THE farmers of the United States, SAYS
the Philadelphia Record, who at this time
are close and interested observers of the
ups and downs of prices in the grain
markets, will see that the recent drop in
European prices was instantly followed
by proportionate falling off in prices
in the home market. This shows that
the price paid for our surplus by foreign
ers fixes the price of the whole crop. 1t
ought also to show the farmer that, while
he is obliged to sell his wheat, corn, cot
ton, pork, beef and other staples of his
production for what he can get in open
competition with all the rest of the
world, he is cut of from the advantage
of buying his clothing, tools, salt lum-
ber, fuel and other necessares of living
in cheaper markets. As a seller he COM
petes with the lowest sellers; as a buyer
he is obliged to buy in the dearest mar
ket In other words he is made to car
~ on his broad back all the puny and
starveling industries which cannot be
sustained except by means of such COM
pulsory assistance.

THE facts of the terrible loss of life by
the overflow of the Consuegra, on Sun
day in Spain, are beginning to be known.
The official statement shows that l 800
perished in the awful flood at Amarguil-
10 and hundreds were injured by the
buildings crumbling and falling upon
them. Thousands of cattle perished and
much loss of life and property is report
ed elsewhere. The province of Toledo
suffered the most. At PRESENT. it is utter
ly impossible to send assistance to the
survivors, as all road and railway COM
munication with the scene of the disas-
ter has been cut off. Serious storms and
floods are reported in various parts of
Spain, and railway communication is
interrupted at several points. The work
of relieving the destitute in the flooded
districts is very difficult The flood de-
rallied train near Castillego, and one
person was killed and three were injured.

THE railroad officials in the general
offices of the Northwestern lines at St.
Paul, Mimi, say that SO far as they
can tell the several circulars that have
been issued by different authorities of the
Farmers Alliance to the farmers, in
structing them to hold their wheat, are
having little effect. In Kansas and
Iowa, where the farmers are more indie
pendent financially, it is thought that
they will be influenced somewhat to hold
their grain, but in the Dakotas and
Western and Northwestern Minnesota,
where several poor seasons have obliged
the farmers to borrow freely and thus
practically mortage their crops in adj
vance, grain will move as usal, and has
already begun to do so.

\ REPORT was started in Europe that
British troops had taken possession of
the Island of Sigri, on the west coast of
the Island OF Mitylene, an island belong
ing to Turkey, near the coast of Asia
Minor, for the purpose of holding the
key to the Dardanelles. The report is
said to be untrue and the only justifca-
ton of the rumor' is found in the fact
that party of British naval officers, on
Saturday last, left their ship for the pur-
pose of picnicking on derserted islet
off Cape Sigri. The party re-embarked
the same evening, and on Sunday their
vessel sailed.
