A TALK WITH SHERMAN.
He Will Not Take Any Predictions as
to MCKiniey'S Foreign Policy.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator John
Sherman of Ohio, who is stopping at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel, had number
of callers to-day. He ate breakfast with
John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treas
ury.
In answer to a question by reporter
of the United Associated Presses as to
the probability of the next Administra-
ton negotiating new treaty of annex
alton with Hawaii, the Senator said: Il
think Mr. Mckinley will make a wise,
patriotic President, but as to his for
eign policy / cannot undertake to make
any predictions. l have not seen him
for several months. We must leave it
to the Administration to plan it's own
foreign policy"
Mr.. Sherman refused to express any
opinion on the matter.
Asked if there was any significance in
the report of General Miles recommend
ing an increase of the army, the Senator
said that he had not seen the report,
but he added, 'it will require very
weighty arguments to convince Con-
gress that there is any need to increase
the army. 1t is the settled policy of this
nation to maintain but small stand
ing army"
In speaking of the reports from
with Spain, Senator Sherman said: Il
do not look for any arouble with Spain.
Mr. Cleveland seems to be following the
right policy, that of maintaining neu-
trality with all the friendly Powers

ADULTERATI0N IN BREWING.
Secretary MOrtOu CorreCts a State
ment Relating to Chemicals.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-In the crop
report for October the United States
Department of Agriculture attributed
the languishing condition of the hop
industry TO the use of chemicals as sub
stitutes for hops in brewing. The United
States Brewers Association, in a letter
TO Secretary Morton, protested against
this assertion, denouncing it as abso-
lutely false, and offered to assist in
the prosecution of any person guilty of
adulteration In reply the association
received the following from Secretary
Morton:
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, October 9th-Sir:
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt OF your communication made in
the name OF the Board of Trustees and
Advisory Committee of the United
States Brewers Association. The state
ment in the October crop report. to
which you refer, was submitted to the
statistician, and he informs me that
while the analysis of the department
chemist shows that the use of other
bitters than hops has not been un-
known in the past history of the brew
ing in the United States, still the state
ment is undoubtedly erroneous, as the
use of the substitute appears to be rare
rather than otherwise.
THE paragraph in question relating
to minor crop was prepared by sub
ordinate in the statistician's office 1t
IS the custom to have all such matters
brought particularly to the statisticians s
attention. but through inadvertence this
was passed for publication without his
scrutiny. Yours respectfully,

ANOTHER BOOM IN WHEAT.

FOR THE SEASON.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-News of
ceived from England to-day, and it
quickly counteracted all the weakness
which crept into the wheat situation
yesterday.
The news from England was that
there was a probability of Russian ship
ments of wheat to India, and that sellers
of white wheat were scarce.
California cargoes, prompt shipment,
advanced to BIS. In Liverpool Decem-
Der option opened firmer at 6s 11%d.,
which was yesterdays closing quota
tion, and afterward advanced to Is. I'D
Later dispatches from England quoted
the market stronger, and stated that
wheat had recovered Sd. since the pre-
viouS report.
The strong and higher closing of the
English market Immediately strength
ened prices in Chicago and San Fran
cisco, which had opened with a weaker
tone, and in the case of San Francisco
drove them above the highest points
previously touched in the revival.
In Chicago, December, which closed
yesterday at 20 cents, opened with a
drop to 1875 cents and recovered to 1875
cents. Then came another setback to
1872 cents But the English news came
SO strong that December next ran up
to S0:4 cents, and closed still higher on
the second curb at S1H cents bid
At the local call board the opening
sales at 9: 10 were at a sharp decline, fol-
lowed by rapid advance. May opened
at 81 5o1s, and then ran up to 81 5G;H,
closing at 81 561a At 1915 there was
general boom. May opened at 81 5733s,
sold back to 81 513s and then rose under
heavy purchases to 81 $685., which had
been the top figure a few days ago.
December opened at 81 533s and closed
continued, and the heavy purchases
went on, the leading brokers being
crowded with orders. May opened at
81 39is, rose to 81 591a and closed on the
call at 81 59A. December opened at
81 544, rose to 81 54as and closed on
the call at 81 5414.
On the street at noon 81 60 was bid
for May wheat-the highest price
reached in the present upward move
ment.
The strong tone of English advices to-
day naturally made the sample market
very firm. Spot wheat may now be
quoted at 81 53aI @1 50 per GENITAL. Heavy
purchases for future shipment to Aus
tralia and India are reported.
TOP NOTCH AT NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Up to mid
day speculation in wheat was narrow
and prices lower. December breaking to
SG12 cents. The afternoon market, how
ever, developed jump of almost 3 cents

terest created in the early break was
driven in by the up turn. In addition
there was firmness in closing cables,
reports of another cargo of California
wheat for the Cape and liberal buying
here. December rose to S9Ic, the of
ficial top notch for the year, and closed
at S91sc, or 211sc over last night Sales
for the futures aggregate 100000

SPAIN NOT READY FOR WAR.
MADRID, Nov. 12.-With regard to
the dispatches from Washington on the
subject of the possibility of trouble
between the United States and Spain.
1t is officially denied that the Spanish
Premier, Senior Canovas del Castillo.

the story is probably a revival of the

In bringing amicable pressure to bear
on the United States.
On the occasion indicated. and by the

memorandum. 1t was the view of Min
lister Taylor that a dispatch of sueh
note, directly after President Cleve-
lands proclamation calling for the OBJ
servance of the neutrality laws. wouId
be calculated seriously to affect the re-
lations between Spain and the United
States, and in Difference to that ex-
preston the Spanish Minister of For
eign Affairs assured Minister Taylor
that the memorandum would be with
held. also stating that no offense was
Intended to President Cleveland or the
Government of the United States. and
that Spain only desired to sound the
Powers with view to contingencies
which might arise out of the Presiden-
tial election.
It is now added that the possibility of
war between the United States and
Spain is regarded as most remote. It is
also pointed out that Spain remained
perfectly neutral during the Presiden-
tial election.
