Wheat Prices and Wheat Supply.
Rradsfreef'a

In the London Museum OF Practical
Geology q paper was recently read before
the Royal Statistical Society by Mr. R. r.
Crawford on Wheat Prices and Wheat
Supply" It dealt with the fluctuations
in the price of wheet during tho twenty
I'VE years ending with 1888, and with
some Of tho circumstances connected with
Its supply. The author said that one
half of the wheat consumed in the United
Kingdom In the fifteen years to 1893 was
supplied by the United States. Russia and
India. the American supply representing
a third of every loaf. He proceeded
to examine the growth and distribution
OF the wheat-producing area In those
countries. and among the economic con-
ditions under which the grain ID culti-
waited and marketed he discussed the
costs OF production and transport The
conclusions at which he arrived were that
the decline in the price of wheat has
been more Or less uniform In all Euro
pean countries whose ports are free to
grain. that the fail Is mainly the mani
festation OF a natural economic process.
consisting In the settlement OF new lands
and the consequent extension OF the mar
gin OF cultivation to regions where the
cost OF production Is much below that OF
the Older centers of cultivation: that q
review of the prices of the last quarter
or century would Indicate that the fall
has been more apparent since lsSz than In
the earlier years: that cofnc.dent with the
fall since 1857 there has been an expan-
sion OF the wheat-growing area west OF
the Mississippi, particularly in Dakota"

u still spoken OF a. q thing Of beauty and
. person OF engaging appearance. The
writer met him In London last summer.
and had an extended conversation with
the ex-aesthete upon q business matter
which was subsequently settled to the sat-
tsfaction OF all parties concerned. Mr.
Wilde was at that time addicted to wear
Ing cork-soled boots OF q very large and
cumbersome make. and he wore Tapping
trousers that bagged At the knees. His
rather shApelesg body was encased In q
frock coat which might have been made
by an obscure tailor In Newark SO awk-
ward and limiting were Its outlines, and
IL would be the widest possible departure
from the truth to assert that his general
appearance and expression were anything
but repellant. The front Of his coat was
stained with grease. His teeth were dis
colored, and the fat hung In heavy masses
over hts jaw bones. Along with his ,in-
wieldy bulk and general ungainliness CT
movement there was q manner Of assumed
femtninity that aroused ridicule II not dis
gust. Mr.. Wilde sat bumped up In q chair
with his eyes turned upward and his voice
was pitched like q woman's. He twisted
his rings nervously. and occasionally
pressed handkerchief with q narrow lace
border to his lips as he talked. There
were two prominent Americans present
AZ the interview. and they must read with
interest the assertion made In some OF the
dispatches that Mr.. Wilde Ia q man Of
