UrDVANAPOLIS AND CHICAGO LIVE STOCK PRICKS.

^••tfttfona O* Breadataffa and Pro▼ialona — Broker*’ Goaalp—Specs* latlre Opinion—Current Trade Commente—Tke Hide Market.

Tliere was a higher opening to wheat this morning, but after a period of firmness there appeared to be realizing gales, with a slowly declining market the greater part of the day. The advance from Monday's low price of 2c was too great a temptation for holders to resist, and so profit-taking was the order of the day. The selling of last week, upon the theory , that holders could not obtain the money to carry wheat, was a little too vigorous, and consequently the last three days has witneised the re-purchasing of previous salsa with the resulting 2c advance, which culminated this morning. All the news outside of this realizing has favored holders. Quite an amount of cash business for shipment was reported. The exports of near 400,000 bushels was quits satisfactory. Private estimators " were quoting spring wheat as aggregating only 85,000,000 bushels for the two Dakotas and Minnesota, with possibilities that even this diminished yield might not ha realized. But so narrow is the specu-. latlva trading that both sellers and buyers do not tarry long in the market. Com was lather stubborn to-day, being considerably stronger early, with only slight reaction. A little more confidence has been Infused Into the corn market on the report that the Southwest has suffered very seriously from drought and that section will be a buyer of corn and not a seller, as It ban been the past year. Oats ruled steady and firm, and neither

won nor lost.

Considerable pressure was on the provision market, pork selling at 15.80 for September, with a slight recovery later. Ribs and lard, while slightly lower, were better sustained, not reaching the previous low point. The fear of September deliveries appears to be the great apparition flaunted In the face of holders to frighten them out of their holdings. Brokers* Gossip. By O. D. Weaver A Co.’t Wire, Nsw York. August 20.-London market for Americans is steady; New York Central St. Paul and Louisville & NashviUe % lower, Erie % and Union Paciflo higher. Reading and Atchison imchojiged^ The Jump in Americans was partly the result of stop orders. Reed A*Varson had an order to buy and its execution disclosed orders to cover, •with practically no stock for sale. It is believed American Tobacco people have lately acquired stock on account of improved earnings of the property. The supposed Inside selling orders which have usually been found near the market had evidently been withdrawn. After the first rise on the gold announcement, there Seemed to be a pretty fair supply of stock, especially In Sugar. Most operators expected a strong opening and a higher market to-day. London sold about 10,000 St. Paul and perhaps 3.0&0 Louisville & Nashville. It was » buyer at the low point, but a sell again at the close. The gold Importation is regarded as part of the Syndicate undertaking, but It does r.ot Imply lo.i.v rates for time money, and until time money Is more plentiful It is doubtful ,i< any large sustained advance will be undertaken. Hally A Miller sold nbOHf 15,000 Reading directly, and about 3,'WO through brokers. The stelllng was pirt of an ordfer which has been in the market for some time. The original order was sell about 25,000 shares. About 8,000 were marketed some weeks ago. A block of the income bonds were sold yesterday presumably for the same account. It is understood that the selling was for a I'hUadelphia interest, which acquired the •ecurities prior to 1888. Hides and Calamity Howls. Shoe and Leather Review. The market for country hides is in a peculiar position. On the one hand the receipts are not large, and on the other, if any dealer should attempt to force sales' the quotations would go down. The tanners are exceedingly cautious, and can not be Induced to buy hides except as they require them to operate their plants. The export movement of packer hides continues, but the domestic demand seems

slmost dead.

There Is a non-partisan movement on foot among the largest business houses of _tbe country having for Its object the ^'"'restoration of financial confidence and business prosperity. The politicians have In their z#l overdone the business of circulating calamity bowls. If every one expresses a lack of confidence, trade falls flat at once, without any regard to the actual condition of affairs. It Is time to sti.p sectional tirades and dismal forebodings. No matter what happens, manufa. turing and commerce must continue. It is neither wise nor patriotic to make sweeping denunciations of whole communities and by the circulation of the most sensational and alarming reports paralyse with fear every buyer of goods. The campaign should be conducted with conservatism and moderation and with some regard to the immense Interests that are Involved.

roads to take part therein. The fact is the cut rates are credited with having started the corn movement to Chicago, which is now about all the freight a number of the roads have to rely on for their earnings, and they will not do anything likely to interfere with It. It was said to-day that the Missouri Pacific had abandoned all hope of getting a conference before the end of *1116 month at all events, but it hopes by that time that other traffic will have revived to such an extent that the corn roads will then be willing to listen to arguments in support of the advance of grain rates. A Thlav of ThT Pa«t. Chicago Daily Bulletin. A dispatch from the East states that the millers’ combination is a thing of the past, and the millers are free to do as they please once more. Milwaukee members of the combine deny the report, although admitting that there Is some foundation for it. They state that the minimum selling price has been removed, and that there is now no limit to selling either way. Otherwise, It was asserted, all of the agreements were in force, and the association was fully as active a*- ever. The removal of the selling price limit, however, will operate to place the Eastern members on the same footing as the Western mills, and probably those at Minneapolis. The Batter and Eg;m Trade. Chicago, August 20.~Tbe Daily Trade Bulletin to-day issued its annual report of the supplies of butter and eggs stored In the principal cities of the United States. Returns were received from 113 points. Stocks of butter 772,900 tubs, against 627,700 tubs last year, an increase of 23 per cent.

Detective Stillwell has been working on the case for three years in Mrs. Snell’s interest, and his invesilgat.ons have proven that there were two men named A. J. Davis. Both were miners; both worked in California, and they strongly resembled each other. He found, however, that the A. J.
