Th« farmer who aold his wheat above We is now congrratuiatin* himself. Wagon wheal in this market remains at 66c, and seems hardly likely to advance beyond that figure, notwithstanding the scarcity of winter wheat, as the outlook for spring wheat Is better and better. The September wheat cloeed to-day at ®%c, being an advance of %<s over yesterday's close. September corn still hovers about 30c. closing to-day at »«%e split, as against yesterday's close of WV. September oats closed at 13V*c. Craps la Forelpa Coantriea. fLondon Time*, July ».] Although last week was accompanied by the highest temperatures so far recorded this season, it was not a period of uninterruptedly fine weather. There was. It Is true, no general rainfall, but many localities were visited by rain at one or more periods during the week, and. In some cases, thunder-storms of considerable violence were experienced. These rains, wherever they have fallen, have been very acceptable, and root crops and aftermath grass are greatly in need of moisture, the prospects of autumn keep being none too encouraging. Wheat has strengthened Its claims to be regarded as the cereal crop of the season. It has not changed color with undue rapidity, but ripened gradually ana uniformly, and plump, well-tilled ears are a common sight. Unless a spell of wet weather should set tn, wheat-cutting will begin tn early districts In the course of the present week. Some cutting is in progress of winter oats, winter barley and Sainfoin seed, tnough the lull between hay harvest axn^ wheat-cutting Is very generally being occupied In the hoeing or the later-sown root crops, many of which are very foul The deficiency In the grass U r «^ ct «l in the make of English cheese, the output being rea ^ n h lde 1 rably K than last > . ? oouh - shows a falling oft, “•t to a 1*** extent than English. tha circumstance Is not unique, but it Is certainly unparalleled In ^nt year, Uun t)l ' w< 4£ Ijr unttJtsrLi 1S J'^* l8h w J ie V ,hc>ulcl continue f .

During the corresponding four weeks of last year the average price decllned steadily from 42s 4d to 36« lOd—a loss of &s M over a period of one month during which there has this year been no fluctuation whatever. Fin*, warm weather has been experienced over most parts of France. Considerabl* progress has been made with the grain harvest In the South, and a commencement of wheat-cutting took place in the midland departments last week so that the appearance of the new season s grain is speedily looked for In the grain markets. The yield of wheat hardly promises to be as good as was expected. CITY WHOLESALE Wt’OTATIONS. Cor re at Quotations on Varlons " Commodities. Frnlts, Vegetables and Game.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat Opened at a Slight AdvanceCorn and Provisions Firm. Chicago. August 4.—Wheat opened firm to-day at for September, compared with yesterday's closing price of 69*sc. An advance of about %d In the Liverpool market was tho main bullish feature. Northwest receipts were moderate—3U6 cars at Minneapolis and Duluth, compared with 313 last week and 70 a year ago Chicago receipts were 129 cars. 16 of contract grade. Of the local receipts only 61 cars were new wheat. A year ago almost the entire receipts consisted of new wheat, and the slowness with which new wheat is arriving was a supporting Influence. Opening prices, however, were at call figures and over, and after a rally to 69^@697^ September fell back to A moderate Increase in the visible was looked for. Corn was firm at the opening, helped by higher cables end hot weather complaints from the Southwest. The disposition to buy on damage reports was checked by heavy rains In Iowa and Nebraska, and predictions of cooler weather. Receipts were 427 cars. September opened higher at 3OA*©301ic ( and declined to SOf.c. Oats were dull. Strength around the opening disappeared when corn declined. Receipts were large, 474 cars. The large proportion of new oats. 356 cars, was a bear influence. September opened higher at 19Hc and declined to 1!* 1 4©19Hc. Provisions were firm and higher. The hog market was strong and the yellow fever scare had apparently subsided. Some
opened about .0&%c higher, at 5.37t4c, and advanced to 5.40c. September ribs opened about .06c higher, at 6 10c. eased off to 6.07Hc and reacted to 5.10c.

Grain Letter.
[By A. W. Thomeon's Wire.]
Chicago, August 4.—Notwithstanding cables were firmer, wheat values were not maintained, September selling as low at one time as it has sold, and buying against puts appeared to be the only reason for the slight advance we had. Cash demand does not appear to be Improved, but acceptances in the country are reported to be much lighter. Should this continue, it will have a firming effect, as It will be shown in receipts. Foreign markets have a holiday until next Tuesday.and the market will l?, ck ^M tever . eftect caw™ might have. We think a large short Interest is accumulating tn this break and any radical change in sentiment would cause a sharp upturn. Stocks in the Northwest will will decrease about 600,000 bushels. Country elevator stocks are reported to have decreased 1.000,000 bushV* ;to r the week. New York reports 10 loads wheat and 30 loads com taken for export.

Brokers' Gossip. [By L. W. Louis’s Wire ] New York. August 4.—Two stocks again furnished the principal interest in the market, namely, Tennessee Coal and American Tobacco. As to American Tobacco, all sorts of rumors are current, but there is one undisputed fact, and that is that the buying Is extremely good. The Japanese story is again to the fore—that the company has already got a footing in that country, and the consumption of cigarettes amounts to 1,000,000 a day, and the Japanese are only Just beginning to like them. There has been a falling off in the speculation In Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The endeavor to create apprehension toy „ circulating a story of Mr. Rossiter’s resignation has fallen to the ground, owing to a contradiction in no'uncertain words from that gentleman himself. Generally speaking, the expectation is that the banks will lose little, if any, currency to the Treasury, and that on the other hand there may be an expansion in the loan item. Generally the market Is steady, but dull. Indianapolis Clearing*. August 4. July 28. Clearings *836,069 52 *732.427 88 Balances 86,563 45 46,175 56 Clearing* In Other Cltle*.

COL. DODGE’S CANDIDACY
He will be Backed for Governor by the Thirteenth District.
[Special to The Indianapolis News.) Goshen, Ind., August 4.—James S. Dodge will go to the Indiana Republican State' convention with the Thirteenth congressional district at his back. A meeting was held at South Bend, which insures this as completely aa anything in the line of politics can be assured. When the last Republican congressional convention v as held at Plymouth an agreement was made whereby the Elkhart county delegation abandoned Cyrus D. Royes, of Elkhart, and gave the vote of the county to Abraham L. Brick, of South Bend. This change of front was the result of an agreement that Dodge should have the district back of him for Governor as far as Brick's influence went. Brick is developing into a man of great strength in the district, and he has stood by his agreement from the first. He has given such loyal support to Dodge that there is little fear of the latter’s success so far as the congressional district is concerned. Dodge's friends have been set to work by the special telegram in The News from Wawasee to the effect that the friends of Senator Shiveley, of Richmond, were keeping their lamps trimmed and burning.

Total Clearing* for the First Seven Months of the Year Larger Than Ever Before Recorded—Percentage of Increase.
New York. August 4.—Bradstreet’s tomorrow will say: July bank clearings are usually of relatively small volume, reflecting as they do, mid-summer quietness in speculation and business. It is no surprise, therefore, to find that the aggregate of bank clearings for that month is smaller than in any preceding month this year, with the exception of February. When comparisons are made with preceding months of July, however, it is found that volume of bank clearings exceeds that of any corresponding month. An especially favorable showing in made when comparison Is instituted with July, 1898, a month of large business and of unprecedented mid-summer clearings. In every instance gains by groups of cities over 1898 prove to be heavier than were shown in June, and when the additional fact is remembered that only two cities of the United States showed decreases in July from July a year ago some idea may be had of the immense expansion in current clearings which has occurred. This practical unanimity in the matter of gains over a year ago is, in fact, a most striking feature of the month's returns. and it Is doubtful if In this respect, at least, the record made in July by the individual cities has «ver been
equaled.
Comparative Increase for July. The total bank clearings at seventy-six Cities for the month aggregate *7,081,026,692, a decrease of 5 per cent, from the June total and of 18.7 per cent, from the record total of March, but a gain of 41.8 per cent, over July a year ago, of 47.3 per cent, over July, 1897; of 102 per cent, over the corresponding month of 1894, and of 53.5 per cent, over July. 1892. Another interesting feature brought out is that the decrease in clearings in the July total this year from that of June is not so large as the falling off in July last year. The increase of 41.8 per cent, in the month Ju*t closed compares with a gain of 36.2 per cent. In June and of 54.6 per cent, in March, the month of largest clearings on record. Every group of cities showed a heavier gain in July than in June, the Middle States group leading, with an increase of 46.7 per cent., closely followed by a gain of 44.6 per cent. In New England. Next important in the matter of Increases shown is the far Western group, with a gain of 38.5 per cent. Every group, however, but one, the Southwestern, shows an increase in exceas of 20 per cent., and in this group it lacks only a fraction of 1 per cent, of
that gain.
As intimated above, the practical unanimity of the cities of the country in showing gains over July a year ago I* a special feature oi the present exhibit. Only two cities—Portland, Me., and Lowell, Mass.—show decrease*, and even In these the losses are small. Among the large cities showing gains, Minneapolis, in the Northwestern group, is prominent, with an increase of 53 per cent. New York and Boston also show large gains, the Increase In the former being 48.4 per cent, and in the latter 48.6 per cent. Among the other important Increases might be mentioned those in Philadelphia and San Francisco—10 per cent, each; Cleveland, 37 per cent.; Pittsburg. 30 per cent.; St. Paul, 28 per cent.; Denver, 27 per cent.; Providence, 36.4 per cent.; Baltimore, nearly 26 per cent.; Chicago, 25 per cent.; Milwaukee, 21 per cent., and bt. Louis and Detroit. 20 per cent. each. Less prominent increases are those reported by Louisville—18.5 per cent.; Cincinnati. 13.4 per rent.: Kansas City. 13 per cent., and
New Olefins, 12 pe* tent. Total for Seven Month*.
For the seven-months' period ending with July the total clearings at seventysix cities aggregate *55,154,485.813, a total, it is hardly necessary to remark, never be fore equaled for that period, 45.7 per cent, larger than the aggregate for 1898, 84.6 per cent, larger than that of 1897, 116.5 uer cent, larger than that of 1894 and 54.5 pet cent, in excess of the seven months’ period of 1892 Here, as in July, the Middle States group leads, with an increase of 56.7 per cent, over last year, followed by the New England States, with a gain ot 34 per cent., and at a greater distance by the Southern group with an Increase ot 22.7 per cent. The Western and Northwestern States show gains in the neighborhood of IS per cent. each, the far Western nearly 14 pef cent., and the Southwestern, tho smallest gam among Amer-
ican cities—11 per cent.
Canadian clearings do not make so fa--arable comparison as they have for some time past, the first decrease, in fact, re-
vorable comparison as they have for some time past, the first decrease, in fact, reported in any month for a long tifne past being noted in July. The total clearings at six cities aggregated *123,296,419. a fractional decrease from those of June and a falling off of a fraction of 1 per cent, likewise from the July total last year. It should be remembered, however, that Canadian clearings at this time a year ago were showing much larger proportionate gains than were noted In the United States. For the seven-months’ period, the showing made in the dominion is a favorable one, the aggregate of clearings at six cities being *874,737.024. * Rain of 9.5 per cent, over 1898. that year in turn showing an Increase
of 26.5 per cent, over 1897. SQUEEZED THE SHORTS.
Sharp Decline in Pi* Iron Warrants
on the Glasgow Exchange.
New York. August 4-The Times says: In reference to the sharp decline in Scotch and Mlddlesborough pig iron warrants on the Glasgow exchange, reported by cable to the Associated Press, it was explained In the trade that it had little if any bearing on the legitimate iron market In Great Britain and the continent. Archer Brown, of Rogers, Brown & Co., said that ho had cable advices, both from {Hiumsow and London, conftrming h!s own understanlltng that the slump was due to the culmination of a corner which had been very successfully engineered in Scotch and Middlefibo-
rough warrant*.
It was well known early in July that practically all warrants were in two or three hands, and the rapid rise near the end of July told the story of the squee/,e of the “shorts.'' Scotch warrants were worth 49a 6d January 1, 1899 ; 54s fid April 7, and 10* 4d July 7 The highest point was reached July 25 at 75s 6d. The drop has been rapid since settlement day, and warrants closed yesterday at 66s 2d. The rise up to July 1 of about 20s a ton was legitimate, and In keeping with the trend of the mar-
kets the world over.
The decline urought speculative figures down to the proper market level. At yesterday’s closing price* Scotch and English pig ruled around *17 at the furnaces, or about *2 a ton above the ruling prices at Birmingham. Ala., or *2 a ton below the ruling prices at Pennsy ( van!a furnaces for like grades or iron. Mr. Brown thought that the sruddenneaa of the decline would temporarily arrest exports of raw pig. but would have no effect whatever on the exporting of iron in lea various finished forms, the movement in which was steadily growing in spite of the high prices rU The total stocks of pig iron in Great

Cause of Deeeeased Exports. Pittsburg. August 4,—The falling off of exports of iron and steel for June, 1899. form* a remarkable chapter In our com-
mercial history, says the American Manufacturer and Iron World. The sole reason assigned Is that the domestic denial:) was too great and material could not be spared for foreign shipment. Many good erders have been turned down by manufacturers for export, but a large percentage cf orders for future delivery will be taken care of. The export of steel fell off from 43,561 tons, at a value at *872,664 in June, 1896. to 19,506 tons, value *420.104, In June. 1899. Billet*. Ingots and bloom* fell off from 4,149 tons, value (78,560, to 1,736 tons, value *44,836, for the same period. There were some Increase* In exports. however, notably steel sheets, which Increased from 8,945.671 pounds, valuo *50,312, to 8,781.222 pound*, value *123,048. Tin and terne plates and tagger*' tin also showed an increase, ranging from 2.270 pound*, value *130, to 9.693 pound*, value *519. The infant tin-plate industry will be pushed with greater vigor when the home demand diminishes, and It wlK not be surprising If It will eventually lead many of the Industries in exporting material. There was a notable Increase In 1 he *xport of wire tods, from 2.753.670 pounds, value *26,169, to 5,372,530 pounds, . value of *57.625. The imports of Iron ore for June. 169R, a* compared with the same month this year -show in Increase from 250 ton* to 43.762 tons, and from *1.065 to *73,160 in value. Imports of bar iron Increased from 4,187,566 pounds, to 5,256,447 for the same period, at a value at *77.710 to *114.060. In fact, many finished materials show an increase in Imports, notably t.n-plate, from 8.253,964 pounds, value *183.569. to 10,309.442 pounds, value *299,049. Ingots and blooms, wire and wire rods and many steel products show an increase in imports as evidence that the country is not producing all It can consume.
ASPHALT COMBINATION.
Elkina Syndicate Absorbs the Western Paving Co. and Branches.
[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Lafayette, Ind., August 4.—Henry "W. Marshall, a Representative In the last Legislature, made pubiie to-day that he hf-s completed a deal whereby the Westen Paving and Supply Company, of Mllwauke", including its branches In Indianapolis. Evansville, Evanston and elsewhere, have been sold to the Elkins syndicate, of New York; consideration, *500.000. Mi. Marshall further says that the transfer will be made next Monday and that he will be general manager of the combined concerns.

tracts.

New York* August 4.—“The dispatch from Austin, Tex., to the effect that At-torney-General Smith has not given consent for the forming of the cattle combination, if It constituted a trust, is correct, as far as it goes,” said George R. Loving, of Ft. Worth. Mr. Loving is in New Y'ork seeking to Interest capitalists in the establishment of an Immense ranch In Texas and New Mexico,, on which 600.000 cattle can be rounded up. “We do not Intend to create a trust,” he said. "I had some correspondence with Attorney-General Smith, and he Indorses the scheme on the lines we propose to pursue. A cattle trust Is Impracticable, and. therefore, could not be successful. Matters are progressing slowly, but satisfactorily, and I have Just received an option from one person who own* one ranch of several hundred thousand acres and 30,000 cattle in New Mexico." Another Advance In Window Glass. [Special to The Indianapolis News ] Muncle, Ind., August 4.—The American Window-Glass Company has announced another advance of 5 per cent, in a scries of advances of 5 and 10 per cent. It Is thought prices have come within 10 per cent, of the top for the present season, or. at least, until the new American trust takes hold. There Is no chance of prices becoming lower, since the American company controls the entire first-hand stock. The local window manufacturers say that indications are for a heavy fall demand. This will make a large hole in the preaetu visible stock, and may lead to starting the fires earlier than anticipated. The Shoe Shank Interest*. Brockton, Mass., August 4.—It is learned here that the manufacturers of steel snoe shanks are forming a company to be capitalized at *200,000.

THE NEW BONDS OF MEXICO
THEY ARE QI OTED ABOVE FAR AT AMSTERDAM.
Mexican Bankers Predict that the Customs Revenues will Next Year Increase 25 Per Ceat. Over the Total of Last Fiscal'Year.
Mexico City, August L—The new 5 per cont. bonds converted debt were quoted atxtvs par at Amsterdam to-day. The news created a very favorable feeling here, for it had not been anticipated U\at tr.e 5 per rent, would go so quickly above par in Europe, although the old 6 per cents had for a long time commanded a premium. The silver debt of this country I- now held wholly in Europe, being distributed in France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain and thpse bond* having l>een purchased at a low price, give excellent interekt. and now, with the improved price, European Investors, who are mostly small capitalists, are well satisfied with the profit they have made In addition to the good interest received In their money. It has been impossible at times to supply the active European demand for Mcx'can silver securities, which represent what is called the Internal debt. Bankers here who have made a study of the revenue conditions predict that the customs revenues will next year Increase fully 25 per cent, over the handsome total of the past fiscal ytar. A largeN amount of foreign capital 1* being Invested in lands and mines and activity in taking up claims for gold and copper properties is noticeable. The number la without precedent In the mining history of this country. Much English capital la now coming In. and it is more judiciously invested than in former years, as the English have learned by experience to rely only on competent expert testimony as to the value of properties. Mr. Chamberlain, British Minister for the Colonies has agreed to subsidise a railway in British Honduras to connect with the road through Yucatan, where the government is putting the Indian tribe? to work on lands allotted to their members in severalty. A project for a standard guage road from this city through to British Honduras Is now under discussion in lamdon. It would be a formidable undertaking, but it is believed by it* projector* that it would open up a treat extent of almost virgin territory unsurpassed for fertility within the borders of the republic.
Panic In Germany Predicted. Berlin, August 4.—The Deptsche Tsges Zeitung publishes a sensational article, predicting a great panic in the German money market. The paper said that, during the last six months, 1.595,000.000 marks of new shares were Issued, of which 518,000.000 marks were industrial securities. which, it is added, exceeds the whole Issue of 1898. A mass of evidence is quoted to prove the existence of unsound speculation. NOTHING FOR THEIR CASH Kootenai Water Co. Stockholders Clamoring tor an Investigation.
New York, August 4.—The Herald says: With apparently nothlrg to show for their Investment of *67,972, many stockholders in the Kootenai Water Supply Company, of Waneta, B. C., are clamoring for a legal investigation of the company’s affairs. Money poured Into the coffer* of this concern from nearly every part of the United State*, although the chihf complainant* are resident* of New York and New Jersey. Most of the complaints are directed against the Rev. Lewis R. Streeter, nowpastor of the Wlltlams-avenue M. E. church. South Brooklyn, through whom many shareholders invested; Stuart W. CV>wan, a lawyer of Mt. Vernon, and George J. Goodhue, manager of the company, whose present location could not be learned yesterday. The Kootenai Water Supply Company, according to its prospectus, was organized under the laws of Arizona, on September 22, 1894. It was capitalized at *1,000,000. in *1 shares. Its main office was in Rochester. N. Y., find its leased mines and property In Waneta, B. C.. the wrest Kootenai mining district. Officers of the company were given as John R. Strauchen, president; H. M. Goodhue, vice-president; M. W. Rundel, secretary and treasurer, and George J. Goodhue, manager and attorney. Directors were Stuart W. Cowan. Mt. Vernon; George J. Goodhue. John R. Strauchen, M. W. Rundel and H. M. Goodhue. Rochester. According to the prospectus, the company had, under a ten-year lease, with privilege of indefinite renewal, all properties owned by the Kootenai Hydraulic Mining Company, including ten placer claims, averaging eighty acres each; three others soon to be granted, and valuable water rights of the Pen d’Oretile river Promises were held out. aside from the returns of the miner, of an assured net Income of *100 a day for leasing water and big profits to be obtained from the sale of town property. Big profits, according to the prospector*, were assured by tests. “It Is unqualifiedly believed.” it was explained, “that the company’s lease upon its placer claims alone is of great value.” Upon these representations many persons Invested. Shareholders, who have made careful investigation, estimate that at least *130,000 was paid into the company’s treasury. A request from the officers for a payment of a 2 per cent, assessment, however, did not meet with general favor among shareholder*, although it took in about *6,000. The investors are dubious about realising
on their shares, and some of them use strong language in epeaktng of the promoters. A UNIQUE REUNION. Matrimonial Association For me 4 of ( onples Married ky On* Minister.
