of 450,00000O bushels makes $4,000, 600.
And at least 2O0, 600 900 bushels of this
Wheat are now owned by and in the hands
OF American farmers. Thus in less than
sixty days wheat has made for its pro-
ducers about $40, 000, 600.
During the same period silver has de-
clined cents an ounce, from 6S TO 66
cents. The alleged kinship of prices for
wheat and silver is disproved. Wheat is
divorced from silver on the lawful ground
that the relation of supply co demand is
the sole regulator of values, and Bryan
and Watson and Sewall are made core
spondentS because of their scandalous as
sertions. IF it be dishonest in dollar to
rise in its power to purchase wheat. is 1T
not equally dishonest for wheat to rise in
its power to purchase dollars? 2"
LONDON, ENG, Oct. 22.-The Daily
News in its market review tomorrow
will say that the exaggerated views regard
ing wheat, which prevailed Monday, are
giving place to more reasonable ideas.
The position is serious. but not hopeless.
The sellers of Russian wheat still show q
great reserve, but there is a question
whether the Black Sea shippers are not
playing into the hands of the Americans
by holding their stocks. The Russian
crop is certainly smaller than that of 1895,
but there has not failed to be a material
surplus for expectation. The chief diff
Guilty is scarcity of tonnage, which.in
less than three months has trebled freights
from the Black Sea. The weakest point
in Great Britain is the lowness of stocks.

CHANGES IN CUSTOMS RATES.
Ii Hung Chang Desires That China Be
Paid in Gold.

w WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 22.-Li
Hung Chang, when he visited Washing
ton, conferred with Secretary Carlisle as
10 certain changes contemplated in the
Chineee customs rates. As Secretary
Oliey was not in the city at the time the
Chinese EN- bassador left with the Chi
nese legation here memorandum !,
printed in English, in which the changes
are set forth.
The changes make the duties payable in
gold or its equivalent instead of silver
taeis. Ii Hung Chang stated that silver
taels were authorized to be used in Tao
Kwang's time and continued without
change until the dynasty of Hen Fung.
Since then the value OF silver has declined,
he says, and in justice to China, which
has now esta ablished International rela-
tlons, "both the necessities OF the day and
consideration of what is fair and right de-
mand that the original value of the GUS
toms tael be recommended and that the
value OF silver at which China consented
to collect duties, viz: three taels to the
pound, be observed and adhered to-"

STRANGE LOSS or A SCHOONER.
after the Captain and Cresc Went ashore
the Yesael DisnnDenred.

MENOMINEE. MICH, Oct. 22.-Captain
Edward Mccoy, who arrived here yester-
day, told most peculiar tale of losing his
schooner. He commanded the schooner
Emily Taylor, which was bound from Es-
canada TO Chicago, and on Sunday the
trouble commenced by the steering gear
giving out. The anchor was let 90 off
Washington harbor and the captain and
crew went ashore to get tug, leaving the
vessel riding at her anchor.
On Monday when they returned to the
spot no vessel was in sight. The captain
thinks her anchor cables parted in the
heavy southeaster on Monday and that
she foundered. The Taylor was owned by
ii. Johnson of Two Creeks, Wis. and
measured fifty five tons.

French Drum Clock.

AS is known, there is q small French
clock, inclosed in a brass cylindrical case
called the drum clock. Its chief distin-
gushing feature is that it never goes for
any length of time. The escapement is a
continued source of trouble to clock re
pairers. 1t receives impulse at every other
vibration only The clocks have going
barrels and the idea of the escapement APP
pears to be that by providing long fric-
tional rest at one of the pallets, the extra
pressure Of the scape wheel tooth when the
handspring is fully wound will be suffl-
Gent to prevent any considerable increase
in the arc of vibration of the pendulum.
But the clocks often stop from deficiency
of power when the spring is nearly down
and stop when they are fully wound, be-
cause the small and light pendulum has
not energy enough to unlock the pallet
The best that can be done is to alter the
resting pallet to a straight form and see
that the wheel teeth and pallets are we'll
polished. -Jewelers' Circular.

Mill Burns at Carter's Creek.

Last Saturday night about II
o'clock, fire broke out in the corn
and wheat mill of Mr.. Geo. W..
Nichols, at Carriers Creek. The
mill, with all its contents, was
burned. The fire is supposed to have
originated from spontaneous COM
bustion. The mill was valued at
$500, and the stock, including
wheat, corn, flour, meal, barrels,
sacks, etc, at $4,000; aggregating
$1,000. Insurance was carried on
the property as follows: Millers'
National, Chicago, $4,000; Guardian,
Memphis, $500; Royal, New York,
$4,000. A number of outside parties
had wheat deposited in the mill,
and Mr.. Nichols, though not respon-
sible, will make good their loss.
Mr.. Nichols many friends sympa-
thize with him in his loss, and hope
that he will soon have his new mill
up and in operation.

damned Fingers.

Few people have escaped damned fin
gers, and as the pain caused when the fin
ger is damned in a door is cxcruciating in
the extreme for the first few minutes it is
well to know of some means of relief. The
finger should be plunged into water as hot
as can possibly be borne. This application
of hot water causes the nail to expand and
soften, and the blood pouring out beneath
it has more room to flow. Thus the pain
is lessened The finger should then be
wrapped in bread and water poultice. A
jammed finger should never be neglected,
as it may lead to modification of the bone
if it has been badly crushed, and amputa-
ton of the finger must follow. damned
toes are usually caused through the falling
of heavy weights and should be treated In
the same way as jammed finger. NEW
