CHICAGO. March III. G. Andrews: Re-
ceipts of wheat at primary markets are
90 bushels against G40OO week ago
today and $4,000 year ago. Receipts at
Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth are to-
day $50 cars against 655 same day last
week and 319 last year. 220 cars of con-
tract wheat went into store here today, and
200 cars are the estimated receipts in Chi
caSo for tomorrow. Again we are COM
PEELED to ask where does it all come from?
We have commented the large exports
week by week for the past three months
and have questioned where all the wheat
came from, as 1t did not appear to reduce
our visible appreciably or in proportion.
and We were compelled to come the con-
cluslon that 1t came from the interior
stocks to points of shipment without
passing through or being noted in primary
markets. That the farmers reserves are
not yet exhausted is evident from the
primary receipts. The winter wheat belt
which has supplied not only it's home mil
lers, the gulf ports and Minneapolis is still
showing reserves and we cannot but con-
clude that every estimate of crop produce
ton has been too low.
our visible decreased 591, 900 bushels. 1t
would have shown an increase but for the
Letter shipments by rail from Chicago 1t
should be remembered that these ship
ments which are lost sight OF in the visible

sa%e" when cleared from the seaboard.
The worlds shipments according to Broom
hall are 100000 bushels. quite above
estimated requirements. Liverpool stocks
show an increase for the week of 112 800
bushels.
The reports Of the weather bureau in
dictate mild spring-like weather all through

today, weak deferred options. but held

They are not sustaining cash wheat or
July and the fair conclusion is that they
intend to squeeze the May shorts The
transfer of May wheat to Counselman &
Day appears to me to be to cover sales
made by many traders on July wheat but
with present indications and present de-
mand we can confidently feel that any
bulges from present prices will prove good
selling points.
Corn and provisions have dragged and
show small business. There is lessened
cash demand for both, which is mo-
mentariy depressing prices. but corn is to
my mind purchase on. these depressions

OUR FORUM
Another POpulixt Talks,

Editor Representative:
1t seems that fusion" is again being
pushed to the front, with what success
yet remains to be seen. In regard to
this fusion scheme, an old proverb ex-
presses my idea: eff a. man deceives me
once he is to be blam-
ed, but if he deceives me
the second time. 1 am to be blamed. ~
And If l put unlimited confidence in a
noted liar 1 show myself to belong to
that class most easily duped.
That the Pops" have been deceived
we have but to read the doings of the
"Dems" in New York. Ohio, and Iowa.
If they haven't spread it on thick
enough, turn to their efforts in Mime
sofa.
AS to the Democratic party it bears
the mark of the beast back to it's young
er days.
Away back in the '4Os it lead the abo-
litionists into fusion, and put that arch
traitor Martin Van Buren, at the head
of the free soil ticket and then joined
forces with the old Wing party and
passed the Fugitive Slave Bill" which
killed the Wing party and would have
killed the Democratic party had there
been any moral character to kill; for it
shirked the responsibility of the law it
had helped to pass until finally driven
ont all
became the great pro-slavery party which
meant its Overthrow-but, they never
forgot the tricks of their youth" In
all this financial struggle it has claimed
to be the free silver party" but if you
look at the history of this struggle you
will see that whenever the Republicans
failed in their efforts for the gold-bugs,
the Democrats took up the laboring oar.
When Hayes and Harrison failed to
complete the destruction of silver, Grover
steps in with free silver party at his
back and completes the work
The Democratic party is noted for it's
fusion proclivities, from the time of the
free-soil party down to the present.
Has it been so long since the green
back" party was fused to death that j.
B. Weaver has forgotten it? or, does he
belong to the simplicity class? or, was he
playing the decoy for the Denis as he is
at present?
Whichever position he takes he is not
safe counselor, for he. must be either In
the Democratic ring or too gullible to be
| in authority.
Many thanks to Bro. Hazen for his
memory of the Omaha platform, it is
time when every Pop. knew where he
| was at" and could hold up his head
without blushing
But when our would-be silver president
is hob-nobbing with the gold bugs and
the chairman of an illegal national COM
mittee is cheek -jowl with the Demo-
cratic committee, where are we, Mr.. Ed
itor, there is more honor in being devil
than in being fool, and 1 am in favor,
if this fusion is contaminated, of calling
a mass convention of all straight Popu-
lists and reorganizing the party on the
Omaha platform. Then we will know
where we are at J. l. LANG.

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous Innings Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbing 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 it's
normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed
forever; nine cases out of 10 are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
