There has been 4 SLOW bnrsteady
decline in the prices of wheat since
May LIST. The primary cause to this
decline was the cabled news to the
effect that an outbreak Of hostili%
ties between England and Russia
was growing more and more i'm
probable. The fall would have
been greater and rnnch more rapid
were it not for the very strong
publish element in the market,
which places a great deal of stress
on the continued EepoEtS Of damage
to wipter wheat in Ohio, rpdAnA
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, as
well as on the decrease in the vsi-
BILE supply of wheat made public
on Tuesday. ItisalsO statedlthat
owing to the backwardness OF the
Spring, and the consequent impos-
sibility of preparing the ground in
good season, a smaller area will be
devoted to spring wheat, than vas,
anticipated two or three weeks
ago. This mornings cabIegrams
are Of a less peaceful tenor than
those of the last few days, and, a
renewal of belligorent prospects
may soon stiflen prices once more.

mistake; won't some one explain? Are
those returns complete?" The Crescent
City Globe rises and speaks the above in

no returns had been made from Putnam
because Assessor Boyd has followed his
instructions literally. In person or by
deputy he has visited every house i'm his
Jurisdiction, and his returns will be
found reliable i'll every sense of the word.
1t was necessary that extraordinary care

tells to accommodate the discriminating
tourist or winter resident, it affords us as
keen q pleasure to record the fact that
cottage, or number of cottages, are to
be built We do not know of a vocant
cottage in the city at present, and al
most daily we arc approached by pan ties
inuuiring for such houses. We know
personally of several instances where par
ties seeking homes in Florida went else
were because of their inability to rent
houses here. There is no investment
that will pay the capitalist a better per
cent, and there is no improvement that
would tend to the continued rapid
growth of the city more than the cree
ton of cottages within our corporate
limits. True, great many of these
houses have been erected during the
past year, but in every instance a tenant
has taken possession az soon as the keys
have been turned over by the builder.
he occupants of these houses become
permanent residents, and Wa hope peO-
pie who have money to invest will con-
slider these suggestions and profit by
them
