FLOUR JUMPS Up
In Price At An Alarming Rate.
Comparison of Prices-The
Cause

The condition OF the wheat market is exCit
ing considerable interest While the price 1.
gradually crawling up, the supply in this part
of the country seems to be about exhausted.
Wheat sold in Canton Saturday for s5 cents
At Massillon il was reported as selling in linn.
tied quantities at 80 cents while in Minerva 81
was given.
This upward tendency of wheat naturally
has its effect on the -four market. Flour was
selling four weeks ago at g., 80 per barrel. 1t
began gradually to increase in price, and at
the beginning of last week was selling for SO 90.
About the middle of the week, however, il
made lively plunge upward tos41O. Anoth-
other big Jump of forty cents was made on Sat
urday, when flour went up to $3.50 barrel.
-Four weeks ago flour was selling at 65 cents
a sack. Monday it was retailing for sl,25 a
sack.
Some of the grocers have large amount OF
flour stored away and expect TO realize cOnsid.
cradle profit on it. As rule, though, the
local stock is rather low. Several OF the local
mills will be compelled TO close down within
the next few days, on account oftheir inability
TO secure wheat, and will be unable TO fill
orders. For the past two weeks it has been
impossible for the local grocers to secure an or
der of more than five barrels at one time.
The rise in flour is already affecting the
prices of bread, crackers, cakes, etc, Bread
has advanced to five cents per loaf, and crack
ers are a half cent higher.
1t was the general opinion of our groCer5that
flour would be 81 80 per sack before many
days.
prominent miller was asked what he
thought of the situation. He stated that it
would be a good thing for the country. If
wheat was 81 per bushel it would mean S2,-
500, 900 more to the farmers than they received
last year. Wheat has been selling at too low
price to make its raising profitable, 1t
should go to a dollar and stay there. The fact
that farmers had been feeding great deal Of
grain to stock during the winter had a great
deal TO do with the present scarcity.

KNOCKOUT FIGURES

On Free silver Coinagc-The Director
ing Figures es-Representative Tarsney
Has Weakened on Free Silver Craze
and Says IL is Confined to Politicians
Better Crops and Less Populism.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Washington, May % One of the cries of
the free silver ad dsocatcs has been that the
worlds supply of gold is insufficient to do the
business Of the world, and that II is decreasing.
This construction receives a pretty effectual
answer in the report of Director of the Mint
Preston, made public yesterday in which the
production of gold is shown to have increased
s21, 600 600 in 1894, and of that amount $3 $780,
900 represents the increased production of the
United States. This would indicate that there
is no scarcity of the vel ow metal.
One interesting point in the detailed report
of the production of silver in the United States
is that four states have produced 91l per cent
of the whole output These states are Colora.
dy, with 90, 2sl, 800 ounces; Montana, with 12,
500, ,Osl ounces; Utah, with 5,so1 300 ounces,
and Idaho, with S,2ss,54 ounces, total Of
1921, 929 out of the aggregate production in
the whole country of 40, 100000.
It might be interesting to those outside Of
these four states who are crying for the free
coinage of silver to know that If the govern
ment were to adopt free coinage II would pre-
sent outright per capita gift of so9.14 to the
citizens of chose states. The market value Of
that bullion at the prevailing rate for 1894,
which was 65I cents per ounce, was SOS, ,75i, 900,
Its coinage value would have been s5s, ,5i5, 1888.
The estimated population of the four states is
about 10000 souls.
This is one of the strongest object lessons
yet produced of the effect of free coinage. No
body would be benefited but the silver pro-
ducers, and 9ll per cent of them are located
in four sparsely settled states. In addition to
their big output of silver these four states pro.
duced II 7-1O per cent. of the total gold produc.
ton of the country.
These figures of Director Preston will be
used largely by the sound money missionaries
in their effort to bring back the wandering
democrats Of the south and west. There are
indications that the work of the administra.
ton is meeting with success.
Representative John Tarsney of Kansas City,
who has been a rabid free silver democrat in
his own district and ON the floor of the House.
arrived in Washington today. Mr.. Tarsney
said.
This talk about the free coinage..of silver
is dying out. The farmers out my way have
no time for it. They are talking about crops
and the weather and are thanking God that
their crops are worth talking about.
"The prospects are for an abundant harvest
all over country, and that will DO more than
anything else to stop this speculating about
the free coinage of silver. The agitation about
free silver is confined now to the politicians
who must have something to talk about"

Will Not Tax Members.

At Wednesday afternoons session of the
grand lodge nearly all the time was taken up
in discussing questions relative to the Spring
field Odd Fellows home. There were num-
Der who desired to swell this fund by levying
tax Of one dollar per head upon the Odd
Fellows of the state. Other methods were also
suggested and discussed at length but finally
ii was decided to stick to the present method
and raise money by contribution only.
A resolution was passed recommending that
the Rebekahs hereafter have representation in
the state convention by districts instead of by
lodges. This will reduce the representation Of
the women.
Charters were granted to several small lodges
in the state.

upset. One Of the ladies was thrown against
the telephone pole and badly bruised. She
was assisted to near by house and soon re-
covered sufficient to be sent home. The other
lady was thrown on the street pavement but
not much injured. The horse stopped as soon
as the accident occurred.

A HOND MATTER

The city council of Massilon has instructed
Solicitor Willison to commence an action
against the Canton-Massillon Railway Com
pany to recover payment of bond in the sum
of $1,000. This bond was alleged to be forfeit
ed by the company by failing TO have their
line extended to Navarro from Massillon.
Although numerous efforts have been made
by the Canton Massillon Electric Railway Com
pany to secure the money necessary to COM
plete their line to Navarro, ii is no more able
to build now than II was one year ago. Every
effort to secure amounts on the securities
offered has failed" said A. J. Underhill, secre-
tary ofthe company. He also remarked that
the company fully expected to extend the
line to NavOrre this summer and win yet do SO
If money can be obtained. Bonds are offered as
sureties and purchasers are all that are requir-
cd. No difficulty was experienced In disposing
Of the bonds for the construction Of the line be-
tween Canton and Massillon, and the Navarro
extension should receive as much attention"

Tuscaawas street near the bridge. A lady
was in the buggy at the time, but was not in

CONDITION oF CROPS.

The Ohio weather and crop bureau has issued
the following bulletin Tor this section for the
week ending May 27:
The first part of the week was cold, with
hard frosts on the 20, 2l, %, and light frosts in
some counties on the morning of the 23rd
Very little rain has fallen, fair weather pre-
vailing during most of the week. Good rains
and warm weather is needed for all kinds of
vegetation. Wheat shows fair growth and
does not appear to be injured by the cold freez.
ing weather, except on low, mucky ground,
where it was damaged considerably. Oats
have been damaged slightly in some counties,
and they have not made much growth. Early
planted corn was generally up, except in the
northeast counties along the lake, and was cut to
the ground by the frOsts; replanting is general,
but worms are at work in some counties. Clover
looks fairly well, but is being injured in some
places by worms. Meadows and pastures are
generally short, and rains are badly needed for
all grass lands. Barley is heading in some
counties and, with rye, has been injured in
many localities. Early potatoes were all QUITO
the ground, which will much delay their
growth; bugs are reported as numerous in some
places. All garden truck that was up has been
injured or destroyed by the frosts. Fruits of
all kinds have suffered by the cold freezing
weather, and in many places the grape crop is
reported as entirely destroyed. Apples seem to
have suffered the least damage. Berries have
been much injured and in some counties
seriously damaged.
