The Daily Vfndicdtor says: ''The so-called
First National Bank party is indirectly respon-
sible for much or the apprehension concerning
the future of the money market, and also for
much of the advance that has taken place in
the rate for call loans. 1t has absorbed ten
millions more or less, of United States bonds,
and is holding them for a rise. This rise can
only come by the Treasury advancing its price,
and Mr.. Window is not as accommodating as
some of his predecessors were, and refuses to
advance the price. Hence these bonds. that
would if not thus absorbed, have found their
way gradually into the Treasury. are held out
of 1t on speculation, and the money market is
deprived of the money they would bring if sold
to the Government The clique holding these
bonds for this purpose deserve to lose money
by the operation, for it Is doing injury to the
financial and mercantile community, and is

Demand is good and prices of hemlock and
common grades of pine are higher than this
time year ago High grades Of white pine,
such as are termed by the trade uppers, are
fully % per thousand lower than last year. The
investment in this line Of goods Is relatively so
much more than in common stuff that many
dealers have grown tired of carrying heavy
loads, and are unloading at low prices. The
floods of the lumber regions are responsible
for the scarcity and high price of hemlock. and
the strong demand for box lumber has stimu-
lated the coarse grades of pine.

The Drygoods Mnrkef.

NEW YORK, August 2.-Business in drygoods
with agents was of a steady character. Con-
siderable improvement, however, might prob
ably have been realized by this time had not
the financial situation become little strained.
But the outlook in distribution improved to-
day. Money was easier. There is no longer
any uneasiness. The jobbing trade showed in
creased activity. Buyers are here from all
sections and that branch of trade was buoyant
The market at first hands was unchanged, and
prices we're very steady.

pain in voiding 1t. with q red brick dust sedi-

fensive sweating OF the feet, pale. sallow, or
waxy shin, pain in different parts of the body
and affected by the weather, burning OF the
hands and feet or on the top of the head, con-
stipated bowels and poor appetite: These

Railroad Line That Train Robbers Had
Better Avoid.

ASHLAND, WIS, August 2s.-Every
passenger train that leaves Ashland, over
the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western
road now carries whole arsenal of revol-
vers and rifles. During the past few days
Superintendent Hartley, of the Lake Shore
road has been making preparations to arm
train men. Over $500 has been expended
in the purchase Of firearms. Every con-
ductor, brakeman and porter carries brace
of big revolvers and in every coach there is
rife within easy reach.
Should the robber again appear on the
Lake Shore road it is likely that he will
meet with warm reception.

OIL FIRM AND FEATURELEss.
Field News Favorable TO the Bulls - The
Short Interest Growing.

Field news favorable to the bull side caused
a firm feeling at the opening of the oil market
yesterday. This was helped along by buying
in Oil City and Bradford. Pittsburg was
light seller. The opening price was 975S. the
highest 9ssss the lowest 975S, and the closing
9S1z-virtualy the highest point of the day.
The market was firm and featureless through
out. Cash and options were about even. Tues
days clearings were 3S4, 600 barrels.
A broker remarked: ''lt looks to me as il the
trade were waiting for a selling movement to
put the market down." The short interest is
said to be considerably larger than it was
month ago. but has probably reached its limit,
as the conditions are unfavorabe to a pro-
nounced expansion in this direction.

THE YANTIC IN A HURRICANE.
How the Steamer Came Near Being
Utterly Wrecked.

The U. S. S. Yantic got up to the Brooklyn
navy yard Saturday. Notwithstanding the
general clearing up which had already been
done, it was easy to see that she had been
through rough experience in the hurricane
of May q. All her boats on the port side, in
Guiding her steam launch, were gone The
forward cutter on the starboard side was
smashed, and her foremost, jibboom and main
and mizzentop masts were gone. Ensign Ash
man was in command of the deck 1T was
close CALL" said he, ''and for an hour
we were on our beam ends with eighty or
ninety tons of water ON the deck and
the wind blowing SO that you couldn't
tell sea from sky. The wind cut the tops of
the waves off and drove them right over u.s.
When the seamen cut the mast away the waves
were breaking 10 feet deep over the forecastle
deck. There was 4 feet of water in the ward
room. The fires were out and we were utterly
helpless. Three barrels of oil were finally
poured out through the forward closets. The
oil had wonderful effect But for it several
of the officers agreed the ship would never
have reached port. Had she gone down there
were but two boats left to hold the 40 persons
on board or her."
The Yantic is leaking now at the rate of
about inches of water an hour, and her cop
per is badly furrowed by the wreckage She
will be put on the dry dock and inspected
Some officers said Saturday that she would
probably never go to sea again.

THE SAMOA CONFERENCE.
secretary Blaine is Having Things His
Own Way-The Business Nearly Ended.

Sir Edward Malet. Mr.. Kasson and Herr Hol-
stein, as a committee of revision, completed
Saturday draft of protocol concerning Sa-
moan questions. 1t contains clauses relating
to the municipal government of Apia. the COAL
ing ports held by the powers, the land commits
sion, and the autonomy of the Samoan govern
ment, the text of which has already been
cabled to Washington and approved by Mr..
Blaine. The remaining clauses defining the
tariff of Samoa, the constitution of the native
government, and the limitation of the German
claims for idemnity from the natives, have
been framed in consonance with instructions
from Mr.. Blaine, who is in daily cable contact
with the commission. Nothing therefore
ought. in the opinion of the delegates, to pre-
vent the winding up of the conference to-mor-
row, when the business is expected to be
limited to the exchange of signature agree
ments.
The success of the commission and the
rapidity with which the business was got
through with was partly due to the conciliatory
attitude of Count Herbert Bismarck and the
impartial policy displayed by Sir Edward
Malet. and largely to the American commits
sioners having definite instructions concerning
every point.
