New York, Aug. 4.—Tho Sun's cotton report says: There is an Idea that the tariff will soon be settled and that the trade reason that a settlement of this question will cause a revival of business. The crop news was gcnerall favorable, but there was some reports of too much rain in parts of the Atlantic states and of not enough rain In Borne ports of Texas.

Chicago, Aug. 4.—The only break in to day's dull, listless half holiday session of the wheat market came when the exports from the Atlantic seaboard were posted*. It has been many a long day since the clearances for twenty-four hours even ap proached the 1,000,000 bushel mark. Today they exceeded that figure, aggregating in ■wheat and flour 1,022,090 bushels, it was near the close when it became known, and it was doubtful If their influence was fully exerted. The last few minutes’ trad ing was the most active of the day, with a concentration of the strength of the sesaibn In that period. September wheat opened from 53ftaH, sold between Mfta B%a5l, closing c-t b3%. unchanged from yesterday. Caah wheat woe In good de mand at unchanged prices. Corn opened easy, with the local pro fessionals on top of the market, as they have been for a week, when prices were up. Thsy suffered the usual whip-saw be fore the day was over, covering their early sales at a loss, whilst the poor farmer had again the best of the situa tion, having bought when the price was weak and realized at the top. Frosts that were predicted by the local observer did not materialize; neither did it rain aiy- where, tor was anything in the shape of showers promised by the Washington bu reau during the next thirty-six hours. The weak start was succeeded by a firmer tone, which developed in positive strength before the close. Last prices were almost the outside for the day, with Septem ber H of a cent higher than yesterday and May showing.a gain of %a% cents. May continues to be the favored atrding option, aversion to September arising from fear of manipulation. But a quiet trade was shown in the oat market. No feature developed during the short session, the tone coming from* the neighboring pita. At the close September was a abode below yesterday's final quota tions. Cash oats were quiet and steady. Provisions were easy from the start until within a few minutes of the close, when the higher corn market became a factor and helped prices a little. The of note occurred. The hog market Ws easy at tho close, which probably lent something to the weakness of product. yesterday. September lard and ribs each lost 2ft cents for the day. CASH QUOTATIONS.

Chicago, Aug. 3.—The American Railway Union adJournKl at 10 o’clock tonight, after a most ’.urbulent and unsatisfactory meeting. Ostensibly the object of the meeting was to consider the causes leading to the great-West ern strike and to And out Che present status thereof, .but there la a general Impression among close observers that tho real object vf the vlbetlng was to’ be found In a boom fur Euguene V. Debs for the governorship of Indiana. This Is, however, strenuously denied by the leaders of .the A. It. U. who de clare chat this report was circulated by enemies ol Debs to Injure him In the railway laboring classes. Tho con vention throughout was strongly po litical In character and there was much more talk of the Populist .party in the two days’ deliberations, which ended tonight, than tor the rights ol labor. It is certuln that should Debs dire to run lor the chief magistracy of Che Hoosler. state in ’the election on tho Populist ticket he would receive the support of the party almost to a (nan. When approached on this subject to night by a reporter Debs denied that he had any political end In view. He had, he said, only the good will of the laboring men at heart. . The most important action taken by the convention was tho Issuing of a general address, tho title of which was "A resolution to the voters of the coun try.’’ The sentiment of this address, the text of which the convention de clined to make public, •rf’as almost en tirely political, advising every labor ing man to turn out at the polls and vote the ticket of the People's pnrty. The resolution generally condemoned the railroads nnd monopolies and gave reasons why the. strike should not be declared off In favor of Individual strikers on the different railroads sys tems. The alleged unwarranted inter ference of tho federal authorities is en larged upon. The statement la made that the strike would have Been suc cessful but for tho action of the fed eral authorities Instigated by the rall- by other commodities.
