of the reports seems to Indicate tends 10
strengthen the impression that the estimate as
to winter wheat is in like manner somewhat
strained.
The reports thus compared Indicate yield
this year ranging from about 330,OOO,OOO
bushels at the minimum to 3S0.0OO,OOO
bushels, with the present probability that the
latter figure will prove much nearer the truth.
To this is to be added, for estimate of the years
supply, the large surplus remaining from last
yeaD according to no estimate less than
100, 600 900 bushels. This will give, in any
case, supply exceeding the consumption and
exports for the past year. Meanwhile the indi-
cations point to generally large yield in
Europe, the dispatches on Sunday indicating
that the change of weather, particularly in
Great Britain, was regarded as highly favorable
to the growing crop. If the demand from
abroad proves less rather than greater than the
demand last year, the supply available in this
country will by so much the more exceed prob
able demands for consumption and export.
There is really no danger Of scanty or made
innate supplies of food. The only danger is that
food may be made unduly costly by the opera
tons of spectators, with exaggerated reports
rs their basis.

BJ11S THAT SHOULD BE SIGNED.

OF the bills awaiting Governor Hills signature
probably none are more important than the two
concerning this city on which he gave hearing
Yesterday. The new building law is specially
designed to make impossible the further cree
ton of unsafe buildings of the Buddensiek sort
Governor Cleveland last year vetoed similar
bill because of alleged defects in its phrase
ology. This year care has been taken to re-
move any such excuse for veto. Speculative
contractors do not want this bill to become law.
1t is to be hoped thai they will not be able to
defeat it through the Governors action. The
bill TO prevent the erection of high buildings is
another good measure opposed only by the
same interested persons. The sanitary demand
for such an act ought to secure the Governors
signature to this bill.
Among the other bills to be considered this
week is the Bridge bill. Determined efforts are
being made to influence the Governor against
this measure. The Legislature In striking out
the section referring to the Brooklyn extension
unwittingly left in a few words referring to the
raising of bonds for that purpose. On that
ground the Governor is asked to veto the
measure. 1t does not appear that he would be
justified in doing so. The new Board Of
Trustees would consist of the Mayors and Con-
trollers of the two cities. The people can trust
them not to take any possible advantage of such
clause, even if it has any legal force under
the circumstances, which is doubtful. a
reorganization of the present unweldy Board
is necessary. The extension of the New YORK
end of the Bridge is imperative for the public
convenience. For these reasons the Governor
ought to sign the bill.

ANOTHER RECIPROCITY TREATY.

It is announced by telegraph that Minister
Foster has again negotiated a commercial treaty
with the Spanish Government. The treaty, 1t
is said. includes not only Cuba and Porto Rico
in its operations, but the Philippine Islands and
other Spanish colonies. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Foster was retained by the present
Administration, much to the disappointment OF
Democratic aspirants, for the purpose OF
negotiating treaty in place of the one which
the Senate and the public received with scant
favor under the Administration of President
Arthur.
While the new treaty will need to be Judged
according to its provisions, which are not yet
known, there is little reason for believing that
it will be found more satisfactory to the inter
ests of the United States than the one negotiated
last year. The Spanish interests are the same
and have been represented by the same adroit
officials whose success in negotiating with
Minister Foster on the former occasion was so
conspicuous. Undoubtedly, also, the same
private interests, involving very large sums OF
money, which were concerned in the treaty sub
mitted at the last session of Congress- have had
at least as much to do with shaping the new
treaty 1whatevor it may be. The public will.
therefore, have good reason indeed for declining
to regard the new treaty with more favor than
the old, until its provisions have been
scrutinized with great care.
Thisi at least is altogether probable: the
treaty has not been shaped with a view to main
tain the protective system, but rather to
secure for certain individuals or interests
special advantages in spite of that system, and
probably by sacrificing it to a greater or less
extent. 1t is hardly to be expected that the
new Administration has been more careful to
avoid antagonsm with Republican principles
than that of President Arthur. There is reason
to assume that the disposition of the new Adj
ministration with regard to the tariff question
will be disclosed, to some extent at least, by tn e
provisions of the new treaty. Indeed, II the
President approves and recommends It, some
disclosure of his aims in regard to that question
cannot we'll be avoided His Secretary of State,
however. under whose direction the ncg0tia-
tons have been carried on, is well-known
free-trader 1t is safe to assume that MIR.
Bayard so far as he has had any power to shape
the new treaty, has not been governed by any
regard for the protection of American industry.
Perhaps it may turn out that the whole negotia-
ton has been the work of Mr.. Bayard, and not
of the President and that the differences which
have arisen between the Secretary of State and
other members of the Cabinet may come to
a head in the decision in regard to this treaty.

4 SHORT CKOP OF WHEAT

The report given by The Farmers Reriec of
Chicago in regard TO the condition and
pros poets of wheat is so extremely dscouraging
that one finds it hard not to believe it was
meant to be discouraging. The in formation Mt
command of that journal is not very much later,
and doubtless is much less expensive, than that
upon which the May report of the Bureau of
Agriculture was based. Yet the Agricultural
Report estimated the yield of winter wheat at
about 21O, 600, 600 bushels, while the Chicago
Reriew estimates the yield, taking the most
cheerful view of the situation" at less than
200, 100000 bushels. Careful examination of
the figures given fails TO show where so wide a
discrepancy between the two statements can be
accounted for, but some important differences
in estimates as TO particular States do appear.
In such cases. the fact that the Agricultural
Report has no bias, and NAY be presumed 10
seek no private advantage of any class of specu-
lators, entities its estimates to much confidence
while the returns of the Chicago journal are to
say the least suspiciOusy near the centre of
grain speculation, and may not unnaturally
consult the interests of those who are holding
large part of the great surplus on hand That
there Is to be short crop can hardly be
doubted. But it Is easier, upon comparison of
the statements as yet at hand, to believe that
the Bureau report is nearer the truth than the
estimate of The Reuielr: that the yieldIof winter
wheat is likely to be nearer 100000, 900
bushels than 2O0, 100000 bushels.
This impression is not diminished by compari-
son of The estimates given in the Chicago journal
as to spring wheat. 1t is there stated that the
prospects are "much moro encouraging" and
yet the estimated aggregate yield of spring
wheat is given as only l30,000,000 bushels,
whereas the yield last year was 156,000,000
bushels This would imply loss of 26,oO0.o0O
bushels or nearly II per cent, while in not one
of the States mentioned is the percentage of
decrease, according to The Reviews reports, as
much as II per cent The difference in
quantity is not here so great, but the apparent
desire to make out a smaller yield than the face

BIG BEAR At BAY.

4 General Strange appears to have repeated the
mistake of Colonel Otter 10 the Cut Knife fight
by attacking Big Bear with an insufficient
force. Colonel Otter's attack upon Pound
maker, it is true, prevented the latter from join
ing Riel, but it was not the less an imprudence.
In the present case there was still less excuse
for s6ch haste, since Big Bear is not acting in
conjunction with any other force, and therefore
nothing would have been risked had General
Strange waited until he had troops enough to
render victory certain. AS it is he has cncour-
aged the rebellious Indians by showing them that
they can compel white troops to retire, and
probably this will render the subjugation of Big
Bear more difficult. 1t seems also that ecow
loaded with ammunition and provisions or
wagon train, (for the facts stated differently
in two of tho reports, has disappeared, together
with its guard of thirteen men, and the only
conclusion to be drawn is that it has fallen into
the hands Of the Indians.
This would mean that the escort had been
killed, and il that has happened 1t emphasizes
