Chicago. June 6.-Neariy everything In
the way of new and statistics was radi-
cally bearish in wheat. Liverpool cables
reported great depression there. with
prices from ID to sd lower.
The weather and crop conditions ia
vored the selling side. as everything SEEM
ed to promise an enormous yield. The
worlds shipments aggregated II. lS3.C01
bushels for the last week. or more than
double what they were "A year ago. Under
these conditions the longs quickly lost
confidence and began to unload. For the
first half hour there was liquidation. sell
ing on stop-loss orders and on
margins. There was a little rally when
the early short sellers started to buy In
and secure profits. but the market had no
recuperative powers and II 500 turned
weak again. The close was slightly above
the lowest. July losing 2txc for the day
and September being 2S62%c lower than
yesterday.
The heavy receipts Of wheat. the fine
weather and the absence of export de-
mand depressed corn. June closed sale
lower.
Sympathy with the other markets and
heavy selling weakened oats. The closing
was A@%c lower.
Outside liquidation and the weak grain
markets created a heavy feeling in pro-
visions. Pork declined 32tsc. lard i2rc and
ribs 10c.

some gold which was washed from q bar
in the Peace river, which confirms the
statements made In regard to the aurifer-
Gus deposits IN hat stream. Bob Robert
son washed the gold out In four days,
working six hours a day and having MOTH
ing but a round pointed shovel for a pan.
The gold IN worth about 30 md consists
of three fiattened pieces Of gold ANAL
gam. one the size of q silver half-dollar
and the others the size OF a quarter. Ris-
Ing water prevented Mr.. Robertson from
pursuing his Investigations further. but
he intends to return to Edmonton for an
OUTFIT and then resume work on the Peace
river bars.
1t is also reported that gold has been
found on the Baptiste river. . tributary
OF the Athabasca. and that prospectors
have taken out from 80 to so a day In
fine gold.

Phelps to request . meeting with the
council. Jarl replied that he had not,
hat Phelps had stated specifically mat
he would reduce the price asked and
would like to meet the council In .
spirit of fairness, give or take.
Alderman Wadsworth then said that
Mr.. Phelps had one week In n event
to. appear before the council and b
question was merely on h adoption OF
the report
Mcdonnell amended the motion by re-
ferring IL back to the committee for
week and was supported by Jarl.
The amendment was lost on the vote
and the original motion to adopt the re-
port was carried. Mcdonnell then asked
II IL was the desire Of the council to
meet Mr.. Phelps In the matter. Both
Schmidt and Wadsworth replied that
the council evidently . no desire in
the matter at all, but II vas Mr..
Phelps right to appear before the
council at IN time and upon any sub
tect, and in this he had a week. and
practically three in which to do 20. II
was his business to come to the council
and not the councils to go to him.
Alderman Roberts suggested that a
committee be appointed to consult with
Mr.. Phelps. Mcdonnell remarked that
the committee should include all of
the council. Wadsworth said that the
proposition made by Mr.. Phelps
through Mr.. Jarl was entirely too vague
Finally the clerk was Instructed to noti-
fy Mr.. Phelps that the counci at its next
meeting would consider any definite pro-
posal made by him. and this closed the
evenings discussion of the water ques-
ton.

Eagle mine. was seriously injured by
being thrown out of a wagon while
driving up from Boulder last wednes-
day night. Mr.. Dahlman and DR.. F.

prove hat the ore goes down." and
that they are passing through the bar

NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest Of Exchange News-Mining stocks
Metal ouotations-wool Prices and

ducs-Review OF Trade.

New York, June s-The stock market
started in this morning with every ap-
p~earance of saturdays brisk upward
movement being continued. London was
a buyer here 1T the opening even at the
higher level OF London parity. Rumors
abroad OF an approaching movement by
Spain for peace helped Americans in
London.
The heaviness Of government bonds was
due to the conviction that an additional
issue will soon be authorized and uttered.
The brisk movement upward at the OPEN
ing was checked by several develop
ments. Dine Of these was the emphatic
disclaim of Burlington of any purpose to
project a refunding plan. Another we'll
defined conviction on the part OF profess
sional Spectators was that Union Pacific
preferred would soon begin the payment
of dividends at the rate Of Z per cent.
This was met to-day by the strong semi
official intimation that the dividend rate
might be for the present only 3 per cent.
These two developments constituted a
drag on two very important elements In
the market.
When London saw that the dvance
here was not maintained IL turned from
buyer to seller. Many of the leading gran
gers and in~ternationals are thus nearly a
point under the best prices of the day.
The whole list lost something from the
best prices. Money continues very cheap.
Bonds reflected the pressure of cheap
money seeking employment and some Of
the lower grades of speculative bonds
were very largely bought on the advanc-
ing prices. Total sales. &.075, 900. u. =. old

PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY.

The privilege of freedom from arrest en- joyed by members Parliament is confined to civil matters; but, since the abolition of imprisonment for debt, this immunity has been shorn of most of its utility. Formerly it was a very useful privilege. Disraeli says of one of the characters in his first novel, Vivian Grey, that the only way to keep him out of the House of Correction was to get him into the House of Commons" Parliament was then a convenient haven of refuge for splendid pauperS." There are three at least well authenticated instances on record of mem bers who got elected to the House of Commons in order to escape the conSe- uuences of their heavy liabilities.
 In one case an Enlish member named Mills who owed 923, 900 and for whose ar rest a warrant was in the hands Of the Sheriff, avoided imprisonment by pur- chasing seat for one of the old rotten boroughs," in 1907, for the sum of 9100O; In another case an 1rishman named Bourke was confined in the Kings Bench Prison, about seventy years ago, in exc cution for a considerable debt. His friends got him elected for an Irish constituency, but he never entered the House. On his release after election he fled to the Con- tfnent and remained there. Again, in 1895, the year before Disraeli published sfVivian Grey" man who was in prison for debt was returned from Bererley, small English borough, and was forth with released on a warrant issued by MT: Sneaker It was a case, in real lie, or from the House of Correction to the House of Commons.-Good Words.

IN AN OLD FRENCH TOWN.

The very name of the hotel at which the traveller alights will help to foster the illusion that he has put not only miles, but centuries, between himself and his ordinary surroundings. Its sign, de la Haute Mere Dieu or de PImage, carries him back to the days when men relied for safety in their journeys rather on the hand of an unseen protector than on the latest sanitary patent of Jennings. So, too, the names of the streets serve to strengthen the same impression. Here he can sip honey with the Bourbon blanc, caper with the CheVreS qui danSent, car acole on his destrier by the side of the Rue des Remarks, or make the best of both worlds with the Chapeauv Vio- lettes.
 The houses that rise on either side of these quaintly named and tortuous streets are in keeping with the old world at mosphere. They belong to every age and every style. Here is one with high pitched roof and timbered front, its three stories jutting out one above the other, like an inverted staircase. Another, dec some noble family. fascinates the passer- by with the grotesque figures into which its Joists are carved, or that grimace from the gable ends. On the door of a oglyphs, some Protestant's confession of faith, or some Leaguer's curse on Henri Quatre. A fourth, of less ambitious type bears upon its front the symbols of a burgher'S nobleSse de la cloche. A fifth, standing back a few paces from the street. with a stone paved courtyard, Where pigeons are wooing with all the formal courtesies of Sir Charles Grandi- son, has an iron gateway, worked in the style of Louis XV, with marvellous in- some unknown Jean Lamour.-The Nine teenth Century.
