MARKET SUMMARY.

-r<
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-All grain and pro-
vison markets started weak and closed strong
today. The strength Of wheat was limited
to the last thirty minutes, when outside buy
ing started shorts to covering, which caused
a recovery of the early decline and Is to 2c
besides. The action Of corn and oats was
similar, but closing prices were at declines
of A@9sc for corn and 1sc for oats. Pro-
visions were stronger than any OF the grain
markets. closing 71a@171ac advance. Decem-
Der wheat closed yesterday at 92sc, and
opened today at from 91B down to 91Ac.
1t barely touched 92c a second later, and
then began rolling over and over down hill,
until 1t got to Ole, which point it reached
about an hour from the opening. The Liv-
erpool market came in line with the decline
here, showing the following declines in fu-
lures: September, I'D; October, 11ad, and
December, 1%d per Genital. The clearances
Of wheat and -four from both coasts for the
week, as reported by Bradstreet's, were the
heaviest but one in any week in the statiSt1-
cal recollection. They amounted to the great
total of 6,379000 Blu. Beerbohm's cabled that
the worlds shipments for the week to Eu-
rope would probably be found to amount to
10000 blu, but in view Of the heavy Amer
lean shipments the figures are expected to
be considerably. larger. Argentina reported

counts that country is engaged in a vigorous
contest with loeusts to enable it to get
some to ship after January next. Chicago
receipts for the day were 246 cars; Mime
apolis and Duluth got 143 carloads. The
Atlantic port exports for the day equalled
745, 900 blu in wheat and flour, 5S1 600 bu of the
total being in the raw grain. The decline
to Gle satisfied the bear contingent for the
time being, but when they tried to buy in
short wheat at that price they found few
sellers. Minneapolis and st. Louis sent large
buying orders here, the result being
scramble amongst both bulls and those who
were previously bears for the limited offer
ings. Under such a competition the price
rapidly recovered all its previous decline
and shot up to 92%c and it rested at 9212c.
Corn was active. The weeks shipments
were $780, 900 bu. Argentina shipments, moth
ing, compared with 1856 900 blu last year.

THRESHOLD OF GOLD.

Special to the Globe
SKAGUA, Aug. 81, via Seattle, Sept.
1S.-I am writing this on the site of
the future metropolis of the Klondike.
Located, as it is, on the very thresh
old of the home of gold it will become
the San Francisco of these diggings:
the center of the great tide of human
.ity, whose WatchWord is northWard
no.
Today Skagua consists of eleven
frame or log houses and few 'busi
ness buildings of a similar sort, but
year from today I prophesy, and i'll
that prophecy am backed up by every
man of experience here, you will see a
town of 10000 people at least. You
can get an idea of how firm the be
lief in the future of Skagua is when
I say that, if I mentioned 10000 peo-
pie to almost any one here, L would
be looked upon as pessimist, who
should be Stunned.
The cry for weeks has been: ION to
Skagua" Once here the emigrant
feels that he is at least able to emulate
Moses and gaze into the promised
land. A quarter section is the size OF
Skagua, and of the whole fiat of 100
acres there is hardly a vacant place
in which to pitch tent or build a
building Yet the streets are laid out.
We have our Broadway, four miles
long, which runs from the beginning
of the mountains clear through the
town. Upon this thoroughfare are the
majority of the buildings.
Here you can play any sort of "A
game you like, and there is no limit
but the stars above. We have four sa-
looms with gambling attachments, a
crap game of a high order an AL
faro layout, six restaurants, at which
people who have money eat all the
time, and a blacksmith shop. Of
course, there is a real estate man, and,
naturally, a dentist. Five stores con-
stitute the commercial section of the
town, but, while they are small In
comparison with the ordinary build
Ings devoted to mercantile purposes,
the prices charged for the goods are
of sufficient size to command respect.
All this is the nucleus of the future
city of Skagua. Like every frontier
town, it is to pass through almost
all the seven ages of man, so far as
the original is concerned, before that
final evolution, before the bursting OF
the chrysaliS from which energies the
butterfly of prosperity, and gorgeous
creature it will be in this instance,
rich yellow in color, with a powerful
sweep in its method of motion, that
will make older, though not more am
bilious towns, green with envy.
Skagua stands on solid founda-
ton for the simple reason that it's To-
cation makes it. The gateway to a
great region which absolutely requires
a base of supplies at this point, the
commercial instinct that governs the
world would settle on this point
just as naturally as the hon
ey bee settles upon the clover
blossom ! have heard within the
past two weeks not less than a dozen
different men, who have come here
without the slightest symptom of gold
fever in their hard, businesslike era

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The feature OF the
dealings in today's brief session of the stock
exchange was the extraordinary gyrattons
of Consolidated Gas stock. The stock had
been comparatively steady, about 24O, since
its jump of 20 points early in the week. But
it took a violent fall today of over 10 points
from the opening, and jumped up and down
on the recovery like boiling water in a glass
tube. The variations in price on the down
grade were as high as points between con-
secuti' sales, and upon the recovery the
fluctuations jumped over several points at
a time in the most erratic and unstable man
ner. The stock closed at 233, net decline
of 6. Its eccentric movements served to un-
settle the whole market, and discouraged
trading generally. The market sagged some
what. There was an undeTtone Of heaviness
in the speculation all day, whatever strength
was apparent being in spots though not al
ways with special causes to account for. The
indications supplied by the bank statement
that rates for money would rise further in
the future served as a check on speculation
and helped THE decline in the final hour.
