TO RAID SEAL ROOKERIES.
Canadian Pirates May Ravage the
Islands of st. George and ST. Paul.

. UNALASKA, July %, via Victoria, B. c.,
Aug. 4.-Well-founded reports are in circu-
iation that a concerted attempt will be made
next month by a fleet of Canadian sealers
to raid the rookeries on the islands of st.
Paul and st. George. There is but one gov
eminent vessel the gunboat Wheeling to
guard Boring sea against pelagic sealers,
and the department has ordered her to visit
the various fish canneries along the Alaska
coast and see that the fishing laws are not
violated. Around Unalaska and Dutch Har-
bor where the larger portion of the sealing
fleet rendezvouSeS before the season opens
are over a score of vessels, and Il seems
Ito be an open secret that in the event of
the animals being scarce in the present
zone allowed for sealing purposes the cap
tains contemplate raiding the rookeries. The
absence of revenue cutters. they declare
seems to imply a tacit invitation to invade
the sea and kill seals wherever they may
be found. Both the st. Paul and St George
islands have a few government officers
lessees, employees and a couple hundred
natives. But this force is inadequate to
Illustrate well-planned raid. The officers
themselves expect the laws will be fla
gravity violated unless revenue cutters are
sent up for patrol service. The plan of
branding female seals, government officials
say is proving a success. Those that were
branded last year and emigrated south dur
ing the winter are returning to the feeding
grounds. The work of branding will be
continued this year.

RECEIPTS AND POOR OUTLOOK.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-SInall receipts and an
active demand for shipments sustained
prices in wheat to-day. September closed
%@%c higher. December is unchanged
Corn gained 1SdSsc. Oats advanced nc
Pork left off &c higher lard 10c and ribs &C.
Weak Liverpool cables and generally fine
weather throughout the United Kingdom
and continent started wheat lower. Some
phases of the domestic situation, however
were anything but favorable to the bears
AS the bullish factors began Immediately
after the opening to be emphasized by fig
ures, the market quickly threw off the de-
preston with which it started. Chicago in
spection returns showed only seventy-sx
cars, against 149 the corresponding day last
year, while Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
were seventy-seven cars against go the pre-
vious year. The total at all the principal
primary Western wheat markets was only
$4,000 bushels, against $4,000 bushels year
ago. In consequence the shipping demand
for wheat in all positions was extremely
good and for immediate delivery quite
| urgent Under such conditions the price for
September delivery rose from 651sc at the
opening to 66ssd66l2c. Threshng returns
from Ohio were said to have forced reduc-
ton in the estimated yield in that State of
fully 60 per cent. from month ago. That
was also helpful to the bulls. Toward the
close those who were short on September
wheat bought it in and sold for December
As a result December lost part of the early
gain. The clearances of wheat and flour
from the Atlantic seaboard ports were lib
eral. September opened 3s112c down. at
651sQ65Ac, firmed up to 663sG5612c and closed
at 66A@663sc asked. December began &Qt5sc
lower, at from 641ac to Ah @64ssc, rose to
65ssQ6512c and sold off to 547sc asked, the
closing figure
The first bull inspiration corn has had in
several days was the statement to-day by
fourths of crop would be raised. This
seemed to brace the nerves of the longs
who needed encouragement to keep them
from selling out. The general tone of the
market became strong and continued so to
the end. September started unchanged to
19c lower, at 3zSsc to S212c, rose steadily to
331sc and closed at 33433Ac asked.
Harvesting returns, which showed an in
creasing deficiency in the crop, together
with the strength of the other grains, adj
vanced oats. September opened unchanged
to &c lower, at 209sc rose to 211sc and set
tied back to 207sG21c at the close.
