ber delivery it is simply a matter of
opinion whether to assert the market
is manipulated or not.
The latter
supposition is the more reasonable.
Stocks of contract wheat have been ex-
h lusted by the unprecedented expt rt
and interior demand. High values ob
taining have induced speculative short
sales, with the resulting condition of a
constantly oversold and congested mar
ket. Granting all of which to be true,
the general conditions which ordinarily
control values are so extremely favor
able to high prioes that it is a matter
of great doubt as to whether specula
tion has played any important part in
advancing and maintaining values.
Export clearances of wheat and flonr
for the week have been large. The ex-
|H>rt demand continues urgent and
promises to increase rather than di
minish. Stocks at market centers
show but a small increase for the season
compared with previous years, al
though the forward movement of the
crop has been unusually large. Receipts
at primary points are beginning to fall
off, and it is becoming more and more
apparent that the spring crop of the
Northwest ha« been over-estimated.
The continued drought assures only a
moderate acreage seeded to winter
wheat, and that under favorable condi
tions. Crop advices from Argentine
continue conflicting and contradictory.
Advices from Australia assert that
their crop will be below an average and
give no surplus for export. France
continues to buy wheat freely. From
til I reports, public and private, it is a
certainty that European stocks are un
usually small and European require
ments abnormally large. The prospect
for the immediate future seems to fully
warrant present values for wheat, and
should any disaster overtake the Argen
tine crop it is probable that they will
be fully maintained if not materially
advanced during the balance of our crop
year.
The situation regarding corn values
shows a decided improvement during
the week, although still possessing ele
ments of radical weakness. Stocks, al
ready larger than ever before recorded,
show no immediate signB of decreasing.
On the other hand, the cash demand,
both for home consumption and ex
port, show* a gratifying increase. Val
ues are now 15 cents per bushel below
an average for the last ten years, and
the new crop is certainly below an av
erage in yield. There is little to war

sinate the president of Brazil, Dr.
Prudente Jose de Moraes. The presi
dent’s brother, an army officer, was
probably mortally wounded while
shielding the chief executive. General
Betancourt, minister of war, who was
one of the president's party, was shot
and killed.
Rio Janeiro is now under martial
law, every soldier having been ordered
to arms, and it is feared another reso
lution is at hand.
The attempt to kill the president,
and the killing of the minister of war,
it is believed, ia the work of monarohial
sympathizers. Another rumor is that
they were the result of the feeling
aroused by the proposed arbitration
treaty with France.
Wild excitement prevails in the city.
Startling rumors are heard on all sides.
The belief is general in certain classes
that the followers of Antonio Conseil-
heiro, the leader of the fanatical move
ment, who was recently killed in
Canudos, have invaded Rio to strike
their first blow for revenge.
It was the day set apart by President
Moraes and hie cabinet to do honor to
Rrear-Admiral Barbosa, one of the con
querors of Conseilheiro’s friends in
Canudos. Admiral Barbosa was ons nt
the chiefs of the Brazilian troops who
several weeks ago hacked and Bhot down
thousands of the followers of the fierce
Conseilheiro, who had gathered bia
forces in Canudos.
It was believed then that the crash
ing defeat of the fanatics there and the
death of Conseilheiro had put an end to
Brazil’s monarchial enemies.
Thousands of persons gathered to see
President Moraes and his cabinet extend
publicly the thanks of the republic to
Barbosa and his troops, just returning
on the steamer Canudos.
Many mem
bers of congress and persons high in
naval, military and ecclesiastical circles
were present, as were also the diplo
matic representatives of several foreign
countries.
The victorious troops were passing in
review before President Moraes, when
a soldier dashed out of the naval arsenal
toward the president’s party, drawing a
dagger as he went.
Fearing his intention, and unable to
stop the soldier, Colonel Moraes, brother
of the president, stepped between the
executive and his assailant, and tried
to ward off the dagger thrust. In thia
