RAIN BREAKS WHEAT.

BEARS HAVE A DAY LIKE OLD TIMES AT CHICAGO. Wheat Closes 2 Cents Off—Corn and Provisions Both Sell Lower —Live Stock at Chicago—The General Market Report. Chicago, June 12. —Wheat broke about 1-1/2c during the morning from the closing figure yesterday. The close yesterday was nearly 1-1/2c off from the best point of the day. With this reaction of nearly 3c from the top on the bull market which followed the Washington crop figures, the selling forces appeared to be exhausted and there were signs of a rally. July wheat opened 79%c to 79%c, sold 79%c and up, with good support to 80%c and then off to 79c, with rally before midday to 79%@79%c. Of course the rains in Illinois and portions of Indiana were the chief bear influence. Bearish feeling was helped for the time by the very light export clearances, the lightest of the year; the primary receipts of 278,000 far in excess of shipments; the easier Liverpool market. On the other hand northwest cars were light at 161, compared with 226 last year. Late private and public cables gave Paris flour advanced, Berlin wheat 1% to 2% marks up. The damage to California wheat from rust was repeated. Buffalo reported 110,000 bu wheat sold to be shipped back to Cleveland. The Ohio town quoted 87c bid for cash wheat. Cincinnati a little later sent messages reporting 90c bid there for cash wheat. Duluth wired sales of 65,000 bu wheat for export and 60,000 to winter wheat millers. After midday the selling pressure returned, and %c additional break followed. July sold off to 78%c and September to 79 %c, 2c under last night. There was raiding and selling of wheat the last half hour, and prices broke easily. July sold off to 78%c and closed 78%@78%c, exactly 2c lower. September sold at 79c and closed 79%@79%c. Sales were reported of 55,000 cash wheat mostly at July price. New York reported no export sales. It was conceded by all that the rains have done and will do corn more good than anything else. Yet while wheat broke 2c or more the July corn showed less than 1c decline and acted quite Stubborn on the break. July corn sold %c lower at the opening at 50%c, touched 50%c, got quick rally to 51%c and later sold off to 50%c with ten buyers for every seller at the low point. September sold 52c to 51%c to 52%@52%c and off to 51 %c. Local receipts were light at 134 cars. Estimated receipts for to-morrow 170. Liverpool was lower. Corn touched 50%@50%c and closed at 50%c, only %c lower. September closed at 51Zc. Corn charters were reported at 150,000 bu. The run of hogs continues to surprise the trade. There appears to be no end of hogs. Pork sold nearly 20c lower at 312.65 and closed 12%c off tember. Lard and ribs lost but 5c at close. Quotations were: Articles— High. Low. Close. i Wheat—No. 2.

THE PEOPLE S PILOT, RENSSELAER. IND., THURSDAY, JUNE 18. 1895.

TO BE INVESTIGATED.

BRITISH CONSUL WILL TAKE ACTION IN A STRANGE CASE. Th* B*mo> for th* Ab**d<m aH tt th* Burning Ve**el, Why Not, toy It* Crow, Not Yet Known—Yeatordny** New* from Aero** the Water. St. Malo, June 12. — Particulars have been received here of the desertion of the passengers by the crew of the British vessel Why Not after fire broke out on board the ship while on her way to the island of Jersey. It appears that fire was discovered in the Why Not’s hold Saturday and while the sailors were attempting to quench the flames a bucket was dropped overboard. A boat was lowered to recover it and the captain jumped into this boat and was followed by the crew. One passenger sprang overboard and swam after the boat, into which he was reluctantly taken. The deserted passengers were greatly alarmed and the excitement among them increased when a small boat was seen to be pulling for Erquay,where the crew eventually land ed. Taking advantage of a breeze the passengers handled the Why Not as best they could and succeeded In beaching her near Erquay. The incident has caused intense excitement at St. Brieux, the nearest town to Erquay, and the matter is being thoroughly investigated by the local authorities. The captain of the Why Not, although not under arrest, is closely watched by the police. It is understood that the British consul here will take the matter up and upon his report will depend further action.

CHINESE INDEMNITY LOAN.

Likely the Amount Will Be Advanced bv French and Russian Bankers. London, June 12.—A Berlin dispatch to the Standard says the Chinese loan which Russia has guaranteed forms a part of the war indemnity and was raised in accordance with the terms of a recently concluded secret Russo-Chi-nese treaty. Japan has agreed that if £15,000,000 is paid forthwith the remainder may be paid within six years. It is therefore likely that the whole of the indemnity will be advanced by French and Russian bankers, only China hopes to Induce Russia to be satisfied with 4 per cent interest. More Rioting Expected. London, June 12.—A dispatch from Shanghai to the Times says the English, French, Canadian and American missions were wrecked at Ching-Too-Foo, Kia-Ting, Yachou, Ping-Shan and Sinking. Some of the mlsisonaries are missing, but no lives are known to have been lost. Suifu and Luchou are threatened. A riot is considered Inevitable at Chang-Tang. All the whites left Ching-Too-Foo yesterday. A firm policy is-now more than ever necessary. Say She I* to Be Wedded. London, May 12.—The Mascot, a weekly newspaper, repeats the report which has been denied by the friends of the lady concerned that Miss Frances Willard, president of the W. C. T. U„ is to be married in the autumn to an Englishman of wealth and position who has obtained prominence in the work of reform. I’mra Khan in Prison. London, June 12.—A dispatch from Simla, India, says news has been received here from Cabul that the Ameer of Afghanistan has imprisoned Umra Khan, therefore removing the reproach that the ameer was receiving England’s enemy as a guest.

Collins’ friends among hi* own race will see that he has able counsel to defend him. They believe his statement that he shot the students in self-defense. . It Is admitted even by the Princeton college people that the shooting would not have occurred had not Ohl and Cochrane foolishly followed Collins and Downes to Anderson’s saloon, the scene of the shooting.

Discontent Permeates Japan.

Victoria, B. C„ June 12.—Advices from the Orient by the steamer Empress of Japan, Indicate that popular discontent at the submission to Russian intimidation has far from subsided and that further political complications may yet result from it. Rumor has it that Russia Is preparing to take possession of Port Lazarlff, in Corea, and great Indignation is expressed that the Japanese' government has taken no active steps to prevent this fresh indignity. In the meantime Russia Is pushing forward fortifications at Vladivostock with all possible vigor. The government of Corea seems to be utterly demoralized and Russian gold is reported to be exercising a powerful Influence there.

Denver, June 12.—Rev. E. E. Passmore has been cited for ■ trial before W. C.

SILVER MEN AT MEMPHIS.

Monster Mass Meeting of Free-Coinage People Begins. Memphis, Tenn., June 12.—The largest meeting ever held in this country for the discussion of a single economic question convened at the Auditorium in this city this morning. While an overwhelming majority of the delegates to the convention called in the Interest of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of' 16 to 1 come from this section of the country, the representation includes almost every state south of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi. While the gathering comprises democrats, republicans and populists and is supposedly nonpartisan, there is much of interest to the political observer. There were probably over fifteen xhuhdred delegates on hand when the convention was called to order at 2 o’clock. President W. H. Brown of the Memphis Bimetallic League, called the gathering to order, and ex-Congressman Casey Young delivered the speech of welcome, saluting the delegates as the advance guards of a mighty army to overthrow a power more ruthless and rapacious and more hurtful to human happiness and prosperity than any despot that ever shackled liberty and oppressed mankind. Senator Turpie of Indiana, upon being introduced to the convention made a long speech, his principal effort being to destroy the contention of the enemies of silver, that the white metal was not “honest money.” Alexander Delmar of California, the next speaker, said the only monetary principles upon which all parties unite was stability, and that, he believed,’ could only be brought about by a restoration of the ancient coinage laws of the republic. The fact that 95 per cent of the exchanges of the world were transacted with checks and bills or exchange proved that metallic coin, both gold and silver, was inadequate to measure the parity of exchange.

WAR MAY BE ENDED.

Royal Commission to Investigate the Manitoba School System. Winnipeg, Man., June 12.—The belief prevails here that when the provincial legislature meets Thursday the government will announce that a royal commission is to be appointed to inquire into the entire workings of the school system, bosh before and since the abolition of the separate scools. This will render unnecessary for the present the sending of any reply to the remedial order and the question will likely be shelved till after the general elections. This is a victory for the province as against the crown. If this announcement is acceptable to the house the school question will, for the present, be speedily disposed of.
