Wheat was fcvorlBl xvlth sudden nml wldo lluctuatluns , covcrlni a rnngo of from 2Uc nbovo to l * c below th < closing figures of Saturday , and closing \ lower. Corn wn weak throughout nm cose l l4c lower. 1'ork was bulled by coun try buying at the start , but eased oft nm closed nt 20c gain. The session commenced with the no\ dally repeated extravagant excitement li the wheat pit. Thu bulls already held th whole of the grain In the visible supply nn bought for future delivery all that will b harvested from the growing crop , and wer Btlll clamorous for more. The beats shoute for some of It ; It came high , but they hate to have It. July wheat , which barely coul lie sold for 79&C at noon on Saturday , read lly brought from W.fcc up to 81'ic at th opening this morning. The most generall current price at the start was 804c. . Kror that point It rose In a few minutes to 81 > 4 nnd dropped back again to M'/fec. It Htarte up again and for the second time It louche fil&c. Heavy orders ceased coming afte that , and with the slackening up of bus ness the price declined to " 91ic. The pile continued to rush up and down In the inos nervous manner. The one minute scllet wcro everywhere and buyers seemed t have dropped out of the market. In tli next there would bo no sellers , while th crowd of buyers competed with each othc In the rapidity with which they advance \thclr bids. At times stoj ) loss orders coul not bo filled within from % c to Use per bi of the limit. The changing aspect of tli visible Bupply had much to do with tli feverish changes In the price of whea When New York stocks were given at UOj 000 bu. more than they amounted to a wet ago the price had Its tumble to 7'JVic , ar when a total dccrcano nt nil points of nboi 2,000,000 bu. seemed likely the prlco took n upward shoot to 80-c , climbing to that fro : 7l ! < ic In about ten minutes.

The realization of a 2,000,0 bu. decrease In the visible appeared for tltno as If It had been discounted by tl advance to 80 > ie , because although It wi fpund when the llgurcs were all In that tl actual falling off of the week was 2,210,0 bu. , the market did not rally for some tin more thnn about 'Kic ' , although a little lat < It was up to 8U'ic. The Liverpool mark was tiuotcd from Hid to 2d per cent higher for futures , with a heavy specul tivo demand retried by the private cable The great feature of the news , howevc was that which had reference to the dome tic crop situation nnd the visible suppl The latter did not permanently Inlluem the market , and neither did the news damaging frosts In some parts ( if the nort west and crop damage reports from Indlai of the most distressing description. Tl feeling began to spread that buying ctith Blasrn was about over nnd was corroborati by the fact that country orders today we principally for fives und tens Instead lifty and 100,000 lots , as for some time bac The foreign shipments for the week we heavy , and that , together with rumors Oregon wheat on the way to Kansas CI and St. Louis , added to the bearish ( Velln which prevailed nil nfternoon. The prl In the last half hour kept dropping to ne 78c , and rushing up npnln to about 79c eve few mlnutrs. The lowest It touched w 7SUc , , nnd It closed nt 7S ic. Corn suffered from , the Inspection In store of 1,321 car loads since Saturday , ni estimated receipts for tomorrow of 1,1 cars. The cash demand was slack nnd on elevator people seemed to wnnt the offi Ings. Argentine shipped 102,000 bu. la week. Now York reported four loads sc there for export today. The visible I creased 1,411,000 bu , for the week , compar with n decrease of 626,000 bu. on the cc responding week last yeai * . The openl prlco for July was from KVHc to G3)4c , a the highest price of the day was made that time. The lowest point made near t end was 02' c , and It closed at G2c bid Oats were active with ft heavy buslne transacted. I'rlces at the close were frc % c toio under Saturday's last trar actions. The provision market opened weak a : lower on account of the day's run of ho numbering 41,000 head. Those heavy i cclpts appeared to have been calculated the bears to maku a heavy market ; hen enough to permit them to cover thi shorts without causing the price to rccov while they did so. In that they were m taken , while It took very little buying the decline by the bulls to cause a live reaction and convert n bearish Into n bu Ish market. 1'ork , from an early break 7Hc. rose to 42'fcc , and closed with a r caln of 17Hc.

WHOLESALE RAVAGES IN ALASKAN RIV RS Slaughtered lloforo They Cuu Krncli the Simuuliii ; ( IrnumljVccUly Cknu Stm- sou buggotcd fiito of the Hut- fnlo n nil Sculs for the ri > h. WASHINGTON , May 27. The rapid In roads which fishing and packing companies have made upon the supply ot salmon In the Alaskan rivers has given great concern to the government since It became evident thnt the fish were destined to the same fata of extermination which has overtaken tlio buftalo and Is being Inflicted upon the fur- bearing seals of the northern waters. All the attempts to secure effective restraining legislation from congress have proven prac tically without result , but a new pliaso ot the canning syndicate's operations Is now engaging the attention of the land offlco which may result In measures that will have the effect of restricting the enterprise of some ot the companies engaged In tlio busi ness. ness.H H lias recently been brought to the atten tion of Commissioner Lamoreux of the gen eral land ofllco that the salmon packers arc acquiring much land at the mouths of rivers where tliey arc engaged In prompt ing statcgic points of ( uturo commerce. Consequently the department has detailed J. N. Swlncford , an cx-govcrument em ploye ot Alaska , who Is now an Inspector of the Interior department , to make an In vestigation of the matter and keep the de partment posted , that It may know that all the requirements o the law are compiled with. The cannery companies have asked that surveys be made by the government of lands onhlch they have settled , ttlth a view to their acquisition. Mr. Swlneford will sail from Seattle for Alaska on the 25th. The present governor of Alaska In his last report to the secro'ary of the Interior called attention to the Inroads being made upon tlio salmon and the same subject was treated In a report In the Fifty-second con gress by Fish Commissioner McDonald. Mr. McDonald then recommended that some or all of the following measures bo adopted for the protection of the fish : 1. A weekly close season from Saturday evening to Monday morning. 2. A yearly close season during September and October. 3. Tlio establishment of salmon reserva tions. 4. Absolute prohibition of salmon fishing within 100 yards of the mouth of a river. 5. Absolute prohibition of the use of more than one seine In tlio same selno berth. 6. Leasing of privileges and limitations. NO LAWS TO ENFOnCB. There Is practically no law to bo enforced , however , for tlio only legislation ever adopted was an act of 18S9 prohibiting the erection of dams or obstructions to prevent tlio ascent of salmon to their spawning grounds , and It Is rather difficult to carry this Into effect since all Inspection has to bo done by one agent of the Treasury depart ment. Dr. Hugh Smith , one of the experts of the fish commission , believes the extinction of the Alaskan fish Is Inevitable If the present ravages continue unchecked. Every fish that swims , ho says , can bo caught at the mouths of the rivers , and as a matter of fact few salmon now reach the old spawning grounds in the rivers of Alaska. More than half the salmon pack of the United States and nearly half of the world's supply now comes from Alaska. It will be shown In a paper to bo prepared for publi cation by Dr. William A. Wllcox f > l the fish commission that tbe capital Invested In these species amounts to more than $3,000- 000 and the value of the season's catch , not Including the manufacturing products there from , comes to about $2,000,000. Last year there were twenty-two canneries In opera tion \\lilch packed 646,000 cases ( a cuss hold ing forty-eight pound packages ) and twenty- four salting establishments put on the market 21.000 barrels of salt salmon. The largest pack which has been made In Alaskan waters was that of 1S91 , when 800,000 cases , the equivalent of 56,000,000 pounds of salmon as they are taken from the water , were shipped to the markets of the Pacific coast for distribution. The proportions which the business had then reached alarmed the com panies engaged In It , so that to prevent Injurious competition an agreement was made to limit the output to little more than one-half of the capacity of the works. In 1891 the number of men employed was 4.747 , and In 1892 It was reduced to 2,884. Even with this combination In effect the fish-have been killed oft from year to year so that the supply Is surely and rapidly decreasing The greater part of the catch Is rnado at the mouth of the Karluk river. Officials of the department assert that the manner of using the seines Is reprehensible , ono being placed behind another , so that practically all of the fish arc captured at the mouths of the rivers. Thus they are prevented from reaching their spawning grounds and their reproduction Is prevented. It was only after the salmon fisheries of the Columbia and other Pacific rivers bad been greatly overworked tbat resort was had to the products of the Alaskan rivers. The government was awakened at a late day to Its negligence In falling _ to restrict the fishermen of Oregon and Washington. Now a weekly closed Btason Is In effect on the waters of these states. Cod and herring are already being caught In small quanti ties and there la much opportunity for enter prise In the development ot new fisheries. The fish commission has collected much In formation concerning the food fish ot Alaska , which shows that there are many undeveloped fisheries furnishing great com mercial possibilities for the future.

Thcro was a gen eral resumption of work In the mines of this district this morning , the strike having been declared lost by the United Mine Workers officials. The strikers are trying to get their former places back again and most of them have succeeded. Some of the mines have not yet started. A majority of the river mines have closed down owing to low water and tbero are plenty of minors for all the work. This has led the operators to make use of their victory to dictate terms to tile men. It la expected that they will not offer less than CO cents per ton. But they may Insist upon Ironclad contracts and hold back 10 per cent to Insure a fulfillment of them. at ( j&l & l j l l l lM f , ® No Waiting , No Wondering j nil ts. if they'll Fit. } St. St.en en an ic. id ; BRAND u- er- MARK. . . .
