FARMERS UNWISELY HOLDING. The Wheat Crop Evidently Larger than the- Govtrhnieut Has Estimated Cotton Goods Strong Wool Market Overloaded by Speculative Purchases New York, Sept 14. R. G. Duhh fe in their weekly review of trade, say: A slight setback, which may mean much or nothing, according to the final outcome of the crops, is not unexpected at this season.

If the government crop reports were correct, the situation would not be encouraging. But not much confidence is plaeed in the reduced estimate of corn, none at all in the estimate of wheat and even the; most enthusiastic bulls do not think it worth while to quote the government report as to eotton. The fact is that we are beginning to market not far from 2,200,000,000 bushels of corn, though about 500,000,000 bushels will be moved from the counties where it is grown; about bushels of wheat, of which the farmers are very unwisely holding back a large proportion, and about 7,200,000 bales of cotton, if the latter indications are not erroneous, as they may be, to add to the stocks carried over. The commercial stocks of cotton September 1 here and abroad amounted to 2.100.53S bales and domestic mill stocks were 360,618 bales, allowing not a single bale for increase of stocks at southern mills. Prices have settled back a little during the week, notwithstanding the gloomy department re port The wheat crop is evidently larger than the department has estimated, though nobody knows how much larg er, and is coming lorwara witn more encouraging rapidity, no less than 773,173 bushels having been received at western ports against 5,446,001 bushels for the same week last year from a much larger crop.

The farmers have undoubtedly been keeping back wheat under an agreement among themselves. It does not seem a profitable operation for them. Exports from Atlantic ports for the two weeks of September have been 2,417,873 bushels (flour included) against 5,310,926 bush els last year. The price decllneu sharply, about 2 cents per bushel, with little indication of recovery. The price of corn has also yielded with a strong prospect of.

the largest croo ever grown, and at 38 cents at New York a large proportion of the crop will be of little profit to farmers. If we are to have a large crop of rrain and a small crop of cotton it is natural to infer that manufacturers may find large transactions at the west, but not at the south. There is, in fact, a very large demand for goods at the west, and westbound shipments are unusually large, although shipments from Chicago for four weeks amount, to only 210,318 tons, gainst 222,144 for the same week in 18. The largest output of pig iron ever known, 194,029 tons, is apparently supported by a reduction of 64,000 tons in stocks of pig iron unsold, but the fact the great steel companies have taken their guarantees, which are not included in the official statement, is less valuable. The market for finished -products is a little weaker with indications of hesitation on the part of buyers at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, although prices are on the whole fairly Cotton goods have been strong, witfi a comparatively good market for raw cotton, but at the close a decline is indicated, because the market for raw cotton has shown much weakness.

Sales of wool have been 6, 147,900 pounds for the week, against 11,311,300 pounds for the same week in 1892, and there are indications that the domestic market is quite overloaded by the speculative purchases made some time ago. Failures for the week were 18f in the United States, against 219 ldst year, and 34 iu Canada, against 44 last year. 'The Inspection fee levied by the Kansas live stock sanitary commission upon cattle coming into that state will be abolished, upon recommendation of Gov. Morrill. TERSE TALES OF THE TOWN.

CIRCUS DAY COMING. Only a Little While to Wait for Ring-ling Big The approach of Ringling day in this city has created wide-spread interest, and it is safe to predict that the great amusement enterprise known as Ringling Bros' World's Greatest Shows receive 'an enthusiastic welcomo when it exhibits in Kansas City, Ma, Monday September 16.

Ringling exhibition is larger, grander and more comprehensive than ever this year, and the press of other cities unhesitatingly pronounce it the greatest enterprise of its kind in the world. In point of novelty or in the number of great features no other show can it. The concerts of the Liber a ti band alone constitute a grand and complete entertainment, and musical people are especially interested in this grand extra teature of the big snow, ine triple ring perxorniance is beyouud all comparison the beet ever seen in America. The menagerie, with its giant giraffe, the ponderous hippopotamus and tho many other rare and curious wild beasts; tte horse with its 4oo valuable horses the grand opening tournament; the Roman hippodrome, with its thrilling standing races, its exciting two and four horse chariot races and other engrossing contests, all contribute to a performance which extent, variety and costliness, defies description. We would call particular attentiou to the procession which will leave the show grounds at lo oclock on the morning of the exhibition and move over the principal down town streets.

Ringling Bro3. have always been famed for tbeir great street pageant, but this year's effort far surpasses that of any previous year. Nothing more splen dent or gorgeously beautiful could be imagined. W. E.

The date October 1, up to which time the syndicate nas trie option on any new issue of bonds, will not mark the limit of effort to keep the reserve any more than the final date of the payment of bonds did.

Encampment Adjourns to Meet in Sr. ParL THE REPORT OH PENSION LAWS. The Officers Elected by the ex-Prison era of War, the Daughters of the Confederacy, The Ladies Cirole and tha R.C. LouisvnxE, Sept 14. At the G.

A. R. encampment yesterday reso lutions were adopted declaring that all veterans should be favored by civil service boards without regard to age. This was brought about by the fact that many civil service boards in Chicago, Washington and other large cities had put an age limit on applications for examinations and in this way many able-bodied old soldiers have been shut out A resolution favoring the placing of flags upon every public school building and the introduction of military drill in the public school curriculum was also adopted with resolutions of sympathy for the parents and friends of the young militiamen killed by the explosion of the caisson Wednesday. The delegates declared against long parades and marehes at future encampments.

It was decided that a special celebration should' be held on the next anniversary of the establishment of the first Grand Army post. Resolutions were -adopted asking congress to make an annual appropriation to defray the expenses of conducting Memorial day services in national cemeteries, favoring the establishment of a military post at Vicksburg, and for the erection of a soldiers' home at Camp Supply, Ok. Dr. J. li.

Whiting, of Janesville, was eleeted surgeon-general and Thomas Iliff, of Utah, chaplain-in- chief. The report of the committee on pen sions, after reviewing the work accom plished by the soldiers of the union during the war and the laws passed in their behalf, says: In some quarters the old soldier has come to be looked upon in the light of a burden Instead of a great and patriotic privilege, as he should still appear, when viewed in his true char acter. Referring to this view wholly unworthy of a great and patriotic people constructions have been put upon the laws, wise and just in themselves, by and under which burdens and restrictions have been imposed upon those able to stand up under them. The Just -provisions authorized have been grudgingly doled out as though the laws passed in the interest of the pensioner as a just recogni tion of tho obligations of the country were criminal laws, to be strictly construed, and the publie beneficiaries thereof were public enemies or pirates seeking admission to the treasury of the United States. After commenting further upon the.

justice pf tthe pensions law, and the purpose" for which -C they were- the report continues: We demand for our comrades the just due which the oountry gladly concedes. No niggardly cutting down of pensions under the guise of reissues; no partial and grudging allowances that cut here and there will meet with the full measure of duty that the country owes to its surviving heroes. Nothing short of full measure, dealt with an honest hand, a 'liberal heart, will ever meet with the approbation of the American people. For this we appeal to the grateful patriotic sentiment of -the whole people, and we earnestly believe that our appeal will not be in vain. Receding from no position that we, have heretofore taken, reaffirming all our previous declarations on the subject, we especially demand a liberal and just construction of the laws passed for the benefit of the pensioner to the end that in his declining years he may not be harrassed with doubts of a distrust or the difficulties thrown around him by a righteous or restricted construction of the laws passed in the past to relieve his condition.

The report was adopted unanimously. The roll was called by states for the naming of the council' of administration. Among those selected were: Ar kansas, Powell Clayton; Iowa, A. W. Swahn; Kansas, D.

B. Dornblaser; Missouri, F. M. Sterrett; Nebraska. T.

J. Majors; Oklahoma, J. Hassler; Texas, L. Whitman. A resolution was adopted appointing a co mmittee of five to arrange for the erection of a monument at Washington to commemorate the loyal women' who served as nurses or in other ways aided the soldiers of the union during the rebellion.

A resolution was adopted empowering the commander-in-chief and council of administration to change the place of holding the next encampment should the railroads or, hotels not make satisfactory rates. A rule was made permitting posts to consolidate as membership trew less. A resolution was adopted recommending that congress should pass a law equalizing the pensions of widows so that all shall receive at least 312 a month. Some of them are now receiving from to 810 a month. The committee on resolutions reported adversely on the resolution asking congress to fix a penalty on the law regarding the favoring of veterans applying for gov ernmental positions.

The senior vice commander, surgeon- general and junior vice commander were then installed, after which the chaplain and commander-in-chief were in turn installed. The excampment then adjourned, to meet in St Paul next year. Commander-in-Chief N. Walker is sued his first order last night- It read as follows: General Order No. 0.
