I was long about 1,200,000 on rye, 500,000 ou wheat and 000,000 on corn and onts.

Members of the Board iutcrested In breaking the rye market sent 'notices calling for au extract margin at 10 per cent on ryei This naturally caused selling orders Monday, and forced the market down cents. This was dono In a moment and the news which Hashed oyer tha country caused consternation among holders of rye contuicts who sold on a weak market. A decline of one cent in wheat coupled what rumors reflecting ou my strength resulted In unusually heavy calls for margaliis. I was for tho moment unprepared and tho only alternative left was to close out I have no excuses to offer and no complaints to make." All grains were panicky today and tho tnullng was furious, bears anil bulls -working like mad men. There was a general decline In price.

At a coufeicucc Just held between Sir Thomas and his advisers, defluite arrangements were made for the construction of the Shamrock III, nnd an order for the new yacht was given to' and accepted by Mr. Fire.

In view of the probability of a big revival of British yachting, and the fact that designing and superintending a cup- challenger necessitates constant work for at least a i year, Mr. Fife was somewhat t'o accept tho but Sir. Thomas found mpans of overcoming "his objections. Geo. L.

AVutson has promised to assist Mr. Fife In every way, by handing over to" him the details of the construction of the Shamrock II, and all the calculations and details of the tank experiments made at the Denny AVItli these and the experience gained with the Shamrock Fife stands with a distinct advantage over his tirst effoits. Mr. Fife is already collecting materials and will commence designing the Shamrock III as soon as boats now planned for the next British yachting season are fnlily started, which probably will bo the end of this month. The Shamrock I II Is to be ready early In the spring of JfXM.

A Wonderful Spring Whose Water Made Money For a Boston Township Farmer. Since Summit county has gained prominence In the salt business, it may bo interesting to know something about the' tlrst salt industry In the comity.

This flourished, awny back In tile thirties, a mile southeast of Peninsula, It was originally a "deer-lick," but hunters found out that tho water running from a certain spring could be boiled down nnd converted Into salt. Not long after this, discovery, tho owner or tho land, who secured It from the Connecticut Land built a shanty near tho spring, purchased a large kettle' and went Into tlio salt business. For some time tlio water was merely boiled down to a brine, and sold for curing meats. Later It was bolleu Brother's Death. Itov.

Carnegie's treasurer will take care of bills as thoy aie presented by the contractors wlio may do the work of building. This Is said to be the method em-plojed by Mr. Carnegie in all cafes where he has presented money for a building, and is intended as a precaution against the ixwfible tic of a portion of his gltt for other purposes than that for which It has given.
