Our wheat CrOp.

FROM the review OF Reviews.
Precise agricultural statistics may be
possible in the next century, but they have
not been obtained hitherto. The United
States governments estimate Of this
years American wheat crop Is $4,000 900
bushels. But some private expert esti-
mates go almost as high as 600000OO.
Bradstreets considers 5J0OOO,O00 a reason
able forecast. Full allowances having
been made for the home demand, II is es-
timated that we shall have about 100000
bushels available for export. For the year
ending June 30 we exported l40 10000 BUSH
els The shortage In the European crop Is
estimated by such continental authorities
as Beerbohm 20 be more than 10000 900
bushels. as compared with last year. The
demand for the American surplus, there
fore Is certain TO be very firm, with the
result Of better prices than farmers have
been accustomed TO obtain for a number OF
years. An interesting development Of our
wheat trade Is the rapidly increasing de-
mand that comes from China and Japan,
this being fosterod IN part by the chang
ing customs OF the orient and the grad
nal Improvement In standards OF living.
and In great measure also by the marked
progress OF steamship navigation across
the Pacific, which has reduced freight
charges and has made wheat an availa-

sense and thrift to pluck an eat. As his
studies of American mushrooms contin-
ued his grief increased, and he began to
write about them. Many columns of news
paper articles and several books were
thus produced. one of the varieties that
greatly interested hSn in his mushroom
days was that which invariably selected
an elm tree for its growing place He
found beautiful specimens growing on the
elms that dot Boston common, and il was
a great delight to him to gather them.
This he did with a long pole, bearing a
hook on one end. He used 20 attract much
attention from loungers and casual by
passers in the common when manipulate
ing this mushroom pole, and came TO be
known by thousands as 1.-THE mushroom
man."
Most of this part of his life he earned
his income, or at least the greater part
of it, as a money broker and his Inowl-
edge OF per cent" is understood to be
exhaustive.
Mr.. Palmer was rather noted in Boston
as a man who felt most comfortable in &C.
centric dress-not picturesque, but simply
queer His trousers, at the time he was
engaged in hunting the elm tree mush-
room, were often disrespectfully referred
TO by the gaping mob as high water
pants" and the other articles OF his at
tire matched his trousers.
He was also noted during his Boston life
for his chumminess with persons of for
eign birth-Frenchmen, Spaniards and
Italians. For weeks and sometimes months
he would spend most of his time among
those who hardly spoke English at all,
and his acquaintances, who did not under
stand his motives, used to comment Won
deringly upon his taste. To his intimates it
was clear enough-he is extremely fond of
modern languages, and, though he could
learn French, Italian or Spanish from
teachers, he could learn these tongues sat
isfactorily only by living among those
who use them habitually and colloquially.
His method of study has proved TO be
most successful, for he now speaks and
writes each of the languages mentioned
as well as he does English.
1t may be that he was turned from the
religion of his fOrefathers while studying
modern languages among Roman Catho-
lie devotees. AT all events, he became q
convert to the Roman church some years
since, and later his wife followed him into
the fold Her death occurred about two
years ago. Since then, until he entered
the eX-queen's service, he has lived much
of the time, summer and winter, absolutely
alone at his country seat, Wellheet, OF
Cape Cod 1t is quite possible that he
will play host to his distinguished en-
ployer at Wellheet, when he takes heI
to Cape Cod, as announced last week. Mr.
ed one of the strangest of all his peculiar,
tiles by his friends. He did not share his
solitude with a servant but cooked his
own meals and attended to all the work
of housekeeping himself.
Mr.. Palmer has always held aoof from
society, though his antecedents and mean,
are such that he would have no difficulty
in entertaining a most desirable social cir.
Gle years ago or of maintaining his posi-
ton therein.

In the the event of the infraction of these
