Last Saturday week in open court Judge Alfred $. Moore, being on the bench. George B. Grigsby, acting district attorney, stated to the court that in his Opin- ion the present grand jury had been unfairly drawn: that it had been "jobbed, /" and he believed he could produce the proof if given the opportunity, before the proper tribunal. He stated his willingness to obey the instructions of the courl. and returned to the grand jury room. On the follow ing Monday morning he was given three or foul hours to produce the proof of the statement that he had made on the previous Saturday. The task mani. festly was impossible in the limited time, and he was forcibly removed from of flee and John l.. McGinr was appointed in his place and stead.
 The result will be known.

PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY.

It may be taken as assured that there will be fully as many people come to Nome this season as there were last; it may be that the number will be larger, for Nome has acquired the reputation of being camp Of some permanence and of much promise All the reports which have been lately received by HE NUGGET, indicate the fact. Mining operations, as we have heretofore stated will be larger scale than ever before seen in Alaska Capital is looking this way for investment and the demand for legitimate propositions will largely increase
 The rush to Valdez seems to have been of the most ephemeral kind. and disappointment has already been the result, although that portion of Alaska is promising one, and it will yet come to the front The Panama seems to be the next resort but if the reports received of late all authentic the striLo ,ho~o

It will enable the town to emerge from condition of bankruptcy to redeem its outstanding warrants, and in short to pay its just debts It will have enough money to maintain a decent system of government, economically admins tered, and we think that the people of Nome by this time understand that when Mayor Rustgard talks he means what he says He will see to it that there is no wanton extravaganza if he prevent it.

Judge Bell, of the superior court of King county, Washington, re- gently committed former Governor Semple, of that state, for contempt of court. The grand jury, then in in session, wanted the books and papers of the Lake Washington Waterway Co.,, of which Gov. Sem pie was president. He refused to deliver them, hence the contempt. Gov. Semple said he was ready to go to jail. but his attorneys applied to the state supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus and the gov ernor retained his liberty.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Aug. e. 5.-The hour for
closing of to-day's stock market was
hailed with relief by the highly strung
members of the exchange. The day
was one of excitement and alarm. and
the fading away of prices of securities
was so rapid and comprehensive as to
arouse grave fears of the consequences
The announcements of two failures was
the actual disasters to develop, and
neither of these was a surprise.
Some of the days liquidation was
supposed to be of collateral on the
loans of the failed firms, although it
was officially announced in one case
that the creditors had decided to with
hold the collateral from the market IN
it's present condition. IT was evident
that a very general closing out of col
lateral in loans was in progress and
much of it was allowed to go for what
it would bring. As the demand for
stocks is still exceedingly light the
natural result was Generalization of
the market and the pressure grew more
acute by the reactionary effect of the
selling in forcing a shrinkage of the
collateral in other loans. So far as
the news of the day was concerned
there was very slender basis for the
sacrifice of securities beyond the un-
easy sense that collateral could not be
desire to convert it into ready money.
This is the essence of Generalization In
any market. and 1t had it's natural re-
suit to-day.
Speculation was at the high pitch at
the opening and decentralization was
prevented at that time only by the
most vigorous and determined support
on the part of banking interests and
market managers for various promf-
ont Hfl Apf.
oially notable in the United States
Steel stocks. and succeeded in raising
the price of the common a point and
the preferred IA over last nights level.
The support of these stocks was helped
by the fact that some of the develop
ments which were feared from yester-
days meeting of directors did not oc-
cur. AS the weakness of these stocks
was a potent factor in the weakness of
yesterdays market. the strong support
accorded them this morning had a
soothing effect on sentiment. The re-
suit was a pretty general recovery from
the opening declines. Then came the
announcement OF the first failure. that
of an important house with commit
ments in a variety of stocks. From
that time until the close. the liquida-
tion was internationally pursued with
occasional rallies on short covering.
There was an eager rush 10 cover

but even then there were renewed
breaks at other points and the closing
was extremely nervous and excited
with very irregular fluctuations. The
United States Steel stocks suffered
comparatively small losses but both
the common and preferred and the
sinking fund per cent. bonds touched
low record prices during the day. The

narter and Coo Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 5.-The market was
higher this morning by to Is points,
the latter for August. Cables were
better and there seems to be some
uneasiness in Liverpool because the
crop was not making better progress,
although there is not much doing of
late, the situation is such that it
would require little to produce a big
scare and active buying. In fact, I'M
less cotton soon turns uD it is hard
to see what is going to prevent active
buying by mills who, in most cases,
are so short of supplies that they will
be compelled either to shut down or
enter the market lest by deferring they
should be compelled to pay much dear
err prices month hence. Every day
seems to strengthen the winter months
and the belief is gaining ground that
we must either see the crop doing very
much better or prices advance sharp
ly. Weakness in stocks during the
forenoon caused the withdrawal of
support in cotton for the time being
Receipts are so light and there is so
little evidence of a good movement
before the end of September, at least,
that shorts are likely to grow nervous
before a great while. Gables were 4
to higher to-day. There was no rain

Augusta. Port receipts 100, against
1,400 last year.

TURPENTINE-The turpentine mar
ket gave promise of better things to-
day. closing with the tone firm and
the disposition more pronounced among
exporters to take the offerings. The
opening was firm at ACC, sales 951 casks,
and the closing firm at 491ac, sales $50
casks. After the closing the demand
was good, and most of the offerings
were taken at the official figure. Some
called the undertone rather easy ow-
ing to the greater desire among ex-
porters for Coast Line and Seaboard
receipts, which left Central receipts
begging to some extent. Towards the
closing 1t looked like there were not
enough at the preferred terminals to
go around, and there was talk then
of securing supplies from the Cen
trail, which indicated the possibility
of the absorption of the turpentine
there. Sentiment inclines to the be-
lief that following it's reaction the
market may from now on gather
strength that will bring about fur

ceipts were $40 casks, and the exports

The future market was steady at
the opening, with prices 2 to points
above yesterdays closing; thereafter
the list improved a few points. The
higher prices at the opening were
caused by better Liverpool than was
expected, and some professional buy
ing. Weather reports were also favor
able. These features gave the local
market a quiet tone and also shaved
off the advance of the opening and
sent prices below the closing of yes
terday. The downward trend contin-
ued to the close, when the list showed
net losses of points on August, %

the other positions.

by the unsettled condition of affairs
IN wall street and by the apparent
indifference or inability of the bull

New York. Aug. 5-Our market
opened with sales of January at, $3.50
9.S6c, CLOSED, 1860, and after selling
at 9.62@9.63c, ruled at 9S3c. at 1 p. m.
Liverpool responded quickly to the i'm
provement here yesterday afternoon.
In fact, the strength of the position
lies in the statistical position in Liver
pool, where the stock is very small
and there are large concentrated hold
ings of September-October. The weak
feature is the continued improvement
in the crop, due to favorable weather.
After the advance at the opening the
market slowly sold off before noon to
the closing prices on some quiet real
izing by the buyers of yesterday.
Weakness in Wall street affected the
local trading, but the trade expects
continued support to the market from
the bulls who hold our stock. 1t is
reported they are now selling to spin
ners. A large sale having been nego-
tiated, with Fall river. In the last

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed firm, with no sales
nor receipts. No interest was ex-
pressed in any quarter and the day
closed without feature. The f. o. b.
brokers were alert, and efforts were
being made to supply spot cotton
through the markets where stocks are
held. Offerings came to local brokers
from New Orleans holders, and some
trading was done. The actual stuff
is in demand, and the way mills are
taking in on some localities indicates
the proba bility of much of the old stock
being taken, even though at fancy
prices.

quotations at the close of the market
