c. A. PilIsbury Says Wheat VIII Advance
in Value.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, May &C. a.
PillSbury, who has ripe experience IN
the study Of wheat raising and the
worlds development in this respect,
says that the price Of wheat reached its
bottom figure the last year. The in
crease Of population in the United States
and throughout the world, with the in
creased demand for wheat flour, and the
exhaustion of the surplus OF former
years, has made iirmer prices possible.
lie believes that in the next five years
the mills in Minneapolis will grind more
-four at 81 bushel than under.
The advance in civilization, he
said, "crcates n greater demand for bet
ter food. Black bread gives way TO
white bread. This is the case the world
over. In European countries the pro-
cess is going on, thus the demand for
wheat will continually increase. The
world has been eating its surplus wheat
for some years, and it has now approach
ed close TO the exhaustion OF the great
surplus. In this country our conSump-
tl0n is increasing about 5000. 900 TO lO,-
100000 bushels annually and the de-
mand is obviously against diminishing
supply. That supply is what is called
the visible supply in the market re-
ports; the visible supply is the unknown
quantity in the farmers hands. These
supplies foot up considerable in the ag-
gregate, but they are drawn upon in
ceaSingly by domestic and shipping re-
quirementS.
"A great deal has been said about the
enormous increase of the world 5 wheat
acreage, but in this country the maxi
mum development was reached during
the five years ending in 1850. and the in
crease was about "a per cent. During
the next four years the increase was
less than per cent, and in 1889 there
was a decrease OF the acreage Of three
quarters of per cent. There is a steady
decrease of wheat acreage in the East
ern and Middle States. The Shrinkage
is heavy in the Missouri valley south Of
the DakotaS. and there has been only a
slight increase i'm the Southern States.
In the Pacific States the increase since
1854 has been less than per cent, and
there has been a decrease in the acreage
Of the DakotaS, while the wheat lands
of the North Pacific States. now largely
in forest. present a future possibility,
when they are needed.
AS the production has declined, and
if it does not increase much during the
next five years. there will not be over
-. 900. 900 to $4,000, 600 bushels for eX-
port in 1898. This fact, with the alb
scnce Of any decided increase in the
worlds acreage, except in Russia. dur
ing the last five or six years, makes it
certain that the increased demand Of
the world for wheat will send prices up
to remunerativc standard
Mr.. PillSbury referred again to the
fact that the worlds demand for wheat
flour is increasing with the betterment
OF the social conditions OF the people.
He did not consider that the limit Of
wheat lands had been absolutely reached
in this country, for Minnesota and the
Dakotas could produce in their areas
double the amount Of wheat they had
heretofore produced.

MCALLA's DEFENSE.
His Counsel Rests His Case With the
Court Martial.

New YORK. May 6-The last day Of the
McCalla court martial was given up to the
hearing of the argument of the counsel for
the defense. Mr.. Choate dwelt on the
points brought out by the defense in the
cross-examination Of witnesses. The treat
ment of Meyers mutinous action
was justified. The charge COW
ering the Walker matter was
the only one on which his client should
have been tried. Treatment Of mutineers
was left to the master of the ship. Me
Gala, Mr. Choate said, was iustifiel in
striking. Acting under the statutes, Me
Gala had drawn his sword, and resting the
point of it on the deck had said to Walker:
III YOU don't stop your noise will cut you
down" Walker challenged him 10 do 1t.
The crew became threatening. McCalla
then must have either given in or struck
Walker.
After Mr.. Choate concluded Judge Ad-
vocate Gorst reviewed the case and pointed
out variances in the testimony on certain
specifications. This closed the public hear
inc and from day to day the Board will
meet with closed doors until they have
prepared their report. This will be sent to
the Secretary Of the Navy for his approval.
