Little Change In Trade.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: The speculative reaction has
not in the least changed the business out
look. The fictitious prices made for
wheat and cotton meant no good except
lor individuals and the change to prices
more nearly in accord with the actual re-
latlons of demand and supply only con-
forms to conditions which have been we'll
known for months.
The Government report as to wheat IN =
dicated a much smaller yield than any
body really expects, but that has become
so much the rule that the report had no
real influence and the principal effect was
the serious depression caused by large
sales IN anticipation of the report, which
seemed to be thoroughly known in ad-
vance to some spectators. While Allan
tic exports for the week were 1858, ,15S
bushels, flour included, against only $685.
539 last year, the comparison is obviously
exceptional and significant, while the re-
celpts at western ports of 2,529 S65 bush
els, against 1,3S6,2So last year, show the
persistency Of the conditions which
ing the whole year. The Government
estimate as to cotton was Unexpectedly
favorable and has caused a decline of
more than half cent in single week +,
but it is only just to say that some reac-
ton from artificial prices would have
come earlier if information much more re-
liable than that of the Government had
not been persistently discredited.
1t is not the time to look. for marked
improvement in industries, and the best
thing that can be said ofIthem is that none
have as yet been seriously disturbed by
threatened labor difficulties. Itseems not
| improbable that all such difficulties may
be averted, except perhaps the contro-
versy about wages of iron puddlers and
tin plate workers. The textile manufac-
turers are making no improvement. The
accum ulation of notion goods continues,
print cloths have declined to the lowest
point ever reached and general stop
page to relieve the market is expected.
The sales of wool in two weeks of June
have been only 5,S2S,5OO pounds against
2,561 ,965 last year, and no gain is ex-
pected in the man ufacture for some time
to come.
| Failures for the week have been 246 in
the United States against 24l last year,
| and q in Canada against "a last year.

PIRATES MILLIONS.
Treasure of Buccaneer Morgan
Said to Have Been Found.


After twenty years spent in organizing
and accompanying expeditions to the un-
inhabited Island Of Cocos, 400 miles south
west of Panama, where he believed he
would find the tens of millions of treas
ure which the great pirate Morgan is said
TO have buried there, Richard w. Arm
strong of San Francisco has now come
east to sue wealthy New York and Boston
men, who, he says, stole the maps from
him and discovered the treasure. He
brought excellent credentials, and has en-
gagged the best legal talent in the city.
While he was sick in San Francisco,
Armstrong says an agent of the eastern
syndicate stole from him the map which
located the pirate treasure. Then the
eastern men fitted out an expedition,
went to Cocos, and found the treasure,
which was worth more than $40, ,O90,0 600.
Neither Armstrong nor his lawyer Will
give the names of the persons they intend
to sue, but say one of them is a promi-
nent merchant in Pearl Street, that city.

OF A GREAT STATE
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF
NEBRASKA.
Governor Holcomb Asked to Inter-
cede in Behalf of the Settlers in
the Matter of Prosecutions for
Fort Randall Timber Stealing.
Appeal to the Governor.

Nine residents of Boyd County, living
near the town OF Gross, have joined in a
complaint to Governor HOlcomb. They
say that during the Grouth period two
years ago large number of Boyd County
citizens went over onto the Fort Randall
reservation in South Dakota and pro-
Cured some fallen timber for fuel.
Within a few weeks United States
marshall appeared in Gross and arrested
nine OF the number and took them to On
aha, where an examination was held and
they were bound over for trial in the fed
eral court. They returned home, the
trip having cost them SIT apiece, and for
which expenses they were obliged TO bOr-
row money from the bank at all eXorbt-
ant rate of interest. Quite number OF
others are now threatened with similar
arrest, and they believe it to he simply
nothing but piece of petty persecution
for the purpose of putting big fees into
the hands of officers of the federal court.
For twenty five years this "tlmbe thief
industry has been proiitably pursued by
attaches of the federal court, with no con-
EictlOnS of any mOment-merely nOml-
nal fine, followed by release. The Gov
ernor is asked to take some steps which
may possibly stop the alleged outrageS.
Gov. Holcomb says he will write to the
judge of the district of South Dakota, but
does not appear TO have any faith in Sc
curing any redress. He will call atten-
ton to the fact that this small quantity of
fuel was taken during a period of great
destitution in Nebraska, when every
nerve was strained to keep body and soul
together among settlers OF new county,
and that the frivolous punishments meted
out plainly in dicate that not only are the
settlers being put TO great expense use
lessly, so far as any pretext of sustaining
the majesty of the law is concerned, but
the Government is severely taxed with no
practical results
