Toronto.
ToRoNTo, Ont, Sept. l2.-When the
Industrial Exh bition was opened by
Earl Aberdeen a very handsome United
States flag was seen fluttering from one
end of tho grandstand. Upon noticing
this Colonel Gray, Brlgade-Maior of the
Canadian militia, ordered the flag to be
taken down This was done amid a
good deal OF kissing and cheering by
those who noticed the act.
AS soon as Manager Hill OF the Expo
sition heard of the occurrence he or
dered the flag TO be again hoisted. Ma
ior Gray appeared upon the ground
boiling with rage and ordered "the flag
of an alien people" to be torn from the
flagstaff.
This the managers refused TO do,
claiming TO be as loyal as the Major,
and saying that it was only a graceful
compliment TO American people who
every year visited the Exposition in
large numbers. The question will
come before the board Of directors for
decision

Secretary HuHk Talks Intelliwently on tho
Crop Report and Its Eject on the Grain
Market.
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 Secretary
Rusk in an interview upon tho excite
mont in the grain markets caused by a
fear Of short crops said: ''Of course tho
fact that there was slight falling of
in the quantity Of crops had an effect
upon the markets but the tendency has
been upward, as far as prices are con-
eerned on all the cereals attribute
the increase TO other causes than the
shortage in the crops. Tho statement
that this has been tho lightest yield for
twenty years | can not agree with.
Grain operators watch our bulletins
very closely and they no doubt make
their calculations on the basis shown in
them. So far as the information that
we receive is concerned, IL comes from
thousand different sources Their OBJ
ject is to prevent great fluctuations.
"You do not apprehend any serious
squeeze?"
''Why not bit The Government
reports have considerable influence in
checking any complicated corner, and
every body is enabled to know the pre-
else condition of the crop AS they
prevent 1uctuation rather than increase
II, the more frequent they are made

ton becomes"
rs IL fact that the report is the
most unfavorable one ever issued?"
"Not at all. The cotton crop is ex-
traordinarily good. Oats are probably
lower than they have been for twenty
years, but tnat is the only weak point,
with the exception OF the barley crop,
which was very prolific last year, how
ever"
"How is the quality?"
'Uniformly fair, except as | have
stated, with oats, which are not only
short but poor in quality. The barley
crop is merely good. | think that this
country should raise less wheat and i'm
port less barley. We export wheat and
import barley and there is no reason
why we should not raise it all. The
expectation Of corn this year will be
about the same. This is not very large,
however, as foreign nations eat but very
little corn. ! think that on the whole
there is no cause for any trepidation on
