New York. Sept 20.-The Evening Posts
london financial cab.egram says: The
stock markets opened here to-day steady
but Closed generally dull on the unex-
pectedly large eflux of gold from the
Bank of England. Americans were good
at one time on German orders to buy
Erie. Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
common. The other markets hardened
sympathetically. but there was no public
supper here and the close was dull in the
absence OF New York buying. A small
feature is the revival of speculation in
nitrate shares.
Spanish As were firm on Paris buying
and Spanish exchange in LondO fell
sharply to 3d. against 4.Ss at the open
ing OF the month. Upon Information from
an excellent quarter. negotiations with
the Hong Kong bank and Chinese govern
ment for railway loans are preceding
most satisfactorily for British interests.
Conso.s were lower on the confirmed
report that the Bank of England Is seek
ing to get control of the money market
by borrowing on consols. This point. II
true, will be most important. but | cannot
express a definite opinion at the time of
cabling.
The total eflux Of gold from the bank
to-day was SIC, 900. which, the Official
statement, shows, included c397C0O I'm bar
gold and c2l5, 600 I'm United States coin.
All is said to be going To New York, but
l have reason to believe that a portion of
the bar gold has gone to Germany.

An Immense Wheat Crop,

Winnipeg. Man, Sept. 2O.-Manager
Thompson of the Ogilvie Milling company
has just returned from inspecting the
wheat crops. and says:

admit that the government estimate of the

600 bushels. / estimate the crop of wheat
for Manitoba this year at 30. 900, 900 BUSH
els, and allowing 5000. 900 bushels for the
Northwestern territories, this will give us
a total crop of wheat nearly double that
of last year, and the greatest in the his
tory of the West. l am pleased to find
that the supposed injury from wet
weather has not been anything approach
ing what has been represented. In fact.
damage from that cause has been light.
and Manitoba this year will ship more
No. l hard wheat than the corresponding
crop of last year."

ELECTIONS already held.

The footing for the four sections. ac-
cording to these estimates, is: Dem
ocrats, 16S: fusion, 2s; republicans, Ill;
doubtful. SO. The greatest democratic
gains will. according to these estimates.
be in the East. while fusionists will
flourish in the Western states. 1t is
proper to say that a number of dis
tricts, which will elect populists or sill
yer republicans are classed by the COM
mittee in the democratic column, but
these are districts where the line be-
tween the different parties to the silver
compact have not been closely drawn.
While the democratic claims as to
the composition of the next house have
been daily growing stronger, the re.
publican confidence in controlling the
new senate are likewise increasing in
p~ositiveness. Occasionally the asser-
zion is heard hat the majority will
rise to 10. This estimate, however. in
cludes every doubtful state as among
those certain to elect republican sena-
tors. Even Indiana is In the list and
this is a state in which the democrats
have serene confidence of success.
Chairman Babcock's committee has
also been busy this week claiming that
Wyoming viii return Senator Clark.
