THE ADVANCE In FLOUR,

To What Brads,reet Attributes the
Cause.-some Local Opinions on this
All Important subject.
One hears much talk about the advance
OF 40 to so per cent in price OF -four, &C.
cording to grade-and people are inclined
to place the cause on odd Hutch's" cor
ncr on wheat. Bradstreet's explains that
the conditions Of the wheat market is the
true cause. Had these conditions not
existed Hutchinson would have failed in
his corner. The advance IN -four is, OF
course. nearly in proportion to gain in
proportion to gain in wheat In England.
where lies our chief market for large
share of our total annual flour exporta-
ton, the price of home grown wheat has

wheat in the United States and greater
advance the price of No, hard spring
wheat lowing to decreased production, }
the 40 per cent edvance in the price of

warranted by apparent international
trade conditions.
In brief, nearly if not quite the vhole
appreciation in the price of -four is legiti.
mately based upon the apparent statisti,
cal position of wheat, and has been in
fluenced but trihngly, if at all. through
additional impetus lent BY the late Sep>
TENDER corner. Reduced exports, re-
| duced purchases by miliers. higher prices
for wheat and for bread, are not, there
fore, the outcome of the corner in Sep
TENDER wheat, and have not been aug
mented 5 per cent, if at all, by it. 1t i
a common error with many to mistak
for cause that which should be classei
as an outcome or consequence.
| Two business men were talking tn
matter over in a well known drug stor
yesterday and a conclusion that bot
agreed upon was that no matter hoy
much wheat and flour advanced the far
mer would not be a nickle financial
wiser for it. Because they both said til
wheat was in the hands of the middleme

vested or even sown. That the increas

Tota,

The second game was between the
Academy and Picked nine, and this was
decidedly the game of the day, although
the score does not look so well as that
made in the first. The Academy boys
were thoroughly into the work by this
time, and when A. Lewis faced the bat
tiers and began to twist the sphere there
was genuine exhibition of smuggling. 1t
was evident that the Academy team took
kindly 10 the curves, and knocked him
out of the box in the first inning Geo.
Crothers went into the box in the second
inning and did very effective work.
Crothers has not pitched ball for more
than two years, and in consequence, was
decidedly green. As base thrower he
has perfect control of the ball, and
throws with accuracy and speed. w. L.
Foard and Harry Whiteman did all tho
catching for the Picked nine, while
Thornton made very few mistakes in
catching Cam for the Academy team.
Cam pitches puzzling drop, and the
willow smites the air oftener than the
ball when he is pitching. A small
amount of Observation-Disclosures"
talk was INDUCED in, but not in such
volumes as to seriously interfere with
the sport. Joe Smith made capital
umpire, and what was most remarkable
escaped from the field alive. lie may
fill the position again, providing he can
get out an accident insurance policy. We
do not undertake to point out the good
and bad plays made, although there
were many of each, the greater number
of course, belonging to the former class
good. All the boys need is plenty of
practice, and if they get it, they will be
well qualified to tackle any club out side
of the League or American Association.
One thing we would suggest, and that is
the clubs secure suits. 1t gives them a
better appearance in the field, and club
properly uniformed is always attractive
and interesting to the spectators. Fol-

ligent, but likely to be good looking.
Ifin May, handsome, amiable and
likely to be happy.
lin June, impetuous, will marry early
and be frivolous.
Ifin July, passably handsome, but
with a sulsy temper.
in August, amiable and practical and
likely to marry rich.
If in September, discreet, afIable and
much liked.
If in October, pretty and coquettish
and likely to be unhappy.
Ifin November, liberal, kind and of a
wild disposition.
If in December, well proportional fond
of novelty and extravagant.

The Academy Club Victories.

The defeat of the Academy club two
weeks ago at the hands of the Delaware
Field Club Of Wilmington, only served
to awaken the Academy boys to the fact
that they needed more practice. They
received challenge from the Stricken
vile club, and about the same time
another challenge came from what must
be termed picked Nine" of Newark.
The energetic boys accepted them both.
Considerable feeling was manifested as
to the ultimate outcome of the days
work, and the Academy Nine certainly
deserve much praise for the work they
performed. Although they were not
free from errors.
The first game played was between
the Academy and Strickerville teams.
The latter club played exceptionally
well until the fourth inning when Hos
singer made home run, and from this
out their pitcher was mercilessly slugged.
In fact he was knocked out of the box
in the sixth inning, ten runs being made
by the home team. Harry Garrett took
the position in the seventh and last in
ming with much better effect. Good
plays were noticeable on both sides.
Following is the score
