The Wheat Market Lower and Weak
Photographic Disturbances HAM
per Husiness-Cables Lower and
Trading EeHtureleSS.

MINNEAPOLIS CHAMBER OF COM
MERCL, May 15-Wheat opened fraction
ally lower this morning and ruled weak and
inactive throughout the morning session.
The trade without it's usual quota of
commercial gossip because of telegraphic
troubles in the East. Early cables ad-
vised that wheat in Liverpool sold at I'D
lower and at London Sd to Cd per quarter
under Saturday. Crop prospects in Eu-
rope still continues very favorable and in
our own country like conditions maintain
with great improvement in the outlook for
California.
The Argentine still remains disturbing <
element in the wheat trade. Orthwein, of
st. Louis, received a private cable from
Liverpool stating that Argentine wheat
sold in that market Saturday at SIC per
bushel. 1t is the settled conviction
among the trade that the winter wheat
harvest will be fully two weeks earlier than
usual, while our visible remains practically
intact with but little hope of reducing it to
any appreciable extent before the new
wheat begins to be marketed Another
increase on passage is reported which in
dicates that free shipments are being made
on the Baltic and sundry ports. Foreigners
We're again free sellers at the seaboard
and July wheat sold down to 59s4c being
Ac under what the local price was at the
same hour.
Clarances from the seaboard were fairly
liberal with few thousands taken for ex-
port second cables advised that wheat
was greatly depressed with values I'D
cheaper than earlier in the day. About
11:30 the bottom appeared to drop out of
the market and the least attempt to sell
caused an immediate decline in price
July wheat opened at 6Oc to 601sc, against
6OAc yesterday, declined to $3.50, firmed up
to 6Oc to 601sc, remained steady for awhile
then dropped to 595sM59a4c, (New York
dropped to $500 gained 1-16c by AS and
by noon sold at 59$4c.

&c under yesterday, firmed up &c, dropped
to 565sG5634c, and gained 1-16c by noon.
The cash wheat was fairly active with
prices well maintained. Offerings were,
however, light, the bulk of the arrivals 60

were made per statement below. Re-
cepts here were 174 cars, shipments 80

During the noon hour the market was
very inactive. Gables were lower and dis
couraging, Bradstreets showing a large de-
crease in the visible supply of the world

nomic laws as to contend that gold need
not rise in doing more than double work
as money, and commodities need not fail
IN like manner, but that changed conditions
OF production account for such fall in
prices? No one is so obtuse as to believe
that there has not been reduction in the
cost of many commodities. but let us hon
estly face the question that money substi-
tutes cannot be made into real money bv
the alchemy of theories that gold will
not continue to rise while it is the only
legal liquidator of debts. The business OF
the world must continue to be paralyzeti
until gold and silver are alike money at a
fixed ratio, whatever else nations may do to
avert it. The United States has suffered
least until lately because of her vast nat
ural wealth and heavy exports to meet for
eign debts. Now with wheat at so cents a
bushel and cotton at less than cost of pro-
duction we have to pay in gold and the
shoe begins to pinch our financial corns,
and the end is not yet.
But here is the calamity of it. These
men are all successful at looking backward;
but for looking forward they are not worth
cent Like the Irish pilot in the old story,
they know every rock in the channel-when
they strike it. They lead the people wrong:
and, when disaster stops them, and they
can so no farther they turn around and
KICK the oracle off his tripod, and proceed
TO utter new lot of Short-Sighted false
prophecies, and the fool multitude follow
them into another mud-hole. And so it
goes from generation to generation ito the
last syllable of recorded time"

stepped in long, loose, struggling line,
beaten by the rain, the sleet, the gushes of
sharp rain. Shivering and draggled,s they
moved on towards the royal town. where
dwelt the king and sat the national assem-
ply, where bread must be had, if any
where at all. Two hours later, 80, 900 men,
moved by hunger, started from Paris to-

the king for justice.

The head of the army, the women, reached
Versailles and spread before the royal
palace. The king, eseing the multitude
from the windows of his palace, sent out
to ask what they wanted. Bread, and to
speak to the king they answered.

From the New Commonwealth of Brook
lyny N. Y.
The time has come for the humanita rians
of the world to close ranks and step for
ward in a solid unbroken line, sinking all
petty differences, setting aside all the
ories, however seductive, which present
necessities relegate to Il future days for
realization. Dogmatists, riders of pet the
ories, anointed prophets of creeds, self
seekers, all these will not surrender to the
pressing necessities of today by divorcng
themselves from their notions and joining
in the concerted action necessary for meet
ing the present emergency Let them stand
aside, and clear the way for the army of
progress, whose gaze is fixed on liberty.
Our house is on fire, we will not sit inside
and wrangle until the roof caves in, and
we are buried in the ruins.
Armies which tramp under the flag of
hunger are ominous of great events. The
masses suffer in silence a long time. When
they become astir, look out, for they mean
business. History shows how long a suf-
fering people may slumber and how eff
fective is its awakening.

THE POWER OF THE POPULISTS
Admissions of the Enemy.

Admissions of the Enemy.
While most of the old party papers are
continually announcing the death of the
Peoples party, there is occasionally one
that does not belong to the cuckoo tribe
that realizes to some extent the ma gntude
OF the popular movement against the plu-
tocratic system obtaining in this country.
Among the latter is the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, which recently said:
If the Populists have a grain of sense
they will have organizations in every state
in the country this year and candidates in
every congressional district.
NO party ever had a better opportunity
than the Populists this year. OF course they
can not put a majority in the house, but
with hard work they can elect enough
members to hold the balance of power and
bring one Of the old parties to their senses.
If they cannot dictate legislation they can
at least prevent any more stealing and help
to throw off the yoke which the plutocracy
has put upon them.
Such an outcome of the elections next
November would be welcomed by no one
moro warmly than by real Democrats of
the Democratic party. 1t would be a salu-
tary lesson or probably break or very much
weaken the influence of the men who if
they are allowed their will, are sure to lead
their party to destruction.
THE Populsts are not very wise and do
not always know what they want, but as
rule they are honest. They may yet develop
into a great party with great mission,
but they lack training. Meanwhile, if they
VIII be content to act as so many flies to
sting the other parties into action, they
will perform a public service for which
Democrats at least will be heartily CRATE
ful.'
The New York Sun is another paper that
sees and realizes the strength of the Popu-
list movement. When the income tax was
incorporated into the Wilson bill and passed
the house that paper, though opposed to the
income tax, expressed itself in the following
remarkable language:
Our hostility to an income tax shall
not prevent from congratulatng the
Populists upon their singular success in in
doctrinating Democratic representatives.
The handful of Populists of pure blood
has become a powerful force through deser-
tons of the Democracy. The income tax
has been made, whatever it may be called
an Indispensable part of the Wilson eco
nomic plan. Indeed, it would be truer to
the facts to say that the Wilson bill is
part, and not the essential part, of the in
come tax plan, for while the Wilson bill is
not revenue breeder but revenue killer
the income tax will produce revenue and
not deficiency. The Wilson bill might be
killed, it ought to be, and yet the in
come tax bill would still be efficacious The
Populist head is more powerful than the
Republican tail; the income tax bill is bet
ter revenue bill, bad as it is, than the Will
son bill.
But what has become of the Democratic
party in congress? There are so-called
Democrats who will support the Republican
tariff measure and the Populist income
tax bill. Where are the Democratic Demo-
Gratis, the Democrats of 1922

Wheat in the Northwest.


The movement of wheat from the interior
to Minneapolis was larger last week than
it was for the corresponding week a year
ago or in 1892. Duluth and Superior re-
ceived more than they did year ago, but
less than two years ago. but the aggregate
at Minneapolis and Duluth was greater for
the week than during either of the previous
two years. The receipts by bushels were
,250 bushels at Minneapolis and $780, l01
bushels at Duluth, total, ,351 bushels,
against S17,669 bushels the previous week,
SIS, ,O20 bushels two weeks ago, ,7O7 bushels
a year ago and 862, 224 bushels two years
ago. Shipments were 103170 bushels from
Minneapolis and 813,314 bushels from Du-
luth.
