but saw little ice there and not many
whales. The bone she brought down
was obtained from five bowheads. She
had some experinec in the early ice and
was detained in a pack for three
weeks. The detention lost for the
Thrasher's officers a golden opportunity
for trading with the natives. The other
boats of the fleet escaped the ice and
had cleaned out the barter market when
the Thrasher came to hand.
The Tharshers officers made several
attemptes to trade with the natives on
| the Siberian coast, but found the Wig
ilance of the Russian concessionaires
too much for even Yankee ingenuity.
Gold in paying quantities has been
discovered some ten miles inland from
East Cape. The Thrasher people were

richness of the newly found mines

rian coast have been conceded to Rus

measure of freedom. He took advan-

u, from the Jail, launched a small boat
and with only one oar attempted to
reach the Thrasher anchored a mile
from the beach. His absence was dis
covered and lifeboat left the beach in
chase. In spite of the crankiness of his
craft and the fact that he had but one
oar, Oscar gave his pursuers a long
chase, and was within a few hundred
yards of the whaler when overtaken.
James Allen, another member of the
Thrasher's crew. was left at Port Hope
at his own request. He will remain
there until next year and will put in
the winter hunting whales and fuI
game from the ice foes.

THRASHER'S
RETURN.


Bringing 5000 Pounds of Bone, and
Also News from High Latitudes.
The steam whaler Thrasher arrived
at San Francisco last Tuesday from
the Arctic, with about 5000 pounds of
whalebone. She sent down 5000
pounds earlier in the year. and her total
harvest for the season 5000 pounds, will
mean a neat balance for the captain
and officers. The foremost hands and
green members of the crew will have
had a long ride and their share may
be large enough to leave them a few
dollars after their Indebtedness to the
ship is settled.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Corn was hammered
by the bears fast and flercely today. The
growing crop was ripening too rapidly
under the influences of perfect weather
to suit the holders. In the general alarm
there was a panicky drop of 2%c., de-
cline of 419c. since yesterdays high price
and of over 7c. in week. The pit and
country side were both bearish. De-
liveries of wheat also were too heavy
for prices and on sympathy everything
turned very sick and heavy. Even the
fortunate shorts would not cover enough
accounts to relieve the slump. At the
close September corn was pa to 23sc. de-
pressed; September wheat u to &c down
and September oats &c. lower. Provi-
sions had inherent strength, but closed
unchanged to Csc. lower on the grain in
fiuence.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Aug. S.-The cotton market
opened firm and 2 to 4 points higher on
active general buying in which the local
shorts and the Wall Street bull interests
were in active competition. Following
the call the tendency was quite steadily
upward with Southern, southwestern
commission houses and foreign demand
in evidence. The Liverpool cables were
better than expected, and the private
advices from that market declared the
feeling in European cotton circles was
less bearish than in some time past
The crop reports were very mixed. while
lue W0dlHeT SldleHeulS lTOm WdSuluS-
ton were indicative of a serious hot wave
over the Southwest. Philadelphia and
local spot cotton firms were eager buy

bles from Liverpool were something OF
disappointment, but failed to affect the
market here appreciably. After midday
speculation simmered down to a strag-

New Orleans, Aug. S.-The demand for
spot cotton continues good. Buyers were
as usual moving about in search of de-
sirable lists, but there was only meagre
supply of offerings and much difficulty
was experienced in securing the grades
needed. Sales were $50 bales, including
GOO f. 0. b. terms and $50 to arrive.
Futures at the first call were four
points higher on August and one to two
points on the other months. After the
first call prices moved UP 5 points ad-
dtional, by a pressure of realizing sales
that sent the futures off again and the
downward turn in values continued to
the close when the board showed net
losses of points on August and to 5
points on the later positions.
