Chicago. Aug. IA glance at the

London, Aug. 21.-The fact that tht
price of wheat has reached 81 a bushe
in the United States has produced con
siderable excitement among grain specu
lators and others in trade. The secre
tary Of the Baltic said:
"Of course we have been caught
largely short. The rize in the price o.
wheat, with the uncertainties OF the fut
ure, make a somewhat hysterical mark
ct The rise OF sixpence in the price o.
barley, for example, today was due Il
no assignable cause. There is no specu-
lation here, as it is known on Wal
street. here is oTme speculation III
Liverpool
The secretary of the Corn Exchange
remarked:
There is no speculation here. as such
transactions are generally known There
has been a disposition on the part OF
the outside public 10 bear the market
but the brokers have dissuaded their
clients from 50 doing. The rise in prices
yesterday morning and today was not
due so mucn 10 dollar wheat as to the
buying by France, where the harvests
are proving disappointing. Millers, too,
are snort Our brokers have not made
much, as they held no stocks; but t is
needless to say that the rise OF nall
crown in the price OF wheat makes the
liveliest times on Mark Lane. The
Americans have pretty near got it all
their own way"
The Westminster Gazette, referring to
the rise in the price of wheat. says:
1T is an unmerited stroke of good luck
for President McKlnley's government
which ought to have been overtaken by
swift calamity for shamelessly paying
election debts to the trusts by the pass
age Of the Dingley bill"
At the same time, the Gazette finds
comfort in the allegation that the
Bryanites are made to look foolish,
and adds:
The western farmers will see that
high prices are compatible with a gold
standard and the destruction of Bryan
and his panacea is bound 10 follow. But
If President McKinley's supporters are
wise they will not for moment imagine
that wnen they dispose of silver they
VIII dispose OF the vote asdiAs1 <Aiiie
can capitalists"
The Westminster Gazette then pro-
ceeds to denounce the "extortions' or
the new United States tariff, which, 1t
alleges. is one Of the worst and most
fruitless sources Of corruption in public
men and public sentiment"
In conclusion the Gazette says:
'sThe degree of success which has at
tended BRYAN shows that the Americans
are becoming alive to the rottenness OF
something, and next time the campaign
Will be directed less to the gold standard
than TO the standard Of public life.
