Chicago, Sept. 3-Wneat started
weak The opening prices at Liverpool
were at decline of 124d. and the start
here was in accordance With the bear
ishness denoted at the English market.
December was offered at the opening
at from SO to 931s cents or l to 1h
cents under Yesterdays close. The bulk
of the first transactions were at from
$685. to 931a and fluctuations were close
around the opening figures for three
or four minutes. Following that for
half an hour there was a gradual i'm
provement until 94ss cents, or within "a
cent of yesterdays closing price was
reached. A dispatch from New York
reporting 10000 bushels of wheat taken
for export yesterday afternoon was
given as the reason for the firmness
shown in the recovery. The very slight
addition to the contract wheat here out
of the 27S cars inspected into store
since yesterday morning was perhaps
in the minds OF spectators. Only six
cars were contract and of these five
were No. 2 spring, a grade that cannot
be delivered on contracts made today

in that day that the foreign demand

CHINESE ENRAGED.
Ruling By New Collector Does
Not Suit Them.

Port Townsend, wash, Sept. 3.-F. D.
Huestis, the new customs collector for
Puget Sound district. who took office
Two days ago, has made a new ruling
IN the matter OF admitting Chinese Ia
borers. He has refused admittance to
seven Chinese who arrived from Vic
toria, B. c., on the ground that they
had departed from other ports when
leaving this country. Collector Huestis'
return to the former rule has called
forth storm OF protests from inter-
ested Chinese residents of the Pacific
coast. The action of the new collec-
tor will probably decrease the whole
sale entering of Chinese through this
port, as nearly LOO have entered here
during the past six months.
