Summary of the Market,

1t was an eyentless period in a commodity
which a few years ago attracted universal
attention. There was no animation among
the traders. There was some inquiry, but
very little nibbling. The indisposition to
take hold arose from the nearness to the
end of the month and fear OF the Mcdonald
field. Fluctuations for the five days are ap-
pended:

The week in stocks turned out better than
expected. Notwithstanding the interjection
of a holiday, trading was heavy for this mar
ket and the range of properties sufficiently
wide to establish the fact of u growing in
terest in speculation.
While nearly all departments of the list
exhibited an upward tendency, the stocks
making the greatest gains were Philadel-
phia Gas and Duquesne Traction. The
former improved nearly So share and the
latter 81 %. These bulges had a substantial
basis.

WASHINGTON d. c., August IA statement
has been prepared al the treasury a.D.rt.
ment In regard to the amounts of money in
circulation on the LIST of July of The ve.ns
1850, 1855, 1885, 1889. 1881.
ALI the statements furnished m. made
upon precisely the same basis: The amount
OF each kind of money in the treasurv. and
the remaider is given as the amount in circu-
lation. There is nothing omitted from tho
statement which should appear there except
minor coins (nickels and pennies), and they
are left out of all the reports because of
the difficulty in estimating the amount of
them IN use. As the amount at the present
time u certainly greater than in the earlier
years, their omission will not be unfayorably
criticised. The amount of money in circu-
iatlon in 1850 was about $435, GOO, 600 and the
amount per capita was $1385. In 1866 there
was $723,OOO,OO in circulation and the per
capita amount was $20.62. Twenty years
later the circulation was over s., 292, OOO, 900
ana the rer capita was $23.02, while on the
!st OF January last the amount was nearly
$l.62, OOO, 600 with $A.10 as the per capita
allowance, the highest in the history OF the
United States. Owing to shipment of gold
TO foreign countries there has been a decline
since January l, 1891, not only in the per
capita amount but in the total circulation.
On the LIST inst, notwithstanding the outflow
OF gold, the amount was about 81 500, 600, 600
ana the amount per capita was $23.37.

Collision In Fog,


SYRACUSE, N. Y, August IA freight train
on the West Shore railroad broke in two, b.
tween Port Byron and Montezuma. and the
fast passenger train No. dashed into the
rear. Tho brakeman went back toward tho
passenger train, but the night was 50 foggy
that he was not seen.
The fireman of the passenger train was
killed. Ten Italians el route to Niagara
Falls in the smoking car were killed, and
thirty or forty others in the same car in
jured.
The train was burned, except three sleep
ing cars, and it is supposed that nearly all
the passengers were rescued. The injured
were brought to Syracuse and are being cared
for. The trainmen say more killed are in the
wreck. Dense fog prevailed over the Mon
tezuma marshes and enveloped the trains
and tracks. The scene at the wreck is de-
ecribed as terrible.
The passenger tram which ran into the
freight was the st. Louis express which leaves
here at 1:58 q. m. The train was running at
high rate of speed and ran into the freight
three miles west of Port Byron, near what is
known as Duchess Cut.

Famine in India.

LONDON. August 11.-There has been no
rainfall in parts of India lately and all hopes
of averting famine have been abandoned.
The heat is unprecedented. The standing
corn and other crops have suceumbed to the
long drouth and all are withered and burned.
Already the effects of the scarcity of food
are being felt, and there are great sufferings
among the inhabitants of some districts.
Many deaths from starvation are reported.
It is impossible to get food for the cattle, the
pasture lands being destroyed by the drouth
and most of the streams have dried, render
ing it impossible to get water for them.
Horses. cows. donkeys and other live stock
are dying in large numbers everywhere. It
is not only tho poor class of people that are
suffering from a scarcity of food. Many
natives of high caste are making application
to the authorities for food to keep their fam
lilies from starvation.
The district of ChingIeput contains an area
of 2. 257 square mics, and according to the
figures of the latest census obtainable, that
of 1871, has 9sS, 1S4 persons. North Arcott
contains 1850 square miles within its bound
aries and the population is placed at 2,000,-
600 souls.

COLORED POSTS.

The Matter Settled for All Time.
DETROIT, August a-The committee on
the address of the commander-in-chief made
a report on General Veazey's recommends
ton to establish separate departments for
colored veterans.
William Warner, John P. Rea and Lucius
Falrchild, three past commanders, were on
the committee and signed the majority re-
port.
Kansas stood solid against establishing the
color line in the G. A. R., and Kansas dele
gates believe that the question will never
again reappear.
The majority of the committee, all save W.
s. Decker, of Colorado, Joined in opposing
the proposition to draw the color line.
General Warner was the chief defender of
his committees report in the debate.
The majority report was finally over
whelmingly adopted.

Kentucky Election.


LOUISVILLE, KY., August 5.-The demo-
cratic state ticket is elected by majoritiea
from 10000 to 10000.
The new constitution carried with sweep
and the majority for it is placed at anything
from so, 600 to 100,0 900. It has not lost sim
gle county.
The peoples party polled about q, 600 votes.
The alliance devoted itself TO the legisla:
ture, and probably has practical control OF
that body, and So will control the revision OF
the laws under the new constitution. In
only few instances has the alliance put out
candidates in opposition to the democratic
nominees, and it has taken care to control
the democratic nominations, 30 that while
the legislature will be nominally democratic.
it will have strong alliance affiliations and
tendencies. This may make its interpreta-
ton of antitrust and anti corporation and
railroad commission features of the new
constitution very nearly what the alliance
leaders desire.
In several instances where the alliance
made legislative nominations it has won.
The prohibition party had full ticket in
the field, but polled very light vote.

G, A. r, Parade,

DETROIT, August Especial trains BRING
ing state delegations from all parts of the
country poured into the city throughout the
night and early morning of parade day.
Tens of thousands visitors not identified
with the encampment crowded the city.
The parade was one of the most magnifi-
cent ever made by the Grand Army. Most of
the veterans wore new and handsome uni
forms, and there was no end of novel feat
ures. The Philadelphia contingent, nearly
800 strong, carried umbrellas, each one
painted to represen a portion of the battle
of Gettysburg.
Sault Ste. Marie post was also represented
by an umbrella brigade, each umbrella being
SO painted that when combined in the line
they represented Lake Superior and the City
of the 500.
The name of each post along the shores of
.he great lake was painted In red, thus COM
bining the lake, the city and the national
colors. A striking feature of the Michigan
division was the fact that numbers of old
battle flags were carried by the men who
bore them during the war. Still another
umbrella brigade was that of George h.
Thomas Post No. 5, of Chicago.
Their umbrellas were painted to represent
a monster flag of the United States covering
the entire post and extending nearly two
squares. The Ohio division was very large
As each division passed beneath the tri-
umphal arches little girls, appropriately
decked in the national colors, showered the
veterans with boquets. The enthusiasm
which greeted the Second Wisconsin divi-
sion of 700 strong, was unbounded. In the
front rank, borne high in the air on top of a
flag staff, was perched ''Old Abe," the stuffed
eagle which became part of Wisconsin's his
tory twenty-five years ago. Cheer after
cheer arose from the multitude.
The Pennsylvania delegation, 1,5O0 strong,
came next. Pittsburg posts led the delega-
ton. The Ohio delegation was vast army
of itself; no less than Il, 600 volunteers were
in line. An octogeuarian and veteran of the
Mexican and civil wars, was dressed in a
suit made of the patriotic red. white and
blue, then came a score of battle flags, shot
in shreds and tatters. Massachusetts was
$500 strong. Then came forty New Jersey
veterans. One hundred ex-union soldiers
represented the department of Msine. Cali
fornie showed twenty-five strong. Then
came Rhode Island, New Hampshire. with
200 men. Vermont $50 strong. Department
of the Potomac, under command of ]. W.
Pipes, was 500 strong.
In the evening reception was rendered to
the commander-in chief at the Detroit rink,
and also 10 the Sons of Veterans and the
Woman's Relief corps, and one hour later
there was q second reception at Camp Sher-
man.

Report OF the State Board Of Agri-
culture.

Report Of the State Board Of AgrI-
culture.
TOPEKA, August THE crop throughout
the state, with the exception of small areas
on fiat uplands and on bottoms along some
of the streams in several of the eastern coun-
ties, is in tlourishing condition.
The area planted to corn this year is 5, 209,-
05O acres, a decrease of $50 per cent, or
566.641 acres from the area planted last year.
This decrease no doubt having been absorbed
by the largely increased area sown to wheat
during the fall of 1880.
Oats in some of the eastern counties have
suffered from excessive moisture. Weeds
and some rust have lowered the condition in
places, put the damage is reported light.
The greatest draw back to the crop has been
the rank growth of the straw, causing 1t to
lodge badly in localities. Too frequent
showers are making considerable difficulty
in harvesting.
The area sown to oats this year is 1,297, 159
acres, showing an increase over last year of
5.68 per cent, or SO. 788 acres. The estimated
yield per acre for the state is thirty bushels,
making total product of e, 914, TO bushels.
The number of acres seeded to fax this
year as compared with last year shows gain
OF 6S per cent, or IA, 6I acres. The bulk
of this crop is grown in the eastern counties.
Assessors returns show It's acreage during
the last hive years to have increased 16O per
cent.

year of 1856.
