ke,s has been followed by more healthy
tone, and hopes are fixed on the ships
bringing over ell, 100000 gold and on the
extra session OF Congress which will begin
on Monday. Several Of the largest and
boldest operators at Chicago have been
crushed under pork barrels, but the instant
increase Of foreign purchases convinces the
markets that the disaster has brought q
certain measure Of relief.
The monetary str:gency which at last
crushed specuations in wheat and hog pro.
ducts, has been caused In part by their pre-.
Nention OF exports and their absorption OF
enormous capital In carrying unprecedent-
ed stocks Of production which " sold in
time TO foreign consumers would have
brought gold enough to avert much evil.
With the great surplus OF wheat brought
over from previous years this country will
be able 10 meet nil demands, even though
the crop proves small enough TO Justify a
considerable advance from previous prices.

Fined and thrilled her with o longing for the
