Tb« action of the wheat market today indicated that there were two eidee to the trade, instead of one. as appeared W be the case tarly In the week. While SaMtr were only aliffhtly weaker and reports of foreign acoeptancee were noted, there was a dlspcattion to sell on the part of large operators, who are quite willing to see some reaction. It was a Saturday market, and re all ling brought lower prices. The opening was %o to 1c under last night s close. Some . reaction followed, but later a report of lower French cables was started, and September declined to 75%c, ralying *c at the dose. Private advices said cables ware really strong. Tbe exports for the week were M0S.M0 bushels; for to-day MS.M9 bushels. The visible supply Is not expected to show much much change. Corn eras moderately active and lower. The drought scare seems to have subsided. and offerings to arrive are made

with more freedom.

Oats declined moderately.

Provisions, which early In the week became strong, were lower, but changes today were small. The cash trade is reported satisfactory, and this prevents any vtobint demonstrations against the

market, f

Totals <22.398.022 Inc. .12.0 GAINS IN GENERAL TRADE. Bradstreet'* Shews Active Business gad Better Prtees. New York, August 7.—Bradstreet's to day says: General trade shows the most pronounced gains this week at Chicago. St. Louis and Galveston. The feeling of confidence that general business is to Improve In the early autumn is marked at these cities, and purchases of dry goods, clothing, shoes and other staples have Increased heavily and are followed bv a disposition to crowd prices up. Purchases were restricted st Kansas City. Omsha and some other Northwestern points early in the week, owing to extreme heat and fears of damage to the Indian com crop, but rains and cooler weather have stimulated demand again. On the Pacific coast business is brisk, the feature In California being heavy wheat shipments to Ban Francisco; at Portland large exports of lumber, and at Seattle and Tacoma active demand for supplies for Alaska and the Northwest Territory, and for wheat, fruit and hops. Tbs movement of general merchandise throughout the country is unquestionably larger than last week, cotton goods and woolen industries are better off and the it agnation in iron and steel has given way to a growing inquiry and Increasing output. But more significant still is the extraordinary expansion In bank clearings this week and last month. The upward tendency of prices during the past three weeks Is again a feature, wool being firmer and higher for some “ lea Cotton yarns are stronger also, grades of cottons at tha no higher, but leather ore than a week ago. twithstanding the reacoptions), wheat flour, coast hops, sugar, soft is a 25-cent advance at Pittsburg, where for future dellv and for iron sheets at Westour predicted resteel has appeared, and print cloths

MOR.OOO bushels two years ago. 216.000 bushels three years ago. and as contrasted with 1.831.000 bushels In the like week of 1893. Wheat la ladlana. Indiana Cnrraapoadenca Northwestern Miller. The weather seems to have pretty generally settled, and farmers have been able to thrash more wheat in good condition. notwithstanding the scare of a week ago. While most of tho wheat is Bow either thrashed or taken care of. so that the weather will not Injure tt. farmers do not seem disposed to deliver very freely. They seem to he-selllng only what they are obliged to, and are holding JusC as much as they can. There are several reasons for this. In the first place, the farmer never was known to sell wheat while the market was advancing, and. In the second place, for tne last two rears, farmers have sold their wheat early in tho season at a very low figure, and then during the spring menths following it has commanded a rauch higher price, and this has influenced them to hold, as far as possible, hoping to realise mofe for it later on. Flpur Is still lower than wheat, and on account of wheat buyers representing Chicago and other wheat markets In this country, as well as foreign parties, the price has neen advanced beyond the exr station of anybody in the trade. Unless am very badly mistaken, we will have a slump very soon. If it does not come early In August. I look for even higher markets than wo are now having.

Brokers’ Gossip. By L. W. Louis's Wire. New York, August 7.—Wortley says: The market yesterday was broader than on any day since the bull movement set In. a larger number of Issues having been traded In than on any previous day. People who have been right on Sugar say that It will go to 150 next week. The bears are confidently predicting a level considerably below that figure for It. The public has come to the conclusion that the talk about the Dlngley bill not affording as much protection as the Wilson bill Is mere talk, and promulgated for effect upon the stock. The facts of the matter seem to be that the trust Is getting considerable more protection. Yesterday's report for the State Board of Agriculture of Kansas shows that conditions there are very good, despite a rather severe Injury to corn. What damage has taken place in Kansas has been mostly confined to the Western half. The Eastern portion, where most of railroad mileage Is, has been relatively free from crop damage. The advance In Leather is said to be on Improved trade conditions. First Markets. Primary market receipts of wheat were 826,000 bushels, against 580,000 bushels the corresponding day of last year. Minneapolis received 119 cars of wheat and Duluth 39 cars, a total of 158 cars, against 274 cars the corresponding day last year. St. ". Louis: Receipts—Wheat 136,000 bushels, corn 61,000 bushels, oats 73,000 bushels. Shipments—Wheat 3,000 bushels, corn 86,000 bushels, oats 6,000 bushels. Toledo: Receipts—Wheat 145,818 bushels. corn 35,849 bushels, oats 33.000 bushels. Shipments—Wheat 146,800 bushels, corn 11,600 bushels, oats none. Chicago: Receipts—Wheat 91,532 bushels, corn 609,700 bushels, oats 647.060 bushels. Shipments—Wheat 248,025 bushels, corn 260,345 bushels, oats 490,536 bushels. Estimated receipts at Chicago: Wheat 200 cars, com 1,100 cars, oats 500 cars, hogs 39,000 head. Omaha received 4,600 hogs and Kansas City 6,600 hogs. Exports of wheat and flour were: Wheat 366,346 bushels, flour 38,656 packages. equivalent to 542.000 bushels of wheat; corn 753,547 bushels. Moss aad Products. Drover*' Journal. The comparatively liberal packing operations in the West make it look as If fairly liberal supplies of hogs might be counted upon, considering the season, but tbe improvement in the demand for all kinds of meats at home and abroad is a big factor In present calculations that must not be overlooked. Higher prices for hogs means higher prices for stored hog products put up at low figures. and so it is argued that packers will not very fiercely oppose high hog prices. On the other hand, receipts are large enough for the season, the pig crop heavy, and with’ plenty of com, and such good prospects, it would be unreasonable to look for anything except big Jiog receipts aft the fall season comes on.

Grain and Provision Notes. By O. D. Weaver A Co.’s Wire. Chicago: The wheat pit is exceedingly bearish.' It has been a liquidating market, without support. Liverpool was off while Paris was up, equal to 2W(P 7c per bushel. The Liverpol break counted. The Paris advance did not

count much.

Not much dclng In provisions this morning. Tho market is ‘n the hands of

scalpers. Receipts of hogs have been

Provisions.

Cincinnati Price Current, August 5.

The provision trade Is having a share of the tendency to activity and higher values, which is being shown in other lines, and the week closes with considerable advance in prices of leading articles. The business of distribution, however, is so much monopolized by the larger concerns that the other dealers do not command as liberal a proportion of the demand for the product, especially from Southern markets, as they should seemingly have. The export movement of product continues liberal, the week's clearances being decidedly In excess of corresponding time last year, notably

In meats.

Boston Wool Market. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter says: The market is even more a waiting market that It was last week. The trade as a whole are not free sellers. The diminution of activity Is not accompanied by sagging qudtations. Wool is now practically cleaned up in the West. Sales of fleece wool have been light, and large amounts of terltory have been sold. Sales of foreign are small. The Boston sales for the week aggregated 7,987,000 pounds, of which 5.385,000 pounds were domestic, and 2,002,000 pounds foreign. Decrease la Business Failures. There aro 214 business failures reported throughout the United States this week, compared with ®9 last week, 269 In the week a year ego, y# In the corresponding wee.k of 1895, 197 in the like week of 1894 and 474 in the first week of August, 189.1. There are forty-one failures reported from the Dominion of Canada this week. compared with thirty-two last week wad thirty-five In the week a year ago. CITY WHOLESALE <4UO ONS.

INDIANA SPIRITUALISTS Expect To-Morrow to a Great Day at Thetr Camp. Special to The Indian*poll* News. • Chesterfield. Ind., August 7.—The Indiana Spiritualists expect to-morrow to be the banner day of the meeting. There were 3,000 people in camp last Sunday. The Rev. C. F. Grumbine will lecture tomorrow morning, after which Mrs. Ropp will give tests. Mrs. Eva Pfuntner will lecture in the afternoon. Mrs. Pfuntner fills Mrs. A. H. Luther’s appointments, owing to the latter’s ill-health. Excursions will be run from Indianapolis and points on the Michigan division to the camp, arriving at 8:30 Sunday momlng. Persons who come here from a distance are not all Spiritualists, but a great number are attracted through curiosity, while ethers are induced to come throngh the expectation that they may communicate with dead friends. It is reported that messages from Oliver P. Morton, James A. Garfield, Abraham Lincoln and U. 8. Grant have been received. These messages, it is said, are of a patriotic nature, and touch upon the political era of the past and present. It is said that a woman from southern Illinois is here seeking information to find a murderer who escaped from Justice. In another seance it is asserted that the spirit of a murdered daughter appeared and related the struggle and agony through which she passed from earth to spirit life. The camp dances will hereafter be for Spiritualists only. Spiritualist Factions United. Special to The Indianapolis New*. Andersm, Ind.. August 7.—The result of the election of officers, as told in The News’s dispatches from the tamp of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists, last evening, indicates the uniting of two tactic ns of Spiritualists who l-.ave for years teen striving for supremacy. One was the faction healed by the late Dr. John Westerfleld. a ho was for three years president of the State association. The other was the Hilllgoss faction, most prominent being Dr. George N. Hilllgoss. of this city. It was several years ajo that the division occurred, and Spiritualirm branched off In two directions here, and It was flrally felt In the State organization. The lapse of time and the passing away of Dr. Wemerfleld combined to bring the two factions together. Dr. Hilllgoss has been on the camp grounds this season, taking an active part in the meetings. When It came to the choosing of officers, the retirement of Mrs. A. H. Luther und the election of a new treasurer marked the strength of the Hilllgoss faction, for Peter Millspaugh, the treasurer-elect, has always affiliated with the Hilllgoss side, and aided much in the building of the Madlson-avenue Spiritualist temple in this city. The lots on which it and a parsonage were erected were given by Dr. Hilllgoss. Dr. Westerfleld’s followers did not go to the temple often, but met at the westerfleld Half

POOR RELIEF LEW.

County Attorney is Asked for Interpretation of the Law.

The county commissioners have asked County Attorney Hovey for an Interpretation of the nett law on tax levies for the relief of the the poor. The township trustees, st a meeting held last Monday, decided to act ip accordance with the views of the commissioners. The new law changes methods of raising funds for the poor which have been followed In this county since 1852. It requires the county auditor to make a report to the commissioners in September of each year of the amounts drawn out of the treasury, and the trustees make the levy which they base on this report. The law provides that If the trustees will not make the levy It is the duty of the commissioners to do so. This method covers for the county treasury the amount paid out. While the expenditure Is the same In the end. It relieves the county commissioners of making the levy, as they formerly did, and places the duty upon the trustees. The object of the law Is to have each township in a county p*y for the care of Its own poor. One result of It, It Is said, will be to Increase the tax levy In Center township. The county attorney says that the new law makes no change in the methods of providing for the main- j tenance of asylums and orphans' homes.
