WHY WHEAT ADVANCED.
Rise Attributed TO Increased Value
of Argentine's Money.

Julian Ralph. I'm New York Journai)
LONDON, October s-The cabled news
that the rise in the price of wheat, taking
place without rise in the price Of silver
will count heavily for Mckinley in the
home elections. has induced Sir Robert
Edgecomb, the banker, Liberal, and bi-
metallist TO send 10 the New York jour
nal the following extract from book he
is about to publish. through Macmillan,
under the title Of Popular Fallacies he-
garding Bimetallism":
THE recent advance in the price OF
wheat Is due to the rise I'm the gold value
of the paper dollar in Buenos Ayres.
Wheat. unlike most other commodities, has
been subject TO q double fall in price In
recent years, one fall caused by the al
tered value OF silver. as measured in
gold, the other fall in value proceeding
from the still greater depreciation of the
Argentine paper dollar as measured III
gold.
SENT THE DOLLAR DOWN.
''From 1885 TO 1890 wheat sold for about
81 a bushel, and had reached the limit OF
its fall. so far as silver could affect It.
Then came the Caring collapse. which
disorganized finances in the Argentine Re-
public and sent their paper dollar down
to o cents gold. If the Argentine paper
dollar has only fallen TO % cents. gold, IL
would have Dcen upon "a par Win 'Hc
Indian rupee, as measured in gold, and
wheat would not have been affected.
But the fall to 20 cents, gold, further
deprecated the price OF wheat, which fell
TO g. cents the bushel- This enabled the
Argentine Republic TO cut into the Indian
wheat trade at lower prices.
CUT INTO INDIA'S EXPORTS.
In 1892 India exported 55.O0o.0O0 bushels
of wheat, and the Argentine Republic ex-
ported 100000 bushels In 1894. Owing to
the deprecated Argentine paper dollar,
the two countries had reversed their posi-
ton. India exporting only 100000. while
the Argentine Republic exported $780,
900
The gradual fall in the premium on
gold at Buenos Ayres must raise the value
OF wheat. ard this rise will continue until
the premium on the paper dollar falls 10
100. when 1t will stop. After that point Is
reached the value Of wheat can rise no
further. until there Is a rise In the gold
value OF silver.
.sWheat and wool are the only COM
modities of Importance affected by the
second fall i'm values. arising from the
depreciation OF the Argentine paper dol

CLEVELAND BUYS a NEW HONE.

doned by the President.

tNcW 10TH JObi NAIL
President Cleveland Is not going abroad
with his family at the expiration OF his
term on the lth day OF next March.
after all
1t was the intention of the President
to make a tour Of the world. but for many
reasons be has abandoned his original
idea and will spend next summer in amt
about New York.
He has purchased about sixty acres OF
land at Hampstead, l.. l., and. I'm the
early spring a modest little cottage Will
he built there. The land Immediately
adjoins that Of his close personal friend.
ex-secretary William e. Whitney. and is
within half a mile OF the summer house
owned by r.. ID. Morgan, ex-commodore
OF the New York Yacht Club.
Domestic reasons will make IL neces-
sary for Mrs. Cleveland to spend the
greater part OF next summer In a quiet
manner, and therefore the President de-
cided to build snug little nest for his
wife and family among the exclusives OF
Hampstead society.
Later i'm the season the President will
put in some time amid the quiet OF the
Berkshire Hills. BY that time the plans
outlined by w. &. Whitney for the finest
summer home IN America will have been
carried out. The 1900 acres Of land
which he purchased and presented to his
son, Henry Payne Whitney, and the lat
ter's bride. Gertrude Vanderbilt. on their
wedding day will have been thoroughly
improved October Mountain will have
been transformed into modern Utopia.
The immense clubhouse, with all its at
fractions will have been finished, the
driveways improved, and the three i'm
mense lakes will have been well stocked
for fishing Then. there will be the tents
for those who prefer outdoor life, the golf
links. plenty OF opportunity for cross
country riding and hunting, and no end
OF that sort OF amusement that pleases
Mr.. Cleveland most.
1t Is said that when Mr.. Whitney made
the purchase Of his property IN the Berk-
shire Hills a thousand acres OF Il was
bought for the President. and that later
on It is his intention TO have erected
there a magnificent summer home for his
family Already il is known that for al
least part of next summer this fastness
Of October Mountain will be the home OF
PRECEDENT and Mrs. Cleveland and their
children Mr.. and Mrs. w c. Whitney,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Payne Whitney.

most intimate friend. and the President

A cold wave struck the Republican

insist that the reports of discouraging
