THE WHEAT SITUATION.
Why the Price 10 Low and Wheat IL Drug
on the Market.

on the MARKET.
The condition OF the wheat market
continues unsatisfactory, although some
dealers are little more hopeful. The
hopefulness is dne to the apparent GER
tainty that the corn crop is badly injured
and proves how one mans meat may be
another mans poison. The Minneapolis
Tribune, discussing the wheat marEet,
says:
Much ia being said and written abou;
the low price OF wheat, each and every
one having some pet theory to account
for the position. Some writer's have
argued that the worlds consuming de-
mand has fallen off, either directly
through last years panic or indirectly
through the imagined insufliciency of the
metallic money supply. The British i'm
ports OF grain are the safest measure OF
the consumptive demand throughout the
world. The returns for the first bali OF
1894 are now at hand and they show an
astounding increase in the general de-
mand. Great Britain's import OF ahea,
during that period wac not only much
larger than in 1893 but was nearly l0,-
900 600 bushels larger than in the same
six months of 1921 season, 1t will bt
remembered which followed the general
harvest failure in Europe. The simple
fact is that two great wheat producing
states-one of which until lately was
hardly a factor in the worlds supplies
and the other of which has for severa
years suffered from adverse crop condi
TONS are now in the market with ex
ceptionally large amounts of wheat fol
sale. Russia and Argentina, on entering
the market, find the worlds grain storin,
centers piled with wheat; the United
States already cutting prices to marke
it own huge surplus; another heavy croI
in prospect, and India, though still ia
below it's harvest record Of 1891, doubling
its exports over those OF year ago
| This shows clearly that competition ha
grown 30 keen that prices OF all com
peting sellers must be cut.
These facts have a most importan
bearing upon the future trade relation
of this country. While we maintain
anything at all resembling our presen
policy of protection, says the Seattl
Telegraph, we may expect to see tn
steady development of wheat production
in other countries. We declare, t
Great Britain especially and to all tn
rest of Europe, that we did not war
their products. They retaliated by nc
taking ours, not, indeed. by any forms
declaration to that effect, but simply
following the infallible law of commerce
that nations will only buy from nation
which buy from them.

Upwards of 100000 bushels OF last

Washington because the railroads will
not give rate that will justify its ship

Spokesman. Review. The rate to termin-
ais is l4lt cents per bnshel. 1t costs the
farmer 5 cents for hauling, cents for
sacks, 2 cents for warehouse charges,
and cents for threshing-a total of 81 "a

Judge Trout has rendered decision

Never Heard From.

Since the sailing of the schooner AFRAID
ne of this port, Sept. Goth, many inquir-
les have been made concerning the safety
of the crew, consisting of Captain Thorn.
as J Colby and mate Of this city, and
six others. Nothing has been heard of
the vessel or crew up to this date, and
allshopes are given up that they will
ever be heard from. Capt. Colby has
sailed from this port number of years
and has always been lucky. He was a
man much eateemed by all who knew
him. His pleasant disposition Won him
hosts of friends, and his generosity will
be missed by many to whom he has
lent helping hand. He leaves a wife
and two children, and mother, who
reside on Atlantic street. and who
have the sympathy of many friends IN
their sad bereavement.

WINTER SPORTS.
Fast and Furious Fun on Portland Street
The New Sleigh sulky.

There was one of the largest crowds
of the present winter season ON Portland
street yesterday afternoon, and the ice
on the lakelet in behring's Oaks was
black with skaters, the girls much out
numbering the boys in these latter days.
But the fun that the crowd chiefly en-
joyed was on Portland street The skies
were bright and the air frosty, but the
sleighing was splendid. The chief nov
city on the street was the appearance of
the new fad in the form of the sleigh
sulky, in which Mr.. Henry Soule was
driving one of the pair of fast black
mares recently purchased from Colonel
Moore. The sleigh sulky is of course
quite novelty, and attracted much at
tentlon. 1t is simply sulky seat set
upon runners about four feet in length
the whole bound together by an inge-
NOUS truss combination so that tile
weight of the sleigh sull1y is compare
lively nothing for horse. The COM
ments of the horsemen were generally
unfavorable to the sleigh sullzy, based
upon the idea that with the present light
sleigh the horse has nothing to pull at
the traces on the snow, and that to keep
him level the bits do the work. Like
the bike sulky, the sleigh sulky must
be shown to be actually faster.
The principal flyers on the street were
L. P. Hawlxins's Dinah, II. Bakers
Freeman, W. F. Milliken's 22O PAGER, and
Jessie Fl. They had many hard brush
together, and it would require an Isaiah
Pompilly to decide which had the best of
it,
The Rines Bros pair were out in great
form, and few single bitches on the
street were equal to them. Steve Muir
ray had the only other fast showing pair
on the street. John Murray, Of the same
stable, came out and showed Ralph K,
with four vear-old mark of 243 1-2 last
season, and also IS. G. R."
George Rose appeared with his PAGER,
and made a good showing.
Ira Woodbury. seemed to be greatly in
demand as driver. At first he was I'D
behind Dolly H., then Jessie H., then
the Milliken PAGER, and finally behind
his own nimble horse Topaz.
Mr.. John Randall, of the firm of Ran
dali & McAlIister, appeared on the street
with the venerable and still vigorous
chestnut gelding City Marshal The gal
liant old steed, though "a years of age,
with head and tail erect, was one of the
fastest and most observed horses on the
street.

oxen For Farm Work.

A correspondent of The Country Gen
tleman says: I am of opinion that most
farmers who have over so acres of ara
BILE land would find it greatly to their
interest to keep span of horses and a
yoke of young, active oxen. A yoke of
oxen between 4 and 5 years of age, where
horse team was kept. would do all the
extra work on the farm on a feed of hay,
cornstalks and pasture without any
grain at all. At years old, when they
begin to grow sluggish. they could be
sold to the butcher for enough to buy a
yoke Of 4-year-olds to supply their place
on the farm. A span Of old horses when
they get past profitable work cannot be
sold except for q, pittance

A Runaway For Fun.

Yesterday large, handsome black
horse, attached to heavy truck sled,
might have been seen dashing at fran
tic gallop, just ahead of the electric car
on Forest avenue, Deering.
The horse ran like deer, and the great
sled bumped from hollow to hollow,
sometimes leaving the snow entirely.
Yet the driver was laughing, the reins
were loose and it was only the drivers
and horses of the other teams that were
frightened. The same horse might have
been seen racing with the electric car in
the same way the day before. He does
it because he enjoys it. He will start off
at gallop on the least provocation, but
not unless his master wishes him to,
because it is not fear but fun that impels
him, and tight rein and word of COM
mand stops him. He acquired his taste
for running when he was in the fire de-
partment. After racing with the electri c
car from Woodfords to Portland and
winning in fine style, he will stand by
car to pass without the slightest trace
of fear OF agitation. If you have never
ridden in the cab. of locomotive and
would care to realize something of it's ex-
element, just become passenger some
day on the empty truck sled behind that
horse with the electric car in hot pur-
suit. The horse is owned by Frank e.
Congdon, teamster, who lives at Wood
fords, and who is quite satisfied that he
doesn't want any better companion in
his business

european Yours for "stiffs. y

The steamer men have queer name
for certain class of help that goes over
to Europe as assistants in the cattle
steamers from this port. In these times
there are many men who want to get
back to the old country, but have nc
money for the passage. Not long ago
there was good looking young man on
the wharves of Portland waiting to get
back free, who claimed to be an English
lord. The cattle shippers have been
quick to turn the situation to account
They have three good, paid men who go
on every ship to look after The cattle
and with them they send six or eight of
the penniless wanderers, who are called
"stiffs". "Three paid men and six stiffsn
