A SLUMP IN TIE PRICE.
September wheat sold Down to o.
Cents In ChlcagO.

Chicago, Aug. 24,-It looked at the
opening Of yesterdays business in wheat,
and for Is minutes after, as if bedlam had
been permanently established on the
board of trade. but the frenzy abated
somewhat at the end of that time. The
Liverpool market again set the pace for
the first dash by opening excited at from
Id to AID per GENITAL higher than it closed
Saturday, equal to from SC to sic per
bushel. That caused traders ON the open
board to pay Sl.O2l per bushel for Sep
TENDER wheat, Before trading commenced
on the regular board, however, the curb
price had dropped to 81. When the
opening bell sounded for the official COM
meneement of the days proceedings there
were hundreds offering to sell September
at from 81 down to 97e. When the agita-
tion had somewhat quoted down, the
fluctuations narrowed considerably and
kept for time within &c of Csc. Ordi-
nary market news, outside of Liverpool
fluctuations, received but scant attention.

Among her passengers were Joseph

The camp Is now quiet. there being not
one fight a month. At st. Michasrs
there were $500 tons OF freight piled up
when we came down. In my opinion
not more than 25 per cent of those
bound for Dawson by the river will ba
able to get there before next year
look for the boats to become bIockaded
by ice, as was the case for eight months
last year
Dinsmore said: There have been no
big clean-ups since the last Of June
and the first Of July. They have had III.
tie rain. This has prevented work be.
ing pushed. I estimate that the Port
land will not bring down more than
S4O0. 900. or possibly 1906. 900. There Is
plenty Of work for all those who get on
the ground this fall at SIS a day. be-
cause holders Of rich claims are desir-
Gus OF getting out gold as fast as nos

Looking for the Portland.
Port Townsend. Wash, Aug. 2s.-The
steamer Portland Is due from st. Mich

on Puget sound has been pressed into
service by various newspapers and the
race from the straits Of Fuca TO the
nearest telegraph station will be ex-
citing. The weather down the straits
Is thick this morning. and the Portland

The latest returns from Tuesdays
election show conclusively that the
Democratic party is very much alive
and that the silver issue is still before
before the American people for set
Element at the polls. The contest in
Ohio, Nebraska, Kentucky and Iowa
were waged on this issue and the re
suit Is most gratifying to the friends
of the white metal.
Nebraska, true to hes gallant
young statesman, rolls up an increas-
ed majority for the silver forces.
Kentucky has repudiated the teach.

Iowa remains in the Repub ican COL

The result in Ohio is in doubt with
the chances favoring the Democrats
The big plurality Of a year ago has
melted away and the indications are
that Mark Hanna is left a corpse on
the political sea.
New York has elected a Demo.

Hairs Of Head Numbered.

1t is interesting to. 9th ers than sta
tisticians to know that hairs Of our
head are numbered. Certain scien-
tific men have laborously calculated
the number of hairs on square inch
Of heads Of different colors. and by
estimating the total area covered have
arrived at aggregate numbers, which
may be taken as fairly correct. To
show the well-intentloned accuracy Of
these calculation, head of fair hair
consists Of $4,000 hairs. Dark hair
is coarser and only totals 10000;
while those who boast poll of red
must be contented with 29.2OO.
1t is estimated that the hairs on q
"fair head" would support the weight
Of 500 people.
