appears they have made way with a
neat amount of other folks money
The liabilities are set down at 81, 215,-

the Grant family are Mrs. Cramer.
'(Gen. Grants sister, for 5000; Mrs.
Honore, $4,000; Mrs. Corbin, $25 900;
and Mrs. Fred Grant, $1,000. The air
is fill of charges against Gen. Grant

en- true as regards his foolish boys, the

The first crop report of the Miiler's
National association is complied from
reports sent by over three thousand
correspondents in various parts of the
country to inquiries made by the secre-
tary of the association. From all quar-
tiers the most hattering accounts Of the
condition of both winter and spring
wheat come, but the aggregate reports
disclose scarcity of wheat in the
country that had not been
dreamed of. They show that in
every section the mills are short of
wheat, instead of having surplus stock
as in former years. and that in three
sections the mills will require all that
is raised this year, no matter how large
the crop may be. Probably never be-
fore has there been such general
scarcity of wheat at milling points. This
scarcity among tho millers will go tow
ard reducing the export surplus of this
years crop, even if it should be the
largest one known.

The inquiry is suggested by fnan-
,cial writer, in view of the recent wall
street "shrinkages" of supposed great
fortunes, whether or not, if bottom
facts were known, we have as many mil
ionaires in this country as we are ac-
customed to think. The men reputed
to be immensely wealthy carry big loads
of stock, as rule, and it is very diff
cult to say what proportion of their
value is real, and what is merely ficti-
tious and liable to take to itself wings
at any unlucky moment. A recent
careful writer expresses the opinion
that there are probably not a dozen
persons in the United States who would
prove to be worth million dollars each
if their estates were suddenly settled on
an actual cash basis.

Col. Fred Grant, feeling that open
confession is good for the soul, frankly
admits that he was fool to 20 into
partnership with Ward, and he adds
that his father, brothers and other rel.
atives bear family likeness Of folly for
permitting themselves to be made the
prey OF such scamp. There will be
many who will be disposed to accept
the young mans estimate Of the business
sagacity of himself and the Grant family.
Their genius very plainly does not lie
that way. General Grant himself fur
nishes the most striking illustration Of
the lion and the lamb lying down to-
gether. On the battlefield the stern
warrior was leonine enough, butin Wall
Street he has shown himself to be the
simplest hearted and the most thorough
" shorn lamb that ever ventured into
the stamping ground Of tho bulls and
bears. And it will Be well Il he finally
escapes with sojlsd reputation.

According to the report of Consul

est We have in the provision supply for
