The drama, belonging essentially to the

Van Lear's statements.

was at it's lowest ebb," says he.
1t follows then, that in this nineteenth
for certainly all intelligent, reading peo-
pie throughout the christian world know
that the drama day is more advanced,
as an art, than at any time during its his
tory. Its devotees, who, during the
reigns Of religious superstition were de-
MED social preferment, to-day fill posi-
tions of honor in the worlds Of art, litera-
ture, diplomacy and war.
Again, says Rev. Van Lear: "The
drama is so corrupt that the writings of
the greatest writer (Shakespeare) are
never read by any man in his family"
This is so absolutely silly as to be un-
worthy of notice. A man whose mental
organism is SO barren to make itself
responsible for that sentence has probably
never read one of Shakespearer's plays.
Or if he has read it, in the language OF the
street, it "never touched him." Though
doubtless he reads the Old Testament oc-
casionally, and finds every line chaste
and beautiful.
Il may be stated as general PROPOSE
ton, that in these enlightened times, in
telligent men and women do not decry
all literature because bookstalls are COW
cred with indecent stories, with sugges-
tive titles and alluring title pages. They
do not demand the closing of art galleries
because some painter has made a picture
that overstepped the line which divides
art and indecency. They do not shout,

Caretaker is word adopted into modern
use and means one who takes care of, and
is very generally applied to those employed
to take care Of things committed to their

The event of the week in the Chicago
wheat market was jump of 40 in one
day in the price Of December options.
The sentimental figure Of 81 was
reached for a moment. The bulk Of
the wheat in Chicago is in the hands of
a powerful clique, who are in posi-
tion just now to dictate to the short
sellers of December. These people
keep on declaring there is to be no cor
ner, but squeeze is almost certain.
The outcome of the May price de-
pends altogether on the worlds statis-
tical position. Europe would not be
taking $500, 900 bushels of wheat and
flour from America in one week if there
did not exist extraordinary necessity
for it. But no one knows how long
this demand will keep up or whether
the price fairly discounts the situation.
A good illustration of now little can be
decided with exactness about so vast a
question as the wheat supply is the
conflict OF two respectable authorities in
the mere Interpretation of an official
Russian crop report. The Corn Trade
Newe declares it shows shortage of
l02, 900, 900 bushels, compared with
last year, while Beerbohm makes the
shortage only 100000 bushels. The
profession of crop statistics is like the
ology. 1t is so big field as to permit
Of all sorts of differences and to enable
each teacher to pose before those imme-
diately around him as the only really
authoritative one.
Nothing would affect the sentiment
at Chicago quicker than falling off in
Northwestern receipts. But on this
comparatively simple problem there is
no unanimity. Pillsbury fortnight
ago predicted confidently that the car
lots at Minneapolis and Duluth by No
vember 30 would be down TO small
figures, with not over 20 per cent OF
the crop left in the hands Of the farm
ers. There has all through November
been perfect weather for marketing;
but the authorities at Minneapolis are
now predicting another two weeks of
free movement. The weather is to
count great deal on the price between
this and Decmeber 10th. 1t will make
easy or difficult the continued move
ment Of wheat between Duluth and
Chicago; it will keep open or close up
navigation between Chicgao and Buf.
alo, and will influence, too, the move
ment from the spring wheat farmer into
Duluth and Minneapolis.
