WHEAT TO GO HIGHER
Seems To Be the Belief Among
the English Growers.
HOLDING ON TO THEIR STOCKS.

Manager OF Large London Grain Firm
France May become an Importer.
London, Oct. 30.-A remarkable feat
ure Of the situation. one plainly indi-
eating the belief that higher prices are
coming. is that the farmers In the
wheat -Srowing districts OF Englsnd
are firmly holding on to their stock.
even though the figures now obtained
are much higher than they had ever
hoped to see again. The continued
trict, and the measures row being ar
ranged by the East Indian government
to deal with possible famine. seem
certain to make large demands on the
market next month.
Your correspondent had a talk with
Mr.. Schamasch. the manager of the
great firm of f. ID. Sassoon & Co., OF
London and Bombay. the largest most
important London house in the East
Indian trade. II was his. purchase Of
several cargoes for Bombay last week
that caused the first decided advance
In prices. He says
India May Have No Famine.
I consider the prospect of the mar
ket excellent for some months TO come.
Notwithstanding the price or wheat
shows a downward tendency. 1t has
now fallen to 81 shillings. and believe
II will drop to 80. from which point IL
will steadily rise in a healthy. stable
manner. The poor potato crop both
here and on the continent must be ta-
ken into consideration as an important
element in predicting the grain out
look. IL Is almost certain on this ac-
count France will become an import
er, and when France begins to import
prices will go up or 3 shillings in
week. Germany and Holland have also
suffered In their potato crop, so they,
too, will become importers, which will
increase the strength OF the market
and maintain prices at good level.
Predicts Higher Wheat.
"As to India, the pinch of want will
not be felt there for some months. any
way, as they have enough stock te
keep them going. 1t cannot yet b'
said with certainty that they will hav'
a famine at all. Rain may come. ant

ST. LOUIS GETS IT.
Populists will Hold Their National
Convention There on
July 22.

St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 2O.-A meeting of
the executive committee of the Peoples
party national committee was unexpect-
eddy called Saturday night to consider
some new propositions presented by the
Business Mems league of st. Louis.
After discussing them for some time the
committee decided to hold the national
convention in ST Louis on July %.
The national committee adjourned
after referring the location of the con-
vention to the executive committee. This
was done as a result of Robert Schil-
ing's active fight for Milwaukee. He
made a most energetic effort, the Globe
Democrat saying that his speech Car

was determined to have the convention,
and when this city, after the adjourn

100000 he was compelled to give up the
fight. as he did not think Milwaukee
could cover that amount.
The feeling of the committee was prac-
tically unanimous in favor of Milwau-
kee. all things being even, but the mem
bers desired to raise a campaign fund
and the big bid practically compelled
them to accent it's offer

POPE MADE NO OFFER.
No Negotiations with This Governs
ment as to Arbitration for
Venezuela.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 17-Cardinal
Satolli has not rendered the services of
Pope Leo as arbitrator in the Venezuelan
controversy, nor has the cardinal re-
ceived up to this time any intimation that
he will be called upon TO offer the serv-
ices of the Pope in that capacity. This
is the answer given at the residence OF
the cardinal in response to inquiries as
that the Pope had taken this step
through the American delegate. There
has been no communication, official or
otherwise, it is stated, between Rome
and the delegation on this subject. 1t is
pointed out that Cardinal SatollIs func-
tons are of Il clerical and not of official
character.
1t was but Il year ago the Pope ten
dered his services as arbitrator, spe-
cial delegate being sent to London for
the purpose. AT that time Lord Rose
berry, then premier, declined to accept ar
bitration. This was accepted as final by
his holiness and in a communication from
Rome to President Crespo regret was
expressed that there was no prospect
the papal mediation would be accepted.
No further steps have been taken SO far
as is known here.
In other official quarters no informa-
zion can be obtained respecting the re-
ported Intervention of the Pope in order
to bring about a peaceful settlement of
the boundary dispute, but it is learned
on excellent authority that matters are
proceeding on lines that, it is believed,
will result in an amicable adjustment,
though as stated in yesterdays Associat
ed press dispatches from Washington,
no intelligence as to the channel or pre-
else mode by which this is to be brought
can yet be secured.
