CHICAGO-Black news from Russia as to
crops lifted wheat over q cent here to-day
from an early break attributed in part to ap-
prehension of the Hatch anti-option bill be-

of harvesting in some sections of Kansas, in
Oklahoma, and to commence next week in
California. At the decline there was
sharp demand, shorts commencing to cover.
Then came cablegram, claimed to be Off

WAS worse than the crop OF 1891 There were
also reports of damage to the crop here by
hot winds.
The poor quality of the late arrivals of
corn had bulish effect. and the fact that
the cash market holds up wen was also used
to keep the price in the speculative market.

prominent commission houses and covering

prices shows a net gain of &c.
Oats opened weak at 15c under yesterdays

COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
Strawberries are now down to such low
prices that fruit preservers are taking in all
that come. A leading firm bought up on
Tuesday large quantities at 6 to &c per box.
The demand for preserving has prevented
glut which would otherwise have occurred.
The best on the market were sold to-day at
10c per box. Elgin creamery has been ad-
vanced 1c per pound, as our quotations will
disclose. Country butter has only nomi-
nal value. A good article was sold to-day
at 1Oc per pound. Strictly fresh eggs are
firm, but few are to be had. Poultry is in
light supply, and demand is also light.
Southern potatoes are plenty and lower.
Old potatoes OF good quality are scarce.

QUIET AND EASY,
The Money Market Likely to Remain Un-
disturbed Until Fall.

If there was any improvement in the local
monetary situation yesterday it was very
slight. This refers to discounting. Clerical
work was fair, checking and depositing
being we'll up. Some relief is expected from
the pressure of idle funds during the July
settlements, but there Is not much likeli-
hood that the present easy condition of the
market will be materially disturbed before
fall. Interest rates were 5@6. Bank clear
ings were $2.62 ,597 81 and balances s606 399 SO.
A Chicago paper says: cit is fact not
generally known that with all the talk about
dullness and depression in money the loan
lines of the smaller national banks and of
most of the large trust companies have
reached proportions that are quite satisiac-
tory to their managers. That the discount
market is quiet enough is proven by the
light offerings of commercial paper to note
brokers. But grain receivers have lately
been using considerable money and the
packers were rarely in our history such
steady borrowers as at present.

also determined to my entire satisfac-
ton that metallic Au. and Ag. is rapid
~ dissolved in contact and agitation
with the solution. If the metals men,
toned were in a reasonably fine state
of division, it took just 20 minutes by
the watch to dissolve to clear So
luton a given weight of gold, and
forty minutes for the same weight OF
silver. / further found that, while
the solution OF ] per cent cyanide
would dissolve also high percentage
Of platinum, which happened to be
slloyed with some OF the samples
treated, it requires about three times
longer to completely dissolve the said
alloy. This seems to be analogous
with the inferior solubulity Of the Fl.
compound with gold in its pure state
or aloyed with silver in other SOL
vents.H

II is said that Thomas Jefferson
once, after the new government of
our country was fairly launched, was
asked his opinion as to its probable
lifetime. His answer was that there
was but one danger, and then added,
81 wish there could be sea Of fire
between our country and Europe"
In his far-sigh,ed vision, he may have
seen the danger which would come
OF the mighty influx OF people from
across the sea, bringing with them in
the mighty host their lunatics and
their criminals. But we do not be-
lieve that was what was in his mind.
We believe he feared European in
huence, and that he looked forward
TO time when the rich people of our
country would begin to ape Europe
an ways; when a vulgar aristocrscy
of wealth would spring up; when
Americans would cease to have pride
in their own country and bewail the
fact that they we're not born across
the sea; and further, the power OF
Europe would be exercised upon the
trade and finance OF this country to
put us forever in leading strings with
the Old World. Whether he saw il
or not, all these things have come.
