News Office, Wednesday, Juno 9.—There
was a little more activity In the market to-day
nnd some variations in prices occurred. There
w as a better demand in all lines, and, as a
whole, the market was the best for some
weeks past. Coffee Is strong on quotations,
and holders are not inclined to make conces-
sions. Meats are stronger, with a tendency to
higher prices, shoulders advancing Xc to-day,
though there was no other advance. Butter
of all kinds is in good supply and prices are
down again. Cornmeal is in fair supply, and
though the demand Is good, prices are a shade
lower. Sugar shows more strength, but prices
are unchanged.
Cotton continues lifeless without any ma-
terial changes. The quotations of yesterday
were repeated to-day, without a single excep-
tion, at all the leading spot markets. Futures
in Liverpool were unchanged, and New York
and New Orleans show only fractional varia-
tions.
The receipts at the ports continue to be
largely in excess of those of last year, and also
show an increase over last week and the week
previous, but there is a steady decrease in
stocks at St. Louis, Memphis, and all other
Interior towns, the decrease at Memphis and
St. Louis alone during the past week footing
up 15,! 4 5 bales.
The stock at all ports to-day foots up 4110,100
bales, of which 14,ii23 bales are held here, 86,5(51
in New Orleans, and '276,709 in New York,

New Yokk, June 9.—The ways and means

present, or the restoration of higher,duties on

Several roads In the Southwest have formed
a combination to divert a large portion of the

Money, Stocks and Bonds.
NEW Tobk, June 9.—Government bonds dull
and steady to day. State bonds quiet and linn.
Kailroad "bonds continued active and strong.
Erie second consols ex. June coupons were
conspicuous features in dealing, while funded
fives and Canada Southern seconds were also
notable for activity. The closing prices shosv
a large propoition of gains. Central Iowa,
eastern division, sixes are up 2 to 70; Erie
funded live 2^ to 01V. St. Joseph and Grand
Island incomes 2*4 to 65. In stocks the
principal talk was in regard to Lake Shore and
Nickle Plate. There was good buying
by insiders in Lake Shore on the motion
made by Judge Kanney at Cleveland to post
pone hearing in the Nickle Plate case. In view
of the rumor of a iswttlenient it is considered
at least signillcant. In regard to Oregon
Transcontinental it is claimed by friends of
the present management that they have more
proxies in large blocks than the opposition
ever claimed to have. The result of the meet-
ing of the Western Union directors had no ap-
preciable effect on stocks, as their action was
discounted during the last few days. London
was a large buyer of Lake Shore, while
houses were credited with trading both ways
in the market to day. The market was firm at
the opening, a majority of the stocks being
from >«®,,4 above last evening's closing. Ic
was quiet toward noon, even dull, although
there was a slow appreciation of values. In
the early dealings Western Union was con-
spicuously strong, reacting a fraction later In
the day. Toward 2 o'clock there was renewed
buying, with increased activity. The market
became decidedly stronger, remaining so
throughout the rest of the day, and closed at
the best figures reached. Everything is higher
to night. Western Union and Lackawanna are
up 1 , Erie, Louisville and Nashville, Northern
Pacific, preferred, and St. Paul each 1 and
Lake Shore 1>£, the remainder of the list frac-
tional amounts.

Chicago, June 9.—The wheat deal on
'change continues active and excited. Fluc-
tuations are sharp and severe and trad®
heavier than at any time this year. Tha
late change of front by John Cudahy, Keanr
and their followers has filled the bull
leaders with pluck and money, and holders
are now thoroughly satisfied that the lower
edge of the long period of depression has
been reached, and that an era of enhancing
values has set in. Billy Linn says: "I be-
lieve in higher prices," while Charlie Sin-
ger, Schwartz, Crittenden, Driver and all
their attendants are outspoken on the sama
side. In fact, there seems to be almost too
many bulls. If their number was less the
deal would look sounder. The oear side,
however, is still very attractive to a largo
elementj English speculators notably show-
ing no inclination to abandon the position
that has proved one of profit to them. St.
Louis also daily sends in brilliant crop re-
iiorts by the basketful, claiming that the
larvesting and winter wheat is progressing
rapidly in southern Missouri, and it is evi-
dent that a majority of the traders in that
city are short here. The Minneapolis mil-
lers, too, although they worked hard for au
advance when prices were lOfelSc. higher,
were sellers around 75 cents, and are now
rushing all the grain possible into sight,
and endeavoring to effect a break. Very
few of the old Dulls, who had been such
heavy losers on the long side for
the past year owned any wheat
when the upturn did come. They
believed in ultimately higher prices, but
were " short" for a time. The popular idea
is that the big fellows loaded up enormous-
ly at the very bottom, and that they do not
feel the necessity of artificially assisting
values heavenward at this junction. The
syndicate is letting the public and the little
fellows have the market, preferring to have
prices work up naturally if they will. The
deal, however, is really between the large
capitalists and, as Essex remarked this
morning, " is likely to be one of the most
bitterly contested fights ever seen." The
bulge has in a measure checked the move-
ment from west to east, but clearances from
the seaboard continue heavy. Very little new
business is reported from there but the old
business shows up well and the stoppage oE
the export movement is not yet manifest.
From the spring wheat sections in the
northwest numerous reports of crop dam-
age by drouth and frost are received,
and, while they are doubtless exaggerated,
there is probably some basis for the stories.
Still it should be remembered that the num-
ber of tailers on the present bull move-
ment is enormous and a general shakeout
is in order at *iny time now.
Corn rules strong in sympathy with
wheat. The dry weather prevailing so gen-
erally in the West is also affecting the
crops and bringing many unfavorable re-'
ports.
The feelings in provisions is also firm,
the fear of damage to the growing corn
helping product.

Continuation of the Commencement Exorcises—
A Creditable Showing,
Special to The News.
Huntsville, June!!.—The seventh annual
commencement exercises of the Sam Hous-
ton Normal institute opened Monday night
with a joint entertainment of the literary

resentatives selected from the various so-
cieties.
Miss Jessie I'ritchett, a charming young
lady of the l'hilomathean society, delivered
in a sweet and pleasing manner the saluta-
tory.
Miss Fritchett was followed by Miss Min-
nie Marsh, of the Eclectics, in a recitation,
which was well rendered, and displayed the
young lady's wonderful dramatic talent.
Tlie p.ddress of Miss Brackett, of the Lone
Star society, was well received.

foi m of government than a republic." Tne

ley, of the Adelphiau, for the affirmative,
aii(l by Mr. B. F. Mitchell, of the LoueStar,
and W. J. Coward, of the Pbilomathean, for
the negative. Decided by the judges in fa-
vor of the negative.
