The reports from Russia continue variable, but the feaeral summing up Is that the wheat crop will be exceedingly short, and mar cut much smaller figure than heretofore in the European market. The promise of a good yield, however, comes from India, and crop conditions In Argentine are reported to be satisfactory. Grata aad Provision Motes. ( J - [By A. W. Thomson ■ WlrS.] Liverpool opened %& and closed %d higher for December wheat. This shows a strong tone with the dull markets on this side. It is singular that the speculative trade la ao small when the movement of wheat both In and out Is so large. A revival of speculation is all that Is needed to Insure better prices with present condition In our opinion. Milwaukee: A prominent miller here has a letter from Constantinople, asking for offer of American flour. This is from a new Quarter, and he takes It as conOrmation Of Russian shortage. •t. Louie: Our receipt* over 200,000 for two days, but 1S4 cars are through billed, and It la hard wheat going to seaboard. Kelly says be can’t figure more than 750, WO increase in visible for Monday. Cash wheat fully 1c higher to-day, with an excellent demand. Minneapolis: Two firm* sold #6,000 bar. re Is flour yesterday, mostly for domestic account. Stocks here will Increase for week 150,000. Duluth will decrease 800,000. Cash wheat very strong, price* 1c higher than yesterday. Millers taking everything offered. New York: Cash demand for Wheat good.

Southwestern mills are generally running full capacity and keeping down surplus stocks, but complain of lagging trade. Prices declined slightly In most Southern markets during the week. Foreign Inquiry is improved and exports are being more freely booked at close prices.” Weathwr forecast: Illinois, Missouri, Michigan and Nebraska-Threatening weather to-night: cooler.

Brokers’ Gossip.

[By L W. Louis's Wire.]

New York, Octobsr 7.-The opening of market was characterised by Irregularity. There seemed to be oenslderable pressure to sell the Pacific stocks and the grangers were inclined to heaviness. On the other hand. Sugar showed considerable strength and Metropolitan advanced sharply on comparatively light purchase. Of course the reason given for the decline in the Paclflc atocka waa the report that distensions existed between Mr. H1U and Mr. Morgan. Apparently London does not take much stock in this story, as foreign houses were large buyers of Northern Paclflc common around 40 and moderate buyers of Union Paclflc at MfcOSS*- The Flower stocks were steady, support being accorded them whenever the bears became aggressive Sentiment ontHugar In the room is less pessimistic than for some time. The trade is thinking that the stock is oversold and there is a possibility that the manipulators who are undoubtedly past masters -of the art, may r see an opportunity to make a sharp turn On the bull side. General conditions which should affect the stock (Sugar) remain unchanged. The fight In the refined sugar trade Is on and shows no

signs of diminishing. Primary Markets.

Primary market receipts of wheat were 1.7-42.510 bushels, against 1.543,155 bushels the corresponding day of last year. Minneapolis received && cam of wheat and Duluth 488 cars, a total of 1.019 cars, against 1,126 cars the correeponding day

Broom Cora Crop. (Orange Judd Farmer.]

The crop la not moving very freely, partly because It Is late in maturing and baling Is not well advanced, and partly because buyers are rather holding off. Prices show some Indications of a tendency toward stiffening, and wWR growers, as a rule, are not averse to selling, they are well convinced that fair values will rule for the crop. In Illinois, brush is bringing |60e^ a ton, with some choice lots ranging a little higher. There is less > range In price than usual on account of uniformity In quality. In Kansas less is 1 doing, wUh nominal prices between *40

and $60, but with more range than in 111 no 1*. The amount of old brush carried over Is smaller, especially in Illinois,

WM!

where firm rtocka »re practically gone and commercial stocks very light In Kansas there appears to be more old * brush, possibly 10 per cent, of last year’s crop, out not enough to cut any material

(San Waadaco Commarcial Raws. Sant- 2S.] Private advices from Australia report that.

Canadian and Amerlcsin Flour. [Montreal Trade Bulk-tin ] It teems that the Cnlted States Is cutting US OUt to a great extent in the Newfoundland flour trade, aa we learn that American straight roller flour is selling cost and freight at St. John, Newfoundland, at about the same pru* as it would cost to lay down Ontario straight rollers in this market, but a dealer here stated to-day that the American flour was admited by receivers In Newfoundland to be not worth as much as the Canadian flour by 15c a barrel. It answers the same purpose, however, and the lower price is the great inducement. CITY WHOLESALE QUOTATIONS. Current Quotations on Various

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat waa Strong from the Start

and Bidder* Were Plenty.

Chicago, October 7.—Wheat to-day showed a good deal of strength from the start. There were plenty ol bidders for December at the opening at 62%063c, an advance of over yesterday's closing price. Bids were generally for snvril Ims. But offerings of <my kini were scarce at first and the price soon moved up to 530

63He.

' After the first demand had been satisfied the market lapsed into its usual extreme dullness, but notwithstanding the light trade, prices were well maintained. Routine news favored buyers, Liverpool showing %e advance, while continental markets all showed strength.'Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were moderate at 1,019 cars, compared with 1,266 cars last week and 1,426 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 262 cars, fourteen of contract grade. Northwest cash markets were strong, Minneapolis being a cent higher, with millers taking all offerings. This feature of the cash situation had a good deal of influence on traders. New York reported foreigners small buyers of options at the opening. Corn was quiet but firm and higher Cables showed strength. Receipts were 863 cars. The market was helped by wheat. There was a fairly good general demand. Yesterday's heavy seaboard sales had some Influence. December opened *40^40 higher at 29%©297ic, and advanced to 29%03Oc Oats were dull but firm. There were no Independent influences, the market merely reflecting the strength of wheat and corn. Receipts were 388 cars. May opened a shade higher at 2274023c, and held at 23c. Provisions were practically at a standstill. A steady hog market caused a like feeling in provisions at tne opening. jPrices later showed some tendency to decline on the yellow fever news.

STOCKS, MONEY AND BONDS. Downward Tendency Shown at the Opening—Bnslnes* Dull. New York, October 7.—The course of the whole market, with one or two unimportant exceptions, was downward at the opening. Losses were limited to a Vi, except in Northern Pacific, which fell about a point, in spite of a small advance in Lopdon for that stock. Sugar opened up a fraction higher, but more than lost it immediately. Effective, support soon developed in the specialties,! and prices advanced rapidly on manipulating orders. Metropolitan forged steadily upward, and touched 165. Other local transportation shares sympathized to a fractional extent. Sugar and Tobacco advanced per cent, each, but the latter became weak toward the end of the hour, and lost two points. Railway shares Improved sympathetically, but did not fully regain the earlier losses. Northern Paclflc was very active and rallied to above 40. The downw’ard tendency in Tobacco, which extended its extreme decline 3t4 points, caused realization in other industrials. Sugar and Metropolitan Street Railway lost materially. Edison Electric continued its recent fall to the extent of three more points. Business was exceedingly dull, but general heaviness prevailed. Sales to noon, 142,434 shares. Bonds were firm.

The Ma**achnaett* Fisheries. The Massachusetts fisheries are rapMl;.’ Icclir.ing, Ptuiding to n r< ;>urt recently issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and this is thought to be due to the reckless and wasteful pursuit of the fish. It is shown that the number of people employed in the fisheries has fallen from 11,743 in 1885 to 11,093 in 1895. The working capital declined in the same period from $7,652,089 to $4,488,564, or over 40 per cent. The value of apparatus employed was $725,152 in 1885 and $599,267 in 1895, a decrease of 17 per cent. Measured by value, the total catch of 1895 was considerably less than that of 1885, due largely to the exceptionally small haul of mackerel In 1895. Measured by quantity, the 1896 catch was the larger of the two. The greatest falling off In the fisheries Is in the mackerel catch. From 1886 to 1894 the number of barrels of pickled mackerel inspected at Boston and Gloucester averaged less than 60,000 a year. In the twenty-five years previous to 1886 the number o} barrels averaged nearly 200,000 a year. 1 From 1820 to 1838 the number of barrels varied from 110.000 to 338,548. The catch of haddock in 1895 was more than double that of 1885, and the same is true of herring:, while the cod catch rose from 77,729.196 pounds in 1885 to 81,092,958 in 1895. During the same period the oysters dredged fell from 86 %4 to 71,222 bushels, and the lobsters cautrht from 3,376,724 to 2,119,587 pounds. —————1>

[Special Correspondence Indianapolis News.] Washington, D C., October 7.—At the old Ebbitt, which has long been hotel headquarters for army and navy officers who are here on leave or orders, may frequently be seen nowadays groups of men in blue, wearing shoulder-straps or other Insignia of rank, denoting the branch of service to which they belong. Not a few of them now here have well earned a respite from the hardships of the field, the "demnltion grind” of the camp, or confinement on shipboard in perilous seas. These officers but a few weeks ago were in Cuba or Porto Rico, or cruising in the Antillean waters, where the earth was soaked and water dyed with the blood of the brave who fell in some of the most remarkable conflicts of modern times. The ever well set-up West Pointer and tho dapper, suave Naval Academy men mingle with volunteer offleere, who are more or less martial In appearance—generally less, but with the bearing of men you may safely conjecture are of good soldier material. Here and there, now and then, you see one who has been wounded, pierced by a Mauser or struck by a piece of shell. Yonder, leaning upon a stout cane, stands a Rough Rider sergeant, with his left leg wound around his cane support, and you note that the limb has been shortened. It was the work of a treacherous explosive bullet, sheathed in poisonous brass, a munition that has been interdicted in the warfare of to-day. The Rough Rider caught the missile on the fiery slope of San Juan hill, on July 1, the day his regiment glorified the volunteer service. He is talking to a group of cavalry officers of the Ninth and Tenth Regiments, who were his comrades of Woods’s brigade ill their resistless charge upon the three Spanish block-houses, whose desperate defense made all the more brilliant the charge of the troopers, dismounted and armed but with revolver and carbine. Knocked Galley West. Among these officers talking? there Is a young lieutenant, whose cheek was penetrated by a Mauser and a fine set of teeth knocked galley west. A well-set molar on the further side of the jaw had deflected the little steel bullet, and It had traversed the fleshy part of the neck and lodged in that part of the anatomy, where Its presence was detected by X-ray research. The young officer Is now spending his most anxious hours in Wasnlngton with a dentist, who is working to restore the symmetry of the teeth by trimming and straightening. The wounded man’s grinders had been so shaken up that he has been compelled for weeks to eschew solid food. A casual glance will discover no scar where the bullet entered the face. Only by the closest scrutiny of a good eye can the little mark be descried. It appeared to confirm the statement that the velocity of the Mauser Is so great that It cauterizes as it enters flesh, the severed parts closing over the place of entrance. This is a young officer of tne Ninth Cavalry, a W r est Point graduate from Maine —Lieutenant Wood. Beside him stands a slender, straight young lieutenant, of the Tenth Cavalry, a West Point graduate from Alabama— Lieutenant Vldmer. Thorough Northerner and all-over Southerner, one the son of a Union veteran, and the other w’hose father fought for the Confederacy, together these two youths typified as nothing else could do the patriotic consummation of a united country in the din and ardor of victorious battle against a common foe. Among the group is haired, white-bearded tnan, wnose aark eyes beam with pleasure as he listens to « e ,* in n :na ’t e d chatter of reminiscences of the younger officers. He was with them at San Juan, and led a squadron SftriSn bl00dy H htlL 11 18 Lieut.-cSL Norvell, recently promoted for gallantry and transferred from the Ninth, in which in the Cuban campaign, he was a major! HI# Last Fight. o J? 1 ,? ^ old 1334111 has fouKht his last fight, he said, a little sadly, and, when asked how, his reply, corroborated by his fellow-offioers, was that in four months he would be sixty-four years old, and would retire from the service. Colonel Norvell was a veteran of the civil wax , ga i lantly ln the Arm y °* Cumberland. Another of the group Is burly, genial Captain Beck, also a veteran of the civil war, and who won the proud .distinction of being the first commissioned officer to reach the crest of San Juan hill. “Did you see General Wheeler in the fight?” he was asked. v There was a hearty affirmative all round and words of cordial praise spoken for the famous little cavalry chieftain. Yes, indeed; he was .there in every sense,” was the response of one of the officers. ‘T saw him several times during' the fight, under fire and looking uadealsingly after the integrity of the lines. With shells bursting all around him. he seemed cooler that I hear he is tvhen attending to business here In Congress.” Fresh as is the story, and much as their deeds have been blazoned in the press, it is something of memorable pleasure to meet and talk to heroes of Santiago in as agreeable mood as one may find them. A common theme among theae returned sold'ers is the pounds of fLsn they lost in the campaign. They had lost from twenty to forty each. “Altogether," remarked Captain Beck, with a twinkle of humor In his eyes,’’ our army must have lost about a million pounds of good, American flesh In and around Santiago.” The Colored Troop*. When the group separated one of them promised to gratify curiosity for incidents, and especially to learn his estimate, as a Southerner, how the colored troops fought at Las Quaslmas and San Juan. He fulfilled his promise. This Is his story, elicited despite modest disclaimers* of his own gallantry, which had been commended by one of his Union veteran superior officers: “The darkies fought as well as any troops, both at La Quasimas and San Juan," he said. “You know, of course, that one squadron—Norvell’s, of my regiment—the Tenth—was in the Las Quaslmas fight, as it is sometimes called. We lost one killed and eight wounded there. This fight was looked upon by a great many as a mere skirmish, but most of us who were in It thought it guite a battle. The Spaniards were twice our number, and occupied a formidable position, which we took by assault, charging up a bullet-swept ridge. The First Regular Cavalry had one squadron and the famous Rough Riders two in this fight. The First and Tenth attacked the enemy in front and the Rough Riders their right flank. "Yes, that was my first experience under fire. 1 did not mind it much after about ten mintues. for then I got busy with the men, and it proved a. good nerve tonic. It Is those who have to stand still and do the waiting act who grow nervous. We all felt proud of being in the first battle in the campaign against Santiago de Cuba, for our men did beautifully. They were cool and obeyed orders and all commands of the officers promptly. When wounded, they did not cry out. or even call for assistance, but tried manfully to make their way back to the surgeon without help from any one. '"1 he La Quaslmas light was on the 24th of June. On that evening our other squadron ,joined us and remained in camp on the bettle-fleid until the morning of the 27th. -w^hen we moved forward about two miles and a-half, and there camped until late in the afternoon of June 30. the day before our real bap tlsm of tire before Santiago. ordered to Pack Ip. “It waa about 3:30 p. m. on the 30th that we were ordered to pack up; that

we were going to tak* position for a bat lie the next day. We marched toward the front until late that night and, in company with our good friends of the First Regulars, with life First Volunteer Cavalry—the Rough Riders— in support of Grimes's battery, took position on El Poso. These two regiment4, with ours, composed tha Second Brigade of Wheeler s cavalry division, and was commanded by Colonel Wood, of the Rough R'ders. Our brigade commander. General Yeung, had been taken seriously sick at our last camp, and had to be carried to a ship at Siboney. “As we passed some of the infantry on our way to the front, we could hear such remarks sts There goes the Tenth Cavalry. Look out for another fight,’ and this: 'There goes the Tenth, at a gait that would take the legs off of U3, and carrying pack#, too, heavier than

we do.’

“Early on the morning of the 1st of July you know what happened. Everything turned loose—hell and all. Those shrapnel fired at Grimes’s battery, in our vicinity, made anything but pleasant music. At ter a while we were moved down close to El Poso and taken forward on the road to San Juan Hill, until we struck the ford. Here we halted under fire of ehrapnel and Mausers, whlo were just raining down ujron that Infernal balloon. The bloated thing was following right alongside of our regiment, and only about 150 feet high. Wc remarked It as a piece of criminal carelessness. *'We deployed to the right a# quickly as we could through the thick underbrush, and all the time under a very hall of death-bringing messengers, that sung and whistled and belted and pelted the proximity of that fiendish alr-shlp. Then what did they do but bring the big, white-bellied mark right among us! Couldn't Hit a Balloon. 'T involuntarily thought of that old baseball phrase, ‘couldn’t hit a balloon,' and shuddered to think of the other things more precious that were being grievously hit, for here we lost our men— four and five In a bunch. One of my men, shot through both legs while passing near the balloon, quite aptly evoked our eympathetic sentiment# when he said: ‘What In de hell, did dey pull it down here for? Ain't dey got no kind o’ common sense? De damn fool#!’ *T am inclined to doubt,” said the young officer, with fine sarcasm, “If the art of war contemplates using a balloon close over a firing line. “It was while wading across the San Juan river to go up the hill that we appreciated old Sherman’s center-shot definition of war. We realized Its hadean character fully at what we now refer to as 'Death’s Crossing and the Valley of tne Shadow.’ After deploying, we were still in the woods, and had to work our way forward, now and then stopping to force a way through the numerou# wire fences that confronted us. Now, you remember there were three block-houses on what is known as San Juan hill. There seems to be a Ft. San Juan—the block-house, on the high hill—then a San Juan hill, which I understand to be that Irregularly outlined crest where we were intrenched on the nights of July 1 and 2. ‘Our right moved on the first blockhouse in sight from the El Poso road and in front of Ft. San Juan, our left well extended into an open field 8 !' 11 ia not the easiest thing to tell what any particular troop did; flr=f tha £ “ we rooved on the first block-house, then went on over and up the San Juan ridge, there were no troops—not a man between us and the Spanish trenches. The Rough Riders went in on our right, but I should say we were rather mixed up when we went onward, with Colonel Roosevelt leading. Top of the Hill, “To the right of the Rough Riders was the First, but what was further to the right I don't know. When we reached the top of the hill and took advantage of cover, we were a happy lot, overcome with that indescribable feeling of victory won after a desperate fight. The Spaniards continued firing from other trenches to which they had retreated, about a thousand yards nearer the city, and which environed another one of their block-houses, which, in their warfare with the Cubans, they ha<l come to believe were Impregnable.. “Later In the evening the firing became heavier for about an hour, but when night closed, like us, our enemies were ready enough for a rest. But ours was not all repose. That night we intrenched, for we were confident the Spaniards would try to retake this position, on account of its important defensive strength. “I can scarcely do Justice In describing the numerous incidents that came under my observation that day, nor remember many of those told by others who were in the scrapping. Bravery, daring and even rashness, made the first of July a glorious and wonderful day for American arms. We lost heavily, especially in officers. You see, with colored troops, an officer takes greater risks necessarily than with white soldiers. It was manifest enough in our case. The officers were easily distinguished by the difference of complexion, as well as by their uniforms and movements, indicating leadership. So It was that the Spanish hit a good many human targets that wore shoulder-straps in the Ninth and Tenth Regiments. “On the second we opened up with our light batteries, and then began one of the hottest days I ever knew. The sun was merciless. I’ll not forget that day, if I live to be a hundred. "In the trenches, within a foot of a dead Spaniard, with men all around In different stages of collapse, and subjected to desultory but spiteful firing for eleven

hours.

After Snnaet. “Soon after sunset we went back under the hill for a supper of bacon and coffee, after which we moved further to the right, changing places with the Ninth Cavalry. “On the night of the 2d was the memorable night attack, in which Admiral Cervera's marines bore a conspicuous part. We were Intrenching when the affa.ir began, and, of course, we had to exchange pick and shovel for carbine and cartridge. The 3d we spent In the trenches, doing heavy guard duty and keeping vigilant and ready for anything. Here wt lay until the surrender of the city, building bomb-proofs, getting an occasional batch of letters from home, and getting, too. an occasional square meal. Our men soon began to feel the effects of sleeping down on the damp earth of the trenches, and before we half knew it. our sick report was showing from fifty to seventy-five men a day. •‘After the surrender, we were marched out into the hills, about four miles, to higher ground, in order to get away from the dampness. Here, after two or three days, our quartermaster had our tent# brought to us, with field ovens and other articles needful to our comfort. “I understand that the primary reason for sending us to the hills was to see if the fever the men had was malaria or any form of Yellow Jack. If it turned In our favor, the dismounted cavalry were to be rent to the United States to recuperate, recruit ami get ready for a fall campaign against Havana. The entire cavalry division was moved to the same camp ground on the 18th of July, but it was not until the 6th of August that It was decided that we should begin moving to the transports. , American Louie#. "You ask of our losses? It brings a fullness to my heart when I think of that. The two officers killed of our regiment were among the best friends I ever had. Ideal cavalrymen, tall, strong, athletic, born commanders, Lieutenants Shinn and Smith, of the Tenth, were officers such as rarely grace or honor a regiment. They themselves were devoted friends since they had met at west Point, where they had roomed to* gether for four years, and to their delight. on graduating, had been assigned to the same regiment, living and loving as brothers. They were killed not fifty yards apart, Just as we started up San Juan hill. Out of twenty-three of our officers, two were killed and nine wounded. For the number engaged, we lost more thin any other regiment In the Santiago campaign. “And still you are harping on incidents? Well, we are prouder of our regiment than ever, as when one of our captains was asked what regiment his was —It was in the hour of triumph on San Juan hill—proudly answered.- -The Imperial Guards, sir.’ " "There’l old Sergeant Berry, of G Troop, who comes first to the mind* of many a map la th# regiment,

a# he thinks of the glories of those 4l . first three day# . of July before Santiago. He was colorbearer on the first day. He furnished a truly heroic picture of gallantry that day. He was in the van of the' charge up San Juan hill,bearing the colors In one hand and his carbine In the other, when he discovered, lying on the ground to the right of our regiment, a flag belonging to another of our regiments—the First Cavalry. The game old sergeant darted out from the ranks, picked up th# fallen banner, shook out It folds high in the air, and, with a yell, went on up the hill waving to the men his double set of Stars and Stripes. How the men cheered him! .He Is an original member of the regiment, and has over thirty years to

hla credit.

Marched While Wounded. “A man in my troop was snot through the fleshy part of both leg*. He followed along for over an hour before he gave up from exhaustion. When I told him he had better go to the field hospital, he said he guessed he could ’hold out,’ and on he trudged with blood oozing from his leggins. “Sergeant Foster, of G Troop, took charge of the troop after Lieutenant Smith was killed, and led It gallantly up the hill. Officers from other regiments, who noticed his conduct, came over to our camp to praise his gallantry. The bravery of the officers was all It should be. They led the men and they followed like obedient demons. Captain Bigelow was wounded three times In the thick of the fighting on the hill. Major* Wlnt. while directing the firing line, was shot through the upper part of the left leg and seriously wounded. All the other officers, Including Lieutenant Roberts, who waa shot through the body b; Mauser, are now lit to return to

by a their

regiments.’
