The moving influence of the market was the covering of the short contracts. The trading was confined to the professional operators. During the first hour of-business dealings were almost ertirely in the industrials, but between 11 p clock and nocn there was a moderate Inquiry for the railroad list under which the shares recorded fractional gains. The market closed strong at or near the first figure cf the day.

The share market wa3 comparatively quiet during the week, the transactions aggregating only 1,113,600 shares, about the smallest lot of any -week In several months. Business was well distributed, about 145 stocks being traded in. A majority of the stocks show losses. TIk to fjie effect that the .Leather. Trust- would have to contend .with formidable competition led to heavy sales of the preferred stock, which sagged 4 -per cent, to 81. At the bottom figures the shares met with support and a rally followed to 86. The subsequent announcement by the management of a contemplated issue of new stock sent the figures down to SO. There was a final rally to S3, restricting the net loss to 21i per cent., exclusive of the 1 per cent, dividend.

An 'ordinance taxing Insurance companies 2 per cent, of their gross premiums received in Chicago has been introduced in the City Council of that city. - T. D. Belfield, of the horn office of the Imperial Fire of London, has sailed for New York, to become associate manager of Its Western department at Chicago. The late Edward B. Harper, president of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life, carried $100,000 insurance on hie life, most of which was In the company of which ho was the head. ! The Attorney-general of Illinois has approved the charter of the Mill Owners' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of Chicago, which expects to begin writing business July 25. Insurance Superintendent James F. Pierce, of New York, has been seriously ill at Palenvllle, in the Catskills. where he is spending his summer vacation with his family. At last accounts he was much Improved and making rapid strides towards convalescence. The Northwest Insurance Association, composed of the managers and general agents of the flro Insurance companies doIn? business in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, has been organized. Henry Hewitt Is president and Herbert Folger secretary, with an executive committee of fifteen. , It Is announced that the Commercial Union Fire Insurance Company of New York has decide to enter into active competition for business. It was incorporated In April. 1891. by Alfred Pell. Charles Sewell, A. H. Wray and others, wltti J200.C00 capital. Heretofore it has done only a nominal business. It will soon enter Illinois. New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Missouri. The Ohio division of the Independent Order of Foresters has collapsed, and, according to a Cleveland paper, the members, numbering three hundred, will lose about $70,000. There have been two hundred and twenty-nine assessments. The order was founded in 1S79. and had at one time a membership of 1,200 In Ohio. The membership was limited to men between the-ages of twenty-one and fifty years, and it is said that the average age of members at present is fifty years. The Aetha Life, of Hartford, has declared a stock dividend as of July 1. of $250,000. This carries the capital stock from $1,500.000 to $1,750,000. The limit by statute is $2,000,000. In 1SS3 the Connecticut Legislature authorized the company's capital to be Increased to not exceeding $2,000,000: The capital of . the company at that time was $750,000. A stock dividend amounting to $250,000 was declared, making the capital $1,000,000. Since 1S83 three stock dividends of $250,000 each have been made by the company.

Before he,aied for home on the Lucania President Oelbermann, of the GermanAmerican Fire Insurance Company of New Y'ork. denied the truth of a rumor that the selection of E. L. Allen, formerly Northwestern manager of the Royal Fire, at Chicago, to be vice president of the German-American company in place of James A. Silvey. meant that the Royal had eecured control of the German-American, to either run it along as a third United States plant, or, in course of time, absorb its business and retire it. President Oelbermann emphatically denied tho story in these words: ''There is nothing in it, nor will we have any reinsurance treaty or deal with the Royal. There has not been one share of stock purchised by that company, and, in fact, there has been but little stock sold for a long time." Acting District Attorney Vernon M. Davis, who is prosecuting the great arson conspiracy In New York. Is, through agents, scouring two continents to discover the whereabouts of a fire insurance adjuster named Joseph L. Harris. Harris left his fashionable residence at No. 833 President street, Brooklyn, on June 11. ostensibly to go with his family to his summer cottage at Bay Shore. L I., since which time his whereabouts the detectives of the district attorney's office have been unable to discover. In one Xlrs alone which Harris adjusted, that of the fur store of Henry Slede, . No. 14 West Fourteenth street, which w as .burned July 4. 1S93. the fire Insurance companies suiTcred a loss of $1M.255.12. Harris was closely identified with the establishment. It Is said, as a sort of partner. There was a later fire, which is now the subject of an investigation. It is asserted that Isaac Zuker, the indicted firebug, and Harris have long heen firm friends. In the adjustment of the loss on SUde's fur store Harris looked after Siedc's interests. Harris declared that he had loaned Slede $50,000. and so represented to the insurance companies, who, on the other hand, believed that Harris was a partner. No co-partnership papers could be found, however, although it was alleged Harris - had made hi headquarters at Siede's. The district ettorney'3 office would like very much indeed to interview Mr. Harris on this and several other similar matters. .

WHEAT ADVANCED 1C

BULLS HELPED DY A IUJ310R OF FOREIGN EXPORTS GIVING OUT. Continued Bad Report of . Spring Crops Also Assisted to Influence the MarketFork Higher. CHICAGO, July 20. Wheat was firmer today and closed lc higher than it did yesterday. An Indication that supplies from the competing foreign exporting nations were giving out, and a repetition of the complaints regarding spring wheat in the Northwest, contributed largely to the rise. Corn was upheld by the small receipts and good demand from consumers. The price shows . no change, however, for the day. Oats closed higher and provisions with a consequent advance in prices. For a few minutes after the opening the wheat market appeared to hesitato which direction It should take up or down. It quickly made u its mind, however, and became firm. The following are some of the features of the early news which caused prices to advance: The Argentine shipments for the week were 400,000 bu, compared with over 700.000 bu for the week before; ths Liverpool market was quoted from d to d higher, and the weather in England wet and unfavorable for crops; the Berlin market was reported 3 marks higher, and Baltimore wlrea early in the day that there was a good demand there for export, with sales of fifteen boatloads for prompt shipment to Liverpool up to the time of- sending the dispatch; while the exports were small the movement of new wheat to the central markets was also very light compared with corresponding time of last year; the six principal Western wheat markets a year ago received 583,000 bu, against only 277,0J0 (at the same places to-day. In connection with to-day's receipts it was noted that of 111,000 bu received at Toledo two cargoes, or 80,000 bu, of that quantity came from Chicago. That most peculiar feature of the present movement indicates the lightness of the reserve of old wheat In Ohio, as well as the poverty of this year's yield. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts to-day were 2?5 cars, against 313 carloads a year ago. Chicago receipts of 68 cars only comprised eight which went No. 2 in the inspection. On the corresponding day of list year Chicago's receipts contained 167 carloads, which graded contract. The opening transactions were at the lowest prices of the day, and the closing trades were aboutat the highest. A few sales of September were made at as low as 66c, and it was freely traded in at 67c near the close, and a few trades at 67c. At the close 67c was bid, and 677&c was the trading price. The consumptive demand and small stocks of corn asserted themselves to-day as superior in their Influence in the speculative market to a promised abundance when the new crop shall have been matured. The receipts tc-day were only 212 cars. The sales of round lots for shipment were reported at only 45.000 bushels, but there was a good demand for all the carloads on the market at an average of about c per bushel over the current rates of yesterday. September opened at from 43c to . 43c advanced gradually to 44c and closed at 43T4c. The Liverpool market waf, quoted d lower. . ' . . " For a Saturday trading In oats was slightly out of the ordinary. While business was principally scattered, the volume was' quite heavy. Free buying by the crowd' and a higher cash market,, the result of a good shipping demand, caused futures to advance, and the session was firm throughout. September started at 22c, sold up to 22c and closed at 22c. The provision market was firm at the start and quite strong at the close. The falling off in the hog receipts told for something at last. Compared with yesterday's closing prices, pork is 20c higher, lard c higher and ribs 12c higher. The week's receipts of hogs were 73,401. compared with 115,013 on the parallel week of the previous year, the runs being only 6,000 head. For next week 75,000 is the estimated, run." Estimates for Monday Wheat, 63 cars; com, ISO cars; oats, 105 cars; hogs, 18,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Open- High- Low- Clos- . Articles. . ing. est. est. Ing.

The reason of Cornelius Mayer's sudden withdrawal as a candidate for City Cleric haj come out and adds more to the story of Democratic dissatisfaction with candidates and policies. Mayer had the field as the representative Germaa candidate, and had been out quite a time when August Tamm, also a German, announced himself. Tamm at first would not tell Mayer what he was going to do, but the two men happened to meet at the Grand Hotel, and full information was demanded by Mayer. Tamm then told him he was a candidate, and Mayer proceeded at once to a newspaper office, where he announced his withdrawal. The friends of Mayer, it is said, are not at all pleased with Tamm's action, and will fight him in the convention. The situation gives Smith Meyers a lead for the nomination of City Clerk on the Democratic ticket. THE f COURT RECORD. Criminal Court, . Frank McCray. Judge.

JEFFERSON VILLE, Ind., July 20,-It has Just developed that J. R. Williams, the convict who died at the State prison on Monday, was in reality J. C. Vine, a member of a prominent and wealthy famlily of New Y'ork, whose lineage dates back to the Puritans. When quite young he came West, and, drifting into Evansville, bought a saloon, which he conducted for seme time. While there he met the daughter of a. prominent citizen of Henderson, Ky. The parents of the girl objected to the young peoplo marrying on ' account of Vine's business, but did not discourage his calls, knowing of his excellent family relations. Soon after he eloped with the j'oung woman and married her. After a while his business began to fall, and he moved to Dubois county. There he forged a check for $20 to. procure money, and when arrested gave his name as J-.R. Williams. Under this name he was sent to the penitentiary for three years. While there his wife visited him frequently and gave him money, but she made her parents believe that her husband was away at work. Both Williams, or Vine, and his wife were looking forward hopefully to his release, and he announced his Intention of settling down and outliving his disgrace.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 20.-Enough returns have been received of the second vote by the miners to indicate that, as was the case with the first vote, the 51cent scale has been rejected. Secretary Kennedy stated this afternoon that he had little hope of a second vote changing the result. "The majority of men," said he. "are opposed to working .for 51 cents per ton. They are unable to make a living at that price. An average day's labor for a man in the bituminous field Is three tons. When it is considered that two-fifths of the product mined goes through the screens for which the men get nothing, their wages are cut down to about 33 cents per ton. "I learned to-day from unofficial sources." continued Mr. Kennedy, "that several operators In Sullivan county say there is no occasion for cutting wages at this time, and that they intend to pay the old scale, 60 cents." Mr. Kennedy said he thought the Indiana miners were encourageq to hold out by the refusal of the Illinois men to accept a cut of cents. Mr. Kennedy last night received the following; telegram from James Conner, the president of the Illinois district organization at Jollet. 111.: "Hold firm. Illinois has voted 5 cents per ton to. assist you." The operators admit that the situation In this State is getting critical. They no longer entertain hopes that the 51-cent scale will be accepted. - Rott In Elder Covert's Church. ANDERSON, Ind., July 20.

Elder Covert has leased a church In the immediate vicinity of the camp ground, and is waging war on all the claims of unusual phenomena of the spiritualists. As indicated in the reports of the Journal, Covert has challenged all comers and posted $50Q that he can reproduce any phenomena that the mediums give. He spoke to a crowded house last night, and had explained many of the phenomena, to the intense delight of his hearers. In the audience were a number of Spiritualists from the camp. At the close of the meeting medium Smith, of Muncle, arose and filed a prcte3t against the charge of Covert that "all mediums were either liars, knave3 cr Ignoramuses." Mr. Smith then undertook to tell what he could do. A heated discussion ensued, and in "the melee Covert walked down tho aisle, and, shaking his b!g fist under Mr. Smith's nose, called him a "dirty i!ar." At this stage County Commissioner Henry Brornenberg took part, and the scene that ensued was one of the wildest ever seen In a church here. Covert suddenly adjourned tho meeting. Tf-day both Smith ind Brcnueuberg were arrested and lined. Anderson Sinners Convicted. ANDIIRCON. Ind., July 20.-Art!ereon Is In t!v3 rr.t rt of a tidal wave cf relltoua
