Statistics of Interest to BE Found in the
Annual Report of Chicago's Board of
Trade.
CHICAGO, May 25.-Secretary Stone, Of
the Board of Trade, has made public his
report for 1887, the thirteenth annual report
of that institution. 1t is a commercial
record of the past year, and its conclusions.
unlike those of most writer's, are based
on facts and figures While the corn crop
was below that of it's immediate predeces-
sor, it's valuation exceeded the former by
some s35, 900, 600, the average price per
bushel being "A cents, against 1856 cents
in 1886. The wheat record is not so good,
as it was S3,613,000 short of the previous
year. The oat crop was an increase, both
as regards volume and value, over 1886.
The livestock valuat on was SIG, GA, 597, as
against $685. ,754 for the previous twelve
months. Mr.. Stone has no fears of compe
tition with India, but has serious regrets
that only IA per cent. of our foreign trade
is transported in American vessels, while
81 per cent, are foreign bottoms, recalling
as he does, the fact that in 1856 % per cent
of our foreign commerce was under the
protection of our own flag.

New York, May 30.-The Tribune of to-

Blaine:
paris, May II, 1885, WhitelaW Reis, Esq,
Editor Neso York zsitune-My Dear Sir. Since
my return to Paris from Southern Itay on the
9Th inst. have learned (That did not before
believe) that my name may yet be presented
to the National convention as candidate for
the Presidency by the Republican party. A
single phrase of my letter of January rs from
Florence (Which was decisive of every thing
had the personal power to decidel has been
treated by many OF my most valued friends
as not absolutely conclusive in ultimate and
possible contingencies On the other hand,
friends equally devoted and dsanterested
have construed my letter Gas it should
be coastrued) to be an unconditional
withholding of my name from the Nation
al convention. They have in conse-
Quence gwen their support to eminent gentle
mon who are candidates for the Chicago nomi-
nation, some of whom would not, 1 am sure,
have consented to assume that position if I had
desired to represent the party in the Presiden-
tial contest of 1888.
IF should now, by speech or by silence, by
any event, to come before the convention
should incur the reproach of being uncandid
with those who have always been candid
with me. 1 speak, therefore, because I am
not willing to rema n in doubtful atti-
tude I am not willing to be the cause of
misleading single man among the millions
who have given me their SURFACES and their
confidence / am not willing that even one
of my faithful supporters in the past should
think me capable of paltering in
a double sense with my words As
Stunning that the Presidential NOM
ination could, by any possible chance be
ing in the minds of thousands Of these men the
rection, and, therefore, could not accept 1t at
all. The Misrepresentation of malice have no
weight, but the just d;spleasure of friends
could not patiently endure.
Republican victory. the prospects OF which
grow brighter every day, can be imperled only
by lack of unity in council or by. acrimonious
contest over men. The issue of protection Is in
calculahly stronger and greater than any man,
for it concerns the prosperity of the present and
of generations yet to come. We're it possible
for every voter Of the Republic to see for him.
