WHEAT GRADES.

The Minnesota Warehouse Commissioners
 Said to Have Reduced the Grades oi
 Wheat in that State--surprise Expressed
 and the Effects Of the Action Discussed
 CHICAGO, Sept. S.---Word has been re. ceived in Chicago that the Minnesota State Warehouse Commissioners had taken the important and ,ts.a z,iisocted step of reducing fl,s, grades of wheat in that State. EoI some days there has been a rumor that No. 1 Northern might be sub- stituted for No hard, onspeculative con. tracts, but no one anticipated the sweep ing changes that have been made. Prac. tical1y the old grade of No. l hard has been wiped out altogether. The old names are retained, but that is about all that is left. Hereafter Nos. hard and Northern will consist of ninety per cent of the old grades and ten per cent. of damaged or frosted wheat; and the mix ture of twenty five or fifty per cent. of frosted stuff is permitted in the lower grades. Several Board of Trade mem bers who were seen expressed great sur- prise at tho action of the commissioners. There was diversity of opinion as to it's effect. One of the most prominent brokers interviewed said the effect of course would be lowering of values as we'll as of grades. To lower the grade in Chicago would affect every market in the coun. try, and foreigners will lose confidence in our grades in consequence of the Min nesota commissioners action. The im- mediate effect will be bad, and he feared that the ultimate effect will be worse. He confessed being big bull on wheat but thought this move would give them a set back. The effect on foreign markets would be worse than at home. Two other heavy brokers did not agree witif these v1ews. They thought the actrohs of the Minnesota commissioners could have lit- tie effect other than tendency to hold the Chicago market little firmer, and have bad effect on Minnesota w.eat.
 dispatch from Minneapolis says:
 stOf the Northwestern markets Duluth is perhaps the only one that will be affected by the new ruling, and the effect there will be to weaken the stiff squeeze that has been in existence there for the last two months. Prices have been kept up at an abnormally high figure, and for no other apparent reason than to squeeze money out of some operators on the short side. Wheat can not be bought at Du luth and sold at profit in any market in the world, nor is there any use for the grain at Duluth. If the admission of frosted wheat into the hard grade will turn enough wheat in that direction to 'break the corner at Duluth, the effect can not be called harmful, except to Q few spectators, while from the Minne- apolis market there will be removed an incubus that has rendered local milling oper ations extremly unsettled"

LOWER BRuLE AGENCY, Dak., Sept. 7.-- The commissioners have not yet done any thing of importance, having devoted the time to preparations for the coming work. Prominent Indians say they are about equally divided now, which is decidedly promising, in the face of the fact that nothing substantial has been done to win friends for the Sioux bill. The outlook for securing signatures ai this agency is decidedly bright aud 1t is expected that three weeks hence com- paratively all tho signatures at Lower Brule and Crow Creek agencies will have been secured in favor of the bill.

Run Down by the United States warship
 Boston.

NEW YORK, Sept S,-Captain Hiram D. Houseman, of Newport, N. J., owner and master of the oyster sloop Tuona, has filed with the Collector of the Port of Perth Amboy protest in which he says that while engaged in dredging for oys- ters at a point two hundred yards off the Southwest Spit buoy in the lower bay at nine o'clock yesterday morning, he was run into by what he supposed was the United States warship Boston, which was then returning from the cruise to test her gun fittings. The steamer carried away the Tuona's bowspri5 and topmast, tore her new mainsail to pieces, knocked overheard shovels and baskets, parted the bobstay and the facing on the gaff, and tore off the lazyjack, the toplift runner and one block on the toplift The damage is esti- mated at $500. Captain Houseman and his crew were busy with their dredges and did not see the steamer until she was right on top of the sloop. It was clear day, and Captain Houseman says he was entirely out of the main channel Be- sides, steamers must keep clear of sailing vessels under the law. Captain House. . man said he was once run into by navy yard tug while lying at dock in New York, and that he never received any pay for the damage done. He is apoor man and can not afford any loss, much less one of a fourth of the value of his sloop, which he suffered yes terday.

Accounts of the storm Which Played
 Havoc with the Whaling Fleet at Point
 Barrow-The Vessels Lost.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-The seamen rescued by the United States cutter Bear from the wrecked whalers in Behring sea, on August 8, describe the storm as something terrific. The vessels were an- chored between Cape Smith and Point Barrow on that day, waiting for the breaking up of the ice so that they could start on whale hunt During the after noon it began to blow from the south- west All of the vessels, with one ex- ception, immediately set sail for the northeast side of the point, some of them anchoring between the shore and a bar located on the east side of Port Moore. On the bar the water is only two or three fathoms deep. The wind increased in violence, and swung around to the north making heavy sea which broke on the bar The first vessel to part her cables was the schoon- CT Jane Grey. She struck an iceberg, which knocked a large hole in her. She sank shortly afterward. When the storm had subsided several efforts were made to raise the vessel, but without success
 The Bear lay at anchor with the other vessels and escaped unharmed. She supplied the vessels with all her spare anchors and chains and rendered all assistance possible. The shipwrecked sailors were transferred at once to the Bear, and she being short of provisions started at once for San Francisco. All of the rescued speak in the highest terms of Captain Healy of the Bear. The three barks which were lost belong in New Bedford. The Young Phoenix and Mary Andrusan were owned by Bartlett & Sons, of that place, and were valued at 5000 and S25,000 re- spectively. The Fleetwing was owned by J. & W. Wing, of New Bedford and valued at S3o, 900. The schooner Jane Grey was owned by Wright, Brown & Co.,, of this city. and the Inc by s. H. Frank & Co. They were valued at S20 900 each.
