BIG DECLINE IN FLOUR AND WHEAT.
The Very Best Brands Are Now Quoted at

Since the latter price was made there has been decline of 80 cents a bushel in the price of wheat-the result if the removal of the Letter May wheat deal and it's influences from the mar ket.
 May wheat sold at s1. .S5 on May 10, the day the $S flour price went Into effect while June, or spot wheat sold yesterday at s1.05. Though the sS a barrel figure was in ef- feet a week, there was very little flour sold at that. In fact, there are indications that the buying has been of the hand to mouth sort ever since The attempt to hold the price of bread to cents @ loaf proved equally abortive and has practically been abandoned.
 July wheat in Liverpool has declined 20 cents bushel in the last two days, chiefly on account of the large shipments of wheat made to western Europe by India, Russia, the Argentine Republic and America. the excellent prospect for the crop in all pros dueing countries and the early maturing of

Like most commanders in-chief, especially royalties, he kept personally far away from danger as possible, but I never ascribed his course in that respect to cow ardice. He could hardly have been allow ed to make his appearance where the act ual fighting was going on, even had he de- sired to do so. for 1t would never have done to risk his falling in battle. That would have demoralized the royal army, and might have made it possible for us to win in spite of the odds.
 The Daring Red Prince
 "There was one man of royal blood in the fight against us in AS ana 'ls who showed the greatest daring and won the most enthusiastic admiration of all brave men on both sides thereby. He was Fred erick Charles Nicholas. "The Red Prince" as he was known in the Franco-Prussian contest. two decades or more later.
 "He was sure to be found wherever the bullets flew thickest and did most deadly work. He seemed fairly to delightin fight ing. He had many narrow escapes from death and on one occasion was severely wounded by our men, while some or his companions were killed outright.
 Tt has been one of the greatest pleasures of my whole life," continued the simp.e- spoken old soldier, Ito refresh my mem- ory concerning those far-away days, as have had to in getting my narrative to- gether. It has been the means, too, of my remaking many old acquantances. I have necessarily had to write to survivors of the fight who are still in Europe for cor roboratloh of my memory as to certain things, and also for detailed information which I never had.
 Renewed Old Acquaintances
 "only the other day I received a letter from a man I had supposed to be dead these forty years, and the letter was ac- companied by his photograph. He volun- teered in 1S49 to cary an important let CT through the enemy's lines at the risk of his life and I supposed he was He'd, since, although the letter reached its destination. I never heard of him again. But it ap- pears that he escaped after all and is now a highly prosperous physician in Switzer- land whlther he fled like most of us after the inevitable defeat which wound up the war.
 q remained as briefly as possible in Switzerland, pushing on first to Paris, then to London, and finally to America; other wise I should have met him there. He gave me sorne much needed facts in his letter-facts that have enabled me to clear up much that has hitherto been puzzling to me-

Before the old Emperor William died used some- times to think I'd like to go back, if for nothing else to set eyes on the man who was commander-in-chief of the royal army when I was leading the revolutionists. but my desire to see him was hardly strong enough to make me cross the seas."

 The first car of new wheat for the season of 1898 reached Chicago yesterday-the ear Hest new wheat ever received here The grain is only tn advance guard of large lot now en route from Texas. In view Of the new wheat prospects, the fairly liberal sup ply of old wheat still on hand in milling ceu- ters and the large stock of flour in the hands of both wholesale and retail dealers, the local flour and grain men predict that there will be still further reductions in the price of four Their belief Is that barring widespread failure of the wheat crop of Europe or of the spring wheat crop or America, the price of flour will gradually settle back to $5 to $5.5O barrel, which was the ruling price for months before the May manipulation resulted in advancing prices sensatonally.

It is to be expected, of course that sales will be light this spring, and that receipts will fall off as the summer approaches, but the publications of the past month have been fairly numerous. The plans. though, of publishers have been disar- ranged. Books that were to be brought out at once are indefinitely postponed, as it is not considered good policy to bring out book and have it wait awhile for readers.
 Nine out of ten books succeed at once and win popularity because of their first kind reception. Among the recent publica- tons are found many titles by prominent authors, notably "Caleb Vest" by F. Hop kinson Smith; "The Girl at cobhurst," by Frank R. Stockton; "Penelope's Progress" by Wate Douglass Wiggin. These are al- ready in popular favor, and large sale is anticipated 'The Romance of Zion Chapel,' by Richard Le Gallinne; '"The Standard Bearer by s. R. Crockett. and "The Londoners," by Robert Hichens, are among the latest contributions to fiction.
