where it is alleged his vote on one or

he explains his views as to the rail

The " heat Market.

SO many farmers held wheat from
the last crop at Il loss, that there
will doubtless be an early rush OF the
crop to the elevators this year;
bat it is more than likely that it viii
prove mistake. The crop of The
United States will be about $50, 900,
600 bushels less in 1892 than it was
in 1891. While localities in the
Northwest have enormous crops,
this is not the rl,le. In many parts
wheat was light, in others the aver
age was less than last year, and in
still Others local storms Of almost
unprecedented severity lodged the
grain while it was in the milk and did
not fill. Rust and heat bIighted the
crop in some fields. All these fatali-
ties, while not general, will cut down
the expected yield of the Northwest
The thresher, last year, brought
out more wheat than was looked for
This season the yield is likely to be
disappointing, as many conditions
have been unfavorable to perfect fill
ing. These facts, and the prospects
that 20O,OOO,OOO will be wanted for
export, makes the outlook such that
the prices should advance. Bayers
wish, OF course, to get the bulk OF the
crop at as low price as possible,
and every effort will be made to
hold the market down until the farm
ers who are forced to sell, have dump
ed their wheat, and then the price
will DO allowed to rise a few cents.
One year with another, the farmer
who sells when his wheat is ready
fares the best. The question now is,
is this the year to sell from the
machine? The Northwestern Agri-

The value OF our exports OF bread

ana large importntions from abroad
would have greatly augmented, has
fallen from sos 900 900 in 1917 to
$2l 900, 900 in 1851, With almost a
certainty OF a still further reduction
in 1852. The policy which dictated
a low rate OF duties on foreign mer-
chandise,it was thought by those who
established it, would tend to benefit
the farming population of this roun-
try by increasing the Demand and
raising the price OF our agricultural
products in foreign markets. The
