The share speculation on New York Change yesterday failed to display any improvement in point of animation or distribution of business. . The market at the outset was weak and lower, the concessions, however, being fractional. The traders who were responsible for tho limited dealings were . unfavorably impressed by the formal passaga of the Butler bond bill by tne Uaited States Senate amd by depression In the London prices for Americans. Tho lower range induced some covering purchases and a little buying for the long account. AlUiough the ucceedlng prices were somewhat Irregular, the market In a general way trended upward, and 'later in the day almost the entire list displayed improvement over Tuesday's closing. The Industrials were conspicuous in the dealings and in some instances the movements that occurred were, evidently inspired by manipulation.

Slaver certificates were unusually active to-day, the sales ggreeatlng X140.C00 and the price moving up from 63c to 69Vic and closing at Oc The adTance was due to speculative purchases and the reaction to sales at the top by agents of the producers. The changes in prices-were due to a statement and assumption by the street regarding. the political possibilities. ' Railroad bonds were quiet and tfower.' with decided weakness in some of the speculative Issues at the close on foreign offerings. The tales were &43.000.

Judahvwas the speaker last night at the Contemporary Club, and gav an original story of negro life In the South In her own inimitable way. Since Mrs. Judah has lived In Memphis she has been much interested in the condition cf the col ored people, and many of them have "told her their life history before the war, during the warnd since the war. The name of the story Mrs. Judah gave was "The Main Wife," which means the first wife, aud the sad history was told IMrs. Judah by the unfortunate second wife, who had married, as she supposed legally, having been told that the first wife was dead. First of all she told of her child life while living with her master and mistress, her story glowing, with beautiful pictures of them, surrounded by their own children, and the children of their slaves. The plantation experience were filled with chapters of their pleasures. Die ttfres of their plays, their smiles and tears. Joys and sorrows. She, like all the rest of tne cniiuren, grew up to womanhood and learned to love a man, who was a slave as devoted to his master and mistress as she was to hers. They were married, and, like many of their kind, after the war they by hard work. Industry and economy prospered and were happy with each other, but forgot many of the happenings previous to their experiences together. The main feature of the old woman's life was that she was married to a man who had a slave wife In another State, from whom he had separated, and whom he supposed was dead. They had lived napplly for saveral years, and he had been ordained to preach In the Methodist Episcopal Church. "The Main Wife" presented her claims. She was needy, old and poor. He was conscientious, religious and good, and sue was undoubtedly his legal wife. The mental struggle of the second ftvue, the givlnf ud cf home and rights, the continual cross she bore while trying to persuade herself that she was right, the unselfish yielding up the place they had earned together, the suffering she endured, the calm that came after the storm of regret and discontent was a picture of Southern lire seldom heard about In the North. Mrs. Judah, in telling the story, was remarkable in her dialect, and tne word pic tures and Quotations were worthy a Mod fc?ska. She wore an exquisite costume of white moire and pearls. Alter the relation of the story a social hour was spent, and Airs. Judah's many friends were given aa opportunity to meet ner. G. A. II. Aotes.

Bad crop news governed(the ideas of wheat speculation to-day, and July closed at an advance of about He after an early loss of Vic. Corn, oats and provisions ruled firmer and closed higher, though no important advance was made. In any case. There was a fair speculative trade-Tin. wheat, the market ruling quite active at times, being subject to rather" frequent changes within the established range of lV4c. The weakness during the early part of the 3?ssion was attributable In a measure to the disappointing tone of the Liverpool advices, tha market there being quoted unchanged, which in face of yesterday's rise on this side. was taken as a little significant. Then the weather map was generally favcvable. North western receipts were again liberal, amount ing to 373 cars, and London reported Russian wheat very weak. Under all this holders lest confidence and sold out. Short selling was free. But after selling off c, the decline was arrested. Missouri's crop report showed 5 points loss during the past month, and it was followed by one from Ohio, showing a loss of two points there. Minneapolis wired that shipping purchases of wheat there yesterday were 2iw.0u0 bu. instead of 100.000. Then reports were received that looked bad concerning the Kansas crop, and the senti ment oecame more Dunisn. with snorts cov ering generously. The Northwest also sent in good buying orders, aud with clearances again fair, the price steadily improved, sell ing up 8c irora the low point. July opened about Mc lower at 56V2C, fell aulckyly to b6ic, the gradually sold up to 66I4C The market continued to improve during tne last hour. The late crop news was all bad and shorts were covering. There was also in vestment demand and July sold up to 5714c, closincr firm at 57Vc. Corn was quiet and steady. Prices were a shade easier early in the session on larger local receipts than expected and in sympathy with the decline in wheat, but later as crop damage reports continued to corae in prices advanced ard a nrm leennsr pcevawea at the close.

Opening: of Bids for a Xerr Fire En-jrlne-Plnclnir of the "Serf Electric Lights. The opening of the bids for a new fire en gine yesterday by the Board of Safety showed how the city has been cheated out of $500 by the action of the board in award ing a secret contract to the American Fireengine Company. The bids opened, yester day were for a first-class fire engine. The American" Fire-engine Company offered to furnish a new engine, an exact counterpart of the one, recently placed in headquarters, for 34.300. The one recently bought cost 33,000. At first the company asked 35,500 for the one now in use, but finally it was seen by the bidder that the sale could not be made at that price, and a new bid was submitted at 35,000. The board finally said this bid would be accepted if the company would add a few sundries, which are worth prob ably to $73. This was accepted and the engine, was bought. Now JJie same company comes forward, when it is known that there w-ill be eome competition, and offers to duplicate v the present engine for $4,500. It is not claimed that tho cost of material and work has dropped 3500 in the last five months, but the effect of competition has been to reduce the profit of the company that much and make a saving to the city, . although the Ahrens engine was not bought this time. . ' The Amoskeag company, of. Manchester, N. H., offered to put in an engine on prac tically the same specifications, as the Ahrens engine . for 34,500, but - the La France Engine Company, of Elmira,' N. Y., bid 34, 300 for a similar one. This bid was accept ed, and the engine is to be delivered within sixty days. The engine is guaranteed to do as good work' as any engine now In use here,. and if It does not when Ik is delivered it. la. to be taken away by the company without expense to the city." This means that If must do exactly the same work as tne new Ahrens engine,' which cost 35,000, or there will be no sale. The engine will i have a capacity of 1,000 gallons a minute, which is one hundred galions more man was claimed for the Ahrens engine by. the builders when it was tested here this rprinrv but is the same capacity as is ciaimea lor the Anrens engine in the specifications. 4 It has two steam cylinders e:gnt anu tnree-quarters inches la diameter, and pumps five and one-fourth .inches in diameter, with a nine-inch stroke. It has a copper tubular boiler, and will weigh aoout y.uoo pounds. A BLUFF AT A CONTRACT. ..... V . Famous Beard of Ynclllators Cannot Pnt In an Electric Plant. Yesterday members of the Board of Works and Board of Safety and Mayor Taggrart listened to arguments In behalf of the bidders for putting In an electric lighting plant in Tomllnson Hall. Those present listened and argued just the same as If the board is In a position to award a contract for the ma terial, which it Is not. The only reason for receiving bids seems to be that the board wanted to know what an electric light plant would cost For this purpose the representatives of several elec tric companies have paid their expenses In coming here to look over the building and make estimates. , All of this Is groping in the dark, because to make a contract now for a lighting plant would 'place the mem bers of the Board of Works subject to the provision of the charter making It a penal offense to contract for anything for which money has not been appropriated. No money has ever been appropriated for this purpose, ana there has not even been a request that an appropriation should be made. Ith the present condition of the cities finances it is extremely doubtful if an appropriation can be made, or at legist If made It would necessitate a temporary loan before the next taxpaylng time. The revenues of the city are less now than a year ago, and the expenditures have been considerably Increased, not including the extraor dinary expenditure for fire department equip ment and for the addition to the City Hos pital. The lowest bids yesterday were those of the Jenney Klectnc Motor Company, at 36.935. and the Fort Wayne Electric Corpora tion, at $,695.7 The Jenney people proposed a larger dynamo than tne otner Diaaer. . mm m mm m mm m m -m m m m a - SEW ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
