Stocks of wheat in Chicago are now down to 8,000,000 bushels, and this is firm ly held by men who believe in higher prices for spot wheat during the next 30 days. There lias been little doing in other options, although September wheat lias gained two cents. The news has ticen some what conflicting in many respects, re ports o f harvesting from the Southwest tending to somewhat dishearten hold ers, w h ile the news in other respects was bullish in tone, and indicated a good demand for cash wheat. Receipts have fallen off sharply in the N orth west, and everything indicates that from nowon until the next crop moves, hut littile w ill be received. Foreign crop news has been bullish in tone, European advices confirming the re- ported damage to the Roumanian and Bulgarian crop of 25 per cent. Condi tions of India have improved but little. Russian reports continue to speak of damage to wheat in certain sections, while in France there has been only a slight improvement. Exports have shown a moderate decrease under those of the previous week. Bradstreet’s re- jHirts them at 3,156,000 bushels, while ucean passage decreased 1,440,000 bush els. Our visible supply decreased 1,879,000 bushels, and is now down to 18,794,000 bushels, the smallest in many years. Were there any speculation we would see higher prices at once, hut the market is in a rut and so narrow that it is at present con trolled by a few professionals who are scalping for small profits. W h ile the present dullness lasts, we hardly look for a bull market, but our supplies are getting so low that the short side is very dangerous to be on, aud we advise our friends to buy wheat on the little breaks at present, and be satisfied with small profits until sim ulation revives, or there is a material change in the situation.

K. i*AK«oNs, Special Co/respondent. Washington, D. C .— Reports from the business centers, wliioh reach mem- l»*rs of congress here, are extremely gratifying. Dun’s reivew , which is accepted as a reliable business barom eter, not controlled or influenced by political or other causes which could affect its accuracy, presents the moet satisfactory trade statement for the laet week that has been made since the present business depression began. That statement was remarkable in ita showing of the decided decrease in embarrassments in all branohes o f trade and in rei»irts of unusual activity in all the industries in anticipation of the passage of the tariff bill. The failure# reported in most branches of trade ere less in number than at any time in the last thirty-six months w h ile the volume of business transacted is, in quantity, larger tliun in 1892, the year of our greatest jirosperitv, the slight reduction in values being due to the smaller prices paid for tiie articles of commerce handled.
