WHEAT The WEEKS FEATURE

Foreign Demand.

New York, Oct. 24.-R. G, Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review of trade today
says:
The event of the week has been the
sensational advance of wheat TO SO
cents for cash on Tuesday, a rise OF 5a
cents, and it's fall to II cents on Thurs
day, gaining 1% cents on Friday. The
rise was at the bottom based on an ex-
~traordinary foreign demand, which has
engaged grain vessels from all Pacific
as wen as Atlantic ports for months
ahead. How great the shortage in or
binary European supplies may be the
point of DOUBT and speculation. but
none now question that shipments from
the coast to India and the decrease in
the Russian yield are important, and
the buying of enormous quantities for
export, with engagements Of freight
room at highest rates, express the be-
lief of European dealers.
Wheat exports from the Pacific coast
are large, and over 500, 900 bushels per
day have been engaged ahead. Allan
&c exports, about 800, 900 bushels larger
than last year for the week. have been

The most striking feature of indus

already are enough to make business
rather lively for "A time, and many 9TH

equally emphatic in their declarations
that, whether this be SO or not. his

One Way Of Looking at the Rise in
Wheat,

New York, Oct. 22.-Evidence ac-
cumulates here that the popocrats are

OF wheat and consequent havoc to Bry-

The Eevening Journal, silver organ
devoted over a page to trying to prove
the farmers have all sold their wheat,
and so will get no benefit from the rise
In prices. The advance. it is alleged, Is
due to the operations of a gigantic SYM
dicate of Chicago and northwestern
m~illionaires, who are trying to corne
wheat as part of a political scheme to
influence the approaching election"

Manchester, n. H., is likely to pay a
big price for the reckless folly shown in
cutting down all the forests along the
Merrimac. The consequence is that the
river runs almost dry in summer and
winter, while every spring and fall is
marked by a destructive food. Unless
this condition of affairs is o changed
the great Amoskcag mills will have to
substitute steam for water power, and
]. jefferson Coolidge, the treasurer of
the company, is doubtful if it could
then compete with factories in tide
water cities, like Fail River and New
Bedford, where the cost Of coal is not
increased by railroad transportation.
