Judge Staples / regarded him as one OF
the ablest lawyers Of his time. He was.
when in his prime, an able and forcible
debater and never failed To impress his
hearers with the power OF his logic and
the wisdom OF his treatment OF a sub
ject. His opinions while a. member OF
the Supreme Court bench Of Virginia were
marked with ability and learning. Judge
Staples never undertook TO express him
self upon a subject until he had familiar
lied himself with IT, and for TINS reason
whatever he had TO say was worthy OF
being heard.
Judge Staples was profound man he

pahny days OF IS L. Hutchinson, fami-
marry known as "Osd Hutch" The exact
opposite OF Ed" Partridge's famous
raid In 1891 was I'm progress. That
plunger began his operations on the
short side OF the market during the
spring OF 1891. and forced the price from
in the nineties 10 l02. To-day's advance
places wheat on the ground Occupied
before that raid. and In a position for
even further appreciation.
The advance to-day was by no means
merely n Chicago bulge. Liverpool
started It. the English markets showing
gain equivalent TO 41-2N43-i cents per
bushel. Every American market fol-
lowed the example. New York gained
3-s. and the northwestern markets 6
cents. The strength OF the English mar
kets was attributed to unsettled weather
and covering by shorts. The official re-
port OF the Hungarian crop. showing It
the smallest in ten years, might have
had some influence. Beerbohm. the
noted English statistician, estimated Eu-
ropean necessities at 3Si,WOVO bushels,
with 1lSOO0.OOO of that amount required
from America.
Cash wheat in most Of the American
markets passed the dollar mark. rms
was the case at Minneapolis. New York.
Buffalo. Baltimore. and st. Louis. The
cash premiums here were even raised
to cents over the September option.
LIVERPOOL
The Liverpool advance being made
ahead OF the American, the English
traders were quick to accept sure

offerings at last nights figures.
New York put the export engagements
there at 100 carloads. but this figure
was regarded as much too low. Lack OF
available wheat there made 1t impossi-
BILE To do much cash business. and only
one lot OF 10000 bushels was reported
sold Atlantic clearances were extreme
ly large, and the total for the week
of 5,2Q0,O00 bushels. reported just after
the close. caused a further advance. OF
3 cents. A few sales of September We're
made on the curb at % rs With fiuc-
tuations so wild, spectators necessarily
limited their operations. 1t was a big
market only in the sense that every
one took part.
The mysterious "bull clique" whose
operations in July options were very
prominent, continues TO be the centre
Of interest Its operations day after day
have made 1t plain that a veteran is at
the helm, but his identity has thus far
been kept from the public. Joseph
Letter well-known local capitalist, Is
said to be heavily interested in the
deal. and well-known car-builder is
supposed 10 have a hand in it. also
Although Partridge's campaign has not
been eclipsed the market is said 10 be
long 100000 900 bushels Of grain. Profits, IL
is said, have already been accepted,
amounting to over SOOO,O00.
The campaign I'm corn is being pushed
vigorously. oats, also, aided by the bull
crowd rose, and gained nearly l cent.
Provisions were not favored by pool
operations, and gained only sails cents.

Biblical Recorder.
We have found the advocacy of an

Or course such an editorial az W.

WAS quickly SIZED upon; but int. lii
gent people appear to be- agreed that
an educational qualification is n.c.s

accord with the spirit and the theory
OF self government. Now then, for a
measure. Some say the Australian

voter be lett alone toread the several
tickets and select that which he pre-

likely so; at any rate the Australian
ballot system is conceded to be the
best ever devised, aud we should be
very glad to see it adopted in North

not only this system, but would
