slight Improvement for Dec deiiVery.
September, however, showed tendency
in the opposite direction and that be-
coming more pronounced 1t dragged the
active option in It's wake. a factor
which helped the market somewhat at
the start was the report that promi-
nent business man OF Ohio who Is now
travelling in Russia, had written to this
country that he had learned from q
Russian official that the wheat crop In
the Volga district was a failure and that
SO, 100000 bushels OF wheat from other
parts OF Russia would be required TO
feed the population OF that province.The
rank and file OF the speculative crowd
was like the leaves OF the aspen, which

that superscnsitivcncss was shown by
the fluttpr in the market that attended
the spreading OF the oft-told tale from
the Volga. Chicago receipts were lac

Minneapolis and Duluth received l.ll2

Atlantic port clearnnces OF wheat and

there was some selling ngalnst those

sufficient to materially Influence values
The inltlnl upturn was due to moderate

11nuM1NATEs THE WORLD.
Expectation of Petroleum for the Yea.
Just Ended Largest Ever Known.

Expectation OF Petroleum for the Year
Just Ended Largest Ever Known.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1s.-The
United States Eliminates the world
more effectively and completely each
year. Despite the fear so frequently ex-
pressed Of late that the large production
of petroleum in Russia and Dutch East
Indies and the increased use of electric
Ity for lighting purposes would reduce
our valuable exports of Illuminating oil.
the year just ended has shown the
greatest expectation OF that article in
the history OF that important branch OF
our foreign commerce, and the figures
for August show the largest exporta-
lions OF oil for anV single month on re-
cord. The reports OF the treasury bu-
reau Of statistics show that the e&-
ports OF mineral oils in the fiscal year
1898 passed the billion gallon line, the
total. including oil classes. being 1884,
269. SIC gallons, against 97S, 5l4 ,946 gallons
in 1897, and S9O,45S,994 gallons in 1896.
The large production OF mineral oils
IN other parts OF the world, while 1t has
not reduced our expectation, has prob
ably reduced the prices which our pro-
ducers and exporters have been able 70
realize. The exports OF oil In the year
1898 were practically double those OF 1883
and three times those of 1873, but the
money received for them was only
about % per cent greater than that re.
ceiyed either in 1873 or 1888. The total
receipts for the ,034,269,676 salons or
oil exported in 1898 were $50, 6,5IS'wh!le
for the $57s, 35l, SOS gallons exported 10
1888 the receipts were $4,000, 400 and for
the 1888 1903 gallons exported IN 1910
The receipts were S46,574.s74. The aver
are export value OF refined Illuminating
oil was in 1872, 2i.9 cents per gallon; In
1878. l4,4 cents per gallon, having thus
fallen from 249 cents to So cents from
