Wheat opened with a show of
strength, but quickly succumbed under
heavy pressure to sell, and at 80 a.
m. September wheat sold at 55c, as
against SIZE at yesterdays close. The
early strength was quite unexplained,
save the fact that scaiping shorts had
some paper profits on sales of Friday
and wished to realize. The early news
of the morning was demOralizine, mas
much as cables advised of lower prices
for wheat ruled in London, Liverpool
and Paris. The Bradstreet report,
showing falling off of exports of
nearly a million of bushels for the
week, as compared with last week,
had TO be considered. and was pro-
nOunced bearish. The same re-
port indicated that estimates of
the wheat crop would have to be re-
vised and corrected, and that upon re-
vision better condition would be
shown. To accumulate these bearish
conditions New York advised that for
eigners were selling in that market.
Chicago reported very weak market,
caused chiefly by New York houses
selling there, and. last of all, our home
market encountered number of stop
loss orders from outside points. Values
went tumbling down aS consequence.
1t must be SAID, however, that, although
prices receded rapidly, the volume of
trade was of a light order. being con

LONDON, July 30.-During the last
two weeks the late for long discount
has been 2, for short discount d. The
tendency is steadily upwards. IL is I'M
derstoou that 81, 900, 900 of gold will be
shipped within the next two weeks to
the United States, and the belief is
that several millions more will be sent
over before the end of the year. The
settlement last week was the worst one
of recent years. Of the ten failures,
however, but one was important. Two
of the failing firms paid 20 shillings
on the pound. Business has been al
most suspended. The dealings were
confined 10 few investment Sc
curities. Yesterday an easier feeling
as regards the future was noticeable.
Foreign securities have been Steady,and
the Siamese complications have had
little effect OH the market. The Paris
bourSe suffered little from the uncer-
talnty of Slams attitude toward France.

''is the matter OF some system OF regis
tration for voters. Such provision,
we'll guarded that 1t might be proof
against partisan political purposes,
ought to commend itself, especially as
we are working under the Australian
ballot system.
"Again, the matter of salaries, both
as regards Judges and the Governor and
Attorney General, ought to receive atten-
ton. The salaries are much too small,
and as long as they remain as they are,
and this remark applies more particu-
larly to Judges, the men best fitted for
the Offices will hold aloof.
Another matter which invites atten-
tion and criticism is the present judi
cial system. The whole thing needs
overhauling, and in no particular Is this
so necessary as in the matter of JUS
tees Of the Peace. Their jurisdiction
should be limited to say $50, and there
should be no jury trials before Justices.
This evil is great one, and should re-
ceive the most careful consideration.
The idea of electing as Justices men
without any particular qualification for
the position, and then giving into their
hands the power they have at present,
is far from satisfactory one. and leads
to great abuses, particularly through
the temptation to decide in the light OF
the fees rather than by the evidence.
The points have alluded to invite
attention particularly, but should there
be a Constitutional Convention, there
are many other matters which could
well be brought to the attention of the
body"

A Juror Goes Wrong.

In a trial of a cause before Judge
Campbell, yesterday, the jury received
the usual caution that il they had any
personal knowledge of the case, to di-
vulge it in open Court, and not in the
jury room; but. Notwithstanding this,
as soon as the jury retired one OF their
number, who had some personal knowl.
edge OF the facts, brought that knowl'
edge into conflict with the evidence,
and the result was that the jury march
ed back into Court and said they
couldn't agree. When the cause wa:
made known to Judge Campbell, he
gave them little lecture and sent
them back to the jury room again in
short order.
