FORCED TO A GOLD BASIS.

Depreciation of Silver Compels It's Adam
as Money by Salvador.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26. "A dispatch to
The Herald from Panama says: Sal
vador has been forced by the slump in
silver to adopt a god standard. Owing
to the financial straits in which Saliva
dor found herself, the depression in
commerce, and the apparently hopeless
future, President Gutierrez convoked
an extraordinary session of congress to
consider the monetary crisis. At the
same time he sent to congress a message
urging the necessity of a speedy change
in the currency system. There was
some opposition in congress to a gold
standard and the fight was waged until
Tuesday, when the bill passed. The
president was also authorized to ne.
gotiate a foreign loan for 50, 800 900.
The new loan will go into effect within
two months. After it becomes opera
tive, all customs will be payable only in
gold.
Salvador's present plight is due to the
slump III silver which threw the coun.
try into a condition more serious than
had ever before existed. The rate Of
exchange on the United States rose
steadily until it reached 200 per cent.

MUCH GRAIN U

Half a Hundred Ocean Vessels Carrying
Cargoes to Europe.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 26.-There are now
in port loading full or part cargoes Of
grain Ia steamers, including the Knight
Bachelor Of 1000 tons, which will take
away the largest cargo of grain that has
ever left Baltimore. A feet of 48 ocean
going vessels, laden with full or part
cargoes of grain, is now at sea bound
from Baltimore to European ports. 1t
is the largest number of vessels ever
bound from an American port at the
same time. Each vessel is carrying
from $4,000 to $50, 900 bushels of grain.
The grain export record for the month
has already been broken, as 5000, 900
bushels of wheat, corr and rye are now
aAoat for England, France, Germany,
Norway, Belgium, Ireland, Scotland
and Holland. All but two Of the yes.
sells sailed since Aug. l.. During the
same period II other steamers had sailed
from here with large cargoes. The
grain men here sustained no losses by
the drop in wheat. Baltimore is not a
speculative market, and the sales here
Tuesday were all on account of foreign
markets for French supply.

COUNT MATSU Is DEAD.

One Of tho VorelnOst Men Of the New
Japa&, Goes to His Reward.
WASHINGTON, Aug. pa telegram
has been received at the Japanese lega.
ton announcing the death of Count
Matsu, ex-minister of foreign affairs
and Japanese minister to the United
States in 1888. The news was not at
all unexpected, as the count has been ill
with lung trouble for a long time and
was compelled by i'll health to resign
his Office about a year ago..
Count Matsu was one of the most dis.
tinguished men in the history Of the
new Japanese movement, and, with the
Marquis Ito, moulded the policy of the
modern empire and successfully carried
the country through the crisis of the
Chinese war. When hostilities Were
over he was a member of the peace con-
vention and framed the treaty which
secured to Japan such great commercial
and political advantages. His services
to his country were equally marked in
fostering the new party movement that
for several years prior to the Chinese
war had eagerly absorbed every material
advantage offered by Western civiliza-
ton. 1t vas due to this as much as to
any n other thing that Japan in that
war was able to meet her huge but un-
organized rival on more than equal
terms. Count Matsu was we'll known
and was liked in Washington, where he
made many warm personal friends dur.
ing his residence here as minister.

BULLS IN THE SADDLE.

September Crowd Has Still Most of the
Wheat In Sight.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. The price of
September wheat was advanced exactly
5 cents, September closing at 96A cents.
1t sold as high as 81 cents. At the same
time December advanced 8 cents to 931l
cents, selling at one time a cent above
that figure. The statements that the
bull clique was still holding on to its
September wheat vas made painfully
apparent. They ''stood pat on their
holdings, little or none being offered for
sale, and as the crowd began to appre-
ciate that fact the price went up by
leaps and bounds. September sold as
low as 92la cents early in the session.
December, however, got its strength
from outside news, heavy clearances,
strong cables and bad crop reports being
the factors.

CROP SHORTAGES
Wheat Deficiency Not the Most
Serious, According to Orange
Judd Reports.
Rye and Potatoes, European
Staples, Are Likewise a Very
Poor Crop.
Total Shortage of Wheat, Rye
and Potatoes Placed at 1926
100000 Bushels.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 26.-An
extensive inquiry into European crop
conditions conducted by the Orange
Judd syndicate of agricultural papers,
including the American Agriculturist Of
New York, the Orange Judd Farmer Of
Chicago, and the New England Home
stead Of Springfield, Mass, indicates
that the food crop situation abroad is
very grave. Estimates Of Europe's
(including England) needs on wheati i'm.
ports range all the way from SOC, ZOO, 900
to 400, O0o, 900 bushels. Europe's wheat
crops for 1895, 1894, and 1898 averaged
about 1900, 900, 900 bushels. In the
famine year of 1891, it was only 1900.
OO0.OO The impression is gaining
ground that Europe's wheat crop this
year is even less than in 1891. But this
is not the worst of it.
Europe usually produces as much rye
as she does wheat. 1t Is the bread
grain of the masses. The rye crop of
the principal European countries rus
STA, Germany, France, Austria, Bull.
garia, Roumania and Italy and the Low
Countries and Sweden) has averaged
about 1900, 900, 900 bushels annually for
1896, 1895, 1894 and 1893. This season
the rye crop of these countries cannot
much exceed $50, OOO, 900 bushels. Quite
as bad is the potato prospect. Only
about 1850, 600, 900 bushels Of potatoes
will be harvested in these countries this
year. Without regard to the United
Kingdom, or other European countries,
there is a shortage of some 1000, 000, 900
bushels of potatoes. European short
age compared with average follows:
Wheat 800, 900, 900 bushels; rye 1885,
000,O 900 bushels; potatoes 1000, 600, 900
bushels. Total 1926, 900, 900 bushels.
