No Superabundance Of Wheat.

A rather confident view of the out
look for the wheat market is taken by
Beerbohm's London List, which in its
review January 80 said:
The trade is very difficult to move
out of its inanimate condition and the
promise of continued large supplies
from the United States checks any
desire to operate afresh on the part of
buyers, whose experience during the
past two months has not been of a
nature to encourage operations beyond
those CT a handto-mouth character.
AS is usual in dull times, there are
people who see no end to the down
ward movement, just as in times of eX-
c1tement popular opinion often be-
comes extravaganza in an upward
direction. Even without adventurous
aid, however, the prospects do not
warrant, as far as the writer can see,
any discouraged feelings, although it
is evident enough that the present full
ness Of supply-which is likely to con-
tinue for some weeks yet-is not in
favor of any immediate recovery.
Attention is of course mainly direct
ed to America, SO that it may be well
to analyze the position there. The
Cincinnati Price Current, and other
American journals, basing their cal
culations on the official return OF the
last CROP estimate that the eXportable
surplus in the United States on Jan
uary 1 was 10, 800, 900 quarters that is
to say by leaving stocks at their low
point at last harvest time, America
was still in a position to export TIC
Europe 525, 900 quarters per week to
Europe in the six months ended June
30 next. 1t will therefore probably be
well within the mark to estimate
Americas outside capacity to export
between January l and August /, al
100000 quarters per week.
This is very large quantity, bat
when compared with the European re-
quirements it loses it's magnitude; for
instance, the total requirements for
the season by importing countries, can
not be far from so million quarters, to-
wards which, from August to Deem
Der 81, there were shipped from all
countries about 231 to "a million quar-
tiers, leaving 25 million quarters to be
provided In the remaining seven
months. Of this quantity America, as
has been shown, may possibly send
100000 600 quarters, but probably only
IL million quarters.
Where will the remaining 103 to II
million quarters required in these seven
month come from, with only p to 8
million quarters probable from India,
and Russia closed, and with curtailed
supplies from Australia It is of course
possible that Europe may not finally
need 80 million quarters this season,
and that economy may restrict her re-
quirement but there is quite sufficient
evidence to show that there is no
superabundance of wheat to be ex-
pected. With regard to the immediate
supplies, those in February and March
will be probably below our require
ments, but those in April and May
will hn Ia

The Milk Turned Sour.

| will not tell you her name, but one
of the neighbors says that during her
brief visit the other day the milk
turned sour. Her countenance looks
a yard long. She signs perpetuaIly.-
The cloud on her brow is deep. If
beaten out thin, | believe it would
cover the sky. Her voice is doleful,
and her eyes show no radiance Her
wrinkles are numberless. She is a
sorry picture, and all because she is
the victim of one of those complaints
common to women. Her system is de-
ranged. She needs a course of self
treatment with DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This will eradicate thor
oughly those excruciating periodical
pains and functional weaknesses Incl
dent to her sex, and at the same time
build up and invigorate her whole
system by its health-inparting infiu-
ence. A trial bottle will convince.

THE MODEST LOVER.

WYlen Charles called on his love one night,
PIE found the maid engaged in weeping,
And though enga ging was the sight,
He deemed it somewhat out of keeping,
Because she was engaged to him,
And so he asked her why she cried;
And She with eyes both moist and dim,
Drew forth her 'kerchief, and replied:
Dear Charles, I had to cry, you see,
Be-because my mind was in a whirl:
sup suppose you never had met me,
And gone and loved some other girl?
Suppose, dear Charles. you'd unmarried hel
Be-before our courtship had begun;
Ju-just such a course you might prefer,
B-but darling, what would have done?
Charles stood and twirled his noustache tips
And rose in his own estimation,
Then bent and kissed her on the lips,
The vainest lover in creation.
you've got me,'' said he, with sigh,
Then gave the tips another twirl;
$50, dearest, if you've got to cry,
Just do it for that other girl

MARRIED LIFE.
W. L. II. LECKY.

Two flowers blossom on one stem,
Two stream1ets mingling run;
And love and habit blending make
Two lives as truly one:
One in each interest, hope, and fear,
Whatever chance betide;
One in affections bond, though two
To comfort, strengthen, guide.
When passions torrid zone is past
Hearts only draw more near;
And silent sympathies of love
Strike deeper year by year:
When every little fault is seen,
And every f1eeting mood,
And all the nobler impulses
Are shared and understood.
Yet still our secret, separate dread
VIII sometimes cloud each mind;
All! which must face this cruel world
When left alone behind?

LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.

We arc glad that the initiative has been
taken In settling, for the present at least,
the troublesome and voxstious sewerage
question. The action taken by the City
Council last evening is commendable for
1t brings US one step nearer the goal VIC
have been trying to reach for some time.
We can congratulate ourselves that we
have Mayor who Ia sufficiently wide
awake to sec the needs OF the city and
energetic enough TO accomplish some
thing. The dismissal OF the SO. called ex-
perts on this matter was a wise and
judicious move and left tho way open for
the action that was taken last night. To
him belongs the credit OF bringing about
this move-to the Council the credit of
acting upon bis wise suggestion. Fritter-
ing away the peoples money is anything
but crecitable, but accomplishing some
thing for the health and benefit and
general good OF the city is to bc COM
mendcd. Let the good work go on as 1t
has begun.

STANDING BY EACH OTHER.

Representative Watson doesn't seem &c
have accomplished very much by his at
tack on brother members OF the House
and the investigation into the charges
made In the Representatives, pamphlets
has proved an utter failure. II was O
foregone conclusion that such would be
the result. No one expected one Nom
ber TO enl.ghton the world as to the
failings OF another. They all acted on
the same principle that n lawyer, who
was defending a prisoner charged with
crime, told the jury they should be gov
erned by: "Now Ia time for all those OF
as who are guilty OF the same offence to
stand by each other"

THE WATER SUPPLY.

The rebuilding OF the Lebanon mill and
tho contemplated erection OF another
largo structure for mill purposes In that
vicinity recalls tho subject Of water
supply and the necessity for better &c
comodations in that nelghborhood.
After two destructive and disastrous
fires IL has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the water supply at Lebanon is
inadequate and insufficient.
We possess an excellent water system
and there Is no reason why our manu-
facturers should not have all the protec-
tion against fire necessary. It can hardly
be expected that manufacturers Will erect
large plants when the water supply Il
poor and protection against fire mean ant
dctestable. At small cost comparativel,
the supply there can be made abundant fol
all purposes and the city should do this
without delay.
