Blocked the Game.

A well known Main street business
man of Holyoke received a telegram a
few days ago bearing the signature
of his brother-in-law, asking him
to send him fifty dollars, as he was
strapped" at Chicago. Tho telegram
did not give the Holyoke mans full
name, but it named his business and
Main street address. After thinking the
matter over a few moments he concluded
it was a bunco game, and sent a tele-

asking If he was at home. He soon re-
ceived an affirmative reply and the IN

THAT there is Il deficit i'm the
worlds supply of wheat is not ques-
toned; but how much. The millers
claim only 24,OO0,0OO, bushels while
the alliance organs go so far to the
other extreme as to claim over 9nO,-
100000. Strike the average between
the two extremes-l12. OO0,oO bushels
and we have likely come nearer the
true figures. But is the farmer to
hold his wheat OF rush it onto the
market! DO neither. Donnelly,
catering to the millers whose plan it
is to ruin the price Of wheat by get
ting the farmers to rush their pro
duct onto the market, advises the
non-holding of wheat: and the alli-
ance says to the farmer, hold your
wheat. The advise of neither is safe:
be not guided by the bulls 0 the
bears; the former will hold out guild
ell hopes OF impossible prices, while
the latter will create u panic that will
rush grain prematurely into the maj
ket and into the hands of Spectators.
Prices are bound to be good this year,
and the farmer should bide his time
and exercise his own judgment as to
the time to sell.
