EXCITEMENT IN PRODUCE MARKETS

The improved condition of the President was
the reason given yesterday by members of the Pro-
duce Exchange for the great advance in the prices
OF breadstuis and provisions One of the most con-
servative members said The merchants seem to
have lost their the strong probability of
the Presidents ultimate recovery butHwhlle there
IS great cause for rejoicing over such hopefuness
think the merchants have overcstimated the effect
such miracle would have. With the death of the
President and the consequent confusion there is no
aoubt but that business and finances would be uu-
settled but there Is for anticipating that
the continued and uninterrupted prosperity of the
country would warrant such "a speculative craze
In my opinion. unless ii is checked il will be fell
lowed by disaster"
The markets for breadstuiIs were much higher
yesterday than before, hoLr advancing from 10 to
- cents barrel more than on Wednesday, wheat
from ! TO cents Il bushcl, corn from u TO 2lo
cents. and oats from TO 3 cents. Lard also adj
vanccd about 20 cents hundred pounds with
corresponding advance III pork. There was a strong
speculative demand but exporters were not anxious
tC make any TRANSACTIONS at present prices. The
spoculators wire elated. wHIle shippers were de-
lected and offered charter vessels much below the
day previous. 1t was believed that much CON
hdence had been placed IL higher values and that
II speculation continued at present prices the *
port trade would be injured and a panic would
follow

 QUESTION OF IDENTITY.
 In respect to the important question of identity, Professor Boss states positively that this comet is the same as that seen from South America on June by Dr. Gould, who was, by the way, the first director of the Dudley Observatory. This statement is based upon careful consideration of the rates and direction of motion since the comet has been visible in the northern hemisphere, as it is now conceded that this cannot be @ return appearance of the comet of 1872. Dr. Boss is satisfied that 1t is not the comet of 1907; first, because the computations of Bessel assign to that comet period of 1, 700 years and Bessel was the greatest practical astronomer of the century. Secondly, &C., cording to such rough computations as have been made here the path of this comet is found to be decidedly different from that which the comet of 1907 would take if it could be seen. Gould undoubtedly saw this comet for the first time, and before the phe- nomenon disappears it will afford exceeding ly valuable scientific information.

He had merely to leave bundle and come right back He could have done it in five minutes, and he has been gone two hours I'll discharge him when he returns" And the stranger spoke up: s'Please send him to my store then. There's my address. I will take that boy an apprentice, and, if he holds out, he shall be my partner. He's the boy I've been looking for.' And the merchant asked "Why on earth do you want such boy?

 The Secretary of the Interior has appoint ed as a clerk in the Indian office Frank La fesche brother of the Indian girl who, un- der the name of -' Bright Eyes," made so many friends in the eastern States by her modest and pathetic appeal for justice to her people.

It is designed, after he has acquired in Washington some knowl- edge of the methods of Indian administra- tion, to send him to one of the Indian agen- cies as clerk or superintendent, and to ad- vance him, if he proves faithful and compe- tent, to the position of agent. The Secre- tary hopes also to take into the Indian bureau other young men from the schools at Hamp- ton and Carlisle, and to take into the service at the agencies promising boys as assistants to the blacksmiths, carpenters, millers and farmers employed on the reservations, train ing them for positions of greater responsi- bility and usefulness, so that before many years a great part of the government work for the Indians will be done by capable and intelligent men of their own people

Successful experiments have been made in England with the electric light in collieries- The Swan lamp was employed, in which the light proceeds from the incandeseence of fine fibre of carbon, the combustion of which is prevented by it's being enclosed in an ex- hausted glass bulb. These were again en- closed in lanterns, so constructed as to rem der it impossible that the fracture of the lamp within could cause an explosion, inas- much as the air inside the lantern would suffice for the instantaneous combustion of the carbon flaments before the flames could be communicated to the external air The new light was found to be admir- ably suited for the requirements of the work CTS, since it not only gave light many times as intense as the lights it replaced, but it was equally brilliant in whatever position it was placed and required absolutely no attention.
