THEAT MARKET IN Il WHIRL.
A Rush to Sell and Demand to Maintain
Prices Cause Sensational Fluctuations.

New York, Aug 23.-There was a
lively season of general unloading by
all classes of traders in the wheat pit
to-day which resulted in net break
of two cents bushel from Saturdays
official close and about four cents from
the best curb price Of Saturday. Trans
actions in the aggregate ran up to A.,
OOOO bushels, and yet trading at times
was dull to the point of stagnation.
The heaviest selling was right at the
opening, when foreign houses joined in
heavily and again near the close. EX-
cept for brief period Of strength fol-
lowing Immediately after the opening
irregularity, the market showed posi-
tive heaviness all day,
Many traders on the curb and even
right at the opening, blinded by their
bull enthusiasm and the Az d. advance
in Liverpool futures, took on more
wheat expecting a continuation of re-
cent exciting bull conditions, but were
speedily turned into heavy sellers by
the unlocked for attitude of the foreign
element whose offerings fairly swamp
6u the UldEheI IOl d hiiiic.
the first half hour the pit was as ner-
vous and excited as at any time in the
present movement.
The large blocks of long wheat
thrown into the market meeting coun-
ter buying by enthusiastic bulls, kept
prices in a perfect whirl, frequently
jumping spaces of " cent between
sales. To make matters worse quota
tions coming in from Chicago showed
that market to be wildly excited on
see-saw jumps of cent a bushel.
The first trade in December here was
made at s104; 1t then dropped sharply
to 1.01A, rushed back to 1.04A and then
settling down to 1,02, hung around that
figure until near the close, when it fell
| to 10t1a. September ranged from LOS

MAYOR's CAslNET MEETS.
Methods of Improving the Work of Mu-
nicipal Departments Discussed.

Methods of Improving the Work of Mu-
nicipal Departments Discussed.
The regular monthly meeting of the
heads of the various departments un-
der the city government, forming the
mayors cabinet, was held in the may
or's office in the city hall last evening.
The workings of various departments
were informally discussed and also va
rious ways in which certain depart
ments could work together.
Mayor Farnsworth stated last even
ing that no recommendations to the
common council in regard to finances
had been decided upon at the meeting,
but that all the gentlemen present ex-
pressed themselves as in accord with
him in regard to the proper source
from which to take the money required
for current expenses of the city govern
ment. He said that the gentlemen all
thought that his action in vetoing the
resolutions which passed the common
council was the proper action to take
under the circumstances, and that they
had expressed hope that the common
council would finally pass favorably on
his recommendation.
The mayor also said that last nights
meeting had demonstrated that the pro-
vision of the new charter requiring that
monthly meetings of the heads of the
departments be held was a wise one.
In these meetings ways in which one
| department can assist another are dis
cussed, and the various lines of city
government are therby enabled to be
carried along smoothly, with no clash
ing of departments.

THE AMEER DENIES IT,
Says None of His Subjects Has Joined the
Afghans-Status of thr Uprising.


London, Aug. PA dispatch from
Simla says: 1.-THE official communique
was issued tonight (Monday).
"The ameer has promptly replied to
the letter in which the Indian govern
ment called to his attention that his
subjects had Joined the Afghans. He
denies that such is the case. He at
tributes the disturbances to the actions
of Mullalic, who in former years ex-
cited his people to revolution.
This is a most important pronounce
ment and if published broadcast on the
frontier may have a great effect upon
the tribesmen.
General Files will endeavor to in
duce the Afridas to leave the hills and
venture into the open, but it is feared
that they will cling to the hills"
London, Aug. PA special dispatch
from Simla says that the belief prevails
there that the government in the official
communique has refused the ameer's
reply owing to difference of opinion
between Lord Elgin, the viceroy, and
the military authorities Lord Elgin
desires to act cautiously and the mill
tary authorities desire that he act
quickly.
Curiously enough, the Paris Memorial
Diplomatique, which is supposed to
have connections with Russian diplo-
macy, announces in its Sunday issue
that the ameer was preparing for the
eventuality of war in any case

AHUC1srER IN TROUBLE.
Charles Mccarthy of Lowell Held on Sus-
picion of Having Stolen a Horse.


picion of Having Stolen a Horse.
Charles Mccarthy, a vegetable ped
dler, who said that his home was in
Lowell, Mass, was locked up at police
headquarters last night and is held on
suspicion of having stolen horse in
Lowell. Mccarthy has been in town
but few days and has driven, attach
ed to his peddling wagon, a horse that
has seen better days and not enough
oats. Mccarthy goes from one town or
city to another, stopping only a short
time in each place, and wherever he
decides to locate for few days he
buys stock of vegetables and peddles
them out. While in New Haven he has
kept his horse at Nesbit's stables on
Temple street.
Mccarthy has rival in his business.
or rather firm of rivals, consisting of
Thomas Stanley and John j. O'Brien.
both of whom also hail from Lowell.
These two men called at police head
quarters early last evening and O'Brien
stated to Sergeant Cook at the desk
that the horse being driven by McCar-
thy had been stolen from O'Briens un-
Gle, Mr.. Mahon, who lives in Lowell.
O'Brien said that his uncle was a men,
bre of the board of health of Lowell and
conducted huckster business in that
city. He said that Mccarthy worked
for his uncle, driving wagon, his route
being within radius of ten or twelve
miles of Lowell. About three months
ago, according to O'Brien's story, Nc
Carthy disappeared with the horse and
wagon. O'Brien said that his uncle
had requested him to keep a lookout
for Mccarthy on his travels and if he
saw him to have him detained and tele-
graph to Lowell.
Two men who worked on the wagon
for Mccarthy heard that he had been
complained of to the police and wanted
about $15 of pay, which was due them
before Mccarthy got into trouble. Nc
Carthy refused to pay up and Constable
Shields placed an attachment on the
rig in favor of the two men. McCar-
thy then paid the money and raised the
attachment He was Just hitching up
preparatory to leaving town, when he
was arrested by Detective Donnelly on
the complaint which had been lodged at
headquarters.
At the police office Mccarthy said
that he owned the horse and wagon.
and that he knew no one in Lowell by
the name of Mahon. He had consid-
cradle sum of money on his person and
offered to leave $50 as security for his
appearance this morning. He was,
however, locked up, but if no informa-
tion is received by this morning from
Lowell warranting his detention he will
be allowed to go.

A FINE OF 1000.
A. w. Faber, the Pencil Manufacturer,
Must Paw it for Violating Tariff Laws.

New York Aug. 29.-One of the heav-
lest penalties enacted for a commercial
house by the United States for violation
of the tariff laws has been imposed up
on the firm of A. w. Faber, the noted
lead pencil manufacturer, whose head
quarters are in Germany. For twenty
years the firm has been importing goods
at the same valuation. Recently the
treasury agents began an investiga-
ton which resulted in the decision that
for twenty years Faber's pencils had
been coming into this country at prices
much lower than their real value. The
firm was accordingly fined $4,000. The
greater part of this sum was paid into
the treasury last week.

IT Is ILLICIT BRANDY,
Ruling by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury in the Tenney


A few months ago the Tenney Canning
Company OF Fresno went into the expert
nent of distilling brandy from figs, which
fruit is plentiful and cheap in that part of
the country. AS there was a doubt as to
whether the making of brandy out of this
kind of fruit was prohibited by the in
ternal revenue regulations, Collector Well
burn by agreement with the comp pany
seized the whole output and addre ssed an
inquiry TO the Treasury Department at
Washington as to wh ether it was legal to
manufacture distilled spirits out of figs.
Formerly fruit distillers were per-
mitted to distlll apples, peaches and
grapes, and liquors distilled from other
products were regarded as contraband and
subject to seizure, destruction and the
punishment of the distillers. On June 8,
1885, Congress gave fruit distilers the
right to distill in addition to the products
already named, pears, piIeapples. oranges,
apricots, berries and prunes. Yesterday
the Secretary of the Treasury notified
Acting Collector Thomas that spirits dis
titled from any prodnct other than those
mentioned were illicit, but that in the
case of the Tenney Canning Company, it
appearing that the company bad acted in
good faith, with no Intention 10 deceive
the authorities, the right OF the Govern
ment to conhscate and destroy the goods
was waived and the company was allowed
to take the brandy on payment of the TAX
of 81 10 per gallon.
The Collector was also notified 70 seize
as contraband all spirits made from any
fruits or other product except those al
ready mentioned.
