While the atmosphere of these United
States is reeking with politics 1 suppose
one might be permitted to sneak in little
fact that the uncertainty of our finance
has literally knocked the staple market
higher, or lower, rather, than it has been
for years. Provisions, oats, corn and
other necessaries have almost touched the
price of production several times during
the last week. Wheat, after a struggle,
finally succumbed and joined the process
sion of lower values. The cloud that is
gathering in the silver States is rolling up
blacker and blacker for the men who are
clamoring for gold market, ana eyerv-
thing is ruled by uncertainty. Threatened
war in parts of Europe and another inva-
sion of our gold reserve has staggered
commerce here in New York very consid-
erably. Nothing will be certain until
after the election, and even then indiscre-
ton may send things tumbling into the
gap of failures. New York appreciates
the necessity of caution, even if it is
merely to re-establish current market
prices.
