BOLLS WERE NOT IN IT.

The Early Cables Came in Weak and Lower. Heavy Selling Orders Demoralized Prices. A Slight Rally Noted in the Afiernoon. Wheat Closed Easy Near the Bottom Figures. Oata and Corn Fairly Active, Bat Very Weak. I.NDTAXAP0I.I3, I MOKDAY EVEXI5G. May 4. f J. E. Berry & Co.'s advices on the Chicago grain and provision market comment a follows: ' The cold weather in the Northwest and the enthusiastic crop killers caused a slight Amines on the opening, but lower cable.--, the poor demand for cash wheat and the discovery by the Berlin and Paris speculators that the market for iuture deliveries can go down as welt aa up, found the market full of stop lo.-s orders nearly all day, causing a decline of 4c per bushel from Saturday's close. We think the eharp decline and low freight oujht to bring good orders from abroad for export and check the receipts in the Northwest, causing a reaction in favor of holders. Keciipts of t orn continue large, but the demand is falling otT. Should receipts continue anything like tho present we will likely have much lower prices ia the near future. The demand tor oats was good, but not as good as last week even at ljc per bushel lower prices. Trading in provisions was somewhat laiger than usual and holders are beginning to realize that the stocks of n ess pork are too lare for the present prices." Everything on the local grain market today was very wean and hard to place at any reaaonib-e figures. Loral dealers were, or at least seemed to be, very well supplied, and sellers found it hard to draw a bid. Receipts for the past twenty-four hours, 27 cars, against a total of 16 cars for Saturday.

That wa in highest figure of the day; the bears at once began a most vigorous and determined raid on prices, and thereafter, eirsjt for one or two brief periods, the bulls were not in it Tbe early eablee came in weak and lower, tbe receipla were heavy, the bears were exiling right and leather aaa a flood of leUiag ordsri, Loth

for foreign and dc mettle account, and the lone, becoming detnorahzd, threw their hoMini; over. The reu t was inevitable. Prices went o:t rapiilty. Titer no check to tbe downward morement tid tin "put" price jl.03 was reached. Baying ugaui&i these options caused a slight rally, but the downward moTeruent was quickly resumed attain. Many nop Ion orders were reached when the price had declined to about f 1.03, and th-t, with the continued hammering wh ch was till administered by the henry ahort filers, pr- Tented any but the very slightest of reactions notil the price had gotten down to $U2. There was a recovery from the Inst named figures to fl.O-'J a the result of the posting of the ybL ble aupply statement, showing a heary decrease iu the annum of wheat in aicbt, but this waa followed by renewed selling and a steady re?esiou in price till t."', waa reached and the clone was easy antou'y.'f'o better than tbe lowest, showing a loss of 4l sc from the top price of the diy, and 3"a.c a compared with Saturday's c'ose. Lion. S. V. Vhiteaud Haldwin and Faruum started the telling and Cudahy, Ueam and I'arJridga helping it alone. These three bie operators are sad to be short many million of bushe s and they were therefore strongly interested in hammering the market. Minneapolis was reported to hare, aold considerable wheat here and there was much selling, both hi and at New York, on o b e orders. John Jiryant ao.d a very larze iiue and Kennettllopkins, Boyden, Milinmediodruan and Kgglet-ton were large buyer. An errcr in addmon carnted the poMtii.g of tin r-ceij ti of corn aa -174 car, a aubsequtnl corr. e ion uiikin? the number 674. This error, together with the cold weather in the northwest, made the opening price of July corn 62i' 62 'c, against t'o at the close on taiurday, but the weakness in wheat quickly made itself felt in the corn pit and the bear traders Letrnn the execution of similar tactics. They were helped by the correction in th receipt figures. Ttie July option touched C2!(5.G3c and then besrao to decline undrr tbe pouiKlinfr of Cudnhy and other heavy bears. The downward movement was continu-d with iinniHterial reactions throughout the sejision, closing at CO'lolc. the inside figure beins the lowest of the ddy and Jo below the hitieU Oats were fairly active and weak, f blowing wheat and Tcorn closely. Tim increase in the visible ntply aiited the decline. Tlie provision maiket was rather heavy at the opening and positively weak later. N. B. lie am was a couspicuous a.-id heavy seller, lie is auppooed to have put out about I'l.OOJ barrels of pork. Armour was credited with buyir.z some, btit as a rul the p -.ckers were on the bear side. A jrood deal of buying was done by commission houses. 'lhe cioiiisr pric-s were near the lowest of the day, and at a recession of 27,,i'c on July pork, and 10) ou Ju y lard and ribe. Tbe leading lutures ratigea as follows:

Thus hath the Lord God showed unto toe: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 2. And he paid: Amos, what eeeet thou? And I said, a basket of cummer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me. The end is come upon my peoDie of Israel; I will not again pa by them any more. 8. And tha Eongs of the temple shall be bowlings in that day, saith the Lord God; there (a) shall be many dead bodies in every place ; they shall cast them forth with silence. 4. Hear this, Q ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to tail, 5. laying, When will the new noon be gone, that we may sell corn? and tho .Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, makine the ephah email and the Ehekel great, and (M falsifying the balances by deceit ? ( That we may buy the poor tor silver and the nt-edy for a'pnirof shoes; yea, and 6el) the refuse of tho wheat? 7. lh Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob. Curt ly 1 w iil never forget any of their works. . Shall not the land tremb'e for thi-, and everyone mourn that dwelieth therein? and it shall riso up wholly as a flood ; and it shall be cast out und drowned, as by the Hood of Kgypt. !. And it shall ro.ne to paes in that day, eaitii the L-ird God. that 1 wih cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the e-irth in the clear day. 10. And I will turn your feasts intomoumimr, and all your eonj:s into lamentation; and I will bring up tnckcloth upon all loins, and baldne.-rf upon every head ; and I will make it as the inourniugot an only son, and tho end thereof ae a bitter dav. 11. Behold, tho days come, saith the Lord God, that 1 will send a famine in the land ; not a taininu of bread, no? a lhir?t for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. 12. And they sha'l wander from sea to soa and from the north even to tlie cast, they eh.-tli run to and fro to k tho word ol the Lord and shall not find it. 13. In that d iy siiall tlit? fair virgins and young men iaint fur thirst. 14. They that swear by the sin of Samaria and say. (t) "Thy god.

Circumstances A mo., denouncinj woe egaiust Israel for their am,' aronst-d tho anger of the leaders. Aionziah, tlie chief priest of the golden-calf wor-iiipat Itethel, denounced Amos as a traitor and conspirator, because ol his threatening.; and he bade the prophet go home toJudah. Amos replied by still moie earnest waru-ing--, and a clearer vis-on of Israel's doom. Today's lefson is a portion of thi i ad-drei-s. Helps over Hard Pbces. (1.) A basket of summer fruit: an ohj ct h e?on. Israel was like this summer fruit: (1) It was ripe for destruction. (2) It was too late to grow any more. (3l It would soon decuv.

An if Mopping the utterance of tho prophet would vrd Ofl" lhe doom.

Auioa warn, the people, because their danger is real and very near. Nolo in how mnny ways he appeals to them. Ilia very earnestness snows that Iho dnugT was great. Peoplo do imt s ail out till tho engines for a very small lire, ihey do no l make great exertions to save a boy from wettiotf his feet, or from making iooti.nnts in tho sand.

a large mirror near the prisoner's dock, so that each arrai g .-d culprit might look upon his own image as he sat there on trial as a felon. Soma of you who are now procrastinating your repentance, have seen that picture for year?, arxl it has no alarm to you. A Limit Men can ill-treat their bodies and disregard the laws of health up to a certain point, and yet recovery be possible. But there H a point, to go beyond w hich is incurab e a sease to death. No medicine, no nursing, can then e ive. So with strong driuk; there is a time while the habit is forming, when it is possible, however, ditlicult, to leave oif. P.ut if the drinking goes on, the habit is so confirmed, the disease of the body is so inwrought, the will so weak, that the drunkard may pray nnd strive with bitter tears for release, and yet go straight to his cups again. The world is not hope'ess. After all these terrible denunciations, Amos ends his prophecy with rays of hope. A now kingdom sha'l rise from the remnants of the old. Thy eun fhall rise once more and never set. Glories and blessings beyond the huhest dri-am of the ancients shall come to the house of David. Iterlew Exercise. Tor the Who e .chuol in Coneert.J .

A Fatal Battle Willi Some Deputy Sheriff in Psnnyivnls. ScoTTDAi.E, Fa., May 4. The coke region today was shaken from center to circumference by juot such another scene aa has been feared for weeks eince the dreaded Morewood killing. At Leisviiring No. 3 lat night a man named Mahun was fhot dead and another eericusly injureih Kven at this hour it ia ditlicult to secure positive information, owing to the excitement cansed by the affair. The most reliable accounts, however, agree that two Hun., who had left the works, delayed their visit and Superintendent (iray became suspicious. He.in com piny with his assistants and four deputy therilTa, visited houne No. 17, where their workmen were enjoying themselves immensely. Their entrance caused a stampede ar;ong the strikers and one of them, a Hungarian, rushed out and aroused the other strikers and soon 200 persons were on the scene. Mr. Gray and the deputies were followed down the hid by the anry crowd, who came so close they were compelled to back down with rifles presented. They stood off the mob as Ion.' as po-fible but Mahan rushed up to one oi the deputies and seizin-jhis rUb grappled with him. Tlii deputy fired and the balance followed suit. In the fusi.lade Mahan it.il dead while another w.n injured. The remains of Mahan, shrouded in a rob.1, aro lying on a cot in house No. 12 tliM cveuinff. He was evicted from this hoe about a week ago and the strikers to lay rez.iine 1 possesion of the place in time to fheiter his body. There are grave apprchen-i-uis of further trouble at Lei-cnring nnd the force of deputies i largely increased. Deputy Coron-r Stone arrive 1 at Leisenring. 'impaneled a jurv and conducted the examination. After tho hearing, a verdict was rendered that Mahaa enmo to hi.s death by gunshot wounds fired by an unknown person. m information of Worthy 1 ore tr.au McCoy of the mine workers, Superintendent Cr;y, Mine lioss Callahan and Yard liosa Agnew were arrested for murder and given a preliminary examination Udore Squire Cotton of lunbar, who held tho tlefemtanth for trial commitlmciits were issued and th y were taken to j.tii. The testimony adduced placed the b'aroo of the f ho iing un i raj-. iSome thirty famine were evicted to.lay at Droadtord, and more wotild have be n thrown out had not the deputies objected to being stom-d nnd struck because they were not allowed to use their revolvers on the strikers. Tonight there are 3,500 men at work, including the men at tbe Independent works and T. W. Harney's. There is no doubt a alow but steady gain is being made on the men, owing to heavy imports of laoor. Five carloads of Italians arrived in the region tiday. Thir'.y-seven Hungarians from I'raddock were landed in at Trick's Kedstono works this afternoon. They were met by the local strikers, some of whom waved knives or other weapons until tho str-ngers lied from the ground. They walked back to Cnintown, where some of them took the firvt train north and ofhers remained in town, and are tonight tak.-n in tow by the strikers at lx?ith. Tho work of evictions will now go on vigorously at Ked-totie and the company will place guards at the plant and attempt to operate it. CRISIS AT FOURM1ES.
