WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Dawning, Hopkins A Company's Itavls
of Trade.
There was a large and rapid advance
in Die pricea of wheat during the past
week with prospects of a higher rang
of prices the rent of tha year. Spot
wheat la difficult to get, even at a pre;
mium and the demand is prtwsing for
old wheat; 1,045,000 bushels hava been
taken in Chicago this week for prompt
and future shipment on foreign order
the bulk of which was titkon at tlm
advanca early In the week.
This general advanns is mors the out
come of tlia haml-to-mouth consump
tion of twelve months overtaking tin
small stocks both here and in Europe,
as we have pointed out time and again,
thrtn of sWt European crops now being
ieed. Prosperity is coming, In the
fiict that tho European consumer is pay
ing the Amerioan farmer a better price
than tha majority f speculators put
upon the wheat.. Tha actual value of
tha new crop is 80 oenta higher thun
the professional short seller made it In
June, when they were selling Septem
ber freely at 83. oenU, aud the farmer,
is to be oongrs u luted that this advance
comes before the grain leaves his handa,
And so long as the legitimate demnntlt
keeps the spot wheat at a premium, no
combination or monopoly oan profitably
depress tha futures, as the experiences
of the past sia montlia have proved.
So, for the near future, it will b safa
to pa? wheat on each decline, as tl

We have never believed that It would
pay to detassel corn In order to save tbe
plant vigor and strength required to
perfect tbe male blossom. It would In
the first place Involve too much labor,
and we or ukl never see tbat tbe stalk
from which tassels had been removed
were any more prolific than others.
What used to be known as topping
com, which means cutting off all above
tbe ear. Is a certain Injury to tbe crop.
It used to be done to let the sun reach
tbe ear. But the ear needed all ttfe
foliage that tbe stalk was deprived of
In order to perfect Its grain. Besides,
It has long been recognized tbat these
thin toppings of corn have far leas
sweetness and nutrition than haa tbe
larger part of the stalk below them. At
earing time tbe richest part of the stalk
will be tbe middle, and as close to tbe
ear as possible. Give s cow a cornstalk
