OnJy 9 per cent, of the receipts of new winter wheat so far has graded No. 2. Last year at* the same tlnte 86 per cent

so freely as to overload the market. There Is an Idea that the visible will decrease slightly again, probably 260,000. A large miller in northern Ohio says nearly all df the millers are putting In machines to clean U^e wheat as It comes from the farmers, giving back to them the screenings and paying for the good

- wheat. This is something that has never

Stock Broker*’ Go**lp. By L. W. Louis's private wire:

New York, August 9.—With the close of yesterday’s business at the Stock Exchange, prices were left at practically the level of the day before, with the stagnation in business intensified. The market at the moment is in a complete deadlock. Holders of stocks will not sell and no one will buy, the trading movements at each session being barred from considerations. . Possibly this statement may be modified, for there is a slow dribbling on the market of stocks sold by foreign operators and a small amount of commission-house realizing. Shrewd observers of the situation say that argument drawn from the stagnant aspect of the speculation is idle, for it may be said in reply to the assertion of the bulls that the bears can not shake out stocks, that the market is in no condition to absorb offerings, and for that reason very few are ■ made. Some of the more Intelligent bear operators who look for a final decline, readily admit the possibility of frequent rallies in prices for the time. In the meantime .the unpleasant effects of the shortage in the winter wheat crop, now estimated at from 75 to 100 million bushels, Is seen In extraordinarily light shipments of wheat and an almost complete absence of offerings of grain bills in the fwelgn exchange market. Talk of embarrassment of the spring wheat harvest from wet weather Is also being discussed. More attention has also been drawn to the heavy deficiency In the country’s cotton yield, a factor which also tends to delay the offerings of bills drawn against future exports of merchandise. Not a few experienced commissionhouse brokers look upon tne foreign exchange situation as likely to prove to be the key to the next Important movement of the stock market. They Teel confident that a favorable turn In ihe ex* change will help speculation by jncreasing*the importance of the influence on sentiment of good crop prospects and reviving Industry; on the other hand. It is feared that if gold goes to Europe at the rate of several millions «a week through the current month the fabric of values may suffer from liquidation. London. August 9.—Market’ opened steady; now dull. C. O. %, N* Y. C. %, St. P. %, L. & N. %. Reading % lower; N. P. pfd % higher; Atchison, U. P. and

able theory, reconciling all tha facta. Is that of the superintendence of the Holy S “The Bible needs to be delivered from some of Its so-called friends. They minify the divine element in contemplating the human. 1 would, present two proofs of the truth of the Word: (1) Christs own opinion of the Scriptures. He declared them to be true. He planted himself on the absolute truth of the Old Testament and provided for the New, which Is the precise answer to. His triple promise. But the test of the truth of Revelations is in the religious experience of man. The Christian carries in his own breast the best evidence of the truth of the Word. Only the logic of the heart

can demonstrate it.”

The Rev. M. B. Hyde preached la*t night. In part. Dr. Hyde said: “We are living in an age of marvelous achieve-ment-achievement so real that the ordinary mortal can * form no conception of human genius. It does not take much sagacity to see that the ordinary man has not hi* full meet of Investigation. There is not an evil in existence that is not due to n misconception' of man’s worth.

(5) It was changed by the Roman Catholic church. (6) The remnant people of God will keep It. (7) It will be kept 4n the new earth. Another session of the Indiana conference was held, at which the retiring treasurer. Dr. William Hili. of Rochester, made a speech, referring to service of seventeen years. An expression of esteem and grateful appreciation was tendered Dr. Hill at the dose of th® service The committee on credentials and license* recommended th* following: That credentials be given J. W.

SNAKES AND A WRECK.

Incident On the Scene of the Battle of Pogue’* Rud.

There was a wreck on the Union tracks cast of the Union station this monlng. A Lake Erie pwsenger train left the tracks, mashed the. planks on the iron girders over Pogue’s run, and one car nearly heeled over Into the ditch. This was on the site of the "battle of Pogue’s run," as a "campaign Incident” of war times is called. There was considerable speculation as to what caused the wheels to leave the tracks to-day. The train men found that the rails had not spread, and that the wheels of the car were in good condition. One young man asked the foreman of the wreck gang where the snakes were. “What snakes?" the track foreman said. “The swarm of black snakes that came up out of Pogue's run and got on the track in such numbers as to wreck this train.” "Young man, there may be snakes in your boots. I have seen none on these tracks." , "Well, the policeman down there In the station said this train would not go out until the snakes were out of the way, and some other guy said that this was a great town, with snakes enough to wreck a train.” Officer Roney, at the station, says the only snakes he knows of or said anything about were some snakes in an express car, snipped through by a ifliowman. Submit* Photograph* and Affidavit*. Duplicate pictures of Man Guln, a Chinese merchant of Lafayette, ornament the desk of the clerk of the Federal Court.

drawing up a form of franchise contract, which can be easily filled out In case the city and company can get together.

The Proposition.

It is understood from persons who have been following the negotiations that tho proposition of the Citizens' company will be in a general way as follows:’ It will agree to relinquish the claim of perpetual franchise, and will surrender the six yearn’ rights held by It under court decisions. It will agree to make a reduction In fares, probably offering to sell six tickets for a quarter, pr twenty-five ticket* ’for one dollar, it will agree to pave between the tracks of streets that have been improved, and to pay for the improvement of the tracks on all streets Improved In the future. The company will ask ten years in which to complete the work of paving between the tracks of streets that have been improved. It will agree to pay into the city treasury a stipulated per cent, of Its gross earnings, this per cent, to Increase at the end of ten years, or the end of the period In which the company must pave between the tracks of the Improved streets. It will agree to deed to the city FairvlevV Park, the dty to take the park and either improve It and beautify It, or sell it and use the money for park purposes, as it

may see fit.

$ The company has estimated that It will dost It about $50,000 a year to pave between tracks of street! that have been improved and to pay its share of the cost of paving new streets, or about $500,000 for the ten years. One of the members of the company says that, while It might seem that the company could complete the work of paving short of ten years, estimates which have been made show that should the company undertake to do the work in a shorter period it nrould find itsplf financially unable to make extensions and betterments which It desires to make.
