The upward rushes
whioh in an ordinary year might be
regarded as, in part at least, the handi
work of some great bull, are this year
merely the natural effort of the world s
markets to adjust tbe prices to the
situation, and tbe sharp dips, which
might in any other year be regarded
suspiciously as manipulative "shake
outs," are merely the wide swings of
a market violently agitated by the
haste in readjustment The operator
who has assumed that there was some
powerful influence to tail after has
been bitterly disappointed. The moat
successful man has been the one who
has pertinaciously operated within his
means only on tbe one side.
The developments of the week were
the springing up of a surprising m ill
ing demaud at Chicago, the continu
ance of the drought in India, and tbe
falling off of the movement from first
hands West and Northwest. Primary
reoeipts last week were 2,000,000 bush
els less than the week previous and 3,-
000,000 bushels less than in 1885.
Cables Saturday said the India famine
bad been unbroken in all the distressed
districts Nothing was more remark
able during the week than tbe large
cash wheat business done at Chicago
on days when the wildness and tbe
fluctuations might have been expected
to cauee all cash buyers to hesitate.
The sales Friday and Saturday aggre
gated over 500,000 bushels. Another
noteworthy feature was that the out
side markets advanoed faster than Chi*
cago, showing that speculators were re
tarding rather than hastening tbe ad
vance. The very large increase during
October in wheat stocks ir Europe and
afloat, 20,300.000 bushels, against an
increase for the same mouth last year
of only 4,200,000 bushels, is not as
bearish ss might be imagined at first
glance.
O f this total tbe increase
afloat, 5,000,000 bushels, was con
tributed largely from this side, whence
the imports have concededly been larger
than can be maintained. Tbe inciease
in Russian stocks, 15.400,000 bushels,
is not so very different from the in
crease last year in the same month, 8,-
600.000 bushels.
Tbe extraordinary
advance in priors, 40 per oeut within
sixty days, has accomplished all these
increases, tfie only thing of oourse, for
whioh the advance was instituted.
The exports of wheat, flour inolnded
as wheat, from both coasts of the Unit
ed States and Montreal amount to 4,-
664,615 bushels, tbe heaviest week's
total since the second week of Septem
ber, 1883. This is an increase of about
1,000,000 bushels over last week; of
more than 1,300,000 bushels over the
corresponding week of a yeat ago; of
more than 1,700,000, as oompared with
tbe like week in 1884, a gain of about
2.600.000 bushels as compared with
the corresponding week of 1883, and of
more than 700,000 bushels aa contrast
ed with the like week in 1882.

Washington. Nov.
17. - General
Fitahugh Lee, consul-general of the
United States to Cuba, returned here
this afternoon from Virginia, where he
has been visiliug his family. No time
has yet been fixed for hia return to
Havana, but it is understood he has
been aaked to remain here probably a
oouple of weeks longer, in order to
hold himself in readiness to ooufer
with the president and secretary of
state on the Cuban question.
General Lee talked tonight of the
Spanish-Cubau situation, and while not
denying tbe oossibility of war with
Spain, expressed the opinion, that the
reports that an open rupture was im
minent, aui that consequent prepara
tions for trouble were being made by
both countries might be greatly exag
gerated. He said he had no knowledge
of immediate danger of hostility,
though, of oourse, there was groat feel
ing among some Spaniards against- this
country, as they thought that without
filibustering aid and oomfort from here
the rebellion might easily he suppressed.
He had no information as to whether
the Spanish were prepared or prepar
ing for war. He said:
" I do not believe there has been any
massing of armament in Cuba, with a
view to possible trouble with the U n it
ed States, nor that the construction of
Bpauish war vessel» i9 to be attributed
to any such contingency. The Spanish
army may be improving their defenses
wherever possible, but it does not nec
essarily imply expectation of war. The
United States is steadily strengthen
ing its fortifications and defense works,
and it is an old maxim that says 'in
time of peace prepare for war. ’
"About the war sentiment in Cuba?
The Spanish officials said nothing to
me that indicated any expectation of
war. The only thing that oonld be
construed to give that impression is
the mounting of a battery of heavy
seaooaat guns on the ooast above Ha
vana. There are from twelve to fifteen
of these that extend perhaps a mile or
a mile and a half north of the limits of
tbe city proper. These point to sea
and not toward the insurgents. In
case of an attack, it is possible these
might be made to supplement the de
fense given by Moro oastle. Cabanas.
Reina and other forts.
“ The Spanish authorities rather cen
sure the United States for not strictly
enforcing the neutrality laws, and
many think that, as the sympathy of
this country is more with the insur
gent« than with the Spaniards, our gov
ernment does uot want to take ths
proper precautions to prevent expedi
tions leaving the United States sea
ports and landing in Cuba. I told tho
¡Spanish authorities that they must re
member that there was an immense ex
tent of seaoosst here with innumerable
inlets and places where expeditions
could be concentrated and embarked.
From the trouble which they them
selves had to prevent the landing of
such expeditions on the Cuban ooast,
notwithstanding their gunboats Hnd
other vessels were constantly patroll
ing tbe coast and on tbe lookout for fili
busters, some idea oould be formed of
the comparative ease with which tbe
United States authorities could be
evaded. With the comparatively small
Cuban coast line, I knew of only one
big expedition, that of
the Three
Friends, which had bcon captured by
them. Yet this country had certainly
prevented tho starting of at least a
half-dozen big expeditions for the
island. In view of this object lesson
of the difficulty of putting a stop to
filibustering, 1 contend that the Bpau-
ish ought to be careful about censuring
