The Newfoundland bait act, which
prohibits the export of bait from that
island, has had IA most prejudicial effect
upon the French bank fisheries, the price
of fish bait in St. Pierre having been
forced up to an almost prohibitive price
1t is now stated that three French ships
! instead of going to st. Pierre for bait
fitted themselves out with fiat bottomed
round baskets, with a hole at the top.
These they sunk in seventy to eighty
fathoms, and they were quickly filed
with periwinkles of large size The
shells were smashed on deck and the
travis baited with live periwinkles. Cod
fish took to these most ravenously, and
the vessels sailed for France with full
cargoes the first week in July, instead of
October, as usual, thus saving three
months time and hundreds of dollars in
the purchase of bait. If this report is
true, the discovery will bring about a
revolution in the system under which the
bank fisheries are now carried on.
AT present the bank fishermen can only
fish when they are provided with fresh
bait. This necessitates frequent visits to
some bait procuring coast, the purchase
of bait and OF ice to keep it in good con
dition, and therefore the cost, both in
time and money, of producing bait is
very great. If the bait can be caught on
one side of the ship and the cod ~ the
other, there is nothing to prevent the
fishermen from remaining on the banks
during the whole fishing season, and the
cost Of trip will be materially reduced
As Newfoundland has now almost a mo
nopolyo the bait TRADE, and her bankers
are privileged by law, this discovery will
have a serious effect upon the fishing in
dustry of the island Montreal Witness

was marked down as the opening
price OF December wheat, being 16c

Der opened at $1.141Ia, 114c above Satur-
days close. May opened at $1.20, 1lsc

reaction set in; figures advanced and

to hear from Chicago. By o'clock
prices were $1.14 for December, and
E$l.124 for September, and prices fuc-
tuated around these points, December
fnally closing at $l.1 and September at

\ later report of the opening prices of
December wheat showed that it sold up
as high as $1.18. Different prices pre-
vailed at the same time in the pit.
Wheat was sold at $1.14H and $l.12

stretching out his arms was able to

New YORK, August II. The following
dispatch reached the Associated Press
from San Salvador today. It had no
signature, but doubtless emanated from
an official source:
SAN SALVADOR, August 1.-THE re-
ports published recently in New York
touching revolution in Salvador, were
altogether inaccurate. They were doubt
less based on circumstances con-
nected with the passage of several Saliva
dorian refugees from Nicaragua to Guate-
mala on board the Pacific Mail steamer
City of Panama. Among the refugees
was Loeandro Letona, man who has
been guilty of common crimes and
Against whom criminal charges have
been preferred in San Miguel. The
court demanded that Letona be sur
rendered The captain of the Panama,
in direct violation of the law, refused to
deliver him, but weighed anchor and
sailed away without previous permits
sion from the captain of the port. By
this act he rendered the vessel liable to
the penalty of confscation. Such
was the origin of the false reports
which have been published. Itshould be
borne in mind that the authorities of
Salvador respected the existing treaties,
and made no demand for the surrender
of any OF the other refugees on board
the Panama. 1t is a serious matter that
the government of the United States
should set our interests at defiance,
though justice is manifestly on our side.
Surely then we have fallen on times
when the right of force prevails over the
force of right.

Imperial Authority In China in Danger
of Utter Collapse.
TEN TsIN, August 1.-THE ministers
of the foreign powers have increased the
pressure which has been placed upon
the Chinese government, insisting upon
the punishment of the rioters, and of
the officials who neglected to afford pro-
lection to foreigners and their property.
The foreign ministers do not demand
pecuniary indemnity, having already
settled that with the local authorities.
LONDON, August 1.-THE Standard
says: Should China persist in her pres
ent attitude grave consequences
threaten, and no one can see the issue.
This is what the Chinese secret societies
desire. They hope to involve the gov
ernment with the foreign powers,
and thus distract it, knowing that
if the powers attack China, the empire
will probably collapse and the whole
country will then fall into state OF an
archy which will not be suppressed in
our time. Happily, the European
diplomats understand this condition of
affairs, and knowing how desperately
fragile is the imperial authority in
China, will persuade others to deal with
it in gingerly manner.

connection with the projected CONNER
cial league, but it is now definitely an :
nounced that they were unable to agree,
and decided to definitely postpone the
negotiations. News of the rupture pro-
duced deep impression in political cir
cles in Rome. Switzerland has been
Italy's best customer the last two years.
1t is openly stated that if Switzerland
continues to refuse to grant the conces-
sions demanded by Austria and Ger
many, that the value OF any commercial
arrangements made at Munich between
Austria, Germany and Italy, will be
greatly impaired, US it was understood
the arrangements made at Berne
or Vienna were to form the basis
of the entire scheme. Italy is
a large consumer of German and Aus
trian manufactures, and they naturally
desire to secure her trade, while they
buy but little of Italy. The latter's
willingness to join commercial league
which would injure her best customer
for the benefit of her poorest, mystifies
all outsiders, thought it may be perfect
ly clear to those who are pulling the
wires at the present moment.

Wheat to Be Component Part of the
Germans Rye Bread.
BERLIN, August 17.-Mixed rye and
wheat flour was offered for the first
time on the produce exchange today in
large quantities. The mixture is much
cheaper than rye -four. Feverish activ-
ity prevails in the shipping of rye at all
Russian ports. The German Reichs
bank has decided to lend money on
corn to two-thirds instead OF one
half of its value, in order to
facilitate purchases by small dealers.
The Reichszazeiger says the government
is confident there is sufficient wheat to
take the place of rye, and reduction of
the duties would only enrich foreign
dealers without affecting the price of
bread. The whole government press
reflect these views, and declare that the
high prices are dire to bourse specula-
ton, not to scarcity, and that the ukase
would have been issued sooner had
Germany reduced the grain duties. 1t
is significant, however. that Count
Kanitz, leading protectionist, pleads
for temporary suspension of the duties.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE ex-

business on the local change, and wheat
options have ruled considerably higher.
Local dealers, however, state that as far
as the market here is concerned, that
the freight rate is against any further
advance in wheat, and prices are con-
sidered too high now. Crops are large
and fully million and half tons will
be available for. shipment. Shippers
are well supplied at figures lower than
the speculative quotations. Wheat,
