In accounting for the prevailing low
price OF wheat, the Chicago Herald says
there are any number Of causes, and
advances the proposition that new
level is about to be established for
wheat, beyond which 1t is not likely to
rise except by the boldest manipula-
ton. and then only for brief periods. 1t
is one OF the peculIarIties of the present
condition, II says, that no bear move
ment has been required to keep wheat
down. It has sunk lower and lower
without any OF the Influences traders
employ to force down prices. 1T is con-
ceded by all spectators. as well as by
those whose interests are greater than
margin profits or losses. that wheat de,
clined during the panic through sympa-
thy with other stocks and commodities (.
It would be unreasonable to expect IL
TO stand firm and alone In the general
collapse that brought everything else
down. But the decline cannot be charged
exclusively to the panic, nor is Its con.
tlnued prostration after other stock raj
lied explained by those who point to
that as the cause OF prices prevailing
low" The admission is made. too, that
the present low price OF wheat is the
natural result Of the prevailing ilnan-
cIal depression. assisted by overproduc-
tion and the holding back Of market
able supplies by farmers, The whole
story may be easily told in three words
--too much wheat-and the statistics to
prove 1t need not occupy much space.

MAPLE FLOORING.
That Wood Being Used to Consider
able Extent in the East

Among the noteworthy features Of re-
cent lumber trade development in the
east is the rapidly increasing demand
for maple flooring. Improvement in the
method Of manufacture has kept pace
with the growth in demand for product
or perhaps It is more exact to say that
the recognition of maple flooring has
been forced on the attention Of consum-
ers by the enterprise Of manufacturers
In turning out perfected product and
urging it on public attention. A few
years ago all the maple flooring used
was worked out on orders by few
planning mills The hardwood dealers
carried maple strips in their yards, and
had them dressed and matched when
they happened to receive an order for
flooring Now great manufactures have
been established for the sole purpose of
producing maple flooring. Exact, strong
and swift machinery has been invented
to work out the stuff The boring ma
chine has rendered mailing easy, and
ilOW tOileS lilt tllu HlhttiiillB ihNShtiOh
Maple flooring has come to be regarded
as the thing indispensable in most pub
lie buildings, and is used largely in prl-
vate dwellings. Such an extent has the
demand reached that the larger dealers
are obliged to make contracts for mill
ions of feet far in advance of require
ment, the same as is done with pine, or
any other wood of extensive sale and
consumption in the building trades and
manufacturing
The supply however, is far from in
exhaustible, but eastern men can find
consolation in the fact that the Pacific
Coast forests will supply the best fir in
the world for many generations to
come. and the fame of Clatsop county
win yet be heralded to the world as the
greatest lumber-producing county in
Oregon.
