WHEAT DECLINES.

Wheat declined nc. owing to the
termination of the corner at Chicago.
end western receipts We're about double
last years, with Atlantic exports $780,
31S bushels, -four included, against
Else, 500 last year. A speculative esti-
mate makes the quantity still in far
mers' hands 40 per cent. of the crop,
which is quite possible, but the con-
sumption and exports in half the year
ought to take more than 40 per cent of
the years supply. A fleet of vessels is
reported at Baltimore or on the way
thither for wheat. Exports of corn for
the week fell below last years all
though western receipts are unusually
large, and the price fell but "a of
cent. Cotton was a disappointment to
many because it did not change at all
in spot price, although the accounts Of
reduction in wages by New England
works warrant hope of larger con-
sumption.
The cotton manufacture is q little
encouraged by larger demand for
goods since the reduction in prices, and
the abstention of buyers for months
past has probably been due in large
measure to expectation of that reduc-
tion but with the certainty that the
print cloth works are to continue,prices
have further declined to 2.12 cents. The
wooden and worsted mills are both
buying wool quite largely at prices
probably close to the best, for reports
which declared there were no conces-
siOns month ago are now rejoicing
that recent saggedness in prices has
passed away. Behind all the market
reports there is the fact that consump-
ton of wool has for about five months
been the largest ever known and the
buying indicates. as does the demand
for such heavy weight goods as have
been opened, that satisfactory half
year is expected. Prices so far paid
are said to be from 20 to 30 per cent.
higher than a year ago, with wool from
so to 90 per cent. higher, but the buy
| ing is thus far encouraging.

A GENUINE SURPRISE.

That's What the Council "gOt on" Mayor
Couch last Thursday Even ng.
1t seems that for sometime past MEM
bers of the council and other village
officers have been quietly planning to
make raid on the mayors home, when
ever they could find him with an unOccu-
pied evening. By cOupe-de-maine,
they succeeded in capturing him at his
home last Thursday evening, where
headed by Solicitor Blinn and Marshal
Williams, they entered and took possess
ion of everything in sight and began
to enjoy themselves for time, while the
mayors wife, assisted by Mrs. +. W.
Adams, prepared the dining-room table
for the menu which the gentlemen had
ordered for the occasion. About $3.50
all were invited to the DINING room.
Those who sat down to the table were:
Councilmen Adams, D. M. Hall, w. D.
Hall, Lang, Sage and Spicer, Solicitor
Blinn, Marshal Williams and F. A. Chap
mau, clerk. After thoroughly satisfying
the inner man, MIR. Adams, acting as
toastmaster, said that "he had no doubt
that all present would be pleased to hear
from the veteran councilman, Mr.. Lang"
who responded in quite lengthy speech
and among other things said that he had
served as councilman for sixteen years,
and under several different mayors, and
while not wishing to detract in the least
from others, the present mayor had done
more for the improvement and good gov
ernment of our village than any mayor
we ever had, and enjoyed the confidence
and esteem of our citizens to a greater
extent as was shown by the recent vote
on the electric light and water-wOrks,
which cause he champiOned. He spoke
of the kind and courteous treatment
always accorded the members of the
council, and other public officials with
whom he came in contact, and as an
expression of sincere appreciation, he
placed in the mayors hand a beautiful
gold headed cane, with the following
inscription thereon, Presented to
George l.. Couch, Mayor of Wellington,
by city officials, March 3, 1888"
To say that it came as a surprise, is
putting it mildly, but the mayor recOv-
cred sufficiently to return thanks. Cen
eral speech-making was now in order,
and Solicitor Blinn led off, followed by
every one present, all speaking in the
most complimentary terms of the pres
ent mayor. The balance of the time was
spent in social way until the midnight
hour. 1t was certainly an enjoyable
occasion, every detail was so perfectly
arranged, that all wants were provided
for, showing the fitness of the officers
for the positions they hold, and that
they can keep secret, even though they
have to deceive to succeed.

T Asst week, Thursday and Fritay, the
IL city of Cleveland made a most elC-
quent bid for the Ohio centennial to be
held in 1903, in cOmmemOratiOn of the
state admission to the union. The For
est City Out-did herself in the effort to
make all the members Of the legislature
hugely enjoy themselves. They are out
on tour of investigation to all the cities
which have entered the competition, and
which will end in verdict by them,
suggesting the place for the centennial.
The public-spirited citizens of the city
raised by subscription over $1,5O0 with
which to defray the expenses of entertain
ment. Thursday evening they attended
the Euclid Avenue opera house en- masse
to see Fanny Davenport, as cleopatra, "
and incidentally, ran up bill of some
$500 for the evening.
1t is to be hoped that Cleveland will be
the choice of those in whose hands the
matter lies.

Whether anything in particular is

A RECEIVER FOR CUBA.

Probably the latest thing in the way
of scheme for the settlement of the Gu
ban question, after manner agreeable
to all parties interested, Was brOached to
President Mckinley by Representative
Beach of this state. In a nutshell, 1t is
something like this: Consider Cuba to be
concern in which many parties are in
terested. One of these parties and the
concern itself become involved in diff
ference over something, and there ensues
trouble which threaten disaster to the in
terests and property of the other parties
interested. Then, with such condition
Of things, the other parties or even one
Of the parties, has perfect right to step
in and right wrongs existent because of
their interest therein. Mr.. Beach claims
that American commerce, American citi-
zens, and American property in general
has been damaged to an extent that
would perfectly justify such action on
the part of the United States. And when
the situation has been thus changed, car
~ the simile still further and appoint
what would ordinarily be termed a re-
ceiver to rule, not by martial force but
by mutual agreement. ut is believed
that Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, the
Central American Republics and other
governments of America would unite
with the United States, not necessarily
in the controversy to take place, but in a
recommendation for the appointment of
President Diaz of Mexico, as the receiver
of the property. He has the absolute con-
fidence of all concerned, he has been alb
sOlutely neutral throughout the struggle,
he is of Spanish descent, he has shown an
administrative ability that is without
precedent in the Spanish-American cOun-
tries, he understands the Spanish charac-
ter perfectly, and is more competent to
govern Cuba than any AnglO-SaxOn that
could be named"
Representative Beach says the same
scheme has been tried and successfully
carried out many times, nOticaJly in the
case of the obtaining of Grecian indie
pendence, when Prince George Of Den
mark, was selected to rule the country.
