WASHINGTON, February 26.-Washing-

The inauguration could take place to-
morrow if the great engine, blazing with

until it comes putting and snorting into the
station. Washington viii hold its breath
with expectancy.
The principal actors in the g~at Fourth

the cabinet family are here; and others
are arriving on every train. The hotels
are booking their last rooms and private
houses are renting out spare chambers
at surprising prices. One Of the hotels
has engaged its smallest suite for 500 for
three days. Prices from now on will rise
steadily.

WHEAT.

Wheat got up to about the oo-cent
mark this week in the eastern mar
kets ard on Thursday a sale was made
here at S6ss cents, which was better
than we expected at this time. Later
It dropped back or 4 cents. 1t would
be wise man indeed who can predict
what the price will be one month
hence. The best August information
places the crop of Winter wheat at
355, 600, 900 bushels, against $50, 600
900 as indicated month ago, and
40, 900, 900 bushels harvested a year
ago.
The approximate total of Spring
and Winter wheat, as it now appears,
is $50. 600, 900 bushels. which is at
least 20. 900. 900 bushels more than
last month and upward of I4s, 900. 900
bushels more than was harvested 1896.
Prices, owing to the bad foreign wheat
crop outlook, may rise somewhat high
er, but when the movement of this
years crop from the, igrain-growiug
sections begins more freely the
chances are that there will be break
in the market, as the American crop
is believed to be an unusually large
one
We give this for what ii is worth,
and merely suggest that prices at
present. considering the large yield,
are quite remunerative and every man
should decide for himself what is best
to sell or not to sell.
