at River Front park is in perfect work
ing order and over 1000 of the unem-
ployed were fed on Friday. Tents were
erected capable of sheltering 800 or more
persons, and they are being used to
lodge part of the INDECENT. During the
day about 600 men were taken out of
the city by the different trains. At one
time the scenes at the union yards in
East Denver and in the vicinity of
Fortieth street were quite exciting.
Here was gathered an immense crowd
waiting for the outgoing trains, aud
when one of them came along d
scramble would be made to get
aboard. The train officials, knowing
how hard it would be TO keep them off,
gracefully submitted and in this way
about 900 persons left town. Before
leaving the crowd entered many of the
neighboring bakeries and stores and
asked for food. No threats were made,
but they got nearly all they wanted.
Passing milk wagons also contributed

Export Movement OF Bresdstuffs and Sc
curities Begun which Can Only Result
in Good to the Country.
New YORK, July 31.-A great deal of
encouragement is to be derived from
the fact that securities and staple
products are now going out from the
country in large quantities and
have already brought about a re-
turn movement of the gold which
Europe has acquired from us during
the last two years. In the opinion of
bankers most competent to judge of the
absolute requirements of Europe and
also of the temper of its investors. an
export movement of breadstuffs
and securities has begun, which is
likely to result in the return to this
country of 1000, 900 or more of the
gold taken from it during the last two
or three years Imports of specie on
Saturday were $3.50, 900, aud it is learned
that 81 $50, 900 more was secured in
London for shipment to this city.
