EIGHTY-ONE CENTS FOR FUTURES
. . ,-; i
Wild lcM ei Cbanf 7f w York and
Chicago Markets Greatly Ki
clted Yesterday.
Chicago, May 23. Wheat started with
a wild lunge for the dollar mark today,
touching SI cents for July option before
9 :30.' At the tap of the opening bell al
most every man on the floor apparently
was frantically yelling for wheat. There
was but little on sale, and the market
opened. wildly at from 3 to -4 cents ad
vance above last night, the first trades
ranging from 80 to 81 cents, as compared
with 77 cents at last night's close. Big
profits in 81-cent wheat were too allur
ing to many fortunate holders, and as
they began to let go of large quantities,
prices, dropped from the high point.
From' 81 cents, July wheat tumbled
rapidly to 79 cents, reacting about 10
o'clock to 79 cents. The immediate
cause of the bulge was the condition of
foreign markets. Liverpool was reported
as plunging madly at about 5 cents
above yesterday's price, and other Euro
pean markets were almost radically
strong. Crop damage reports were still
pouring in from all portions of the wheat
belt.
Trading was enormous, and it is esti
mated that probably 200,000,000 bushels
. were bought and sold daring the Trading
hours. Every broker had bis bands full
of buying orders, all from out-of-town
peculators. Orders front New York
came by scores. The difference between
New York and country orders was that
Gotham, speculators generally named the
price at which they desired to invest,
while the country dealers put no limit on
transactions, their telegrams simply say
ing, '.'Buy wheat." J. C. Schwartz, a
sensational plunger in corn and wheat
for years, failed to respond to margin
calls made upon him yesterday after
noon, and did not pay his debt balance
in the clearing-house. Buying in wheat
which he was short by firms with whom
he bad trades caused a rise in July to
SOJgC from around 80c, where it drop
ped after the opening bulge, and several
other minor but yet considerable fluct
uations. Before the excitement attend'
ing the covering of Schwartz's line of 60,
000,000 bushels or so subsided, the price
swelled to 82c. In the last lea minutes
a phenomenal slump occurred. July
broke from 81c to 7&c, lc advance
over last night's closing. The decline
was due solely to ' the heavy taking of
profits by holders, largely local profes
sionals. The country was a consistent
' buyer pp to the finish.
Capture the Town ol ' Maehala 'With
' Arms and Amaaanition..
New Yokk, May 23. A special to a
local paper fiom Panama says:
"The steamer Loa, which has arrived
here, brought confirmation of advices
that the town of Machala and the arms
and ammunition of the government have
been captured . by the revolutionists.
The entire province of Manipi is reported
to be in arms. ' The capital, Port Viejo,
is in the power of patriots of La Honra
Naccional. General Yepez, of - the gov
ernment forces is a prisoner. Crowds of
yonng men of Guayaquil are waiting in
the city to join the revolutionary armies.
The government is said to be completely
demoralised. Its official action is In
disaccord with Its friendly decree that
issued a general amnesty while calling
an extra session of congress for a popular
election. . Secretary of State Sarasti is in
disaccord with General . Flores, com
mander of Guayaquil, who is likely to
be deprived of his.office. Doctors Vela
and Fernandez are at the head of the re
volution. Aaabato is marching on Quito
with a force of 1,000 men. Esmeraldas
was still in the hands of the government
May 17, but it was feared that the rebels
intend an attack shortly to regain pos
session of the port. ,
Coke Orltlelaee Carlisle.
Waco, Tex., May 23. Senator Coke
has this to say of Secretary Carlisle's
Covington speech :
"It is the most pettifogging exhorta
tion I ever read and I am surprised that
a man of Carlisle's reputed ability
would make such an effasion. The
gold bugs .put Carlisle up to make
the speech and they would be great fools
not to clap their hands after he had
spoken. The friends of silver will not
however, throw np the sponge on ac
count of it. - The Cleveland democrats
are highly pleased and express their
-' belief that the speech is the most mas
terly presentation ot the currency prob
lem yet given to the public."
The Presbyterian Assembly.
Pittbubg, May 23. In the. Presby
terian general assembly today the ques
tion from New York came up on the

" Prominent Memphis Cltisens.
Mbmphis, May 23. The sound-money
convention, which met here this after
noon, is a much bigger affair in point of
attendance than its most sanguine proj
ectors anticipated. There are thous
ands of visitors iu the city. It is un
officially announced that Hon. Thomas
C. Catehings, member of congress from
the third district of Mississippi, will be
made permanent chairman. Governor
Stone of Mississippi, was appointed a
delegate but could not come, as he had
an engagement to go to the ex-Confeder
ate reunion at Houston, Tex. Mr. Car
lisle arrived at 5 -.30 and was escorted by
a committtee to the hotel. His apart
ment was crowded all morning with
prominent Memphis citizens.
HUNTINGTON'S TKIP ABROAD.
Will Try to Float the New Southern
Pacific Bonds.
New York, May 23. Two of the
reasons tor C. P. Huntington's trip
abroad are said to be the sale of a por
tion of the new Southern Pacific bonds
nnder the $89,000,000 which was author
ized last year for various purposes, in
cluding the funding of the floating debt,
and a personal conference with the repre
sentatives of the Panama canal interest
which own the Panama railroad. In ad
dition to these things Huntington, as al
ready mentioned, will confer with the
Englishmen about Central Pacific mat
ters and try to reach a satisfactory un
derstanding for the extension of the in
terest en bonds and the dividends on
stocks.
' New York Kxclted. '
Nk.w York, May 23. In the wheat
market today there was wild tumult and
buying with almost total disregard to
price. July opened at 82c to 83c, a
rise of 3c to 3c from the official close
yesterday. After jumping to 83c, the
price lost 1 cent, and then swung back
again, advancing to 84c. The trans
actions amounted to 18,000,000 bushels
before 12 o'clock, which is almost un
heard of. ' "

Cold Weather Has Very Bad
Them. ''.

crop bulletin says the exceptionally cool
weather of the past week has been very
unfavorable for most crops, and wide-

which have been general throughout the
northern and central portions of Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi. The damage
to the grape crop has been-especially
heavy in New York and Pennsylvania,
and fruits generally hae suffered in all
northern and . central districts.1 Corn

planting will be necessary, and where
not injured by frosts, its growth has
been checked and the plant yellowed.
Cotton has also suffered much from un
seasonable cold weather throughout the
cotton regions, its growth has been re
tarded and cold nights have killed a part
of the crop in the Carol in as and Georgia,
rendering replanting necessary. Spring
wheat is reported in excellent condition
and not unfavorably affected in North
Dakota. Winter wheat suffered injury
from frost in Indiana and Illinois the
crop is less promising than heretofore,
and no improvement has been experien
ced in Kansas and Nebraska. More sat
