Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago, Aug. IA decline of cent
per pushel inaugurated the days bust
ness in wheat. September, which
closed yesterday worth S51Ac, started
at from S45sc to SAGE 1t gradually i'm
proved to S5c, and fell off again to
SAGE and for over an hour kept fluc-
tuating between those figures. Deem
Der was somewhat steadier after the
confusion of the opening and narrowed
its discount from September for a
time. The Liverpool market at the
opening was only 1a@5sd higher than it
closed yesterday, which, in comparison
with yesterdays 21ac higher here. was
a great disappointment and its effect
on the market was very apparent. In
addition to the unsatisfactory advance
at Liverpool. the receipts at Chicago
substantially confirmed the increa sed
movement that yesterdays estimates
foreshadowed. The number of cars in
spected into store was 432, compared
with 240 year ago. OF this number,
39S were new wheat The out inspection
was 172, 900 bushels.
Bradstreet's reported an increase of
$50, 900 bushels in the. worlds visible
supply compared with a decrease of
$4,000 bushels the year before. The
market had been holding very steady
between S4% @S5c for September until
the receipt of the report, but became
weak Immediately after. and declined
to sac. New business from the out
side was small, and what there was of
it was chiefly for December delivery.

and held a mass meeting. Yore Wood

Seymour of Haverhill, Mass, made a
speech, demanding that the rights of
those who had paid for tickets and
freight be conserved.
Incidentally, he said that he supposed
that there were those in the crowd who
would like to hang the mayor. His
words had an explosive effect. but he
managed to secure order. and a COM

Silver In a Dollar 4ssl Cents.

New York. Aug. 17.-Silver bullion
seems to find difficulty in touching bot

is approximately 421z cents.

London Finances.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Evening
Posts London financial cablegram
says: The stock markets were dull to-
day, but with an improving tendency
at the close. The prospects of dearer
money depressed consolS and kindred
stocks. Silver securities were weak
with silver. Kaffirs we're much better.
Americans We're weak on realizations,
but the close was firm. 1t is believed
here that the rise in Americans is not
yet near, but the movements may be
less violent in future, traffic receipts
having apparently been SO largely dis
counted. 1t is said in good quarters
that much of the bar gold bought here
some time back when French exchange
was very low, has been borrowed on
at the Bank of France, thus creating a
stock of gold which can be drawn upon
in case of export requirements. The
Paris and Berlin markets were quiet

AMERICAN MINERS.
Serious Hardships Will Hardly Be
Imposed.

Washington, Aug. lit is not be-
lieved by officials of the government
that any serious hardships will be i'm
posed by Canada upon miners in the
klondilSe gold regions. 1t is pointed out
that It would be difficult to enforce any
serious im1ositions upon the miners
Such course might result in retalia
tion enforced by the United States. so
as TO make it almost impossible for the
Canadians to go or return from the
KIondike country. If this country
should prevent Canadian officials from
entering the Klondike through Ameri-
can territory, they would be obliged to
reach the gold country over thousands
OF miles of unexplored country. While
II Is said there has been no correspond
ence bearing indirectly on the point Of
impositions upon the American miners.
there is an animation that Canada de-
sires to be very friendly as to north
western conditions. and that there is
disposition to cooperate so as to fur-
t71er the best interests of all concerned.

UNIFORMITY AGREEMENT.
Admittedly Good, Yet Tt Will Not
Receive Much Support.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-In the opln-
ion of a number of coal operators, the
uniformity agreement, admittedly a
good thing, will not receive the sup
port its articles are said to warrant. a
canvass of operat tors shows that they
are not rushing to the committee with
signed agreements in their hands. In
fact, they are all holding back. and
each one seems waiting to see what the
other fellow intends to do. The uni
formity committee refuses to diVulge
the names of the operators who have
affixed their signatures to the instru-
ment, and inquiry tends to show that
only three firms have made q decisive
step in the matter, and placed their
signatures to the agreement. A num-
Der of coal men stated that they yet
had the question under Amusement, al
though they thought it impossible that
they would sign. Others stated that
they were waiting for the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coal company to sign
the list, and seemed unwilling to have
their names enrolled until President
De Armitt announced that his compa-
ny had actually signed it.
The committee claims to have secured
the signatures Of a number of coal
firms and operators, whose places of
business are out of the city. So far
as can be ascertained, however, the on
ly Pittsburg firms that are enrolled are
those represented by j. j. Steytler, who
has signed for his Pan Handle mine;
Henry Florsheim, who was the first
man to place his name at the foot of
the articles, and David D. Brecken-
ridge of the Eclipse Coal company,
whose mines are at Coal Centre.
