CHICAGO, July 31.-Wheat ruled quite act
i've during the early hours, but very little in
terest was displayed later, the range for the
day being 7aQNc. The feeling manifested
at the start was quite strong, and the market
after opening where it left off yesterday,
advanced 13@ssc. eased off %@Ac, changed
some and closed with 3sQ1ac advance. The
market received its initial strength from the
weather map which showed a renewal of
the rains in the winter wheat belt, especially
in Nebraska The rather steady tone of
cables also impaired some strength to the
market, early advices quoting but I'D de-
cline. The out-inspeetion here was quite
liberal and st. Louis being strong and higher
also aided in the advance. st. Louis was an
active buyer early, but sold December later.
Northwest receipts were moderate. The mar
ket was further helped by the weather fore
cast, which predicted showers for Northern
Illinois tonight and Saturday cooler.
Closing Liverpool cables quote spot steady
and unchanged and futures steady to I'd
lower. Duluth stocks are expected to de-
crease this week 1926, 900 Blu and MINNEAPOLIS
decrease 100000 blu. Corn opened weak on
the large receipts. The reduction in rates bv
some of the Western roads to meet the rate
of competitors was also a factor as were the
rains West and favorable crop prospects.

Oats were fairly active and unsettled. The

local parties. Outside figures were not main

to take the increased offerings, and prices
reacted A@5sc in sympathy with wheat. and
closed steady at 1sG74e over yesterday. Re-
ports OF rains in the West and predictions of

and stimulated the early buying.

The prospects for large crops of cotton
and corn are stlll excellent. The two
important labor contests have been
settled between iron mills and puddlers

last year, and II part Is old wheat SO
much the greater must have been the
surplus from previous crops. In any
event the free movements show that
the scarcity is due to the Western
farmer and holders. The market in
spite Of reports indicating smaller
foreign supply reacted after a rise Of
a little over 1 cent, closing 1A&1c higher
for the week. Lower rail rates helped
corn to make a new record at 30.12
cents, and prospects are generally
favorable. Cotton advanced by quar-

yield.

WHY PRICES Of Cotton ELL.

Frederick G. Pcnivld, United States
consul at Cairo, has sent to the depart
mont of state report ON the estimated
cotton crop of Egypt for 1867, He
says that the Egyptian planters have IN
creased the area under cultivation about
per cent over that Of last year, and
that the prospects Of large crop are
considered good. Conservative estimates
place the seasons total crop at 100. 00O
bales vt $50 pounds each, equal to
1850, 600 American bales or 5G2, 800,
600 pounds.
With this greatly Increased compcti-
ton of Egyptian cotton, it is only natu-
raj that i'll years III which the American
crop is up to the avCarge prices should
be lower than they were before the re-
cent extension of cotton planting in
Egypt Yet the silveritcs persist i'll tell
ing the people Of the south that it is the
lack of so cent dollars which has reduced
the price Of cotton i'll this country and
promise that under FREQ coinage at Is
to the value of the American cotton
crop will be doubled. That this is a de-
fusion ought to be evident to any senSi-
bic planter, who knows that the world 5
supply Of cotton i'll Il normal year is far
greater than the demand. Measuring
prices i'll cheap silver money would not
decrease the competition of Egypt and
the other cotton growing countries;
neither would it increase the demand
for cotton either here or abroad.

HOW GOLD is IN CIRCULATION.
1t Is the Basis of the Medium of Practi-
cally Our Entire Volume of Business.

/ 49, sc shO 1'a-is VI bne ueuluh OF ITSCtt-
cally Our Entire Volume of Business.
The ghost of the dead teacher in
Coins Financial School" rises for a
few moments to groan out some free sill
yer dreams which are vexing its unouiet
grave. The principal trouble with
Coin" Is the sound money argument,
based on undeniable facts, that if silver
coins worth 80 cents are made legal ten
der equal in debt paying power to gold
dollars all our $625, 900, 900 of gold
will be driven out of circulation. To
this the ghost replies: There is no gold
now in circulation. The bankers have
cornered it. y
As Some unthinking persons may be
dcluded into believing that because our
gold coins are not extensively used in
everyday business transactions they
are, therefore, not in circulation, it is
necessary to show Just how the sold
serves as the basis Of our currency. As
is generally known, moro than 80 per
cent of all the business done in this
country Is transacted without the use
of either sold or silver money, through
the medium Of bank checks, drafts or
bills of exchange. The great volume Of
representative money, as it is usually
called, rests OH the gold reserves held
by the various banks. Without the gold
the Same banking facilities could not be
afforded, and the business of the coun-
try could not be SO we'll done. The gold
i'll the banks is Ill circulation when
checks payable i'll gold are constantly
being passed from one business man to
another and used i'll payment for goods,
settlement OF debts, etc. The only diff
ference is that by the use Of drafts and
checks the trouble and expense of trans.
porting gold and the loss of abrasion
which would follow the continual
counting and handling Of the coin arc
all saved. Every dollar in gold which
is used by the banks III carrying on the
great financial operations of our industry
and commerce is just as surely i'll cir
culation as the gold III the treasury
vaults which is represented by gold GER
tificates
The claim that the bankers have cor
nered all the gold is another delusion
The gold in the banks represents the
savings of millions of dcpositors, who
very sensibly prefer to have their money
i'll place where it will be safe and at
the same time draw interest. If the
bankers are foolish enough to pay in
tercst on gold loaned to them and at the
same time refuse to lend it out they are
certainly very unseltish citizens. But
that is not the way they do business.
No banker pays 4 per cent on the gold
deposited with him merely for the fun
Of having it idle i'll hisvaults. He is al
ways anxious to loan it again, and rs
all the banks are competing i'll the loan
markets a corner i'll gold is impossible.
\ monopoly i'll which at least 5000
600 dcpositors i'll national, state or say
ings banks have u share is not one to
be feared

AGAINST THE PLATFORM.

Whatever course The milwaukee,
Journal may take in regard to giving
support to the Democratic presidential
ticket, IL must surely be set down rs
fornist the platform. II evidently has
no more love for domestic protection
than for the kind Of protection which
it has always been lighting, The
Journal rightly and truly says;
"All talk of true bimetallsm with
free silver can be set down MS bun
comb; 1t is impossible. Gold will dis
appear unless the ratio is changed
Tho only people sure to profit are the
silver miners and owners of bullion
The ones sure to suffer are the credit
ors; these are the wage earners, pen
sioners, those living on fixed income
those who are to receive insurance
and In fact almost everybody. The
capitalist, tho banker and the stock
broker will soon take care of them
selves for their gains are measured by
per cent on their transaction, and so
they will get their usual share of what
passes through their hands lust ms
before. or course they will suffer as
do all others by the general causes,
but they are In n better situation to
recoup. At the end, their loss will be
in the decrease of business il ut all
And this Is the condition we have to
face If free silver wins"
The Democrat would respectfully
ask: DO we wish to face such Il con.
dition rs the journal depicts The
issue Is up for settlement 1t will not
down until settled and settled right
The attempt to revive old issues and
keep their skeletons before party fol.
lowers will prove of no avail. 4 sound
and stable currency is essential for tht
preservation Of our national integrity
The fight for such II currency is on
and must be kept up until the FIRE,
coinage hosts are put to rout
