wheat Market pn 1888.
Consul Mayer writes from
Buenos Ayfes to the Department
of State giving an interesting his
rory of the fluctuations in the price
of wheat in the Republic during
the first six months of 1893. His
observations are given here as they
appear in The Consular Reports for
August li,3;l}.I 80
| The history of the Argentine
when market during the present
shipping season is one of totally
unexpected developments, the
most of them being unwelcomed to
those interested ia the trade. i2
At the very commencement of
the harvest a state Of affairs pre-
vailed that argued badly for the
peace of mind of those who pre-
ferred a quiet business to violent
fluctuations. The scarcity of wheat
toward the end of last year had
driven local prices far above the
rate that exporters could afford to
pay. The same cause contributed
to maintain them for a short time
after the harvesting of the new
crop had started. but once millers
had bought sufficient for their re-.
quirements, a rapid decline in price
set in.
Many exporters had contracted
heavy tonnage engagements, in view
of the comparatively large quantity
of grain in sight, but the rains de-
layed transportation and farmers
held their wheat. a fall in freights
ensued, and gold appreciated in
value, making the position of sell
ers independent. Throughout Feb
ruary and March the market con-
tinued in this state. In April a
frner tone set in in the home mar
ket, due TO the scarcity OF supplies
becoming more apparent. The
outbreak of hos.ilities between the
United States and Spain vas, how
ever chronicled IL the wheat mar
ket. On the Ist Of April the value
here was $3.50; Oh the 18th, it was
$40; on the 22nd, it was SGI, and
on the 9Th of May, it was SI2.5oto
$I3. Shortly after that date a
change supervened at home. From
quiet the markets dritted into de-
preston, and from depression TO
panic was but step; buyers with
drew altogether, and prices have
returned TO more or less the value
of January.
At present the market is almost
entirely paralyzed. Although there
is still a large quantity ofgrain out
side, very little IS being offered.
There is still time for damage TO be
lone 20 some OF the growing crops,
and rise lii gold may caus1 all 40
vance in paper values.
Regarding shipments l am in
clined to put them at full million
tons for the year ending December
81, including those from Uruguay.
With the exception of last year 1t
has been found that by the goth of
June two thirds of the Argentine
crop is shipped. Up to The 18th
instant, 66S,ooo tons had been
shipped from Argentine and about
100. ooo tons from Uruguay. The
rise may have accelerated a little
but it did not last long enough to
have much effect.
Locusts have made an early APP
pearance this year, the Province of
Santa Fe being full Of them. They
will be of benefit at first, prevent
ing the too rapid growth Of the
plant. But these lOcusts may be
followed by others, with results
disastrous to the flowers.

CALLING NAMES.

"Name those heavy taxpayers of
various political beliefs, and we will
show you men who persist in inject
ing their nose into the business of
everybody that comes along"
This is the way the Independent re-
CARDS all who, in any way, interfere
with it's schemes. 1t is not refutation
of argument nor justification of its
position. 1t is only abuse and is as
uncalled for as its ''grammer'' is illog-
ical.
What are the plain facts in the
premises? Mr.. Marquand's term of
office as commissioner had expired.
He had quit office with the good
wishes of his associates expressed by
resolutions and carried away with
him a new ''office" knife as a souvenir
of his official connection with the
board, which connection he said then
and thereby terminated. All his as
sociates and the general public so I'M
derstOod the case. In fact, no other
construction can be put upon it. His
successor had been declared elected
and had qualified and Mr.. NJ. was no
longer even a pretended candidate for
the Office and did not want to continue
in the discharge of the duties of the
position and, above all, was under no
legal or .moral obligation to do so.
Moreover he had no right, and claim
ed no right to do so. This was Janua-
ry 6, 1897.
But partisan contingency or ext
gency arose. The NEW board, accord
ing to law, was to meet to organize
and let the county printing or Mon
day, the 18th. His successors cleo
tion was contested. The trial of the
case had been delayed from the filing
of the first papers by all possible
means the Olson push could devise in
a hope that it would not come to de-
cision before the NEW board could
meet and award contract to Mr.. Oh
son. 1t was understood that if Mr..
Musgraye was elected that Olson
would get the contract, but, if Bar
clay succeeded Marquand, Olson

COUNTY PRINTERS SCRAPPING
MATCHES.

The Wa-Keeney papers are having
their annual Scrapping match over
the county printing, and the worst
feature of it is that they are not like
ly to complete the discussion before it
is time for another awarding of the
work by the county commissioners.
This is the way the Ness County
News looks at it. But we Judge from
the very next item in the column that
Judge Barnd must have had match
which is still smoking. Here it is:
II the decision of the Appellate
court that the printer is not entitled
to fees for printing the list of lands
upon which tax deeds are to be issued
is good law we are not certain but
that we ought to thank the commits
SiOnerS for letting the county printing
to the highest bidder instead of the
lowest.
Brother Barnd is fair. After pay
ing his attentions to Trego on the
north he turns to Hodgeman on the
south, proving that he can look two
ways at once:
Down in HOdgeman country the
triple alliance" paper is growing be-
cause the commissioners gave the
printing to the fellow who made the
highest bid, claiming that if the re-
after the interests of the taxpayers
instead of wasting the public money
as reward for partisan services.
That is the way the reformerS talked
in this county until they had an "or-
gan" to support, and then they sud-
denly changed their tune. We advise
Brother ROughton to possess himself
with patience and not to do too much
kicking now, as the time may come
when his pleading for the lowest bid
der may rise up like a ghost to plague
him. just as it does ninety-nine out of
every hundred reformerS in this
county.
We have little sympathy to waste
on Brother Roughton who visited the
st. Louis convention as Republican
and came back bowling free silver''
for revenue only" and even asserting
that the government were coming no
silver dollars, etc.
We judge that the reformerS of
other counties are reforming things
just about the same as they are in
Trego. Republicans have raised nc
howl about ordinary expenditures and
have. made no sanctimcnious profes-
sions of sympathy for the taxpayer
which they do not practice. The re.
formers have but just as soon as they
get a chance at the public teat they
not only milk the COW for all she is
worth but they mortgage the calves
years in advance.
We shall continue to scrap Ovel
these inconsistencies regardless of the
time of contracts, etc.

RentiIer Firty Feet Long.

Remains of the largest reptiles that
ever lived were discovered in large
numbers recently by Mr.. Lambe, f. c.
s., of the geological survey of Canada.
Mr.. Lambe spent two months in the
Red Deer district, north of Medicine
Hat, in the northwest territories of
Canada, and as result has secured
some splendid fossil remains, The
fossils are the remains of dinosaurs
found in the cretaccous rocks. The
dinosaurs were reptiles varying from
90 to 60 feet in length. Some of them
had three horns, one over the nose, the
others near the eyes. They were either
herbivorous or carnivorous, and ex-
listed ages before the mastodons.

TO WRITE GLADSToNE'S LIFE.
John Morley, the Liberal Statesman,
Is Chosen by the Family for This
Great Undertaking..

John Morley, the eminent liberal
statesman and writer, has been chosen
by the Gladstone family to write Mr..
Gladstone's life.
The only obstacle to his selection
from the first was his agnosticism,
which it was thought might unfit him
for dealing with the religious side of
Mr.. Gladstone's character and career.
No living English statesman was
more thoroughly in sympathy with Mr..
Gladstone, both mentally and politi-
cally, or is better equipped of personal
knowledge and intimacy to give an
idea of the man himself.
1t is predicted that Mr.. Morley will
devote himself to his herculean labor
for the next few years, withdrawing to
a great extent from politics.

cause with only one really sincere, un-
compromising advocate among the lib
eral leaders-Lord Spencer.
