The Populists are gettin7 together at
st. Louis for their national convention
which is ODE held this week. 1t is pref
ty safe to predict that they will adopt
Bryan, though the rumor that Sewall is
a millionaire is inclining them tt treat
him rather gingerly. Probably the Chi
cago platform will be adopted with some
not very material additions.

"the restoration Of silver to its former
place in orr currency" From 1892 to
1873, silver remained constant in our
coinage laws; tho changes mnde in 1884

CONCENTRATION.
Its Blighting Effects Upon Our
 Industries.

An item appeared in the Florence Tribune several days sinoe, and was reproduced in the PRcsPEc TOR to ihe effect thst valuations had fell off in Cochise couriy from Sl5.0o0, GOO in 1883 to less than S3,OOO. 900 in 1895. This is an error ss we have been iniormeed that in 1883 the legitimate tax levy in this county was less than s4.OOO.OO0. There was however in that yesr an assessed vsluatio1 of mortgage on railroads which run valuation of property in 'hi. county up to com, thing like SIP, 0O0,0 but which was void and upon which no taxes were collected. Iu 1883 the values began 10 decrease all over this country and from which COchise county was net exempt and the declinehas been gradual ever since uoiil 1895, the assessed valuation of taxable property iu Cochise county was in round numbers 2,250, 900. The item referred to was published for the purpose of showing the bli ,bt- ing effect that dem of silver hss had upon .he industries of this county and while the 6igures were of, the statement in the main was correct.

LONDON. Oct. 2s.-tNew York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.l-The London
wheat market was quiet again today.
A remarkable feature Of the situation. one
plainly indicating a belief that higher prices
are coming. is that the farmers in the wheat
growing districts Of England are firmly hold
ing on to their stock. even though the figures
now obtaiuabe are much higher than they
had ever hoped to see again. The continued
absence Of rain in the Puniaub district and
the measures now being organized by the
East Indian government to deal with pos
sible famine seem certain to make large
demands on the market next month.
A World correspondent had talk today
with Mr. Schamasch. the manager OF the
great firm OF E. D. Sassoon & Co. Of Lon
don and Bombay. the largest and most i'm
portant London house in the East India
trade 1t was his purchase OF several car
goes for Bombay last week that caused the
first decided advance In prices. He says: Il
consider the prospect Of the market excel
lent for some months 70 come. notwithstand-
ing the price Of wheat shows a downward
tendency. II has now fallen to 80 shillings.
and ! believe il will drop TO 30 shillings
from which point IL will rise steadily. in a
healthy stable manner.
the continent must be taken into consiiera-
ton as an important element in predicting
the grain outlook. II is almost certain that
on this account France will become an i'm
porter. and when France begins to import
prices will go up or shillings in a week.
Germany and Holland also have suffered
in their potato crop. so they, too, will be-
come importers. which will increase the
strength OF the market and maintain prices
at q good level.
las to India. the pinch Of want viii not
be felt there for some months anyway. as
they have enough stock 10 keep them going
Il cannot yet be said with certainty that
they will have a famine at all. Rain may
come. and II it does. the crop will be saved.
OF course the stocks in India are held by
I spectators. who may. manipulate the mar
ket In which event we will have exciting
times.
The importation Of wheat into India has
reached so far only moderate proportions.
bought three cargoes and another firm
bought one cargo for India. That is all.
AS TO Argentina we estimate that We
shall get 100000 quarters at least from
.Aerc
The reaction in the market IS due to a
state Of nervousness. produced by an incur
sion Of speculation rs soon as prices began
20 improve. This reaction will prove bene-
fetal In shaking OF the weak holders. when
trade will begin TO improve. as already ex-
planned on a stable. healthy basis, and
prices will rise steadily"
