stock market this morning was again active and
strong, first prices being generally from x to

strength of the market lasted through the
early dealings and most of the list made fur
ther small fractional gains, extending to Is per
cent, put there was considerable irregu-
iarity and the upward movement received
a check before the end Of the first half hour
NO reaction was had, however, and the best
prices were stubbornly held. although loss ami
nation was seen in the latter portion of the
hour. when the list gave evidence of moving
up again. The grangers Atchison, Louisville
and Nashville and Union Pacific were the leading
active stocks, but the business done was large
in all portions Of the list. The trading was re-
markably free from special features and at II
O'Clock the market was active and strong at
the highest prices reached.
The stock market after II O'Clock developed
the most intense activity, accompanied by a
continuation Of the upward movement. and all
the leading shares made material progress to-
ward higher figures, the advances extending to
over per cent in specialties. The highest
prices OF the day were reached all along the
line and the advance was maintained until the
Close, which was very active and decidedly
strong ct the highest prices for the week.

spheres and functions Of national and state
surveys.
5. Cooperation in works Of common interest

geologic work and the sustenance Of an appre-
citation Of its value.
z. The Inauguration of surveys by states not
having such at present to Cooperate with the
other state surveys and with the national
survey.
As an immediate result Of this meeting a
committee OF six was elected to consider rAe
matter OF organization, with the power to

SAN Francisco, August 29.-Census Agent
Petrof has returned from Alaska, having COM
pleted the census of that territory. The fol-
lowing figures closely represent the population
in 1880: Aleuts. $50; Indians, 5000; Esquimaux,
$1,000; Chinese. 1850; whites, 4.S00-total,
$1,000. This is a decrease Of 1000 in ten
years, but as during that time the white and
Chinese popuistion has increased largely this
really represents . decrease of 5000 in native
population. Mr.. PetroH says the natives have
learned the use of liquor from the whalers aud
IL ID killing them OF rapidly. They manufac-
ture for themselves fiery drink ssllsd
