The Chicago wheat deal Is attract
ing much attention. Joseph Letter
continues to hold his immense pur-
chases OF high grade winter wheat. an
amount now estimated at 15.000.O00
bushels. In the meantime prices are
advancing In all parts OF the world,
and it Is difficult to predict the figure
which will be reached by May wheat.
The Letter clique claims that the far
mers have long since parted with their
wheat. and points 10 the fact that

crease the receipts at the principal
points An interesting feature of the
situation is the development that hun
dreds of millers and wholesale -four

further fact that -four has not ad-
vanced In price In proportion to wheat.
This matter has been introduced into
congress and some legislation may fol-
low. The reports OF a Russian short
age which were at frs, vigorously
denied, are found to be true. and the
government will probably repeal the
duty on wheat SO as to permit imports,
The stocks now In Russian ports
amount to 11.6o0,00 bushels. as against
an average of 19,soio0O bushels for
same dates in the last ten years. The
London Times prints a telegram from
st. Petersburg saying that the failure
OF the crops threatens worse dearth
than that of 1891. Russian editors are
forbidden to refer to the matter Of the
coming reduction in import duties.
