was nothing tobase an opinion as to the course of thestock in the future upon. The onlyrealfeature in the market to-day was theweakness in Oregon Transcontinentalowing to the disfavor with which thecircular of stockholders has been re-ceived. The friends of the manage-ment, however, say that the sentimentwill not be far reaching and asthe merits of the scheme becomeknown the stock will again appreci-ate in value. .The selling to-day was,of the same professional character asusu-al tor the past few days, and the declineis probably the feelingof the market bythe bears. The news of the day con-tained the usual installment of advicesof rate-cutting and disagreements inthe West, but these were fairlyoffset bythe reports of earnings and. the smallprogress made toward complete har-mony among the roads in that sectionof the country. The course ofthe Lal^eShore, which"has met withso much cen-sure, seems to have only caused a cessa-tion of the late animation in the Van-derbilt stocks, but as that is shared bythe entire list, it probably signifiesnothing. There was $500,000 moregold taken for export by the same firmwhich sent the last lot, butno informa-tion as to the character of the shipmentcould be obtained, other than itgoes to Germany and the ;rates ofexchange on that point permit itto beniade without loss. It,of course, hadits influence in aiding the declines, butthe trading was so ;limited that the ef-fect of no one thing counted for much.The traders had the market all to them-selves. The opening was lower, insympathy with London, and until thelast hour there was a slow but steadyyielding of values, which, however, onlyin Oregon Transcontinental reachedanything of importance. The shorts ;went intocover late in the day, the re-ports of the progress inmaking a silverbillhelping the advance, and the trusts ;were special strong, Chicago Gas mov-ingup nearly 2 per cent. The close wasdull but firm, but still at small frac-tional losses for the day in thegreat majority of the list. Thelate recovery .brought up OregonTranscontinental and itlost onlya frac-tion, and the only important finalchangewas the gain of 13£ per cent in ChicagoGas. Railroad bonds were also slightlymore active," the total sales being . $926,---000; but :there was less pronouncedcharacter to the market, and the finalchanges are in but few instances of anyimportance. St. Paul consols are!off 2per cent/Government bonds have beendull and firm. State bonds have beendull and steady. The Post says: "The"UnionPacific's report -of net \u25a0 earningsfor the four months to April 81 showsvery clearly which are the prosperousparts of its system. The net earningsof the entire 8,036 miles of the wholesystem were $3,191,241, against $3,055.---234 in the same period last year on 7,894miles,lan increase of only $136,006, or4.4 per cent. The cause of this ratherpoor showing was in the large decreaseofearnings of the Oregon Navigationcompany, which did not earn its operat-ing expenses -

for the four months by$166,820", instead of having net earningsof $352,427, as in the same period of1889,and consequently shows a ;decrease

'of

$419,247. .This, of course,, affected :theearnings of the Oregon Short Line, to

which the Oregon Navigation is leased,

and the Oregon Short Line earnings forthe four months were consequently only1587,851, against §712,874 in the sametime la§t year.. It was only the largeearnings of the Union Pacific, Denver<fc Gulf which saved the result of thewhole Union Pacific system from beinga very bad one. The Union Pacific.Denver &Gulfsurplus earnings for fourmonths wore 8440/J7G,against $IGG,SO3 inthe same time last year, an increase of104 per cent The total fixed charges ofthe Union Pacific, Denver &Gulf forthe year are about §1,200,000, and, at the\u25a0rale of surplus earnings for the foursnontlis, the company is earning at the:rate of nearly $1,030,000 per annum.This is remarkably good for a newlyopened line, and indicates that the $31,---•151,j)00 of Union Pacific, Denver «fc Gulfstock willpay dividends before any arepaid on Union Pacific stock."

MOAEAFOOS MARKETS.

Chamber ofCommerce.\u25a0Wheat was again weak yesterday, with

prices lower than at any time before, touch-ing a fraction under 82c for July delivery.Cables came indull and half penny lower.News was notmuch different, but the mar-ket was depressed from the break of yester-day. The amount of wheat on passage de-clined 744,000 bu for the week. Businessstarted ina very indifferent way, with fewoperators trying to do much. The feeilngwas that there ought to be some re-action. Wheat damage was supple-mented by a cable from Europethat crop advices from France and Russiaare less favorable. July opened here at SlUebid, but fell quickly to"81%e on a reportedfailure in Chicago. Later prices rallied to

b'3c. :There was some business done inAugust and September during the early halfof the session, with September about "*<^i4cabove .1ulyand August, about 1!fe®Use aboveJuly, though the relative positions changedfrequently. .

Following are the day's closing wheat quo-tations: Grades— 1 hard, June, 83V2C;July, 84c: on track, 86c; No. 1 northern,June, 82c: July. 82%c; September, 83%c;on track, 84c; No. 2 northern, June, 80c;July, 80c; on track, 81c.

CASH wheat."

Receipts of wheat for theday were 94 cars ;shipments. 24 cars. In a general way themarket was dull owing to the depression infutures and the slow demand tor flour. Therewas a limited demand from local millers andsome inquiry for choice wheat from the out-side, but ordinary lots and off grades werevery low. The milters' convenvention wasalso the cause of more or less neglect illbuy-ing on their part.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.Flour—The added daily output of the mills

grinding will probably aggregate 8.500bbls. The market was flat, caused more es-pecially by the fallin wheat yesterday. 1"lourdealers are well satisfied that their conserva-tism has helped them to bridge a dangerouschannel. They bought no more than theyactually needed in their trade, while wheatfell12@15c abu, equal to 50@75c a bbl forflour. Itdoes not appear that they are eager

buyers even now. Local millers quoted wideapart.ranging from $1.00 to $5.10 forpatents,and bakers [email protected]. Red dog was inpretty good demand for feeding. Shipments,6,522 bbls.

Dealing With Kleptomaniacs.Lewiston Journal.

"What do you do with such people?"the reporter asked of a merchant.

"We send them bills for what theytake, when we know them. Jf they arestrangers we act according tocircumstances. A few days ago a lady was inthis store with her daughter— a beauti-ful little girl of twelve years. Thechild was" seen slipping" a roll ofcostly ribbon into her satchel. Wespoke to the mother, who became indig-nant. She opened the satchel to con-vince us that we were mistaken, whenit was found to contain three lace hand*kerchiefs, twu pairs of gloves and theribbon. Allthese articles had been ap-propriated."

"That was a plain case of stealing.W hat did you do?"

"We took the things back and saidnothing. We can't aftord to arrestwealthy people and injure our trade bymakin? enemies among our rich cus-tomers."

"You were speaking of sending outbills for stolen goods: are they everpaid?"

"Always, where the person is« klepto-maniac. We never have any trouble inthat way.1have known of stores which,kept a regular list of kleptomaniacs.Whenever they lost anything they sentbills to all of them. As they all settledfor the stolen goods, you can imaginethat the business was quite a profitableone, can't you?"
