MARINE INTELLIGENCE. (Incor Nampa Coastwise Sailors Hiiti lor Each Other. Two dangerous wrecks now lie in the path of coasting vessels, either of which is at any time liable to cause a serious acci dent should a vessel strike It. The wrecks are those of the schooners Charles P. Not man, sunk by the steamship Colorado, and the Frank S. Hall, cut down by the Brit ish" steamship Bermuda. About six miles southeast by east from the Northeast End lightship the Notman lies sunk in fifteen fathoms of water, with her topmasts, with sails set, above the water. The Hall lies sunk off Winter Quarter lightship. Capt. R. H. Bertram, representing the purchasers of the bark Oracle, received a telegram yesterday from the American Towing and Lighterage Company of Bal timore announcing that the tug Sampson left Baltimore Saturday for this port and is expected to arrive here Tuesday to tow the Oracle to Baltimore. Seamen have queer names hv which they designate the different i atio a Lies and na. •iviiles of the members of the craft and the coastwise mariners have their share. An old schooner captain, who was spin ning yarns in the pilot's office one last week, hit upon this topic: “I’ll bet you can't tell what I am?" he remarked to his auditors. “A tarheel.v hazarded one of the party. “Not much," replied the captain. “I am a corn cracker.” "What’s that?" inquired a landsman in the party. “Why, a corn cracker is a Delawarean, of douree,” replied the captain. "We coastwise people have names for the peo ple of all the states which furnish sail ors for the coasting trade. A Jerseyman is a sand Spaniard, a Marylander is a 'bean shooter,' a Virginian is a gravedigger and a North Carolinian is a tarheel.” “Don't ask me how these names origi nated," he continued. “They were in use before my time and I am getting gray headed." Nobody had anything to add to this and the schooner captain next inquired of a pilot if he could tell him the difference between a Delawarean and a Jerseyman. The pilot gave It up and the captain vol unteered the information. "A Delewarean sells what he can’t eat and a Jerseyman eats what he can't sell." said he, "and that sizes the people of the two states up to a gnat's hqel." The captain was about to tell a story of the greatest yarn spinner he ever knew, but a call from the towboat office cut him off and the story was left over until the next trip. Savannah Almanac.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW. Cotton Qnlet and Easier—Stocks Dull ' and Weak—Wheat Strong-. The cotton market ruled only moderate ly active, yet fluctuations were fair, prices were weak, early August falling nearly 20 points, to B.lßc on Tuesday. By Thursday the market recovered to 8.42 c, but an easier feeling again ensued and the close was 8.33 c, a decline of 4 points. October closed 8 points lower, at 7.65 c. Crop reports were generally of a more favorable character, especially from Tex as and this section; but rains were ex cessive in the Mississippi valley, causing complaints of damage from that productive territory. The bureau report on Monday was about as expected, except, perhaps, that the con dition was a little better than most peo ple looked for. The average increase was put at a trifle under 9 per cent., making the total the largest on record, which appears in accordance with the general idea. The dry goods trade shows no improvement, being at the moment under somewhat fur ther depression, owing to the serious na ture of the Chinese crisis. There is still some talk of an anticipated July or August corner; barring this possibility, the out look would seem to be for lower prices as the crop development progresses. Stocks were dull/with irregular changes until on Saturday, when, under heavier sales, prices gave way sharply. The weak ness was caused by the reports of serious injurv to the spring wheat crop, which was accentuated by disappointment over the Northern Pacific dividend. This stock was a leader, and declined 6 or 7 points. There was also further gloomy talk over Iron and steel prospects, and the bears were additionally reinforced by the very alarming rumors from China. The close was weak, and some further decline seems probable. Wheat was strong on highly-colored crop damage reports, despite, a favorable gov ernment report, and rains In ihe dry states. July close*.’ over 4- higher, at 75V*C- Pro visions were quite weak early, but later turned strong, mostly In sympathy with wheat. July ribs sold down to $6.50. clos ing at $6.70. 15c lower for the week. Would not now favor buying wheat except on good reactions. Wm. T. Williams. COTTON. In a circular leUer, dated June 14, A. S. Johnston of Meridian, Miss., after re viewing the crop conditions and calling special attention to the excess of rain fall, has the following to say; "The 35 per cent., which, by heroic ef forts, was planted early, and received the benefits of dry weather between May 1 and the 25th, has not been disturbed by excessive moisture, but It has encoun- THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1000. tered in many instances a scarcity of labor to keep down the growth of gTass and weeds, which, to a large extent, has enveloped nc* only it, but also the remain ing 65 per cent. “With the above facts in view. It would not be amiss to figure upon the proba bilities of the size of the crop. To com mence with, we will accept the govern ment figures as correct, both as to acre age and conditions. There is no reason why we should not; they were eminently so last year. If we assume their ac curacy, then it can be shown that a crop of 11.000,000 cannot be expected. Assum ing the present crop to be 9,200,000, with 8.7 Increase in acreage, and allowing 10 per cent, greater yield than last season, would only give about 10,900.000. This 10 per cent, greater yield, present prospects lead us to believe. Is more than can be expect ed, and If it Is realized, we now say that it. will require another freak of nature after Sept. 1 in the shape of weather con ditions such as we had after that date in 1898, when the crop of 11,250,000 bales was produced. “We all know the danger of a drought during July and August, so It is useless to mention the effects of one here. It Is well enough to note that my calculations as to a probable yield of 10 per cent, greater than last year are made with a view of our escaping a disaster in the shape of a drought during July and Air gust. Should this crop meet with a sim ilar fate as the crop of 1899-1900 during August, the world would face conditions In regard to supplies unparalleled In the history of the trade, as It must not be forgotten that a crop of eleven to eleven and one-half millions is almost a neces sity for the season of 1900-1901."

New York, June 16.—Wall street, though not in a pessimistic mood, is Just now oc cupied in discouming unfavorable possi bilities. While intrinsic conditions are sound and promising, there are sufficient uncertainties to defer a continuance of the upward movement and permit limited efforts for the decline. The most im portant obstacle just now is the approach of the presidential campaign, which has much more effect upon speculative than upon ordinary business transactions; the latter suffering little interference, as sta tistics amply show, even when political agitation is unusually sharp. All indica tions point to a very quiet election, con sidering its importance. Of course, spec ulation has been much more aciive Ihe last two years than usual, but it has not been marked by the excesses that are usu ally the first signals of coming collapse In the industrials where the danger of such excesses were greatest, speculation has been kept wlihin hounds by the action of the banks and the repeated warnings of commission house* of high standing, as Fell as by many influential newspapers. Many of these stocks are selling to-day. much below the price of iscue; but the losers, as a rule, are not those who bought at higher prices, but the original holders who failed to sell their over-wa tered product. It is fortunate indeed that such an unwholesome speculative move ment as the booming and selling of the industrials has failed. Heavy iosse* may fall somewhere, but so long as they ore confined to original sources they will not be greatly regretted, and Inasmuch as they often represent failure to cash paper profits little harm will bo done. The in dustrials will have enough to do In meet ing new competition, In avoiding overpro duction and in paying obligations on over capitalized properties without venturing upon the vicissitudes and quicksands of speculation. One very satisfactory evi dence of prosperity is the continued large exports, amounting to ti11,296,(00 last May, against *91,250,000 a year ago. Our Imports during the same month were *71.655.000, compared with $70,160,000 last year. This left an excess of export* amounting to s4!.9i",oiy'. against *23.680.000 in 1899; and a considerable portion of litis excert; was due to the rapid increase- in exports of Ameri can manufacture*. , —A Dark Secret—Foreigner—"How are your senator* elected’’" American—“ None of them will tell."—Puck.

From 1850 to 1861 lie was In suc cession. a law student, lawyer and edl tor. at Mansfield. 0.. and participated ac tively In the changing politics of thoso years which culminated in the formation of the Republican party, at the Plttsbu convention of 1856, and the election . t Abraham Lincoln in 1860. At Plttshur, Gen. Brlnkerhoff was the youngest dele gate from Ohio, and his description ol t|at epdeh-making convention is exceed ingly interesting and instructive. In 1811 when the war broke out, he entered the ormy and for five full years was an offi cer of th quartermaster’s department at the front, and at Important stations west and east, and when the war closed he was on duty at Washington city On April 13. 1865, he participated in the trlmuphnl pageants which have never been equaled before or since upon the American continent, and on the night of April 14. he was at Ford's Thea'er, and witnessed the awful tragedy of the as anssination of President Lincoln, and It's description of these event* is exceeding ly realisilc and thrilling. In 1873. Gen. Brlnkerhoff retired from active politics and necepted the poait'on of cashier of the Mansfield Havings Bank, with which he hits been associated ever since, and for years past has been Its president. In 1878. Gen. Brlnkerhoff watt appointed a member of the Board of State Charities, and has continued In that position under all adm!nl“trations, and Is now serving his eighth term.

II Hume fully sustains the reputation he won by his story, "The Mystery of a Hansom Cub." 11l "Bishop Pendla,” while there Is no failing off in plot and style, there Is n welcome and marvelous broad ening out as to the cast of characters, representing an unusually wide range of typical men and women. These are not laboriously described by the author, but are made to reveal themselves In action and speech in a way that has, for the reader, all the rharm of persona! inter course with living people. Mr. Hume's treatment of the peculiar and exclusive ecclesiastical society of a small F.ngllsh cathedral city Is quite worthy of An thony Trollope, and his leading charac ter, Bishop TVtidle, is equal to Trollope’s best bishop. The Rev. Mr. Cargrlm, the Bishop's poor and most unworthy pro tege. Is a meaner Uriah Heep. Ail In ail, this story Is rich In the essential ele ments of worthy fiction. FEAHFIL ELECTRIC STORMS.
