THE MARKET EXCITED
Wheat's Sudden Rise a Sur
prise in European Cities.
OPINIONS OF LEADING DEALERS
Present Prices Likely to Continue In
definitely, and Farther Klses Con
sidered Not Improbable.
New Yobk, Aug. 24. A World dis
patch from London says :
Great excitement exists on the Lon
don, Liverpool and Glasgow corn ex
changes over the sensational advance in
wheat. A World representative spent
some time on the London exchange and
spoke with leading authorities in the
trade on wheat prospects. Oacar Frich,
manager of the great house of Balli
Bros., said :
"This big and endden rise has taken
us completely by surpriee. I don't con
eider it is justified by circumstances.
At the same time, oar market is firmer
than ever, and the price will hold for
some time, apparently. It is due, in my
opinion, to various causes, one being
the big bear account which was opened
in New York. Operators got frightened
and closed it to cover themselves. I
would not venture to give a definite
opinion on the prospects of prices, the
rise being, in my views, so purely specu
lative and surprising."
Mr. Wood, of the leading firm of W.
P. Wood & Co., of the Corn Exchange,
said :
"The outlook: depends, in my opinion,
on the financial situation on the other
side. If there is no money trouble in
the United states, I believe wheat will
go up another 20 cents. Thy are im
porting this year from America to the
Cuban provinces, where they have never
imported it before. We and the whole
Europe tyre in the hands of America. It
is the only country we have now to look
for oar wheat. Millers here are buying
from hand to mouth, holding back for a
drop in prices, which I do not believe
will come. A poor crop in Europe gen
erally is. the caiiBe of the rise a per
fectly sound cause. If some of your
millionaires go into wheat, having rr.ade
a good deal out of railways, from which
they are now withdrawing, the boom
will last."
Frank Wilson, of Montegredo, Elery
& Co., one of the oldest, wealthiest and
most respected firms in the London
trade, said :
"France is a great factor in the situa
tion. I have seen a French buyer just
come over from Paris, who said to me of
the French crop: 'The more we see of
it, the less we like it.' There was a
shortage in France of 7,000,000 quarters,
and they - have already bought about
3,000,000. If the shortage is overesti
mated, they may be Belling instead of
buying a day or so hence. In that case,
prices would drop instantly. Here is a
sample of a parcel of wheat which I of
fered six weeks aito at 29a and for which
I have refused this morning 41s. That
is a hard fact which cannot be blinked.
I give you my opinion. I believe the
present price, or something near it, will
rule for some time to come."
Seth Taylor, the biggest miller of Eng
land, says :
"I believe the rise springs from nat
ural conditions, bat in all my- experi
ence I have never known an advance
more considerable in so short a time
without any very striking change in the
situation to account for it. There is, of
course, the fact that the whole Conti
nental crop is short, and if the weather
breaks in the north of England before
the harvest is over, you will have the
"My Ears
were badly . sunburned. I ' nsed Gar
land's Happy Thought Salve, and it
cured them in short order."
Edwin Terrell, Sumiydale, Wash.
"It is a grand thing for sunburn and
tan. I never used anything better."
Mbs. Potts, Tacoma,. Wash.
"One jar of Garland's Happy Thought
Salve cored me entirely of the severest
case of sunburn I ever had. . I have re
commended it to my friends, who have
all been benefited by it."

price of wheat up another 5 shillings
like a shot. The weather looks pretty
bad just now. The condition of France
is apparently very serious. The French
government, in order to save themselves
from the socialists and anarchists must
take off the wheat duty if the. present
prices are maintained."
OVERLAND TO THE KLONDIKE.
Squad of Canadian Police to Attempt
the Journey.
Ottawa,' Aug. 24. The minister of
the interior has left for a brief holiday
on the Atlantic coast, but before his de
parture he reached a most important de
cision. It was to the effect that a small
detachment of mounted police should at
once-proceed from Edmonton, Alberta,
and endeavor to reach the Klondike
country from the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains.
Edmonton is the most northenly rail
road point in the Canadian Northwest
territory, being 190 miles north of - Cal
gary. The route to be followed is by
way of the kelson and Laird rivers to
Dease, and up this river to the Pelty.
They will follow the Pelly river to its
junction with the Lees and the Lees to
the Klondike, a total of 1370 miles.
This is not the Mackenzie river route.
- As the police are to take horses with
them, it is obvious that the ' authorities
consider this route practicable, or at any
rate, is worth examining.
Crops in the Middle West.
Ohama, Aug. 24. The wheat crop of
Nebraska has been threshed. The
quality is excellent and the yield is on
precedented, aggregating- 45.000,000
bushels. It is generally estimated that
the yield of corn will be 350,000,000
bushels, or 50 bushels to the acre.
In South Dkoto a close . estimate
places the wheat yield at 20,000,000
bushels. The average is 15 bushels to
the acre. In corn the yield will be 200,-.
000,000, an average of 40 bushels to the
acre. There is an abundance of oats,
which averages well np to last
year's croy.

ATTITUDE TO BE MAINTAINED.
Spain Will Preserve Cordial Relations
With America.
London, Aug. 24. A dispatch to the
Standard from San Sebastian says ;
General Azcarraga, the new premier,
desires to continue the policy of his pre
decessor, Senor Cannvas del Castillo, as
far as possible, and does not apprehend
any complications. He is confident
that the United States will preserve its
present attitude of cordial friendship
and will not insist upon mediation.
Spain would not refuse to submit to a
commission the settlement of claims of
American citizens in Cuba if on the nn-
derstanding that only the damage suf
fered at the hands of her forces were to
be the subject of examination and re
serving all her counter claims arising
from filibustering.
Should Minister Wooford be instructed
to demand autonomy Spain wonld reply
that autonomy would have been granted
long ago had the Cubans ceased to re
ceive from the United States the moral
and financial support to enable her to
prolong the struggle and bad she ceased
to demand absolute independence.

Paris, Aug. 24. All the newspapers
except the socialist organs declare that
the Cronetadt demonstration is a land
mark in the history of France and Rus
sia as well as other nations, and fur
nishes incontestible proof of the import
ant position France has regained in the
world. . .
A dispatch to the Journal from St.
Petersburg says that the Czar's decision
to meet President Faureat Cronstadt was
reached against enormous pressure upon
the part of the German, party.

colleagues. Numerous decorations will

men, including a medal for every sailor.
