A very careful review Of the wheat crops

the Sun. conceding the crops of 1891 and
1892 to be even larger than most estimates.

used as bread and seed and that exported
that toe surface of those extra large crops
has at last been exhausted. We have used
within the past six months at least 50 ,00O,- :
COO bushels of wheat as food for domestic
animals, hogs, cattle, horses and poultry.
Besides the visible supply amounting to
88, COO, COO the Sun estimates that there re
main in farmers hands l38, ,00o, 900. This
will not supply US for the next six months
and furnish as much for export as from
July l, 1894, to Jan. I, 1895. From 10 to
20 millions Of sheat will probably yet be
fed 10 stock. as there is profit in it al the
present prices of corn. Ne are coming to
time when any failure of the wheat crop,
sneh IS occurred in 1893. will leave us not
enough wheat for our own use. 1t Is
reasonably certain, now that farmers have
learned how TO make profit by feeding
wheai to stock, that it will continue to be
so fed, even though wheat gees much high.

facts is good enough SO that farmers need

Is He Dead?

Great interest is Going felt in the fate of
Frank G Lenz the daring bicYclist WHO
passed through Albany in November 1892
on his trip around the world. The Repub-

supposed to have net his death CT been

in locating Lenz. Pressure has become SO
great in Pittsburg, however, that it is re-
ported that the magazine is at least maxi

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The debat on
the administration bill to authorize the
issue of 500. 600 600 gold bonds for the
purpose OF retiring the legal tenders and
treasury notes began in the house today
and continued for six hours. The silver
democrats and populists opposed it out
right. Some of the administration DEM
ocrats, like Hall of Missouri, favored a
substitute on the lines OF the Carlisle
bill, while Read, after speech charging
the present trouble to the deficiency in
the revenue, introduced a bill authoriz-
ing the secretary OF the treasury to sell
5 per cent coin bonds TO keep up the gold
reserve, and certificates of indebtedness,
redeemable at the pleasure OF the gov
eminent.
