The low price Of cotton Is mainly re-
sponslble for the falling off, the similar
condition of the rosn market having also
tended 10 the same end. Other lines OF
trade have probably held their own, If they
have not increased, in both the volume of
goods handled and their gross value. With
the cotton crop practically half marketed
so far as Savannah's receipts are concern
ed, and no apparent probability of any ma
terial advance in values soon, the outlook
would seem to be for smaller bank clear
ances this year unless there is a substan-
tial addition to the jobbing business of the
city compared with recent years. Judging
from the general condition of trade, much
of the falling off IN clearances from other
sources viii be made up, but all could
hardly be Offset in this way.

BANK cLEARANCEs SMALLER.

Effect of the Low Prices for Cotton
and Some other Commodities.
The effect of low prices in commodities
that form the bulk of Savannahs export
business is shown in the bank clearances
While in bulk Savannah since Sept. has
handled greater quantities of cotton and
naval stores than in previous years, her
clearances are less than for the same pc
rior in the past four years. For the eleven
weeks since the opening of the fall busi-
ness the clearances show a decrease of

total clearances for that period in the

Mr.. Ogden Gives a Few Facts
About Klondike.
ALL GROUND STAKEO OFF
Gamblers Gobbled Up the Choice Claims.
Montana Men in Alaska-Clarence Nc
Gill Badly Sca!ded-News Items
OF Interest From Sheridan.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Sheridan, Sept. 16.-Sam Ogden, who
is one of the Madison county men who
ter, returned to Sheridan Sunday even
ing. Mr.. Ogden left Dawson City on
the 18th of August and came out by
way of st. Michael's island. He says
that at present the country is a good
one to stay away from. All the ground
worth taking is staked and held at a
very high figure. When the boom in
the Klondike mines was first started,
the gambling element in Circle City
sent out men who staked all of the
ground they deemed worthy of paying
the recording fee. Some men, in this
manner, secured from so to 100 claims.
These are now held at exOrbitant fig
ures. Mr.. Ogden says that in about
two years, when the boom has sub
sided, he will go back there and locate
on some of the ground, now claimed,
that he has been on. He thinks he
can make some money when that time
comes. He went in by way of the lakes
and down the river. one Of his COM
p~anions was r. l.. Word of Helena,
who went in to see how his father was
faring. He found Sam Word in good
health at Dawson City, waiting for an
opportunity TO practice his profession.
The Canadian officials, who formerly
had charge of affairs in that section,
would not allow an American lawyer
to practice. and, in consequence. Sam
found the picking very slim for a while.
Now a different set of officers have
control and Americans are given a bet
ter show.
Mr.. Ogden says that Hugh O'Donnell
and Arthur McCrimmons. two we'll
known Butte and Virginia City miners,
struck Dawson City practically broke.
They went to work for wages and, saw
ing up some money, they bought a
claim 100 feet square, and are now TAX
ing out some money. They are work
ing eight men. James Pankey accom-
panied Mr.. Ogden home, and two others
of the same party from this county.
Ed Runey and Dan kellar. are now
in Butte. The only real estate secured
by ogden during his Alaska trip is two
lots at Eagle City, on the American side
Of the ine. He says that ne could
make the trip again with the half the
work he did the first time; that he
would take no provisions. as they can
be bought cheaper in Dawson than
they can be packed in.
