WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins q Company's Review
Of Trade.


There were number OF considera-
tions in the wheat market to unsettle
the ideas of traders. The uneasiness
over the July deal ON account Of the
small stocks has been one Of the factors.
1t was started by the discovery that
trades in July would not settle with
one of the prominent elevator concerns.
and the conclusion was at once reached
that this concern had bought enough
July wheat to develop an interesting
situation with local contract stocks Of
wheat so abnormslly low. Not only
are local stocks and the American visi-
BILE away below last years. level, but
the recent decreases have each week
been greater than expected. On account
of the good cash trade the local out
inspection has been heavy, and each
week large percentage of the local
stock ismoved out. The position taken
by the board of trade directory on the
elevator question was inclined to add
to the uneasiness regarding the possi-
bility of July squeeze.
Among the minor considerations
have been the changes in the weather,
the reports OF locusts in the North
west, the good spring wheat -four trade.
In a general way the market has been
unsettled and easily influenced in either
direction by comparatively small
volume of trade.

FOR INDIAN WAR VETERANS
Pension Measure Favorably
Reported.
THE SURVIVORS MADE HAPPY

The Bm Provides for Transforming Sur
vivors OF orugon and Washington
wars of is47 and isSs.
Washington, June 90. The senate
committee on pensions has reported
general bill for amending an act grant
ing pensions to survivors OF Indian
wars. The bill was introduced by
Senator Mcbride. and provides for PEN
sioning the survivors of the Oregon and
Washington wars of lS47 and 1866,
Senator Gallinger, who made the re-
port, said:
1T will be gratifying to the Indian
war veterans to receive message that
this bill has been favorably reported,
and that this long-delayed act OF JUS
tice is in process of settlement
These veterans average 10 years older
than the veterans of the late civil war,
and that statement alone is sufficient
to show that at least the bounty Of the
government can be bestowed upon them
for very brief time.
OF the Cayuse war the report says:
There were $50 volunteers and no
regular troops engaged. go
The estimate as to Cayuse war is
based upon the percentage of survivors
OF the Mexican war and widows of sol
diers of that war, who are now alive
and have pensionable service, the Cay

Mexican war was in progress.
1t is shown that IL per cent of claims
filed by Mexican war survivors and 10
per cent filed by soldiers widows have
been rejected on conditions that do not
enter into the Indian war act, towit, a
service OF less than so days and age
limit, etc.
Taking this estimate and computing
with the American table of mortality,
there should be l44 survivors and SO
widows now living.
These volunteers were not mustered
into the United States service, but un-
der subsequent act of congress the
state of Oregon was reimbursed for
tutlE StTNIct Dy tIic OHAtcu E1Ittcrs
The following is what the report saws
of the Oregon and Washington terri
tory wars:
The war department reports that $50
regulars were engaged, and the auditor
for the war department 6,397 militia.
OF the regulars probably 75 per cent,
or 637, served in the Mexican war and
other wars, leaving 2l9, and of the mi
litia 30 per cent, or 1875, served in
other wars or rendered more than one
service in the Oregon and Washington
territory wars, leaving 8, l03 militia;
a total of regulars and militia of 5,Sl6.
OF this number deduct per cent, or
3I9, for desertion and casualties,
which would leave 4,997 survivors at
close Of the wars.
From an examination of number of
claims it appears that these survivors
should now be 6511 years of age, and
from the American table of mortality
As per cent, or 1899, are now living
The number of widows is based upon
the percentage of widows of Mexican
war soldiers who are living, which
would show $40 widows OF soldiers Of
Oregon and Washington territory dis.
turbances living.
