Under Immense receipt* from the NorthVrcat, ■wheat opene<l at a half cent deollno from Saturday, and under further pro—uro declined to 5874c for December. This was followed by a h$lf-cent rally, to which it declined to the preceding low point. The visible supply Increased 1,061,|00 buehels, about half the amount of Increase that had been previously eisstiSUkted. but over LOOO.OOO bushels went Into private elevators, which had been counted & the available, »o that the aggregate pt receipts was no leas formidable. Mlnbeapoli* ajid Duluth received 2,0o7 cars, p&d the primary receipts were 1.919,000 pushals for the day at these two points, * quantity beyond all precedent for the pe*t two years, 'the exports were 248,W0 bushels, and would have been considered liberal had they not been overshadowed by the immense receipts. The English visible decreased 200,000 bushels, and the quantity on passage decreased 600,000 bushels. Shipments of wheat from Argetttlne have practically ceased, but those from the Black sea ports have ahown an increase. It is said the demand for cash wheat in the Northwest is good. Both New York fend Chicago are liberal buyers. Inasmuch as Chicago is buying largely to secure elevator charges, futures being sold against the cash, the influence of this buy- • Iflg, at present, Is really more bearish than otherwise. It Is quite possible, when the surplus in the Northwest Is reasonably secured at low prices, the big elevator men may find it to "their Interest to advance prices, In which case the necessities of millers In the winter wheat districts will assist in bulling the market later on. At present there is little encouragement to holders, who will require a good amount of patience with wide marglns to enable purchasers to wait for a profit. On further depression there may bo an opportunity for a small reaction, but purchasers should avail themselves of such .temporary rally and secure the profit when offered. Ootober corn sold at 29%c, the lowest point reached this season, and oats ruled all the lowest point yet* reached. May selling at 20c. Provisions are very dull, but slightly Winer. ' Inactivity In the Stock Market. Boston Commercial Bulletin, October 5. ' A mere glance at market quotations will Show how much this week's security market has been one of simple drift. Prices 'have at times advanced, and at other ’times they have slowly declined. But {there was no outride interest whatever. 'Commission brokers agree that orders from investors are absolutely at a minimum. The London arbitrage houses equally agree that non* of the large oper-1 atom In that city are paying the least attention to Americans. I Consequently, the market has been left wholly In the hands of professional speculators, mostly •f small caliber. The reason for this Inactivity Is unusually plain. It will probably be a good' while before the outside speculators and Investors recover from their fright oven, the late gold export movement. It was very generally believed, a week ago, that a movement in exchange and 1 in the gold market had set In, similar to that which began In July, 1892, and which ended in the partial break-down of the Federal Treasury. As a deterrent argument for outsiders, the force of this jvas terrible., “* .. .. . - 'd*

The chief trouble seems to be in getting material, either crude or finished, with which to fill orders. Furnaces and mills in all sections of the country are declining' to take business for delivery in the near future, and some companies are even refusing orders requiring delivery for the early part of next year. Although the production of pig iron has now reached the enormous figure of 195 OtW tons weekly, stacks are still being drawn upon showing that consumption Is still ahead of production. Prices for iron ore are advancing, and as many furnaces have not yet covered their ore wants for the coming winter months st‘11 higher figures may be looked for, especially as the time draws near for the close of lake navigation. Several corn and wheat carrying railroads have come Into the market for rolling stock, and other? are getting contracts in shape for bidders. The situat.on is daily growing better for Iron and steel manufacturers nnd their workmrn, and find her advances in the prices of crude and manufactured products, as well as wages, may be

looked for.

■took market advance of May and of August, much of the enthusiasm was basad on the belief that the forced expulsion of gold and the fall In the treasury reserve were permanently over. This much, at any rate, can no longer b* maintained. The most conservative authorities reluctantly admit that even If the situation is assured between now and the opening of 1896, a renewed strain Is certain to comA next spring, the consequences of which nobody can clearly fore-

•ast.

It is true that such prophets make little allowance for a possible heavy expansion hf interior trade, which will employ the hurreniy In a way that it has not been employed since 1891. But even that Is wholly a matter of conjecture. In New York, it may be affirmed, people are getting to assume that unless some IntellG ■rent measures are taken to adjust the currency, the gold export movement will beglh again next year, and will continue as long as that of a year ago. It Is not strange that with this possibility once more Impressed upon their minds, outsld•rs should have abandoned the Investment market. Export In w Corn. National Stockman. Corn Is once more getting down to a basis which will justify Its exportation, Ind the movement In this direction Is, how, and has been for several weeks, gutte liberal as compared with corresponding dates for the past few years of short crops, but insignificant when compared with the enormous amount of corn in the country. The largast exports on record, nearly 102,000,000 bushels, were fpr the gear ending June 30, 1890, Jrom the great Corn crop of 1889, which was estimated at 1,1 U,000,000 bushels. The export price that Lear was also the lowest on record, or »1.8c per buahel. /Unless the conditions abroad are such a* to restrict the demand Tor corn, the exports from this year’s crop Should be on a larger scale than ever before. \ The price promises to be favorable to the' buyer, and It is to be hoped that “mittist/xnai* sac:** oVnyvun/I Y\e>c>n

Crimson Clover. Chicago Bulletin. Reports from forty growers In seventween counties of Michigan have been made to the State experiment station concerning tests which crimson clover. The results, as given in a bulletin recently issued, make it seem that crimson clover Is less hardy than the common red clover, though there appears a difference of opinion on this point. Its success or failure, however, does not rest on that fact alone. Red clover is sown in the spring over most of this State and has t'me to become well established before winter, while crimson clover, to succeed, must be sown in the fall or summer. A moderate development In autumn, probably two or three Inches in most localities, seems most favorable to its passing the winter, though a sijiall growth will winter safely where covered with snow. Plants, however, which are small in the fall do not attain a full development in our climate, but run rapidly to seed In the spring, with a • single or but few ^UUka. i > Wurning To Packer*.

Denonnolng; Theosophy. ’x>ndon Cable New York Sun. * The camp of theosophy in England has been thrown into utter demoralization this week by the desertion of Mr. Herbert Burrows, o^e of its irtost prominent leaders. He does not hesitate to denounce certain of its foremost officers, past and present, as guilty of the most vulgar fraud and humbug. He says tn a public letter: ‘The recent disclosures of fraud which have split the society led me to further investigations, impossible before, which have thoroughly convinced me that for years- deception in the society has been rampant, deception to which Mme. Blavatsky was sometimes party. Both Col Olcott, the president of the society, and Mr. Sinnott, the vice-president, believe her to have been partially fraudulent. To this organization, in which these and other questionable th.ngs take place, I can no longer give my recognition and support; and although 1 do not in, any way give up the essential ideas of theosophy, I leave the society, for, as it now exists, I believe it to be a standing danger to honesty and truth and a perpetually open door to superstition, delusion and fraud.” 4 As far as heard from, the Mahatmas have not yet come to the aid of the Truthful in this emergency. In fact, it is confidently asserted that Mrs. Besant herself may be expected soon to make a similar announcement to an unbelieving world.

New York, October 7.—Earnings C., C., C. four week September increased $86. London special: “Paris improving, with Kaffirs recovering.” This has caused buying of Americans. The outlook is better.

account of the holders wishing to put their money into Kaffirs. It is considered likely in London that anything which caused alarm in Kaffirs would lead to the purchase of considerable amounts of St. Paul by people who Hke to have the stock on hand. A portion of^the St. Paul sold by London is undoubtedly in the street; a portion has been taken by investors. One interest is known to own a considerable holding, and expresses confidence that as the earnings Increase and the ability of the company to pay 4 per cent, on the stock becomes apparent. the pubric demand for St. Paul will absorb the present floating supply

The Emperor's Quarrel With v |Ienry. London Cable New York Times. Reports of a more ordinarily curious character are beginning to circulate again, among people who are generally described as in diplomatic circles, alJou: the German Emperor. I find flvo or six public men, all more or less in touch with German affairs, who have heard within tho past fortnight different stories about him which seem to indicate that he is passing through another of those queer mental spells of his. His affection, from his earliest boyhood, for his charming brether Henry, has been written much of; now he has quarreled with him on, it is said, the question of naval management, and Henry has quitted Germany under conditions not easily distinguishable from banishment. Minor eccentricities are related, which, if at all true, amply warrant what is heard of the popular apprehension and distrust in Germany. This is the most anxious period that Europe has known for. a long time, and to have any of the many vital issues at stake in hands not under absolutely calm control necessarily increases the general disquietude; but Germany has, on the whole,, more to risk or lose by war than anybody else, and it is quite intelligible that rumors of this sort should fill her with special alarm. However, It may be remembered that they were heard often before, and that no harm resulted.

UNION STATION POSTOFFICE.

Plana Tn Save Time—The Conaers-

vllle Station—Railroad New*.

London Cable New York Sun. There is no denying that the week's events in Constantinople have caused a serious reaction in public sentiment throughout Europe upon the Armenian question. It appears clear, from even the friendly reports, that the Armenians themselves are responsible for the’ rioting. Even the correspondent of the Daily News, which is the most ardent champion of the Armenian cause in England, telegraphs to-day: "Two points ought, in justice to the Turks, to be noted. First, that It is beyond doubt that -a large number of those Armenians who took part in the demonstration on Monday were armed. Secondly, the government has not employed troops nor allowed rifles to be used. The police -were armed with revolvers, but the soldiers have only been employed as patrols, and I am not aware of any 'allegation of misconduct aguinst them. The struggles have been between the police and the lowest class of the Moslem population on one side and the lowest class of the Armenians on the other.” The impression now prevails in diplonratic circles that the danger of serious complications between Turkey and the Powers is diminishing. Nobody pretends to deny that the suffering among the Armenians, especially in the remote districts of their country, is still very great and is increasing. Thousands *are literally starving, and it is hopeless to expect that the Turkish government will do more than to prevent further persecutions. This last now seems in a fair way of accomplishment, for the selection of the new Grand Vizier is regarded as a distinct concession to the English demands. England nnd Chinn. London Cable New York Tribune. Englishmen have justly derived great satisfaction from China’s immediate submission to the Foreign Office’s ultimatum and from the impression produced in Europe by this peremptory demand, supported as it was by a naval demonstration. The offending Viceroy was degraded by an imperial edict without ar. hour’s delay. What is called the long arm of England, \ poetic phrase for the navy, was raised fnenacingly, and that was enough, without the delivery of a blow. While France and Russia have been intriguing for the control of the Chinese policy, and Germany has been cautiously holding aloof from a dread of injuring her growing trade, England has regained her prestige in Pekin by a boll stroke, far more effective than floating a loan under Russian guarantees, and has made it plain that with her powerful ravy, she has a tremendous engine for exerting diplomatic influence throughout the world. The facility with which results have followed energetic diplomacy in China suggests the moral obligation to coerce the Sultan at Constantinople in the same way. For nine months that sovereign has been playing with England, Franco and Russia, much as he would watch flies buzzing on his palace window. Nothing has been done for Armenia; nothing will be done, until orders .are given to a fleet to threaten some Turkish port and compel the acceptance of European demands, A street riot in Stamboul, followed by murderous atacks upon Armenians, has sufficed this week’ to overthrow Said Pasha and set up another Grand Vizier ir bis place. The situation in that city has been critical, but the excitement is now subsiding. A single shot from a man-of-war would bring the Sultan to terms and pyt an end to anarchy and outrage in Armenia.

The experiment of installing the telephone by trotting cavalry has been successfully undertaken by the Pruss an Uhlans between Berlin and Potsdam. Two sets of officers proceeded respectively from Berlin and Potsdam. Each set was equipped w.th complete telephone apparatus, which, together with the requisite quantity of small wjre, was carried by one of the men In a leather case. The end of the wire was, by means of a fork fixed at the end of a lance, thrown over the tops of trees along the road. As each kilometre of wire was thus suspended, a halt was made to ascertain whether there was connection with the station. The two sets met at Teltow, where the wires were connected and telephonic connection between Berlin and Potsdam was established. The distance is twenty miles, and the task was completed in about four hours. y. DMlfmTTATlSTlCS.

Criticising South Carolina. London Cable New York Sun.

John Bull this week has been enjoying particularly his self-appointed role ol critic of all creation. Nothing for a long time, not even the Armenian atrocities, has so aroused his virtuous Indignation ass the proposal of South Carolina to arhcnd the constitution so as to impose a reading end writing qualification for the suffrage. "Nothing," shrieks the Daily News in a leader to-day, "but a strong declaration of public opinion throughout the civilized world can prevent this monstrous injustice. We are proud to say that the Daily News has always championed the human rights of the negro in America, and it will cham-

pion his civil rights as well.”

It would be intere^jjijg, by the way, to ncte how this virtuous journal would receive a proposal to give free suffrage and self-government to the native population o* India and other British possessions. The Daily News, and certain other journals, all of the Liberal party in politics, have long been insane on the subject of negro oppression in America. But it is only fair to say that the average Englishman does not car© a button about their

ravings. . ^

STREET ARABS OR THE STAGE* Diacaltr la Gettla* the Real Article Saltable For the Work. Some twenty or twenty-five street Arabs will make their initial appearance before the footlights to-night In "A Bowery Girl,” which opens at English’*. They are used to portray life on the Bowery. The duty of securing thtor^ extra talent devolves on E. P. Wood, advance agent of the company, and he has a (merry time of it. A caller at the opera-house found him quietly watching the superhuman efforts of about thirty boys, who were marching up and down in front of the house, trying i to look and act tough. They had gathered in response to an kdvertisement, and they seemed about os unpromising a lot of youngsters as one could well Imagine. They evidently did not please Mr. Wood. “These chape are counterfeits," h* said. "They are most *of them boys, who live at home and In normal state have little of the typical tough about them. Now they are exerting themselves to be agreeable, all for my benefit, but it isn’t natural, and while they do very well out here, the minute they would strike the stage they would be the most helpless, forlorn-look-ing specimens of the genus small boyy 0U saw "No," continued Mr. Wood, 'Hhese boy* won’t do; they are too good; but I’ve got some good ones spotted. There to a whole covey of the genuine article in j the alley back of The News office, and I [ was just on the point of nailing a few of them." As Mr. Wood had said, there was a gang of boys back of The News office, and it did not require an expert to tell that they were the right stuff. Mr. Wood’s face beamed as he gazed at them* Mr. Wood hailed one of the most uniqne specimens with, "Say, Sloppy, I want

you."

"So do the police,” answered the boy. "1 want you to go on the stage next

Woo? "Now I want you to get opt and hustle in about twenty boys, each one a dear tough guy like yourself, and have them over to the opera-house In half an

hour.” „ * “It is a bet," remarked the urchin, and

sailed out after his particular cronies.

Drilling the Squad

Mr. Wood circulated among the boys, and picked out several likely specimens, whom he sent on ahead of him. When he returned to the house his ally had marshaled thirty boys, each burning with

a desire tp be an actor.

"This !• the real stuff.” said Wood as he gazed on the collection of shoeless, coatless, hatless youngsters. "I can get some corker* out of this squad. Now, kids, get In line here. I want to slse you

all up.” j

He passed down the line and picked out five boys, whom he told to go. The*» rejected candidates he pronounced "coun-

terfeits."

One of the remaining Jewels volunteered

the Information that "Dose guys what

got trowd out was rank fitters.”

1 It was at this stage of the proceedtngs that Wood began to have his fun. He

lined the boys up again and said: "Now you boys all know Bteve Brodte.

Well, let’s see you try to look like him.” Then those twenty-five boys all tried to

look like the King ' “

Wood now went C and hauled a couple

them to skin. "You noticed that fir*t boy I turned down,” remarked Wood, "Well, that fellow was a dlsorganlrrr, nnd before the third day he would have the other boys all out on strike, and then he would come In and offer to do all the actual work of the others, and want the whole salary. I’m on to them all, I guess. The other lad Is a fighter. Fighting is as necessary to him as eating is to other people, and about the second night his appetite would reassert Itself, and there would be trouble right

thare on the stage."

“What’s your name?” he asked one of the dirtiest boys in the lot. “Chimmle Fadden,” answered th*

youngster.

"Can you be tough, Jimmy ?”

"I’m just dls strong,” replied the boy, "dat nobody can trow de soup Into me widout a sroon.” f “When do you expect to start a beard or. that remark? It’s very, very old, and' It would put your candle out if you aprung It on the Bowery: you mu*t do better than

that."

“Can you be tough?” he asked another youngster. Up went his shoulders, his chin out and hl^ hands down. “I don’t take off me lid to nobody in djs town. See?” As the boys Rent trooping out, one ws* heard to say: “What do you Unk of dat guy wid the fried-egg bonnet? He to all right, he to.”
