CHICAGO, May 15.-The wheat mar
ket covered new territory to-day, and
prices came slowly down from the
figures of yesterday. The feature OF
the day in the way of news was the
failure of the temperature to drop to
the damage point in Iowa or the North
west last night. On the promise OF an
unusual cold streak the market closed
very firm yesterday. The opening this
morning was steady, but when the
dispatches showed much more favorable
weather than expected there was a gen
eral desire to sell. There was a good
deal of long wheat sold by commission
houses and the scalpers and bears sold
short. The market yielded very readily
under all this pressure. 1t would have
broken even more sharply but for the
attitude of Mr.. Hutchinson. He was
very good buyer at 9215c, and checked
the decline. Still later he sent brokers
into the pit to support the market.
1t was understood that he wired his
patrons to hold on to the wheat he had
bought for them. There was little bull

of the change in winds and tempera-

oats market was quiet and featureless.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
A Few Facts and Pertinent Que.
ries.

A Few Facts and Pertinent Que.
ries.
To the Editor OF the Globe.
The leading argument against the
coinage of silver is the fear that silver
will drive the gold from the country.
This fear is shown to be grOundless by
the present monetary history of the
world. Take for example France-a
nation with over s500.000,000 in silver
coin, with compact territory, having
more than four times as much silver
coin, per capita. as the United States,
whose territory extends from ocean TO
ocean; and the French people are more
prosperous than any other nation or
Europe, and she has accumulated more
gold since she had this vast amount OF
coined silver than any of the nations
using gold as the one money metal, ana
more, in fact, than any other European
nation, until now she has over SSOO, U0U,-
600 in gold.
What would be thought of nation
whose chief production for export was
cotton OF wheat, taking such action as
must necessarily depreciate the value
of her cotton OF wheat III the markets
of the world? Yet this is precisely the
action which the capitalists OF this
country east of the Alieghenies and the
tinanciers of Great Britain are attempt
ing to induce the congress of the United
States to take, this nation producing
more silver than any other nation OF
the earth. Why are the money owners
of this country making this effort TO
prevent the further coinage OF silver!
To make and keep money scarce and
dear, which means depreciation OF the
values of every other class OF property
and production in this c0un-
try. What object has the capitalist
of England. country producing
no silver, in keeping the price OF silver
down? One is, he can buy in the mar
kets of India S1.29 worth OF cotton or
wheat for one ounce OF silver: and ii he
can purchase that ounce of silver for
% cents, he makes the difference. and
can well afford to use one years profit
on the S45.0O0,000 he sends annually to
India, which is over $i2,000,000, in en-
deavoring to prevent the passage by the
congress of the United States of an
honest and just silver bill; such bill
as that would be which would
permit the producer of silver
to take his bullion to the
treasury of the United States and eX-
change it, at it's current value, for GER
tificates payable in lawful money OF the
country. and for each certificate issued
instruct the treasurer, as soon as posi-
BILE. to have the silver coin in the treas
ury to represent an equal number OF
dollars; or, at least, let him not be pei
mitted, with the assistance of British or
American capitalists, to at once draw
the bullion from the treasury again, to
glut the silver market and still farther
depreciate its value. If the silver bull
ion offered to the treasury, and paid for
in such certificates. is coined or com
PEELED to remain in the treasury, the
ratio of values between silver and gold
will soon be the same as it was before
the demonstration Of silver. and 1t
would quickly resume its place in the
currency of all nations.

TO USE THE SHOTGUN.

An Expert Tells How to Handle
This Fayorite Weapon.
Maurice Thompson III New York World.
Let me tell you how to learn to aim a
shotgun. 1t is a very simple thing
when once you have mastered it.
Lift the weapon with both hands, the
right clasping the stock just below the
guard, the left supporting the barrels.
Look with both eyes steadily at the OBJ
iect to be shot at, and at the same time
bring the mid-rib of the barrels straight
under the line of vision of the right
eve. Pull the trigger instantly.
Even after you have learned to con-
troll your nerves you will find it very
hard at first to hit your bird, because
you will forget to aim ahead of it if fly
ing across your line of sight, or above
if rising, or below it it flying down
ward.
In hare shooting it is necessary to
''allow" for running by aiming tritie
above the game when it is running
straight away from yon. This is be-
cause your line of sight is above it as
you stand.
The shotgun requires the very best of
care in order to do good work. 1t must
be Kept perfectly Cl6d1 anu IHuSI always
be loaded to suit its ''habit," as call it.
By this mean that each gun has ca
pacity or quality for shooting certain
load best, and any other load will lessen
its effectiveness. By a little expert
menting you can find out the load that
best suits your piece.
Garry your gun on your shoulder, with
| the muZzle elevated and the hammers
down, save when you are expecting
game to rise, then you may hold it at
"ready." which is as follows: Cock both
barrels, grasp the stock with the right
hand, as in firing, and sustain the
barrels at an upward angle in the left
hand, just i'm front of and across the
breast, the breech-heel a little below the
right elbow. This gives perfect freedom
| of action when the game rises. More
over. it is the safest position in which
to carry the gun both for yourself and
| your companion, if you have any.
Never be in hurry with gun, no
matter what the apparent emergency
1t is the deliberate and cool sportsman
that is quickest and surest. Remember
what is done as habit is done per-
fectly. and all that you have to do to
make crack shot of yourself is to learn
to fire habitually by the most approved
rule.

Which 1t Was Once Noted.
A Bangor, Me-, letter to the New
York Times says: "The Penobscot
river at Bangor. from which 100000
tons of ice will be taken in barges
and vessels to New York the COM
ing summer, has always been
noted for its fishing, and in the
long ago, when salmon, sturgeon, her
ring, Shad, trout, pickerel and smelts
ran it the British came here and fought
for the control of the fishing privileges
as well as for the oak timber which
grew upon its banks, to be used at the

cured it they sunk fleet OF
twenty-one American war vessels,
leaving at the bottom of the river
some 100 cannons, many of which have
been taken out since by United States
dredging machines. For years after
that the slaughter of fish was terrible,
and there are farms upon the river
banks of wonderful fertility, made so
by the thousands of pounds of shad and
herring thrown out from the smaller
brooks and streams, into which they
crowded, by means of pitchforks, and
afterWard spread as fertilizers.
1t is fact, and the times and places
have been described in the ancient local
press, that in many instances shad and
