WHEAT'S STRONG POSITION.

From the Minneapolis Tribune:
The latest sensation in the
wheat marke;, upon which the
upturn of the last few days was
mainly based, is the estimate of
the Liverpool Corn Trade News
that the European requirements
from America will be 1900, 900
bushels per month up to July I,
next. On this basis a good au.
thority figures out The following
strong position of this cereal:
At the most liberal figures there
was not over 1000, 900 bushels in
the visible and invisible supplies
on July l, 1896. The highest es.
innate does not place the crop of
this year at over $50, 100000 bush.
els. This makes an aggregate of
525, 100000 bushels. It is believed
that the lowest estimate of domes-
tic requirements for both con-
sumption and seed is 100000, 900
bushels per year, or 10000, 900
bushels per month. Taking these
figures as a basis it is easy to make
calculations. By December 1 the
exports from July l will amount
to about $4,000, 900 bushels. This
added to 100000 bushels used
at home for five months makes
230, 900, 900 bushels, leaving $685..
600, 900 bushels of the 1896 sup.
ply still available. Now if the
exports to Europe from December
1 to July l average 100000
bushels monthly-and this leaves
out of account what may be
shipped to other places-the call
upon our resources will be for
Al, 900, 900 bushels per month. At
this rate the entire available sup.
ply would little over six months
and about the eighth day of June
the United States would be left
absolutely destitute of wheat,
either to ship or to eat.
Such figures and estimates are
not always to be. taken without
several grains Of allowance; but in
some respects the above figures
seem to b. Efficiently conservative.
For instance, an allowance of a
45O, 10000 bushel wheat crop in
the United States is exceedingly
liberal. Some statisticians do not
place it above 400, 000,0 900 bushels.
The uncertain quantity in the
problem is the supply Of old wheat
back in first hands, in this and
other exporting countries. This
might prove to be large, and ex.
ceedingly high prices might serve
to bring it out in sufficient guam.
titles to break the markets. But
in any light in which it can be
viewed the situation would ap.
pear to Justify prices quite as high
as those now being paid.

America will unite and form one

Now that the "Home Rule"
provisions for forming city char.
ters has been made possible by the
adoption ola constitutional amend.
ment, fears are expressed that the
city government will be controlled
by a board appointed by the dis.
trict court. The system Of hav.
ing the district court select men
to prepare a city charter is rath err
novel, but it does not prevent the
voters from getting about what
they want for a charter. The
provisions of the Howard charter
are about what a city like Little
Falls should have. There were in
it many provisions applying only
to large cities, but they were
necessarily included in a charter
that was intended to suit all cities.
When Little Falls begins in
earnest to prepare new charter,
it will BE- found that the general
lines of the Howard charter are
not against the interests Of the
city. A new charter is certainly
desirable, as the present one is
faulty in many particulars.
