pIe of Seattle GOinG-Every
steamer LOarded.

Seattle. Wash. July 22.-Fred Price, a
Seattle man who has just returned from
the Klondykc with several thousand dol
lars in gold dust. says that there is great
fear of suffering on the part of those
who attempt to 90 into the country with
out an abundant supply of privisions. He
does not believe that the trading COM
panies can begin to supply the demand
which will be made upon them. Price
thinks the men who take up horses to
cross the pass from Dyea will do well.
They can get their provisions easy that
way and sell the horses for dog meat
afterwards.
He also advises new corners to look for
claims on other creeks besides the tribu-
taries of the Klondyke, the latter being
pretty well staked out. Stewart river
creek promises as well as the Klondyke.
He says further that gambling dens
and dance halls have already opened in
Dawson City. Games of every dcscrip-
ton are running, and some of them play
heavily. They go into the mining towns
in sheer desperation at the gloom Of
winter and gamble in Il reckless manner
so as to break the monotony.
Price says it is hard to get along in
Dawson City on less than $50 II day,
and many men spend ten times that
amount lie claims that one saloon

her tying string rope to one of tn.

taken her dress skirt, torn out the lining

tered the cell the rope broke and she
fell to the stone floor, striking her head

Net receipts at all United States
stock Market Review.

New York, July 23.-Bradstreet' re-
view of the stock market will say tomor-
row:
Activity and decided advances have
ruled in speculation. The agreement Of
the conference committee on the tariff bill
and the promised passage of the measure
by the house gave a decided impetus TO
the market early in the week, and the fact
that the action of the senate was still de-
layed was not regarded as seriously en-
dangering the bill Expectations of re-
vived business activity are supplemented
by the influence of the fine crops here and
the expected large demand for our cereals
from Europe. The advance in wheat has
| accordingly been factor in the marked
ascension of speculative confidence, with
| the belief that western railways will enjoy
| period of heavy traffic and large earn
| ings, and thus be able to increase their div
| dends materially. Leading financial in
terests have given support to the Granger
stocks, encouraging similar manifesto
| tons in connection with other parts of the
share list. At the same time there has
been very marked increase in the public
buying of securities. Professional traders
sold stocks early in the week on the idea
that the movement was premature and
had at least temporarily reached cul-
mination The covering of the short in
terest created was effective in aiding the
advances reported later in the week. Lon
don, too, seems to have been influenced
by an unfavorable sentiment toward this
market, and the selling by the local pro-
fessional element resulted in the creation
of considerable foreign short interest
| On Friday European purchases and cover
| ings was feature. Sugar was the chief
! object of attention early in the week. The
/ Changers were the feature of the latter
portion of the week.

been reached between the Katy and Cot

Relt is coming to Dallas at an early date.
