has not been the faintest indication
Of a disposition to invest on the part
Of the British trade. The position is
simple. Your surplus is admitted to
be greater than that of last year,
whilst the collective requirements of
European countries is acknowledged
to be less. A combination ofcircum-
stances in connection with a late
harvest and increased prosperity has
had the effect ofretarding the move
ment Of the United States surplus to
the seaboard, and, meanwhile, Eng
land is well supplied from other
sources, and will continue so to be
for the immediate future. Even in
Russia the floating contingent in the
matter of breadstuffs is not much
smaller than at this time last year,
whilst from Australia and India the
supply isliberal. Time is creeping
on, and ifthe Equivalent Of the pres.
ent position is maintained for anoth-
er six weeks there will be a very ma
terial portion of the United States
surplus of breadstufis which will not
find a market for consumption in the
cereal yearof 1901. Country-made
flour is dearer in some provincial
markets than in London, when it
comes into competition with Ameri-
can brands Of greatly superior
strength at comparatively lower
rates. H
The American surplus will soon
become disturbing element for
weaknessin the trade; if you send it
on rapidly it will cause a sharp re-
action in values here, and if you hold
it over it will still remain as an ele-
ment of weakness ahead,
In France the grain trade has as

In Germany the trade in bread

Well. the Western Democracy, while dep

Hard Times for Newspapers.
milwaukee Sentinel


There never was. in the history of newspa-
pers, period as distressing ss this. During
the war the price OF print paper was high,
but the advertising patronage was far greater
than 1t is now. the recent advance in the
price of print-papers has been almost so per
cent, with an advance in the price of type,
fuel, etc. Under this pressure many news
papers have been compelled to increase the
rates of advertising, reduce the expenses of
publication by making smaller papers, or in
crease the subscription price. The Chicago
Times has increased its subscription price
while the Tribune has reduced the amount
of its telegraph tolls and suspended the
issue of supplements. Neither OF these
Chicago papers made money before the in
crease in the cost of white paper, and it be-
came absolutely necessary TO do something
when the cost of production increased to
escape actual loss. The past six years have
been severe upon newspaper publishers-
advertising has been comparatively dull.
while the demand for better papers has in
creased the Geographic tolls very greatly.

Yes, indeed, it will be very pleasant for
me to remember that the school girls of Gin
ciDnati are thinking OF me on my birthday.
Few things could be more pleasant and
assure you that when the day comes l will
think of you all with equal kindness. The
old can understand the young, having once
been young themselves. But the young can
not so well understand the old, having meyer
themselves been old. So perhaps, you will
not quite understand with how much sym
patty / can enter into your feelings and
particularly when you tell me you are going
20 celebrate my birthday. You shall have
your pleasure in doing ii, and i will have
mine in thinking you are doing it. Which
will be the greater pleasure? do not know,
and you do not know. and nobody can tell
us. We will put it all together and each
one shall have an equal share. And now
must pay you a little compliment on your
nice letter, and tell you how much it has
pleased me. And another little compli-
meDt on your sndwriting, which is as neat
