WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Scott Wike,

returned to the city after ten days alb

Mr.. Wike rays that outside Of num-
Der of the leading cigcr manufacturers

government officials find it extremely
difficult to make much Roadway in

expeditions. The inhabitants, he said,
not only mislead the officials, but in
many cases give aid to the filibusterers.
Mr.. Wike said he believed the officials
were doing their best under these adj
verse circumstances, to uphold the law,
but not, he admits with much success.

WHEAT PRICES AND PROSPECTS.
THE Minneapolis Tribune Of Monday

WHEAT PRICES AND PROSPECTS.
THE Minneapolis Tribune Of Monday
has this to say OF the wheat market:
The wheat market has been character
lied by an absence OF speculation and
by advancing prices on strong legiti
mate conditions. Damage to the wheat
crop Of Argentine has been confirmed;
short European supplies are an estab-
lished fact, and even with the most lib
e1 al estimate of the yield OF the last crop
in the United States the fact cannot be
lodged that our reserves are getting
down to the point where It is question
whether we will have enoug.. to supply
the domestic and foreign demand until
the next harvest.
Exports continue on liberal scale,
Thew amounted to 2,7O7,7 93 bushels
last week against 2,1lI. 900 the prev
ious week. They continued purchasing
oil our lie aiding cereal at the advanced
price by foreigners is steadily convert
ing people in the trade to the bull side.
and even higher prices are confidently
! predicted.
There can be no doubt that as COM
pared with corn and oats the price of
wheat is high enough. It is now sell
| ing around the top figures of the year.
and corn being so low, the principle OF
substitution shonld come in and pre-
vent extreme figures unless corn also ad-
vances in price.
Substitution NAV become a factor lat
er on, but as yet it is not operating to
iepress prices. and NAV not be until
after wheat passes the dollar mark A
large element OF speculation coming in
to the market now, under present condi-
tions. would advance prices quickly
though perhaps not permanently.
