Legitimate laws of supply and de mand may at times be counterbalanced by speculation, but they cannot always be ignored with impunity. The ad vanoe in wheat values during the week has been long overdue." Nominally it has been caused by reported damages to the Russian wheat crop. In reality it is due to depleted reserves and small crops. A conservative' statement of supplies at home and abroad is as fol lows: Importing countries require 100,000,000 bushels . more than last year.. The only countries with exporta ble surplus are America and Russia. The latter, acoording to latest reports, will have less than usual for export. America must therefore reap the benefit of the increased export demand. For tunately, we have excellent crop pros pect!, promising at present the second largest wheat crop ever produced in this country. In this connection it must be borne in mind that our reserves are practically exhausted, and if they are to be replenished from the coming crop our exportable surplus will not exceed that of last year by over 20,000, 000 bushels. .Importers are waking up. to , the' situation, and they have been large and persistent buyers of wheat in our markets during the week.r The re sulting advance, while large and yapid, is more than fully warranted, and the tendency of the market is to advance still further. "" Exports for the week were somewhat higher, than , the previous one,.wheat and flour equalling 1,978,000 bushels, while the world's shipments were re potted at about 4,000,000 bushels. On ocean passage decreased 550,000 bush els, and our visible supply showed an increase of 708,000 , bushels, and now totals 16,033,000 bushels, against 47.. 172,000 bushels a year ago this t.'me. There were alarming report? of dam age to the Russians' greatest food and cereal, the rye crop. An encouraging feature is f the, exceedingly light re ceipts of new wheat, the movement thus far, being ' very limited and not amounting -to'moie than one-third of that of a year ago. This indicates that there is a very heavy interior demand for: new wheat,' or else that 'the new crop is being held back in anticipation of higher prices. Cables have advanced daily and are very Btrong, bringing buying orders for both English and French accounts.mos'.ly future delivery. Portland Markets.

Electric Heating. The extension, in progress in the va rious applications of electric ; heat is hardly realized by the. general public, A great number of electric heating ap paratus are being supplied by the man ufacturers for shoemaking machinery, heating silk-flnishing rolls and leather working machinery, and during the past year and a half alone 14,000 elec tric car heaters have been installed. A blankbook manufacturer has had in use since 1894 from 85 to 40 electric glue pots, and starch-makers are now em ploying electric-heat apparatus exten sively. In one piano manufactory in Baltimore 20 electric heaters were re cently placedand nealry all the large clothing houses of the oountry now do mosUof their work in certain depart ments by electric irons. Such irons have also been supplied to state asy lums in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, Massacuhssetts, Maine and Maryland. Electric , radi ators ate found very convenient where it is desired to heat a room, or a corner of it, for a limited period, as the heat can be instantly turned off dron. One of the most popular uses of electric heating today is for curling-iron sets. Three hundred and eighty-seven of these were ordered for the ' dressing rooms of two combined New York ho tels, 72 sets for a Boston hotel and a large number for the Amerioan line of steamers across the Atlantic. River and canal improvement is an, important subject in France. One of the latest propositions is to improve the Loire and its canals at a cost of $24, 000,000. The Rhone and Garonne have already , been improved and the heavy expenditure is justified by re sults. jFrofessor Forbes calculates that the first'eataraot of the Nile at Dhigh Nile represents 50'C;000 horse-power, and at low Nile 85,000 hoifee-power. . . ; ; v USE GENTLENESS.
