The Wheat Strike

Au0 vVuS4S SIItN0,
WisAMaToN, D. c.. July oh. w. Aver,
secretary to President Polk. of the Farmers'
alliance. and manager in this city of the Re
form Press bureau, which Is also known as
the alliance Press Bureau" says that the
work Of sending out circulars designed to
show the farmers of the country that it was
to their advantage to hold back their wheat
crop. was actively proceeding in this city as
the great wheat belt. Aver says there have
already been 100000 of these circulars sent
out from Washington, and during tho next
few days an average of loo. ZOO day will DO
mailed, until more than q million circulars
altogether are issued. The circular, he said,
will also be published in about 1000 weekly
papers with which this bureau is connected.
He remarked that he need not say that the
circular had brought about any result, but
he had noticed in the recent market reports
that, as matter of fact, the. actual move
ment of wheat was 140 car loads less than
had been estimated. Aver said the informa-
ton that the issue of such a circular by the
alliance men was in contemplation became
public prematurely about two weeks ago,
when the circular was in course of prepara-
ton, and was published in a newspaper. The
final decision to issue the circular had not at
that tune been made and many leading alli-
ance men are unaware of 1t, but it since had
been determined on. He explained that the
executive committee of the alliance had not
acted on this matter, and that by the circular
no order was given to hold back their crop,
this being contrary to the methods of tho
alliance. What is done by the circular is
to give the farmers information as to the
facts IN regard to the worlds wheat crop,
with the suggestion that wheat, some weeks
later than the present time, would bring
higher prices.

LONDON, July 22.-The Times summarizes
tho harvest prospects of the world as fellows:
In Russia there is grave deficit, the peas
antry are starving and there Il small hope Of
relief. In India there is serious ANXIETY; q
famine prevails over q considerable portion
OF the country. There is drought in Bengal.
md the need Of more rain is urgent Bonn
bay alone promises good harvest.
The American harvest will b good in
quality and amount, but the failure of the
Indian and Russian supplies makes 1t of the
utmost importance that the English crop
shall not b short. The prospect on the
whole 10 good. In the chief wheat counties,
Esssx, Norfolk and Suffolk. the crop il above
The average. Their harvest will be late and
prices will be high. There 10, therefore, q
good outlook for tho English farmer to break

Judge Mckay.

TOPEKA, Kan.-The case before the su-
preme court, arising from the action of q
district Judge in ignoring an order made by
the chief justice, come up for hearing before
q full bench.
Judge Mckay, in a Harper county case,
virtually reversed the action of the supreme
court. He was heard on his own part and also
by attorneys. Judge Mckay explained that
bus action was, as he understood it, legal,
and not with any intentional disrespect for
the higher court.
In the arguments made much was said re-
lating to the merits of the Harper county
case, but the supreme judges repeatedly said
that this had nothing whatever to do with the
question at issue, which was one of contempt
only.
Chief Justice Horton, for the court, in
rendering his decision, stated with great
irmness that in continuing the case until the
September term of the supreme court. the
order of the court heretofore made must be
observed, and that if it was disregarded the
severity of the penalty would teach district
and probate courts as well as individuals that
the orders of the highest court of the state
could not be disobeyed with impunity.

The Weeks Trade Record.

Inc weeks lFaO6 RECORD.
NEW YORK, July N.-R. q. Dun d Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
Some improvement in the business situa-
ton is still noted. There is more actual
trade in most of the leading branches and
more general confidence as to the future.
The monetary situation does not grow clearer,
as speculation in products is springing up
which threatens to make trouble when the
crop movement becomes large.
The distribution of circulars in enormous
numbers from Minneapolis and Washington,
professedly by the farmers alliance, advising
all farmers to hold their wheat, does not yet
affect actual receipts, but stimulates to buy
largely in each speculative boom, and much
money is already locked up in carrying the
accumulating stocks. With utmost freedom
in the movement of wheat, the recovery
from Europe of $4,000, 600 in gold shipped
this year would be difficult, but with wheat
exports checked for some months, the scare
ity of money would be felt In all markets
and all branches of industry.
Reports concerning trade are generally
more favorable than q week ago. As to the
west the crop prospects are brilliant every
where. Chicago reports wheat receipts i've
times last years, an increase of 30 to 50 per
cent. in dressed beef, hides and butter; but
some decrease in cured meats and lard.
Wheat does not move largely at st. Louis,
though money - going into ILLINOIS towns to
some extent
Trade Improves at Kansas City. money be-
ing in demand for packers and grain dealers.
At the south little change is noted. Spec
ulation in breadstufs suddenly became active.
Sales of 1900, 600 bushels of wheat here
have resulted in an advance of BIC per BUSH
Ell, though q moderate official estimate of
the crop would leave nearly 200, 000, 900 bush
els in the country for export, a quantity
greater than has ever yet been taken abroad.
Corn declined &c and oats Il &c on small trade,
having been unnaturally hi9n. Pork pro-
ducts rose again and speculations 10 forshad-
owed. Potatoes and apples are lower ana
farm products generally getting back to their
normal range. The average price Of all cou1-
