WHEAT DEMAND AND SUPPLY.

Ihe OfeSOnlan says lHaI 'nele
may be light upon the probable
future course of wheat prices in
the fact that the slight rise i'll
price has brought large reduction
in exports. This rise has been
brought about by reports and estl-
mates showing this years crop to
be short and the condition of har-
vests to be unsatisfactory. But
foreign demand, which must ulh
mately govern prices, seems to|
have no regard to conditions OF
local supply. The foreigner will
buy American wheat, if he can
get it for a certain price; if not he
will buy Indian, European, South
American or Australian.
Exports from Atlantic ports,
which were about 100000 bush
els per week a month ago, have
fallen below 100000. This is
less than the weekly exports at
this time Jast year, when the
price was much higher. The diff
ference is due to different con-
dit1ons in the worlds markets.
Wheat is cheap and abundant in
all the countries which compete
| with the United States for the sup
ply of Europe. For that reason
we cannot expect to sell to Eu
rope at high price. 1t is a very
| significant fact that, while the ex-
port of American wheat falls off.
shipments from other countries to
Europe increases. The movement
of foreign wheat is unusually
large at present. In the last week
reported shipments from European
| Australian and South American
ports were 1,s72,OOO bushels, and
2,56O,OOO bushels the previous
week. The Dornbusch estimate
makes the amount of wheat anc
flour ell route for the United
| Kingdom and the continent about
forty per cent larger than at the
same date last year.
| The truth seems to be that the
worlds supply of wheat is thl
year equal to and probably in ex
cess of the demand. All trust
worthy estimates agree that thu
production of the year is not mucl
short of the demand, and tha
there are large reserves held owe
from last year. The shortage il
the United States is more than off
set by the increased yield of lndii
and South America and by th'
enormous American surplus o
1892, marketed this spring
Moreover conditions which pre-
vail in other exporting countrle
with which we must compet'
make the price of wheat very low
there. 1t is certain that witt
abundance everywhere we canno
expect a higher price than ou
competitors are wiling to take
What that is may be judged from
the fact that the recent rise o
price stopped exports from thi
country and sent foreign buyer
to other countries for supplies.
Those farmers will probably b.
most wise who take advantage o
the recent rise of price to hastel
their wheat to merket. Thos'
who pursued contrary policy las
fall sold for less money in tn
spring, though prices were KEEP
from falling to the lowest leve

The Birth OF the Opal.

There is a beautiful little story told
about the opal, that d~elicatestone which
you have no doubt seen in rings and
bracelets. The story is that the opal
was long ago promised to anybody who
could discover it. 1t lay hidden away.
so the old fortune tellers used to say, at
the place where the sunlight and the
moonlight joined" each other, and who
ever could find that spot would be re-
warded> by a quantity of large. beautiful
opals. After a long search for the place
where the sunlight and moonlight
joined" each other, the place was found
by a Spanish traveller, who followed up
the rays of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone upon
the earth, and there he found the opals.
They are said to be very lucky stones
for those who are born in the fall of the
year and very unlucky for those born In
the spring. OF curse it Is only a say
