DUN Il CO.'S REVIEW.

New York. Oct. OR. G. Dun Il Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
The event of the week has been the
sensational advance of wheat to S,}c for
cash on Tuesday, and its fall to a lie
on Thursday, gaining l 1-Sc on Friday.
The rise was magnitied by covering of
speculative sellers, who ina gined the
advance had gone too far, but strength
was Mt the bottom based on an extra
ordinary foreign demand, which has en-
gagged grain vessels from all Pacific, ms
well as Atlantic ports, for months ahead.
How great the shortage in ordinary Eu-
ropcan supplies may be is the point of
doubt and speculation, but none now
question that shipments from the Pa
citic coast TO India and the decrease i'll
Russia's yield are important and the
buying of enormous quantities Tor en-
port with engagements of freight room
ut higher rates express the belief of Eu-
repean dealers. Wheat exports from the
Pacific coast are large and over loO,OOO

PAUNCEFOTE's PROPOSALS.

washington. Oct. 23.-It can be stated
authoritatively that the proposals Sir
Julian Pauncefote is authorized by the
British foreign office to present to the
state department embrace both the Ven
ezuelan boundary question and the ques.
ton of a general treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, whereby
all future disputes will be submitted to
arbitration. The nature of the proposals
is such that it is believed that the dis.
pute over Venezuela is much nearer the
final solution than at any time since the
trouble began.

TO defer business until after the election.
Traders are more hopeful as to the cut

al result of desire to realize profits, an

ASuBY AT RLA\CO.

Blanco. Tex. Oct. 20.-(Special.) The
peoples party had Il treat last night by
Stump Ashby. He spoke two hours to
an attentive audience. and during the
whole time said nothing but what was
highly appreciated by the majority of
his hearers, most of them being populsts.
He had the hand of Ashby. but the voice
of Col. Rhodes-same song. but differ
ent tune. He has knowledge of logic
and is not talking in imagination. for
his speech convinced some of his audi
ence that DemostheneS was consistent
populist and the Jews who crucified
Christ were national bankers. but it is
suspected the impression that Lombard
and Wall streets were then located CT
extended across the Atlantic is among
some of his closest friends. He is not
an advocate of Cleveland Carlisleism,
but does not denouncc our executive Off
GERS with rs much abuse as Col. Rhodes
does.
Taylor McRea would have made a
speech had his throat been smooth and
voice clear. but. believing Tom Watson
an ideal. of course he is excused or
same grounds as Tom.
Col. II. J. Sledge was also here, in the
hands of his friends. All that is re-
Quired of him by his party is to ac
knowledge his political principles. II,
, is not heard to make many speeches. :in(
| it is inferred that he might make tn,
mistake the parrot did-talk too mucl
for his best interests-if permitted t,

posed to represent Mckemson. He was
introduced and ut once proceeded to vim

parliamentary manner with which he
handled his side of the question in the

THE GLOBE ALMANAC.
An Up-to-Date Hand Book for the
Year 1896.


Those who think of an almanac as a
f1imsy pamphlet given away by drug
stores in the interests of some patent
medicine, will be surprised and delight
ed when they inspect a copy of the new
Atlas-Almanac and Cyclopedia, which
this paper has provided for the con-
Venlence and information of it's readers
and their friends.
To start with, the book is the largest
ever produced in this country under the
auspices OF a newspaper; it contains
432 pages, and these are double the
size of any other Almanac issued But
its distinctive feature. which places it
above and beyond all others, is found
in the fact that it contains As maps
printed in four colors and comprising
every state and territory, besides
Canada and Central America. These
maps are new and have been en-
graved especially for the Atlas Almanac
by the well-known atlas maker. George
+. Cram. They show all countries and
railroads, and are invaluable for refer
ence, practically taking the place of an
atlas costing from $40 to $40. The sta
tistical portion of the work treats of
the National Government, State Gov
ernments. Politics, Election returns.
Agriculture, Manufactures, Mining,
Finance, Education, Religion, Law,
Sports, society, the home, besides a
large amount of information regarding
domestic and foreign affairs. Every
page of the book bears the work of ex-
pense and it has cost more to produce
it than any Year Book ever published
in America, yet 1T will nevertheless be
supplied to readers and their friends at
the nominal price OF % cents per copy.
The maps alone are worth many times
this amount, and the entire work will
be found invaluable to every reader
who wants to be up with the times in
matters of general Information. Price
25 cents, POSTPAID Tn any address
