Downing, Hopkins COmpany's Review
OF Trade.
The declining values for American
wheat and -four during the last decade
and half can be traced to known causes.
The increased competition in supply
ing wants of importing countries by
Russia, India, Argentine and Australia
account for the major portion of the de-
cline in values. The still further re-
ductiOn in values can be accounted for
by the decreased cost of production,
owing to improved machinery and to
some extent by the decreased cost of
transportation and smaller intervening
charges between the producer and con-
sumer. The extreme low range of val
ues during the last two crop years was
due largely to widespread commercial
disaster, consequent panic and lessened
purchasing power. The present specu-
lative contention is that vital changes
have taken place in the known condi-
tions which have produced previous low
values. To begin with, India is no
longer competitor of America in the
wheat export trade. Famine at home
has stopped her exports more effectually
than war or its attending blockades.
The Argentine Republic, at one time a
serious competitor, is suffering from
two succeeding crop failures and her eX-
portable surplus no longer exerts any
depressing influence on values. Austria
liza, owing to crop failures, has become
an importer instead of an exporter of
wheat. Only two remaining countries
possess exportable supplies of wheat
America and RUSSIA condition that
cannot be changed for more than year
to come. Russian advices, always I'M
reliable, still indicate that less than
the usual amount of wheat is available
for export. American supplies are
known to be far below the average of
recent years. In France the crop pros
poets are far below those of the preced-
ing two years. Ii we grant for the
sake of argument (and it cannot be re-
futed), that excessive competition dur
ing recent years has decreased wheat
values, the the present conditions war
rant return in part, if not wholly, to
the normal range of prices before such
competition depressed values.

The house Thursday indefinitely post
pOned Turner's railroad commission
bill by vote of SO to 80.
The debate occupied little more than
an hour. The opposition was led by
Williams, who has always been an
anti-Turner man, and the bill was adj
vocated by Roberts, Geraghty and
others. The discussion was over the
motion to postpone it's readings and to
indefinitely postpone the bill. Owing
to the close vote and the absence of
seven members, it is believed an effort
will be made for reconsideration, and
that there will be another lively fight.

The senate Tuesday adopted resolu-
ton introduced by Baum of Okanogan,
for sitting committee of five to pre-
pare a calendar after next Monday.
Grow endeavored to get into the resolu-
ton that the committee should consist
OF three, and, failing in that, tried to
amend Baum's resolution by having
seven members, but both propositions
failed, and Baum came out winner.
Half an hour was spent in discussing
a resolution by McReavy, giving to the
women who advocate suffrage permits
sion to take up the time of the after
noon session Wednesday, to lecture on
woman's suffrage After nearly every
body had had a say, Houghton arose to
object. 81 expect to vote for this
BILL" he said, ''but if these women
come in and force me to sit here and
listen to their arguments, l may be
driven to the other side. 1t is ridiculous
to turn the senate into lecture bu
rear." The resolution was finally de-
feated-1l ayes, 10 noes.
Range of King presented resolution
adopted at mass meeting in Seattle,
favoring the passage of the Cline dis
pcnsary bill, and calling on the King
county delegation to favor the bill.
Houghton's bill for the relief of the
widow of II. G. Ashenfelter, and appro-
priating 81, 574.54 as compensation for
the changes made in the state univer-
sity building contract, was amended liy
Houghton to read SO, 1925, and passed.
The bills introduced in the senate
were: Conn, authorizing civil actions
against the state; High, reducing the
salary of the secretary of the state
board of health; Lesh, for the preyen-

The senate passed Hills bill for an
amendment to the constitution to con-
fer the elective franchise on women, the
question to be submitted at the next
general election in November, 1898.
AS bill of similar purport has already
passed the house, there is every reason
to believe this bill will be substituted
by the house without serious opposition
Senator Hill made his first speech in
advocacy of his bill, and the debate
which followed was listened to by a
large crowd, mostly women, who filled
the lobby. Nearly every speaker felt
it his duty to make the occasion as har-
monious as possible, and the ladies took
occasion to applaud any witty remark
that came from the advocates, and this
was allowed by the chair without the
usual interference.
The bill received only the required
number of votes for constitutional
ndment-two-thirds of the whole
chamber, the vote being 20 ayes to IL
noes. Deckenbach changed his vote
from no to aye, for the purpose of NOV
ing for reconsideration.

MAKING OF FLAGS.
One method of instructing the children in
patriotic work introduced by Miss Pascal into
her school has been to set the pupils to max
ing flags to present to patriotic societies and
patriotic individuals of National prominence.
