THE WHEAT MARKET.

Most of the traders the world over
are evidently inclined to look for
high prices for some time to come.
They have become accustomed to
seeing wheat in the 9Os, and are in
cllned to buy it on the weak spots,
in the same manner as they looked
for strong spots to sell it on in years
past Old traders recall the time
when it was generally a sure thing to
buy wheat below 81. Up to the
time that India became an exporting
country, the bulls had no trouble in
buying wheat on the breaks, and
making good money on the bulges
that invariably followed a decline
below 81. 1t was the development
of wheat growing in countries south
of the equator that forced prices be-
low fifty cents. II took the trade q
long time to discover what the real
cause of the weakness abroad was
several years ago, as all their calcu-
lations were out of line. Finally
they learned that Argentina had be-
come competitor with America in
European markets. 1t sold enough
at first In quiet way to make the
American holders uneasy, and when
they discovered that wheat was be-
ing bought in Argentina cheaper

than in America there was a steady
decline that was only checked by the
over-selling by bears. Heavy carry
ing charges were paid, and the bull
was handicapped in such way that
he was unable TO overcome it.
Now conditions have changed.
Countries south of the equator have
no surplus and are buying in America
to supply their wants until the first
of the year. Even Russia gives
promise of having less surplus wheat
for export than in many years. This
leaves the condition of American
holders for the next four months the
strongest ever knowp.-Commercial
Review.

A MoURNFUL DEATH.

Legend and history tell us of the
rise and fall of empires and of races.
Persia commanded the world, yet to-
day it is but province. Macedonia
absorbed the territory surrounding
her like a mortgage, until her con-
quering hosts swept across Asia, and
Alexander was master of the world.
Rome sent her legions to the con-
fines of the earth. The Saracens
swept up from the South, across the
Bosphorus, and planted the banner
of Mahomet, not only where it floats
today, but in the heart of Spain. At
tilla showed Europe the strength of
the barbarian hordes of Hungary, as
did Alaric. Spain ruled the seas, as
England does today.
Upon the decadence of one peo-
pie, another became virIle. Upon
the fall of one nation, another gath
cred and bound up the shattered
remnants for itself. Yet one by one
each in turn went down, and of them
it may be said, as thousands of years
ago it was said of the ancient city,
''Troy was!' Greece rose to the
zenith as q comet, and fell almost as
quickly as it rose, when its head, AL
exander, died. Persia died of fatty
degeneration of the heart. Rome
lived to ripe old age, continuing
her life as long as she was able to
digest what she swallowed, but finally
perished from Over-eatlng. 'Tur-
keys power waned, because her re-
1igion prevented her keeping !pace
with the strides of modern civiliza-
tion. Attilla and Alamo were lead
ers of savages, and savages cannot
exist in the fight with advancement
Atlantis, the tabled, died gloriously
in the height of her power, a victim
of a terrific convulsion of nature
and Spain is moribund, toothless
decrepit, querulous, senile, quarrel
ing with her children and with hel
neighbors over them.
The last is the most mournful, anC
at the same time the most trying tt
the patience, of any end that coult
come to her. But a few years anC
her place among the nations of the
world will be but story. She lin
gers long after the days of her use
fulness are over, q sore trial to hel
children and an eyesore to theil
friends. 1t is high time someone
kicked the bucket for her, and tina
the last sad rites were performed.

Hon. C.. B. Moores of Salem was
yesterday appointed register of the
land office at Oregon City in place
of Hon. T. T. Geer, who declined
the appointment as being several
sizes too small for him. Mr.. Moores
will probably accept the place, and
do it gladly, and yet Mr.. Moores is
perhaps as great a man, as good a
man, and as good a Republican as
Mr.. Geer. Both Of the gentlemen
have been speaker of the house, in
the Oregon Legislature, but Mr..
Moores has not been presidential
elector. The truth is that Mr.. Geer,
had he been left to his own judg-
ment, would have been satisfied with
the appointment; but Mephistopheles
perchel on his left shoulder and
whispered things into his sea shell
ears that he should not have listened
to, and he has formed a too exalted
opinion of himself therefrom. There
are other pebbles on the beach, other
dumplings in the stew.

SHE DRANK SODA WATER.
And Alderman Millar Said She Had a
Right to DO So.

Because she had been guilty of the
serious offense of drinking soda water
in a hotel at Lansford, Manager John
A. Flynn, of the London Gaiety Girls
company, which appeared at Davis
theatre last week, deducted $5 from the
salary of Carrie Montelle, one of the
dancers. The girl had the manager
arraigned before Alderman Millar Fri
day on a charge of fraud.
The manager promised to adjust
matters, but on returning to the thea
ter abused the girl and refused to al
low her to remove her effects from the
place. She had him re-arrested. When
Alderman Millar heard the case Sat
urday Flynn became boisterous and
said he'd be blanked If he'd abide by
any decision in the Montelle girls IA
Vor.
The alderman directed Constable
Tierney to take the manager to jail to
await trial in court This decision
brought the threatened man to his
knees, and with tears streaming down
his face he begged for a reconsidera-
ton, promising to perform whatever
restitution the alderman might direct.
The result was that the girl was paid
her salary in full, her trunk and effects
were delivered to her and she left on
the 110 night Lackawanna train for
New York city.

THE PRISONER OF ZENDA.
That Drama Produced at the FrOth-
ham on Saturday

The company of players that pro-
duced "The Prisoner of Zenda" at the
rockingham Saturday afternoon and
night was not all that could be desired,
in fact it was rather weak, but there is
no gain saying the merit of the drama.
The dramatization of Anthony Hopes
striking story was cleverly done by
Edward Rose. He has preserved the
romantic and poetic qualities of the
story and so cl"verly welded them to
the stirring seen with which the novel
abounds that z action is never too
abundant or forced, yet it never lags
for moment and interest is sustained
until the final fall of the curtain. The
audience might find fault with the ter
mination of the drama, in fact some
did, for after all he had endured it
seemed but reasonable that young Ras-
sendyll should possess the Princess
Flavia and be happy. That is the con-
ventional way of rounding out
drama, especially one of the romantic
school, but in real life rarely come to
such happy conclusion.
The playwrites finale is more dra-
matic and moreover is the logical Sc
quence. AS Rudolph Rassendyll and
the Princess Flavia viewed their duty
to themselves and the duty of the Prin-
cess to the kingdom of Ruritania they
could not have acted otherwise.
In the dual role of the Rassendyll and
Rudolf V, Edward K. Mawson was ex-
cellent and proved a worthy successor
to Sothern in role the latter has made
famous. Miss Una Abel made a win
some princess and acquitted herself
very creditahly. The Antoinette de
Mauban of Jane Everett was weak and
undecisive. In competent hands it
would have been one of the strongest
roles of the drama. Emmett Corrigan,
Benjamin Hendricks and George C.
Robinson are members of the cast whose
work entities them to mention.
