WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins 3 Company's Review
Of Trade,

OF Trade.
The weeks contribution of statistics
was on the whole more bullish than the
average of late. Bradstreet's report
showed decrease of 5000. 900 bushels
in the worlds visible supply. Our
own visible supply decreased 1850. 900
bushels, and the worlds shipments
were 5000. 900 bushels. These facts,
however. are no longer regarded. The
trade generally has settled down to an
acceptance OF the fact that there is
plenty of wheat to run we'll into the
next crop year. and that at che present
rate O. demand the important consider
alton is not rs to the stocks on hand.
but as to the prospects for the yield
this fall. The consideration relied upon
in this respect of the statistics was that
short crops abroad would cause an unu-
sual drain upon American supplies.
Yet III the last seventeen weeks the
American official visible has decreased
but 81 200. 900 bushels in round num-
bers, while in the same period last year
it decreased IA, 900, 900 bushels, and in
the same period in 1895 it decreased
23, 900, 900 bushels. During the same
period the world shipments this year
were 2,264, 900 bushels, OF which
America furnished 80, 462 900 bushels.
1t appears, therefore, that the theoret-
ical requirements of 1000. 900 bushels
week is very strictly a theory Is dis
tinguished from condition. C4ndsid-
erations of this kind make the average
trader apt to pay little attention to the
statistical position. The war factor
has now quite disappeared from the
market, and it seems that domestic
conditions as to weather, ETC., are like
ly to have most influence in making
prices for the immediate future.
The crop reports that have come in
from abroad of late are indicative of
short harvests in some of the most i'm
portant wheat producing countries;
but, of course, it is too early for any
trustworthy showing in that regard.
There are still many reports OF poor
prospects. The drouth continues to a
degree in California, although some
rain has fallen there

A Cat Taught to Articulate.

The Transcript is responsible for the
following:
One of the most remarkable, not to
say Incredible, stories ever coming to
our knowledge is the following. related
by two workmen employed by the Port
land Water Company, whose business it
is to inspect the callars of subscribers.
They state that while in the cellar of
a certain uptown house they heard
sounds as Of child in distress in the
room immediately above. The calls
were of ''papa" and mamma" and of
such painful shrillnesa that they became
undurable. Surprising tina the mother
had left the baby, the men went up to
the room and found therein cat practic-
ing the words that had at
tractedE their attention. under the di-
rection of the lady of the house. The
astonished workmen were informed by
