UNusUAL-To see firefiics and June bugs
in October is a rare thing but to see them
rising from the earth, lighting their phos
pborescent lamps in numbers almost equal
to the greatest noted any evening during the
summer, MS we did on Tuesday evening last,
the 4th inst, is so very exceptional and gives
such evidence of the evcnness Of warmth that
has prevailed thus far, that we have deemed
it worthy of notice. The evenings during
the months of September and October reseih.
bic those OF July; We believe that as rule
there are more cool evenings during the
month of August than there have been since

The Government crop estimate puts the
winter and spring crops Of wheat combined
at 100000 bushels.
The wor Is visible supply at present is
about 5000 0c0 less than year ago and
5000 900 less than two years ago at this
time and rs the worlds crop estimates are
revised, it becomes clearer that the worlds
production this year is not in excess of the
consumptive requirements for The year. This
fact with old reserves everywhere exhausted
and The visible supply unusually low, means
sleadincss of demand that must enhance
prices. The demand is everywhere distribu-
ted because in all countries bins are empty
of old stocks, and for this reason accur.ua'
tons are very slow, current consumption
keeping unusually close 10 current supply.
Later returns are more apt to decrease than
to increase the estimated yields Wheat is
good property to buy at these prices and to
hold.- ~. Y. Neus
