THE WHEAT SITUATION.

is largely a matter of guess work,
and these guesses can be based on
reports only. These reports are so
widely at variance that no calcnla-
tIous can be made, because there is
nothing tangible to make a calcula-
tion on. The commercial reviews
do not agree with each other, and
none of these agree with the govern
ment reports. The only self-evident
thing about the market is that it is
weak and prices steadily falling. A
few days ago wheat was selling here
at IS. 1t has gone steadily down,
opening this week at rs, dropping to
40 yesterday and this morning.
The wheat buyers regulate their
prices by the worlds supply, and the
cause of the drop is aid to be the
prospects for abundant crops in Ar
gentine, India and Australia. OF
course what those harvests will be is
largely matter of conjecture, for it
is nearly four months yet before that
grain will be cut, and at least five
months before 1t can reach Europe.
In five months much may happen.
Last year Argentine gave promise of
abundant crops six weeks before har-
vest time, yet owing to grasshoppers
and drouth, the crop was a failure
and Argentine had to import wheat.
Almost the same conditions existed
in Australia, where lack of rain left
that country so short of grain that
1t had to be imported; while in In
dia the same cause led to a terrible
famine.
Those who build on these coun-
tries supplying the European market
build on a very shaky foundation,
and yet the dealer is compelled to
take these things into consideration,
because if good crops are raised in
these countries the price of wheat
will go still further down.
AS we said at the beginning of this
article, it is largely matter of guess
work, In which each must do his own
guessing. 1t seems probable now
that the high notch has been reached,
for time at least, and that wheat
will not advance for some months,
or until something definite is known
of the crops of the southern hemis-
phere. If they are good, wheat will
not command any greater price than
now, and perhaps will take decided
tumble. If they should prove fail
ures or partial failures, dollar wheat
will not be an impossibility.
The Commercial Review yester-
day says:
"The future depends chiefly on
three things-the foreign Idemand,
the outcome of the Australian and
Argentine crop, and the speculative
buying. We are within three months
of harvest in Argentina. If the
present crop prospects are maintained
Argentina will have 35,00O,OO0 bush
els to 100000 bushels for export,
and some of the estimates run up to
55,OOO,OO0 bushels to 60,0O0,O0O
bushels. Australia will have some
exportable surplus, and as foreigners
do not require all the wheat that
they are short at once, there will
probably be enough to go around.
There is considerable skepticism
among certain elements IN the trade
in regard to the estimated require
ments. 1t has been a practice of
many statisticians for years to figure
out a shortage in the worlds visible
supply which has never materialized. |
This tends to create the impression
that there will be enough wheat to

BEST PEOPLE AT A LYNcHING.
Editor Blackburn of Atlanta Replies to
Some of His Northern Critics.

Atlanta. Ga, July 27.-The Atlanta
Commercial, of which the Hon. Benjamin
M. Blackburn is the editor, is out in re-
ply to the criticisms made on his advocacy
of lynching by the New York news
papers. He says:
"The people of the North are bigger
fools than we take them to be if they
accept as a correct reflection of public
sentiment in the South the professions
of certain papers on the lynching ques-
ton. The people of Georgia favor lynch
ing. Those who contend that lynching
is confined to the lawless element are
a lot of Internal liars, who take the peo-
pie Of the North for lot of fools. We
might as we'll be plain and honest about
the matter. If their contention Is true,
that the people forming such 1nobs are
lawless and unrepresentative, why is 1t
that these men or some of them are not
sometime punished? The governor offers
rewards, but the Oldest inhabitant never
heard of one being claimed or paid.
In TIE case of the Griffin lynching
there was the most perfect order, and
it is we'll recognized fact that in the
crowd there were graduates of the State
University and some of the best people
in Georgia, all Of whom would compare
well with the civilization of any country
on the face of the earth. There is
nobody to prosecute these men, for it is
impossible to get grand jury in Spauld-
ing county to indict them.'

Washington, July 27.-The armor pro-
ducing companies having declined to
furnish the Navy Department the armor
needed for the three battleships now
building at the price of $500 pei ton fixed
by Congress, secretary Long has taken
tie second step in the line marked out
by Congress and has called upon the
snip building companies themselves to
submit propositions for procuring and
fitting the ..armor. One of them, the
Union Iron Works of San Francisco, has
already responded, declining, like the
armor companies, thessdepartment's in
vitation. There is little doubt that the
Others will make a like answer, although
there is small chance that some of the
shipbuilders may combine to secure the

and turn out the armor they need for the
ships in their hands. If however. as is
expected. all of the ship builders s replies
are unfavorable, secretary Long will nro-
ceed one step further and appoint a
board of officers to carry out the direc-
tions of Congress and frame a plan for
the establishment of government armor
plant.

PRESIDENT ANDREWS REMOVAL.
How Great London Newspaper Looks
at 1t.

London, July 2S.-The Daily Chronicle
this morning devotes an editorial article
to the dismissal of e. Benjamin Andrews
fram the presidency of Brown university,
which action it regards as the most
serious blow the capitalist oligarchy has
yet struck at social, economic and in
tellectual liberty in America. The
Chronicle says:
''There is no doubt that Ike Prof. Bemis,
who was dismissed from the University
of Chicago, President Andrews was dis.
missed because he warned his COUNT yEen
against the growth of great monopoIics,
1t seems certain that conflict Is approch-
ing that will shake the Union as it was
shaken by the great slavery question. 1t
looks as though the splendid millionaire
endowments Of American universities had
the unworthy motive OF the promotion of
the interests of monopolists. We antici-
pate great wave of opinion against the
pretensions of the monopolist class as
dangerous to freedom. This movement
will lead to the substitution of public for
private control and ownership of the big
trusts and monopolies and the suhstitu-
tion of state for private colleges and uni

The problems of Democracy rapidly
developing in all directions are many and
troublesome. They must be met with
patience. We must not lose faith nor
abate in courage with malice toward
none, with charity for all each unit in
the mighty organ must bring to their
solution the best that is in him of virtue
and intelligence. Upon the wise and great
the duty weighs with corresponding force,
but upon the humble and weak also it
presses accodingly to their measure of
the responsibility.
The welcome to the old Bay State was
made by Gov. Wolcott who also took oc-
casion to remind the guests of Massachu-
sett' S respect for the office of secretary of
the treasury, from the days of Alexander
Hamilton and for its influence in the
past whenever financial crisis was
threatened.
Mayor Josiah Quincy gave the city s
welcome, and eulogistically referred to
Mr.. Cages career in business and bank
ing.
Col. Henry L. Higginson spoke of the
the treasury, and assured Mr.. Gage that
the people of New England had conf
dence in him.
VIM. A. Russell of Lawrence was inclined
to lay the country's financial troubles
| to the fact that new industries had been
sGlHeu IN the past three years, and when
all branches of labor are quiescent,
finances real low ebb. He was willing
to accept the belief that new currency
system was now the chief goal to attain.
W. B. Rice said he spoke for the gold
men who did not see in the passage of
| the tariff bill the relief desired. lie said
the machinery is still in operation which
in the past has not prevented financial
crises and which will not stop them in
| the future. He expressed his opinion on
government banking and paper money
and said that every citizen should up
hold the administration in it's attempt
to fulfill the pledge by which it secured
office.
| Hon. Charles s. Hamlin made vigor-
| GUS plea for financial reform and his ref
| erences to President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Carlisle and their work for stable
| currency were enthusiastically received.

GIRLS WENT DOWN FIRST.
Goodness Prevents Great Loss of Ltfe a,
New York Fire.

New York, July 27.-Fire at Yonkers,
N. T., this afternoon destroyed two large
factory buildings occupied by VIM. Reed
and Company, hat manufacturers; Row
Iand Brothers. hat manufacturers; Pas
BROS, silk manufacturers and The Yon-
kers Silk company. The loss will
probably reach half million dollars and
eight hundred people are thrown out of
employment. There were no casualties,
though the buildings were crowded with
employees when the fire was discovered.
The gas carriedsthe fire rapidly through
the hat factory. There were about six
hundred men and girls in the building.
AS soon as the. alarm was sounded the
operatives on every floor made rush for
the stairways but the smoke which rushed
up the stairs caused them to turn and
make for the fire escapes. In minute
these were overcrowded.
When the alarm was given and it was
found necessary to take to the fire escapes,
the word was passed to let the girls go
first The girls descended amid smoke
and sparks. By this time the fire had be-
gun to attack the windows about the
escapes. The male operatives followed the
girls down the iron ladders, which were
now beginning to heat from the fire in
side the building.
Ten minutes after the first sign of fire
the entire interior was mass Of flames,
which were bursting from every window
and beginning to show through the roof.
The fire soon ate through the floors
which were weighted down by heavy
machinery and collapsed, followed by the
roof and walls. There was a high west
wind blowing and this carried the flames
to the building occupied by Rowland
Brothers as hat factory. Despite the
hard resistance made by the iremen, the
flames obtained foothold in this build
ing and it was destroyed.
Just across the street from the building
in which the fire started are the big
works of Alexander Smith & Sons, the
largest carpet manufacturers in the
country, and one of the largest works of
the kind in the world.
Fortunately before the fire in the
Shethar building reached its hottest
points there was a change in the direction
of the wind and this carried the flames
away from the Smith works. This change
also doubtless saved large portion of the
city from being destroyed. During the
fire the battery of four boilers in the
cellar of the big hat factory exploded and
hurled burning embers and bricks in all
directions.
The losses are very heavy. There are
various estimates, the lowest of $400, 900
and others run up to $3.50, 600.

When Would They Play Base Ball?

New York, July 27.-Some members of

city, are actively engaged in promoting q
movement for the change Of the obser-
vance of Memorial day from May 80 to

act of Congress will be necessary to effect
the change, the Grand Army veterans be-
lieve it can be brought about. The SUBJ
ject is to be submitted to the national en-
campment in Buffalo on August 23 next
