THE TOBACCO RKET

\ prominent commission merchant
of Baltimore has issued the following
circular letter:
1--WE deem it proper to advise you of
the state of our tobacco market. Re
ccip1s have been unusually large for
this time of the year: which. added to
the lack of confidence on the part OF
the buyers in early packing, have
caused prices to declinc-notably so
on the French grades. As the French
contract for 1897 has been filled, the
buyers are not needing stock at present
and are therefore not buying except at
reduced figures. After tobacco has
passed through the May sweat and is
thoroughly conditioned, we look for an
active market at satisfactory prices.
Some light, handling goods are moving
now at fair prices, but we believe they
will do better later on. Heavy French
grades, such as sell readily in June. are
now hard to move at reduced prices.
1t would therefore appear to be to
the interest of farmers not to pack and
ship their tobacco until it has been
thoroughly conditioned and the new
French contract has been avail ded.

THE REPUBLICAN PART i
AND THE GOLD STANDARD.

It has taken the Republican party near
~ Il quarter of a century to find an agreed
and unambiguous position on this eN-
tremely important question Of the coinage.
To- day, the unqucstionable Republican
doctrine is that the existing gold standard
must be maintained SO far as any indie
pendent action or policy of the United
States is concerned, and this sums up all
that has any practical significance. 1t Is
true that it still remains a Republican tenet
that international bimetaliism would he
desirable. and ought, if possible, to be
brought about The efforts made, how
ever, in 1897, have quite convinced all
wcll-infoTmcd persons, whether gold
standard men or free silver men, that IA
ternational bimetallism cannot now nor
in the immediate future be brought about
any more than European disarmament can
be accomplished. International bimetal-
lism may therefore be said to have dlsap-
pearcd wholly from the horizon of things
now practicable Furthermore, it must be
frankly confessed that even as an acade-
mic proposition the once alluring theory
of bimetalism has suffered a good deal Of
damage in the light of recent economic
tendencies The stcadfast readers Of the
Pfrie,r need not be reminded that this re-
mark is not due to any inyeteratc bias
against bimetallism.-From The Pro

A GREAT BOOM FOR CORN

The Baltimore american Of vest ,rday
says: 'The men who are now engaged
in the task of promoting a larger and
more general use of American corn
have every reason to feel encouraged.
They have Just been holding national
convention at Philadelphia. in which
they have decided to continue the work
they have so we'll begun, and to bring
the whole world to a proper apprecia-
ton of the value and healthfulness of
this great American cereal as an article
of food. This American maize pfopa-'
ganda, in spite of its high-sounaing
title, is evidently very earnest in its
work, and proposes system for the
corn education not only Of the people
of the United States, but of those ofas
many foreign countries as they can
reach. They will, in the first place,
secure an adequate exhibit of corn and
its various products at the Paris Expo
sition, while at the Trans Mississippi
Exposition, at Omaha. next summer.
they mean to have an enormous corn
display. coupled with Il cooking school.
which will prove in how many different
ways the cereal can be prepared for 'hn
table. They are even going further
than this, and propose the establish
ment of such schools and exhibits in
all our principal cities.
MAY good luck follow them in their
work. Corn may not be king among
the cereals while wheat lives, but it
can be prince of high degree. just
at present this country is sending a big
lot of it abroad, and is willing to send
more. Last month corn exports from
Baltimore alone footed up over three
and a-half millions of bushels, while
those of the month before were over
four millions of bushels, which was
about three times the amount Of wheat
shipped 1t is very evident that corn
has great opportunities ahead, and its
boomers have fine prospects of great
success in the work they have under
taken
