Immigration Statistics.

The immigration Of people from ireland
TO this country has this year fallen very
far behind that from Italy, OF from Russia
and Poland, or from Germany. and even be-
hind that from Sweden. Who could have
thought a few years ago that the influx Of
Jews would ever be greater than that Of
Irish. or that the number OF Italians com,
ing here at any time would be to that Of
Irish as 1000 to 5000? The changes that
must thus be brought about during a gem
era ton in the elements OF the population Of
the United States may properly form q
subject of speculation for the philosophio
mind. Let the nature OF the changes be
what IL may. this country must ever rec
main the land Of the free-New York Sum

SENATOR TELLER CONFIDENT.

He Says That the Unconditional Re.
peal of the Sherman Law Is ImpOs-
sib1e.
DENVER, Aug. 5.-Senator Teller tele-
graphs the Times from Washington as fol-
lows:
The unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law Is impossible. All claims made by
eastern men opposed to silver that enough
votes would be mustered In the Senate to
repeal the act are not true. Naturally
silver men will not be able, perhaps to
secure the enactment of a law that will
be entirely satisfactory. but they are in a
position to force the opposition to a COM
promise. The situation Is even better than
] anticipated it would be a few days ago.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-There is not much

expectations in that they did not reach
our closing prices by an average of l per

London were in the main to SELL Our mar
ket opened lower all around and on dull
trading declined fractionally. but there was
no enthusiasm displayed by the bears and
the market, after the first few moments,
turned and advanced steadily in every
direction, prices assuming the same buoy

ings until the remarkable and unex-
chill in the street, which was soon re-
Hected In the stock market and values

900 below the legal requirements. This in

baltimore Markets.
Mower County transcript., 1893-11-01

IT is only few weeks ago that all
the leading papers of the Northwest
were in great distress over methods
for obtaining money with which to
move the crops. 1t was anticipated
there would be such stringency that
funds would be entirely inadequate
and that recourse must be had to
clearing house certificates and other
devices ito tide over the stringency.
The fears then entertained by all
have proved needless. There has been
plenty of money and the farmer has
received spot cash for all his produce
as sold. Two things have brought
this favorable result. One is the fact
that the amount of grain to be moved
this season has been very much small
er than common on account of the
deficient crops, and the other is that
there has at no time been a lack of
money for safe and legitimate invest
ments and use. There is nothing
more solid to advance money on than
our great staple agricultural products,
and banks and capitalists have readily
recognized this fact. We are glad for
the agricultural classes that they have
been able to receive ready cash for the
results of their summer toll.
