WEEKLY MARKET LITTER.
Downing. Hopkins . compaay's Review
Of Trade.

There has not been much doing in
the wheat market during the past week.
The visible supply decreased 1890, 600
bushels, and the exports from both
coasts We're equal to about 5000, 900
bushels. Crop reports from the Argen-
tine are less favorable and the crop
is reported damaged by frost. should
this report be confirmed, it will fur
nish strong bull incentive to the
market. Not the least important
change in the situation is the decreas-
ing receipts Of winter wheat--suiiicient-
ly marked to offset the increased move
ment Of the spring wheat crop. The
export Gales have not been large, but
sufficiently so to show that our mar
kets are on an export basis and that
the demand continues constant. Local
speculative conditions remain practi-
cally the same as during the previous
week. The weakness in values is more
apparent than real and results from
lack of speculation and moderately in
creasing stocks. There is no sound ar
gument for any decline in values at
present. There are several arguments
and many possibilities in sfavor Of an
advance. Should Russia prohibit ex-
ports or should any serious damage oc-
cur to the Argentine crop, extreme
high values would obtain. Wheat is
fully worth 80 to 95 cents under exist
ing conditions, and as the speculative
public become educated to the higher
values now ruling renewed speculative
support and increasing export sales will
carry values higher.
Our corn market has been dull and
uninteresting-devoid of any particular
features or change in previous condi-
itons. except that farmers sales of corn
to arrive have fallen off to the mimi
mum. Local sentiment has been and
continues extremely bearish. Short
sellers have taken advantage of every
opportunity to depress values, but the
market has developed strong under
tone and values have ruled higher than
at the close Of the previous week. Ex-
port clearances continue large and the
cash demand, while still inadequate.
shows some improvement. The depress-
ing influence in the market continues
to be the large stocks.

Customs Oficiais Making Fortunes Out

New York, Oct. 1s.-Colonel ].
Thomas Scbarf, Chinese inspector for
the southern district Of New York, has
sent to the secretary of the treasury
his resignation. He says that in his
opinion, based on four years of practical
experience and close observation, the
Chinese exclusion act is q farce, and
has resulted in the corruption of the
treasury department
Colonel Scharf is an ex-officer of the
Confederate army. He was appointed
inspector in 1898 under the Cleveland
administration, and Immediately after
his arrival here preferred charges
against customs officers, whom he ac-
cused Of assisting in the smuggling Of
Chinese. He has never succeeded in
bringing about the dismissal of any OF
the men he accused. He says his fail
ure in that direction was caused by the
influence of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way in high quarters.
Colonel Scharf talked ON the subject
last night. He said frauds existed,
and he believed men in the employ and
confidence of the government are max
ing $l5, 600 year each from the illegal
importation Of Chinese. The corrup-
tion, he believes, from evidence in HE
possession, girdles the continent.
Cinnamon who have no right to come
are admitted all along the Canadian
border, at the port Of New York, at Sc
attic and other points along the Pacific
coast. He expects to see some revela-
tions which will startle the country.

Some Rich Stories.

Seattle, Oct. lS.-The steamer City
of Topeka arrived tonight from juneau.
Among her passengers was John f.
Maloney, of juneau, who came out
from Dawson with the Calvin party.
In an interview with the correspondent
of the Associated Press, Mr.. Maloney
said:
''Hunker creek and Gold Bottom
creek, it is conceded, will equal if not
rival the already famous Bonanza and
Eldorado creeks. More especially is
this true of Hunker creek. Location
No. 38 on that creek is among the rich

American Trading & Transportation
Company had quarter OF million in
its safe at Dawson. This shows how
rapidly the gold accumulates. Mr..
Maloney says that over 50, 200, 600 will
come out this fall.
"There are stacks and stacks of
gold," he said, leach with the owners 8

to give figures, but the simple truth is
that his various interests will yield
from 50, 100000 to $4,000, 600 this
winter. These figures are staggering,
but true"
The statement is made that Henry
Bratnober, agent for the Rotchilds,
who has been spending several weeks at
the diggings, offered over $1,000, 600
for 10 claims adjoining one another on
Eldorado, but the offer was declined.

TO EXTEND SEALING ZONE
What Russia Will Propose
at the Conference.
MAY BE CAUSE OF TROUBLE

Her System Of Preserving the Herds
Only Bachelor Seals Killed-Regala-
tions Rigidly Enforced.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-Although the
formal conference ON the Behrng sea
question will not open until the arrival
of the Japanese delegates, yet the pres
ence here of two Of the Russian dele
gates has permitted the authorities to
inform themselves quite thoroughly as
to the attitude Of Russia on the protec-
tion of the seals.
1t has brought out the fact that
Russia takes an advanced position in
preserving her herds, and has more
stringent laws and regulations in that
direction than any Of the other ooun-
tries interested. By the Russian sys-
tenn, a zone Of 80 miles is established
around the seal islands belonging to
the empire. The seals found within
these zones are regarded as exclusively
Russian, and no one other than the in
habitants of the islands can take seal
within these limits. This gives the
Russian citizens exclusive rights over
the seals, not only on the islands, but
extending 80 miles westward. British
or Japanese sealers cannot operate
within the zone, except to buy skins OF
the Russian inhabitants of the islands.
The Russians themselves are permitted
to kill only bachelor seals, there being
strict regulations against killing fe-
males and pups. The females are
guarded with special care, as the kill
ing of one female is regarded as equiva-
lent to the killing of three seals, name
ly, the female herself, her pup on land
and her unborn pup.
The Russians see that these regula-
tions are enforced. A fleet of govern
ment ships patrols the 30-mile zone,
and any foreign sealers who attempt to
operate within these limits are seized.
As rule, seized seaiers are taken to
Vladivostock, their catch confscated
and punishment inflicted. This has led
to many protests, but Russia has main
tanned her rigid regulations within the
S0-mile zone. A notable case was that
OF the ship Dahlia, cleared by q Uni
ted States consular officer. but manned
by Japanese crew, which attempted
to take seals on the Russian islands.
The sealers were met with armed resist
ance, and several of the Japanese were
killed. Claims for indemnity were
made against Russia, but never paid, as
the imperial authorities maintained
their right to protect their property
against invasion.
1t is understood to be the wish Of
Russia in the forthcoming conference
not to stop at the protective regulations
already made, but to carry them fur
ther by increasing the width of the
zone considerably beyond 80 mifes.
The Russian authorities have found by
experience that many OF the female
seals go more than 80 miles to sea in
search Of food. The wish is to make
the zone so wide that it will extend to
the furthest point to which the females
go for food.

Port Townsend, WASH, Oct. lS.--As
an evidence that gold is found else
where than at Klondike, the steamer
City of Topeka. which arrived this
evening from Alaska, brought down an
aggregate of 5000, 900 in gold dust, all
from Cooks inlet, the result of this
summers work. This amount is dis
tributed among IS men, who are COM
ing out to spend the winter in land
where climatic conditions are more fa-
vorable than those of the country they
have just left. On the 22d of Septem-
Der, ll6 men left Cooks inlet on the
steamer Perry, for Sitka, where they
took the Topeka for Puget sound.
Thirty-one OF the party stopped at
Juneau, where they will spend the
winter. No rich strikes are reported
at Cooks inlet, but the men averaged
So in dust every day they worked. On
rare occasions, man would pan out
$40 per day, and often as low as $S.
Among the passengers was Robert
Michaelson, who is making his first
visit to the outside world in that time.
He brought out several thousand dol
lars, how much he would not state.
He owns several rich claims, which he
will work next year. Michaelson will
spend the winter at his old home,
Alces.es, S. d.
H. A. Schemser has upwards Of $10.-
600, after stay Of seven years. He is
going to San Francisco for the winter,
and will return in the spring. He
owns four of the best claims in the
group. 7. J.Reilly. of New York, who
went to Cooks inlet in March, 1896,
and stayed there all winter for the rea-
son that he had not sufficient money to
pay his way down, was aslo passenger
on the Topeka today. He is the owner
of two quartz claims on Bear creek. in
one of which the ledge is two feet wide,
and assays $3.50 per ton. The other is
eight feet wide, and assays $50 per ton.
Reilly has with him $4,000 in dust,
which he washed from a placer claim
during the past summer. He will re-
turn in the spring with machinery for a
stamp mill.
Provisions are reported as plentiful
at reasonable prices at Cooks inlet.
There was little or no sickness there
during the past season. About so of
the 500 men who were at Cooks inlet
during the summer will winter there.
