Chicago, June 13.-Wheat opened tame.
with a downward tendency, owing TO
enormous domestic receipts and indiffer-
ent cables. After moderate decline,
however. the market turned upward on
complaints of damage TO the spring crop
by too much rain. Liberal selling on the
bulge caused a setback. and the market
had many sudden turns over narrow
range, until near the end, when an esti-
mate by a prominent StatiStician that this
years crop of the world would be 3d., &c.,
900 bushels less than last year, caused
railing. ard the market closed within
fraction OF the top. The strength in corn
and "a better export inquiry helped the ad-
vance. July wheat opened Ac lower at
75q75lsc. declined to 74S4, advanced to l6g
76szc, and closed with sellers at 16c.
Corn started rather easy. owing to the
heavy receipts, but rallied quickly on COW

an excellent export demand. July opened

The Banner-Democrat., 1899-09-09

The bark President, Captain Ben
ton, arrived at New Bedford recently,
from thirty months whaling voyage
in the Atlantic ocean, during which
she made rather poor catch and met
with particularly rough experiences,
which resulted in the loss of all her
boats and forced her to return to port
at a.time when the prospects were
promising for big catch.
The President left this fam us old
Massachusetts port, relates the Boston
Herald, in November, 1895. She thsn
had four boats. About year ago,
while off the Western islands, two
boats, in pursuit of q whale, got too
near and the whale, becoming desper-
ate, lit them sharp of, one at a time.
By miracle none of the crew was
hurt, but the bark was left with only
two boats
Soon afterward, off ST. Michael's,
q heavy gale carried away another
boat. The bark was headed for st.
Michael's, and the captain succeeded
in purchasing two boats, making three
in all, in which he resumed the voy-
age.
About five months ago another ugly
whale was fastened to, and he finished
q couple more boats. That of the
second crew was completely demol-
ished by being chewed up by the
whale, and the captains boat was well
within the monsters jaws, when
heavy sea wrenched it free and it
drifted away with the crew hang = 6 to
it. The men escaped and the boat was
repaired This left the bark again With
two boats.
Nine days ago, on the Charleston
grounds, the crew of one of the boats
struck a whale, but he succeeded in
smashing tue boat with his tail, and
the crew was scarcely able to get back
to the vessel, which was now left
with single boat.
On the 5th of May a terrific gale
was encountered, and the bark WIS
thrown on her beam ends and stayed
there several hours. She was heeled
over so far that the oil coolers on deck.
were half filled with water, but as the
| gale moderated the bark righted and
| it was found that the seas had carried
away the last boat from the cranes.
| Then it was decided to come home, as
no boats could be secured and any
further stay would be useless.
The day the bark lett the whaling
ground was calm and fair, and the
lookout reported fine big sperm whales

impossible. :,
During the voyage the bark took
$50 barrels of sperm oil, 440 of which
were sent home. The remaining 100
barrels are on board
