New’ York, Aug. 31.—Speculation at the
stock exchange was less active to-day and the
market lacked the strength which was such a
prominent characteristic of yesterday s ope
rations. This was mainly due to the absence
of outside buyers orders, which were so plenti
ful yesterday.* The first sensation of tlie
day was the sudden break in Distilling
and Cattle Feeding under a perfect avalanche
of stock. The price broke3' to 18V Various
theories were advanced to account for the
drop. It was reported from ('hicago that the
company was in financial ditficulties once
more and that a special meeting of the direc
tors had been called for Monday next to devise
some means to secure funds These rumors
were subsequently denied, but the break hurt
the whole market for the time The pressure
to sell was by no means heavy outside of
"Whisky. Towards 1 o’clock the active
issues were in better demand, and a reneral
recovery followed, with American Sugar in
k the lead. The market then drifted
into dullness. The last hour, however,
there was an increase in the, volume of bus-
iness. and prices dropped all along the line.
The decline ranged 4 to 4 l g- Sugar fell 34.
Western Union %. Louisville and Nashville
\i and the other leading stocks \/ t to 1 per
tent. The market was affected by reports
from Washington that the silver men had
gained a victory in the House through ttae
amondment of the rules permitting the com
mittee on coinage, weights and measures to
introduce bills at will. It was argued that as
I Hand is chairman of the committee and that
the silver men are in the majority, the strug
gle over silver will be renewed at an early
day. Louisville and Nashville was weak on
talk about the str.ke. while Union Pacilic
was strengthened by the formation of a syn
dicate to extend the company's sinking fund
banks maturing tomorrow. Near the close
there was a rally of ■* to P 4 and the market
left off steady. The sah-s of stocks were
25imNH shams. of which 72,2-JO were whisky,
and 4(1.000 unlisted.

New Yoijt. Aug. 31.—The Sun’s Cotton re
vlew says: “The drift o( prices earlj in the
day was downward owing to September no
tices and long selling, but later, on the unex
pected strength of Liverpool, fears of another
change at the south, the better financial situ
ation, and the covering of shorts, caused an
advance which loft prices at the close 1 point
higher on September ami 5 to 7 points higher
on other months, though at one time
to-day the rise on most months
reached 12 to 14 points. It
was a nervous market and very suspicious to
news of a favorable or unfavorable nature.
■Jheclo.se was barely steady, with sales of
172,200 bales. Liverpool declined l/ s to 1 point,
but recovered this and advanced 1 point, clos
ing firm, with spot sales of 8.000 bales. In
Manchester, yarnaavere dull and cloths were
in’moderate demand. Some damage is re
ported to the crop in the Atlanii" states and
ny drought in Tennessee. New Orleans was 7
points higher than yesterday. Receipts ut
the ports 4.506 bales, against 1.390 last week
and 1.593 last year.
New Orleans. Aug. 31.—Cotton futures

Chicago, Aug. 31.—Wheat bulged 2c a
bushel in August to day Ihe market closed
firm at top prices. Ordinarily on the eve of
delivery day. and 16 010 00*) bushels of wheat
in store, some belatedjlongs might he expected
to be pressing .September wheat for sale to
avoid having it delivered to them on the fol
lowing morning. The reverse has happened
to X e the caso. Elevator men had over stayed
their chance of securing the carrying of the
wheat in their houses waiting for heavier
carrying charges, and their competition to
get it to-day, first., at 6c, spread, and failing in
that, at s\,e. brought about the liveliest rally
which has been seen on change since last
May. There was an actual famine in Hieptem
ber and l>egeinber wheat and the starving
shorts fought for it like tigers until the Indl
announced to day's business was at an end.
Until noon the market was decidedly dull,
and the opening wee higher. Fiuctua
ton ip t midday w< 4
lined to a range of \i(fo\c.
When the export clearances from New York
and Baltimore were made known a slight
tremor of fear was sent through bodies of
shorts, and they began to grasp for the limit
of earnings which came out. Corn got some
help from the advance in wheat < .’onsidoni
ble business was transacted in the way of
changing, and • receivers and shippers alike
were buying near futures. Buying was led
by a large shipping concern, followed by some
of the leading elevator interests who were
taking September and October and selling
December. The Price Currents
statement was rather bearish.
The market opened with * 44c.
loss and gradually advanced Yule, became
strong, changing but little, and at the close
had gained ‘yh \c. In oats there was fair
business in the way of changing from Sep
tember to May. but there was no regular
trading of imoortance and a quiet and stead
ier feeling 1 r vailed. Prices had 4c range
and closed V* higher. Provision traders
could not be waked up from their lethargy,
but the market was firm, without more than
a few widely scattered trades. Price
changes from last night are insignificant.

The President of Venezuela enjoys a com
fortable prerogative which many of the office
holders of this country would like very much
to have, says the Now Orleans Picayune. He
has th right to say how much salary he shall
receive. A few days ago ho issued a decree
raising his salary from 118.000 to $24,000 a
year. He also raised the salaries of his cab
lnet ministers to JO.OOO. and. to make things
even, reduced the salaries of members of the
federal council and judges of the supreme
and superior courts. Judges do not count
a!nn/side of execut.ves m that country. It is
suid that Crespo has also absorbed the Bank
of Venezuela, so that it is now practically an
administration institution. This change,
strange to say. has not had a favorable effect
on the standing of the bank in commercial
circles, and the stock has fallen off four points.
