REPEAL SHERMAN LAW
Ex-Senator Edmunds Is in Fayor of
Doing So.
TRAIN" SAVED BY A WOMAN
A Handsome Purse of Money Made
up and Presented to
the Heroine.
New York, June 21. An interview
with ex-Senator Gaorge F. Edmunds is
printed, in which he says : "I have no
objection to the proposed repeal of the
Sherman law. and a return to the mone
tary laws which existed before 1873. I
doubt not the operation of the Sher
man law lias helped to bring about the
present crisis. When we passed the
Sherman act, we were between the devil
and the deep sea ; something had to be
done, as a crisis was pending. I voted
for the measure and am willing to take
my share of the responsibility, although
I was not personally in favor of it. A
canvass showed us that if we did not
pass the act the silver men would pass a
free-silver bill. About three-fourths of
the democrats and one-fourth of tbe re
publicans would have voted for a free
coinage bill. I voted for the Sherman
law to prevent a financial crisis or a
free-silver bill."
A Train Saved by a Woman.
Champagne, 111., June 21. What
might have been a most disastrous
wreck on the Illinois railway was pre
vented yesterday by a woman. The
New Orleans limited passenger train,
bound for Chicago with eight loaded
coaches, when near Rantoul, running
at a high rate of speed, was flagged by a
woman. As soon as the train came to a
stop the crew was informed that a short
distance ahead of them a trestle had
burned out. The passengers made up a
handsome purse of money and presented
it to the woman.
The Wave Subsiding;.
Washington, June 21. The financial
condition of the country, as viewed from
a treasury standpoint, shows general
improvement. Bank and commercial
failures are fewer ; Europe is buying our
grain in greater quantities ; gold ship
ments have ceased, at least for the pres
ent ; confidence is being restored, and
money is not so tight.
Treasury net gold has increased from
$89,000,000 to $94,300,000 and the de
mand for small money in the West will
have the effect to further increase the
treasury gold. The rate of exchange is
sufficiently high to warrant the ship
ment of gold abroad, but the fact that
commercial paper is for sale in London
has a deterrent effect.
There is a general feeling that tbe
worst is past, the weaker financial insti
tutions and business firms having suc
cumbed, while those who passed through
so far unscathed are the stronger for
having weathered the financial storm.
Ex-Presldent Sacasa an Exile.
New Yobk, June 21. The Herald's
Managua cable says : Ex-President Sa
casa left Nicaragua this morning. He
boarded a Genevan steamer at Corinto
and sailed for a northern port, where he
will be transferred to a Pacific Mail
steamship and proceed to San Francisco.
Although Sacasa was compelled to leave
Leon on account of the sentiment
against him because he was forced to
surrender, he was not moleeted during
his stay in Corinto.
Preparations are being made at Gran
ada for a great state ball which is to be
given United States Minister Baker as a
compliment for his services in acting as
mediator and presiding over the ses
sions of the peace commission, which
induced Sacasa to resign and thus end
the war.
Fastest On the Lakes.
Duluth, June 21. A message re
ceived by Capt. McDougall announces
the news that the Christopher Colum
bus, the firBt-of the passenger whale
backs, is the fastest boat on the lakes.
She made the run from Milwaukee to
Chicago, 97 miles, in 4 hours and 15
minutes, nearly 23 miles an hour.
The trip makes a new record for speed
on tbe Great Lakes.
Villard Resigned.
New Yobk, June 21. At a meeting of
the Northern Pacific railroad directors
today the, resignation of Henry Villard,
as chairman of the board, was accepted
and the office abolished. Hereafter the
president of the company will act as
chairman of the board. John D. Rocke
feller was elected a director.

MARKET RERORT.
Thursday, June 22d. The mercban
dise market continues quiet, with gen
eral operations yet conducted on a hand
to mouth basis. The volume of business
is considerably depressed by unfavorable
financial conditions, and a disposition to
keep within bounds is very marked.
The movement in dry goods is quiet, but
there is a fair retail trade in progress.
The grocery trade is steady on former
quotations, which are steady.
The general trade remains fairly
active, and prices continue unchanged.
The market is quite bare of sugar and a
slight feeling prevails that there will be
an advance in that staple owing to the
reports of a limited product. The pro
vision market is well stocked with a full
line of all kinds of provisions and prices
are favorable to the buyer.
Eggs and butter are in better demand
and are said to be growing scarcer and
firmer with a tendency to an advance.
In poultry ther& is a steady demand
for broilers and a fair inquiry for old
fowls, with a weaker market in sight.
The fruit and vegetable market con
tinues fairly active. Strawberries are
moving freely with a good demand for
shipment, and prices range from .04)2 to
05 cents per box by crate. Cherries are
coming into market in limited quanti
ties. Vegetables are in good supply and
prices are nominal.
Hides and sheep pelts are flat, and the
market is weak and indifferent. Furs
are active at an advance on some kinds.
The wheat market is more demoralized
than for some time past. Eastern and
European reports are not very encourag-
ng, as the following indicates. It is now
conceded that the product of this coun
try will average about 440,000 bushels
with a surplus of about 170,000,000 to
carry over into the next year, giving
fully 610,000,000 bushels against 555,000,-
000 last year. Reports from abroad in
dicate that there will be a better average
in foreign countries this year than has
been realized for the past two years. In
view of this outlook and the stringency
in finances in America, it is safe to say
that wheat markets will be dull and
heavy, and with little promise for satis
factory prices. The Dalles market quota
tion shows a sharp decline during the
week and we quote 45 to 50 cents per
bushel at the mills. Portland quotes
$1.02 and $1.02 per cental for Eastern
Oregon and $1, $1.12M and $1.13 for
valley.
The condition of our own wool market
is lifeless in character. Buyers efforts
for consignments are more frequent than
that for purchase. The tariff is waning
and other causes are the subject of com
ment. The Boston Advertiser of the
16th affords an insight into the situation
as it exists today :
The total receipts of wool at this port
during the past week comprise 11,095
bags and bales domestic and 318 bales
foreign, against 16,142 bags and bales
domestic; 702 bales . foreign for the same
time last year. The total receipts since
Jan. 1, 1892, comprise 197,284 bags and
bales domestic and 111,178 bales foreign,
against 188,737 bags and bales domestic
and 101,194 bales of foreign for the same
time in 1892.
The sales for the week comprise 1,000,-
000 lbs of domestic fleece and pulled,
and 324,000 lbs foreign, making the
week's transactions foot up 1,324,000 lbs,
against 800,000 lbs for the previous week
and 2,156,500 lbs domestic and 455,000
lbs foreign for the corresponding week
last year.
The sales this week foot up larger than
last, but this is due in most part to the
fact that lower prices have been accepted.
Tbe market is dull, and buyers are yet
indifferent and not stocking up in the
least, even at the low prices that they
are able to obtain. New wools are be
ginning to appear on the market, al
though the backward spring, and low
prices, have not been attractions strong
enough to cause any large shipments as
yet. Eastern dealers yet maintain their
low views regarding the future, and will
not put out their good money and take
chances, without the price is made low
enough to make them feel safe. Some
manufacturers are buying in the west
tempted by the low prices, but from re
ports received, it would appear that the
bulk of the new wool is still in growers
hands, and yet to be marketed.
The tone of the market is yet unset-
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest TJ. S. Gov't Report.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
tied and flat, with buyers showing no
inclination to name a price that they
will pay. The general talk is that it is
not safe to attempt to handle this clip
above the free wool basis for raw mater
ial. This sounds well, but no two per
sons appear able to agree as to what the
free wool basis will be. Some claim
that the free wool point has already
been reached, while others figure on
several cents more decline. The fact of
the matter is that owing to the dull
position of goods, but very little wool is
wanted at any price, and until buyers
get to the point where they feel that
they need supplies, it is very unprofit
able business attempting to induce them
to operate.
Territory wools have met with larger
sales, but it is yet mostly sample lots
that are being taken. Buyers are all at
sea as regards the price they are willing
to stock up at, and will only pick over
the market and try sample lots.
Dealers are putting out sample lots
wherever they can, and hoping for bids
that they can accept. Where a buyer
happens to strike a low test, he is more
disposed to make a bid that will be ac
cepted, and in this way some moderate
lots have been cleaned out. No one can
say what the scoured basis of wools is
at present, and two buyers have been
known to purchase from the same pile of
wool with their views fully 4 to 5 cents
apart as to what they were willing to
pay, and each thought that they were
getting the wool at their own price, the
test secured by each party being so much
different. Texas wools are quiet with
California wools dull and nominal.
Australian wools are quiet, for with
domestic wools on such a low basis man
ufacturers are doing little with the
foreign after the 11-cent duty is paid.
Domestic fleeces have fallen away from
Australians, and left the latter suspended
as it were, so that until the duty is re
moved or domestic grades are advanced
the foreign supplies can do but little in
competition. The market here is well
stocked, but the bulk of the supplies are
held in bond, where it can either be
held until wanted or else be shipped
back to Europe for a market. Some
holders are talking strongly of sending
their supplies back to London, and this
may be done to some extent, although it
will be wanted when the tariff has been
changed. Carpet wools are dull, but
values hold steady. The cholera in
different sections of Asia and Europe
where these wools are grown is liable to
make great changes in this year's im
portations. Prices abroad hold very
firm.

TLa Grippe.
During the prevalence of the grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr.
King's New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of tbe
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured
cases of asthma and hay fever of long
standing. Try it and be convinced. It
won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at
