Another important turn was made in the

that is, important to Minneapolis. Tt was
the css on rates of shipping wheat to Chi

cents per 100 pounds down to five cents.
This WAS made by the Omaha road. &. tA-
erto the cut has been confined to the ship

ported that the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.

to suspend operations when their present

street this afternoon is the rumor that Mr..
Gould has in contemplation new scheme
now in the shape of consolidation or
leases for bringing the Missouri Pacific,
Hannibal, st. Joe & Wabash, under
such control as will tend to the reduction
of expenses and rebound to the peculiar
benefit of each.
The short interest Western Union is sup
posed to be the largest ever known. There
the short interest is estimated at 10000,
one house alone being short $4,000, another
$4,000 and another $4,000 shares. The
vigorous efforts of Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Van
derbilt, who are both working in accord.
stemmed the fierce current of the bears,
and while they csuld not dissipate the un-
settled tendency, seemed we'll satisfied that
no heavy break occurred.
One of the devices of the
bears was the dealing out
of score or more small lots OF stock
in tens, fifteens, mines, twenties, twenty-
fves, and fifteens, to give the impression,
no doubt, that small investors were scared,
and were running out of the market. All
these lines piled out one after another, and
uselessly consumed about a yard Of tape.
Another device was to borrow large sums
of money and leave them at the bank to
force up the rate, money loaned at 20
per cent. That is, the bulls say these
were bear devices.
The bulls keep up their courage. They
report cheerily that the suspension of the
steel and iron mills will be only
temporary, and will be of
inestimable benefit to the scores
of railroads who have been waiting
for just such an opportunity to shake off
their old iron rails and indulge in the lux
ury of steel rails. Several roads are now
making heavy contracts with the mills for
steel rails at $40 ton. The Joliet mills
are said to have old contracts at $3.50 Sc
on hand tina: will keep them busy until
spring.
The Northwest situation presents no new
features OF impo rtenee. The general
opinion is that the fight is too hot to last.

NHw YORK, Nov. 22.-Jay Gould, in &
talk with reporter to-day said, he thought
the decline in stocks had gone further than
any element in the situation would war
rant. An uneasy feeling as to what the
policy of the government might be with
regard to the management of the public
treasury has arisen, and this unsasiness
had resulted in callins loans TO a large ex-
tent, which neesssitAtsd extensive iiquida-
ton. For his own part he had not been
purchasing stocks until within the past
week, butw now buying and shsuld con-
tinus to buy stocks to hold, a. they were
cheap enough to pay 4 good return fer
those who soald take care Of them. Gould
said, tho product Of the southwest this year
was very large, and the busi-
ness situation highly saessrsgiag. The
cotton crop Of Texas would reach $4,000
bales, and that state had produced IN i'm
nsnss crop Of corn and whest. Texas was
new exporting moro cattle AID wool than
ever before. Kansas has big crop, and
the same il true Of the middle section

railroad rates are being maintained, and
the reads are doing good business. There
10 heavy immigration, and large num-
Dor of people are going in BY New Or
leans and Galveston. Speaking of the
troubles, Gould said the chief difficulty
was in regard TO the Besssmer steel
industry, which had a sspsoity for axch
greater supply than the present
railroad building of the country demanded
The iron interest was net depressed, and
hs understood it TO be doing fairly well.
The Vulcan Steel works Of st. Louis would
probably shut down partially uAtil they
could adjust their differences with labor
ers, but there was demand that wssld
keep the mills running, II net full time,

WISE WORDS.

Faith and hope cure more diseases

Hope is the brightest star in the
armament of youth.
The reward of doing one duty is the
power to perform another.
The pleasure of doing good is the only

Next to love, sympathy is the di-

A noble part of every true life is to

The very nature of love is to find its
joy in serving others, not for ones own
benefit but for theirs.
Pity is sworn servant unto love, and
this be sure wherever it begin to make
the way, it lets the master in.
Fear Of punishment and nope of re
ward moves towards and sycophants.
Virtue is independent of either.
The pleasantest things in the world
are pleasant thoughts, and the great
est art in life is to have as many of
them as possible.

The Indians OF Alaska,

The number of aborigines in Alaska,
says letter from that country. is va
riously estimated from 10000 to
$4,000. With regard to those in the
interior there is very meager accurate
knowledge. The obstacles in the wav
of thorough understanding Of the
nature of this portion of the American
possessions and the number and char
acter of the natives, are not great,
either from the cost of outlitting an
exploring party, danger from the ma
tives or any other terrors incident to
such an undertaking. In their handi-
work, especially as exhibited by cary
ings in wood, stone and slate, their
ornaments and shapely canoes, they
display unlooked-for skill. Blank
eted natives, with painted or
hideously besmeared faces, were
to be seen. From a condition offensive
to the nostrils and this scanty mode of
dress there are various stages Of ap-
proach to cleanliness and a civilized
style Of clothing; some, indeed, make
a very presentable appearance. Some
times Indians were observed affection
ately fondling their children, and the
men often carrying their offspring in
their arms with all the apparent pride
of their white brethren. The women
generally do the trading and bargain

TRANSACTIONS When an Indian offers
furs for sale, and the price has been
arranged between him and the pur-
chaser, his kloochman, or squaw, can
veto the transaction, and has to be
consulted before the trade becomes
final. The Indians are never in a
hurry to conclude bargain, those
from distance often remaining at a
trading post for weeks holding out for
a most triaing Advance on the
price offered. They are shrewd
traders, and the amounts agreed
upon for the different kinds of
furs seem very high to an uninitiated
on-looker. The purchasers would lose
