Grand Rapids suffered Iess IN the
diminution Of her pride N her size and
importance from the revelation OF the
United States census taken last year,

country. She Was officially credited
with o4.lE inhabitants within the old
boundaries. . growth OF 32.l3i IN her
numbers during the decade Of lso0-9o,

State Legislature, caused careful
special census to be taken OF the out

very nearly all, and disclosed the fact
that almost precisely 10000 people
would be added - the city-the precise

During the past twelve months, and
because of the territorial changes, no
actual statistics OF new buildings
erected, or OF money thus invested,
have been collected by the Board or
Irade-as that body has usually done
nor by any other authority. So onl,
general statements OF the yeaBs growth
are possible. IL will be remembered
that in lSS9-90 almost one thousand
new dwellings were built 1t q cost Of
over 81 800, 900, aud many important

lures Beyond question the past year
has largely exceeded that large growth,
and the prospects for the coming year
are highly satisfactory. IL Is far
estimate that 81 .00O, 900 have been in
vested in new buildings the part year.
and that large sum will reach ~ $780,
600 the coming year. Chief Of the great
enterprises Of this nature, now entered
upon, Is the erection of the Michigan
Trust Company's great Office building
on the corner of Pearl aud Ottawa-sts.,
which is to cost one.tenth of the large
sum mentioned, or $250.000 This
mammoth modern city building is to be

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, June 24.-F. NJ. Cockrell,
president of the Dallas elevator company,
says: There is not enough money in
Texas to handle the grain crop as it should
be- The local banks are doing all they can
in the way of money advances, but owing to
the depressed condition of the money mar
kets these advances are much less than last
season. In not having sufficient means to
carry the stock, the result will be that
farmers will be forced to market at export
prices. The milling capacity is large
throughout the state, but as a rule there is
not the means or capacity to carry a sur
plus. AS a result Of this condition of affairs
shipments at low prices have to be
made during the rush of the season,
and later on brought back in
l thought in building public elevators
through the heavy grain-growing sections,
operated the same as those in St Louis,
Chicago and other wheat centers,' that we
had solved the question of extreme low,
prices and the importing of -four by fur
nishing as fine "a collateral as could be
found in the way of public warehouse
why capitalists cannot readily see it to
their interests to- make arrangements to
advance, say, from one-half to two-thirds
of the value of grain ON these receipts.
Such advances as this would enable them,
If money became scarce, to ship to grain
centers and still have large margin to
cover any shrinkage in prices. To give
you more fully my idea: Wheat is worth
to-day in ST Louis from ,96 cents to 81 a
bushel, freight from Is to is cents per
bushel, extras for handling and selling
about 5 cents bushel, making net ex-
pense of shipping from 20 to % cents per
busl,el The bankers could very well af-
ford to advance GO cents bushel, leaving
from II to IL cents bushel margin over
and above expense of shipping to st. Louis.
This margin is more than enough to cover
what shrinkage there might be in values,
and owing to the large. shortage in Europe
the grain must rule at about these prices for
some months unless it be the latter part Of
July and part OF August, when heavy ship
ments are being received at grain centers.
The time is coming when the cereal crop Of
Texas will equal in value the cotton crop of
the state and then it will be necessary for
the banks TO make the same arrangements
to handle the grain that they do to handle
the cotton. Elevators are public neces-
sity, in order TO properly prepare the grain
for market so that it will bring the highest
price possible. As all contracts are based
on No. 2 wheat, and large per cent Of
wheat received direct from the farm will
not classify this without being cleaned, and
all grain is inspected direct from the car;

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 25.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
Futures-Tbere We're large sales again
to-day of spots in Liverpool, but the fact
that there was no advance in deliveries
lends color to the belief that holders were
liberal in their concessions, and that the
large sales are due more to desire on the
part of merchants to dispose of their stocks
than Of spinpers to lay in fresh supply.
The fact, though, that this apparently good
spot demand has continued for several days
has alarmed shorts, and there was a good
deal of covering to-day. the result being an
advance of about points in both markets.
On this side there was some talk of dam
age by drouth in Texas, but our advices are
to the effect that the dry spell in Northern
and Eastern Texas was well broken on
Monday by good rains. In the southern
and western part of the country districts
there has been little rain as yet, but as yet
we are not in possession of any advice re-
porting damage from that cause.

mand in Liverpool, and the close was quiet

hence it often happens that wheat goes into

at lower figure, sometimes several cents :
