DUN'S A REVIEW.

A Foreign Demand For Coda Reduc-
ton in the Price of Wheat.
New YORK, May 8.-R. g. Dun &
company's weekly review of trade says:
The struggle to sustain Russian securi-
ties against disfavor of the tRothschilds,
demand for gold by German bankers,
and threatened withdrawal of Rus
sian gold from deposits in England,
France and Germany account for much
of the unusual movement Of specie
which has been in progress. The adj
vance of the half of one per cent. at once
in the rate charged by the bank of Eng
land is rightly regarded as a notification
that England Means to fortify itself in
this great struggle by drawing gold
from New York. This sudden demand
comes at a season when this mezI-w-cas
spare gold with less inconvenience than
at any other, and the continued issues of
silver notes make the withdrawal from
the circulation less felt, though the fact
that AZ per cent. of the customs receipts
at New York are now in silver paper
shows that the remedy cannot last
always. May starts off with a great
plunge in speculative prices which has
for some weeks been anticipated. Wheat
fell Is cents in as many days. The
sales here last week were but 65.OOO,O00
bushels with a net decline of 558 cents
and while corn has declined 81 cents in
sympathy and many Spectators have
suffered, the sales have been but 1900
QUO bushels. The element of great
strength is the accumulation evil
dence that the wheat prospect at the
west is remarkably good,
the acreage having increased heavily, a
| third in Kansas and a quarter III Wash
ington. The universally cold weather,
while injuring fruit and vegetables at
many points, does not appear to have
seriously affected the larger crops, which
promise exceptionally we'll. After such
high prices as have been realized, farm
ers are widely inclined to put in a greater
acreage of wheat, oats and corn, especial
ly as foreign advices foreshadow a larger
demand for wheat. With such an agri-
cultural outlook, the demand for manu-
featured products Of all kinds is
likely to. improve, and thus
great Industries will be
helped. Iron already feels a %stifening
influence and some kinds and grades are
a shade higher than a week ago, with a
lager buying of pig iron at unchanged
prices. The demand for structural iron
is for a time lessened by the extensive
strikes in building trades, but for bar
and plates there is more demand. Wool
is scarce, and manufactures not inclined
to activity until the new clip comes for
ward freely,

EX-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND fears
the disastrous effect upon the bust
ness Interests Of the country should
we have free coinage. No one cares
to dispute his sincerity. But IL is
not the first time he has been sincere
and mistaken. His judgment IL not
infallIble. In fact In the very letter
In which he inveIghs against free
coinage, he admits that he believed
the present silver law would paralyze
our industries. He acknowledges
the error Of his Judgment In that
proposition, but thinks he cannot be
mistaken now. II IL simply another
error Of Judgment, but one strongly
IN the interest Of the creditor. IL
should be remembered that the same
effort was made to demonetIZe gold
about forty years ego, because the
discovering Of new mines Of unusual
richness caused the belief among
creditors that gold would soon be
TOO cheap.
IL is admitted that no one can with
absolute confidence predict what
will be the result Of free coinage, and
we suggest that the debtor be given
9 chance, and the experiment he
made in his favor once.
