lFrom the MARX Lane Express, April 20
The weather Of the past week has
certainly been April-like, but rougner
than usual, with sharp, cutting winds
from the northeast The plentiful rains,
however, have opened the expanding
buds, and the verdure of early spring
is everywhere visible. The late sowing
will receive the benefit Of the showers,
and appearances as yet are all favorable
to the growing crops. Last weeks ad-
vance i'll London has been generally fol-
lowed in the country, and wheat must
be noted as having gained on the aver
age about Is per qr., with still firm
aspect. The weeks deliveries are again
4:283 qrs. less than the short returns Of
last year, and everything serves to show
that our main dependence for the future
must be on foreign supplies. The -four
trade Of Paris has gained another franc,
wheat tending upwards, and being real
ly dearer in many provincial markets.
Belgium and Holland present the same
features as to price, and the reduction
Of native stocks, while Germany itself
is dearer, and seems more likely to need
imports than to furnish the customary
supplies. Although larger receipts have
come in at Dantzic, so scarce are fine
samples, that rates have advanced Is
per or. Everywhere, indeed, the frost
is breaking and navigation being re-
sumed, but nowhere are stores Of fine
quality wheat SO abundant and prices
SO low as to make exports on a large
scale either desirable or possible. New
York, where reliance is most warranta-
BILE, notes rise Of about 2 per ar. on
wheat, and at Adelaide the yield is esti-
mated as only two-thirds Of last season
say, about 10000 tons Of wheat, or
100000 qrs.-price free on board 48s
Sd per or. Our foreign arrivals up to
l1th Of April from 3lst Of August we
estimate wheat and -four included, at
7.190,805 qrs. wheat for the seven and
half months Of the cereal year. We
shall, therefore, yet require, if our
necessities only reach 100000 qrs.
1909, 1875 qrs. in the remaining four
and half months. But if, as some
think, the stocks in farmers hands be
lighter than common, just in proportion
to this reduction must our foreign arri-
walls be increased. We are far from
adopting the views Of alarmists, but if
the farmers generally have sold out we
may certainly feel the pressure OF high
prices just before harvest, and they who
would cry the markets down to procure
public favor, are adopting the most GER
tain means to force them up.

Translated for the New York Bulletin
VIENNA, April 21.-The tone Of the
wheat market is very firm and prices
for spot and futures are rising despite
the quietness of the Paris market Ar
rivals are not sufficient in the inland
markets, and transactions are limited
thereby. Prices Of wheat, oats, and
maize remain firm, but other kinds of
grain are offered cheaper. Petroleum
dull, but prices firm. Lard dull in face
Of stimulating advices from abroad
Neue Freie Presse
BERLIN, April 20-The weather is
reported this week as being very favor
able to the crops, and even from Hun
gary more cheering news arrive, thanks
to the recent rains which have fallen
abundantly. The Austrian Govern
ment's report on the crops, like such re
ports generally, came late, and the stu
alton has been since entirely changed,
so that it's estimation of deficit of %
per cent. must not be confdentialy &C.
cepted. Grain is stronger in tone in all
the markets. Petroleum higher with
scarce supplies. Lard quiet but firm.-

credited when we state that right here
in Glencoe, at the famous capital of Nc
Leod county, in the centre Of the Chris
tian State of Minnesota, at this grand
focus of Christian civilization, within the
shadows Of our churches dedicated to the
worship of the living God, genuine pa
