IN q former issue, the TRANSCRIPT
published an article on the world -
wheat crop, indicating by statistics
and crop estimates, that there is very
great shortage in the supply Of that
cereal. In support Of that assertion
30 far as the crop in this country is
concerned, Bradstreet now reports the
crop for the year1s93in the q. lat four
hundred and forty millions of bushels.
This report is corroborated by q special
investigation by a Western agricultural
paper, and it has also been accepted by
B Bserbohm, the first European authority
on cereal statistics. Last week the
quantity Of wheat and four, as wheat,
exported from the u. 8. and Canada
was two million and seven hundred and
nine thousand bushels, against two
million and eight hundred and sixty
two thousand bushels the week before;
so it is easily seen, at this rate, only a
few weeks will be required to send
abroad the whole fifteen million bushels,
which we now have on hand on export,
OF this year'e product. There is no
reason, outside Of the financial distur-
bance that our country is now In, why
the farmer should not now be realizing
q paying price for his wheat.

Authors and Publishers.


If man wanted to be cynical he
might easily be led to the statement
that to have manuscript refused by a
publisher is becoming to be.a sure in
dication that it has merit. And GER
tainly latter-day experiences would, in
a measure, give color to such belief.
The author of $ The Heavenly Twins
is the latest author to acknowledge
that her book was refused by every
publishing house Of Importance in Lon
don. She sent it from one to another
until the manuscript became so soiled
that she was compelled to recopy it.
Only last winter was she able to find
publisher daring enough to issue it.
Now that the book has sold over co.
600 copies all the publishers are bidding
for Madame Grand's next novel; Rud-
yard Kipling recently told the same
story Of bis ! Soldiers Three" which
no publisher would undertake. Five
publishing houses turned Conan Doyle
away with his & Micah Clarko,n al
though now one of these self-same pub
fishers pays Doyle the highest copy
rights on his books. Clarke Russell
recently said, in print, too, that he
could not induce either an editor or
publisher to look at his !" Wreck of the
Grosvenor, which made his fame six
months after it was published. Rider
Haggard's Dawn also went the
rounds OF the publishing world. Robert
Louis Stevenson could not get hear
ing at first, and now wreaks his ven-
geance on the three houses which re-
fused him by never allowing them to
have a book by him on their lists. Walt
Whitman often told me Of the refusals
of his /. Leaves Of Grass by the pub
fishers. Professor john Bach McMas-
ter's E History was refused BY three
New York houses. Mrs. Stanmard's
Z Bootles, Baby, y indorsed even by
John Ruskin, was rejected by six edi-
tors Richard Harding Davis short
stories were sent back by three news
paper editors. Justin Me Gartly printed
his Grst book himself because no pub.
Usher would do it for him. And SO it
goes, and one might prolong the list
with similar instances of Longfellow
and Browning, who both printed their
first books OF verse; Of Mr.. Howells,
Of Anstey's "Vice Versa,n of Jerome
K. jerome, whose idle Thoughts"
were pronounced 'rubbishn by lead
ind English publisher although 1885,
600 copies Of 1t have now been sold.
That there is encourag ement in these
instances for young authors struggling
to get hearing there is no doubt.
But the road IS hard and long one
