SOARING HEAvENWARD
Wheat Has Got Dizzy Move on Itself
Kentucky Crop More Promising
Than Any Other.

Wheat is going skyward with the
rapidity Of rocket and its phenomenal
fight in the past week has wonderfully
affected the local market. The Irving
ton Elevator Company was fortunate
enough to have $500 bushels of wheat
on hand which was sold this week at
81 p per bushel, on track.
On Monday the Chicago price OF wheat
was 81 rs. This pyrotechnic rise OF
wheat has demoralized the local market
and our buyers refuse TO bid. However
country wheat is in great demand and
Louisville buyers are offering good prices
for the staple on track.
John A. Ditto, we'll posted farmer
and travelling man was in the city Sat
urday and Sunday and in an interview
with the News reporter he states that
Kentucky wheat prospects are the
brightest in the middle west. In all
parts or this state the cereal has attained
a hearty and vigorous stand and looks
bright and healthy. The Weld will be-
large.
In Illinois and Indiana different con-
ditions prevail. Wheat there has OBJ.
tanned thin stand aud is looking very
sickly. The crop prospects in those
great wheat producing states are very
poor.
With the price Of wheat soaring tc
heaven and the European crop prospects
blighted and firm demand in sight,
and the tariff taken off the cereal in the
large European markets, Kentuckians
who raise wheat will certainly be in the
swim this harvest.

THE war with Spain has already cost
the United States several millions of
dollars and even should the crisis be a
short one, the expense of it will be enor-
nous. Starting into it with a poorly
equipped navy the expense of supplying
the big battle ships is Of itself something
enormous. But this is only one thing
out Of a thousand others which the
government has to provide for. But
there seems to be no limit to Uncle
Sans bulk OF finance.

threatened storm. On reaching Boston

been disobeyed, Captain Blanchard
having started out with his steamer in
the face of the gale. 1t had been the
company's invariabie custom not to

weather.
1t is supposed that, not being able to
make any progress against the gale,
Captain Blanchard, after being several
hours out, rounded the steamer to and
ran before the wind and was attempt
