 CIry OF MExIco. Aug. IS. Exchange on New York rose yesterday, on the fresh drop in silver. to 1Si and in some cases 40 was asked. Bankers were in doubt as to what rate to make, in view of the condition of the silver market. Dealings were nominal. Exchange on London went to 211S pence. the lowest on record. and implying for this govern ment.in in meeting the interest on its ster- ling debt. loss at the rate of S2, 900, 900 per annum. 1t is not to be denied a very anxious sentiment prevails, as the people have come to expect still further decline in the value of sill yer, and many predict it will be forced to a point where the dollar will be worth but 80 cents in gold. Importations will be gener- ally reduced and all branches of business, except exports, will be af- fected. A commercial crisis is hardly expected, as merchants are not, as rule, owing heavily abroad. The gov ernment and the country are confront ing a serious situation which is the worst for many years.

Probably 4,000 of these are for positions in post offices. About $500 were filed by candidates for the customs service and 1,500 for the inter- nal revenue service, while 5000 of the papers belong to the last spring exam nations.

 OOO,OOo or 6o,OoO.O00 Bushels.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. IS. There Is : growing belief that the wheat crop of Kansas for 1897 has been underesti- mated. Late reports indicate larger yields in many localities than were heretofore figured upon, and the total product may run up to 55,o0o, 900 or 6o,- 900, 900 bushels Assistant General Freight Agent c. K. Hudson, of the Santa Fe, says the crop will greatly exceed the official estimated at 49, 0o0,- 900 bushels. He also predicts that there will be nearly full crop of corn, passing his opinion upon personal in- spection of the corn territory and per- sonal knowledge of the extent of the damage by reason of hot winds and dry weather. Mir. Hudson advises farmers to sell their wheat while the price is high, rather than to take the risk of a possible falling market when the present foreign demand shall be supplied.
