PRICES ARE STRONG.
STRENGTH ATTENDED, BYsTEAp.
iNESs or DEMAND.
Good Reports Of Expanding Trade
Recent Rise In Reef Due TO condi-
tions Of supply and Demand Farm
ers' Trust Formed at Topeka.

The business situation is thus reported
by Bradstreets: Strength In prices and
steadiness OF demand are still the salient
features OF the trade situation. Fall de-
mand is expanding Mt most markets, par
ticularly good reports being received from
the Northwest and that portion of the
corn growing country which this year
seems likely to be notable for surplus
production. Wheat has been quite firm
all the week, partly owing to a whiting
down of Northwestern estimates, but
also due to steady demand for the cash
article alike ON foreign and domestic ac-
count. The relative scarcity of cash
corn is responsible for the advance shown
this week in the face of concededly
large production. Conditions of supply
and demand seem to be at the bottom Of
the recent rise in beef prices. This ad-
vance has attracted increased receipts Of
grass-fed cattle, and some shading Of
quotations is noted, but Chicago prices
have only been equaled five times in
twenty-five years. There are nearly TO-
O00,000 less beef cattle in the country
than there were seven years ago, and in
fact there are fewer cattle in the coun-
try now than in any year since 1852.
Wheat, including -four shipments, for the
week aggregate 3,343,S25 bushels,
against 100000 bushels last week, g.
'b63,476 bushels in the corresponding
week Of 1893, 5,149,653 bushels in 1897,
3,2S1, 854 bushels in 1896 and 1871, 1928
bushels in 1895. Corn exports for the
week aggregate 4,596,097 bushels,
against 1851, 405 bushels last week. p

WILL HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
Mckinley Outlines His Policy Regard.
ing the Islauds.

ing the islands.
President Mckinley made an address
at the Methodist stronghold at Ocean
Grove, N. j., in which he outlined his
policy regarding Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. The chief interest CEN
tered In his remarks regarding the Phil
ippines, which he declared must after the
establishment of peace be under the con-
troll of the United States. The President
said
Il believe that there is more love for
our country and that more people love
the flag than ever before. Wherever that
flag is raised it stands not for despotism
and oppression, but for liberty, opportu-
nifty and humanity and what that flag
has done for us we want 1t to do for all
people and all lands, which by the for
tunes of war have come within its juris-
diction.
THAT flag does not stand for one thing
in the United States and another in
Porto Rico and the Philippines. There
has been some doubt in some quarters re-
speeding the policy Of the Government In
the Philippines. I see no harm in stat
ing it in this presence. Peace first, then
with charity for all establish a govern
ment of law and order, protecting life
and property and occupation for the we'll
being Of the people who will participate
in it under the Stars and Stripes"
The President and Mrs. Mckinley,
with Vice-President and Mrs. Hobart,
Carrot A. Hobart, Jr., Attorney General
Griggs, DR.. and Mrs. Rixey, Private Sec
rotary Cortelyou and Executive Clerk
Barnes, arrived at Long Branch from
'Plattsburg on a special train of four
palace cars. President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley looked in excellent health and
bowed their acknowledgements repeated
ly to the great crowd as they were es-
corted to their carriage by the reception
committee and driven to Vice-President
Hobart's cottage, Normanhurst, at Nor
wood Park.
