GOLD RECEIPTS FALL OFF.
This IN Spite of the Increased Production
in Colorado.


DENVER, CoLo., May 1.-The Rocky
Mountain News says, editorially, to-day
The gold receipts at the Denver mint have
fallen off heavily in the past month, in
spite OF the increased production. There
has been no increase of receipts at the other
minis and assay offices to account for the
discrepancy. The mystery has been solved.
Shelters have been selling their product to
the agents of the Rothschilds and others
interested in the recent bond sale, instead
of placing it in the mint. The same agents
have been purchasing the larger retorts
sent up from the principal gold mines.
thus keeping a considerable quantity over
and above the smelter product out of the
mint. These facts are vouched for by men
in position to know what is occurring in
the inner circles.

CHEYENNE, WYo., May 1.-G. F.
Choughton, bookkeeper for F. A. Meanea
& Co. of this CITY, started for Denver last
evening, leaving letter to his employers
confessing that he was an embeZzler. A
warrant was sworn out for his arrest and
he was taken into custody upon his ar
rival in Denver. Choughton has been in
the FIRMS employ for the past seven years
and he occupied a prominent position in
society circles in this city. A hasty ex-
animation of his books reveals shortage
of over $4,000. 1t is believed that the en-
bezzlement, which extends over period of
two and half years, will foot up a much
larger sum, probably double the above
amount.

BALLAST FOR SHIPPING.
Neac York Shippers AtCaiting an Increase
Ia the Charters.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 1.-Ship-
brokers at this port seem rather skeptical
concerning the report that the Fair wheat
will be removed to Liverpool direct by
sea. 1t is declared that the charter of iron
hulls to an aggregate OF $4,000 tons is
simply for the transaction of regular bust
ness. Though the rate has risen to 81
shillings for cargoes to Liverpool from San
Francisco, it will have little effect on New
York shipping, as the rates offered will by
no means tempt owners to send their YES
sells around the Horn. 1t is said by some
of the brokers that vessels will leave here
in ballast for San Francisco until the
rate rises to at least 45 shillings or there
abouts.
