the ascendant. Evidently the hour for
the disintegration of the British empire
has not yet arrived. 1t has been said
by many journals, of late, in this country
that the dominons of England were
growing so heavy and we're SO scattered
that the empire was liable to break from
It's own weight 1t may he possible that
in the future, as these dependencies grow
richer and more populous and feel their
ability TO stand alore, they may drop
off one by one from the mother country,
but their late demonstrations of fidelity
and national patriotism do not indicate
that the time is at hand. They all seem
to he loyal subjects of the queen and
ready to fight for her AT whatever sacri-
flee and without questioning the wisdom
of the home administration
This action has been in striking con-

nercial bodies in this country, where

ASIIlNGTON, Dec. lS.-It is stated
that Secretary Olney will go before the
senate committee on foreign relations
and give the committee great deal of
confidential information relative to
Cuba, which Is III his possession.
The report that has already been pre-
pared is known TO be very satisfactory
to the majority III favor of action, and
It Is not believed there will be any
facts presented by Secretary Olney
Which will materially change the con-
ditions. Already there is a protest
against any action by persons who fear
that values will be disturbed and busi-
ness injured by any declaration of the
kind proposed. Different senator's have
urged members Of the foreign relations
committee not to be hasty in the mat
ter of acting on the Cuban resolutions,
and suggested delay, but 50 far it has
not influenced the majority members
of the committee. The reply has been

This table is calculated to remove the
price OF wheat from the category of abuses
which the free silver coinage school inn
putes to the existence Of gold monometal-
lism. Or II it does not wholly eliminate
the fall of wheat from the bill of complaint,
II at least must serve to admonish all sens.
ible men to adopt more moderate and rea.
sonable views of the economic status of
the farming population than those which
are current among opponents of the ex-
isting currency policy. OF course, there
has been fall OF prices in wheat, as in
most other things, and it has not yet been
satisfactorily proved that this fall is not
due. in some degree, to the abandonment
on the part of tho civilized world of the
system of bmetallic coinage; but the
table proves this much, at least, that the
farmers of Minnesota have not suffered to
any sppreciable degree by the diminishing
prices Of wheat since the fall of prices Of
many other things-things needful for the
well-being of the farmer-has been coinci-
dentAlly-Inuch Greater. His loss, through
the fall of wheat, 10 assumed to be much
seyerer than this table implies, because the
price OF wheat in London or New York il
generally taken as tho basis of comparison.
The fall of the price of wheat in the east
ern and European markets is due chiefly;
~ Mr.. Atkinson has repeatedly pointed
out, to the reduction Of freight charges.
The price OF wheat in New York isa far
different matter than the price of wheat at
the farm. The latter price constitutes the
farmers income, and his price only should
DO employed in judging the changes which
have taken place In his income from
wheat.

MARKETS OF THE WORLD
LOCAL, STATE, EASTERN AND FOREIGN
REPORTS IN OUTLINE
RgKs Steady, Butter Weak, Dry Hides
Lowes-The. Abundant Lemon Crop Of
Sicily Causes . Cheap Market In New
York

SATURDAY, April 4.
The California Fruit Grower say 9: A
statement made by q prominent New York
house on March II. showed 41S,OOO
and on steamers at the various ports in
this country awaiting sale, as against 217,..
900 last year at this time. Advances OF
4s to 5s per box are being made, to which
add freight, duty and selling charges. the
lemons will cost $l.75 to W per box, and
can be sold for only about $1.25 to $3.50
per box. Heavy losses are being sustained
by both owners and receivers. The Sicily
crop 10 enormous and lemons are very
cheap in that country; hence the outlook
for q better market is not very good.
Everything in the way of grease is super
abundant in all the markets of the coun-
try. The reasons for this are the internal
revenue tax recently put on oleomargerine
and the laws in many states restricting the
use of this product. In many instances
these laws are practically prOhibitive.
They are made, of course, in the interest
OF the dairyman, and so is the tax. But
this cuts both ways. For instance, if there
were no such restrictions on the use OF
oleo, and no tax on II, an animal suitable
for the butcher would bring more; in the
more. and in the case of
fat steer, $l.5O. No strictly honest per-
son. of course, will complain of law
which compels manufacturers ana mer-
chants to state explicitly the nature of their
goods.
Butter is q shade weaker. ERgs are
steady. Dry hides lower. to IL cents.
General business is quite improved since
tho commencement of the month. 1t may
not be permanent.
The American Banker has the following
carefully compiled table and logical de.
ductions therefrom, which completely
answers some of the vagaries of the ex-
treme monometalIsts among the 'free
silver" cranks:
We take the following instructive COM
pArative statement of the average gold
price of wheat on the farms of Minnesota
from compilation made by L. G. Powers,
the able chief of the bureau of statistics of
labor Of that state. The figures give values
in cents, and they show the difference be-
tween the price of wheat on the farms and
the price in the markets of London and
New York from 1862 to 1894:
