Thes(srain MARKET.


was checked about three weeks ago.
The best prices yet hold, but there
does not seem to be any disposition to
advance them further Should the
opening of spring bring about tronb-
lous foreign complications, there would
be a decided advance in the price OF
cereals, but there are at present few
grounds for belief in further warning
than that already in progress, which is
not now nor likely will it become of
sufficiently serious import to affect the
grain markets of the world.
Our esteemed neighbor of the EatlJ
Ne,rs advises its farmer readers to hold
their grain on the strength Of "cloud
in the East but notwithstanding Its as
piring editorials on foreign topics, we
do not recall having read one wherein
the certainty or even possibility of IN
early foreign war of suffi,i extent
and import to make price for wheat
HOW in garners, has been demonstrated
or even pointed.at indefinitely.
Crop reports may influence prices
favorabIy between this and the fist OF
June and there may be speculative
spurts, but as We are able to see 1t Low
the only advance upon solid grounds
that wheat may be expected to make,
covering the crop nov in garners and
elevators will BE- that due t, al unfav-
orable prospect for the comlag crop.
For comp lratively brief periol Of
time American wheat WAS king: This
was Europes granary, bnt 'h"re is no
denying the fact that within few
wears other regions hive divided With
us the privilege of feedlS Europe, and
India, Australia and tae Danube Valley
today, are more than able 20 supply the
demand and American wheat must be
sold beyond the Atlantic at prices to
compete, if it is sold at all We d. not
believe, however, that the present
prices will hold over any exten'e1
period Of time; there are more reasons
than one why an advance should BE-
looked for when the next crop is har'
vested, possibly even before that time
The one fact that the present price Is
ruinously low will prob IDLY lessen the
acreage very materially; it is scarcely
probable that SO good an average Yield
will be preserved throughout the globe
AS has been during the past two years,
while the great business depression
that now exists must in time undergo
reaction and better prices prevail
when wheat will necessarily be affec e!
with all others articles OF merchandise.
None of these however Gun come III
time to make it worth the while to the
farmer to store and hold this crop in
anticipation of better prices.

left" The lively young creature had
more to say in II UGH the same style

burden of her complaint being that
there were no society n en- who Sc med,

ladies called upon her, as for some time
she resided here under the charge Of the
good ladies at the convent. And here we
may say that Miss Madden is altogethera
most loveable girl. However, during her
recent visit, two schoolgirls called at the
hotel, these young girls admiling Miss
Madden exceedingly. To the great
pleasure and delight of the young people,
Miss Minnie invited them to come to her
room behind the scenes during the play
and witness her stage toilets.

If our legislators have many more days
to spare in The eulogy OF John Barley

definitely. The erudition of Senator
Peters, in bis remarks upon John Barley
corn" was surely worthy of better cause,
and Of nobler theme. In this grave
body of law makers, senator who can
speak 50 well, for 50 large class that can
not speak for themselves, even the women
and little children of the State, should
surely let the adherents of "John Barley
corn" alone, as they speak for themselves
any day one wishes TO hear them, along

latter is three Russian poodles walking in

are encircled by bands Of the same stones,
