FIour-Making Prospects.

The Market Record says some perth
nent things regarding Minneapolis mill
erS: q
The manufacturers of flour are believers
in better times for the ensuing year. One
thing unsettles their faith in prospective
profits If what some of the large mill-own-
ers of Minneapolis believe in comes to pass,
then the millers will have to shut dow n their
mills for so much of the year that the cost Of
it will use up too much of the proceeds for
milling in the crop year of lS90-91 TO pay.
The point referred to. that such millers insist
upon, is that there will be no wheat or -four
to export from east of the Rocky mountains
this year.
They claim that with a shortage in the win-
ter wheat crop and spring wheat crop re-
duced by hot weather and dry, will leave no
surplus worth mentioning to go abroad The
millers know too well what it means to mill
entirely for domestic trade. 1t means that
with twice too much milling capacity to
grind for this country alone the half of 1t
would have to be idle. With that condition
and no combination that can be made to
stick the results are to be decided by the
rules of the doctrine of the survival OF the
fitteSt."
Others OF the millers look upon the post.
ton differently and figure that this crop year
will probably end as others have, when s1mcs
liar predictions have been made with wheat
enough for all demands The same thln8
was told of the crop of 1888 that ended the
crop in a collapse of prices. 1t was pre-.
dicted of the crop of 1890 that yet
furnishes all the wheat the most
ardent buyers need at prices farther be-
low Eastern values than usual There APT
pears to be nothing in sight that would breed
different state of affairs this year. The
more danger to milling interests appears to
be that in the eagerDess to work up values
they NAV buy so much high-priced wheat
-four making from it may be improbable.

British Grain Trade.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The Mark Lane
Express, In its weekly review of the
British grain trade, says: 1.-The har'
vest is making active progress. The
wheat crop varies greatly according to
localities. The crop is flu II in the heav-
lest growing counties. The new wheat
shown in the London and provincial
markets samples we'll. The supplies Of
old are almost exhausted. The sales-Of
English wheat during the past week
were 20,72S quarters at Sos Cd against
1854 quarters at Sos Cd during the cor
responding week last year. The re-
serves of wheat in mills and warehouses
last week were estimated at 3,671, 500
quarters. SO low are the farmers reg
serves that the total supply of old
corn IN the country, whether as wheat
or flour, does not exceed 1000, 600 quar-.
tiers. Foreign wheat is hardening.
Prices show an average advance of Cd.
Flour is firm. The barley crop reaches
a full average The crops of oats and
beans are above the average. The rates
of each are maintained. Corn was
strong on adviceS concerning the Amer
lean crop, combined with cable dis
patches from BuenoS AyreS stating that
The supplies there are exhausted. To-
day the market closed decidedly dearer.
There was all average rise OF cd in En-
glish and foreign wheats. Very little
English was offered. Round corn adj
vanced Sd. and barley advanced 81. A
large supply of oats caused fall of Sd.
Flour, beans and peas were held firm.

absorption of the floating and circulat-
ing capital of the country by the col
lection of excessive revenue has locked
a great deal of it up in the national
treasury, there has also been large
expansion of credit by the exploiting of
industrial stocks" by meanS of which
private manufacturing and trading con-
Germs have been capitalized at two or
three times the actual prices paid for
the properties. These watered stocks
have come into the loan mar
kets and been offered as col

there are other and more venturesome

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The long-expect-
ed break in the wheat market, which,
like the letter in the song, looked as II
it would never come, arrived in the
course of this morning. The trade was
quite bullish early, with Mr.. Hutchln-
son buyer. Prices started from &c to
lie over the close Saturday, then Sep.
TENDER sold at $1.044 and December at
$1.O7@1.074. Then the bulls were di-
vided. While quite majority of them
kept on buying, not few turned in to
realize profits. The early bulge en-
couraged them to sell oSt. This was done
at first in very quiet way. while the
market gradually yielded to s1.03% Sep
TENDER and Sl.061s December. Prospects
of big decrease in the visible at one
time caused second bulge to Sl.04 Sep
TENDER and SLOTS December. But the
free selling by longs went on. The
leader in this was thought to be Leopold
Bloom. This was open selling by
Counselman & Day, Edwards & Co.,
Walker & Co., and many other houses.
Logan & Co., Durham & Co.. and other
bull houses quietly let go some wheat,
perhaps for customers. When the visi-
BILE report was posted and the realizing
became pretty general. prices went off
before 1890 pint to $1.03 for September,
$1.06 for December and from SILL to
| S1.O9% May. Receipts were LAT cars. with

ances were: New York, none; Phila-
delphia, 1900 bu; Baltimore, $4,000 bu.
Liverpool cables were simply firm,
while the weather abroad was called
fine. No frost appeared to do any DAM
| age anywhere in the Northwest, and
the weather to-day was not unfavorable.
Before O clock the market became quite
| settled at about bottom prices of the day.
There was sharp break in wheat be-
fore the close, and prices went off to
s1.O11s for September. s1.051a for De-
cember and s1.O94 for May. Closing
prices we're: August, $1.01A; Septem-
Der, $1.O2; December, S1.O55s; May,
sLO95s. On the curb wheat was firmer,
December selling up to S1.05T. Decem-
Der calls for tomorrow were $1.07, while
the puts were S1.84ss. Corn was weak,
| and closed cent lower on weather re-
ports indicating that good rains had
fallen during the past week. Local
traders sold freely. Oats were weak on
the large receipts; lower prices for corn
and wheat, and heavy selling by Hutch
inson. The provision market shared in
| the general weakness and closed 10c
lower for pork and 21ac lower for lard
and ribs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Nine. Romero,s Bed Room.

A boudoirin different fashion is that
of Nine. Romero. the wife of the Mex
lean minister, writes Washington cor
respondent. The prettiest American
rooms would hardly equal itin richness,
for the wealthy MeXicans lavishly fur
nish the private rooms of their wives
and daughters. Nine. Romero's room is
modelled exactly after the one in her
home in the City of Mexico, and most
of the furniture was brought from
there. The bedstead is so delicately
wrought that it makes the finest of ours
seem clumsy. The canopies are of rose
leaf satin, and reach almost from the
ceiling. The windows are draped with
white Swiss curtains, with festooned
drapery like that of the couch, ana the
same richly tinted silk is used to drape
bureau and dresser.
Almost as regal in its appointments is
the boudoir of Mrs. Hammond, the wife
of DR.. William Hammond. 1t is the
gem of all the handsome apartments in
Belcourt, their new home on Columbia
Heights, and was designed by Mrs.
Hammond herself. 1t is modelled after
a section of the Alhambra, showing the
slender columns, futed arches and
highly colored dome of the Moorish in
terror decoration. The color is robins
egg blue, with relief of pale silver.
One can only conclude that the Moors
had practiced walking on ice, for the
floor is as devoid of rugs as-well, as q
banana skin.
