THE CHEROKEE CLAIM.
The Indians will Try to Get Several Coun.
ties in Texas if the Courts Will
Give Them Chance.
Special to the azette.


TAHLEQUAH, 1. T., Feb. 21.-The claim of
the Cherokees to over half a million acres
of land in Texas has become a very inter-
esting topic of discussion here for the last
few days. And to strengthen their claim
still other and more valuable documents
than those published in THE GAZETTE re-
Gently have been found, defining the bounds
and metes of the Texas grant and bearing
seal of the republic of Texas and signed by
the president of that country. The instru-
ment is virtually fee simple deed to the
lands claimed and occupied by the Chero-
KEGS before Texas gained her independence
from the Spanish government The docu-
ment cannot be had for the press, but it is
understood will be used at once by the
Cherokees to get action in the United States
courts for a recovery of their claim. The
claim is situated in Cherokee, Anderson
and Rusk counties. The claim will be Wig
orously prosecuted by the Cherokee author
tiles if they are allowed to take it into the
United States courts, and some very inter
esting developments are looked for.

THE MARKETS.
Financial and Commercial.

Prominent foreign exchange brokers ex-
press the opinion that we will not in all
probability ship gold before April next
Bradstreets' reported exported clearances
of wheat and -four last week from both
coasts to be 4, 042. no bushels against 8, 641,-
900 bushels last week.
The four Atlantic ports cleared last week
1884, $50 bushels wheat, 316,600 packages
-four, 4,419.700 bushels corn, 279, 300 bushels
oats. 224, 500 bushels rye.
At the principal markets Saturday wheat
receipts were $4,000 bushels, shipments
1874, 900 bushels; receipts corn 1854, 243
bushels. shipments 794, 400
London bankers ridicule the reports that
have been cabled from New York that gold
is about to be sent there from America.
On the contrary they assert that gold
shipments in the near future are more
likely to be made to the United States than
from New York to that city. 1t is stated
that banking houses in London have
purchased for clients. who are greatly in
terested in the bull side of the New York
market, many bills OF exchange. These
parties will use their bills to break up tho
high prices in the exchange market to such
an extent that there even is likelihood of
big amount of gold being soon exported
to the United States.
