Br Telegraph to the LMorning Stat. I Chicago, August 7. A panick?con dition of the New York stock market found reflection in tbe Board of Trade 1 business this moraine;- Wheat softened , and declined, a general feeling of dis couragement and uneasiness taking pos ; session of tbe market and exhibiting it ,self in a loss at one time of almost a cent, but on tbe report that a consider ! able amount of cash wheat variously es - timated from 20.000 to 40,000 bushels had been worked for Eastern shipment, a buying movement of some importance developed and a full recovery was tbe i result. September wheat opened at 56 to 66c. sold between 55 & and 663c, i closed at 56c unchanged from yester- dav. Cash wheat sold at lc decline, but rallied, and closed nominally unchanged from vesterdav. i Corn Opening prices were weak and i lower earlv. but recovered when the leading cereal altered its course. Sep tember corn opened at 24 Wc; sold be tween U&iic, closing at 4Jc He ! under yesterday. Cash corn was lairiy steadv and aulet i Oats About the same conditions i were present in the oat market as in i wheat and corn. September oats closed a shade under yesterday. Cash oats l were ic lower for old and K&c i lower lor new. Provisions The general feeling of in security surrounding the grain ana stock markets was at work in provisions. Holders were uneasy and unwilling to sell, whilst even shorts displayed little disposition to buy. The bog market was 100115c lower, which was another argument for depreciation. The later recoverv in wheat brought about a like action in product, pork recovering fully, buf lard and ribs only slightly. A CRANK SHOT.

Chamberlain, a crank, came into the bank of the Southern Savings and Trust Company at noon to day and pre sented a paper to the teller, who was alone in the bank. The paper was a de mand for silence and immediate deliv ery of five thousand dollars, witb a threat to throw acid in the teller's face if he did not comply, having the acid in a glass. The teller, Mr. Archie Hub bard, covered the crank with a revolver, and the two men ' grappled. Securing the opportunity Hubbard fired, hitting his opponent in the abdomen.

I A LONESOME ArrAlK IO auwit OF THE DELEGATES. Nene of the Leaders of the Democratic Odd Win Present-Call Tor a Con- ention Issued to Meet at Icdianap- . olla September Second. Bv TelezraDh to the Morning Star. Indianapolis. August 7. Two lively t -M thunder storms daring tne nigni naa the effect of cooling off the sweltering atmosphere and the delegates to the gold conference were aoie ro mane lucm selves comfortably cool this morning. But sudden change of the weather was not the chief topic of conversation about the Bates and Denison rloteis, wnere the delegates are stopping. As one of them expressed it, "this is a sort of lonesome affair,- but ex-Congressman Bynum. the leading spirit in tne move ment, still, assure an inquisitors mat, i least thirty States will oe repre sented. It is also noticeable ana mucn commented upon that not one oi me big leaders of the Democratic gold wing is present, and to be irans, mere is strong under-current of disappointment as a result. The Indiana silver leaders are poking fun at tbe gold delegates Be cause of the refusal, inability or what ever it may be, of Louis Enrich, the prominent sound money leader, 10 do nrML The silverites claim to have nm t v information to mc cucu u 7 .

Mr. Rgnnm has do other information than that criven in the dispatches from Colo rado SDrines. Mr. Ehricb's failure to attend has spoiled much of the proposed Drotrramme. As the time lor tne conierence, " . . . ... r - a o'clock this afternoon, approached, it seemed more and more certain that the delegates would uree aeainst tbe calling of a convention ana tne nomination oi a gold ticket, and that they would press their .arguments upon tne conierees. a lack of time and the appirent indiffer ence of the Eastern gold leaders will be seized upon to that end, and while it is reasonably certain 'that a convention will be decided upon, the programme will not ea throueh without opposition The report sent out mat senator niii has made up bis mind to support tbe Chicaeo ticket, whether true or not. was generally discussed oy tne delegates to-day. As to the truth of the report, there were varying opinions. Mr. McCormick, of WiUtamsport, a member of the Pennsylvan.a delegation, gave it as his opinion, that the report is true. Further, he said, "My delegation and those from Massachusetts and Maryland held a sort of information conference on the train on the way to vour city. While there seems to be an impression that tbe matter of nominat ing a third ticket will be hurtful to the doubtful States, as Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, yet I think it can be truly said that such a ticket will Denominated. We, of Pennsylvania, a State which is sure to be carried for McKinley, do not feel that we should demand a third ticket. From tbe con venation which I have heard from dele gates from doubtful States, there seems to be no question but that a .National Convention will be called and a plat form adopted and a ticket nominated Are the Democrats of your State in favor of a third ticket?" "I cannot say that they are. No, I could not even guess at the strength in Pennsylvania.. , The strength of tbe movement all over the country is purely conjecture; bnt I am of the notion that the vote that can be polled lor a sound money ticket will surprise some people. The delegate from Maryland, I. L. Semms, also says that the sound money Democrats of his State are not in favor of a third ticket. They will, howevc, endorse the action of the: sound money convention, and most of .them will vote for a sound money ticket. The ten dency of the sound money Democrats from Maryland, he says, is to stand solidly by tbe Republican-ticket. Massachusetts favors a tbird ticket. . ANOTHER account. Indianapolis, August 7. Tne con ference of tbe sound money Democrats fully met the expectations of its pro maters. There were thirty-three States represented, and about two hundred Democrats from all over tbe country were in attendance. Though the most famous politicians of tbe party were absent, tbis fact did not dampen tbe order or determination of those present to go ahead and put in the field a ticket and platform that would represent what they believed to be the real tenents cf tbe Democratic party. Before the conference at noon ended, all opposition to the calling of another convention was withdrawn, and it was agreed that General John M. Palmer, of Illinois, should be made permanet chair man of the Provisional Committee. Talks among the delegates exhibited much confidence in tbe success of the sou ad money movement. . Tbe action of the committee was bar monious and was quickly taken. The afternoon session lasted but an hour, but it was determined to call a conven tion and chose Indianapolis as the place. At the eveninc session the formal call for tbe convention was adopted and the da te nxed at September tbe second. AFFAIRS IN CUBA.

The cirgar man ufacturers here continue to oppose the exportation of tbe Remedios leaf tobacco, which was not included in Captain General Weyler's re- cert decrees against the exporta tion of tobacco. General Fitzhugb Lee, tbe American Consul General, has en tered an energetic -protest against tbe delay occasioned by the authorities in the despatching of one thousand bales of tobacco belonging to an American firm. This tobacco has been awaiting snipment since April. capt.

Tbev were finally dislodged and compelled to re treat. They left nineteen dead on the field and carried away many wounded. Tbe Spanish loss was one lieutenant killed and six privates wounded. It is officially reported that the rebel leader Cbango Ktvero and thirteen of his followers were killed in a recent en gagement near Melones, in the Manza- nillo district The Havana police have captured two men whom they claim were the authors of the recent dynamite explosion at the captain uenerai s palace. bENATOrt HLL Will Not Preside at the Bryan-Sewtll Notifi cation Meettng fnNewTork.

THE CHICAGO 'COLLAPSE AFFECTS MONETARY CONDITIONS. . A Favorable Feature in me xoeiesao oi Exports and Decrease of Imparts La bor More Distributed ?han TXsusl Volume of . Domestto Trade Smaller Than List Tear. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Nkw York, August 7. R. G. Dun & Co.. In their weekly review of trade, say: Tbe sensational collapse of speculators at Chicago who controlled Diamond Match and New York Biscuit stocks and had hoisted them to fancy figures, with the consequent closing of tbe Chi cago Stock Exchange for a period yet indefinite, though iollowed by remark ably lew failures, brings a sudden change in monetary conditions tnrougnout tne country. At least a month earner tnan had been expected Lbicago nas drawn heavily upon its bank balances here and withdrawals of all other Western funds may naturally result. Europe was also moved to sell American stocks rather freely, so that the average of most active railroad stocks fell about $1,88. It is important that the increase of merchandise exports, $800,000, or 12 per cent, over last year for tbe week and tbe decrease of imports. $700,000, or 7.7 per cent, still continues to limit tbe sum payable abroad. . '.' ' Tbe situation as to cotton is aouotiess critical for many producers. E ttremely hot and dry weather has done serious barm, bnt it must, indeed, be an extra ordinary condition that reduces the yield 20 per cent, in August. Men of much Knowledge and experience put a few days ago judged a yield of 10,000, 000 bales probable, and if they were 1.000.000 bates too high, still those who now predict only 7,000.000 bales are likely to err in the opposite direction. With large acreage it is always sate to remember that only a part of the crop is ever affected by misfortunes between August 1st i and frost. The price rose almost beyond : precedent . Mc on Wednesday alone, and tbe alarm will at least be of service to planters in giving them better prices whether buyers real ize crofits or not. Labor is more oisturDca tnan usual. . . .. . ... , The great strike of garment workers here has much extended; the strike at Cleveland has broken out again, and in volves several other branches , of labor tbe iron furnace men of tbe Shenango valley resist a reduction to the wages of May. 1895, though Mahoning vauey workers do not: the iron works through out the country are striving to cut down cost in order to keep in operation. The iron mines . of the Gogebic range are stopping, tbe suspension of cotton mills bas become more general, ana over iour million toindles are said to be idle at Fall River alone, and probably three- eighths or more of the entire producing capacity in the country; tbe rubber works have: mostly stopped, ana not withstanding the lightweight opening in a number of woollen mills, evidently the working force and also wages have been reduced. Tbe iron markets grow less demoral izd in tone; because all tbe associations decided to : maintain prices for this month, but tbe markets are not stronger in volume of orders or purchases. The volume of domestic business re flected by exchanges was 7.7 per cent. smaller than! last year for the first week of August, and 9.3 per cent, smaller than in 1892. The early crop movement and the speculative collapse at Chicago caused both commercial and speculative loans here to be much restricted. Failures in July, classified by bratc'ies of cujiness,sbow larger liabilities in the lumber than in any of tbe other manu facturing class, while in trading the dry goods liabilities lead. Failures for the week have been 240 in the United States against 225 last year, and 32 in Canada against 43 last year. Bradstreet says : Comparatively favor able reports concerning tho general trade ara more numerous than in pre ceding weeks. Pittburg jobbers report a slight increase in the volume of trade, but at Baltimore there is a marked im prcvimtnt, with jobbers receiving or ders freely. I The fovjrable condition of the Ttxis cotton crop continues to help jobbers at Galveston. Notwithstanding unfavorable repirts as to the cotton in Louisiana, expected payments of sugar bounties next week, and favorable reports, as to the Louisiana sugar crop tend to stimu late trade at New Orleans. Both sav annah and Augusta report a fair volume of business, with improvement in some lines, although collections are slow. STEAMER LAURADA Bailed Again!

FopoJittio Oatbertngs la ' Other Bute. " By Telegraph to the Morning Star. . 1 - Galveston, Tex.,. Aug. 7. The sensation of the Populist State Conven tion was sprung this morning when the committee appointed to formulate tele grams in answer to messages of greeting from other Populist Conventions: re ported. The committee was composed of Barnett Gibbs, who made the speech nominating - Kearby; "Stump" Ashby, nominee for Lieutenant Governor, and Harry Tracy, editor of the Southern Mercury. The telegrams they brought in' for the approval of the convention were: ' - . : Replying to the Louisiana Conven tion: "Texas provides a tun electoral ticket and declares for Watson; then Bryan." , Replying to the Kansas Convention: 'Texas returns greetings. Will put a middle-of-the-road in tbe field." i Replying to the Georgia Convention: "Texas unanimously indorses Tom Wat son and a middle-of-the-road ticket." The telegrams were received with cheers. - ! C. H. Jenkins, chairman of the plat form committee, addressed tbe conven tion, opposing sending of tbe telegrams, saying they wonld be hreorands which wouid result in tbe defeat of Populism. He said.be was a middle-of-tbe-road man at St. Louis, but bowed to the will of that convention. Bryan had not been officially notified of bis nomination, and if tbis action should be taken. Populists could truthfully be accused of insin cerity in their desire for reform." It looked as if lenklna bad tbe con vention with him. but when the point of order was made that nominations were, tbe order of business the convention refused by a big majority to suspend the rules and allow him to continue his speech. The matter will not come up again until the nominations are com pleted. . i Maior"Buck Walton, nominee tor Attorney GeneraL'states (or publication that if the telegrams are sent he cannot go before tbe people and will not accept of the nomination. Ben Terrell, another prominent leader, says if the telegrams are sent be I will not make a speech during the campaign. Sergeant-at-Arms wniams says tbe telegrams will be sent just the same. Populist success, he says, does not de pend upon any one man. Tbe morning session of tbe conven tion was taken up in trying to complete the State ticket.' As far as the ticket bas been made up. it stands : For Gov ernor, Jerome C. Kearby ; for Lieuten ant Governor, H. S. P. Asbby : for At torney General, William Walton ; for Comptroller. E. O Mitzener. SPOTS AND FUTURES. naaiaa t Net Beoeipts of Cotton at the Ports Nrw York Bon's Bsview of tbe Market. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, Aug. 7. The following are the net receipts at the port since September 1st, 1898: Galveston, 928,- 884 bales; New Orleans. 1,780.722; Mo bile, 205.951; Savannah. 754 659, Charles ton, 280,305; Wilmington, 171,123; Nor folk. 338.752; Baltimore, 44.228; New York, 98 459; Boston. 154.275; Newport News. 15.472; Philadelphia, 45.104; West Point, 143.639; Brunswick, 74 340; : Port Royal. 75.754; Pensacola, 17,603; Texas City, 54,019. Totals, 162.789 bales. The Sun says: Cotton opened eight to fifteen points bigber. but lost the im provement and declined twenty-five to thirty-two points, closing weak with sales ot 345.680 Dales. To day's features : If cotton declined to-day it was not because reports of damage to tbe crops were lacking; in fact, tbey were very much in evidence. so mucn so indeed that tbey caused a sharp rise at the opening. The reports were just as bad as ever. The official weather' report showed that the total pre cipitation m the entire cotton belt for twenty-iour hours was only .90 ot an inch. "At Little Rock the maximum temperature was 104 degrees yesterday, and at Memphis 102. But it was a day of liquidation. The early advance was soon effaced and prices broke sharply. It was only natural that operators should want to realize tbe handsome emolu ments accruing from a week's specula tion mafcet with snap upward fluctua tions. B:ars hammered and stopped or- dets were caught on the way down, ac celerating tbe decline. . New York, August 7. The cotton market to-day presented another scene of tumult, the boom of tbe past two days being ontinued. The prices at the opening showed an average of thir teen points in advance of yesterday's closing prices, which were the highest known in tbe cotton market in years. Such was the condition of affairs to-day tbat the lines of demarcation between bulls and beats were obliterated. Mohr, Hanneman & Co.. who are Invariably on the bear side, held the upward jump of prices by joining the bull contingent temporarily. Inman. Swan &Co Mc- fntyre & Ward well, Lehman Bros, and Hentz Co. and the other big operators had two or more representives on the Moor. Their operations were conducted in such a manner that the smaller dealers could not definitely determine. whether they were combining to ad vance prices generally or making pur chases individually. The selling went on right merrily from the start for half an hour after the opening of the market, and then there was a slump which sent the shorts to cover, but from which the market rallied rapidly. The tout sales up to 11 o'clock aggregated nearly 150.000 bales. BASE BALL. Besult of Qamea Played Testerdar at Various Flaoes. j Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star.

Ga., August 7 Seaborn Augustas Wright " was nominated fot Governor by the Populists this morn ing. He was ..nominated . by; acclama tion. No other name was put up. The triumph of Wright was a victory for the Populist-Prohibition fusionists, and he will make the race on the issue of pro hibition. The defeat of the middle-of-the-roaders, who ; opposed v extreme declaration' in favor of prohibition, and who were opposed to going outside of the party for a candidate, was complete. Mr. Wright has been an independent in politics. He is a successful lawyer of Rome,and is comparatively wealthy. He is 86 years of age, and is a magnetic and briiliant orator. He is an ardent Prohi- J hi t . 1 . 1 UlllUUlSL HSU Will lUd&E LUC IBU-Uill lUUlO plank the uppermost issue of tbe cam paign. The negro delegates voted solid ly lor Wright, and C. H. Waltcn, a negro leader of Augusta, pledged the support of sixty per cent, of the negroes of Geor gia to Wright. He predicted that the all-wbite electoral vote of the Republi cans would drive the negro Republicans to tbe Populist ranks. Mr. Wright was brought before the convention and made a stirring speech. Tbe State ticket was completed without contests. ' Little in terest was takeb in tbe naming of the other candidates. The Comptroller, Gen. Seaborn J. Bell, of Burke, was named; for Commissioner of Agricul ture, W. E. Smith. of Deca turr for Treasurer, W. C. Sibley, of Richmond; for Attorney General, Don ald Clarke, of Chatham.: The nomina tion of Sibley further emphasized the victory of the fusionists. He is a lead ing Prohibitionist, ' but not a Populist, and his wife is at tbe bead of the W. C. T. U. in Georgia. Tbe platform adopted by tbe convention declared for prohibi tion and endorses the action of the St. Louis Convention. Tbe nomination of Wright was pe culiarly the expression of the wishes of Thomas E. Watson. The speech of Wright stirred the con vention to greater depths than even tbe words of Watson. He stung the Dem ocrats of the State with his keen ton gue. He denounced the Democratic office-holders in the State, and urged a straight fight against them. He proved himself to be an orator of no mean ability, and he promised to stump the State during tbe campaign. w. u. sibley made bis hrst appear ance in a Populist convention. His two brothers, botb prominent Populists, were appointed a committee to intro duce bim to the convention. 'The Populist Convention then adopted resolutions authoriz hg the State Com mittee to negotiate with tbe Democrats for fusion on the electoral ticket when ever the Democrats withdraw Sewall, but not before. The platform is brief. It endorses the St. Louis platform, condemns bar rooms and declares against the sale of liquor as a beverage; demands that the.Iease sys tem be abolished and) hat the convict be employed by tbe State in some way whicb shall not compete with free labor. BRYAN CAMPAIGNING. G-rooted With Sothueiasm Ever) where A Ten Minute' Bpaeoh to a Large Audience at Dea Moines. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. Dks Moinis, Ia August 7. William Jennings Bryan ended up seven hours of campaigning through Nebraska and Iowa at Des Moines to-night. His re ception here was a fitting climax to tbe enthusiasm with whicb be had been greeted at a number of other places in this State. Tbe weather was sweltering daring allot the jjurney. The crowds at stations along toe route ot tbe 4ock Island road, however, did not seem to mind tbe heat, and gave vent to their enthusiasm without regard to the height of the temperature. It was 9.80 o'clock when tbe train on which Mr. Bryan ms a passenger, pulled into the station here. Attached to the regular number of coacher were four special cars contain ing a large contingent of free silver men from Des Moioes, Democrats, Populisms and bolting Republicans, composing tbe advance guard of free enthusiasts from this city who joined Mr. Bryan at Stu art, fiity miles west. More than a thousand people were gathered at the railway station and they sweltered and perspired without seem ing to mind it in their efforts to catch a glimpse of the nominee. Carriages were in waiting and tbese conveyed Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and tbe members ot tbe local reception committee to the taber nacle, tbe largest ball in tbe city.
