BIG CORNER IN WHEAT.
Chicago Packer Said to Have Secured
All Available StOckA

All Available Stocks.
Wheat made another long stride up,
ward in Chicago Saturday, the July op-:
ton closing at 64M cents, which Is 1%
cents higher than Il closed Friday night.
Numerous causes for the days advance
were given, the most prominent of which
was the hitch In the Japan-China peace.
The Post prints story that 4. ID. Ar-
mour has practically cornered the mar
ket, controlling all available wheat 1t
Is said that William III. Wallace, who IL
reported to control all the available stock
of contract grade of wheat in New York,
Is closely connected with the latter on the
DEAL Armour's holdings are said to be
enormous and his control of the stock is
said to be the real cause of the late ad-
vance in prices
The features in corn were the covering
by Phillips In the pit and the big cash
sales, 100000 bushels at least. In oats
there was simply changing with the May,
rather weak considering the surround-
ings. Provisions were helped slightly by
wheat. The trade was not large.
There was not much excitement accom-
panying the advance, but it took evident
straining to repress it. The usual statis-
tical news of the day was bearish and the
weather was favorable for the growing
crop, but everything had to yield to the
confidence of the bulls in what they con-
sidered the smallness of the country re-
sources. The weeks clearances from
both coasts amounted to 100000 bushels
less than on the week before. The Min
neapolis and Duluth receipts aggregated
334 carloads, compared with 137 year
ago, and the total at the primary West
ern markets was 277 900 bushels as
against 10000 bushels on the correspond
ing day of the year before. The Atlantic
port clearances of wheat and -four for
twenty-four hours were equal to $4,000
bushels. Those figures were all in favor
of the bears. but were utterly disregard
ed in the trading, which latter was ruled
as already indicated by scarcity of
wheat believed in by the bulls The bears
refused to seek information beyond what
they could see. and they refused to seek
information beyond what was given on
the blackboard regarding the details of
6S,OO0,000 bushels in the visible supply.

States recognizes gold as the best and
least fuctuating measure of value and
medium of exchange which the commerce
of civilization has thus far utilized. The
time for straddlers is passed. Those who
are for sound currency on gold basis
ought to have the courage to say so and
abide by the results of their convictions.
l have no hesitation in declaring myself
opposed to all free coinage fallacies My
judgment is that silver cannot be restOr-
ed to it's former monetary place in the
commerce of the world, because the sup
ply of silver has outgrown the demand
for silver in the exchanges of civilization.
The relation of supply to demand is the
regulator of value. This axiom applies
alike to salt, silver, sugar and soap. All
the legislation Of the law-making bodies
on the face of the globe can neither miti-
gate nor annul the operation of the mex
orabie law. The relation of supply and
demand is the sole regulator of value"

The first movement of the friends of
free silver coinage in Tennessee to or

call, a gathering of the supporters of the
white metal was held in Memphis, at
which the nucleus of a Bimetallic League
to embrace the entire State was formed.
Before organization was perfected the
meeting declared its principles in a brief
resolution favoring the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1.

From the time of the tariff commission

in revision acceptable to the people. The

course of public discussion. Just as in

that both Populists and free

them.

platform Of a provision for coinage of sill

even willing to change the ratio and
