SCARE AT NEW YORK.
Overloaded Bulls Dumped Their stock
on the Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.--The disastrous re-
suIt OF operations by eleventh-hour ! ulls
was demonstrated in the action Of the
wheat market to-day. Failing to secure the
necessary assortment of bull news these
belated holders punctured the bull bubble
and prices fell with a crash TO a point over
3 cents a bushel below the top notch for
the year. At the outset, although signs
of collapse were manifest in The unoer-
tain wavering of prices and freedom OF
offerings, the bull lea1ers endeavored 10 ar
rest the threatened deluge by pointing out
the comparative steadiness of Liverpool
quotations and the frosty weather condi-
tions in the Northwest. For a time those
influences had some effect but the market

Indorse Ratchford's Letter.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. A.-The miners ex-
ecutive board met here to-day to hear the
report of the vote of the various locals of
the county to the Endorsement of Presi-
dent Ratchford's letter, advising the strik-
ers to allow operators to have sufficient
men to keep their mines in repair and mine
sufficient coal to keep the water works and
olectrlc-light plants in operation. Notwith-
standing considerable opposition the letter
was indorsed by a majority vote and the
first resolution adopted at the outset of the
strike to allow no coal mined was repealed
The miners are to work alternately in the
mines, and every man who is permitted to
work must show credentials from the local
officers.
The number of dependent miners is re-
ported to be 1901. Sufficient funds have
been received from the state committee and
other sources to furnish the needy food at
the ratio of six cents per head, which will
be distributed tomorrow. This is consid-
cradle more than they have been receiving
for the past few weeks, but the strikers
are greatly elated.

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 24.-The strik-
ers suffered further losses in the Kanawha
valley in the upper Laup creek region and
along New river to-day. New river mines
loaded six hundred cars of coal yesterday
which is big days work for normal con-
ditions. In Kanawha 200 more men went to
work to-day. which leaves very few men
out. Fairmont increased it's output and the
Norfolk & Western region shows no sign
of a strike. The danger of a coal famine
in the Wheeling district has been greatly
reduced by the pcddlng miners over in
eastern Ohio going to work, this being their
usual market. The strike at Corinth has
caused the loss of one million brick that

corning possible foods in our Western

phone & Telegraph Company. 70 Post
IntelIigencer reporter last night. AS
you know, several OF our lines are de-
pendent on the condition OF the Snoho-
mfsh Stilia guauish and Skagft. I have
received hourly bulletins today, and am
glad 20 say that / have good reason 20
believe thar no such food as we had last
November will visit US this year. The
only thing which could possibly bring
about a food row would be heavy con-
fusnce of overfiows from the Skagit and
the S,iIIaguamish az the same time; and
this seems hardly possible.
"A message from Everett this afternoon
tells me that. while the water has risen
considerably. II Is now at standstiil.
"At noon a message from Silyana stated:
Rivers were up quite high last night, but
have fallen about four feet this morning.
and are stili falling This was followed
al As this afternoon by d message from
the same place: The river is falling at
the rate Of six inches an hour. There Is
no danger of its rising any more till we
have another freshet.'
Equally cheering Is the report from
Everett AT go this afternoon a mes
sage TO me from that point said. River
rose rapidly last night. but has not risen
over few inches this morning. and at
4:35 this afternoon. The river has fallen
about four inches"
Some damage was done by the rapid
rise In the Stillaguamish on Thursday
evening. A special dispatch to the POST
Inteiiigencer yesterday from Arlington
says: "A telegram was received from
Joseph Ferguson, who is at Stanwood,
stating that the sheer boom which closes
the passageway for steamboats, had
broken and that the logs had gone TO Sea-

son are probably the heaviest losers, as
It was principally their logs which Were
running last night, their camps being
farther up the river"
In many localities the loggers and lum-
bermen. warned by the sad experience of
last fall, are taking precautions against
the threatened rush of waters. A special

Lake Cushman says:
''Mr. Putnam has crew OF men cut
ting out jams In the river, 10 provide
against loss by food, and Mr.. Fred Han
son Is also at work on the jams on the
river on his place. Much damage has
been done by the river In the past few
years and the settlers are taking every
pfecaution to avoid repetition Of it."
