Amonr the Commission Men.

AS foreshaddowed in these columns, wheat, in
the large markets, has been weak and lower,
and from the present outlook there seems little
prospect of any great improvement. The govern
ment returns of the invisible supply was shown
to be most unreliable. and some Of the leading
commercial journals of the east have since
supported the position taken by the GLOBE. In
connection with this question of a probable large
surplus at next harvest the question becomes of
great interest s'what shall we do with it!''
But there are those who believe or feign to be-
lieve there will be very
great surplus, that Europe will ask
for all the grain we have to spare long before
the harvest time. A few facts, however, will
make this supposition very nntenable. In the
first place wheat is selling to-day in the London
market at 81 .12H per bushel, or 37s I'd per quar-
ter of bushels-being Il less than week ago.
Freight to the seaboard is zoe per 100 pounds, or
12c per bushel Ship owners have carried freights
over to Liverpool and Glasgow low as
rs cd per ton of 2,240 pounds, or something like
25c per bAshel; handling at New York and at
European ports and transit to Londnn would per-
haps cost 1ac more. This leaves but little margin
for profit. Against this it may be urged that Of
fers are being made to carry wheat from Chicago
to European ports, including handling and the
ocean freight, for 1Oc per bushel. 1t is
possible that this is being done, but on
the other hand it is a fact that
ship companies refuse to contract for taking any
goods for April at less than 25s per ton-more
than three times the price at which goods have
been carried, which would make SC per bushel
for ocean freight alone. Under such circum-
stances with Indian, Australian and other crops
ready to ship, it is feared that little of
our surplus wheat would find its way
to European markets. The receipts of
wheat at this point for the week have been ~
cars or about IS, 800 bushels, being one Car more
than the previous week. OF this $4,000 bushels
went to the elevators and 10000 to the rolling
by the mills shipped out. Deliveries have
been about 10000 bushels taken by the
mills. The receipts and shipments of grain at

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS,
? crest Fires In Pennsyivania Destroy Several
Towns Before Extinguished.

READING, PA, May 3.-The Blue Noun
tains along the northern broder Of Berks
county are on fire In every direction. Serious
danger Is apprebended. The destruction Of

EMPORIUM, PA May 3.-The forest fires
In this section yesterday swept over at least
$4,000 acres, destroying, as far as ascertained,
four large mills and some thirty-fve other
buildings, besides an immense number OF
lumber logs. The people everywhere are
fighting fires. The heat Is intense and the
air sufIocating, while the smoke obscures the
sun. The loss on mill property, lumber, ETC.,
amounts to $4,000. The damage 10 stand
Ing timber cannot be estimated.
HENTzDALE, PA, May 3.-Tbe fire which
destroyed the neighboring town Of Brisbin,
II Is supposed, originated half mile west Of
Hoover, at Hughes & Co.'S mill, where some
Hungarians set fire TO the brush to clear a
piece of ground for cultivation. The wind
carried the flames to the saw mill, and 1t
was quickly swept away. The progress of
the fire was then very rapid through town,
and the inhabitants were compelled to fly In
every direction and in many cases without
sufficient clothing. When the first alarm
was received the business people placed ev-
cry team at the disposal OF their neighbors,
and every bar room was closed.
WILLIAMsPoRT, PA, May 3.-The latest
reports here show the forest fires In various
places have been extensive and very destruc.
tive along the Philadelphia d Erie Railway,
from Drftwood ives, TO Kane. Heavy fires
were In progress last night; many cars are
reported surrounded by flames, and num-
Der of fishermen had difficulty In getting out
OF the burning territory. large territory
In the western part of Lycoming county Is
burned over, but the loss Is not very heavy.
In TIoga county the fire was general. Large
quantities Of lumber were destroyed along
the Tiogs Railway, as well as many houses,
barns and other buildings. The town Of
Thompson was wholly destroyed, including
the saw mill. The loss is over $4,000.
Seventeen houses were burned In Arnot, en-
failing an additional loss Of $4,000. The
fire was fierce about Morris and Antrim.
Considerable pine timber was among the
property burned In different parts Of Tioga
county. The saw mill Of Andrew Kaul, at
