Taken with the table Of our wheat ex.
port values before given It will be seen that
the highest price was In 1882. India
was not then seriohs competitor. and
that period covers an abnormal demand
following the crop failures In Western Eu-
rope and the Turco- Russian war;. In the
next period there was b return Of normal
conditions, and with Inlia's appearance as
an import factor there is drop Of 18 cents
per bushel. The next period marks the
first important appearance Of Argentine and
the drop Of 8 cents would have been great
er but for the Russian crop failure of 1891.
The drop Of 20.5 cents in the last period,
the fail which has SO burdened our wheat
growers and which yet rests upon them,
needs no explanation. The table speaks
for itself. Argentine, from country al
most known to wheat merchants, sprang
ut one bound into the front rank, and her
shipments for those years average 450OO.-

Trusting that I have made 1t clear to
you that the price Of wheat, like the price
of silver and other commodity, depends
upon supply and demand, and that the
showing that has carried the price of wheat
up while at the same time lack Of demand
was carrying silver down, Is satisfactory,

HOW BARON HtRSCH DIED.
Alone and Helpless. the Man of Millions
Met His End.


Met His End.
Baron Hirsch died Of syncope at 3
o'clock in the morning, at which hour
his means attracted the attention OF the
occupants of the adjoining rooms On
entering his bedroom they found that he
had already passed away.
He was staying at 0 Gyalla, near
Comorn, in Hungary, as the guest OF
Herr Ehrenfeld, a landed proprietor,
whose hospitality he had accepted, as
the shooting box which he had project
ed ON an estate he had purchased In
that neighborhood was still unfinished.
1t was only Last year, after the sale OF
St. Johann, his largest estate in Aus
tria- Hungary, to Prince Hohenlohe,
that he bought the estate of o Gyalla,
which abutted on Herr Ehrenfeld's
property. While his new shooting box
was under construction he was frequent
ly the guest of the Hungarian primate,
Cardinal Vaszary, and Of other neigh
bors, like the Ehrenfelds
There was large company in the
house that night, and the baron was
very gay. Contrary to his usually very
frugal habits, he drank good deal of
champagne, responding to all the toasts
that were proposed. 1t was probably
this which brought on the apopletic at
tack that SO suddenly ended in his
death. He went to bed at o'clock, and
when his meanings were heard it was
too late to render him any etfectual as
sistance Thus the millionaire bene-
factor of the entire Jewish nationality
died in a strangers house, alone and
helpless, at a moment when for the flrst
time in his life he was in need of help.
His health had not been good for
some years past, although he knew how
to keep up his martial appearance,
which resembled that of a cavalry Off
Ger rather than of Jewish banker. But
his appearance was deceptive He visit
ed Carlsbad nearly every year, and
when he was there last he astonlshed
his acquaintance by abiding to his ap-
preaching end.
Again, only few months ago, during
the sitting of the board of trustees for
his Galician foundation, he reverted to
the subject IF death, mentioning that lie
had been studying the Austrian laws of
legacy and inheritance, and he COM
planned of the legacy duties being very
high-10 per cent. On some one remark
ing that that must be a matter of corr
parative indifference to him, since Re
had no direct heirs, the baron rather in
dignantly replied: "How do you know
that? My heirs are suffering humanity,
and am thinking how to make all my
foundations and charitable institutions
independent for the future by depositlng
the capital sum for each of them.
In the course of the same conversation
he mentioned that he would like to die
suddenly without illness, and in this his
wishes appear to have been almost lit
orally fulfilled. London Letter.
