Ihe PRECIPITATION for July this year
was something unprecedented, for that
moash has usually been yer, dry one.
The moisture, however, during tha,
north rather retarded the wheat
prospects. as it was ready for the binder
when the rain came. The amount of
moisture for the past two months is
eight inches and has been the means of
putting the ground in most excellent
condition for fall plowing. and no time
will De lost in getting the ground in
readiness for next years crop.

New York Sun: The Eilrerites are
not dismayed by the rise of wheat
coincident with the fall of silver.
True. their farorite dogma. that whes,
and silver rise and fall together. has
been cruelty oiscredited: but they do
not mind that. Governor Altgeld con-
soles himself oy declaring that although
.he sells at 81 per oushel in gold. it
would sell at sl.50 per bu,hsl in silver.
therefore the farmer under gold stand
ard is robbed of 30 cents bushel.
Governor Tillman maintains that the
rise IN wheat is only Temporary. and
that it will GO down along with other
things. until silver il remonetized
Senator Jones thinks that The rise in
wheat and the fail in silver equally
demonstrate the correctness of the
Chicago platform. and Senator White
says that wheat is high, notwithstand-
ing the dissemination in favor of gold.
1t would be higher in the absence of
gold appreciation All this shows
rank ingratitude for an unexpected
blessing and greediness surprising

New YORK Advertiser: The natural
wealth OF the country was never more
IN evidence. nor the readiness Of its
people TO take advantage OF It's resour-
ces. That the needed stimulus of con-
fldence has also come no one can doubt.
Whatever else Wall street may do. it
assuredly measures the hope and faith
OF the community. Such an advance
in values as has been witnessed in the
last fortnight is the money test of
investors aud SPECTATORS belief.
The result is the more remarkable in
this aspect because it has come in spite
OF persistent skepticism in Europe.

deposits in land belonging to the
United States surveyed and unsur-
veyed, are declared free and open to
exploration and purchase and no
onerous royalty is charged on the

make a big hole in mines profits and
the government will have TO reinforce

An interesting circular has recently
been prepared by the United States
department of agriculture on the sub
!ect of United States wheat in eastern
Asia. There has been rapid deyelop-
ment in the wheat producing areas in
other parts OF the world which has
introduced new competition against
American wheat in the European mar
kets. The suggestion is offered ia the
circular that the advance in civilization
n China and Japan will prove OF value
to this country as facilitating exports
to those countries. During the las,
ten years there has been large in
crease in our exports to eastern Asia.
nearly all consisting of wheat -four.
During the decade ended June 30. 1895,
the shipments of wheat -four from the
United States to Japan and China
amounted to 5000, 600 barrels. During
the fiscal year 1887 the export was
400. l47 barrels: for 1897 it was 943.
barrels. and for the nine months ended
March 81. 1897, it was 81. .224 barrels
1t is estimated that the shipment in the
present year will reach GOO. coo bar
reis, equivalent OF $500. 600 bushels OF
wheat.
Most of the American -four sent
across the Pacific goes to Hong Kong
and is thence distributed to other port.
in China. The agricultural depart
ment report shows that the shipments
to Hong Kong increased from 81. .O56
barrels in 1887 to 625,5l2 barrels in
1896. The shipments direct to Chinese
ports other than Hong Kong are COM
paratively email. while our exports to
Japan are comparatively smaller than
those OF Hong Kong and China. thew
are increasing at greater rate, having
advanced from 30,37 barrels in 1887 to
