Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO. June 21.-There were several
causes which combined to give wheat
strength at the start. The cables were de.
cidedly strong, Liverpool prices ranging
the continents markets better. Another
reason for strength was found In the bad
news from France, where the crop was said
to have been seriously hurt by rust. Ac-
cording to authentic reports the yield there
will be 10 to 20 per cent less than antici-
pated. Advices were also received from
many sections In Missouri Kansas and
Texas, where the grain is ripe, reporting
serious loss from rains, and these, too, had
an influence early In the day. Shorts COW
cred freely and there was some general
buying for the long account. under which
prices advanced sharply. The heavy profit
taking and short selling which followed
this led to a sharp reaction, and Septem-
Der. which started at esA@6Sss, fell of to
G6A@66%,. and July, which started at 800
In the last half of the session the market
turned strong on the confirmation of the
deal to pool the Pilsbury and Peavey
wheat along with the Letter holdings, and
to have Armour handle 1t all, had been
consummated. Together with this came
st. Louis. This bullish news brought the
shorts out In force, and the decline was
more than recovered. July closed with an
advance of 2A@21kc, and September 1A@

An Example Of o,connell's Wit

Daniel O'Connell. though brilliant and
witty, was daringly vulgar when he set out
to attack an opponent. At Dublin election
he started to assail Recorder Shaw, who
was a very digniled and handsome man,
by declaring him fellow whose visage
would brighten a horse from his oats. The
lord mayor. who presided. remarked on
these amenities, and said it might be sup
posed such a critic, like Hamlet's father,
was endowed with Hyperian curls and the
front of Jove himself instead of wrinkled
brow and a scratch wig. AS for himself,
he would not be unwilling to compete with
the demagogue before a jury of ladies if
they could only see him as nature made him,
without the aid of the barber. O'Connell
strobe to the front Of the platform, snatched
off his wig. and. pointing to his naked head
covered with a stubble of gray hair, cried:
Ladies' demand your instant Judgment"
OF course he had the laugh and the best Of
the encounter.-San Francisco Wave.

AN UNWILLING RECRUIT
Departure Of a Young Sicilian Who
Had Been Drafted

More than one American family OF today
can remember the time when, in the season
of the country's need. the young son OF the
house went to the war, but probably not ONE
American family can quite enter into th'
spirit of the scene described by Mr.. William
Agnew Patton in his picturesque Sicily"
The boy who went to war In America was
fired by love of his country and though.
when the farewell came he set his teeth
hard and felt his eyes moisten as he turned
to take a last look at the dear ones gathered
around the home gate, his heart beat too
strongly with patriotism to make the occa-
sion one of unmixed sorrow.
The glow of patriotism is wanting In the
case of the recruit of some other lands, to
judge by Mr.. Paton's description. 1t is one
thing to join the army because of the coun-
try's need and quite another to go as the
result of being drafted, with no thought but
that of bitterness at the hardness of ones
lot.
Near La Chiesa del Carmine Mr.. Patton
saw young recruit, newly drafted, taking
leave of his family. He was very young.
hardly of an age to fit him for military
service. This may perhaps serve as an ex-
cuse for the fact that, in spite of his new
crying like baby as he poured his tale of
woe into the ears of his younger brothers
and sisters, and possibly his cousins also
for some ten or twelve children were
grouped around him, standing or kneeling
upon the pavement, all of them weeping Bit
terly.
The boys mother, her eyes red and her
hair disheveled, was delivering to dozen
or more of her friends a TRADE against the
injustice of compelling her boy to serve in
the royal army. Opinion seemed unanimous,
for all gave their unequivocal and vocifer-
Gus assent to her propositions and COM
plants.
The lane was full of women. There were
few men, only those being there who were
too old to work. The windows and doors
of the houses were occupied by other wo-
men, all gesticuating and all very angry.
When the sergeant, q good-natured fell
low, who had permitted his charge to halt
on his way to the railway station, motioned
the young recruit to come away, the scene
in the lane beggared description. The chill
dren gave loud voice to their sorrow, the
mother frantically kissed her boys face,
hands and clothing. and even, by throwing
herself upon the ground, managed to kiss
his feet.
| Then, rising to her knees, she clenched
| both hands, and, lifting them toward heav-
| en-, seemed to be calling down vengeance
on the sergeant and all set in authority
over him who had part or lot in the taking
of her son from her.
When last seen she was being led into her
house by her sympathizing friends while
the children, crying and gestculating, fol-
lowed the young recruit to the corner Of
the street, where they shrieked last fare
well to the newly made soldier, who trudged
beside the sergeant weeping aloud.-Youth's
Companion.

tions. Here are the latest figures as COM
piled by E. w. Parker, statist!cian OF the
United States survey:
The total output Of last year amounted
approximately to 1sS, 250, 900 short tons, with
an aggregate value of s19S, 1000. which is
trfle short of 81 a ton. This shows an in
crease in tonnage of per cent over the pre-
vious year. The amount of coal produced
last year was the largest on record. Penn

Mining Investments

Directors to mining investments some
times plead the "transitory character of
a mine. The objection is not we'll taken,
for. if extended. would apply to every form
of business. Indeed. few forms of invest
ment are more permanent. How often,
says the Mining and Scientific Press, one
notes the going to pieces of some old-es-
tabllshed mercantile business or the sud-
den cessation of what seemed a profitable
enterprise In every line of business. Yet
that Is not used as an argument against
embarking in trade or engaging in any line
OF business In this regard the mining BUSH
ness will not suffer by comparison. 1t has
OF late years become similar to any other
form of legitimate enterprise-has it's sue
cesses and failures-just as has any other
line os human effort.

Commercial Expansion

1t Is seldom that so much significance is
packed into one statement as in that which
comes from an authoritative source in New
York that 172 locomotives have been ordered
for export in the United States since Apri 1.
The destinations of these locomotives are
China. New Zealand. Spain Argentina Mex
leo, Egypt. Japan. Russia. Brazil. One of
these orders to the Baldwin Locomotive
works calls for II locomotives for the Trans
Siberian and Chinese Eastern railroads.
The Richmond Locomotive and Machine
works have also received orders from the
Finland State railroad. 1t will be seen that
these engines go in the main to countries
which until recently were without railroads
or had next to nothing In the way of accom-
mediation. Probably there is no other
physical fundamentally so potent in civi-
zation as the railroad, and the rapidty with
which lines are being constructed in parts
of the world heretofore lacking in them is
marked evidence of the spread of civilizat ton
and of those commercial ideas which have
placed the Caucasian race on the highest
level. But there is cause for special satis-
faction, says the Economist on the part of
Americans that these orders have come to
the United tSates, when the older countries
were anxious to get them. Tt shows how
rapidly this country is forging ahead In
manufacture and commerce. The American
locomotive is not greatly superior to that
manufac tured in England; indeed in some
respects 1t is not SO good. The quality is.
however. so nearly on a parity that slight
difference in price secures the order to the
American builder. The cost of construct
ing all sorts of iron work has been so re-
duced during the past ten or twenty years
in the United States that our people are
gaining a great advantage over Europeans.
This Is due largely to the ease and cheap
ness ith-which iron ore is mined but still
more to fine ingenuity of our people in
cheapening manufactured goods Every
the old equipment behind the times. Ameri-
cans are specially successful in devising ma
chinery which saves manual labor, The or
ders referred 10 are only ono item among
very many showing how our nlanufac-
turers are gaining on those of the rest of the
world and foreshadowlng for orr foreign
commerce vast expansion.

Nor did 1 ever obtain from the bank
the toan or a siEgle dollar because Of
the DEPOSIT with it of state moneys.
