The Wheat Market.

Baltimore Commercial: The visible supply of
wheat last Saturday in the United States and
Canada was, according to the Chicago Board of
Trade, 49, 465, 539 bushels, decrease of ,423 l2S
bushels in week. The supply of corn was
S,SGl 1856 bushels, 79365l bushels in q week.
In the week ending May 20 there was disap-
pearance of nearly three million bushels of
wheat, encouraged by the drop in prices The
advance last week encouraged larger ship
ments from farmers and = smaller movement
in other directions. II il Is necessary that the
farmer SHALL sell his wheat for about 50 cents
in order to move it, and the coming large crop
gives no promise of better prices, it is hard to
understand Why he should persist in raising a
profltless cereal. D. sr wheat is Il thing of the
past Although ocks in the principal coun-
tries, and especially in the United Kingdom
and France, will be running very short before
harvest time. it is not at all clear, now that the
middle of June is close at hand, that the de-
cided advance in foreign markets looked for by
some will take place, There was an improving
demand in Liverpool last week, but not enough
to warrant the SITTER prices maintained on this
side. Shipments from India recently have
helped to depress the English market, although
a large portion of them go directly to the Con-
tinent, which continues to buy freely There
is on the whole more probability o. III i'm
provement than decline in the foreign de-
mand.

The reform this Democratic admin
istration is bringing about is to create as
many offices as possible to place Demo.
cratic refoImers as private secretaries to
heads of bureaus, assistant secretaries to
heads of departments, and in various
other ways places are being made for the
reformers to fill, the duties of which were
performed by the officers themselves under
Republican administrations. Democratic
reform does not manifest itself in the
abolition of unnecessary officers, but in
making more. 1t comes in when the ap-
preparation bills are considered, where the
public service is crippled for the time by
inadequate provisions, and then deficiency
bills necessitated to make the amount ag-
gregate more than the original estimates.
This kind of retrenchment and reform is
simply fraud upon the people. 1t is one
of the choice methods of Democratic re-
form, and yet the people will listen to
their false statements and false promises
in every succeeding canvass.
