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

Wheat made another long stride up
ward in Chicago Saturday, the July OPP
ton closing at GAS cents. which is ia
cents higher than it closed Friday night.
Numerous causes for the days advance
were given. the most prominent of which
was the hitch in TIE Japan-China peace.
The Post prints story that Z. ID. Ar
mOur has practically cOrnered the mar
ket, controlling all available wheat. II
is said that William ii. Wallace, who is
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 20 be
enormous and his control of the stock is
said to be the real cause of the late adj
vance in prices.
The features in corn were the covering
by Phillips in the pit and the big cash
sales. $4,000 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 il took evident
straininS to repress it. The usual statis-
teal 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-
sidercd the smalIness of the country re-
sources. The weeks clearances from
both coasts amounted to 00o00 bushels
less than on the week before. The Min
neap0is and Duluth receipts aggregated
3?34 carloads, compared with 13I n year
ago. and the total at the primary West
ern markets was 1900 bushels as
against 110. 600 bushels on the correspond
ing day of the year before. The Atlantic
port clearances of wheat and flour for
twentyfour hours were equal to 3I3.0OO
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 Il 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
GS,000000 bushels in the visible supply.

Silver and Prices,

The intimate relations existing be-
tween silver and prices is clearly
shown by the markets for the week
Just closed Monday opened with
brisk business on all the exchanges in
London and New York, and in the lat
ter city 10000 ounces Of bar silver
changed hands ut GS and 6Sl4 cents per
ounce. This was the highest point, but

same day, was fixed by the brokers at

Denver and New York Of precisely
eight points. Saturdays quotation was

smelter figures. equal to thirteen points
against an increase in the week pre-
ceding of nineteen points.
Let it be observed right here that
there are two schools of thought on the
topic in hand. One the goldbug school,
denies that there is any relation what
,ver between silver and prices, while
the other-the double standard school
says the relation is intimate and
quite easily shown. OF the latter school
President Andrews, of Brown Univcr-
sity, Providence, may we'll be quoted.
In an interview published last Satur-
day he said:
The immediate result would be ire
mendous revival of business and restora-
ton of depressed values. Money hoard
cd in banks would be turned loose. We
should wrest from Europe most of the
trade with silver countries. Our factO-
ries would be worked to their full capaci-
ty. All of our gold would pass to Europe
but we would not need it: and if our ex-
ample were followed by Europe we would
never have any backsets over it. l hear
Western people talking of the crime Of
1873. do not think any of the members
of Congress were criminal in their ac-
ton. but do think they made a terrible
mistake, and we have suffered from it
ever since.

the people of the cOuntry-and it is
gaining ground rapidly-there would

Some persons admitted that monometal-

appreciated prices and put bound on i'm

brought from India and other countries
wheat ut a price below its legitimate
value ana these persons figured that this
was an advantage to the consumers and
therefore benefited the mass of the com
munity. Mr.. Balfour declared, however,
that he was convinced that nobody in the
city was so foolish as to suppose that the
interests of Great Britain were benefited
generally by an unlimited fall in prices,

Whenever two men get together,
whether it is at the pOstOtficc or at the

the sentiment is almost unanimous that
the United States Government should
Immediately declare in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, re-
SardlesS of the policy of European ma
tons.
Il should say that there are about rs
many silver men in the Republican
party as there are among the Demo

question. Neither party has a monop-
oily of the sentiment, and it looks now
as if they would make race to see
which can make the most sweeping
declarations on the subject.
NO, the Presidents letter will not

LIGHT in Dark Places,


The following editorial from The New
York World is nightly suggestive of
the spreading of the light even in dark
places:
THE last annual report of the Bank
of France shows that it is possible to
keep a stock of gold and silver avail
able at the same time, and also that
silver reserve may lie utilized To pre-
vent the stock of gold from being dimin-
iShed. During 1894 the gold reserve or
the bank was increased 10y $780,
GOO, and since January 1 further adj
dition of S16.OOO,O00 has been made,
bringing the stock of gold up to $42I.-
900. 900. The cause of this Increase IS
simply the natural flow of exchange.
All payments to the bank from foreign
sources are made in gold-in the form
Of ingots or foreign coin. Money in this
shape not being current in France. it
is brought to the bank, which Issues
it's notes in payment Cor it. When it
comes to paying out money. however,
the rule is different. In addition TO its
reserve OF SfZoUUp,ouc Ill Soiu tit DdHA
holds some $2J0. cocoon in silver. When
the notes of the bank are presented the
holder is required TO take Il part i'll sill
yer. If the amount is large and the
bank supposes that il is intended for
export it will pay only onc-half in gold
and half in silver. 1t will sell ingots or
foreign coins. but it will not sell French
gold coins There is only one comment
for us TO make on this. When we find
country steadily increasing both its
gold and silver stock, without either
forced purchases or reissulng green
backs or sales of bonds or currency
famines. we are compelled to say:
They manage these things much better
