NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock market here opened unchanged after Saturday’s holiday, the feature being a resumption of the boom in Americans Initiated by New York. The support of Amerfcans here is still small and mainly professional, but the Continent buyers and Berlin continge to support Northern Fa cific common. It is generally urged that the boom in Americans is being started at the Wrong moment; that is to say, the public is | apathetic and away on summer holldays, and that on their return they will find prices too high for them. The reverse, however, is quite as likely, as the English public invariably join in a speculation at the last moment and When prices are top-heavy. After a temporary | relapse prices for Americans closed booming | in the street, St. Paul leading. The other mar- kets ‘were featureless.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22—The Liverpool market | was 1%d lower before the opening here than | it closed last week. That added to the bear- ishness previously prevailing, and when just before the session opened it became known that the day's receipts at Minneapolis and Du- luth were 939 cars, compared with 315 the cor- | responding day of last year, the desire to sell wheat at the start recelved a fresh stimulus. It was under such eircumstances that Septem- ber wheat opened with sellers at from 62%c down to 62%c, compared with 63%c at the close Saturday. At the decline there was not a short in the trade but bad a good profit, and it | was a_most natural proceeding for a large num- ber of them to at once take action to secure it. From that source came buying enough to | cause a recovery in September to 63%c about half an hour from the start. The price of Sep- tember kept on the rise during the forenoon until it struck §3sc for an instant. December | kept following September at from 1%c to 1ic | | discount. As soon as the most urgent shorts had covered and withdrawn, however, the market again got dull and weak. Atlantic port clear- ances of wheat and flour since Saturday were | smaller than the recent average. The total was 600,000 bushels. September closed %@'%c lower and December lost c. i Brilliant weather, large recelpts and free sales of cash by the country demoralized corn.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Journal of Com- ‘merce says: The season in California for or- anges has continued much longer this season than usual. Fifteen carloads were sold last week, and it is predicted that there will be | arrivals until the new season commences, and | that in any event there will be receipts as late as October. Up to last accounts 14,650 carloads of California oranges had been shipped from that State this season, compared with 7200 cars during the whole of the previous sea- son. The coming crop is variously estimated at | that from 14,000 to 17,000 carioads, or from 5,000,000 o 5,500,000 boxes, which would be about the same as the last record year of Florida, when oranges from that State were in the -1, As to Florida oranges a crop of about 300,000 boxes is predicted for the coming season. It is said . proctically the entire crop will be pur- on the trees before maturity. . CALIFORNIA FRUIT SALES.

PORT GAMBLE — Arrived Aug 22—Bkin Quickstep from Port Townsend; schr Marie B for As our navy is now the object of w. orld- wide admiration and the subject of dis- cusl?mn ‘ljn all manner of company, it is well to be set right on certain tect terms descriptive of s militant ohmear vhen we speak of a fleet th understand us fo mean & company . of twelve or more battle-ships. A mosquito fleet 1s composed of twelve or more small boats. A squadron is composed of less than twelve battle-ships, and is often part of a fleet, such as the van, center or {;fl;\;v‘ieqlloadron. A l'l(nfllfl.f is composed of r more men-of-war, some of which may be battle-ships. According to these definitions the Unit- ed States have no_fleet; neither has Spain. Admiral Dewey commands a squadron. The ships destroved and cap- tured from Montejo in Manila Bay com- posed a_squadron. Admiral Sampson commands a flotilla. Admiral Cervera commanded and Admiral Camara com- mands a squadron. Not until we expend a great deal more money for battle-ships than is now being put into that character of craft can we properly claim to have a fleet under the most formidable concentration we could make of our navy. In a few years, how- ever, we will have enough battle-ships of the first class to compose a fleet.—St. Louis Republic. THE CALL CALENDAR. August, 1898, sa | Moon's Phases . Fuall Mooa. Angust 1.
