a sCANT GRAIN CROP.
High Prices Looked For In Spite
OF the Peace in Europe.

AAABu = TIVE A4oUAGu or III HIllle
OF the Peace in Europe.
From the New YOik World
A prominent grain merchant was asked
Yesterday whether the peace between
Turkey and servia and the promised de.
mobilization OF the Russian army will
be likely to bring down the price OF grain.
He said:
1t has been the idea Of the trade tina,
breadstufis would be high this summer
whether there was war in Europe or not
Indeed, grain was short crop last year
in all countries except California, and is
light here and all over. 1t has been our
opinion all winter that high prices will
prevail this summer. OF course, there Ia
no DENYING that war would enhance the
price Of wheat. The scarcity will be more
felt in June and July. The Black Sea
and Danube regions have no large sur.
plus this year, so that war would not
affect shipments from there much. CAL
IOrnia Is the great balance. wheel in this
trade. 1t had 10000, 600 bushels Of grain
to export from the last crop. Twenty.
lour million bushels Of this have already
gone, mostly to Great Britain and the
Continent Of Europe. There has not
been 80 littleshipment Of grain from New
York and the Northwest in any three
months in the past ten years as in De.
cember, January and February OF this
winter. The price is certainly moderate
and the United Kingdom must buy n great
deal Of wheat before the next harvest is
ready for the market. BreadstuiIs NAV
be said to be in a peculiar shape IN this
country. The people OF the West have
made up their minds that they have not
enough to supply the demand, and are
keeping what they have. 1t is still de.
bateable whether they have much Tor
export.
There have been enormous operations
in grain in Chicago and Milwaukee the
past year. These put up prices. The
Canadians are very sure about high prices
Tor wheat, because they have lost the most
part Of their own crop, they expect to de.
pend on other regions Tor say one-third
Of their supply. Trade is in n healthy
condition here, and the grain business is
as sale as any other in the country. Dur
ing last spring and summer our grain
merchants here were carrying unusually
large stocks, and important losses were
suffered at that time; but since the new
crop began to come in the business has
been healthy. The losses mentioned fell
mostly on Western correspondents. The
wholesale business here is largely on com.
mission now. The Western people are
fast getting to point where they prefer
to control their own products, both OIL
grain and provisions, up TO the last pos
aible point, in order that they may rear
all possible profit. The farmers even
are getting to be speculatora in these pro
ducts.

SToCKs-At the opening were generally
lower and coal stocks irregular. After the
second call the market was firm, but be.
came weak and declined. Towards the
close Lake Shore, New York Central and
Michigan Central were decidedly lower, on
the announcement that the Lake Shore
Company had declined to carry out their
agreement to put up the passenger rates
west and east on basis Of so from Chi.
cagO to New York and Boston. The prob.
able reason for the refusal Is that the nego.
tiations between the New York Central
and Erie having in view al advance Of 10.
cal rates, that is the rates from points In
this State to New York, have not vet been
completed, and therefore that the n, Y,
Central cannot afford to have through pas
senger fares put up. Chicago, Burlington
q Quincy and Chicago 4 Alton were down
2 and "a per cent respectively. Coal
stocks were strong and higher on the re-.
port oil u strike by coal miners and the
covering OF short contracts. At the final
close, with the exception OF coal shares, the
market was weak. The transactions aggre.

figure successfully, as the civil Governor
of Louisiana. If so, he has more faith
in the abiect submission of q once tree

a horse to water, but you can't force him
to drink. Perhaps this, though a homely
one, is not an unapt illustration OF our
ideas about Packard, even under the
most unfavorable circumstances for the
people that may transpire, exercising
executive functions over us. We are i'm
pressed with the belief that the peace,
tranquility and prosperity of the State
depends upon the moral strength Of the
government. And we may only be for
shadowing events as they will occur,
when we suggest, that the safety even OF

traduced an honorable people lies in the
perpetuity of the government OF the PEG
