here are gold obligations and it is reasoned
that the more silver falls in value the more
people will invest in gold securities.

"The blue jay" says bird sharp, "is
the most persistent practical joker In the
feathered kingdom. He will conceal
himself in clump OF leaves near the
spot where small birds are accustomed
to gather, and when they are enjoying
themselves in their own fashion. will
suddenly brighten them almost to death
by screaming out like a hawk. OF
course they scatter in every direction,
and when they do so the mischievous
rascal gives vent to cackle that sounds
very much like laugh. II he confined
his pranks to such jokes as this, however,
he would not be such bad neighbor to
birds smaller than himself, but when he
amuses himself by breaking the eggs in
their nests and tearing the young to
pieces with his bill, he becomes pestl-
lent nuisance and they often combine
their forces to drive him out of the
neighborhood. They do not always
succeed, for he is as full Of fight as Of
mischief, but severe conflict teaches
him that they too have their rights, and
thus induces him to mend his manners"

loss OF life and destroyed property OF

DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT
ON THE CONDITION AND PROS
PEcrs OF TRADE.

r. G. Dun's weekly review Of trade
saws: Later advices from the west
premise rather better crop of wheat
and corn, and the cotton prospects are
little better, though neither Yield
will approach that of last year. With
abundant supplies brought over, the
outlook is SO good that business dis
tinctly improves and the prospects for
fall trade are everywhere considered
bright. The great strikes III New
York, Pennsylvania and Tenne ssee
appear to have scarcely any appre cia-
BILE effect upon business as yet, and
though the interruption of traffic Is
threatened on many important rail-
roads, stocks are generally steady
or strong, closing but a small
fraction lower than a week
ago. In cotton further de-
cline of 1-16c has occurred and sales
have been $685. 900 bales, the actual
movement of this season being insig-
niticant, while the crop prospects,
with heavy stocks on hand, tend to
depress prices.
Last week the quantity which has
come into sight for the crop year rose
above 100000 and the stock of
American here and abroad are over
1880, 900 bales.
Orders for dress goods from the
west are large and cotton jobbers have
no difficulty in selling the whole pro-
duction, higher prices FOR bleached
goods being expected. The boot and
shoe shops are being pressed by the
jobbers and trade Is healthy, though
profits are small. Wool is fairly
active and firm and the outlook rosy.
Iron is steadier at Philadelphia and
finished products are improving, trade
in hardware being fair and exceeding
last years. AT Baltimore the receipts
of fruits ana vegetables are not equal
to the demands of the packers, and
manufacturers of clothing are busy.
The iron mills at Plttsburg will also
resume, but the present shipments of
coke are the smallest for some time,
and business in window glass is not
very active. Improvement is also
seen with brighter prospects at Little
Rock and Nashville, and while trade
is quiet at New Orleans, sugar is
strong and active, but the receipts of
rice are light, the crops having been
damaged by rain. The sales of wool
at the three largest markets since the
middle of May have been 81, 900, 900
pounds, against 70, 800, 900 last year.
The production of boots and shoes
are now estimated at 1855, 900, 900 pairs,
and eastern shipments last week were
10000 cases more than week ago.

-Four Hundered Mon Arrested.

A special from Chattanooga, Tenn,
saws: The smoke has rolled away
from Coal Creeks battle ground, and
General Carnes holds the situation at
Camp Anderson. The general has had
four hundred arrests made and will
have them prosecuted. The arrested
miners are closely guarded In box
cars. General Carnes is now of the
opinion that the entire matter is ended.
and it is expected that his troops Win
return tonight. Sixty indictments
were returned against the Inman
rioters, and 1t is probable that the sob
diers will. be sent into Marion county
tonight to arrest the outlaws, the
sheriff having refused to do SO.
Matters are becoming settled and
more quiet here and the Excitement Is
beginning to die out. The list of
soldiers killed and wounded during
the engagement yesterday is as follows.
The killed: Frank Smith, Whiteside
Rifles posse; Rush Givens, Knoxville
citizens posse; S. L. Waterman.
Memphis troops. The wounded: L.
L. Mccarthy, James Milton, Hugh
Michaels. Several others were slightly
scratched, but not seriously hurt.
A special from Clinton, Tenn,
says there is general feeling Of re-
lief throughout this section over what
is now believed to be the end of the
war.
The miners at Coal Greek have sur
rendered and General Carnes is In
possession of the town.
Early yesterday morning General
Carnes sent in flag demanding the
unconditional surrender of the miners
and the immediate restoration of
Colonel Anderson to him. The miners
who were growing short of ammuni-
| ton, asked until O'Clock to consider
| the proposition. This was granted,
and at the hour named another mes
sage came asking until O'Clock.
| General Carnes at first refused to
grant further time, but finally yielded.
AT o'clock a delegation of miners
came over to tell General Carnes that
they would surrender, and began
naming conditions, but were cut
short. 81 will listen to no terms,o
said the commander, "but must have
| an unconditional surrender"
| The miners retired, and shortly re-
turned, bringing with them Colonel
Anderson, whe embraced his old COM
rade who had come to his rescue.
The miners were allowed to dis
perse, but the general deemed it inn
| prudent to go into town imme diately,
so kept his position at Camp Carnes.

at $3.50. California had over half
OF these wells, which watered 3s,37s
acres of land. Utah comes second I'm
