DULUTH, MIMI. July 10.-Opening prices
were 5sc below closing figures last night at
S15ac August, and sold off to Size, which
was the lowest point of the cay. A good de-
mand existed from shortly after the opening
and sellers ouly offered moderate lines, which
buyers took freely. Holders were inclined to
keep rather above the views OF buyers, which
restricted business, but prices steadily ad-
vanced with most all reports coming in of a
bullish tendency. Our stock here is esti-
mated to show decrease for the week Of
100000 bu. The visible supply question
has not been estimated and cuts no
figure at present in face of the weather re-
ports. Shortly before the close August had
reached s2$4c freely bid without sales, holders
being firm in their views at S3c. Cash wheat
was in moderate demand, selling at S0Lc,
with sales Ito arrive at sic. September
sold at S3Ac, with August at SIC. AT the
close the feeling steady and easier; sellers
Of August at S254@S25sc freely bid. After

Save n "hipwr"rk"d Crew From Starvation
4 Timely Iirscur.

ST. JoWN'S, y. T., November 1.-THE
rrtcrhcad whalcr, Cathlrinc, Captain
licnzIr left port March 18TH on q whale
and seal fishing Nnlag" in Davis Stmits
and Cumberland Gull. The ships compa-
ny numbered twenty-five. The Western
voyage To Cape Farewell WAS one success
sion al terrific gales, with mountainous
sri,. The ship lahorcd much and strain
ei h"hvilv. The months of July and Au-
gust were passed in Nainly cndcavoring 90
reach the oil fields. On September - the
Captain had Ia beach the ship, which was
making water rapidly and fast settling
down. Scarcely was the whaler beached
when she swung over on a scrrated reef,
which pierced her bottom and sides. con-
vcrting her into a complete wreck. The
boats were Immediately lowered and pro-
visions, nautical instruments and clothing
transferred, and with sails set and oars
manned the ~shipwrcckcd crew set out in
the hope of crossing the path OF some Dun
dee or New FOundland whaler.
During ten weary days and nights, with
meager food, 10 fire, no water, only ice,
the Petcrhead whalers went through the
terrible ordeal from exposure to a climate
almost within the ArctIc circle. Crampcd
in their boats and insunicicntly clothed,
they sailed and rowed from New GonwiIe,
where the Catherine was bcachcd, n dis
tance of u miles, till they reached Black
Lead Island. Here there is a statiOn-hous
owned by Williams X Co, Of London. II
il kept by n Russian Finn, named Frelnk
Shearmann, with a German and an Italian
as assistants. The shipwrccked crew were
here treated with the greatest inhumanity.
They were not allowed the shelter Of the
station for themselves, or clOthingr The
Italian cook steathily conveyed Ia them
an occasional biscuit and q cup OF coffee,
and they were forced to quartcr themselves
on the ~h0Spitable ESIuimauX, who shared
with them their miserable toOpcks or wig
vans, their camp fires and their seal Of
walTush flesh.
Fortunately on the 10th Of October the
steamship Eagle, Captain Jackman, hove
in sight, when signals We're made from
the island. The Eagle rapidly bore down
from the north, tOok the Pcterhcad whal-
ers on board, and arrived safely with them
at st. Johns Wednesday. The Eagle was
the last Of the whaling fleet 40 far north,
and had she passed in the night, or in a
dense fog, the whole little colony ON Black
Lead Island, now numbering some fifty
souls, including the Esquimaur, must
have persisted miSerably from starvation,
there being less than two months pro-
visions on hand.
