CHICAGO MARKrra


Chicago, May ii--Fair speculative actfv-
tsy vas reported In wheat during the early
hours. after which there was more doing.
the market nactaAtiag within TIC range.
The initial trading was at is2Sc advance.
bat the market gradually declined lie. raj
HE'D aISc. changed some and closed
steady at sisc for July The early FIRM
Ness was due largely to the high tcmpera-
lures IN the wheat belt and bug stories and
some outside buying. Showers were again
reported IN the Northwest. and receipts In
that section were LOO cars smaller than q
week aso. On the other hand. the state re-
port OF Kentucky noted an Improvement in
condition Of points and tho niinois re-
Port was also very favorable Black seA
nhlpments were reported heavy. and there
vas an increase on ocean passage OF ssa.-
90 bushels. both OF which cost tho price
something. as did the weather Indications.
In addition. the worlds shipments were
very heavy. amounting from AL countries
20 s.s7s.0oo bushels Local showers were
predicted for almost the entire wheat belt
tonight and tomorrow. and the government
report this afternoon was expected by tho
oearx to favor them rs usual.
Fluctuations in corn covered &oIc
range. The action OF wheat. together with
the light receipts. was responsible for the
strength Af,erw&rd buying ceased. and
prices sagged back.
Oats were fairly active and stronger
early. but weaker and lower later.
Receipts OF hogs were 20 600. and a. Q re-
suit the provision market was WEAK and
remained In that condition for long time.
A recovery took place In the afternoon, but
did not benent pork very much.

New York. May 1.-THE Evening Posts
financial cablegrem from London says:
The stock markets were quiet and steady
on the whole, the only feature being the
fairness in Americans on the Cuban ques-
ton. The close was fiat and at about the
lowest Consols we're also easier. KAT
frs were fiat. Speculation just now runs
largely in shares OF cycle companies. The
settlement wiz begin tomorrow. The Paris
bourse opened dull. on the selling OF Span

PLANTATION Is altogether too superficial,
and until the Voiume Of the currency IS
Increased by the res toratiUn OF silver 10
lis coinage rights, the commerclhi &c
preston which mas prevailed IN this coui!-
Try FOR the past few years Is apt 10 CON
therefore that our present h1rdsnips are
due. Instead of bcncntiug the trmcr hN
giving employment 20 idle labor, the lhill-
ueluhia Press would keep the tahor4nS
men of this country In idieness ny pre-
scrV ne the Ubiquitous policy when is now
In operation.
But While the single gold standard Is
largely respons bic for the suffering winch
prevails TODAY in the ranks oi iioor III
has injured the farmer in a two-told meas
urc. IN the first pace, II naa reduced Inc
Value of his products, and n the second
dclphia Press, il mas almost entirg.y taken
away from him the trade Of 2,0'd,vo GUS
toners.
So. instead Of making an argument for
the single gold standard by showing u'at
the present condition Of the farmer IL Que
Press has really made a strong and con-
vine ng argument IN favor Of o!me.allism.
If the farmer has suffered gricNQusiy Tor
tho reason contained in the figures tur-
ulshed by the Press. 1t Is also true thlt
both the farmer and the lahorng nan
have alike suffered from the harmful ef-
fects of the single gold stamford.
What the farmers of tins country neeu,
and what the laboring men Of the coun-
try need Is a standard Of finance which
places si.ver on the same equal footing
with gold As soon as that Is done, the
labor will find employment at better
W. ges. and thu farmer will get such a
price for his products as viii eNAhle him
10 live in conteutment and happiness.

WHY LABOR IS UNEMPLOYED.

NiAulA constitution,
In a recent editorial tho Phnaaclrh'r
Press ono OF the best Informed organs o.
the money power, ascribes the present con-
di,on of ;he farmer to the int that sew
crll thousand wage carncrs who would
ordinarily buy lursc,y of his products are
now without employment.
TO strcnrthcn the proposition the Press
undertakes az some length TO enumcrate
the unemployed lahor.ng men of the
United States. as Il ignorant of the fact
that such a calculation was in itself one
Of The very strongest arguments in favor
OF himetan lsm.
The Press estimates that the number of
iaber.ns men dismissed from the various
Industrial aud manufacturing establish
ments Of the country on accoun, OF hard
times IS no less than 2,O1300o.
5 nee these figures are furnished by one
OF the organs or tho money power the
charge 81 eNa.gerot!on can hardly be pre-
ferred by the advocates of the single
god stan lard. To proceed with the arsu-
ment. II must bo conceded tnat TIE failure
of 2.J53 men to buy OF the farmer, in
The usual quantity. is calculated to in
jurc HIM n a very Ercat measure. but just
N this connection the question arises, how
does 1t happen that such u vast army of
men, as the ono represented by these FIG
uros. 5 idle and unemployed.
Loyal TO the republican theory Of proiec-
uon, tho Press attributes the present con-
dlton of things N this country 10 the VII
son tarlff bill. Obviously, however, TO one
who mas studied the mrriis of the ques-
ton, this expiration Is altogether insult
i.c4Cnt The difference between the tarifI
nm or the Wilson h!l, watch averages
about 10 per cent. and that under the Mo
Kinney bill, which averages about s. per
cent, Is entirely too small TO account Tor
such conditions as those which prevail ut
| this time.
40 strike the root of these evils, Il IL
necessary TO touch upon the money ques-
lions. The reason why SO many mills are
IDLE and 81 many thousand laboring men
