Chicago. August SO.The demand
for wheat was ef a less consequence to
day than yesterday.! and the stimulus
which Drices received at the close of
that day's trading, from the reported
o-nld imoortations. and which was car
ried into to-day's market, gradually lost
force, and before the session was over
had entirely disaDDeared. September
wheat ooened from 56 W to 56c. declined
to 55 Jrfc closing at 55c & Xc un
der yesterday.
Corn The tendency of prices to-day
was to follow those of wheat. May corn
onened at 27i,a27c. sold between
27Kcand 26c, closing at 26 87c-
Xi&yic under yesterday. Cash corn
was higher, closing easy.
Oats The weakness ot wheat influ
enced the tone of oats later in the ses
sion, causing some depreciation. May
oats closed Jc under yesterday. Cash
oats were steady, the feeling in new oats
beine a little firmer than recently,
Provisions The growing belief that
the reported deal in September pork is
a myth tends to impart courage to the
' bear contingent and renders the tasK oi
the bulls more difficult. Prices rallied
late in the session on the inevitable
short covering. January oork closed Sc
under yesterday; January lard and nos

teen electors for Vice President. At
midnight the convention declined the
Populist request for division of Presi

Sew York Sao' He view of the Cotton
Market.
Bv Telegraph to the Horning Star.
New York, August 20 -The Sun says
Cotton declined four to seven ppints but
rallied and closed barely steady, at a net
advance of thirteen to seventeen points,
with sales of 208,100 bales.
To-day's features: The lower Liver
pool cabies had a depressing effect on
prices lor a time to-day but shortly
alter the opening the selling pressure
aoatea ana prices rose quite sharply.
The official Weather Bureau report
showed that very little rain had fallen
daring the past twenty-four hours.
Tbere was a fair precipitation at Little
kock, but elsewhere in the Soutbwest
there was no moisture worth speaking
of. Texas was as dry as ever and there
was no rain in Louisiana. Gloomy crop
advices continue to be received. Shorts
covered, the South bought and the spot
markets in this country were higher and
more active and Liverpool rallied before
the close. So prices advanced and the
last figures were about the best of the
day. ' ;

Carollton, Ohio. August 20. An
eogine on the Cincinnati, Columbus &
Springfield Railroad, hauling four cars
of coal and a caboose, jumped the track
one mile south of here last evening. It
rolled down the embankment, striking
two mammoth oak trees. This. pre
vented the caboose, with twenty-six sec
tion men aboard, Irom following. Jos.
Kirk,-engineer, and John Hardesty, fire
man, both of Canton, were " instantly

veloped the fact that the wreck was
caused by three railroad spikes which
some small boys had placed on the out

SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE

J. PURSUITS-
Hew Orleans Leading In Grain Exports

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Baltimore, August 20. The Manu
facturers' Record, in its weekly teview of
Southern industrial interests, points ont
the rapid increase of the exportation of
grain lrom Southern ports, showing that
for the seven months ended July 81st
New Orleans exported more corn than
any other port in the United States,
having led with 13.568.000 bushels,
against 12,565 000 bushels at Baltimore,
the next port is New York, dropping to
9,700,000 bushels and Philadelphia to
4,000.000 bushels. For the correspond
ing seven months of 1895 New Orleans
exported 2.800,000 bushels and New
York 6,600.000 bushels the increase
this season being 11,100,000 bushels at
New Orleans and 8.000.000 bushels at
New York. For the seven months un
der review New Orleans exported more
corn than New York and Philadelphia
combined. Galveston, Newport News
and other Southern ports are also shar
ing in this heavy corn shipnlent busi
ness. In railroad matters arrangements are
being completed for the early construc
tion of the Kansas City & Northern,
which will be the northern connection
of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf,
thus giving the latter a port. A large
water frontage has been purchased at
the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk
branch of the Pennsylvania system for
extensive terminal facilities. The ar
rangements that have been made for
steamship lines to Galveston by the
North German Lloyd and the Hamburg
American companies, in connection
with railroad systems, indicate a heavy
movement of immigration business
through Galveston these lines expect
ing to turn to that port a considerable
amount ot the immigration business
that has. heretofore gone -to Northern
ports. ' "
Among industrial news reported for
the week is the closing of a contract by
a Texas lumber company for 16,000.000
feet of lumber, including 880,000 ties,
and a $10,000 knitting mill at Barnes
ville, Ga. Natchitoches, La., will spend
about $15,000 on waterworks; the
Shreveport Cotton Oil Company, $180,
000 capital stock, is now building an oil
mill; the McColgan Machine Shop Com
pany, $25,000 capital stock, has been or
ganized to build machine works at
McComb City, Miss.; a $75,000 woollen
mill is to be established at Laredo,
Texas; Palestine, Texas, will issue $100,
000 of bonds for waterworks;
the Carolina Fire Insurance Company
will build a $30,000 office building at
Charlotte, N. L.; the county commission
ers will build a $50 000 jail annex at
G lives ton. A $30,000 jail will be built
at Crnffin, Gi.; a $14,000 court house at
Lexington, Ky.; an $18,000 court house
at Madison ville, Tenn.; the Board of
Trade will erect a $75,000 building at
lampa, fia.
These reports show that notwith
standing the political activity, the South
continues to do a fair amount of busi
ness, and that arrangements are being
pushed for general railroad and indus
trial improvements throughout that
section.

Chairman Jcnee . Begins Work for Bryan

In the BaiU
By Telegraph to the Morning Star. -
CHiCAGO,August 20.-Cfaairman Jones,
j. G Johnson, ot Kansas, and ' Daniel I
Campau, of Michigan," members of the
Democratic National Campaign ' Com
mittee, arrived this morning at the Audi
torium annex, to begin the campaign
work for Bryan and Sewall from the
headquarters which will be established
in the anerman Mouse, wnen inter
viewed, Senator Jones quickly and vig
orously disposed of several newspaper
stories, classing tbem all as falsehoods.
He said. , -.. :
"I made the dUcovory thst the Chi
cago newspapers under favorable cir
cumstances can print falsehoods. They
have developed a row between Gov.
Altgeld and myself which never bad
any foundation in truth. The relations
between the Governor and myself have
been pleasant all along and are now.
Gov. atone will not run the campaign
from thete headquarters. He will
doubtless be here frequently between
now and election day. as he is a mem
ber of the committee, but I expect to
run the, campaign here and in wash
ingtoa. - : '
"We wilt begin operations at once on
a scale broad enough for the occasion
and will add to our .headquarters space
as required. A branch ol the Washing'
ton literary bureau will be established
here. Oar ticket will -be elected beyond
a doubt. Mr. Bryan's New York speech
had a most excellent enect on the bast.
It started the people thinking and
studying, and as a result we are making
great gains in ine feast. r
Washington, August 20. Secretary
Hoke Smith, who but yesterday re
turned to the city after an absence of
ten -days, called at Democratic head
quarters this afternoon, and remained in
consultation tor an nour wun tnairman
Faulkner. Although the Secretary has
declined to say for himself whether he
intends to enter into the Georgia cam
paign and put up a strong 1 fight
for the Chicago ticket, such is
the only inference to be drawn
from the remarks of leading Democrats
about headquarters after the conference
was over. The statement was made, by
a'gentleman in a position to know, that
the attitude of Secretary Smith would
be such as to admit of no doubt as to his
loyalty to the ticket, and it was said that
the aid he proposed to give would be of
the most positive character. It is under
stood that at the proper time Mr. Smith
will come out in unequivocal terms and
will work actively ana earnestly in sun
port of the success of the ticket and all
that it represents.
The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee has decided to make extracts
from Mr. B inrke Cochran's speech and
circulate them among the fanners, be
lieving that bis references to professional
farmers and desire to reduce the price
of farm products will do much towards
turning the agriculturists against the
doctrines advocated by the New York
orator..-. .

gramme of his movements from Erie t
Lincoln and was dictated in this way by
the candidate: : . .
Leave Erie for Buffalo on Augnst 27,
wnere i win speak in tne evening. From
Buffalo go to Medina, where I ; will
speak Friday afternoon; thence to Ni
agara Falls, where I will spend the
night. . Leave Niagara Falla on Satur

nellsville, where I will speak in the after
noon; thence to Jamestown in the even-
log and going to Chautauqua for Sunday.

arriving at Lincoln on the 5th. I will
not stop at any point between Chicago
ana uncoin. .;
- Hon. Elliott Danforth, who oresided
at the Madison Squate Garden meeting,
came over to Upper Red Hook last night
on nis way to Albany and had a talk
with the nominee. Mr. Bryan says the
visit had no political significance. This
morning a son of James W. Hinckley,
cnatrman ot tne Democratic State Com
mittee, who was one of the gold leaders
at Chicago, called on Mr. Bryan and ex
tended an invitation on behalf of hit
lather to visit . Winnisook Lodge, on
Slede Mountain, in the Catsktlls. Win
nisook Lodge is the Summer home of
a number of Democratic State Doliti-
cians, and Mr. Bryan promised to spend
a nignt mere tnis week. Another invi
tation came from C. L. Rickerson. He
wanted Mr. Bryan to visit Santa Cruz
Lodge in the Catskills. but the nominee
was obliged to decline.
Mr. Bryan will speak at Tivoh, in this
county, Saturday night.
. William J. Bryan threw down the
gauntlet to-day to Mai. McKinley. It
was a dignified challenge, for in it he re-
iusea to discuss tne issues of the cam
paign with any person except the one
tnat stands his equal in office-seeking
ambition. He was asked if he intended
to answer Mr. Cochran and said in an
swer that he was receiving many invi
tations from prominent men to debate
the silver question. In order to avoid
further invitation of this nature, he said
be would not consider any proposition
to debate any question with anybody
during the campaign unless a debate
should be arranged between Mr. Mc
Kinley and himself and he added that
so far as he knew no plan for such a de-
Date was under consideration by either
national committee.
