IT is an old story that wheat has again
found the lowest price ever known. AL
though exports from both coasts, -four in
Guided, have been about $4,000, ZOO
bushels, and receipts at the west have
been about 81. 900, 900 bushels for the year

last year to date, the market seems to have

buyers. All prospects seem to give as
surance that the supply for the coming
year will be even greater than the yield of
1898, which everybody now admits was
far IN excess of the government estimate.

beng about Is per cent OF the total Ger
man export for that year. This was 49,,
900 tons more than Germany exported
in 1893 to the American continent, ex-
GLIDING Canada.
Barely fifty years ago Germany re.
ceiYed fully one-half OF her entire sup
ply Of iron from England. and this
reversal OF the course Of traffic may
provoke beyond the channel serious
inquiry into its causes and conditions.
The British iron trade association re-
garded the subject as so important that
it caused q special investigation to be
made by experts. The conclusions are
stated at length In the report and,
briefly summarized, the explanation is
found In the superior technical skill OF
the Germans who overcome British
cheap coal by utilizing scientifically
every bi-product in coke making, such
as tar. gas, ammonia and benZale-in-
stead Of wasting all Of these, as 10 done
in the English and American beehive
oven" process. Then wages in Germany
are lower, freights are cheaper on the
government railroads; royalties are
lower, the workmen are more sub.
missive aud not subject to strikes, and
the government fayors export trade BY
permitting higher prices for home con-
