Od1CAGO, may SOiu
Wheat opened with an emphatic enuncia-
tion ofits bullish principles. The generally
prevailing price was soc for July. Some few
sales were made at 1890, simultaneously
with some purchases of SOLc. 1t sold on
curb yesterday afternoon at 1899. The
weakness yesterday had in a great measure
been because of the signal service predictions
OF heavy storms gathering in the far north
west but to-day the absence of rain caused
the strong opening. The foreign markets
were weak and lower. Receipts here and the
northwest were heavy. Soon the market
had tumbled from 8O54c to 79Ac, recovered
again TO So}sc, dropped once more to 1870,
and again recovered to SO1ac. For time it
hung around 1890, but soon dropped again
to a lower point than the previous low point,
touching 79c. Business smaller in vol
ume than on the day before until the last half
hour, but the frequency and character OF the
fluctuations indicate very little abatement in
the nervousness. The cables report Paris and
Berlin lower, but the reports OF crop damage
already done are alarmingly bao, and dis
patches from Nebraska and Kansas report
not winds scorching up what vegetation re-
manned. July was bringing S11sc about iii

head Good progress was made on both
branches of the work. as well as in the
construction of the dam across the mouth
of Little Falls branch. This dam is COM
plete, except short portion near the west
erly end where a driveway was left for the
hauling of stone after the completion of
the excavation at the head of the reservoir.
The work of paving the open channels was
continued, as was also the work of trim
ming, soiling and seeding the slopes of
those channels, of making cutters on the
hilisides above them to prevent the erosion
of the banks by storms, of removing trees
and brush from the part Of the valley of
Mill creek above it's dam that will be
flooded by the dam, and of hauling and
burning the large quantity of brush from
the trees removed from the sites of the
open channels.
Oak piles were cut and preparations were
made for the construction of two perma
nent wagon bridges, necessltated by chang
ing the courses of Mill and East creeks.
These bridges will be constructed near the
west portal of the tunnel, through the hill

PROGRES SlVE JAPAN
She Will Use Ohina's Indemnity to Improve
Her Navy.

ing a Lively Interest in Orien-

1t is the belief among officials here that
Japan will use largeJpartsof the war in
demnity which China Isl to pay her for the
purpose of materially ipcrefsing her navy.
The financial resourcea aof1 Japan will be
very abundant during the. coming year, as
she will receive oversiSIOSOOO, 600 before
next May, and thereafter about $50 OOo, 900
a year for five years. This will be drawn
entirely from China, ard will be in addi-
ton to- Japa1's' usual ifecetpts from GUS
toms and internal revenueo The customs
receipts promise to bejvery large, as the
new treaties which Japeh has effected with
leading nations will BRING about read
justment of tariff dutfes, ESQ that much
greater returns will be realized.
American ShipbniIders Alert.
1t Is owing to -his assurance of an ample
treasury that American shipbuilding firms
have turned their attention tow srd Japan.
The authorities there have already indicat-
ed their purpose Of usrg considerable
part of the funds on new ships. A Japa-
Eese naval expert visited here some time
since, and went to the various American
yards MIR. Kurino, the minister, also
visited the Cramp yards. It was due to the
minister's reports es to the excellence of
American shipbuilding that the naval eX-
pert was sent from Japen. AS result of
the talks, there seemed little doubt that one
or more large ships would be ordered by
Japan. The government was certainly dis
posed that way, and 1t is believed that If
delay has occurred insclosing the contract
1t must be due TO the conditions imposed
by the American builders.
Western Yards VIII Get a Share.
The shipyards at San Francisco are at

snese naval authorities as those in the

cisco, built by the Union iron works at

at the recent naval review at Kiel, and
gave further evidence tc naval experts of

CHlLE'S EX A M P L E
Other South American Republics Are Ex-
pected to Follow It.
Their General Adoption of a Gold
Basis Regarded AS an EARLY
Possibility.

The action of Chile in going to a gold
basis Is likely to be followed my similar ac-
ton on the part of other South American
countries. Gen. Rengifo, the representative
of Colombia in the United States, says the
tendencies in his country are in that direc-
ton, and that gold basis undoubtedly will
be realized within the next four years. and
perhaps before.
."At present." said he, I'VE have a paper
currency. which answers every purpose Of
local exchange and commerce. But there
Is no gold or silver behind it, and neither
of the metals are in use, except at Panama,
where 1T has become a custom to carry on
transactions in silver. Practically, how
ever, we have nothing but paper. About
$5OO0.0O0 Of gold is produced from Colom-
bian mines every year. but as the balance
of trade is against us, this product is speed
lily drawn out of the country in payment
therefore, to attempt a gold basis until We
can reverse the balance Of trade SO that
our gold will remain at home as basis for
a gold circulation. There Is every indica-
increased exports of coffee. The trade is
increasing enormously. and promises TO Off
set the loss of gold from imports.
Colombian Currency Satisfactory.
"Our paper currency is very satisfactory"
continued Gen. Rengifo. although we
have just passed through rebellion, the
paper is worth much more than that of
some of the strongest South American
countries. For instance, the Argentine Re-
public has paper money exactly the same
as ours, yet it takes 81 Of Argentine money
to make 81 of the United States money,
while it takes only $3.50 of Colombian pa
per money to make an American dollar.
1.-THE Colombian money is made of con-
venient denominations, with fractional cur
rency down to the 20-cent 'shnplaster'
ard small coins of nickel. Altogether,
therefore. Colombia suffers no hardship
from having neither metals, gold nor sill
yer, in her currency. The depreciation
of the paper is natural, following the recent
rebellion, for the paper currency Of the
United States was at a considerable dis
count following the civil war;
Peculinrity of Chilean Money.
1t Is a curious fact brought out by the
recent action of Chile in going to gold
basis that the intrinsic value of her new
gold coins is only about one-half of the
value stamped on their face. For instance,
the standard S. gold coin has in it onlys2 so
of gold The effect Is somewhat like pa
per currency, except that the money is on
a nominal gold basis, although one-half of
1t is on the faith of the government.
