WHEAT LOOKING UP
The Month of March DiminiShes the
Visible Supply Materially.
PRICES STILL VERY LOW
In Four Weeks the Aggregate Reduction
Has Been About 100000 Bushels
Stock Low In New York.

CHICAGO, March 26.-The past two
weeks has greatly reduced the visible |
supply of wheat In this country, and |
prospects are more encouraging than
1t has been this year for better prices.
The appearance last week of demand |
for large blocks of cash wheat created |
the belief In some quarters that the In
equalitles of the situation had at last
been adjusted and that the necessity |
for lowe prices had disappeared. The
New York milling combination took
about 1000, 900 bushels. There were
local sales to 60 abroad OF probably
4OO,O 900 bushels, 250,000 by a single
concern. This was merely the business
announced There might have been a
good deal not made public.
There is going on each day incessant
absorption which is making unusual in
roads on stocks. There never was, with
the exception of 1887, March when the
visible supply made such decreases as
1t Is making this year. In four weeks
the aggregate reduction has been abou.
5000, 900 bushels. In the whole of
March last year the decrease was only
4OO, 900 bushels; in 1892 only 500, 900
bushels. In 1887, when the decreases
were on the present scale, the visible
did not turn and begin again to increase
until October. Although 1t stood at
$4,000, 900 bushels March /, 1t was down
to 10000, 600 by the end of September.
In forming theories the speculator
needs to bear In mind that the price is
about lOc under .he lowest point of
any other year. That the market Is
abnormally low as the stocks are abb
normally large, and that a return to
anything like normal supplies probably
means a considerable advance. This is
why any prospect of restoration OF
the normal in the matter of stocks is
significant.
The foreign situation is dlscouraglng
still, making it certain that any advance
once begun will be vtry slow. There
Is perilous congestion at Chicago,
threatening sores on the advent of the
summer. The cash situation at the sea
board is, on the other hand, improving
In spite of the universal bearishness
there. New York stocks are now
probably less than 100000 bushels
Continued decreases at the rate of those
made through February and Marcf
will make room for half of the Chicago
stock at the seaboard. The spring
wheat farmers are seeding now will
the price of the grain at about the bot
tom. If there is decrease In acreag
proportlonate with the winter whea
decrease, there will be much smalle
crop In 1894 than that of 1893. The de
crease OF 5000, 900 bushels in the visibl
stocks In March, almost Unprecedented
and the sale of a million cash whea
within forty-eisht hours last wee
would Indicate that declines tom thi
range will be rather a matter of tn
old impetus than of any continue
necessity.

NEW CHINESE TREATY.
Pacific Coast Opposition to 1t "A Surprise
to the Administration.

Pacific Coast Opposition to 1t "A Surprise
to the Administration.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Some sur
prise is manifested in administration
circles at the opposition already de-
veloped to the new Chinese treaty.
The new treaty, said one who spoke for
the STATE department, is the outcome of
months of patient work and skillful
negotiation, and it was hoped the state
department had succeeded at last In
settling, in a manner entirely satisfac-
tory, the question of regulating Chinese
immigration. For nearly 10 years this
subject has been source of trouble,
and the rublic has surely appreciated
the danger to which the country has
been exposed of total severance of the
friendly relations with that country
In negotiating the treaty before the
senate, the administration felt that 1t
achieved some very desirable results,
for not only had it set at rest the NOR
ally sound complaint of China, but had,
at the same time preserved in the form
of sacred treaty obligations all the re-
strictive features of existing Chinese
restriction laws that in the opinion OF
the department were worthy of con
sideration.

TAKES TO THE LECTURE FIELD.
A Milwaukee Minister'S Scheme for the
Benefit OF the Masses,

A Milwaukee Minister'S Scheme for the
Benefit OF the Masses,
MILWAUKEE, March &c Rev. Theodore
Clifton, the eloquent and well-known
pastor of the Hanover Street Congrega-
tional Church, this city, has taken to
the lecture field. Mr.. Clifton, though
possessed of unusual gifts for this work,
has made the change largely on account
of his commendable desire to keep in
obtaining the aid of an assistant pastor
in the Hanover Street Church, which is
located among the masses of the people,
many of whom are poor. He has lee
tured in number of Wisconsin towns
as we'll as In st Louis and other large
cities of the west, in all of which his
ability as speaker on current semipo-
litical and religious topics has won him
eulogy from press and pulpit.

The new company, which is to engage

Mr.. Wilson Barrett and his London COM
pany produced the well known play of "The
Silver King last night at the Academy Of
Music, and very excellent production it
was. In the role Of Wilfred Denver, Mr..
Wilson Barrett appears in his strongest light
carefully watched the distinguished actor
that in the title role of the above drama he
s~,eclipses himself.n Certainly the part is a
strong one, and Mr.. Barrett adds to its in
terpretation by his intelligent and scholarly
work.
So well known is the plot of this play that
to mention it is almost superfiuous. Suffice
it to say that it depicts a phase of life by no
means in this work-a-day world.
1t is the same old story of dissipation and its
consequences; love, constancy and the
triumph of virtue and these elements are
woven into a story as picturesque as it IS
instructive.
Mr.. Barrett's work is beyond praise. Every
word he utters, every action performed
reveals the finish of an accomplished actor.
Worthily supporting is Miss Maud Jeffries
as Nellie. IL say half what this charming
actress deserves would occupy columns OF
this paper. Her presentation of the perse-
cuted wife was magnificent, and in the scene
where she becomes aware that her husband,
whom everybody supposed to be dead, is
alive and protecting her, her acting was SO
real, so sympathetic, $50 intense" as Oscar
Wilde would say, that the admiration of the
audience knew no bounds.
Associated with these clever artists is a
body of highly intelligent actors.
Outside of the '.stars," the work of Austin
Melford as Coombe; Frandlyn McLeay as
Cripps; Horace Hodges as Daniel; q. Cooper
Cliffe as the gentlemanly burglar. and Am
brose Manning as Conkett," was extremely
able. Indeed, there is not q weak member
of the company.
At the request of many admirers, Mr.. Bar
rett has decided to make a change IN the
programme as at first announced. Satur
day he Will play 'tVirginiusn instead of 'sThe
Silver King.n This is a welcome change
and no doubt the theatre on that evening
viii be packed.
