One small mill dronned out, leaving fourteen in motion, producing about the average output of a week ago. The river, owing to lacs 01 rain, is auite low for this season of the year. and several mills are somewhat affected by the shortage of power. Exces sively warm weather has the effect of curtailing the flour output some. The flour market is dull, with the demand tor baaers' and lower grades good.

Fatents are very hard to sell at prices that millers can afford to accent. Exports last week were slightly improved, being 59,330 barrels. The wheat receipts for the past week were 801,360 bush els. The shipments of wheat were bushels, 97,538 barrels of flour, and 3,627 tons of mill stuff. Wheat in store: Minneapolis, 6.025,594 boshels; Duluth, 8,625,44 bushels; at.

and tne alleged mystery which was supposed to hang over this action, ice President Bond denied any attemDt at secrecy, and said that the matter had been verylfully explained at the meeting; of the new stock as set aside for the purchase of the Chicago Evanston road, which the St. Paul company would acquire at its ectual cost. They regarded this as a very valuable property, including as it does a right 01 way into umcago and termi nal facilities, which alone are worth $1,000, uuu, accoroirg to tneir estimate. Abe pur chase of this line, Mr. Armour stated.

was arranged before Alexander Mitchell's death, but Mr. Mitchell never bad any finan cial interest in the line.

rill to lake Superior. They have 3,000 men at work north of Morrill now. Mr. Armour predicted that they would reach the Gouge bio region before the stow flies. When questioned as to why an issue of stock hsd been preferred to an issue of bond, Mr.

Bond said that it was done simply because they all agreed thinking that it wai much better and sounder financial policy to issue stock than bonds. Concerning the presi dency of the roaa tne directors said that there waa no occasion for hurry in rilling the place. They wanted to be sure to select the right man for the place and while several names were under consideration no one had as yet been selected. When asked concerning the report connect ing T. J.

WASHINGTON WIRINGS. Argument Against the Suspension of Sec tion 4 of the Interstate Commerce Law. Washington, D. June 8. At the inter state commerce commission's session to-day E.

N. Taft, counsel for Sutton New York, representing the Clipper ship lines, opposed the transcontinental railroad lines being released from the operation of section 4. In referring to the efforts of the trans continental lines and the Pacific Mail Steam ship company to endeavor to secure the bus pension of section 4, Taft said that George Gould is a prominent candidate for the presi dency of one of these so that the rela tions between the companies promise to re semble the marriage of royal families as illustrating the nature of the competition which theClipper lines are compelled to meet. Taft produced the tantf sheet of booth ern Paoifio Railroad company offering to take freight for California from several hundred eastern cities and towns at the through rate charged from New York to California. He said that these virtually amounted to a rebate to these points, and if the Clipper line took freight frcm Newburgh for Cahfornin they would require shipper to pay charges from the interior town to New lora.

Special regulations to aid local quarantine authorities will be pro mulgated hereafter, should the occasion re quire.

Mr. Gould left the city this afternoon on his yacht and, it is supposed, has gone back to ortresa Monroe. An order has been issued by the war de partment directing the dismissal "without character" of W. H. Green, the colored man that has ever been admitted to the signal service.

It was stated that his record there has been very unsatisiae- tory, and that had he been a white man his career in the signal service would have been summarily cut short long ago, but a desire to give him every possible opportunity to improve led to his retention until informa tion reached the signal service authorities of such a character as to necessitate his im mediate removal.

FURNISHING GOODS, ETC.

John S. Smith moved that "the report be referred bacK to the committe with instructiens strike out the attempt to boom Mr. Blaine." He said he voted for Blaine in 1884, and would vote for him again, but he deplored any direct endorsement of a oandidate in advance of the convention's action.

Storage Room Scarce. Chicago, June 8.

The Inter-Ocean to morrow will say: There is estimated to be' 28,000,000 bushels of regular storage room in (Jmcago, and there are 22,000,000 bushels of grain in store. The average daily business handling of receipts and shipments of grain is about 2,000.000 bushels. This leaves 4,000,000 bushels of storage room yet unoc- nnmiiH hnt thi all wi 1 1 ha rtAirl ann 1 a Tt obtainable by the shorts. The result of this closing of facilities for terminal storage has been to close up two railroads for the receipt of grain, and possibly three roads more will be so blocked as to 6top handling grain. The first road to-serve notice that no more grain would be received for the present waa the St.

Paxils and this fact by some i considered very significant. The result has bcea to bring the matter before" the directors of the board of trade, and they have started an investigation in the matter. A committee has been appointed to look into the t-torage question and see if some means cannot be adopted to prevent a paralysis of trade here. With a few more of the western roads blocked up with grain that cannot be handled and notice of stoppage served upon the shippers, the board of trade might as well shut up for a time. The clique that has now the wheat market in its send the price up to $1 a bushel and have it ail to themselves.

The short ends will have to set down and pay any difference that the clique may see fit to ask. On the Warpath. Tucson, Abiz June 8.

Ken yon's work behind the bat was only fair, his throwing to second being so poor that the members of the home club ran from first to second with impunity, but one man failing to steal the base.
