COMMERCIAL and FINANCIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs, sc.

The Cincinnati Price Current of December
22nd says the feature noted week ago, of an
enlarging inquiry for wheat for southern mill
ing points, has continued to exert some influ-
ence. but business has been more or less re-
stricted by difference in views as to values.
The milling interest in many of the southern
districts appears inc lined to let stocks of flour
run down, or to close down entirely; in Vir-
ginia; however, operations are well maintain
ed, and eastern millers are manifesting more
interest in western supplies.
The -four trade is lacking in activity. the
smaller distributors, accustomed to seeing the
market tend toward easier figures, deferring
purchases as far as practicable until after the
holidays. 1t is reasonable to expect quite a
revival in demand from such sources by the
middle of January.
The Chicago wheat market has been one of
Weakness so far as prices have been concern
ed. the past week. But there have been
elements of underlying strength apparent
which are taken as positive, so far as having a
bearing on the future. One of these features
is the reported condition of trading operations
by which transactions do not ''ring OUT in
the usual manner-suggesting that contracts
are being largely held for other than a mere
scalping object.
December wheat closes at Chicago lie lower
than a week ago, and &c above the lowest
point; May wheat &c lower than week ago
and &c above the lowest point.
The movement of corn continues of fail
proportions, and visible stocks of this grain
are well maintained. The Chicago market
closes 1sc on December and 1sc on May lower
than week ago.
The approximate situation of wheat sup
plies in the United States on December l il
comparison with last year is fairly shown il

the following brief, but comprehensive
essay
Manage? What is that? Does it
mean to control? We manage horse.
We use our superior human intellect to
control and guide his superior physical
strength SO as to obtain the best results.
But wife is not a horse. Where two
persons are we'll married, the wife is SUI
perior to her husband in as many re-
spects as he is superior to her in others.
If happiness is to be the result of the
union, the first business of the husband
is to manage himself so as to keep him.
self always his wife's respectful friend.
always her tender lover, always her
equal partner, always her superior pro-
tector. This will necessarily stimulate
the wife to be always an admiring
friend, always an affectionate sweet
heart, always thrifty housewife, al
ways confiding ward. And this will
so react upon the husband that his love
for his wife will grow so as to make it
easy for her husband, with all his faults,
to bear with the infirmities of his one
and only wife"

A LONDON VIEW or ENGIAND's INTERESTS.
LONDON. Nov. 29-Referring to the pro-
ceedilgS of the monetary conference the
Ddiy .Ne,es says
Alfred DE Rothschild's plan, which seems
to have saved the conference from col
lapsing, turns out to be a mild palliative
and i'll no wise heroic. Theoretically it
would be best TO let silver alone; but when
we find a Rothschid trying, tooth and
nail, to prevent the collapse Of the con
ference, 1t may be supposed that such a
result would be disastrous. We cannot
suppose it to be remotely suggested that
iive-pound notes be made redeemable in
silver.
The most striking part of the plan is
the implied belief of a first rank financier
that unless something is done America
will discontinue the purchase of silver.
America is perhaps the richest country in
the world and cannot be ignored. Were
she TO sell silver we might be compelled to
close the Indian mint. Even then we
might be terribly hampercd if America
reached a big gold loan. 1t is not Europc's
interest to prccipatate a currency crisis in
America The disturbance of trade would
amount to catastrophe.
