London, Aug. 30.-The Standards
correspondent at San Sebastian says:
II learn that Spain has intimated her
willingness to make considerable re-
duction in the contemplated West In
dian tariffs, in order to develop the
trade of Cuba with the United States.
She was willing to negotiate a reciproc-
ity treaty when the Dingley tariff came
into force, but the United States re-
ceived advances coldly, because II
wanted the Cuban question settled first.
Indeed, Spain is now aware that
American diplomacy will soon raise
other and more important questions be-
fore commercial questions are likely tc
be mooted. -

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins s comrany's Review
OF Trade.


Wheat sold at above 81 per bushel in
all Eastern markets during the past
week and there are prospects for much
higher prices in the future.
The marked and rapid advance in
values during the week must be at.
tributed to legitimate influences.
Speculation played but a minor part in
causing the advance. The export de-
mand has been the principal factor in
advancing values. rhe general posia
tion of supplies is considerably stronger
than week ago. The European re-
quirements for American wheat as
estimated by Bradstreet are now 1884,
900, 900 bushels as compared with pre-
vious estimate of 100, 900, 900 bushels.
Estimates of American exportable sur
plus have been somewhat reduced ow-
ing to general mfavorable thrashing
returns from the spring wheat crop OF
the Northwest. In this connection
while America must be congratulated
upon having bounteous crop of wheat
with which to meet the increased ex-
port requirements, it must not be over
looked that reserves from previous
crops Of spring and winter wheat are
almost entirely exhausted. II will he
impossible to meet any such export de-
mand as estimated by European statis'
ticians and also establish normal re-
serves in America. Conditions of sup
ply and demand therefore apparently
warrant still higher values, but the
rapidity of the advances has momen'
tarily checked the export demand and
some reaction is probable. There art
several purely speculative conditions
that may upset expectations and result
in an unnatural advance. Stocks o
wheat are abnormally small. The Eu
ropean shortage has encouraged larg'
speculative purchases, The advance
in values has reduced short selling
The result is a congested market, o.
pecially for September deliveries. Tn
forward movement of the winter whea
crop has been small considering tn
large sales for export, and it is now to-
late for any material accumulation Q
wheat in this market until after Sep
tember. We can only conclude afte
careful consideration that while TEN
porary reaction is naturally TO be eS
pected, present values are fully wal
ranted, higher values will obtain late
and that wheat should be bought on al
recessions.

the Present Campaign. Is Above
the Dollar Mark.
Chicago, Aug, S0.--Today, for the
first time since the present bull cam
paign in wheat was started, the price
of September wheat sold above the dol
lar mark in Chicago. Ten minutes af-
ter the opening, $l.031s was offered,
an advance over yesterdays closing
price of 624 cents. Even at that tempt-
ing figure. the bull clique refused to let
go OF their holdings. Enough wheat
came on the market to break the price
to 9S rs cents by the time the closing
bell sounded. but the brokers who were
engineering the deal stoutly denied
that it came from them.
There was, perhaps, a shade of ma
liciousness in the way they forced the
shorts to bid up. 1t was currently re-
ported on Monday, when prices broke
so sharply, that the pool was forced to
put up $400,0 900 in margins. They
certainly had their revenge today. The
rise was plainly due to the clique,
which is now swelled, by rumor, to in
clude Joseph Letter, George X. French,
Allen, Grier g. Co., and james Keene,
OF Wall street. The only leader,
George French, who appeared distinct
ly above the surface, makes no secret
that he has line of 5000, 900 bushels
of September wheat. There was not
much more than | l,l00,0 900 bushels OF
contract wheat in Chicago, with hardly
anything coming, and an immense
short line of cash wheat sold for ex
port. This is the situation as it now
plays into the hands of the bull com
bine.
/ The sudden rise Of September wheat
was not reflected in any other large
market in the country, with the excep
tion of Minneapolis, where September
bounded from 92 cents to 81. st
Louis advanced cents at one time
but relapsed to the opening prices fo
December.
Although statistics were not givei
much attention. one item Of foreigi
news had a distinct influence. Th
foreign potato crop shortage is estimat
ed at the total of 1000, 900, 900 bush
els, which was expected to increase th'
demand for American wheat. Its influ
ence was especially felt in Decembe
wheat, which is not supposed to be un
der the thumb of any clique. Cor
and provisions were both affected b
the excitement in wheat. In corn, In
trading was enormous, and although a
advance OF l to / u cents was recorded
the feeding was very strong at the close
The closing for provisions was 10
20 cents higher.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets infiam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS.
Hawaii Has Not Yet Received Japan's
Answer.

San Francisco, Aug. 30 - The
steamer Mariposa arrived this morning
from Sydney, via Honolulu, with the
following Hawaiian advices:
The Hawaiian government has not
vet received any answer from Japan
regarding the offer to refer the immi
grafton trouble to arbitration. There
is no change in the situation here.
The China registry case was finally
submitted to Judge Perry for decision
August 10, and an early decision is
confidently expected, as the matter will
in all probability be appealed to the
supreme court. 1t is predicted that
the question Of the big steamers regis
try will be settled before she reaches
here again in October. The principal
point upon which the Hawaiian govern
ment rules is the question of McFar-
lanes citizenship, he having been
born on the island OF British parents.

sylvania Steel company posted notice
to the effect that the wages OF all en-

ming with March 1st. Three thousand
men are affected. As usual the en-

steel rails at such low figures. AS usu-

able to soon raise the wages again.
But it will not raise them. 1t has an
