VERGE OF STAGNATION tositiox of the chicago grain axd provision siahkets. Irlces Were Generally Loner and Trading Doll The Month' a Rrcortl In Local Ilaslnefts. CHICAGO, Sept. 30. All the grain and provision markets to-day were dull to the verge of stagnation, and no material changes In values of deferred futures took place. September wheat and corn were In process of liquidation by long Interests, and declined sharply. The closing of the New "Xa'k exchanges had a narrowing effect on trading. September wheat closed '(ilc lower, and December a shade lower. September corn declined lHc, and December ia December oats closed unchanged. Provisions closed unchanged to a shade lower. Another slight rise m wheat at Liverpool, notwithstanding yesterday's decline In this market, caused wheat to open firm and at a fractional advance. The action at Liverpool Indicated that the traders there took a more serious view of the Transvaal situation, and caused a moderate covering movement among local shorts. There was also some outside buying through commission houses. Besides the strength at Liverpool, the market was helped by the continued light receipts at primary points. The impression apparently prevailed that receipts will continue to run much lighter than a year ago, and though there was a moderate amount of realizing at the opening advance, only a slight reaction resulted at the time, and prices quickly recovered. The market was In the main a scalping one, and the bear clement, timid at the s recent strength of the market under adverse conditions, was inclined to sever all short contracts over Sunday, fearing war developments In the Transvaal. Traders who sold yesterday were prominent in the buying. The strength, however, was confined to the deferred futures. September snorts had apparently been well tined up, and moderate Offerings by long interests re. suited in a snarp break in tne price of that option. It so.d at one time at ic discount under December. Winter-wheat points reported an excellent muling demana. Toward the close there was Increased selling on prospects of a large Increase in the visible, and the slight advance which had prevailed soon disappeared. Th close was rather heavy. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were S7S cars, against 1,066 last weea and 3.277 a year ago. Chicago rceits were 23j , cars, 2i of contract grade. T) ocal primary receipts were 1,249.000 ou, agc.st l&i.wju bu a year ago. Atlantic port clearances or wheat ana flour amounted to 4o,0wj bu. The visible is expected to Increase about Z.000.U.M bu. December opened -VU-Uc h'gher, at 734c It sold at 73Hc, then advanced to 7J7c and declined to 73VaC, where it closed. September declined from 72240 at the opening to 71c. and closed 'ulc lower, at 71c. ine ieature or. a auu session in corn was the weakness of the September option, "Which declined lic under liquidation by fromlnent long Interests. Th demand was Ight, shorts having apparently covered thoroughly, and prices were easily affected. A heavy increase in local contracts is looked for, and this affected speculation. Deferred futures were rather steady early, with wheat, but later. followed September downward, the market closing heavy. The shipping demand was fair, considering the New York holiday. Receipts were 1.2.S9 cars. December ranged from iyc to 30Vc, and closed ,c lower, at 23?gc September closed at Oats were quiet and firm. Shorts were Udders for September and advanced the price of that option about a cent at one time, but the improvement did net hold. Deferred futures kept within a narrow range. The market showed a drooping tendency late in the day, offerings being freer at the advance. "Receipts were 321 cars. December ranged from 22ic to 23c. and closed unchanged at 22c. September closed Yc higher at 22Vc. The cash demand was moderate. Trading In provisions was mainly in the "way of changing. The opening was slightly lower, in sympathy with a weak hog market, and kept at a slight discount most of the session. Packers were the chief sellers. The cash demand was not so good. At the close January pork was unchanged at 13.75; January lard a shade lower at Jo. CO and SS.2U,.and January ribs a shade lower at $S.07Hf?5.10.

Cattle Receipts light; shipments fair. There were few fresh arrtTals of cattle to-day; they wer principally female butcher grades, and all oM to local buyers at quotably ste.idy prices, compared with yesterday. The receipts this week ahow a fair lncreas over last week, a slight change compared with the same wtek a year go! and a decrease of a little less than l.OfiO ccmpared with the corresponding week two years SO. The trade has been unusually dull, partly on account of tha limited number of cholc kinds represented, but principally because of the excessive supply of common cattle. The choicest grades did not show much change In price, during the week, but It was very difficult to negotiate alaa of common to medium stock at a decline of aSGKc.

The receipts of hogs were about the average for a Saturday market recently. At the opening local packers were the only buyers in the Held, but It wa evident they could use all the supply, and It did not take long to agree on a trading basis. The offerings changed hands promptly, and sales for the most part were at yesterday's prices. The close, however, was easier. Out of a total of nearly l,or hog this week local packers bought about 11.000. and only 6,000 were shipped, orders being limited on account of the narrow margin between prices here and In Eastern markets. Notwithstanding prices were comparatively high, packers bought freely, and the average at the close of the week was 7c higher than the opening.

There were not enough fresh arrivals of sheep to make a market.' and therefore there is no quotable change to note, compared with yesterday. The week's receipts were small, the quality generally unsatisfactory, and In keeping with the unsettled condition of the trade elsewhere the demand was slow and limited- It was difficult to effect sales at all times, and prices declined 50c on lambs and 25c on sheep during the week.

A Week of Active Trade and Steudy, St rone I'rlcen. Trade In the week ended Sept. 30 was fully as good as during the preceding week, which was the banner week In trade of the year, and business , in September, as had been predicted in nearly all lines, was the most satisfactory in years, exceeding largely in volume that of September, 1S3S, and with this through the month strong, steady prices were the feature. While no sharp advances were made, the month closed with prices on several lines of goods a little higher than on the first day of the month, dry goods, leather, hides, iron and steel products, oils, drugs, fruits, poultry and eggs being the most prominent In higher prices. October promises to be a good month for business, as financial conditions, stocks carried and demand for goods all conduce to such results. The local grain market shows more activity, but receipts are not what they should be. even to supply the local demand. The week clored with track bids, as reported by the secretary of the lkard of Trade, ruling as follows: Wheat No. 2 red, 70c; No. 3 red, 66369c; September. 70c; wagon wheat. 70c.

NEW YORK. Sept. SO.-The World will to-morrow print an interview with William C. Whitney on the availability of Admiral Dewey as a presidential candidate. "You regard him as the natural selection for the presldencj-, chosen by the order of events?" the reporter usked. "I am convinoed," replied Mr. Whitney, "that his selection would be somethlog very much larger and better at this particular time than a party victory. It would be a patriotic reunion aiound the one man who typifies the new era and is best fitted by his character and experience to preside over Its development. Dewey gave us the ships. He understands the situation out there as no other man does. The people would trust him to deal with It more completely than they would any other man. They would rather see him at the helm, directing the policy o the government In its new possessions, than any other man. They know that he alwavs has done the right thing, and they would feel sure that he always would do the right thing. "This trust of the people in Dewey is the great fact that dominates the situation. They trust him implicitly. With him in the White House they would have absolute confidence that a wise, right, patriotic course would be taken and firmly kept. It Is a

great opportunity which this fact offers the Nation. It is only at long Intervals and on special occasions that Providence presents a man in whom the whole people have this unquestioning and perfect trust. It gave us such a man in Washington. It gave us another In Jackson. It gave us another In Grant. Now it has given us Dewey." Carter Likened to Dreyfus. CHICAGO, Sept. 30. Attorney Frank P. Blair, who assisted In defending Captain Carter, was visibly affected ns he read the Washington dispatch announcing that President McKinley had approved the finding of the court-martial. He exclaimed: "It is an outrage. It is equal to the Dreyfus case. This is the first intimatiou I had of the approval of the President. I see this is an Associated Press dispatch, and I guess it must be true. The case is now bej-ond legal intervention, as the verdict stands and cannot be changed. My opinion of the matter never has changed, and I think never will. It was a conplracy; the court-martial wilfully and flagrantly disobeyed the law. Testimony which should never have been admitted was accepted and that which was clearly entitled to be brought out was excluded. "Captain Carter was convicted on perjured testimony, as the defense clearly proved. Dreyfus was condemned on hearsay. Wherein lies the difference?

Death Doe to Wood tick. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 30. Dr. Lyman Pike died last night from blood poisoning caused by the bite of woodticks. He was seventy-three years of age and had been a physician for more than fifty years. He was born in Maine and came to this city thirty j-ears ago.

Circuit Court. WATTERSOX'S BAIT. He Knew It AVns Bogus, but Tried It on the Democratic Leaders. Louisville Courier-Journal. In- the early autumn of last year some Democrats of standing conceived the. Idea that In Dewey the Democratic party might rind what the Whigs had found in Taylor and the Republicans in Grant. They took measures to ascertain how the land might lie, and, naturally, their rlrst step In tnat direction was to consult Dewey himself. Not merely were letters of a confidential charactor sent emanating from those who had the right to send them but a confidential messenger went; and at least this- Dewey movement died before it was born. The Courier-Journal does not mind now telling that before it threw out the Dewey articles which occasioned so much comment at the time at the cost of such a flood of detraction from those who can never see an laea until someone hits them on the head with It giving many of Its esteemed contemporaries a perhaps coveted opportunity alternately to ridicule and revile it, we knew that was a Republican; that he would not allow his name to be used; that he would not accept a Democratic nomination, and that he sincerely desired the nomination and re-election of Mr. McKinley. Otherwise we should scarcely have been so free with our parts of speech. Otherwise we should have exercised some of that kind of reticence which, in the case of a possible presidential campaign, the most ordinary sense of prudence would impose. We confess that, there being nothing to gain or lose, that is, nothing affecting any concerted movement one way or another, and nobody to hurt, we were curious to see how the Democrats would take counsels which, had they been as relevant and practicable as they were disinterested and at that time it was not generally known whether thoy were or rot marked out for a divided party a sure way to the pooling of issues and the organization of victory. There was not an argument which addressed itself to the Whigs In favor of Taylor in 1848, and to the Republicans in favor of Grant in 1SG8, which rid not address itself to the Democrats in favor of Dewey. But the Democratic leaders would have none of it, or of him. They affect to believe that they would rather lose with Bryan than to win with Dewey, quite forgetting that if they lose another national battle they are lost forever, because, however sacred a cause may be. and however fervid Its leaders. If victories be not sometimes achieved fighting is sheer, useless sacrifice. At least in American politics the -blood of the martyrs is not the seed of the church. WHO AVE HE THE TWOf A Cutloua Echo of the Dreyfus Trial at Rennet, Philadelphia Record. Immediately after the announcement of the Rennes verdict the Paris Siecle proposed the erection In that city of an "expiatory monument" on which should be inscribed the denunciation of the majority of the court and a commendatory epigraph on Captains Beauvals and Parfalt as judges who had the courage to uphold the truth end justice.
