NEW YORK, Dec. s0.-The postal sav.

New York banking circles A canvass
of presidents Of prominent institutions

Amdayit of a Ghost.

curiosities unearthed by the transcript
ton of the Meagher country records
Is a Iced wherein the party of the first
part is John Jones. deceased" II was
evidently the intention to convey a por-
ton of his estate. but the deed does not
read that way. IL Is in regular FORM
and even the notary who acknowledge
the instrument solemnly states that
John Jones. deceased, known to the
notary TO be the person who executed
the foregoing instrument. personally
appeared before me this day. etc.
There seems to be a irmer belief In
ghost in Meagher county than In most
parts of the state, and the conveyance
ought to go bach to the courts Of that
county for an Interpretation.

BIDDING NOT So LIVELY
For Some Reason the Buyers
Held Back Yesterday.
FROM IS TO 10 1-8 CENTS
Sixteen Cents Is Refused for the T. @
Power g. Co. Clip and the Entire Lot
May Be Shipped East on Con-
signment-The Receipts.

Great Falls, July 21.-There was a
large number of small wool clips sold
this morning at the warehouse, but IT is
evident that for some reason the buyers
are not as anxious to pick UP wool as
they were. On several clips nc bids
were offered at all, which is in marked
contrast to the condition of two weeks
ago, when five buyers tied on one clip.
Prices this morning ranged between
Is and 16h cents. the latter being the
best price offered in the market. The
clip of T. c. Power & Co.. was placed
on sale, but the highest price offered
was 16 cents. TIL owners efused to
accept n will either hold their wool
here or ship It East on consignment
This is the second instance of this kind
that has happened in the present sea-
son, but last year, particularly toward
the close OF the market, a large number
of clips were consigned. many of them
not ever being offered to the buyers. II
is probable that there will be more
consignments this year before the mar
ket closes.
At the present time some $500, 000
pounds of wool have been received al
this point. While more clips have been
brought to this city han came last year,
the wool is so much lighter that 1t Is
probable the entire amount marketed
here will not exceed 1000, 900 pounds
THE bulk, of course, Is nearly the same
as last year, but the dirt and grease
have been washed out by the heavy
trains Of the spring.

MANIA FOR OLD CLOTHES.
A Morphine Fiend of Peculiar Habits
and Desires.


Great Falls, July 21.-A few evenings
ago at the invitation of the chief of po-
lice, John Guerin, the Standard repre-
sentative made a visit to one of the
most curious places which lies within
the city limits. 1t was a small build
ing, hardly better than a shack, located
on one OF the alleys of the city. 1t was
occupied by a man, or the wreck of
one, whose mania is the collection of
old clothes n their cleaning. There
are three rooms in the place and each
is strung about the wall as thick as
they can be hung with lines of clothes,
vests. trousers, shirts, socks and every
thing of that description, probably 800
or 600 pieces. The occupant had a pair
of overalls stretched on a board over
a tub of water and was working away
as if for life, scrubbing them with a
brush. What oil earth he is to do with
his miscellaneous stock of old wear
is more than anyon can say
At one time he was head waiter in
one of the best hotels of the city, but
he 500 became a hop fend and lost
his job. Then he wandered away 10
the coast, where he claims that no
cured himself of the habit. But he
returned to Montana, and whether Or
not he was cured of smoking pnLm lie
soon became a morphine f1end. using
the hypodermic syringe. Now he lives
in this tumble-down building, making
a bare living by doing odd Jobs and
possibly now and then selling an old
garment for two bits. The same amount
OF energy expended in any other man
ner would almost ensure a competency
in a few years. He claims he has real
estate in Helena, although that. of
course, cannot be any great source f
wealth, and has q wife there now in
jail. She. he says is a cocaine fen
1t was a most pitiable sight, this
mar working as II life depended upon
It, n telling his troubles to the chief.
He assured the latter that he had
nearly broken himself of the habit and
hoped with a few more months to be
entirely free. He told of the wealtl
of old clothes that he was accumulat-
ing and how he intended as soon as his
father came out from the East and set
him up in business in some other town
to sell all OF his stock and give up the
use of morphine. The chances are
however, hat he is a hopeless. as he is
a harmless wreck.

New York, July 2.-There was no relief
to the undertaking auietude of the stock
market to-day. A few Of the industrals
were pushed up on considerations Incl
vidual to the stock. The strength of
these had some sympathetic eHtct on the
general list stocks In wnicn showed sp-
probation In price on a very small volume
of dealings. Not all of the gains were
held, but prices at the close showed SOME
net gains as a rule. Rubber. leather. Met
ropolitan. lead and cotton oil were all sd-
vanced quite materially. and there was
a few of the railroad stocks which rose
as much as a point. London was a
small buyer on balances. The hesitation
m the wheat market had it's reaction in
the stock market. though the fact is how
accepted that we are TO have a wheat
crop OF unprecedented proportions. CT
rather more significance was to-day's re-
port that there were prospects OF a large
crop of Roumanian wheat, experimenting
yesterdays report of an expected feavy
increase in the French crop. Current
prices for the future deliveries of wheat
show a tendency to spread from the prices
ruling at the corresponding period last
year, the active speculation In the COM
ing crop at this time last year being in
full force, with reports OF damage 10 Eu-
ropean crops and the prospective heavy
shortage. To-day's price for the SepteJn-
Der delivery In New York Is about seven
cents under the price for the correspond
ing period for last year.
The interrupted grain movement al
ready shows signs of recovery and a good
export demand gives hope that present
prices will be well maintained and the
movement of the new crop continued.
Sterling exchange was reduced NC in the
actual rates to-day under the influence of
grain and cotton bills in the market, and
there was no hardening tendency in the
money market. The pressure of invest
ment funds was conspicuous in the bond
market to-day, notably for highly Sc
cured bonds of reorganized roads. Very
heavy blocks OF the Union Pacific and the
Atchison As were taken. There was also
a movement in speculative bonds. WIS
