Action of the French Government Booms
Wheat, Corn and Oats.
There was great excitement on the Chi
cago Board OF Trade for an hour or so the
other morning. The day before nobody
seemed TO want any wheat corn or oats;
their only anxiety then was TO get rid OF
what they already had. All that was
changed Ly cable reports. deafenng
shout shook the rafters OF the building and
the only Ineligible sound from the
mingled voices was: ALL buy!n "Tll buy"
The unintiated were asking each other
what IL was all about The fact was the
French Government had removed the duty
on hay and is preparing TO take the duties
off corn, oats and barley, which means that
the worst that has been reported about the
damage to the French crops from the
years drought is true and they will
need all we can spare of corn, oats aud
other feeding stuff to keep their horses and
cattle alive. What is true OF the situation
in France applies with equal force to Ger
many and England, where dry weather was
equally protracted.

Coming Our Way.

Nine hundred thousand dollars of gold
was ordered Wednesday by Barring, Ma
goun & Co for shipment from London to
New York. The transaction attracted wide
attention In financial circles. because for
many months the yellow metal has been
flowing from our shores. Wall street men
take this as evidence that the adverse tide
has turned, and that gold will now move
continuously in this direction. A Wash
ington dispatch says: The shipment OF
$1,000 in gold to the United States by
Barring & Magoun, Of London, is accepted
in official circles as a siap that the tide has
turned In this dire >tion. Major 6 G.
Brock, until recently chief Of the Bereau
of Statistics OF the Treasury Department,
is among those who have been predicting
an early cessation Of the shipment OF gold
TO Europe and the resumption of gold ex-
ports from that section of the world to this.

Fair Is Prosperous.

The first official statement OF the earn
ings of the Exposition during the month Of
May was made Thursday The profits dur
ing the first twenty seven days the Fair
was open we're something more
than $4,000 This official announce
ment agrees with the assertion made
more than three weeks ago. that
the Exposition was running ahead OF ex-
penses at the rate OF 81, 900 or $4,000 day.
The showing for the first month is re-
garded as particularly good Cold rains
during the early days, incomplete exhibits
and sloppy roadways operated against a
big attendance and therefore against large
receipts The average sum that was
turned into Treasurer seeberger's strong
boxes in May was a little less than $4,000
a day. The pres ent month shows more than
double that amount of daily receipts.
Treasurer Seeberger struck an average for
the first fourteen days Of the month, and
found that his bank account had been
growing regularly at the rate OF S55, 900
every twenty four hours This means that
those strong boxes in his Office will be
crammed with 81. $50, 900 during the month
of June IL the average is maintained.
