Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1899-11-09

San Francisco, Nov. 3.--The Bulletin
Yesterday published direct advices, the
first that have been received here for
months from the island of Gaum. The
advices arrived here on the China and
will be forwarded to Washington as
part of a report prepared by the otli-
GERS of the United States steamer
Brutus.
Gov. Leary, who ranks as a lieuten-
ant in the navy, found matters in a
very unsatisfactory condition when he
arrived last August. The Spaniards
had been telling the natives all manner
of tales about the Americans and led
some of the savages to believe that the
soldiers would make slaves Of them. A
revolt was ripe and had not the gov
ernor caused the arrest of several trou-
bic provokers an incipient rebellion
might have been started.
The governor and men Are at Agana,
the capital of Guam, and that is the
only town garrisoned. About 800 more
men are needed to insure perfect quiet,
as evil influences may be used to excite
the natives, who are, however, natu-
rally docile people. Land which sold
for as low as $40 and SIS per acre has
suddenly advanced to over 500 Be-
fore the governor came foreigners were
grabbing everything in sight, knowing
that American rule would mean boom
for Agana. The governor was then
forced to issue proclamation in which
it was decreed that nope but American
citizens should hold land in the islands
Many of the natives have sworn alle-
glance to the government and are very
respectful to the dag.

OUR TRANsvAAl TRADE.
Orders Reduced on Account of the
Unrest in south Africa.

Unrest in South Africa
New York, July 15.-It has been reported
that the disturbed state of affairs in the
Transyaal, caused by fear that the strained
relations between the Boer Republic and
England may result in warfare, is having
a serious effect upon the American export
trade with South Africa, which is much
larger and more important than is general
ly supposed. In the year ending with June,
it amounted to nearly s15,OOO,O 600, or nearly
SO, 600 more than in the corresponding
period next preceding. The shipments are
made almost exclusively from this port
The head of one large house said that
it had received no cancellations of any con-
sequence, but he had no doubt that some
orders had been withheld.
A member of another extensive firm said
that there had been no cancellations in his
trade. and that he did not know that there
had been much if any falling off in it, but
il was true that buyers were conservative
and cautious, just as business men were
here when war with Spain was threatened.
Our exports were chiefly machinery, &C.
reals, oil, timber, and all the rougher and
coarser lines of goods.
By a representative of another leading
house in the trade it was said that its
South African business was entirely unaf-
fected outside of Johannesburg. The Jo-
hannesburg trade was dull, but the counter
manding orders received were not so much
cancellations as suspensions.
The manager of a company which ships
manufactured iron said that all orders were
being filled as usual, and he had received
no intimation of any cancellations.
One merchant who is largely interested
in the South African export trade, said
that none of the orders which he had re-
ceived had been Cancelled, but that, in
consequence of the political trouble in the
Transvaal, the size of the orders given
had been reduced from the usual amount.
He showed letter from one of his cor
respondents there, dated June 8, saying
that 1.-The entire country is in a state of
unrest and excitement" and adding that,
while there was not much doubt in the
writer's mind that matters would be set
tied amicably, without war, the people
were, in the mean time, buying from hand
to mouth This, the writer said, ac-
counted for the small orders transmitted,
which, in all likelihood, would become still
smaller within the month. He was conf
dent of the future however, and declared
that this country is going to see one of
the biggest booms ever known as he had
not the slightest doubt that when the
British-Transvaal affair should be settled
good results would be the outcome. In
support of this opinion, he said that there
were hundreds of gold fields in South At
RIGA as yet untouched, except for boring
through the reef which would be opened
as soon as matters were settled and cause
new capital to flow into the country.

New York, July 15.-The Financial
Chronicle" report for the week is still
silent as to the crop loss in Texas. Cotton
generally is reported as doing well. Com
plants of rust come from Selma, Ala
Some Atlantic and Gulf points need rain,
The amount brought into sight for the
season SO far is 10,9S4,000 as against
10,SS4,000 last year.
There is nothing striking as to the sta
tistical situation generally. The feeling on
the market is somewhat mixed. There is
a suspicion that prices may recede TO the
lowest of last autumn. There was selling
of August and the early months today in
this market, which resulted in declines Of
one point.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Light Trading and Another Frac-
tfonaI Decline in Wheat.

Chicago, July 15.-Fine weather in the
Northwest, limited speculation, and con-
tinued heavy Western movement TOOK
another fraction off the wheat price, which
closed 1-4d3-Sc under yesterday. Septem-
Der wheat sold at 70 12 and y Sac, and
closed at ~ 3-4972 Use. Such steadiness
as there was early was on wet weather IN
the Southwest where harvesting is under
way Everyone assumes that the really
important consideration, however, is the
Northwestern crop, and Minneapolis and
Duluth were selling here today. The iig-
ures best tell the story of the big move
ment, primary receipts for the week being
five times last years Gables show that
the foreign speculative mood is the same
as ours, hardly any change in prices. A
considerable line of long corn was sold out
today, and prices suffered fractionally.
The July was off 1-Sc. and the September
and December off 3-S@1-2c. July now is
at a little premium over September, and
September is increasing its premium ove'
December. The rains which disturbed the
wheat people are just the conditions foT
corn. The shipping demand has not been
good for two days. Oats about held their
own, which was better than the other
grains accomplished. Early they were up
fraction on wet weather. 1t is taken for
granted that this years crop will be very
fine in quality, and there is a disposition
in some quarters to buy oats on weak days.
Provisions were moderately lower, with
the hog and grain markets, and closed
steady at the decline. The selling was
mainly by realizing longs and most of the
buying by packers. The cash demand was
good for both meats and lard. Foreign adj
vices were strong. Estimates for Monday,
$4,000 hogs; for next week, 10000.

of its general attractiveness. The railway

showing a continuance of the great activity
