The department of state announces that tomorrow, if possible, Spain will be given an answer to her note regard ing peace as presented by M. Cambon, the French ambassador. As the ap plication for peace only makes a plea in a general way, with no suggestions or sped fie statements, it Is evident that the Madiid government first wants to find out whether or not the United States Is willing to enter upon an ar mistice until terms can be talked over, ana ll is mis oniy mat ine ueparimeuv of stale can ans wer.

It contains only about 1000 inhabitants but shipped 2,500,000 bushels of wheat last year. This year it will ship 3,000, 000. Barley over there is worth 75 to 80 cents per hundred weight, 24,000 bushels having recently been sold at the latter figure. From one end of the land to the other it has been published that the United States would have this year the greatest surplus of wheat for export in its history. The result Is the price of wheat has been sffecUd. '1 be crop, however, promise to tall far below ex pectations and the demand for wheat will likely stlflen In consequence.

His estate has now been sold and the entire re ceipts were fllO.OOO, which will pay only about 60 per cent ol the claims against the estate.
