f. w. Reed tells Us that the Kelly
boys, of Barker, have recently discover
ed a gold lead up Dry Fork, about three
miles from Clendenin, that promises to
be a big thing. Ten pounds of the ore
pulverized and washed yielded $3.50 in
dust. The pay streak is marrow as yet,
but the prospect of a rich mine IS ex-

supply and sensational damage to crop cries,
wheat spectators do not seem able TO make a
bushel Of wheat at Chicago TO be worth r,ore
than soc. Reports OF crops seem to continue to
be favorable from all quarters-those from Eu-
rope especially so. The new crop ID going into
market fast south OF US, and the grain IL reported
TO be Of good quality. Harvesting has COM
menced generally throughout this belt of wheat
lands, and before another week
Is past the new crop win be
offered at this market. Yesterday the writer
was shown 3 splendid sample OF new wheat from
Washington county as bright as new gold, hard
and fall OF gluten. IL weighed fully 81 pou nds
to the bushel, and there was not a defective
berry among IT, IL the sample--taken from three
fields -waz fair sample OF the crop. it Is GER
tsinly the finest crop Of wheat ever grown in this
state. The fine crop prospects are influencing
speculative buying in all the markets. or rather
they are prsDsnttHg speculation, for
no one is now buying at all ex-
cept it il for immediate use. The
reports from England aye that the market is ex-
trenely dull and for imported -four there is alb

water melons in the market. Musk melons have
been more plentiful. Bananas have been for a
day or two out of the market. Butter does not
show much improvement. The better qualities Of

and bacon are very firm and hams dearer.

steady. Poultry is in good demand especially
spring chickens with very light receipts.
