More Professional Decline in Inter
national Silver-Market Closes Slug
gish and Heavy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-There vas a
decided falling off in activity today in
the stock market. and the dealings were
even more professional. Early in the
day there was an appearance of brisk
ness in the trading, and the majority of
the list advanced on the extremely ia
Vorable character of the Government
crop report regarding the condition and
prospective yields of all of the impor-
tant staple grains.
The report presented nothing that has
not been realized for some time by the
Western operators in the stock and
grain markets and by railway officials
and large capitalists. In the afternoon
the market became extremely dull, and
renewed liquidation in the grangers on
moderate scale caused a reactionary
movement of prices from the best fg
ures. The lighter volume of business
was partly attributable to the continued
frmnsss of the money market.
Gold Exports Cancelled.
Part of the day call money loaned be-
low per cent, yesterdays maximum fig
ure, and that rate was not exceeded. It
developed that certain prominent bank
ing institutions that had been figuring
upon exports of gold early this week
have Cancelled their arrangements. and
their principals intimate that heavy Of
ferings of bills against grain and cotton
are shortly to be expected. The foreign
exchange market was a shade easier.
As a result of moderate payments by
the subtreasury for gold deposited at
San Francisco recently and on account
of pensions, that institution was a slight
loser to the local banks. Money was re-
ported a shade frmer in London, and
foreign arbitrage dealers sold stock
moderately on balance in this market.
A feature of the day was the publica-
tion of an unusually large list of rail-
way earnings. chiefly for the first week
in August and for the month of July.

LETTER FROM ]. w. COLE.
TOWNSEND, MONT, !
July %, 1902.

FRIEND TURNER:-The TIMES of
the 25th came to hand this morning.;
thanks for promptness. Glad for news
from home.
We pulled out of Kansas City, Mon
day, July 81, $40 p. m, over Burling-
ton route. Had a long ride angling
across Nebraska, the southwest cor.
ner of South Dakota and northeast
corner of Wyoming, reaching Billings,
Mont, early Wednesday morning,
where we entered the Valley OF the
Yellowstone and rode alongside OF that
beautiful stream of clear water for
over 100 miles. The mountains tow
cred up on either side, some OF them
capped with snOw-the first time in
our lives we ever saw snow in July.
AT first l could hardly believe it to be
snow; thought it might be white sand
stone or magnesia. A party in our
car had pair of good field glasses,
and on looking through them found
it quite different. Distance seems
very deceptive here, as was Informed
those white caps we're so to 60 miles
away and 5000 to 10000 feet high.
We arrived here at p. M, Wednes-
day, and found friends and dinner
waiting to welcome US. There are
plenty of mountains all around here,
but not quite so high as some along
the way. Have not climbed any OF
them yet.
Have met two NeoshO county boys
here-David Carson, formerly of Ur-
bana, who has just returned from the
Philippines, and Arthur Gaughan, of
carlton, who is working on ranch
near town.
Wife and both stood our ride very
well and now feel first rate. Weather
is fine; little warm during the after
noon, but the nights are cool and
pleasant for sleeping, though very
short, there being only five to six
hours between darkness and daylight.
Wishing Chanute and all the people
good luck, remain, Yours truly.

foolish for paying dollar year for a
local paper when you can get a Kan

But does the X. G. paper say any
thing about your comlngs ard golngs!
When your daughter has beau or
gets married is it the Kansas City
paper that mentions what good girl
she is and what fine husband she has
secured? If Tommy stubs his toe or
has stonebruise on his heel, it is not
the Kansas City paper that mentions
the fact. And you know you like to
see your name in the paper. Every
body does. 1t makes man feel like
he is cutting some ice II the local
paper mentions him or his family
occasionally. The editor is somewhat
like you, he likes little commend
alton or a little cussing occasionally.
Either answers the same purpose. He
knows by either that he has attracted
little attention.
But as we we're about to say, VIII

there are probably others of our sub

advance and we will not take any
offense. BY the way, after you have
received your receipt for the year in
advance, you might make the editor
feel good by saying good word for

commend the last editorial or speak
of the amount of local news the last
issue contained or suggest that you
