FOREIGN WHEAT EXPORTS.

Statistics Of the export OF breadstufTs from
the United States for the fiscal years 1890 and
1891 show remarkable change. 1t is small
as regards the amount of wheat and flour ex-
ported. but the higher value of wheat IN 1891
caused very considerable increase IN the
sums received from this source. According
TO these statistics our exports were valued at
s5O493. 537 in 1891 against S45. 031 ,173 in 1890
In 1891 the value averaged 93.15 cents per
bushel. while in 1890 the average price was
SO. % cents a gain of g. 90 cents, or very nearly
u per cent. 1t is further reported that III
wheat-hour there was q reduction, though
not a very material one, both in the quantity
and the value of the exports. The figures
stand II OO7 63S barrels, valued at s53. 21G 1884 in
1891 against II ,8sl, lC3 barrels. valued at s55'
1868, 1873 in 1890, a decrease Of 673,525 barrels
in quantity and :2,253,2l4 in value. The value
averaged a. 81 per barrel in 1891. against S4.66
in 1890.
The outlook for the year is for an increased
European demand for breadstufs from the
United States because of crop failures or
shortages in Russia, France, Germany, Spain,
Italy and Austria This. it is anticipated, will
increase prices unless the American surplus is
so great as to leave an unusually large amount
over the home demand. The Agricultural
Bureau estimates that the American crop will
amount to 543, 900 900 bushels. and If this esti-
mate proves true, ii will be the largest
crop which has ever been produced in
this country with but one or two exceptions.
Putting the crop at 525, 900 bushels, rs
conservative calculators are inclined to do,
will leave about l65, 900 for export. This
is said by authorities to be one-third more
than the average annual export Of the last ten
years, and only 20O00,000 less than our maxi
mum record for 1sSO-sl. The European de-
mand. will it is thought. call for every bushel
of the surplus, unless there should be corners
unduly advancing the prices
In this connection an exchange reasons that
while it might be possible for this country TO
do the enormous export business that is now
indicated without a speculative advance in
prices. such a contingency would be ex-
tremely improbable. There have already
been sold for foreign shipment, according to
trade estimates, something like 5O,OOO.OOO
bushels Of new wheat to go ont
during the next three or four
months, and it would be a surprise to
many if these contracts should all be filled,
with the additional business that may be done
in the interval without furry in the specu-
lative markets Such a result might be de-
precated on moral and business grounds but
its probability under the conditions indicated
is recognized, and the feeling that short sell
ing Of wheat is by no means sure winning
speculation is already extant in the grain
trade

Cleveland is to speak of the globe upon the

The appearance Of Grover Cleveland upon
the platforms of Massachusetts,, Iowa and
Ohio would be seized upon by the Republi-
can party as violation Of the general spirit
of his political life, and the accusation which

semblance of the truth TO injure him in the

SITE FOR CREMATORY.

II was not unnatural that those who were
delegated 30 select site for the cremstory
sbould have found il difficult in the beginning
10 decide upon site. The crematory Is an
institution that will confer very Important
benefits upon the community at large but IL
will not DO an agreeable addition To any one
locality. II is. however, necessary that II sn"n
be established; there is a concensus OF opiiiion
10 that effect. and 10 defer the selection OF
site. though local opposition may be strenuous
and individual preferences connctlns'
merely TO defer what is inevitable.
He who fights and runs away Will i've 10
fight another day is jus. as true In TINS IN
stance as in any other. The crematory has
to be erected. but il cannot be erected with
ont site. Why, then. delay in making
choice of the ground where the foundations
of the new structure are TO be laid?
All proper care of course should be taken
to select a site that will cause the crematory
to be least injurious TO property and least
offensive to the sensibilities Of householders.
These conditions have 10 be consulted, but
they should be consulted in a serious and de-
termined spirit without regard to possible
effect upon tho political fortunes Of indi-
viduals.
Place the crematory where you may and
some one will certainly declaim and protest
against it, but the community has an interest
in this matter, which requires that it shall DO

The New York Herald predicts that if the
whole Democratic party plus three-quarters
of all the American women are against the
Republicans, Gabriel might as we'll hang up
his trumpet for no resurrection blast will ever
reach them" This is a safe prediction; and
what is more three-fourths Of the women are
already against the Republicans because of
the advance in prices of all home and domes-
tic articles on account of the Mckinley law.
The Republicans might as well therefore or
der their coffin, because while the women
cannot vote. they can exercise an influence
upon those who can, which though as silent
as the fall of a snow fake is as irresistible as
