By reason Of the damage admitted
ly accomplished the friends of wheat
are not anxious to sell their holdings
Every week makes it more apparent
that there will be periodic buying all
winter by Europe, which gets from
time to time only enough for the act
ual wants of month or so, and there
are many weather chances on the bull
side of wheat in this country between
now and spring.
Corn is also we'll thought of, It's
position has been bettered by the
fact that there is not as much long
speculation in it as there was short
time ago. Schwartz, Dupee & Co.,
who have secured extra good advices
on the corn crop, say that the damage
by drouth has never been overesti-
mated, and as they figure a consider
able decrease from the government
estimate of yield, it seems that the
present prices will not seem high
when all the facts concerning the
crop are in.
There has been practically no mar
ket in provisions this week. The
yellow fever of course killed the south
ern trade, but in addition to this
stocks are large, and with no particu-
lar speculative interest in the market
of course this creates stagnation.

uox,x1ry,s ADMINISTRATIONS.

Hon. II. C. Van Voorhis is home from
Washington and in an interview in the
Times Recorder he says that never In
his recollection had new administra-
tion stood so Gloss to the people and
aroused so little antagonism, political
or otherwise. Every member OF ooth
houses of cong les, recognizes the ln-
tensity and thoroughress of Mr.. Nc
Kinlev's Americanisr, and they re-
spect him for it. He has striven TO
carry out the pledges of the repuoli-
can platform, and the people know
that his every thought and act is for
the bette nent of their condition and
that of the cot try as whole. The
appointm. ats of the president to the
impor ant positions of trust have been
unanimously commended by political
friend and foe 'or leir high character
and eminent fitness. The only criti-
cism has come from those who think
the president should have at once
plunged into the trouble between
Cuba and Spain without trst IooNlhS
after matters which concern the ma
terial welfare Of every Amer can, and
without thorough investig alton OF
the tuation in Cuba and cur duty in
that connection. "Nobc y need worry
about President Mckinley not doing
everything that is proper under the
c .cumstances,' said !. Van Voorhis.
His Americanism is beyond question
and he is making a thorough invest
cation of the situation on the island,
If after complete study he finds the
conditions such that they will warra Mt
this country IN interfering. you can
depend upon it President Mckinley
will act, and having made sure of his
ground, will act promptly and effel'
tively."

not the politicians and statesmen, the
soldiers and sailors, the poets and
artists--they have been the engineers,
the shipbuilders, the electricians, the
men who have yoked the thunderbolts
of Jupiter to the hammer of Vulcan and
have usurped the authority of Neptune
over the waves, at the same time they
have outstripped the herald Mercury
by the speed of their dispatches. The
steam engine, the steam ship and the
electric wire have in go years effected
n more revolutionary change in the con-
ceptions Of distance than all the mil
lenniums that have passed since the
stone age.
When the queen assembled the throne
the United States were six times far
ther away than they are to-day. India
was 40 days distant, instead of 16; Aus
tralia six months, instead of six weeks.
While this shrinkage has been made a
practical reality for all manner of brute
substances a much more rapid and total
conquest of space and time has been
effected in the exchanges of thought and
knowledge. The cables have enabled
us to beat the sun, to deliver messages
in London hours by the clock before
they started from India. To-day all
news of Importance is practically re-
ported simultaneously all over the
whole world. Our steam ships bridge
every sea, our cables link every con
tinent, and commerce, that spider of
the planet, is weaving all the nations of

home and nest and central abode of that
spider is the country and capital of our
