Sax Fbascxsco, Sept. 2. The market
ing of the great wheat crop of 1S91 ma v
now be considered at an end, and with'
the iaaue of the "preliminary statement
of wheat exports for the past month the
material is at hand for closing up the
account of an unusual harvest. " It ap
pears that we have exported during the
last 12 months, .of wheat, and flour ns
wheat, some 224,831,483 . bnshele.' The
crop was placed by the agricultural de
partment at 611,780,000 bnshele. Reck
oning domestic consumption on the
basis of a' little above four and a half
bushels per capita, about 300,000,000
bushels have been disposed of at home.
Some 56,000,000 bushels were used as
seed last fall and spring. This accounts
for 580,831,000 bushels, leaving some
31,000,000 bushels to bo carried over,
plus, of course, the amount carried over
from the crop of 1890, which is generally
estimated to have been at least 20,000,000
bushels. " - '
: Thus from - he crop, exceeding by
nearly 100,000,000 bushels any-pre vious.
yield, we shall carry over a surplus of
some 50,000,000 bushels, and il the crop
of 1891 actually exceeded the estimates,
as is commonly asserted, the surplus, is
larger. Considering the. extent of the
yield, this should be counted a very re
jaarkable clearing Up of supplies. That
will appear more clear by comparing
the yields and exports of a few previous
years : ' ' -:

' The exports are for the fiscal year im
mediately following the crop - year. We
have not only the yearsi St largest wheat
yieldj but the year of the'Jargeat wheat
exports prior to the' present year. But

f lSWand 18S9'it will be seen;' that ' we
have cleaped: wiili a 'remarkably small
supply "of old' iBtocks-'on haaL' But in
the light Of the predictions made a year
ago' the outcome appears very- different.
That wonderful famine - scare . is .still
fresh in mind. It was confidently pre
dicted when the failure of the Russian
cropwas heralded, that" our. exportable
surplus of wheat would all be wanted in
Europe at from $1.50 to $2.00 a bushel,
and then a shortage of over 100,000,000
bushels was declared to be certain. " .
r Farmers were advised to hold their
wheat and- name their own price. . A
Kansas statistician came to the front
and was given free run of . eastern peri
odicals, with a great mass "of crazy fig
ures, showing that the whole world was
about to starve, or that the-United
States was about to be Under the neces
sity of importing breadstuffs. ; ' And
now, instead of a shortage, there ' is 'a
large surplus; and, more than" this, a
large surplus in the face, not of prices
running above $1.50 and $2 a bushel, but
in the face of a price less than 90 cents
at New York, which has prevailed now
for two months or more. Indeed, it ap
pears that the whole crop has been mar
keted at an average New York price for
No. 2 red winter wheat of just $1, against
an average of "' $1.06 for the " previous
crop. What he grotesque predictions
and expectations of a year ago 'did, then,
in the way of helping "on the marketing;
of the great crop; was to hold it back
until Europe had supplied itself as far
as possible from other sources, and then
to force it out upon the market at stead
ily declining prices.

i Shoald Clean up.
. Review. . Wo have said that the Unit
ed States is in no danger of the epidemic,
and it is not, this year. Cholera is a
germ disease, feeding' upon filth, but
usually remaining torpid duriffg cold
weather.' The heated term is so nearly
over as to obviate any great danger even
were our . quarantine . regulations less
stringent than they are. The danger
will arise next year from the germs car
ried through the winter in old .clothes
that have not : been ' fumigated "or but
partially disinfected.. In the meantime
it will do our cities no harm to profit by
this warning and by cleaning up leave
no speck of filth upon which the' pesti
lent little germ can rest the sole of , his
foot and make ready for deadly work
next year.

IReviewf George William Curtis,
though an able man of pure mind and
great integrity of character, was . always
more'or " less 'Speculative, dreamy 'and
impractical. This was strongly shown
daring bis youth,-'when he-joined the
Brook farm association of ardent and
sentimental enthusiasts, an association
which speedily fell to pieces because of
too much abstruse speculation on ethics
and metaphysics, and too little hoeing
of' corn and mending of fences. --As a
citizen Mr. Curtis .was , patriotic and
conscientious, and, as a writer; graceful
and engaging, and ..the loss of such a
man must always inspire regret, how

his ideas and projects. - .

New York, Sept. 2. The latest from
Mars comes in the form of a special to
the Herald, from Astronomer Pickering,
at Arequipa, from Peru. He says:
"Mars has two mountain ranges near
the south pole. Melted snow has col
lected between them before flowing
northward. In the equatorial mountain
regions, snow fell on two summits on
August 5th, and melted on August 7th.
I have seen eleven lakes near the solis -locus
varying in area from eighty to 100
miles to forty by forty miles. Branch
ing dark lines connect them with 'two
large dark areas like seas, but which are
not bine. There has been much trouble
since the snow melted in the aeran .
clouds. These clo'nds are not white but
yellowish and partly transparent. They"
now seem to be breaking away but they
hang densely on the south - side of the
mountain range. The northern green
spot has been photographed. Many of
Schiaparelli's canals have been .seen
single." . . ,.
, National Quarantine Order. " -
.Washington, Sept. 2. An official cir
cular was issued today by tho president
which is practically a quarantine of
twenty-days or longer if necessary, of all
vessels at . ports of l he United States
from Cholera infected ports where not
in contravention of the state laws. The
issuance was delayed somewhat, owing
to a desire of the department to publish
at the same time an opinion by the. attorney-general
on the question of certain
rights of the government in the matter,,
which it is thought should accompany
the circular. It is directed to collectors
ot customs, medical officers of the marine
hospital service, foreign steamship com- .
panies, and state and local boards of
health and reads as follows: . -
It having been officially declared that
cholera is prevailing in various portion e
of. Russia. Germany, France, and at cer
tain points in Great Britain, as well as
in; Asia, and it having been made to ap
pear that immigrants In large numbers
are coming into the United States from
the infected districts aforesaid; that
they and their personal effects are lia
ble to introduce cholera into the United
States, and that vessels carrying them
are thereby a direct menace to the pub
lic health, and it having beeu further
shown under the laws of several states,
that a quarantine detention may le im
posed upon these vessels for a sufficient
length of time to insure against the in- '
traduction of contagious diseases, it is
hereby ordered that no vessel from . any
foreign port carrying, immigrants shall
be admitted to enter. at any port of the
United State until said vessel shall
have undergone quarantine detention of
twenty days (unless such detention is
forbidden by the., laws of the state, or
regulations raide thereunder), and of
such greater number of days as may be,
fixed . in . each special case by the etate
authorities. -
