UNLOCKING THE HOARDS OF GOLD
Certainty of MeKlalej'l Kleetion Shown
In the First "Wave of Return
ing; Prosperity.
Xew York, Sept. 25. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review" of trade will say to
morrow :
A very moderate and distinct im
provement is seen, no longer in the buy
ing of materials, which continues at suff
er prices, but also in orders for prod
ucts of some industries, in money mar
kets and in export of staples, and it is
yet littla more than a step towards 'bet
ter things, but has already started some
important works and prompted a few
considerable contracts.
Continuing arrivals of gold have
raised the treasury reserve about 4125,
000,000, strengthened the banks and re
laxed the stringency in commercial
loans, o that at about 1 per cent lower
rates more business . was done than in
three previous weeks. Hoarding is no
longer reported, but same hoards are
being unlocked.
The movement of crops continues
large, and purchasers for exports have
advanced prices or prevented depression.
While the Rain in -working force is not
great, it seems clear that, for the first
time in many months, there is some
gain. An important change is the gen
eral advance in produce, and especially
in wheat, which rose sharply on Thurs
day and Friday, closing 5Jc higher for
the week, with much buying, apparently
for foreign account.
Reports of crops abroad were supposed
to be the chief cause, as visible supplies
in this country increased largely ; but
for the first time since July, receipts fell
below those of the same week last year.
They are still large, and for the first
quarter of the crop thus far have been
52,721,158 bushels against 40,414,351 last
year, a gain of about 30 per cent, and it
is conceivable but cannot be considered
quite probable that such receipts have
come from a crop smaller than last
year's, although prices averaged lOJc
in July and 6.8 lower in August than
last year. -

Support of the Ottoman
Bmplre.
Paris, Sept. 25. "It is high time that
some protest was ' made against the
frenzy which has seized a large portion
of the British press and the British pub
lic with regard to Turkish affairs."
- Such are the weighty words of Sir
Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, M. P., in a long
and interesting letter on the Armenian
-question. Sir Ellis says among other
things: '
"So far from the Turks being the in-
. human monsters depicted by Mr. Glad'
stone and other fanatics, who are en
deavoring by their frantic agitation to
cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. in
Europe, the Turks have a moderating
and restraining influence on' all Strug'
. gling and warring non-Mussulman races,
who but for Turkish control would have
exterminated each other Ions ago."
The great danger to the Ottoman em
pire, he affirms, is the risk of an out
break of religions and race fanaticism
which statesmen have foreseen and have
always striven to avert. Such fanaticism
wan aroused by the Armenian outbreak
in 1895, and its result was an outburst of
fury that cost the lives of thousands of
innocent Armenians with all the attend
ant horrors that were so dwelt upon in
the English press.
Sir EUis calls on the fanatical agita
. tors to recollect that the lives of mil
lions ot Ottoman Christians are at the
mercy of the Mussulmansof Asia. Minor ;
that the queen of England has 70,000,000
Mussulman subjects in India and their
most important ally, the emir ot Af
ghanistan, is also a Mohammedan ; also
' with one or two socialistic exceptions,
the intelligent press of Europe is pro
testing against the "atrocity" agitation
in England.
"Fortunately," he concludes, "there
is enough statesmanship and common
sense left among the nations and gov
The Yale News Apologizes.
New Haven, Sept. 25. The Yale
News has the following editorial com
menting on the disturbance at the Bryan
meeting yeeterday :
"The Yale News must deprecate the
spirit of 'horse-play' this Is the true
light in which the animus must be re
garded which promoted the demonstra
tion at yesterday's political meetings.
The action of Yale men present plainly
showed a lack of respect for the dignity
of the speaker as a public man, every
thing political aside. A caretnl and
fair-minded consideration by any one
will unanimously condemn and regret
the exhibition irrespective of party
affiliations. Yale was the foster mother
of Illinois college, where W. J. Bryan
graduated. Illinois college was founded
by a party of graduates from Yale, and
has always looked npon Yale as its
parent institution.'

The wheat yield of Umatilla county
will be at least 4,000,000 bushels this

less than the average crop.
An eastern exchange suggests that the

Indians who rode into Harney county
with the intention to do a lot of hunting
this fall were told to "clatawa" by the

good policy to leave the grizzled pioneers
