Official Treasury Statement Concerning

at Pfcesent.'
New Yobk, Aug. 15. In view of the
reports of injury to the crops abroad the
apathy of foreign buyers is significant.
It means that either they have large
stocks of foreign , wheat - aid are "dead
broke" by losses sustained on them, or
else the reports of injury are not true.
Reports trom Iowa, Ohio, Illinois and
Kansas fchow that the corn has not made
up any of its lost time and that the crop
is fully one month behind an average
year. The harvest of oats is under full
headway. The crop is streaked and un
even. Kansas has an increased acreage
in the three leading crops ; wheat, corn
and oats. The increase in winter wheat
is 6.98 per cent, and spring wheat .10.4
percent. The increased acreage in corn
is 7.4 per cent. The dats acreage in
crease is 24 per cent. ' The total availa
ble stock of wheat in'the United States
and Canada, afloat for Europe and in
Europe, as reported by Bradstreet,
amounted to 93,528,000 bushels on Aug
ust 1st, against 99,203,000 bushels July
1st and 85,864,000 August 1st last year.
Of this amount 64,448,000 bushels were
outside of America, against 63,544,000
bushels July 1 and 60,688,000 August
1st of last year. The visible
supply of wheat has begun to
reach the period of regular annual in
crease, and it may be expected to. gain
steadily until the 1st of January. The
exports of wheat from both coastB for
the week ended Thursday showed a large
increase over last year for the corres
ponding week. " The official Ohio report
says that it is probable that its esti
mate of 35,000,000 bushels, against 45,
500,000 bushels last year, is likely to be
reduced by subsequent returns. -
The week witnessed the making of a
new record in the London .- market for
silver, the price of bars at that centre
having fallen to 38 dfper ounce, which
is the lowest point ever known'. The
depression abroad naturally created a
much' weaker feeling in this city, where
the commercial price of bars ran off to
the unprecedented!? low figure of 84.
This sharp' decline reduces the bullion
Value of, the standard silver dollar pre
ceptibly, it now being only 62. 23. All
commercial nations are calling for gold.
La Touraine took $1,000,000 gold, $13,-
000 in silver coin,; and the .Elbe $44,000
in bars.- -The effect of the heaviness in
the markets both here and in London
was reflected in a pronounced decline in
the price - of silver certificates. The
amount of free gold held by the treasury
is, 111,171,330, against $110,811,348 on
Saturday. 'The gold taken for shipment
was paid for entirely in legal tender and
treasury notes. There was not the
slightest ripple .in. 'the money market
during'the week, and the supply of funds
was in excess of the wants of borrowers.
Call money was easy at 1 2 per cent,
and time loans were done at 2y2 4 per
cent, for Sixty days to six months.. The
official figures of the treasury show that
the money in circulation in the' country
on August the 1st was $101 ,920,513 greater
than last year, as will appear from the

It will astonish a great many persons
to hear that, according to the census re
ports, the grape crop of New York
Brings more money than the grape crop
of California. This is because the
former is mainly sold ior table'' con
sumption, while - the latter is used for
wine-making. . The' modus operandi oi
the trust, in. our news columns today,
explains the success of the culture.
A Farmer's Trait. .
. New York Mail. Have the democ
racy heard of the grape trust. The
growers in this vicinity have a combina
tion. They pool their issues." All the
grapes are handled by- the trust or com
pany, and an inspector first sees that
they are marketable. They are then
shipped mostly to Chicago, St. Louis,
St. Paul and Cincinnati, in carload lots.
Freight rates are low, being only' eigh
teen cents a hundred to Chicago. At
the end of a stipulated period, weekly or
monthly, a division is made among the
farmers," according to the amount of
their product, of the proceeds of the
sales. A good price for Concords, which
constitute the principal part of the crop,
though Niagaras and Catawbas are also
grown, is 2 to 24 cents a pound. All
cultivation is -done with'' horses, and it
is, therefore, no more care to cultivate a
vineyard- than it is to cultivate a field of
corn. ' Mr. McKinstry says that high
cultivation ?n grape growing, as. in
everything else, pays, and extra care
and attention will sometimes net. seven
tons to the acre. He has seen a half
acre of Niagaras, with high cultivation, :
yield 12,227 pounds. The grapes are all
packed in nine-pound boxes, and the
average net price last year, which was
low because it was a great fruit year;
was fifteen and one-tenth cents for a
nine pound basket to the grape grower
in the Cbantaqna section. - -'

Fire at I.y tie.
Leader. T)n Saturday morning, at
about one o'clock, one of the barns of
the old Lytle ranch, at the mouth of the
Klickitat was discovered on fire, and did
a large amount of damage before it could
be subdued. The entire structure, in
cluding stables, wagon shed and grain
ery, together with three head of horses,
a large amount of farm machinery, har
ness and feed was . consumed. The
dwelling-house was in danger for a time,
but the fire fiend was brought to bay at
the wood shed, a part of "which was con
sumed:. The loss amounts to about $2,
000 with no insurance. " r't

Chicago, Aug. J8. It is now clearly - .
proven that for some time there has been -.
a dalliance between the managers of the . ..
republican campaign and the friends of r.
Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, who are in
prison at Joliet. It has been under- ,
stood that air-ultimatum was given the
candidate for governor to the effect that
he must agree to pardon the anarchists .
or suffer the consequences. The tactics
of the friends of the convicts is adroit.
They believe that if elected the demo
cratic candidate would certainly pardon -Oscar
Neebe. If they can, therefore,
get an agreement from the republican
candidate, they will have what is termed
a "sure thing.'' But up to tho point
where information.breaks off the repub-V
lican candidate has avoided making a - .
promise of a sort that might be Tealized
on after -the election. Tbe friends of
the men in prison . were becoming im- -patient
and were making threats. : .
At this juncture there is organized an. '
amnesty association, with 'a prominent
republican, who is Gov. Fifer's friend,
at its head. It !b not clear . what the
functions of the amnesty association
are. .Presumably the association . as
organized will he regarded by some as a
guaranty, that if Gov. Fifer ;is. again
elected he -will pardon one or more of the
anarchists. It may be doubted whether -Gov.
Fifer is a party to the arrange
ment. That this question of a pardon is .
full of worry for a governor, who is a. -candidate
for re-election is clear enough
Can the .friends of Gov. Fifer hopeto-;
outbid Mr Altgeld for. the votes of the-.
friends of Fielden, Schwab and Nebee?
It would be a dangerous precedent to
establish, and if undertaken would not
only be risky for the party, but a men
ace to the safety of the republic. ' It is '
evident that Gov. Fifer has no hand in
it. because if he desired to pardon ..the' "
convicts and there were no difficulties ia .
the way he could do it as readily todaj
as he could after the votes are cast next .
November. It would be an outrageous
thing to pardon any man from prison as - -the
result of a political deal. But if he
deserves his freedom he should receive -his
pardon now for the sake of justice. --
Political Movements. ' .V--
Washington, Atlg. 15. At heaqduar- w
ters Of both of the leading political par- '
ties greater activity is shown the past "
few days than at any time' since the '
nominations. T. A. McKee, assistant
of the. republican national committee, iu
charge of- he mailing : division has :
a force of over fifty clerks," sending' out .,
copies of about thirty distinct publica
tions, most of them bearing on the tariff.
They have a labor chart, a map which
shows the average wages paid in- each, j
state of the union. " More tliah a million -of
these charts are to be circulated.
Every day over 10,000 packages, contain-' 1
ing one of each of document issued, are -distributed.
The democratic committee, '
undercharge of Lawrence Gardner,, is
sending out tariff literature, but are di-
versifying it with McKinley's speech on '
pensions, the- anti-force - bill effort of
Senator McPherson; Henry George's '
protection . or free trade. . During : the "
last day or two there have been many "
inquiries for copies of Senator Stewart's- -speech
oh the silver bill, hotwithstand-
ing that it was delivered by a republican ;
senator. Most. of -the urgent demands
on the democratic committee came froui-,-tbe
southern states, where the inroads ' ,
of the party are occasioning alarm. .
